Chapter 1236

"It's all the Goddess's grace!"

They didn't understand the principles of science and technology, only knowing that these were bestowed by the Goddess, and their loyalty to the Tianyuan Empire grew even deeper.

Gruman worked for a day and went home happily.

"This year I can harvest thirty thousand catties of grain, enough to eat for many years." Gruman was originally just a slave, but now he had gained his freedom and was very fanatical about accumulating wealth.

"It's a pity the Goddess only collects a little bit of tax, otherwise I would definitely pay more to contribute to the empire!"

Gruman was very supportive of the Emperor who abolished the slave system.

"Gruman, back from farming again?"

"Mm." Gruman was very proud, holding his head high. "I have a lot of grain this year. Brother Green, do you want to come to my house for dinner? My treat!"

Opposite him was a pig-headed man, very robust, standing two meters tall, with a waist like a water barrel, walking like a mountain of meat.

Green laughed: "If you're willing to treat, I'll tell you! My appetite is very big."

"Hehe, are you afraid you'll eat me poor?" Gruman didn't care at all, very proud. "I have plenty of grain now."

And so.

That evening.

Two people of different races sat together, biting into large flatbreads.

The method for the flatbread was also passed down by the Goddess. Although there were no various spices or meats, just plain flour cakes, people from another world still thought it was quite good.

"Life is really good now!"

"Yeah. I never thought that I, a pig-headed man, would have the chance to live outside the Imperial City and have endless food!"

"Me too. I used to be a slave, just hoping to be full. I didn't expect that now I have so much grain too."

"It's all the Goddess's credit!"

"Green, do you still miss your country? That what-was-it, Behemoth Empire?"

Green was speechless, his pair of large pig eyes full of speechlessness, looking at Gruman with the eyes of someone looking at a moron: "Would you miss the days when you were a slave?"

"How is that possible!" Gruman was speechless, waving his hands repeatedly. "The days as a slave only had whips, hunger, and exhaustion. How could I miss those days."

Green sighed: "Me too. Although the Behemoth Empire was an orc empire, we ordinary orcs lived hard lives too. We had to farm diligently to supply the nobles, and perform all kinds of corvée labor, not much better than slaves. The Behemoth Empire, that was the nobles' empire, what did it have to do with an ordinary orc like me?"

"That's true too!"

"Gruman, have you ever thought about studying to become an official?" Green asked.

Gruman was shocked: "But I'm just a slave?"

"You are no longer a slave now." Green shook his head. "The Goddess has bestowed you with freedom, and you can have the same right to study and become an official as everyone else."

Gruman hesitated.

Could someone like him also become an official?

After thinking about it, he looked at Green and said: "Brother Green, shall we go study together? Even if we can't become officials, we can learn some characters; there's no harm in that."

"Me?"

Green was startled.

Actually, he was even more inferior than Gruman.

Although the Goddess said all races were equal.

He was still very inferior about his pig-headed race.

For strength, he wasn't as strong as the bull-horn race.

For intelligence, he wasn't as strong as the fox race.

For appearance, he wasn't as strong as the mermaid race.

It could be said that the pig-headed race was a race with no advantages other than a large appetite.

Even in the orc empire, the pig-headed race was the lowest race; let alone becoming officials, even as soldiers, they were existence like cannon fodder.

But seeing Gruman's burning eyes, he couldn't help but nod.

At this moment, he only felt a flame burning fiercely in his chest.

He could not let down the human in front of him, nor could he let down the rights bestowed by the Goddess.

The next day.

The two walked together, and they hadn't gone far when they heard a commotion.

The two approached and saw a handsome bard telling the legendary story of the Queen. The commoners below were very excited, cheering from time to time and throwing copper coins.

"In the continent's tens of thousands of years of history, Her Majesty is the unquestionable first Emperor. No one in the past could compare to Her Majesty, and there will never be in the future! Everyone, let us cheer for Her Majesty together!"

As the words fell, the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak.

Whether they were human, elf, or orc, everyone cheered loudly.

That fanatical emotion was intense to the extreme.

This was support for the Tianyuan Empire!

This was support for the First Emperor of the Empire!

In the very center of the Imperial City, Henrietta stared at the heavens, only feeling the power of faith becoming more and more surging.

In her sea of consciousness, that illusory godhead condensed into a solid entity at this moment.

At this moment, she had become a lower-level god! ===== CHAPTER 1237 =====

At the very center of the Imperial City, Henrietta gazed at the heavens and earth, feeling the power of faith becoming increasingly surging.

Within her sea of consciousness, that illusory godhood condensed into a physical form at this moment.

At this moment, she had become a Lesser God!
