I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Chapter 174 The Divine Dragon of National Fortune, Beyond the World

After the dynasty's power underwent a transformation, the golden dragon aura above it also underwent a transformation as well.

"Kaka!"

From the depths of the darkness, it seemed as if a sound of an eggshell breaking could be heard.

"Ang~!"

The next instant, a deep, majestic, and domineering roar suddenly came from within the golden light.

The voice was loud and clear, instantly spreading to every corner of the territory, and all the people could hear it clearly.

Upon hearing the roar emanating from within the golden orb, countless people couldn't help but look up, wanting to see the source of the roar.

"what sound?"

"What is this sound?"

"His imposing and domineering presence compels one to submit."
Could this be a dragon's roar?

"It must be! That must be the roar of the dragon."

"I knew it! The leader, the Heavenly King, is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor. The establishment of the Heavenly King system and the bestowal of titles naturally lead to extraordinary celestial phenomena and the bowing of divine dragons."

"Haha, the Heavenly King is truly the chosen one!"

While everyone was discussing and looking up,

Suddenly, a golden ball of light appeared in the sky.

People everywhere can see this golden ball of light, which is as bright as the sun.

Beneath this golden ball of light was a tall altar, upon which stood a figure.

However, this is less a sight to be seen by people and more a reflection in the hearts of the masses.

That altar

"Is that the Heavenly King beneath the altar?"

"Is that the Heavenly King?"

"That must be the Heavenly King."

"Indeed, the Heavenly King is the Heavenly Emperor descended to earth."

Just as everyone was discussing this, they suddenly saw the huge golden ball of light begin to vibrate violently, emitting dazzling golden rays.

In the next instant, the golden light suddenly split open, transforming into a golden cloud. A golden dragon burst forth from the golden light, letting out a series of dragon roars.

"Ang~!"

"Dragon, dragon, dragon, divine dragon, there really is a divine dragon."

At that moment, everyone was once again so shocked that they were speechless.

"The True Dragon, the Son of Heaven"

"As expected, the Mandate of Heaven belongs to the Heavenly King."

After bursting out of the golden light, the divine dragon instantly transformed into a golden beam, traversing the entire territory of the Salvation Army and devouring endless national fortune.

However, although the golden dragon was extremely fast.

However, everyone could clearly see it all. The loud dragon roars echoed throughout the entire territory of the People's Salvation Army, and all the ghosts collapsed instantly, turning into a rain of light and disappearing.

As they watched the golden dragon soaring overhead, everyone bowed and prayed.

The local city gods and land deities, looking at the divine dragon in the sky, couldn't help but bow in unison.

As soldiers who died fighting to save the people, even after being appointed as city gods and local deities, they still held themselves to the standards of soldiers.

Upon seeing the Heavenly King, they would bow in respect; and upon seeing the golden dragon representing the Heavenly King, they would naturally bow in the same manner.

However, the ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon streaked across the sky, visible to all the soldiers and civilians who were saving the people.

However, Hong Chengchou and Qin Liangyu, who were separated from Sichuan by only a narrow strip of land, along with many Ming soldiers and civilians, as well as people from other neighboring countries, did not see the golden dragon or hear its roar.

In their eyes, the bright yellow glow that enveloped Sichuan suddenly thinned rapidly, leaving only a very faint layer.

After quite some time, the bright yellow light gradually returned.

"what happened?"

Some people on the Sichuan border suddenly became incredibly excited, staring fervently at the sky as if they had seen something magical.

However, they couldn't see even the slightest bit.

He then sent his soldiers to disguise themselves as civilians and inquire with the people of Sichuan, which is how he learned the whole story.

The two looked at each other, both somewhat incredulous.

What's wrong with this world? Before, when they were training wholeheartedly or fighting, miraculous energy suddenly began to grow within their bodies.

After that, the People's Salvation Army suddenly rose up and swept across Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces, established its own regime, and then suddenly burst forth with that bright yellow light.

Now, a golden dragon has suddenly appeared, visible to everyone, roaming the entire territory.

I don't know if these things are connected in any way.

Could it be that this People's Salvation Army is truly going to succeed and replace the Ming Dynasty?
Or rather, the People's Salvation Army has already succeeded, and all that remains is to march east and completely occupy the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that they're deceiving themselves and unwilling to believe it.

After circling Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces, the golden dragon returned to Xi'an Prefecture, circled once more, and finally arrived above the dynasty.

"Ang~!"

It let out another dragon roar and suddenly inhaled sharply towards the direction of the dynasty.

Seeing this, even though he knew that the golden dragon probably wouldn't harm the Heavenly King.

However, the people of both provinces couldn't help but gasp, holding their breath and watching the dragon's every move with bated breath, praying silently in their hearts.

They had finally started to enjoy a good life under the Heavenly King's leadership, so he couldn't afford to get into trouble.

In fact, everyone had misunderstood. What the golden dragon devoured was not the dynasty, but the golden light above the dynasty that had given birth to the dragon and spread out into golden clouds.

"Om~!"

As the dragon devoured the clouds, the golden clouds swiftly flew towards it.

During this process, the golden clouds regrouped and transformed into a golden ball of light once more.

Furthermore, the golden light continued to shrink and condense, eventually transforming into a fist-sized golden bead, which was swallowed by the golden dragon. Immediately afterwards, the golden dragon circled the dynasty once, slowly lowering its body and head, bowing before the dynasty.

Fortunately, there were no civilians or military personnel in a large area around the altar.

Otherwise, the descent of such a massive golden dragon would inevitably cause great chaos, and even lead to a stampede.

Upon witnessing the golden dragon prostrate itself, the people and officials throughout the Salvation Army's territory were once again thrown into an uproar.

"The dragon has submitted to the Heavenly King."

"Haha, isn't this normal?"

"That's right, who is the Heavenly King? He is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor. Shouldn't everything in this world submit to the Heavenly King?"

Ignoring what everyone was thinking, Wang Chao looked at the golden dragon in front of him, or rather, the dragon of national destiny, and slowly took two steps forward, placing his hand on the top of the golden dragon's head.

"Ang~!"

The dragon let out a deep roar, seemingly quite happy.

The dynasty was even happier.

This divine dragon of national destiny is evolved from the dragon energy nurtured by the previous national destiny.

Furthermore, after its evolution was complete, it also possessed a certain level of intelligence, no less than that of a three- to five-year-old child.

However, its intelligence is more like that of an AI, mainly manifested in its ability to act according to instinct and the orders of the dynasty, actively seeking more suitable methods, without having a strong thinking ability itself.

Besides possessing considerable intelligence, it also has extremely strong combat power. Anyone who tries to harm the dynasty will be suppressed and attacked by the Divine Dragon of National Fortune.

Furthermore, as the extension of the dynasty's power, the Divine Dragon of National Fortune can be integrated into his mind at any time, allowing him to control the Divine Dragon of National Fortune in battle.

This is equivalent to the dynasty evolving into a guardian spirit beast, a semi-automatic mech, that possesses considerable intelligence and can be descended and merged with at any time.

Moreover, it hasn't even finished evolving yet.

There's still one last step to go.

Once the complete evolution is complete, it will inevitably undergo another transformation, becoming even stronger than it is now.

Even the nation's destiny, spiritual power, and the dynasty itself, and everything in this world, will receive tremendous blessings.

Of course, the dynasty would inevitably be the one that benefits the most.

Sensing the turbulence of the surrounding laws of heaven and earth, Wang Chao couldn't help but smile slightly, knowing that he could no longer delay.

"Let's go back!"

He said something softly and then withdrew his hand.

"Ang~!"

With a soft roar, the Divine Dragon of National Fortune reluctantly took to the air, circling the dynasty once more before surging into the sky and disappearing instantly.

"Did Shenlong return this time?"

"Has the dragon ascended to heaven?"

In reality, the dragon symbolizing national destiny is certainly not some kind of ascension to heaven.

At the same time, it is no longer hidden in the spiritual realm, invisible to all living beings, as it was before.

From the dynasty's perspective, the divine dragon of national destiny instantly crashed into the depths of this world's spacetime.

In an instant, endless power of rules surged in, cleansing everything about the national destiny dragon.

And through this medium, it was fed back to the dynasty, and quickly radiated outwards, with the nation's fortune, spiritual power, and so on all being refined by the endless power of the rules.

In that instant, Wang Chao felt a sudden jolt to his mind, instantly becoming one with heaven and earth, as countless profound pieces of information flooded into his mind.

That is a vast amount of rule information.

If the dynasty can fully comprehend and master it, then he will become the uncrowned king of this world, or even its ruler.

At the same time, its perspective is also rapidly expanding.

He seemed to stand in the endless sky, looking down at the earth below.

A massive altar for worshipping Heaven stood atop which stood a young yet dignified man, with two rows of civil and military officials standing below the altar behind him.

In the surrounding distance, countless civilians prostrated themselves, bowing to the militia in despair, but all their eyes were fixed on the altar.

Further away, there were many people, some standing and saluting, others kneeling and bowing in worship.

The perspective of dynasties is still rapidly evolving.

Soon, the entire Xi'an Prefecture came into view.

Shaanxi, the surrounding Sichuan, Henan, Shanxi, the vast grasslands, and the Western Regions all began to be taken into its view.

Finally, the entire Earth came into view, a blue planet appearing before the dynasty's eyes.

From the dynasty's perspective, the ascent was still rapid, and soon the moon came into view.

Then came the sun.
Huh~?

Wang Chao suddenly realized that the order seemed a bit off.
Before he could even ponder this, he felt a sudden jolt in his mind and found himself in a dark, empty space, with occasional mysterious fluctuations flashing by.

When scanning his mind and senses, it often brings him a strange and wonderful experience.

However, the dynasty could not understand its profound mysteries, nor could it make use of it.

Just as Wang Chao was about to study it carefully, he suddenly felt an irresistible suction force coming from behind him.

The next instant, he returned to his body.

However, at the last moment, he seemed to see a phantom star in that dark and empty space.

However, he couldn't say for sure whether it was just his imagination.

Without realizing it, Wang Chao frowned slightly, not knowing what kind of place it was.

Thinking back to my previous experience, it seemed like I was constantly climbing upwards, and then suddenly I appeared in that dark, void space.

Could it be?

Is that outer space?

But that doesn't make sense. Even in the vastness of space, there are countless stars. How could there only be a void and darkness?
Also, after leaving Earth and passing the Moon, shouldn't it be Mercury or Venus? How did it become the Sun?
And after passing the sun, the view suddenly turned into darkness and nothingness?

Could it be that at that time, in some mysterious way that he couldn't understand, he left this historical Ming Dynasty world?
Is that dark void a scene from beyond the world?
