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

The pendant on Yang Ting's forehead is not just decoration; it is also a state-of-the-art mobile phone with various capabilities.

Of course, calling it a mobile phone at this point is no longer appropriate; it should be called a military communication device.

In addition to its communication function, it can also perform certain single-target attacks, just like before.

As for why it's placed on the forehead, it's simply for convenience.

As soldiers of the Celestial Empire, their hands should naturally be wielding real weapons.

By placing the communicator on the forehead, the projected light screen can be directly displayed in front of the eyes, making it easy to operate and even lock onto the attack target.

In some situations, it can also have a surprise attack effect.

Seeing that there were no enemies, Yang Ting then used the communicator to search for another group of civilians who were stranded outside.

At this moment, the golden dragon in the sky finally digested the national destiny dragon energy it had devoured, as well as the rules of heaven and earth contained within it.

As the dynasty's cultivation level increased, the speed at which its national fortune dragon energy absorbed the national fortune dragon energy of other countries not only did not increase accordingly, but actually became more difficult.

Because the current national fortune and aura have truly penetrated into the level of rules.

Even if a dynasty has mastered many of the rules and mysteries, it still needs some time to digest rules of the same level.

Of course, it says it will take some time, but it's really only a quarter of an hour, which is already very fast.

As the dragon energy and rules were digested, the golden dragon of national fortune immediately showered down a vast expanse of golden light, feeding back power according to each individual's contribution.

Then, the golden dragon of national destiny swung its tail and rushed towards the location of the imperial edict, transforming back into dragon energy characters and merging into it. It slowly withdrew its power and fell into Wang Shi's hand.

Looking at the imperial edict in Wang Shi's hand, whose power had clearly more than doubled, Wang Jingchen's lips twitched.

I never imagined that a war of national annihilation would involve such tactics.

The imperial edict and dragon energy devoured the golden dragon of the enemy nation's destiny.

Seemingly sensing Wang Jingchen's thoughts, the royal family couldn't help but smile and say:

"We learned this from that old Li. By using the dragon energy of the imperial edict to devour the dragon energy of the enemy country, we can retain some of it."

When the need arises, it can play a greater role, right?

Thinking of the rumors that General Li Shuda extorted dragon energy from various countries in the East China Sea, Wang Jingchen couldn't help but smile.

As for the various military commanders, will Wang Jingchen feel apprehensive about using the imperial edict to devour and control the dragon's energy?
Of course not.

The dynasty had mentioned this to him before.

All the dragon energy of the Celestial Empire is tied to the Celestial Emperor. No matter how much dragon energy there is outside, it will instantly bow down and submit to the Celestial Emperor.

Therefore, military commanders should use imperial edicts to carry dragon energy, absorb dragon energy to strengthen the power of the edicts, and use them to fight the enemy when necessary. There is no need to stop or punish them; in fact, they should be encouraged.

Because the imperial edict absorbs the dragon's energy, it can only increase the dragon's energy power to some extent. The greater benefits still belong to the Golden Dragon of National Fortune, which belongs to the emperor.

After eliminating the hidden dangers in the new Shengjing, Wang Shi moved in with Crown Prince Wang Jingchen.

After that, he, as the commander of the Northern Xuanwu Legion, no longer needed to personally lead the battles.

Sending just a few small squads would be enough to sweep through and occupy the rest of the territory.

The Crown Prince's position as military supervisor can now be relinquished.

Next, he needed to handle various military and political affairs in the newly occupied areas of Shengjing.

As time went by, the original territory of the Qing Dynasty, spanning millions of square kilometers across the east, west, north, and south, was all occupied and controlled by the Celestial Empire.

Romanov III immediately dispatched envoys to the new Shengjing to request an audience, hoping that the two countries could coexist peacefully.

Wang Jingchen did not directly refuse, but gently explained to him that the Celestial Empire has always valued treating others with benevolence and would never start a war without cause.

Well, what he didn't say was that this "treating others with benevolence" referred to the people of the Celestial Empire.

Seeing Wang Jingchen's gentle demeanor, Romanov III and the princes and nobles breathed a slight sigh of relief and gradually calmed down, even establishing trade relations with the new district of the Celestial Empire.

On the other side, as the national fortune of the Celestial Empire enveloped a large area of ​​northern territory, the spiritual power that penetrated deep into the rules also spread there. Using the Qing Dynasty's dragon energy rules as a guide, the spiritual power quickly embedded itself into the rule level of this region.

The endless mysteries of the rules continuously flowed into the spiritual energy, which then fed back to the dynasty, constantly perfecting and completing the nascent form of the Dao Fruit.

"Bang, bang"

With rhythmic contractions and expansions, the nascent Dao Fruit slowly grew, eventually reaching the size of a ping-pong ball, radiating a profound aura that surpassed everything.

A mysterious power flowed from it, permeating every part of the body, reaching the soul and the space of consciousness.

This mysterious power, originating from the nascent form of its own Dao Fruit and derived from the laws of the Great Dao, was thus referred to by the dynasty as magical power.

Yes, in order to distinguish the Great Dao that it had nurtured and evolved from the rules of heaven and earth, the dynasty called it the Law.

The fundamental logic of the operation of heaven and earth is rules.

Humans or other life forms, through the integration of legal principles derived from humanities and society, and the mysteries of the rules of heaven and earth, have evolved into the Great Dao, which is the law, the Great Dao Law.

However, the dynasty's current Dao fruit is only in its embryonic form, and the laws of the Great Dao have not yet been fully developed, so its current magical power is naturally incomplete.

Hmm, half a step into magic power?!

The magical power flowed throughout his body, constantly cleansing and assimilating it, transforming it into a part of the Dao fruit.

Of course, because of the special nature of the Dao Fruit's prototype, the evolution and transformation of the Dao Fruit did not affect the outside world.

Even the dynasty's cultivation level has not yet achieved a fundamental breakthrough; it is still considered to be in the immortal realm.

The rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit can only be described as a comprehensive integration of one's own power. Only when the word "rudimentary" is removed will it be a true breakthrough in knowledge.

However, the completion of the rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit did not affect the various forces in the outside world.

However, the integration of spiritual energy into the rules of the new territory, and the analysis and fusion of a large number of rule mysteries, will in itself promote the improvement of those powers.

Spiritual power, national fortune, and dragon energy—the immortal and underworld realms, which are all dependent on the national fortune, have all undergone significant improvements and enhancements.

Consequently, the dynasty's perception and awareness of the rules of heaven and earth also became clearer and more acute.

The dynasty's gods and heavens were in harmony. Based on the operation and fluctuation of the rules, they were able to directly sense the puppet rules of the late Ming world, as well as the underworld that had spread and enveloped the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Although this kind of sensing, which is directly based on rules, seems very vague, it is already a huge step forward.

"Um"

After pondering for a moment, Wang Chao suddenly had a thought.

"Om~!"

In an instant, the magical power within the dynasty's body began to circulate rapidly, once again entering a state of transcendence.

An aura of power that transcended everything and the rules began to emanate from the Dynasty. The Dynasty's figure gradually became ethereal and hazy, once again stepping onto the realm of rules.

Of course, this means that the dynasty has already grasped, or can touch upon and interfere with, the rules.

Wang Chao lowered his eyes, and below him lay countless rules. To him, who was in a state of transcendence at this moment, those rules seemed illusory, as if they could be broken with a touch, or ignored and transcended.

At the same time, the senses and connections from the other world instantly became clear.

The dynasty was even able to sense some general conditions of that world through the rules of the puppets.

By this time, the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty had reached the eighth year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign, and peasant uprisings in various places were becoming increasingly widespread.

Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and others had already begun to show their talents.

Yes, Zhang Xianzhong in the late Ming Dynasty seems to be exceptionally powerful, and he seems poised to fight against other rebel armies and government troops on his own.

Even when facing the elite Ming army, they won more often than they lost.

However, he was even more brutal than Zhang Xianzhong in the Celestial Empire, and he frequently engaged in killing.

Many of his fellow rebels were killed by him.

Naturally, other rebel armies also harbored resentment towards him, and even subtly excluded him from their ranks.

At the same time, Zhang Xianzhong's brutality also drew the ire of Lu Jun.

Although he did not directly confront Zhang Xianzhong, he constantly created trouble for him through various puppets and continuously relayed his messages to other rebel armies and even the Ming government army.

On several occasions, if Zhang Xianzhong had not been so powerful and possessed many strange and bloody methods, he would have been destroyed by the Ming Dynasty or the rebel army.

It was precisely because of the interference of Lu Jun and others that the strongest rebel army was chased around by various forces.

His behavior was simply too hateful.

Neither government officials nor the rebel army liked him.

As the dynasty progressed, it was able to sense the underworld of the late Ming Dynasty and the rules of puppetry.

They also began to provide feedback to the dynasty regarding various rules and mysteries.

In an instant, countless rules and mysteries began to pour into the dynasty, completing the Dao Fruit's nascent form and causing it to expand and grow even larger.

Gradually, the rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit began to approach perfection, and the dynasty's realm also began to stir, with the possibility of breaking through at any time.

In a vague way, the dynasty seemed to have grasped the spatial trajectory of heaven and earth and the temporal flow of the world.

However, it always falls short by a hair's breadth, always just out of reach.

Especially after the dynasty exited the transcendent state, it instantly distanced itself from the trajectory of spatial operation and the flow of time.

"Oh~!"

Wang Chao sighed with a sense of loss; he was still some distance from breaking through to the next level.

Perhaps after the Celestial Empire expands a few more times, or when someone creates several new paths, it will be able to completely complete the prototype of his Dao Fruit and help him break through to the next realm.

Unconsciously, Wang Chao glanced at the Nine Islands of the East China Sea and the direction of the Dali Temple.

"I wonder who will break through first."

Wang Chao's lips curled slightly as he muttered to himself.

Time flies, and three years have passed in a flash. The Tianchao New Area has been completely stabilized, and many modern facilities have been completed one by one.

Thus, the dynasty issued an edict to recall Crown Prince Wang Jingchen.

After a year of training, the Crown Prince was noticeably more adept at handling military and political affairs.

The dynasty was very pleased with this and entrusted him with more military and political affairs, allowing him to gain more experience.

Wang Chao, on the other hand, entered the immortal realm to begin his long-planned experiment.

Seated regally in the imperial palace hall, the dynasty communicates with the Heavenly Emperor through the seal.

"Om~!"

A dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth, endless rules flowed, and the spatial intensity of the palace began to rise rapidly, soon creating a huge gap with the surrounding space.

"buzzing"

"Crack!"

The enormous difference in spatial intensity caused the space around the palace to begin to distort violently, and spatial cracks suddenly appeared.

However, such intense spatial fluctuations did not achieve the effect the dynasty desired: to resonate with the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty and thus project a regular scene.

The dynasty was not discouraged by its first failure.

Like the various scientific experiments in his previous life, including Zhou Jie's deduction of rune formations and Lu Jun's evolution of puppetry, which one did not fail countless times and take several years, ten years, or even decades?
What does one failure matter to him?
In the period that followed, the dynasty began to try various methods in hopes of replicating the situation of Lu Jun's puppet house.

Unfortunately, he never succeeded.

However, his ability to control the rules with his mind and instantly enhance the strength of space had almost become instinctive.

It's almost integrated into the body and soul, or rather, into the nascent form of the Dao Fruit, forming a state of ability akin to a natural skill.

A year later, Wang Chao finally gave up. He decided to clear his head, reorganize his thoughts, and try again.

In the 4358th year of the Yellow Emperor's calendar, the 25th year of the Heavenly Dynasty, the dynasty once again issued an imperial edict, sending Crown Prince Wang Jingchen to serve as the military supervisor of the Western White Tiger Legion.

With Wang Dahu as commander, he led the Western White Tiger Legion and the Northwest Legion on a westward expedition against the Yuejibe Khanate.

This time, Crown Prince Wang Jingchen witnessed what slaughter truly meant.

Wang Dahu did not use advanced energy weapons to launch ground-clearing attacks as his army passed through.

Instead, he took the lead and personally led the army in a charge.

Furthermore, Wang Dahu was leading Wang Jingchen in the charge and battle.

At first, Wang Jingchen didn't take it seriously.

After all, he had witnessed bloodshed when he served as the supervisor of the Xuanwu Legion.

As the army charged forward, with thousands of horses galloping, Wang Jingchen, standing beside Wang Dahu, felt the momentum of the charging army and couldn't help but feel his blood boil. He was filled with heroic spirit and brandished his long sword, slaying enemy soldiers one by one.

However, as time went on, the army charged back and forth, and countless people died at their hands.

Gradually, the excitement subsided, and Wang Jingchen began to frown slightly, a sense of unease creeping into his heart. (End of Chapter)
