I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

Chapter 385



Lin Beifan immediately issued an order for expansion.

As the supreme ruler of the Celestial Empire, his commands were carried out to the letter, with troops quickly mustered and ready for war at any moment.

The news of this development shocked the entire world.

“What’s going on with Great Xia? Their entire army is mobilizing!”

“Could it be they’re preparing for war? Who would they fight? Who in the world would dare to offend Great Xia?”

“Maybe they’re planning to expand their territory again!”

“Their land is already so vast, isn’t it enough?”

Everyone closely monitored the movements of Great Xia’s military.

At this time, the most panicked were the neighboring countries of Great Xia, as they were no match for Great Xia at all.

The local royalty and officials immediately sent out envoys to gather intelligence.

Upon learning that they were the targets of Great Xia, they quickly packed their belongings and fled without any thought of resistance or delay.

Meanwhile, the common people in these regions celebrated and welcomed the troops of Great Xia.

“Finally, we will have good days ahead!”

“Let’s welcome the army of Great Xia!”

Thus, the territory of Great Xia expanded rapidly once again.

About a week later, Lin Beifan opened the Empire Sandbox, and the data had undergone significant changes.

……

Empire Sandbox (Ultimate)

Territorial Area: 60 million square li (Arable land 32.5 million square li)

Domestic Resources: 9.6 billion taels (gold mines 18, silver mines 32, copper mines 53, iron mines 130…)

Population: 650 million (Wealthy people 1%, Common people 39%, Poor people 60%)

Military Strength: 8.1 million (2 Great Grandmasters, 9 Grandmasters, 225 Innates, 51,000 martial artists…)

Comprehensive National Power: 100,100 (Celestial Empire level)

……

The Territorial Area had increased by 8 million square li, and the Arable land by 4 million square li.

Domestic Resources had increased by nearly 1 billion taels of silver.

The Population had grown by 60 million.

There was not much change in Military Strength.

However, due to the expansion of territory, the comprehensive national power finally broke through the 100,000 mark!

Each piece of data was extremely impressive!

Lin Beifan couldn’t help but get lost in memories.

When he first arrived in this world, he took over the Xia Kingdom, which was on the brink of extinction.

The entire country’s national power was just over 300.

A few Innate masters could have wiped out the nation.

But now, in just a few years, the comprehensive national power had developed to 100,000.

It was more than 300 times the original!

This rate of development was absolutely unprecedented!

And he, as a result, became the first emperor in history to establish a Celestial Empire and was hailed as the greatest emperor throughout the ages by the people!

At this moment, Lin Beifan also heard the long-awaited, most anticipated voice.

“Ding! Congratulations to the player for the growth in national power, breaking through the 100,000 mark! As such, your strength has increased synchronously. You are rewarded with Earthly Immortal strength, and the Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo has been developed to a minor completion stage!”

A terrifyingly powerful force surged into Lin Beifan’s body, cleansing his marrow and refining his physique.

At the same time, he found himself unwittingly falling into a state of sudden enlightenment.

This time, however, what he perceived was not the martial path but the Way of Heaven and Earth.

The natural world operates according to its own rules and natural laws.

Martial arts too follow a path, leading directly to the Way of Heaven.

Lin Beifan had always studied martial arts, and now, having reached the pinnacle of martial arts, he broke through the boundaries and began to perceive the Way of Heaven.

At this point, he could no longer be considered merely mortal, he could be called an immortal.

Therefore, this realm is also known as the Earthly Immortal realm, which means living in the world but being able to perceive the Way of Heaven, akin to the immortals.

It seemed like an instant, yet also eternal, Lin Beifan’s consciousness wandered freely in the sea of the Way of Heaven, unbounded and unrestricted.

In a trance, he seemed to see a huge, multicolored ring, colorful ring connected by numerous chains of rules, floating and drifting at the center of the world, illuminating all directions, its power immeasurable.

That was the authority of Heaven and Earth of this world.

Whoever could seize it would control this world.

Lin Beifan’s consciousness couldn’t help but drift over and reach for the authority of Heaven and Earth.

……

At that moment, the guardians of the four directions, the Holy Beasts, were all startled awake.

“Not good! Someone is peering at the authority of Heaven and Earth!”

“The operation of Heaven and Earth has its own way. We cannot let him take control!”

“We must stop him!”

The Azure Dragon swung its tail, the White Tiger roared, the Vermilion Bird spread its wings, and the Black Tortoise looked fierce.

The Four Holy Beasts combined their strength, and a terrifying power swept over, repelling Lin Beifan’s consciousness.

……

Lin Beifan was jolted awake from his enlightenment, “I almost succeeded!”

If he had seized the authority of Heaven and Earth, then he would have had the final say in this world.

He would have become the Way of Heaven.

Unfortunately, the Four Holy Beasts of Heaven and Earth noticed and prevented his success.

Lin Beifan felt the changes in his body and realized that after ascending to the Earthly Immortal realm, he was indeed different.

His blood had completely transformed into a golden hue, his tendons and bones were like those of a dragon, his internal organs thundered like lightning, and every cell in his body contained immense energy.

A single punch from him could shatter the void.

Tearing apart the Four Holy Beasts with his bare hands would not be an issue.

With a mere flick of his finger, he could crush his former self.

Moreover, his body was now in great harmony with the Way of Heaven, making the manipulation of the forces of Heaven and Earth even simpler, as if he himself were a god, capable of governing everything.

“This is the power of an Earthly Immortal, an invincible power under heaven!” Lin Beifan was thrilled beyond measure.

Now, he no longer needed to hide. He could do as he pleased.

At this moment, four massive shadows appeared in the skies above Great Xia.

They were the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise.

They had tracked Lin Beifan’s consciousness and had come here, emitting furious roars.

The common people of the nation prostrated themselves before this formidable presence, their expressions filled with terror.

“What are those things appearing in the sky?”

“Where did these terrifying and fierce monsters come from?”

“What do they want to do? Are they here to destroy the world?”

“What on earth is happening in this world!”

Within the Great Xia imperial palace, Eunuch Liu and others rushed in hurriedly, speaking anxiously, “Your Majesty, strange creatures have suddenly appeared in the skies above Great Xia, roaring fiercely. It might be an ominous sign!”

Lin Beifan looked up, smiled slightly, and said, “Don’t panic! Since they have found us, let’s start the battle!”

Eunuch Liu and the others were stunned, “Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?”

“What I mean is, I will personally deal with those four creatures!”

With those words, Lin Beifan took strides that covered dozens of zhang with each step, shrinking the distance as if teleporting, and instantly left the imperial palace.

The others watched Lin Beifan’s departing figure with even greater astonishment.

“Your Majesty?”

“What… Does His Majesty actually know martial arts?”
