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

Chapter 189 The Purity and Complexity of Power, and Their Complementarity
After Cao Wenzhao and Wu Xiang met up, they entered Xuanfu, where they soon encountered strong resistance from the People's Salvation Army.

Often, a few hundred men would dare to charge at them. Relying on their firearms, they would kill a thousand or eight hundred people before quickly retreating. Even after the enemy had regrouped, they couldn't catch up and had no way to deal with these militia.

This cycle repeated itself until Yang Zonghan defeated the Qing army and returned, having only advanced a few dozen miles.

When Yang Zonghan returned and the troops joined forces, the Ming army was immediately at a disadvantage after several battles, suffering countless casualties.

Even though the militia had been dispersed and stationed in various cities, and even after they reunited, they would only number seven or eight hundred. However, the more than 20,000 Ming troops were still at a disadvantage and even began to retreat steadily.

When Wang Zhenyuan and his entourage arrived, the Ming army was instantly defeated and driven out of Xuanfu.

In fact, if they hadn't almost run out of guns and ammunition in the previous battle, they would have been annihilated long ago.

For a moment, looking at the Badaling Great Wall in the distance, and the bright yellow national fortune and gray-black public resentment on the opposite side, and the mixed iron-blooded aura on the Great Wall, the three of them felt a sense of bewilderment and that there was no one in the world they could fight.

If it weren't for the Heavenly King's order to temporarily refrain from attacking the capital before having enough manpower to govern the country, lest the country descend into complete chaos, leading to even greater suffering and mass deaths, they would have truly intended to conquer Shuntian Prefecture, the capital, in one fell swoop.

After confirming that the Ming army would no longer dare to easily break through the Badaling Great Wall, Wang Zhenyuan and his two companions leisurely led their troops back.

In Xuanfu City, three people stood atop the city wall, watching the ever-changing clouds in the sky and the shifting fortunes of the nation.

Originally, Xuanfu and Datong were places that held sway over the fate of the Ming Dynasty.

Although there was also a gray and black aura throughout, it was still able to maintain a balance.

However, the situation changed drastically after the Qing army entered the two prefectures.

The bright yellow national fortune belonging to the Ming court began to dissipate rapidly, and endless gray-black resentment soared into the sky, almost covering the entire world. Only a thin layer of the bright yellow national fortune remained, barely managing to maintain itself.

That was the negative emotion that erupted from the Qing army's rampage in the two prefectures, the despair and fear of countless people, and their dissatisfaction with the inaction of the Ming government troops.

When the People's Salvation Army entered the two prefectures and began to annihilate the Qing army, countless people's hearts and minds immediately gravitated towards the People's Salvation Army.

However, since the National Salvation Army had not yet completely occupied the two prefectures, the National Salvation Army's national fortune did not arise.

This is the limitation after the world advances.

Otherwise, wherever the People's Salvation Army reaches, the nation's fate will also arrive instantly.

Unlike today, where the fate of the militia can only be brought forward if territory is secured or the ruler of a country is killed.

However, the national destiny of the Salvation Army did not come.

However, the shift in public opinion, the gratitude and blessings, all transformed into an endless purple aura enveloping the People's Salvation Army, making the People's Salvation Army, which was originally a dark red, iron-blooded, and fierce force, appear even more so.

A faint purple aura enveloped the heads of Wang Zhenyuan, Zhou Junsheng, Yang Zonghan, and all the soldiers of the Salvation Army.

This did not make the iron-blooded aura surrounding everyone more mixed; on the contrary, it made the iron-blooded aura softer when facing its own people, making it easier to manipulate.

It should be understood that because the Iron-Blooded Aura is derived from battlefield combat, the killing intent in everyone's hearts, and the despair and fear of the enemy, it appears too iron-blooded and rigid.

It not only intimidates others and has a great killing effect, but it also has a certain impact on the militia itself, causing damage to their physical and mental health.

It's only because of the divine authority that this damage is minimized.

But no matter what, they all exist.

Now, the existence of the Purple Aura of Public Opinion has neutralized and eliminated this harm, making it gentler when facing its own people.

At the same time, the presence of the purple aura also gave everyone an air of nobility, which would instinctively inspire goodwill and respect in the common people when they saw them.

In addition, there were also traces of special rule fluctuations lingering around everyone.

Before everyone had advanced to the Divine Power realm and could sense the power of the rules, this special fluctuation of the rules seemed to have little effect on them.

However, if anyone harbors ill will towards them or wants to harm them, the power of the rules surrounding them will, under the influence of the purple aura above their heads, create a real-world interference.

Unless the power is strong enough.

Otherwise, when harming these militias, mistakes will always occur for various reasons, preventing the achievement of the objective.

Having sensed all this, the dynasty in Xi'an Prefecture couldn't help but ponder, his gaze sweeping over the lands of Sichuan and Shaanxi Prefectures, as well as the Hetao Plain region.

All the members of the People's Salvation Army exuded a fierce aura; all the farmers radiated vibrant life; all the merchants shone with golden wealth; and all the officials were imbued with a serene, official air.
Within the territory of the People's Salvation Army, the power within everyone manifested, highlighting its purity.

In the dynasty's mind, purity was the only way to demonstrate power.

Therefore, influenced by their thoughts, everyone in the territory of the People's Salvation Army can participate in anything, but their power and aura seem so pure.

However, can the complexity of the human heart really be described simply as a kind of power or aura?

At this moment, however, what happened to the People's Salvation Army made the dynasty suddenly realize something.

In fact, it is complex
In other words, having different strengths and characteristics does not mean they are weak, nor does it mean they are mutually restraining and chaotic.

Sometimes, they can complement each other.

For a moment, Wang Chao couldn't help but feel ashamed. He was supposed to be a time traveler from the future, yet he had fallen into a kind of delusion, always thinking that purity was the best thing.

Even the dynasty itself has begun to consciously transfer various powers from its consciousness space to the outside world? Isn't his purpose to maintain the purity of his soul and power?

That's not wrong.

Maintaining the purity of one's soul is, of course, the right thing to do.

However, power does not necessarily have to remain pure.

Sometimes, complementary combinations can create a synergy greater than the sum of its parts.

In a way, isn't this the combination of divine status and supernatural powers?
If it weren't for this instance, where the iron-blooded aura of the People's Salvation Army combined with the auspicious purple aura of public opinion, the dynasty might never have realized its mistake.

Fortunately, the national power of the People's Army was limited after the world advanced, and it was unable to descend immediately in Datong and Xuanfu.

Otherwise, the power of the purple aura of popular support would have long been absorbed by the nation's destiny. Furthermore, influenced by the dynasty's will, the purple aura of popular support that converged on the People's Salvation Army would also be eroded and assimilated by spiritual power, eventually being stripped away and purified.

Spiritual power merges with heaven and earth.

Those lingering thoughts filled with gratitude and blessings will also be collected into the consciousness space and integrated into the divine power palace.

After realizing this, the dynasty couldn't help but start thinking about ways to change things.

Furthermore, the changes should not be too abrupt, but rather planned gradually.

After some deep thought, Wang Chao finally had an idea, and the new power rules were integrated into his spiritual power.

In the next instant, the new power rules had already begun to erode and assimilate the dragon's national destiny under the power of spiritual energy.

"Ang~!"

In an instant, the golden dragon of national destiny that was circling Xi'an suddenly let out a loud dragon roar, which spread throughout the land along with the power of national destiny.

"Om~!"

At the same time, a mysterious fluctuation also spread out instantly, merging into all the power systems.

In that instant, most people were slightly stunned, as if they had heard a faint dragon's roar.

Those who are more capable and hold higher positions will feel this more deeply.

Without being able to resist, they circulated their inner power and looked up to gaze around.

The mighty and unstoppable national destiny of the Ming Dynasty filled the universe, cleansing away all evil and defilement.

The government office was shrouded in a blue aura of officialdom, and under the blue sky, the distinction between the wicked and the wicked was clear.

The locations of the garrison, the inspection office, and the public security administration office are all imbued with varying degrees of fierce and menacing aura.

The school, with its white academic atmosphere covering a large area.

Nothing seems to have changed.

But subtly, everyone felt something was different.

They just couldn't quite put their finger on what was different.

They didn't notice it immediately, but the dynasty saw it clearly.

All the power is being tinged with other colors.

The most obvious changes were the bluish official aura and the iron-blooded killing intent of the army.

The power of the nation's destiny and the dragon's aura began to gradually integrate.

This signifies the dynasty's investiture, and is the legitimate succession of the People's Salvation Army's legal system.

A faint golden hue began to emerge from it.

The official aura transforms into azure gold, while the army's iron-blooded killing aura transforms into golden red. Because of the integration of the national fortune's dragon aura, the iron-blooded killing aura is no longer so menacing and harmful to both sides; it can now be called military aura.

Furthermore, the proportion of gold varies depending on the official rank.

For core high-ranking officials like Wang Dahu, Wang Zhiyuan, and Wu Chang, the two forces will be evenly divided.

As for the village chief, who is at the very bottom, he only has a slight golden tinge, which is barely noticeable unless you look closely.

In addition, there were wisps of purple aura gradually gathering on the bodies of different officials and soldiers.

These are the people who are recognized by the people and have the support of the public.

However, the purple aura gathers very slowly, requiring an extremely long time before it becomes apparent.

Other forces are also changing.

For example, the state-owned trading companies that were originally under the control of the Ji family but are now managed by the Commerce Department, in addition to their golden wealth aura, also have a hint of bright yellow, the color of national fortune.

Some farmers suddenly noticed wisps of white, red, or even golden wealth, or a mixture of colors.

White represents their knowledge, indicating that they have read books and truly gained something from them.

Red represents martial arts energy and blood, indicating that the person has practiced martial arts and achieved some success.

The golden aura of wealth does not necessarily mean that the person is rich, but rather that they have done business and can be considered a semi-businessman.

The mixed nature is easy to understand; it means that they have learned multiple skills, such as martial arts, literature, business, and manual labor.

However, since the adjustment was just made, the changes are not obvious yet, and it will take quite some time for the transformation to be fully completed.

As the dynasty gazed into the distance, a kaleidoscope of colors soared into the sky, yet all were integrated into the nation's destiny. A smile involuntarily appeared on his face. This was truly the world of lights and shadows, the myriad phenomena of life.

but
The dynasty looked towards Datong and Xuanfu.

There, the integration of power becomes less than satisfactory.

Even the national fortune belonging to the Ming court has become extremely thin.

However, the constraints of global rules still firmly hinder the extension of national destiny.

However, it's not entirely impossible to extend it further.

Because the purple aura of public opinion surrounding the People's Salvation Army, and the soaring gray-black aura of public resentment, would subtly resist the fate of the Ming Dynasty, tearing open gaps in the national fortune, which would allow the fate of the People's Salvation Army to slowly seep down.

Gradually, the iron-blooded aura of the People's Salvation Army began to take on a golden hue, transforming into a military spirit.
