Upon hearing this, Quan Ji chuckled softly, her gaze falling on an open space next to the altar. She then leisurely retrieved a small wooden room from her spatial pouch.
The room wasn't big, almost big enough to fit the Rain God. It had no door, was completely arched and open, and was empty inside.
Commonly known as a doghouse.
The moment the Rain God saw this house, his guard broke down; his smile froze on his face, unchanging no matter what.
"Is this... a doghouse?"
He could hardly believe it.
Quan Ji confirmed his idea: "Yes, a doghouse. Is there a problem?"
The Rain God almost exploded the moment he heard this.
"I am a god! A god! How can I live in a doghouse!"
"Is a doghouse a place where gods can live?!"
If we move in here and other gods find out, wouldn't we be incredibly embarrassed?
That's not good!
Quan Ji was too lazy to waste words with him, and simply said, "This doghouse, take it or leave it."
If you don't want to live there, then don't; it'll save you from wasting space on the altar.
He harmed his holy people, yet he still wants a good place of worship?
The Rain God was incredibly frustrated, but what could he say? Who was the other party? She was the young lady!
He could only accept it tearfully, and with his head down, he crawled into the doghouse.
"Can't I stay... I can stay?"
He felt so pathetic, like he was the most wronged person in the whole world!
He was too ashamed to go out after that.
After glancing at him, Quan Ji turned to look at Priest Feng Xi, who had been standing with his hands behind his back the whole time.
The Fengxi priest removed the barrier that was blocking Jun Chenlan.
"You've worked hard, Miss."
Quan Ji could only sigh and say nothing.
"Prepare for the Fengxi ceremony. Tomorrow night, the Holy Glory Empire will break through to the fourth level of empire."
Priest Feng Xi frowned slightly. "Young Miss, why don't you suppress this for now?"
Quan Ji countered, "Why suppress it?"
The priest of Fengxi expressed his views:
"Although the Holy Glory Empire now has the conditions to be promoted to a fourth-level empire... the current situation is not optimistic. If a third-level empire attacks, it will not be a problem, but once it is promoted, the enemy it will face will be a fourth-level empire."
"The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. The Holy Glory Empire's rapid advancement has already attracted the attention of many people... If it breaks through to level four at this time, it will inevitably make more people wary."
"Besides, if I remember correctly, the young lady will soon be traveling far away again. If she encounters an invasion from a fourth-level empire at this time, it may not be a good thing for Saint Glory."
The Fengxi sacrificial ceremony was quite well thought out.
The Holy Glory Empire went from a level two empire to a level three empire in just a few months since Quan Ji took power.
How much time has passed since then?
Is it three months?
Once the Holy Glory Empire advances to level four, it will inevitably bring blessings from the gods. At that time, it will attract the suspicion of some established empires, who will then begin to target the Holy Glory Empire.
It's important to understand that every empire that has risen to the level of a fourth-tier empire has gone through various stages of development, and time is undoubtedly the most crucial factor. However, the Holy Glory Empire seems to be leveling up as easily as drinking water, as if there were no obstacles at all.
No... rather than saying there were no obstacles, it's more accurate to say that all obstacles were swept away.
Therefore... the sense of crisis that the Holy Empire's advancement to a fourth-tier empire at this time brought is self-evident.
They will not allow the Holy Empire to grow so unchecked.
This is more harmful than beneficial to the Holy Empire.
However, Princess Quan raised her head and smiled at Priest Feng Xi.
"Thank you for your trouble, Sacrifice Master Fengxi."
She never expected that Priest Fengxi, who seemed to have no desire for anything, would consider so much for her at a time like this.
To be honest, we should be grateful.
but--
"Without weathering the storm, even the strongest fortress will reveal its true strength."
"What my Holy Glory Empire lacks now is not strength, but resources that match its strength."
"At the top level, my Holy Glory Empire has twelve human gods, sixty-one high priests, plus myself, a priest who can defy high priests, and many guardian gods. Looking across the entire Noah Continent, there is absolutely no second country that can compare with my Holy Glory Empire."
"In terms of the middle ranks, my Holy Glory Empire is indeed lacking... but it is by no means a lack of strength, but a lack of manpower! There is no need to worry about this, I will use the power of technology to make up for this - manpower has never determined strength."
"So... even if my Holy Glory Empire becomes a thorn in our side, so what?"
"This is not a crisis, but an opportunity, a test!"
"To be able to shock the entire Noah Continent as a fourth-level empire is by no means a bad thing for my Holy Glory!"
"If my Holy Glory Empire cannot shine with boundless brilliance, and even advancement requires timidity, then all glory is nothing but self-deception!"
"If we're going to do it, we'll be the most arrogant and outrageous one!"
"If history has no precedent, we will set one!"
"If a storm is coming, then let the storm rage on!"
"My Holy Empire has the strength, what is there to fear?!"
Quan Ji spoke with a powerful and resounding voice, her body seemingly radiating a dazzling light that captivated all who looked at her.
For once, the priest opened his eyes, parted his lips slightly, and finally smiled.
"With Miss's words, Feng Xi can rest assured."
"You are the leader chosen by the Moon Goddess to carry out her divine will."
"You are always right."
He's overthinking it.
The young lady should be fearless and arrogant.
May the gods be with you.
"Holy glory, be with you."
Feng Xi bowed respectfully.
Quan Ji's eyes were full of smiles.
Her gaze fell on Jun Chenlan: "I'm sorry to trouble you, my friend, but... state affairs are not yet settled, please wait for me for two more days."
Looking at the radiant girl before him, Jun Chenlan didn't feel that he had suffered any great injustice.
Because he was willing.
He knew when the girl he liked was most captivating.
"Go for it. I can wait as long as it's a promise."
Quan Ji smiled.
Having a friend like Lan is truly reassuring.
She turned and used her Imperial Medal to spread her voice throughout the Holy Empire.
"My holy subjects, heed my command! Tomorrow at 2 PM, enter the Divine Platform and prove your status as a Level Four Empire!"
The crisp sound reached everyone's ears.
They stared intently in Quan Ji's direction, unable to describe the excitement and pride they felt.
So... so their Holy Glory Empire has already been able to advance to level four?
How long has it been?
It hasn't been three months since the last time it was certified as a Level 3 Empire, has it?
Their Holy Empire's ascension speed... who else can match that?!
Back then—before the young lady took over, the Holy Glory Empire had stagnated for two hundred years, remaining at the level of a second-tier empire. Who could have imagined it would be where it is today?!
