All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

Qin Shi Huang even sent Meng Tian, ​​the general guarding the pass, to personally go to the border of Tu'an to welcome Consort Li, which shows how much Qin Shi Huang valued her.

After learning that Yu Shu was going to become Qin Shi Huang's concubine, Yi Xiaochuan was in a daze and became anxious, feeling that he would never be happy again.

Despite her own distress, Yu Shu still decided to travel to Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty.

There was no way around it; she was a princess of the Tu'an Kingdom, and this was a mission she couldn't escape.

If she doesn't go, the fall of Tu'an Kingdom is just a matter of minutes. After all, the man who decides her fate is named Ying Zheng.

Yi Xiaochuan, facing the prospect of marrying Qin Shi Huang to the woman he loves, is filled with inner pain and turmoil, causing him considerable distress during this period.

In fact, besides Yi Xiaochuan, there was another man in Tu'an Kingdom who felt no less, and perhaps even more, anger than Yi Xiaochuan as Yu Shu was about to leave for the Qin Dynasty.

That man was General Jin, a general of Tu'an Kingdom. General Jin had practically watched Yu Shu grow up, and such a beauty had become a cherished possession in his heart.

He had thought countless times of proposing to the king that he marry the princess to him, but he never spoke up until he learned that the king had given Yu Shu to Qin Shi Huang. General Jin's pain and anger far exceeded that of Yi Xiaochuan.

Yi Xiaochuan suppressed his anger, but General Jin was determined to unleash it.

He had already planned that once Princess Yushu arrived at the border and joined up with the Qin army, he would wipe out all the Qin soldiers, snatch the princess back, and then propose marriage to the king.

Men are quick to act. Taking advantage of the month, General Jin gathered hundreds of his confidants to prepare for the plan. Later, after some thought, he also brought Yi Xiaochuan into the picture.

After much hesitation and internal struggle, Yi Xiaochuan still chose to join the operation. He had no choice; he simply didn't want to watch Yu Shu disappear from his side.

A beauty like Yu Shu would attract any man's heart. In this era, perhaps only a man like Qin Shi Huang could protect a beauty like Yu Shu.

Just as General Jin and Yi Xiaochuan were planning something big, Han Chunming, along with Sanwanzi and the others, had already headed to Tuwan Kingdom.

Sanwanzi brought over 2,200 cavalrymen, plus 800 cavalrymen from the Dragon Clan tribe, making a total of 3,000 cavalrymen heading to Tuwan Kingdom. In addition, there were 3,000 infantrymen, making a total of 6,000 troops.

The reason Han Chunming waited almost half a month before setting off was because he had spent those half a month brainwashing Sanwanzi and the cavalry.

After getting the three girls under control that night, he began to learn about the internal workings of the Earth Maru Kingdom, as well as its customs and traditions.

He soon learned that Tuwan Kingdom was more of a religious tribe than a country.

They worship a god called the Heavenly God, and this belief has permeated every aspect of their lives.

Although Sanmaru is the ruler of a country, within the country he is merely a servant of the so-called gods.

In China, Sanmaru implemented a brutal rule, using faith as a tool to oppress all citizens.

After learning this information, Han Chunming carefully studied what exactly the gods they worshipped were.

In their legends, their gods possess immense strength, are invulnerable to swords and spears, can ascend to the heavens and descend to the earth, and can breathe fire...

Han Chunming felt something was off; wasn't this just a combination of the Calabash Brothers?

Okay, now that he knew what the other party's god was, Han Chunming began to brainwash them in a targeted way.

He gathered all two thousand cavalrymen together and, using their traditional sacrificial methods, erected an altar to begin the ritual.

The ritual must be present so that when they see the familiar sacrificial scene, they will feel an instinctive sense of awe.

Immediately, chanting groups appeared around him. Amidst the chanting of a group of senior monks, Han Chunming sat in the middle of the altar, his hands forming mudras, coldly watching the more than two thousand people below.

After the atmosphere team was ready, Han Chunming on stage grabbed a handful of powder with his left hand, threw it into the air, and then spat out something, which caused a ball of flame to shoot into the sky.

This scene startled everyone in the audience, who all knelt down in worship. The chanting group below the stage raised their voices even louder, and the atmosphere reached its climax.

After everyone had buried their heads in their crotches and kowtowed repeatedly, Han Chunming then roared at them in the most authoritative voice.

"You lost because you offended the gods, and I am the reincarnation of the gods!"

Simply breathing fire wasn't enough to convince everyone, so Han Chunming then performed feats such as lifting 5,000 jin (2,500 kg), splitting a boulder with a knife, and demonstrating invulnerability to swords and spears.

Moreover, all of Han Chunming's wounds miraculously healed the next day. This miracle made even some stubborn people start to have doubts.

After a week of this brainwashing, the two thousand-plus cavalrymen became completely loyal to Han Chunming.

In order to solidify his divine status, Han Chunming performed an even more spectacular miracle in the lake below Tianshan City on the tenth day.

On that day, Han Chunming ordered all 100,000 people of Tianshan City to come to the lakeside to watch the ceremony, including Sanwanzi and the more than 2,000 Tuwan cavalry.

Han Chunming slowly walked into the lake in front of them.

Once he entered the water, he was gone. The crowd stared blankly at the calm lake. Not long after, a towering column of water suddenly shot up from the center of the lake, and in the center of the column was Han Chunming's figure.

Han Chunming was seen gripping a huge dragon tightly with both arms. The dragon was seven or eight meters long, and its scales emitted a faint black light. People on the shore gasped in surprise.

Immediately afterwards, Han Chunming and the dragon's figures fell into the lake. A huge wave then surged up in the center of the lake. After a while, the wave finally disappeared completely, and Han Chunming's figure slowly emerged from the lake.

He dragged the dragon's corpse to the shore, threw the seven- or eight-meter-long, thousand-pound dragon carcass onto the bank, and amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of everyone, Han Chunming chopped off the dragon's head.

After the head was severed, everyone was astonished to discover that a huge stone tablet was exposed inside.

The stone tablet was carved with the figure of a man. Everyone crowded forward to take a look, and the man was none other than Han Chunming.

On the stone tablet, Han Chunming stands on the corpse of a giant dragon, breathing fire, while a demon in the sky is frightened and flees far away.

After seeing the contents of the stone tablet, everyone looked at Han Chunming with completely different eyes. Not to mention the more than two thousand cavalrymen who had faith, even the more than one hundred thousand dragon clan people all knelt down to worship.

In this way, the god worshipped by the Tuwan Kingdom became the worship of the Dragon Clan tribe, and subtly changed everyone's beliefs.

This "miracle" made Han Chunming a god, and even Sanwanzi became completely respectful to him. The fanaticism in the eyes of his more than two thousand cavalrymen made everyone feel afraid.

Without a doubt, if Han Chunming were to order them to cut down Sanwanzi now, those people wouldn't hesitate for a second.

This is the power of faith!

The miracles were obviously fake, but Han Chunming's superhuman strength was real. In this era, being a charlatan was the perfect identity for him.

A few months ago, some residents of Tianshan City reported that there were man-eating monsters in the lake.

This secluded lake has remained quietly here for thousands, even tens of thousands of years, so it's not surprising that it harbors giant animals.

Last month, Han Chunming was also greatly surprised when he discovered the seven- or eight-meter-long giant python after diving to the bottom of the lake.

Han Chunming fought the giant python, but at the crucial moment, the beast found an opportunity to escape.

After that incident, the giant python stopped eating people. Later, due to other commitments, Han Chunming put the matter aside.

A few days ago, Han Chunming suddenly thought of that giant python. Wasn't this the best miracle?

So Han Chunming, feeling quite vain, carved a stone tablet and placed it at the bottom of the lake. He then chose an opportune moment to perform a miracle, killing the giant python at the bottom of the lake.

Finally, stuff the stone tablet into the other person's mouth while they are still alive, and then stage a scene of a dragon emerging from the water. It would be best to angrily kill the dragon and perform a miracle!

This miraculous performance was extremely successful, not only turning the more than two thousand cavalrymen into die-hard fans, but also causing the hundreds of thousands of people in Tianshan City to begin worshipping Han Chunming as a god.

Becoming a charlatan was not Han Chunming's original intention, after all, he had completed nine years of compulsory education.

However, after the incident with the three dumplings, Han Chunming has been pondering deeply these past few days how he can become a regional overlord as quickly as possible in this era, and even make everyone obey and respect him.

Ultimately, the case of Sanwanzi gave him inspiration. Only the unknown can make everyone awe and submit to him, and isn't the power that transcends ordinary people within him the best tool?

Over the past year, he has built two small cities, Tianshan City and Jushi City. Although they only have a population of a few hundred thousand, Han Chunming is already somewhat exhausted.

He had to manage everything, from military affairs to daily life to industry. Although Han Chunming had high prestige, not everyone was willing to submit to him.

After all, the hundreds of thousands of people under his command were formed by the fusion of several tribes, and friction between the tribes often occurred.

He sometimes wonders if he can still manage millions or tens of millions of people under his command in the future.

The answer is no. He is not a god and cannot truly govern a country. He found inspiration in how to successfully integrate into this era and become the protagonist of this era during the campaign against Sanwanzi.

In this era, faith is prevalent, and people have reverence for all things in heaven and earth, except for humanity and fellow human beings. If that's the case, why bother creating a god?

If one is a god, then one's own words are ironclad laws. If one is a god, then conquering a tribe, a country, or even a nation seems reasonable, because a god is omnipotent.

After having this idea, Han Chunming devised this miracle, and finally achieved godhood by slaying the dragon!

Looking at the hundreds of thousands of people kneeling in worship on both sides of the lake, Han Chunming at that moment truly believed, with a tiny bit of conviction, that he was a god!

This feeling is fucking awesome!

After becoming a god, Han Chunming felt relaxed and at ease managing these people again. No matter what he instructed them to do, no one objected and they all completed the task conscientiously, even exceeding expectations.

Even his two hundred students now seem to have a sacred light in their eyes. They are now studying Han Chunming's knowledge with great seriousness, as if everything Han Chunming says is correct.

While the feeling was wonderful, Han Chunming also discovered a serious problem: something in the eyes of these people seemed to have disappeared.

That is the spirit of getting to the bottom of things. In the past, these young boys and girls had extremely rich curiosity. At their age, they suddenly learned a lot of knowledge that they could not understand, so they naturally wanted to get to the bottom of things and find the truth of the knowledge.

However, ever since Han Chunming became a god, these people seem to have lost their curiosity. They accept all the knowledge Han Chunming explains, but never ask any questions.

This might have been the student teachers would have loved most in later generations, but Han Chunming realized the seriousness of the situation: knowledge without curiosity can never progress.

Han Chunming also tried to rekindle their curiosity, but when they asked why ordinary people couldn't lift a boulder weighing thousands of kilograms, Han Chunming was speechless.

He couldn't explain it to these students because he didn't know himself. The only answer he could give was that he was a god, because only a god could possess powers that ordinary people didn't have.

Perhaps there is a truth to this: what you gain, you will lose.

Han Chunming used charlatan tactics to make everyone submit to him, but in doing so, he caused everyone to lose a certain kind of creativity.

Han Chunming didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse.

Perhaps, at least for him right now, none of this is a bad thing.

When he organized an army of six thousand men to go to the Kingdom of Tsuchimaru, under the arrangement of Sanmaru and surrounded by thousands of loyal followers, he encountered almost no resistance and completely subjugated the country.

From that day on, the Tuwan Kingdom was officially incorporated into the Dragon Clan tribe. With the possession of a country, Han Chunming's ambition had finally taken its first step.

In less than a year, he had more than 500,000 followers and successfully completed the miracle of a snake swallowing an elephant.

Today, the population of Tuwan Kingdom is around 420,000, and the Dragon Clan tribe has around 130,000, totaling 550,000 people.

With such a large territory and population, it is clearly no longer appropriate for the Dragon Clan to exist as a tribe. Therefore, Han Chunming plans to establish a new country.

The previous name, Tuwan Kingdom, was clearly no longer suitable; it sounded too awful.

Han Chunming intends to establish a theocratic state, with faith above and the state below.

He will hold both positions, being both the religious leader and the king. When he no longer wishes to be king, he can pass the throne to his descendants.

I don't know if I'll have any children in the future. Thinking about it, I'm already over sixty. Now that my body is getting stronger and stronger, I almost forgot about it.

He wasn't sure if there would be any other changes after taking the elixir of immortality; he'd deal with the future later.

Perhaps one day in the future, this country will separate from its religion, or it may fall apart. No one can say for sure. There is no eternal country, nor is there an eternal faith, unless there is a true God.

Han Chunming didn't intend to keep the name "Cult of the Heavenly Gods." Since he was a god, why not change it to something easier to pronounce?

How about we call it the Divine Dragon Cult?

The name suddenly reminded Han Chunming of Wei Xiaobao, but he decided against it.
