Chapter 309

310. Chapter 310: Plundering National Fortune! Fate Golden Dragon!

On the dragon carriage, Xu Tianhe, dressed in a gorgeous imperial robe, looked at his subjects all around with a smile, but his smile was extremely unnatural.

After all, he was just a slacker who had been forced into this position; where had he ever seen such a grand scene? It was already good enough that he didn't get stage fright.

He only hoped it would end soon so he could go back to eat, drink, and have fun. Well, it had to be said, his father's taste was really good; the harem left behind were all top-notch...

Xu Tianhe couldn't help but think of some pleasant things, and his smile became inexplicably bright.

"Long live, long live, long live!"

Under unified command, the soldiers raised the weapons in their hands and shouted "long live."

Suddenly, the millions of people bowed down toward the direction of the dragon carriage like wheat being harvested.

Hearing this, Xu Tianhe quickly came back to his senses, sat upright, and pretended to be serious.

After all, this Sacrifice to Heaven was ordered by his Master; if this matter wasn't done well, his throne would be at an end...

Under the gaze of everyone, the dragon carriage finally arrived in front of the Sun Moon Sacrifice to Heaven Platform.

Xu Tianhe stood up, slowly walked off the dragon carriage, and then walked toward the Sacrifice to Heaven Platform.

At this time, the lower layer of the Sacrifice to Heaven Platform was already full of people; those who could stand on the bottom six layers of the Sacrifice to Heaven Platform were all big shots who held significant weight in the Sun Moon Empire.

For them, being able to stand here was an absolute honor.

The cheers of the people rose like waves, spreading far away like a mountain and sea.

Countless people stood up and knelt down, constantly bowing toward the altar like fanatics.

Although there were millions of people here, these millions were carefully selected, and each one was loyal to the empire.

Xu Tianhe walked step by step to the center of the seventh layer; when he stepped on the sun and moon gold and silver patterns, his whole body was covered in gold and silver radiance.

"Woo, woo, woo—"

A long horn sound like a giant beast groaning sounded.

The Sacrifice to Heaven Ceremony officially began.

Immediately followed by the sound of salute cannons; a total of one hundred and eight salute cannons roared at the same time, and the rolling sound waves were enough to spread for a hundred miles, even reaching several surrounding cities.

Amidst countless salute cannons, Xu Tianhe looked solemn and slowly knelt down, bowing three times and knocking nine times toward the sky.

Immediately followed by a series of sacrificial words...

After the sacrificial words, there was a series of complicated Sacrifice to Heaven rituals.

The whole process needed to last for a whole day.

However, this was the etiquette that should be there; let alone one day, even if it was for a few days and nights, no one would object.

And with the start of the Sacrifice to Heaven Ceremony.

The fortune of the entire Sun Moon Empire began to change subtly.

In the empire, countless forces of fortune slowly gathered toward here, like rivers entering the sea, continuously.

Because at the same time the Sacrifice to Heaven Ceremony started, all cities in the entire empire were praying to heaven at this moment, and the wishes of countless people gathered, also gathering toward the altar...

In an instant, the wind and clouds surged.

The terrifying national fortune almost affected reality, and the white clouds in the sky gradually rotated, condensing into the shape of a vortex...

At the same time.

Inside the huge altar, there was a newly excavated cave dwelling. Of course, originally this altar was solid and extremely sturdy...

It was just that someone felt the location here was good, so he directly excavated a small cave dwelling in it with his bare hands...

At this moment, Bai Zhou sat in the bright cave dwelling, sitting cross-legged, with golden light constantly surging around his body.

With the progress of the Sacrifice to Heaven Ceremony, the golden light on Bai Zhou's body became more and more intense, and even a pale golden giant dragon constantly circling faintly appeared.

These golden lights were the fortune of the Sun Moon Empire, and that little dragon was naturally the legendary Fate Golden Dragon after the national fortune had condensed to a certain degree!

The reason Bai Zhou wanted Xu Tianhe to hold the Sacrifice to Heaven Ceremony was that he had taken a fancy to the incomparably prosperous national fortune power of the Sun Moon Empire.

Wanting to obtain national fortune was not as simple as becoming an Emperor; it also required winning the hearts of the people. The greater the influence, the more fortune one condensed, which required years or even decades of accumulation.

So Bai Zhou directly changed to a method—plundering fortune! Forcibly plundering the national fortune power gathered by the Sacrifice to Heaven Ceremony and adding it to himself, simple, efficient, and fast, and it could be continuous and sustainable.

At this moment, the fortune power on Bai Zhou could be said to have reached the highest point in history, and it was still increasing with the progress of the Sacrifice to Heaven Ceremony; it could be said to be a fruitful harvest! It was even several times more terrifying than the fortune power added to him by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion before! After all, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion actually only carried part of the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest.

And what Bai Zhou was plundering now was the fortune of the entire Sun Moon Empire; although it was not all of it, it was far more than what the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had added to him.

The current comprehensive national power of the Sun Moon Empire could almost be said to crush any of the other three empires, and the fortune power was naturally incomparably thick, directly making Bai Zhou explode with pleasure!

Although plundering the fortune power of the Sun Moon Empire would reduce the national fortune of the Sun Moon Empire and affect the development of the Sun Moon Empire, such as reducing grain output, reducing the probability of awakening Soul Masters, and reducing the chance of geniuses appearing...

However, this had nothing to do with him, Bai Zhou...

He, Bai Zhou, was not a protagonist, let alone a kind person.

If it were really calculated, he and the Sun Moon Empire were still in a hostile relationship; he hadn't united the three empires to destroy the Sun Moon Empire, which was already a great mercy.

Plundering some national fortune and collecting some interest was already very kind.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

At the same time, in the Evil Spirit Forest, there was thunder and lightning in the sky, and even the earth began to tremble slightly.

Holy Spirit Sect Headquarters.

Ye Xishui, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened her eyes, looking stunned.

"What's going on... why is the national fortune of the Sun Moon Empire fluctuating so violently? Could it be that something big has happened?" Ye Xishui's face looked a bit ugly.

Under normal circumstances, the turmoil of the Sun Moon Empire actually had nothing to do with her.

But now, the Holy Spirit Sect had become the state religion of the Sun Moon Empire, and as the Supreme Sect Master of the Holy Spirit Sect, she naturally established a connection with the national fortune of the Sun Moon Empire in the dark.

The fluctuation of the Sun Moon Empire's national fortune also had a significant impact on her cultivation; the most obvious was that the affinity between heaven and earth spiritual energy and her had greatly decreased.

It greatly reduced her cultivation speed.

Besides this, the impact of national fortune was also in all aspects, such as the success rate of crafting Soul Tools, which would also be affected in the dark.

"Swish—"

Ye Xishui instantly arrived outside the secret room and soon saw Long Xiaoyao.

Long Xiaoyao had been protecting Xu Tianhe for the past few days, taking the opportunity to wipe out rebels and execute their clans.

Now that all rebel forces in Mingdu had been wiped out, he naturally came over to get close to Ye Xishui...
