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

With Liu Guangde's support, Louise Bourgeois quickly built up a vast power base and eventually established a magic kingdom.

Of course, during this process, Liu Guang also made a fortune and even married Louis's daughter, Roman.

Now, upon hearing that the Celestial Empire was preparing to send princes and princesses to fight for their own fiefdoms, Louis Bourgeois immediately sought out Liu Guangde to inquire about the veracity of the matter.

"It's true, the princes and princesses of our Celestial Empire have probably already set off."

"This, this, this, what should I do?"

Louis first frowned anxiously, then turned to look at Liu Guangde.

"I've heard that the Celestial Empire's army is full of powerful warriors and its weapons are extremely advanced."

I wonder how much stronger their army is compared to ours? Are their weapons even more advanced than the guns and cannons you sold us?

"Uh"

Liu Guangde looked at his father-in-law and felt speechless. Did you have some misunderstanding about the power of the Celestial Empire?
Compared to this tiny magical kingdom, China isn't just a little stronger, it's infinitely stronger!

"Father-in-law, you know something about my identity, don't you?"

"Yes, of course I know. Guangde is currently traveling overseas to do business and experience different cultures and customs."
He was, in a sense, a traveling merchant.

"What I mean is, my father-in-law should also know about my previous identity, right?"

"Of course I know that. Guangde once mentioned that you once served in the Heavenly Dynasty's army."
That's why I wanted to ask you, just how powerful is the Celestial Empire's army? And what kind of position could you possibly hold within it?

What do you think, Father-in-law?

"Well, with the power of the Guangde Divine Realm, even if he can't become an army commander, he can certainly serve as a junior officer, right?"

Thinking of the power of the Celestial Empire, Louis downplayed Liu Guangde's position as much as possible.

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangde couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"hehe."

Upon seeing this, Louis was taken aback.

"What? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"In the Heavenly Dynasty army, I was just favored by my brothers and appreciated by my superiors, so I served as a junior officer and was then awarded the title of King of Soldiers on official business."

As he spoke, Liu Guangde couldn't help but feel a little proud.

That's a top-tier soldier; there aren't many like him in an entire army.

Unfortunately, it was in the battle that he was awarded the title of King of Soldiers that he was seriously injured. Even the powerful medical staff who were proficient in medical skills and medical supernatural abilities could not heal him, so he had to regretfully retire from the army.

Otherwise, he might very well have become a general of the fifth rank or higher.

With a sigh to himself, Liu Guangde, without waiting for Louis to ask, began to explain:

"A junior officer can probably lead about fifty men; in the Celestial Empire's army, that's only considered a low-ranking officer."
And this was the situation several years ago.

I've heard that even ordinary soldiers in the Celestial Empire's army possess supernatural abilities like mine.
So, my father-in-law should now know how powerful the Chinese army is, right?
As for the weapons my father-in-law mentioned, they were completely obsolete by the Chinese army and were handmade by civilians.

"Ah~!"

Listening to Liu Guangde's account, Louis felt dizzy. He had always known that the Celestial Empire was powerful and that their country could not compete with it.

However, he never expected that the Celestial Empire would become so powerful.

Even ordinary soldiers are comparable to him, the king.

He had asked before, but Liu Guangde had always been vague and unwilling to reveal information about the Celestial Empire's army.

As for why I said it now.
Judging from the Celestial Empire's posture, with dozens of princes and princesses going on expeditions, it's as if they're going to conquer the whole world. They have no need to hold back anymore.

On the contrary, speaking out would further undermine the confidence of these countries, making future wars easier.

"."

After a long silence, Louis's eyes finally refocused, and he looked at Liu Guangde again.

"Guangde, I feel my health is not what it used to be, so I am thinking of abdicating early and letting my daughter inherit the throne. You will then jointly manage the Magic Kingdom."

"."

Although I know that in Western countries, daughters can also inherit the throne, and even sons-in-law can become kings and govern the country.

However, upon hearing what Louis said, Liu Guangde was still somewhat speechless.

Under normal circumstances, he would be overjoyed to become the king of a country.

Even if these countries' dragon aura is far inferior to that of the Celestial Empire, it is still dragon aura, isn't it?

With the blessing of the dragon's energy and the nation's fortune, cultivation progress is naturally faster.

In the Celestial Empire, there is no such thing as being unable to cultivate when one is imbued with dragon energy; on the contrary, dragon energy can assist in cultivation.

Otherwise, the strongest people in each country in the Celestial Empire would not be their kings or emperors.

But the situation is different now.

Right now, the Celestial Empire is preparing to conquer the world and occupy the entire world.

Now that he is king, isn't he also a target of conquest?
Moreover, Louis is only in his fifties now, and with his great strength, he looks only in his thirties. You say your body is not as good as before?

However, suddenly, Liu Guangde had another thought and looked at Louis with a strange expression.

"Are you sure you want me to run the country?"

"Of course!"

Louis was quite certain.

“I only have one daughter now, and you are my daughter’s husband. This country will definitely be handed over to you.”

"Aren't you afraid I'll sell out the country?"

"Hehe, then you'll definitely get a good price, right? My daughter won't suffer if she stays with you."

"Hmm. Are you going to kick me out?" Looking at Louis, who was stroking his chin, Liu Guangde's eyes flashed, and a knowing look appeared on his face.

"Okay! I will take good care of the magic kingdom."

The following day, Louis announced his abdication, and his daughter Roman and her husband Liu Guangde succeeded to the throne and jointly ruled the Magic Kingdom.

The moment the two received the seals symbolizing the throne and sat on the throne, their connection with the dragon energy immediately increased dramatically.

On the other hand, the "old" King Louis was quite the opposite; his connection with the nation's destiny and the dragon's energy was rapidly weakening, and he could mobilize less and less power.

Of course, as the former king, his connection with the nation's destiny and the dragon's energy will not be completely severed, but will be maintained to a certain extent.

However, it will change from being equivalent to the peak of supernatural powers to being equivalent to the initial stage of supernatural powers.

As Liu Guangde and Luo Man's connection with the dragon energy deepened, endless dragon energy immediately descended, continuously merging into their bodies and then dissipating back into the heavens.

In this process, the forces of both sides continuously merge and assimilate, eventually becoming indistinguishable.

Logically speaking, when one merges and assimilates with the dragon energy containing the power of rules, most people's power will be integrated into it, and their own power attributes will all be transformed into dragon energy attributes.

However, Liu Guangde was clearly different.

Its own cultivation level is the realm of supernatural powers.

To some extent, it is at the same level as the dragon energy of countries outside of China.

Naturally, the dragon's energy cannot be easily assimilated; rather, they intermingle and assimilate with each other.

Of course, as time goes on, with the dragon's energy backed by the operation of the Wanmin Kingdom, Liu Guangde will never be able to outlast it.

Ultimately, all his power will be transformed into the power of the dragon energy of the magic kingdom.

However, as a citizen of the Celestial Empire, Liu Guangde naturally enjoys the protection of the Celestial Empire's national fortune. In addition, he also has the honor of being a top soldier in the military, so he will also be protected by the military's fortune and aura.

With the strength of the Celestial Empire's national fortune and military might, it far surpasses the dragon aura of the Magic Kingdom.

Therefore, as the two merged and assimilated, the dragon energy of the magic kingdom not only failed to assimilate Liu Guangde, but was instead assimilated by the national fortune of the Celestial Empire possessed by Liu Guangde.

Brilliant golden light spread outwards and upwards from Liu Guangde as the center.

Gradually, the divine beast of the Magic Kingdom, a long-necked, big-bellied, two-winged dragon, was being twisted in the sky above the Magic Kingdom.

The boundless dragon energy and national fortune were devoured by it, continuously flowing into the dragon pearl within its body.

About half an hour later, the divine beast of national destiny suddenly spewed out a golden dragon pearl.

The Dragon Ball floated in mid-air, radiating brilliant golden light. Its powerful force caused visible ripples to spread through the surrounding air.

"Crack!"

The next instant, a crack suddenly appeared on the Dragon Ball.

Immediately afterwards, cracking sounds continued as cracks spread across the Dragon Ball.

"boom!"

"Ang~!"

Finally, the Dragon Ball exploded with a bang, and a golden, dazzling Eastern dragon leaped out, letting out a tender yet majestic and domineering roar, announcing its arrival to the world.

"Ang~!"

After circling once in the sky, the newly born golden dragon of national destiny let out another roar, and then with a sudden inhalation, it began to swallow the shattered dragon pearl fragments and the boundless dragon energy into its belly.

As time passed, the newly born golden dragon of national destiny continued to expand, reaching hundreds of feet in an instant, and a new dragon pearl formed in its belly.

Finally, the Golden Dragon of National Fortune turned its gaze to the long-necked, big-bellied, two-winged flying dragon.

"Ang~!"

With another dragon roar, a noble, domineering, and unyielding power instantly enveloped the two-winged dragon.

"Roar~!"

The two-winged dragon let out a roar that sounded like both resentment and submission. Its body twisted and then collapsed, turning into boundless dragon energy that surged into the mouth of the Golden Dragon of National Fortune.

"Ang~!"

After absorbing all the dragon energy, the Golden Dragon of National Fortune let out another roar and its size rapidly grew to a thousand feet.

Immediately following, endless dragon energy surged forth, and the vast national fortune converged, evolving into a golden sea of ​​clouds.

Immediately, a vast golden dragon aura descended, transforming into a canopy of jewels that enveloped Liu Guangde's head, with wisps of jewels hanging down to cover him and continuously merging into his body.

Drawn by the dragon's aura, wisps of the magical kingdom's territory and the power of magical rules slowly seeped into Liu Guangde's body.

In an instant, the power of dragon energy and rules merged with Liu Guangde's essence, energy, and spirit. As they intertwined and flowed, a new celestial status evolved and formed in his consciousness space.

[King of the Magic Kingdom]

The power of the dragon's energy circulated within his body, repairing and alleviating all his ailments and hidden injuries.

The addition of the dragon's aura further boosted Liu Guangde's power level instantly.

He even broke through to the level of supernatural powers and reached the realm of immortality, and continued to grow rapidly.

Liu Guangde's power only stopped increasing when it reached the peak of the Longevity Realm.

Of course, this is the power of the nation's destiny and the dragon's aura.

Once the dragon's energy is lost, their cultivation level will plummet instantly.

However, even this was enough to make Liu Guang extremely happy.

After all, his recovery from his injuries was real.

Moreover, if he cultivates again in the future, it will be equivalent to cultivating supernatural powers through immortality.

A difference of one major realm would naturally allow his cultivation to improve rapidly, until he reached the upper limit of the dragon energy blessing and the peak of immortality.

This is why the rate of improvement in cultivation level will slow down. (End of Chapter)
