I.. Am God?

"Our Great Majesty Matthias will also crown new nobles who are upright and have served the dynasty for its betterment tomorrow at dawn."

"Glory to His Majesty!" After the Imperial Edict was read, one of the commoners rejoiced happily.

"Glory to His Majesty!" The others also joined and praised him.

There was a world law inside the Immortal Territories. The faith and happiness of the people will strengthen the palace and make it grander, fortifying the land.

When the Imperial Edict was finished, and the people rejoiced, the Imperial Palace became more shiny and grand.

Inside the Palace, in the Throne Hall, Matthias felt the change and smiled. "Is this the feeling of a ruler that successfully brought happiness to his subjects? It feels great."

His strength and majesty also increased and got denser. The pressure that he exudes and his authority over the territory was also strengthened.

"Your Majesty, your advisor, Cane Maxwell, requests an audience!" Suddenly, outside the Throne Hall, Cane's voice was heard.

Matthias sat up straight and answered with a dignified voice, "I permit you to enter."

The gate automatically opened and Cane was there, walking with his knees.

Matthias looked at him and sighed, "Cane, I still haven't restored even the territory to its prosperity. You need not do that for the time being."

Cane was lost for a moment but still nodded, "As you wish, Your Majesty." He then stood and walked towards the throne. He then stopped when he arrived 9 meters away from Matthias.

"Your Majesty, the damage that has been made by the corrupt people in power was incredibly huge. The Imperial Coffers are currently almost empty of riches. The agricultural sector is also dominated by the former nobles. It will be a long time before we can fix this." Cane reported.

"Hmm." Matthias pondered, "What if I bring resources from my personal coffer? Will those work?"

Cane thought for a moment and said, "If we could establish a commerce owned solely by the Imperial Family, then sell our products for Immortal Gold, then convert those golds to Qin Currency, then distribute the money to your subjects in exchange for resources, then sell those resources to the commoners in market price, we could potentially revitalize the dynasty's economy."

"The only problem is if the products that Your Majesty has is suitable and can be beneficial inside the Immortal Territories." Cane sighed.

"I have already thought of that problem." Matthias nodded, "The Immortal Territories' Energy and Laws are actually similar to my galaxy's God's Land. Mine's energy is just purer than here. The laws are also the same so the effects of the plant or herb are just the same."

"Then that is great, Your Majesty!" Cane chirped, "When can we start?"

"Right now, we could." Matthias answered. But then..

"Your Majesty! Grand Protector Wang Xuan requests your presence!" A loud voice came from the outside.

"Come." Matthias replied and opened the gate telepathically.

The Grand Protector was wearing a black full body chinese general armor with his helmet tucked beneath his left arm.

He then half-kneeled and spoke, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Matthias nodded, "Speak."

"Your Majesty, there's a sign of rebellion seven cities south of the capital. It seems that it was under the command of Guan Shaoming and the other dukes. They have in their control 30,000 personal troops and 700,000 from the former Devoured Sun Kingdom are currently marching towards the capital. Please give your orders." Wang Xuan cupped his fist and bowed while explaining the circumstances.

"Hmm.." Matthias went solemn.

Suddenly, another voice came from the outside, "Master, Black requests your presence."

"Come in."

A black shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere and Black's figure emerged from the shadow on the ground. He then half-kneeled and said, "Master, the Three Sects inside Qin, namely the Five Mountains Sect, Soul Pavilion, and the Flame Sect want to rebel and involve the neighboring Yuan Empire. We have detained the defilers and destroyed their foundations. But a messenger escaped and successfully reported to the Yuan Capital. It's just a matter of time for the Yuan Empire to send in their armies to conquer our western territories." Black explained, "Forgive me and my disciples' inadequacies to protect your land. Please punish me." He then kowtowed towards him.

"Sigh. Stand up, Black. We need results and solutions." Matthias shook his head and waved his hand. Black felt as if someone pulled him back up.

"Have you found anything inside the territory that could help us in this endeavor?" Matthias asked.

"Yes, Master." Black nodded. "Three days after Your Majesty made an announcement that reverberated across the land, Three factions rose and made their stances. The first is the Guan Faction, lead by Guan Shaoming and his accomplices, the second was the Commoner's Faction, who will temporarily standby to see Your Majesty, and the third is The Gongsun Faction, the Faction that believes that the old Empire will rise once more and will side with whoever shines light upon the land." Black explained.

"Currently, The Gongsun Faction led by Patriarch Gongsun Yi is your stout ally. Their faction consists of ancient families that are suppressed by the former nobles, commoners who have decent power, and officials that serve only the throne." Black answered.

"Cane, any thoughts?" Matthias looked at the silent advisor below.

"Your Majesty, the Gongsun Family is an extremely influential family in the circle of powerful hidden families. They are of the Yellow Emperor's lineage and are known to nurture incredibly talented statesman and military leaders. They are extremely popular within the nobles and commoners. I estimate that their Faction's forces are probably numbered around 1.6 million. With them at our helm, our chances of defending the realm will be higher." Cane said excitedly.

"Very well. Let us wait for tomorrow's speech." Matthias smiled and stood up, "Cane, Black, I want you to help each other with looking for a capable person that can manage the commerce. I will be back here once I retrieve the products that we can sell."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two nodded.
