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

Chapter 182 The Incarnation of Heaven, Totem Mark

Sensing the information in his mind, Wang Chao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. It seemed that the rules of heaven and earth in this world had also undergone self-adjustment and evolution after merging with the national fortune, dragon energy, and national fortune golden dragon concept rules that he had evolved.

After only a brief moment of contemplation, the dynasty decided to go with the flow.

Even without such a rule, a dynasty can still devour the fate of another nation, as well as the mythical beast associated with that fate.

However, if we follow these natural laws, we might gain some other benefits.

Sensing the unseen connection, Wang Chao was lost in thought.

Immediately afterwards, the dynasty took control of the nation's destiny, using the People's Salvation Army that entered the Hetao region as an anchor point and medium to swiftly descend upon the land.

At the same time, the dynasty also controlled the golden dragon of national fortune, and suddenly spewed out a mouthful of golden dragon energy, which instantly transformed into a slightly smaller and somewhat illusory golden dragon clone of national fortune. Using national fortune as a sea, it quickly rushed towards the Hetao region.

And this is what Wang Zhenyuan and the others saw.

After swallowing the Tatar Tumed tribe's national fortune golden wolf in one gulp, the dynasty felt countless pieces of information flooding into its mind.

Various informational concepts about the Azure Wolf Totem, the Eternal Heaven, and the related rules and powers were continuously integrated into the dynasty.

The Eternal Heaven, the embodiment of heaven and earth, is probably the Heavenly Lord of the Central Plains, a being like the Supreme God;
The wolf totem is the faith of the grassland people, a symbol of power and strength, just like the worship and faith of the dragon in the Central Plains.

In an ordinary world, they would simply be some kind of religious totem.

But in this world, as the dynasty rises, the world advances again and again, hurtling headlong toward the path of the extraordinary.

These illusory existences are gradually becoming a reality.

In particular, national fortune and dragon energy, once integrated into the rules of the world, are evolving in the direction that people imagine.

This is not fundamentally different from the supernatural powers of dynastic evolution and the divine status of the ruler.

The concept of a dynasty is simply an evolution of a certain aspect, following a pure and refined path. However, after being summarized into the concept of a dynasty, it transforms into something broad and extensive, with everything originating from me and everything returning to me.

However, the Eternal Heaven and the Golden Wolf of National Fortune, or the Azure Wolf Totem, accept all information and concepts, regardless of their quality or whether they conflict.

What should have been a vast and profound national destiny, divine beasts, and dragon energy, has instead become vast and chaotic.

This makes it very difficult for them to develop independent spiritual consciousness; they are essentially unable to separate themselves from the masses, serving as both the faith of all beings and their puppets.

The mythical beasts representing the national destiny of other countries are probably in similar states.

The gods worshipped by ordinary people, lacking corresponding rules and concepts in harmony with heaven and earth, are likely in an even worse state.

They possess only spiritual power, but not the rules of heaven and earth, nor the ability to manipulate the power of heaven and earth.

After devouring the Golden Wolf, the national destiny of the Tatar Tumed tribe, and digesting the information within it about the Eternal Heaven and the Azure Wolf totem,

The dynasty acquired two abilities: the incarnation of Heaven and the power totem.

The incarnation of Heaven, as the name suggests, is the ability to condense an incarnation representing Heaven and Earth.

Of course, this is definitely not enough to reach the level of incarnation of heaven and earth; there are far too many limitations.

First, it can only manifest itself within the Tatar Tumed tribe and the areas under its jurisdiction.

Rather than calling it an embodiment of heaven and earth, it is more accurate to describe it as a spiritual aggregate capable of communicating with the surface rules of heaven and earth and slightly influencing celestial phenomena.

For example, the gathering and dispersing of clouds on a small scale is not even as powerful as supernatural abilities.

However, after the dynasty integrated it, its power and scope were greatly enhanced, expanding to the territory of the Salvation Army and the territory of the Tatar Tumed tribe.

Furthermore, the incarnation possesses all the supernatural powers of the dynasty and the abilities of the Golden Dragon of National Fortune, and has a certain ability to make its words lawful, truly possessing a trace of the majesty of an incarnation of heaven.

The Azure Wolf Totem is a totem mark. When someone is branded with the Azure Wolf Totem, they gain a certain power boost.

Similarly, this ability was enhanced after the dynasty incorporated it.

Furthermore, a dynasty could design an image and the power it possesses, and once someone is branded with this image, they will possess the corresponding power.

Of course, to some extent, this was actually no different from the status of the emperor, and it did not have much effect on the dynasty.

However, as Wang Chao looked at the crowd below, some unusual thoughts suddenly arose in his mind.

Wang Chao transformed into a golden dragon, circled once in the sky, and looked down at Wang Zhenyuan and the others below. His majestic and domineering voice resounded.

"He has rendered meritorious service in destroying the state and deserves a reward!"

In the next instant, the golden dragon of national destiny suddenly spewed out countless golden rays of light, which transformed into countless golden starlight points and fell on all the participants in the battle.

The golden light gathered and quickly condensed into a small golden dragon mark between their eyebrows. If you didn't look closely, you would think it was a point of light.

This golden dragon mark, besides allowing them to borrow a portion of the nation's dragon energy to increase their cultivation speed, is primarily an honor representing their contribution to the destruction of the nation.

As the magnitude of the merit differs, the golden dragon mark will exhibit different degrees of solidity, and the national fortune dragon energy borrowed will naturally also differ.

As for the Tatar Tumed tribe, only Ligdan Khan died; the entire tribe was not destroyed.

Yes, even before that, the various Mongol tribes had harbored resentment towards Ligdan Khan because of his campaigns in the east and west.

This even forced many tribes to submit to the Later Jin.

Furthermore, Ligdan Khan's westward migration will inevitably provoke even greater discontent among the various tribes, causing them to become increasingly alienated from him.

If Ligdan Khan were still alive, he could probably maintain power for a long time. Many tribes in the east would have submitted to the Later Jin, but the tribes in the west would probably still obey Ligdan Khan's orders.

However, all of that was based on the premise that Ligdan Khan was still alive. Now, Ligdan Khan has been killed.

As a result, the Tatar Tumed was basically not far from disintegration.

not to mention.
The dynasty looked eastward, and it seemed that all of Ligdan Khan's wives had been captured.

Given their status among the various Mongol tribes, they could certainly win over a large number of Mongol tribes and draw them towards the Salvation Army.

It can be said that the Tatar Tumed have virtually no chance of making a comeback.

Moreover, since they were able to surrender to the Later Jin with their tribes after Ligdan Khan's death, they could naturally lead the tribes under their control to join the Salvation Army.

Perhaps the dynasty could not bring the entire vast Tatar Tumed under its control in a short period of time, but it could bring in a part of it.

Most importantly, for a dynasty, the greatest gain is simply to devour the enemy's national destiny beast.

If it can rise again and reunite with the divine beast of national destiny, the dynasty will be extremely pleased. It will not even need to find a reason to start a war; it can directly send a large army to conquer and devour another divine beast of national destiny.

Therefore, for a dynasty, whether or not it actually destroys a country is not important; what matters is killing the enemy leader and devouring the enemy's national fortune beast, which is the achievement of destroying a country.

Below, as soon as the golden dragon mark was formed, a message immediately flowed into everyone's minds.

The merit of destroying a nation, the mark of a golden dragon, the blessing and reward of the golden dragon for the nation's destiny.
Looking at the golden dragon symbolizing the nation's destiny in the sky, Wang Zhenyuan touched the dragon mark between his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his face. This was the Heavenly King, the golden dragon symbolizing the nation's destiny's recognition of their achievements.

For a moment, the entire Hetao Plain was filled with joy and excitement. They touched their own brows and grinned foolishly at the golden dragon mark on the brows of their fellow soldiers.

As the sentiments of the Salvation Army shifted, boundless spiritual power spread, and the bright yellow national fortune spread even faster, soon enveloping the entire Hetao Plain.

After bestowing the golden dragon mark upon Wang Zhenyuan and the others, Wang Chao thought for a moment, and finally exhaled another breath of golden dragon energy, which landed within the territory of the Salvation Army.

In a war of national annihilation, the frontline soldiers naturally contribute the most, but does the logistics team deserve no credit?
They naturally deserve equal credit.

Therefore, the dynasties also bestowed upon them the mark of the golden dragon.

Of course, their golden dragon mark was even more illusory.

Wang Sanshun, Chief of the General Staff Department.
Well, he should now be called Wang Zhiyuan. After Wang Erniu changed his name to Wang Zhenyuan, Wang Sanshun took it to heart.

Isn't Wang Zhenyuan more famous and more meaningful than Wang Erniu?

His name, Wang Sanshun, sounds rather rustic in comparison.

After much deliberation, Wang Sanshun decided to change his name to Wang Zhiyuan, symbolizing his extensive knowledge and profound wisdom.

Wang Zhiyuan was handling affairs at the General Staff Headquarters when he suddenly heard a faint dragon's roar.

"Hmm~?"

Wang Zhiyuan looked up in confusion, only to see a golden light suddenly descend from above and instantly enter his brow.

"Hmm~?"

Wang Zhiyuan was initially taken aback, but then the information that surfaced in his mind revealed the reason for the incident.

"A war of annihilation, a feat of annihilation"
This suggests the Tatar Tumet kingdom has been destroyed, and Ligdan Khan is probably dead as well.
"You dare mess with my militia? You'll die, won't you?"

Touching the golden dragon mark between his eyebrows, Wang Zhiyuan instinctively turned his head to look north, muttering to himself as a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Many others in the territory of the People's Salvation Army shared the same fate as Wang Zhiyuan.

For example, Zhou Tie, the secretary of the Weapons Manufacturing Department, the craftsmen of the Firearms and Cannons Department, and Wu Laoliu and Zhu Duanliang of the Gun and Cannon Research Institute all obtained the illusory Golden Dragon Mark.

Even the logistics troops transporting grain received the Golden Dragon Mark, with the main goal of ensuring that everyone received the grain.

The only difference is the degree of solidification.

The golden dragon mark that many soldiers received was just an almost imperceptible phantom, the kind that could only be seen upon close inspection.

However, regardless of the circumstances, they were all awarded the Golden Dragon Mark based on their respective contributions.

For a moment, everyone was filled with joy and excitement.

Regardless, when everyone saw the golden dragon mark on the forehead of the frontline soldier, their joy and excitement immediately diminished; the difference was huge.

Indeed, those who directly participated in the destruction of the country deserve more credit.

For a moment, they all wished the Heavenly King would launch another war of annihilation, and they were determined to win the mission of fighting on the front lines.

Moreover, even in logistics, as long as one participates in more battles and receives the blessing of the Golden Dragon of National Fortune time and time again, the golden dragon mark between the eyebrows will eventually solidify into a tangible form.

Two days later, Wang Zhenyuan and his men gradually finished cleaning up the battlefield.
In this war, as many as 20,000 steppe cavalry were annihilated, including 8,000 extraordinary soldiers.
Nearly 100,000 prisoners were captured, including some of Lim Danhan's sons and his eight wives.

These people were then forced to return to the area inside the Great Wall.

At least for the short term, most of them will not have the opportunity to return to the grasslands; they will be forced to perform hard labor for more than three years in the territory of the People's Salvation Army.

At the same time, tens of thousands of people who had already gathered and fled from neighboring provinces began to leave the Great Wall, embarking on their journey to the Hetao Plain with uncertainty and trepidation about the future.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhenyuan and his group began preparing to head east across the Yellow River.

They haven't forgotten why Ligdan Khan migrated westward.

In fact, the Later Jin army that forced Ligdan Khan to migrate westward should be given even more attention.
