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

Looking at the Holy Light God above, Shouxuzi had a thought and began to control him, transferring him towards the Celestial Court space.

However, just as the Holy Light God took a step forward, preparing to enter the Celestial Court space, he suddenly felt a tremendous pulling force that stopped him in his tracks.

It seemed as if countless threads bound and dragged him tightly around his body.

Without thinking, Shouxuzi frowned.

Not yet?

Then, he manipulated the body of the Holy Light God and struggled forward slightly.

It was indeed able to move forward somewhat, and even the Paradise Island in the Celestial Court space exerted a slight pulling force on it.

But in the end, he was unable to enter it.

Ultimately, the Holy Light God is a variant of the national fortune totem, while the Celestial Court Space is merely a space within the Celestial Realm, a small space that depends on and is enveloped by the national fortune of the Celestial Dynasty.

Even if the Celestial Empire's national fortune is stronger, and the Immortal and Underworld realms are elevated to a certain level, they can at most gather the will of all beings directed towards them, as well as a portion of the national fortune.

However, the national destiny totem is somewhat special, as it is a unified whole and has an extremely close connection with the territory and people of this country.

You can extract a portion of His power, or you can devour it directly.

However, there is absolutely no way to transfer it intact as a whole.

Even now, despite the Papal States being reorganized and submitting to Shouxuzi, things remain as they are today.

However, this land and the will of all people will still firmly bind God here.

At most, the power of God and the Holy Light can be continuously drawn into the Celestial Court space.

The consequence was that the Papal States' national fortunes declined and its dragon energy weakened.

Yes, the holy light that envelops the Papal States will gradually become extremely thin, and God will also continue to weaken.

Now, the fate of the nation and the rules governing its fate have become deeply ingrained in the rules of heaven and earth.

The fate of a nation is no longer merely a spiritual force that can influence people's hearts and subtly protect the emperor.

The nation's current destiny truly has the power to influence all things in the universe.

The energy of heaven and earth is scarce, and natural disasters are frequent; these are all situations that could occur at any time after a nation's fortunes decline.
Furthermore, without the powerful national fortune that represents positive forces to suppress and counteract them, people's distracting thoughts and negative emotions will inevitably surge forth.

Under the influence of these negative emotional forces, people's hearts will inevitably tend towards darkness and irritability.

In that case, man-made disaster is not far off.

Under the threat of natural disasters and man-made calamities, this country is not far from its demise.

Feeling the force pulling at God, Shouxuzi couldn't help but feel caught in a dilemma.

This is his chance to achieve enlightenment, and he is unwilling to give it up under any circumstances.

However, he had no way to store it in the Celestial Court space.

Are we really just going to give up like this?
After much deliberation, Shouxuzi finally gritted his teeth and contacted his apprentice, Chen Zhengyang, through his wristwatch.

Since he has no other options, he can only look for a solution that has no certain outcome and is not a solution at all.

That is, to bring the Papal States under the control of the Celestial Empire.

Perhaps when the time comes, after the Golden Dragon of National Fortune swallows God, it will be able to return a portion of God's authority and power to him, allowing him to re-condense and evolve God?

On the other side, Chen Zhengyang is now a second-rank military commander.

After receiving his master's message, he immediately relayed it to the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion.

The conferment of a title of nobility was a joint effort by both parties.

The Imperial Clan Court was responsible for the appointment and conferment of titles on the children of the royal family, while the Ministry of Rites was responsible for the appointment and conferment of titles on ministers.

The rank of a general carries considerable weight.

All the approval procedures were quickly completed.

As for whether this would violate relevant regulations.

That's naturally not the case. Everything follows the proper procedures, just moved a little ahead and a bit faster. In this newly established nation, where the laws and regulations hang high overhead yet permeate every aspect of life and affect one's contribution points, promotion, and even the speed of cultivation advancement, no official dares to violate the rules or regulations for the time being.

After all the procedures were completed, Shouxuzi was granted the title of Earl, and the Papal States were incorporated into the Celestial Empire.

With a roar, a golden dragon rose from the imperial edict, instantly coiled around God, and swallowed him whole.

Seeing this, Shouxuzi felt a pang of anxiety, but could only wait quietly.

However, he was able to calm down and wait.

However, the fanatical believers in the Papal States who saw this could not remain calm. They immediately rose to their feet in anger, causing an uproar.

Even the high-ranking clergy members of the church all wore expressions of anger and resentment.

Miguel's expression darkened slightly, a look of sorrow and despair appearing in his eyes.

They shouldn't have trusted this heretic, this invader.

In an instant, endless negative spiritual power rose from the bodies of millions of people in the Papal States.

The moment it came into contact with the holy light from the outside world, it suddenly transformed into a raging inferno that burned everything, instantly sweeping across the heavens and the earth.

In the next instant, the entire world was engulfed by white holy flames.

Like a white sea of ​​fire, the waves of fire surged and crashed towards the church, one higher than the next.

Upon seeing this, Shouxuzi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

In this world of extraordinary manifestations, of human hearts and power, the rage unleashed by the people of a nation is something that no ordinary strongman can withstand.

If this power were to surge into the Celestial Court space, it would likely burn and contaminate it instantly.

"Oh~!"

Shouxuzi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

His Celestial Court space sounds incredibly grand and impressive, and the strength of the powerful immortals and gods within it would be considered above average even within the Celestial Empire.

However, since they are ultimately a condensation of willpower and spirituality, they have little resistance to the impact and contamination of spiritual power.

Let alone the anger of millions of people in a country as it is now.

Even the faith and willpower of countless people, his celestial court space, and those countless powerful immortals and gods could not withstand the pollution and distortion within.

Ultimately, the immortals and gods in its celestial realm are completely different from the immortals and gods in legends.

They did not achieve their status through self-cultivation, nor were they born divine; they were created by humans.

Naturally, they have little power to resist the human spirit.

Unless, like the people of the Celestial Empire, they possess a being with a celestial status as their core support.

In this way, the power of faith and aspiration can be transformed and purified.

Like the gods bestowed by the Celestial Empire.

In the beginning, those city gods and local deities all had a large number of worshippers and incense burners.

To be honest, the number of believers in each of the city gods and local deities is no less than that in the Papal States.

However, the City God and the Land God, who have received such faith and vows, have never been known to have been corrupted or distorted.

And isn't the reason precisely because they also possess the status of a celestial being?

As he thought about this, Shouxuzi couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, and he gained a new understanding of the path he was about to take.

However, he is not allowed to think about this idea in depth right now; he can only put it aside for later.

Looking at the overwhelming golden dragon of national destiny rushing towards the church and the sky, like the angry holy fire charging towards him, Shouxuzi felt extremely nervous.

This is the true anger of an entire nation.

Even he felt a great threat. (End of Chapter)
