Chapter 183: The One God, Three Thousand Sky-Winged Species! Unparalleled Domineering Aura!!
With the full effort of the three thousand Sky-Winged Species and the fifty thousand Machine-Armored Species, the new empire and church were established in less than three days.
The entire imperial capital, along with some surrounding areas, was also completely brought under control!
At the same time, the news that the empire had been destroyed and the royal family and noble officials slaughtered to the last man spread completely.
Naturally, the governors of the various cities in the empire would not recognize the Disbold Holy Empire; they each declared independence!
Not only that, the non-human races who received this news were the happiest.
Almost at the same moment, these non-human races all launched invasion wars against the empire's periphery.
Of course, this did not include the non-human races in the southwest.
Because the non-human races over there had already been annihilated by Esdeath and Najenda!
As the youngest generals in the empire, they happened not to be in the imperial capital this time, having been dispatched to suppress the non-human races' rebellion.
However, it was this suppression of the non-human races that allowed Najenda to see the cruel side of Esdeath, sowing the seeds of betrayal against the empire.
It was just that with Li An's arrival, the plot had already changed.
After learning the empire had been destroyed, Najenda was stunned, unable to believe the details.
But Esdeath was different; she instead revealed a smile.
Between her and the empire, or rather between her and the ministers, it had always been mutually beneficial.
She had never been loyal to the empire.
All she wanted was war!
Now that a force capable of destroying the empire had appeared, this instead made her excited.
"I hope the opponent isn't too weak!" Esdeath revealed a ferocious smile.
At the same time, the revolutionary army, which had always been opposed to the state, was also using this opportunity to strengthen itself, openly recruiting soldiers and buying horses.
The entire Eastern Continent was thrown into complete chaos.
However, the instigator of all this sat upon the throne in the Sky Temple, enjoying the massage services of the two women, Raphael and Shalghir.
The church had been completed, and the other Sky-Winged Species had already begun responsible for spreading the faith.
The imperial palace in the capital was also rebuilt into a church, and in the central area stood a giant statue of a deity, the One God Li An!
The Machine-Armored Species were responsible for the operation of the empire; of course, a portion of the Machine-Armored Species was also dispatched to wage war, annihilating those governors who refused to submit to the Disbold Holy Empire!
With every city conquered, the Sky-Winged Species would go and establish the Jianlishen Sect, spreading the faith.
In this way, the Weiyishen Sect was believed in by more and more people.
After all, those were real gods and angels, unlike other churches where the gods were merely fabricated.
As the number of believers increased, the faith power Li An obtained also increased.
He used all this faith power to nourish his divine body and divine power, enhancing his own strength.
As time passed, more and more cities were reoccupied by the Disbold Holy Empire.
The faith power Li An absorbed increased, and the Primordial Star of his Divine Marrow also rose to nine percent!
Just a little more, and it could be raised to one-tenth!
The revolutionary army, the non-human races, and the governors of other cities all felt the crisis.
Thus, they chose to form an alliance, concentrating their forces to deal with the Holy Empire.
On Esdeath's side, using the non-human race territories in the southwest as a base, she began to invade and expand into the surrounding areas.
In just one month, a tripartite standoff situation formed on the Eastern Continent.
The strongest was the Holy Empire led by the Prime Minister.
Next was the Revolutionary Federation, formed by the alliance of the revolutionary army, the non-human races, and numerous governors.
Finally, there was the Ice Kingdom established by Esdeath!
Najenda naturally did not stay with Esdeath; she used the excuse of returning to the imperial capital first to check the situation, then broke away from Esdeath's control.
Originally, Najenda intended to join the revolutionary army, but now that the empire was destroyed and a tripartite standoff existed, she had one more choice.
Esdeath was cruel and unrighteous; she definitely would not join the Ice Kingdom.
The revolutionary army was her initial choice, but now she wanted to go see the Holy Empire.
If the Holy Empire was more suitable for her than the revolutionary army, then she would join the Holy Empire.
After spending a month rushing back from the southwest border to the imperial capital, what met her eyes was the divine statue in the central area of the capital.
Najenda inquired a bit and only then learned that the Holy Empire was founded upon the church.
This country had no emperor or officials, but rather a group of mechanical lifeforms managing the empire.
The church's power was even above the state!
Within the empire's borders, only one church was allowed, and that was the Weiyishen Sect.
All the people of the empire were only allowed to worship one god, and that was the One God Li An.
This made Najenda feel the Holy Empire was too domineering, with no human rights!
"Could it be that gods really exist in this world?" Najenda couldn't help but look at the giant divine statue in the center of the capital, falling into deep thought.
After a long while, Najenda took a deep breath.
She felt the Holy Empire was not suitable for her; after all, she did not believe in gods.
Moreover, since the Holy Empire was managed by mechanical lifeforms, if she joined, she definitely would not be given important use and would be unable to display her skills.
However, just as she wanted to leave the imperial capital, she felt a flash before her eyes, and a beautiful angel (Sky-Winged Species) instantly appeared before her.
Najenda's face panicked, knowing she had been discovered.
However, before she could react, the suddenly appeared Sky-Winged Species said: "The Master wants to see you, come with me!"
"The Master? Could it be that One God!" Najenda exclaimed, finding it hard to believe.
She couldn't figure out why that One God wanted to summon her alone.
The Sky Wing race frowned upon hearing Najeta's words and said, "What's with all this 'that' and 'this'—when you see the Master later, show some respect!"
