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

When Sun Chuanting was merging with himself, Lu Xiang-sheng also came to his own grave.

During this process, he did not disturb his family in the world.

They thought he was dead, so let him be dead.

Moreover, he was not originally from this world, and he also had his own family in another world.

His best option now is to leave each other alone.

Standing before his own grave, sensing the faint connection between himself and the tomb, and reflecting on what Zhu Cilang had said earlier, Lu Xiang-sheng's expression was filled with complex emotions.

Eighty days after his death in battle, his body was not allowed to be laid to rest, and for a long time he did not receive recognition from the imperial court.

Although Yang Sichang was the main culprit, Emperor Chongzhen's responsibility is equally undeniable.

To be honest, he felt sorry for Lu Xiang-sheng in this world.

Was such a court truly worth Lu Xiang-sheng's death in battle?
Looking back on what I saw along the way, natural disasters and man-made calamities, people suffering, bones exposed in the wilderness, and no rooster crowing for miles.

Consider the situation in China, where material resources are extremely abundant, and there is absolutely no chance of anyone starving to death.

Daily necessities, means of transportation, and so on have all reached their peak of development. Everyone cultivates themselves and everyone becomes extraordinary. It can be described as a true utopian and prosperous world, a celestial dynasty in the heavens.

Comparing the two, he suddenly felt relieved. The destruction of the Ming Dynasty by the Celestial Empire might truly be the will of Heaven and the inevitable course of events.

But destiny is not ordained by Heaven, but by the hearts of men.

If he had to choose now, he would probably choose the Celestial Army.

It's just that it's too late.

Lu Xiang-sheng sighed and shook his head.

No, it's not too late.

Isn't he helping the people of this world now, so that they can also bask in the glory of the Celestial Empire?
Unfortunately.
Lu Xiang Sheng looked at his somewhat illusory figure. Although he could contribute some effort, it seemed he couldn't be of much help.

but
Looking at his own grave and the faint sense of presence within it, Lu Xiang-sheng suddenly had an idea.

Could he use his own corpse as his means of existence in this world?
Once the thought took hold, he was unable to shake it off his mind.

Perhaps we could give it a try?

"Hoo~!"

Finally, Lu Xiang-sheng took a deep breath, his body suddenly swayed, and he rushed towards the cemetery in an instant.

"Ah~!"

A villager from Zhangzhu Town, who had gotten up early to work in the fields, saw the figure suddenly rush towards the grave and disappear from afar. He was so frightened that he screamed in terror, dropped his farm tools, and ran towards the town in a panic.

At this moment, Lu Xiang-sheng had already rushed into the grave.

"Huh? Was someone there just now?"

Unconsciously, Lu Xiang-sheng listened attentively.

However, the villagers had already run far away, and he was in the grave, so he did not hear their footsteps.

After finding that there was no movement, Lu Xiang-sheng shook his head and stopped thinking about it, assuming that it was just an illusion, and turned to look at the skeleton in front of him.

Upon seeing the skeleton before him, that connection was instantly amplified to the extreme; he seemed to be able to sense everything about the skeleton.

"Ha, him."

Lu Xiang-sheng chuckled and recited the words, then his figure blurred again as he lunged at the skeleton before him, instantly merging into it.

"boom!"

In an instant, the skeleton began to glow, and the surrounding energy of heaven and earth, as well as the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty, began to rapidly converge. The power of the rules vibrated and began to linger around the skeleton.

Gradually, the bones, which had become somewhat dry and calcified, began to regain their luster and even become moist, as the bone marrow regenerated.

Then, the fascia, flesh, internal organs, and so on began to grow and reappear one by one.

The breath of life reappeared in Lu Xiang-sheng's body.

"Bang, bang"

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Xiang-sheng's body was fully healed, and his heart began to beat regularly again.

The next instant, Lu Xiang-sheng suddenly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.

"Is this what they mean by merging with me? It's truly wondrous."

Moreover, because of his experience of being reborn from the dead, Lu Xiang-sheng had vaguely grasped some of the mysteries of life and death, and had some understanding of the immortal realm.

He felt that if he returned to the Celestial Empire now, he would be able to break through to the Immortal Realm in the shortest possible time.

"Different worlds do indeed contain extraordinary opportunities."

Moreover, this fusion of self and other seems to be even more thorough, with the true self taking precedence, and even the current body of the other self has become a part of the mind and consciousness.

With a thought, Lu Xiang-sheng's body began to emit a shimmering glow, eventually transforming into a spiritual energy form that suddenly passed through the coffin and tomb, disappearing into the sky towards the capital city of Shuntian Prefecture.

Having just received the news, Lu Xiangjin and Lu Xiangguan, along with many other well-meaning people who rushed to the scene, were all stunned when they saw the light that suddenly burst out of Lu Xiangsheng's tomb and then soar into the sky.

After a long while, the crowd began to discuss it in an uproar.

"Did you see that? Did you see that? Didn't a ray of light fly away from Lu Gong's tomb?"

"I saw it, I saw it, I saw it!"

I saw it too.

"This must be because Lord Lu was loyal and righteous in his lifetime, died on the battlefield, and Heaven took pity on him, which is why he was able to become an immortal and ascend to heaven, right?"

"That's right, that's right, Lord Lu must have become an immortal."

"It's a pity that Lord Lu didn't stop to meet with us."
Otherwise, perhaps we can pray to the True Immortal for protection.”

"Hey, there's a difference between immortals and mortals. If Lord Lu were an immortal, how could he so easily reveal himself?"
Even if they were to meet someone, it would surely be through a dream from their family.

As they discussed it, everyone couldn't help but look at the two brothers, Lu Xiangjin and Lu Xiangguan.

"Hmm."

The Lu brothers hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to answer.

After all, they hadn't received a dream from Lu Xiang-sheng. Well, you can't say that. If you think about it carefully and hard, it seems, it's possible, that they really did dream about their elder brother, Lu Xiang-sheng.

However, due to the passage of time and the hazy details, they no longer remember the specifics of their dreams.

However, before they could even answer...

After seeing the expressions on the two people's faces, the people around them understood and spoke up.

"I know, I know, this kind of thing definitely can't be said out loud."

"Yes, yes, there is a difference between immortals and mortals, how can such rumors be spread?"

"Uh"

The Lu brothers opened their mouths, looked at each other, and finally kept their mouths shut.

Hmm, what if my older brother really did appear in my dream, but just didn't?
As a result, none of them would admit that they had never dreamed of their elder brother.

Otherwise, wouldn't that mean his elder brother looks down on him?
After discussing for a while, the group went together to Lu Xiang-sheng's tomb.

Looking at the perfectly intact grave before them, the group exchanged bewildered glances.

Who knows what's inside the tomb?
Everyone says that Lu Xiangsheng ascended to heaven and became an immortal, but what if he didn't?
Are they going to dig up the grave to check if Lu Xiang-sheng's body is still there?

Isn't this a bit disrespectful to Lord Lu?
Suddenly, someone hesitated before speaking:
"Now that Lord Lu has become an immortal, shouldn't we choose an even better feng shui site for him?"

"Hmm~?"

The group exchanged glances and immediately nodded in agreement.

"That's only right. Now that Lord Lu has ascended to immortality, it's necessary to choose a new auspicious burial site."

In the end, the two brothers, Lu Xiangjin and Lu Xiangjin, discussed it and, being curious about the situation in their elder brother's tomb, decided to find an auspicious burial site to relocate the grave.

After all, if their elder brother really becomes an immortal, their family will prosper.

Because of their urgency, they selected an auspicious burial site and began the exhumation and reburial process in just three days.

Originally, the Lu brothers, Xiangjin and Lu Xiangjin, intended to do it privately.

However, with so many people present, they simply couldn't keep the news under wraps.

The news spread that very day, causing an immediate sensation and even alarming the magistrate of Yixing County.

Left with no other choice, they could only choose an auspicious day three days later to exhume and rebury the coffin in full view of everyone.

On the day the graves were moved, thousands of people gathered to watch.

When the coffin was opened, everyone around looked in. Even those on the outer perimeter who couldn't see inside still tiptoed to look and asked about the situation ahead.

"How is it? How is it? Are there still corpses inside?"

The magistrate of Yixing County, Lu Xiangjin, Lu Xiangguan, and other respected elders from the surrounding area all peered out to watch.

Upon seeing this, everyone was instantly startled, but then overjoyed.

Because the coffin was completely empty, containing nothing but some burial goods and some decaying clothing.

As for Lu Xiang-sheng's body and remains, there was not a trace of them.

"This, this, this"

No, there really aren't any left.

"Lu Gong's corpse"
No, no, no, Lu Gong's remains have disappeared.

Gradually, those on the outside also learned about the situation inside the coffin.

"No!
The coffin no longer contained Lu Gong's remains, only some decayed clothing.

"Has this Lord Lu truly become an immortal?"

"Hahaha, I told you long ago that Lord Lu had become an immortal, but you didn't believe me."

Immediately, the surrounding crowd erupted in an uproar, excitedly discussing the matter.

At the same time, many people immediately knelt down and prayed for Lu Xiang Sheng's blessing.

"May the gods and immortals protect us, may Lord Lu protect us."

Finally, after the relocation of the graves was completed, everyone worked together to build the Lu Gong Temple, also known as the Temple of the Loyal and Martial General.

For a time, the incense offerings were incredibly abundant.

Upon returning to the imperial palace in Shuntian Prefecture, Lu Xiang-sheng was both amused and exasperated upon receiving this news.

However, something happened shortly afterward that left him unsure whether to be happy or sad.

A vast amount of spiritual power, imbued with the will and sentiments of the people, converged and actually condensed and evolved into a divine being.

[The Loyal and Martial General, Manifesting Divine Might]

In an instant, a wisp of his mind was involuntarily drawn in and enveloped by the power of the Loyal and Martial Manifestation Divine Might General's position. In a flash, it traversed hundreds of miles, manifested a projection of the position, and instantly merged into the statue of the Loyal and Martial Manifestation Divine Might General.

In an instant, a ray of light suddenly burst forth, illuminating the Temple of the Loyal and Mighty General, where the radiance of the sun shone brightly.

Naturally, the temple displayed supernatural phenomena, causing another sensation, with countless people bowing and offering sacrifices.

In the corresponding celestial realm, a palace, similar to the temples of the outside world but far more magnificent and grand, quietly manifested and formed.

Lu Xiang-sheng's wisp of consciousness instantly drew upon the hearts and minds of the people, transforming into spiritual power that entered the celestial realm and resided in the palace, its power reflecting in the real-world temple.

All the prayers offered by everyone within will be reflected back to Lu Xiang's spirit as he ascends to the celestial realm.

Most things will be mechanically processed according to Lu Xiang-sheng's settings with the help of the positional projection. Some things that cannot be processed will be fed back to Lu Xiang-sheng himself for him to make a decision.

Feeling his strange state, Lu Xiang-sheng's expression changed, and his joy was evident.

Lu Xiang-sheng was no stranger to immortals and gods.

In the Celestial Empire, the City Gods and Earth Gods are truly guarded by deities who suppress evil spirits and imprison ghosts.

Unexpectedly, this living person was given a divine status due to the worship of many people, and became a special deity.

I wonder what kind of impact it would have if he returned to the Celestial Empire.

Will His Majesty the current dynasty, and the government, punish him? Or perhaps strip him of his divine status? (End of Chapter)
