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

After conducting another command test on the group of Taoist soldiers, the high-ranking Taoist master smiled and waved his sleeve, dispelling the summons of the heavenly soldiers and taking back the handful of golden beans.

And there are definitely not a few Taoist masters like him.

Some summon heavenly soldiers, while others summon immortals and gods.
Some have even summoned the God of Light, who effortlessly conquered a country.

After confirming that it was feasible to summon the gods from the Celestial Court, many high-ranking Taoist masters immediately spread the art of summoning gods.

It should be understood that among the various Daoist kingdoms, let alone the Qi Refining realm equivalent to that of the common people in the Celestial Empire, even among the Qi Refining realm of their own countries, very few can reach it.

They were only slightly stronger than before because of the ascension of heaven and earth.

Without the conditions for cultivation, they can still only be considered ordinary people.

The heavenly soldiers summoned by ordinary means, though only slightly stronger than them, could greatly liberate their labor force.

If he wants to enjoy himself, he can simply let the heavenly soldiers he summons do the work, and he only needs to be in charge of giving orders.

If you want to earn more, you can invite a celestial soldier down. Even if it doesn't double the amount, it can still increase it by 50%, 60%, or 70% without any problem.

Of course, if this were in a typical country, capitalists would definitely drive down prices drastically, and they still wouldn't make much money.

Even if they managed to summon a celestial soldier, they would still only be able to endure a life of torment.

However, given the laws of the Celestial Empire, these Daoist kingdoms, which already intended to join the Celestial Empire, naturally could not suppress labor costs too much.

After realizing the benefits of summoning heavenly soldiers, the people immediately erupted with extraordinary enthusiasm.

The incantation to invoke the gods quickly spread throughout many Taoist countries in the West, and even reached other countries.

Moreover, the upper and lower limits of invoking gods are extremely high, making it suitable for all social classes.

Ordinary people could use common beans, or even paper figures and paper paintings, as carriers.

It can only summon celestial soldiers who are slightly stronger than ordinary people, and they can only exist for about half an hour.

This is because the energy of heaven and earth is abundant now, so we don't need to consume too much.

Those slightly stronger high-level experts, however, were able to use jade, gold, and silver as carriers to summon celestial generals, and even some immortals and gods with titles.

Not only are they stronger, but they can all at least reach the peak of Qi Refining, or even the realm of supernatural powers.

This is comparable to the strongest king of a country in the past; he can be described as an invincible being.

Furthermore, they can even extend the existence of these beings through the spirituality and fortune gathered by their subordinates, allowing them to exist for a long time as bodyguards and protectors.

However, the West is only so big. Countless Taoist masters, princes and princesses, and ordinary people poured in, and their expansion quickly reached its limit.

It has vaguely occupied one-tenth of Europe.

The remaining nine floors are occupied by princes and princesses, accounting for 50% of the total.

Another 40% is occupied by individuals or forces in the private sector.

Next, it's up to these civilian forces to choose whether or not to join the Celestial Empire.

If someone takes a liking to a particular prince or princess, or has some ideas about autonomy, they will naturally join that prince or princess, just like the Daoist sect.

If they don't have any particular ideas, they will basically just join the Celestial Empire.

Thus, in a very short time, the fate of the Celestial Empire encompassed Europe.

While the Taoist sect and various powerful individuals from the Celestial Empire were developing rapidly in Europe, their development and territorial expansion in other regions were not lagging behind.

Although Africa is relatively desolate and sparsely populated, a large number of people from the Celestial Empire still flocked there, seizing land, offering it as tribute, and seeking titles and rewards in return.

In the Americas, large numbers of people also flocked in, and princes and princesses arrived.

Those Confucian and Taoist scholars also gained a firm foothold.

They first arrived with overwhelming force, manifesting themselves as deities to forcefully suppress and subdue countless natives. Then, they began to preach and teach the local natives, embodying their teachings.

Because of the initial manifestations of divine intervention, the relatively simple-minded indigenous people did not feel any aversion to what they were taught, but instead eagerly absorbed the knowledge of Confucianism and Taoism.

In addition, many Confucian and Taoist scholars used their supernatural powers of teaching and imparting knowledge to subtly influence their consciousness and minds, enabling them to learn extremely quickly.

At least in terms of simply memorizing knowledge, their learning speed is nothing short of genius.

Even if you can't remember everything you see or hear, you can still memorize about 70-80% of what the teacher says in a day. After reviewing it, you can remember it firmly after listening to the explanation again the next day.

In this way, in just ten days or half a month, they can learn to read and write, and even memorize some of the Four Books and Five Classics.

After a month or two, they were already able to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics.

At this point, they would be sent out by Confucian and Taoist scholars to spread their knowledge to others.

Even if they are not as good as them, they can still have some effect and allow them to practice Confucian and Taoist culture.

As the saying goes, "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."

Meanwhile, they themselves once again occupied other regions.

In this way, they also established a nation belonging to Confucianism and Taoism, with the vast and mighty Confucian and Taoist culture filling the world, and everyone knowing etiquette and observing moral principles, just like the legendary land of gentlemen.

In addition, with abundant resources and plentiful food, there is no need to worry about hunger.

At first glance, it truly resembled the legendary utopian society.

The only downside is that their fighting strength is too weak.

If foreign enemies invade and there are no Confucian and Taoist scholars to protect it, all this prosperity is just superficial and will collapse in an instant.

Logically speaking, in today's world, Confucian and Taoist scholars are not weak and frail. In this "land of gentlemen" who know propriety and uphold integrity, they should not be so pathetic.

The reason this happened is mainly because they had too little time.

The people of this "land of gentlemen" were basically forced to swallow a lot of knowledge, which they memorized in a haphazard way, but they did not understand its deeper meaning.

They simply know they need to do it, and they can explain why they should do it.

However, they were merely following the instructions of their divine teacher, reciting the book's contents verbatim to explain the reasons, rather than acting from their own hearts.

Only through the test of time can they truly gain a deep understanding.

Even their descendants need to grow up in this environment and be constantly immersed in this rich Confucian and Taoist cultural atmosphere.

Only then can one comprehend the underlying concepts, grasp the true meaning of Confucianism and Taoism, and even, with the help of scholars and literati, solidify the divine status belonging to Confucianism and Taoism.

Of course, before joining the Celestial Empire, they could only comprehend the illusory divine status.

However, this is already quite remarkable.

Unfortunately, all of this takes time.

Fortunately, even after joining the Celestial Empire, they still had twenty years to cultivate the seeds of Confucian and Taoist scholars.

If a prince is added, this timeframe will be extended further.

As for the princess, they never even considered it.

In the eyes of these scholars and literati who still harbor a sliver of nostalgia for the past.

In this world, countries and families should follow ancient etiquette as the right path.

The most important aspect is the relationship between ruler and subject, with men being superior to women.
Only men can be rulers, while women can only be empresses, staying at home to support their husbands and raise their children.

Therefore, they naturally wouldn't choose the princess. (End of Chapter)
