I.. Am God?

"Then it's decided!" Matthias chirped. "Li Shangren, come forth." He commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty?" The silent Shangren that stayed behind him all this time stepped forward, bowed, and asked.

"You shall take over the talks between the Xianping Faction and the Son of Duke Verimont with what they want to purchase from the Commerce." Matthias replied.

He then faced Shang Quewen, "You can return to the Qian State with a representative of mine to continue the trade talks between our territories. Once everything is finished, we will decide what to do next." He said.

"As you wish, Your Majesty." The man sighed and nodded. Matthias stood up and left the three to Li Shangren's bidding.

When Matthias left the room, he went to Cane and said, "I would be away for quite some time. I would still return once the electoral voting is done, so you handle the affairs here for me."

"As you wish, Your Majesty." Cane sighed and nodded. Although Matthias was the absolute Emperor, he was acting like his position was just a ceremonial and honorary one. But, as long as Qin has its Emperor at its back, it's enough, Cane thought.

As soon as Matthias left, he went to the Qin University of Arts of War and Martial, one of the Learning Institutes that he ordered to be built in the capital. There, he went to meet the Chancellor that he appointed for the university.

"Your Majesty!" Inside the university, the Chancellor's Office, Matthias looked at the kneeling person in front of him.

"At ease." Matthias replied. The man in front of him was Chu Dawei, one of the top scorers of those who trained for the Dynastic Guards. Instead of becoming one of the warriors of the realm, Matthias appointed him as the Chancellor of the Martial University because of one reason; he was extremely talented in teaching and leading.

Except for being extremely good at fighting, cultivating, assassination, and formations, Chu Dawei also set the record to slaughtering nearly a thousand soldiers of the same cultivation as him, and leading ten comrades to wrecking havoc inside a simulated kingdom by wiping out more than half of its million soldiers and escaping unscathed with his formation that he created on the spot.

"What brings you here, Your Majesty?" He asked.

"Nothing. I was just visiting." Matthias replied. "As the Highest Commanding General of the Dynasty, It's expected for me to see my subjects even just once." He added.

"Ah, I see." Chu Dawei nodded in understanding.

The Chancellor's Office had a window to look at the university grounds. Matthias turned around and looked at the students training and studying.

Suddenly, while Matthias was looking at one of the students, one of them raised his head and looked at the building where the Chancellor's Office is at. Although there is a window for the Chancellor's Office, it was just a wall when looked from the outside, so when the boy looked at the building and his eyes were traced straight to Matthias', Matthias was bewildered.

He turned around and called Chu Dawei, "Come here." He beckoned.

"Why, Your Majesty? Has someone caught your eye?" Chu Dawei asked curiously.

Matthias pointed at the boy. On the window, a gold light circled the boy's figure out of the blue, "Him."

"Ohh." Although he was amazed by what just happened, Chu Dawei still turned around and opened a cabinet in the corner of the room. He retrieved the stack of folders and placed it down the table.

He browsed and reached the fifth folder in the stack. He then walked towards Matthias and gave it to him. "This is it, Your Majesty."

Matthias received it and opened it. "The name of the boy is Han Shiwu, a fifteen-year old orphan from the Gold Village. He arrived here in the capital four days ago to study in the Martial University to become a soldier."

"According to the records, he is extremely talented and mature too, thinking like a twenty to thirty years old man sometimes. He offended the Young Master of the Crow City Kong Family. It was said that he killed two of the descendants of the said family and also killed a lot of their men. It took the Kong Family to call their patriarch to injure him. But he surprisingly survived and entered the Martial University for protection." Chu Dawei narrated to him the details about the boy.

Matthias gaped at what he read and heard. "Another MC-level figure? Inside my territory? This is either a blessing or a calamity." He thought.

"But I'm not like those foolish Ancestor-level figures that deliberately offend them. I'm an intelligent earthling that has read tons of novels like this." He continued firmly.

"Protect him secretly." Matthias suddenly spoke. "Supply him with resources like a Core student." He continued and walked towards the door.

"Your Majesty?!" Chu Dawei gasped.

"Oh, also.." Matthias stopped and turned around, "After he graduates, recommend him to the Hidden Dragon Sect. Just talk to Cane and tell him I told you so. If he doesn't like to be restrained, just offer him an honorary Core Disciple position." He then continued to leave the University.

"Y-Yes, Your Majesty." Still overwhelmed, Chu Dawei stuttered and bowed towards him.

Below, Han Shiwu looked at his hind sight and thought to himself, "System, what was that feeling just now?"

[Favorability towards the Emperor of Qin Han Shen +10,000! Reached Ultimate Favor Level!]

[Unlocked the System's Hall of Summons! The Host can now summon comrades and send signals of help from those who have Ultimate Favor Level Favorability with the Host! Congratulations!]

"Wha-" Han Shiwu gawked. Matthias didn't know that he just became the reason why this MC-level figure would survive countless disastrous encounters that could have killed him.

After that brief visit, he then went to the Qin University of Literature and Arts. Different from the Martial University, this University focuses on literary schools of thought, politics, sciences, philosophical ideologies, painting, calligraphy, and many more.

Inside, someone who looked extremely scholarly was waiting for him. The man was holding a goose feather-fan used by Daoists or Confucians. He was also wearing a hanfu similar to that of Zhuge Liang. "Your Majesty, welcome to the University!" The man bowed respectfully.

"How is your life here, Zhi Hui? Does being the Chancellor of this University bore you?" He asked the man.

"It has been going great, Your Majesty." Zhi Hui replied.

"Mhmm. That's good." Matthias smiled. Zhi Hui, different from the Chancellor of the previous university, was Matthias' creation. Inside the Immortal Territories, creation of life and soul is infinitesimally hard because of its laws. It restricts Creator beings from disrupting the balance of the world by limiting their authority over creation.

Zhi Hui was created inside the independent space that Matthias created for the university. Specifically, Zhi Hui is the soul of the independent space.

By making a copy of the Hall of Knowledge with its books filtered to ideologies, science limited to those of the 19th centuries and below, arrays, and arts, and creating a Dao Soul for the library, Matthias got to create Zhi Hui.

Matthias then created a physical body that is within bounds of the laws and let Zhi Hui inhabit it. With a strong asset of knowledge, he became a suitable leader figure of the university.

"Then, did you encounter any prodigies?" Matthias inquired.

To the answer, Zhi Hui nodded. "I found a boy that isn't really a boy." He replied truthfully.

"So, gay?" Matthias narrowed his eyes in confusion.

"No." Zhi Hui shook his head. "The person has a boy's body but a soul of that of a 3,000 year-old spirit."

Matthias gawked, "Another MC?" He slapped his forehead with furiousness.

"What's the problem, Your Majesty?" Zhi Hui asked worriedly. Matthias shook his head and waved his hand, "Don't worry, I am okay." He sighed.

*Don't offend him. Don't make it obvious, but help him." Matthias ordered. Understanding what he wants, Zhi Hui nodded his head. Matthias then leaves with confusion if he's going to leave with happiness or worry.

After that, Matthias hopped onto his horse and journeyed to the west once more to enter The Wild Territories as Han Jianyu. This time, he prepared a lot of things. The sword and clothes that he prepared before were enhanced with runes that he made according to the laws of the Immortal Territories. He also cultivated while in the journey, achieving the Divine Prince Realm. Because of him being a god and his body's natural acceptance to any kinds of energy, his cultivation towards the Divine Ranks became extremely easy.

He arrived in the Meizu Region. After the coronation, the cities were successfully separated. Meizu Region, in particular, was divided into 20 cities. The barren regions were replenished of its nature and were revived, becoming cities.

He journeyed west and arrived at the city of Midas, one of the three new cities to border the Wild Territories. Here, it was controlled by Qi Luo, a talented official that was once suppressed under officials that are puppets of influential families.
