Divine Right of Kings

Morning.

This was a day worth remembering.

Because Li Qing finally officially owned a civilized world.

And on this day, he would display divine miracles for the new king's enthronement, place the crown upon his head, and usher in an era of behind-the-scenes rule through divine right.

To prepare everything, Li Qing finished his meal early and headed to the woods in the suburbs to dig a few sacks of soil and sand to modify the laboratory environment.

"What are you doing?"

Susannie emerged from the house next door, passing by.

She hadn't seen him at the gym for the past two days.

In her eyes, this was slacking off, and how could fitness be effective without persistence?

"Planning to dig up some soil to plant flowers and plants in the yard," Li Qing replied perfunctorily.

There were basically no high-rise buildings in the suburbs here.

Many people lived in detached single-story houses with small yards, and they were far from the city center.

So, no matter how poor you were, you needed a car; it was an essential means of transportation, otherwise, you'd be isolated from the world.

"Then I'll help you. I heard you all like to grow vegetables and plants in your yards?" She enthusiastically came over to help shovel dirt.

Li Qing: "..."

Fine by me!

Li Qing chatted for over ten minutes.

Then he saw the old lady next door driving out.

She looked at the two of them digging with a look of relief, as if to say, "You guys carry on."

Li Qing felt speechless.

Even the seemingly honest Susannie was playing this game, engaging in a battle of wits with her mother.

After the old lady left, Li Qing casually asked, "Is your girlfriend's stomach cancer terminal?"

"Yes, it's already spread to her liver," Susannie's expression suddenly turned grim, and she sighed, "Money isn't the issue, it's just that with late-stage stomach cancer, it's a bit..."

Li Qing nodded.

Stomach cancer was quite painful.

Honestly, if it were just early or mid-stage, he could have his troops enter the stomach to clear out the Cancer Cells, but late-stage was beyond his ability to treat.

To treat it, he would need to develop cell and organ regeneration surgery, kill the Cancer Cells, and then replace the stomach.

Li Qing sighed inwardly:

"Cancer is the best disease for the rich to profit from; one job can sustain you for three years, but the money isn't easy to earn, and we still have to wait for the development of biotechnology."

"Entering this world this time, I'll use mud and sand to modify the world's environment, and perhaps I'll even need to create some Cancer Cells for the wise team inside to conquer."

"After all, economic sources are my top priority right now."

"Relying solely on revenue from aesthetically pleasing animated videos is like playing house, feeding a bunch of marketing accounts that steal videos. But if I hide my identity, even curing cancer once would allow me to live comfortably for years. If necessary, I could even develop some underground medical institutions. Bacteria are the most terrifying 'Three Corpse Brain God Pills,' and forming a 'Sun Moon Divine Cult' would prevent leaks."

Ten o'clock in the morning.

After bidding farewell to Susannie, he carried ten sacks of mud and sand one by one to the laboratory.

Then he called his friend.

The other side was astonished: "Whoa, do you really think I'm Doraemon? Asking me for Cancer Cells?"

Li Qing chuckled and said, "This is called specialization; you work as an experimentalist in a research institute, and the things I'm asking for are directly related to your profession. By the way, I'll return the Ultraviolet Radiation instrument to you; take it back to your lab."

The other side didn't hesitate: "Alright, I happen to have some free time. The lab has some HeLa Cells prepared, so I'll send some over to you."

HeLa Cells originated from the Cancer Cells of a woman seventy years ago, which were later specifically cultured for infinite reproduction and sold worldwide for specialized Cancer Cell sample research.

By noon.

Li Qing had lunch and met his friend at the crossroads.

He returned the Ultraviolet Radiation instrument to him, obtained what he needed, chatted casually, and then left.

Li Qing arrived at the laboratory and, through the glass window, saw the survivors of the entire civilization, all gathered in a city at the very edge, praying and repenting. The city walls had been deliberately heightened, making it impossible to see the outside.

In the outside world, there were only the Pope, priests, bishops, and Dragons as confidantes.

Li Qing glanced and said, "This time, announcing my arrival, those remnant rebels are not outside either. They must be mixed in with the survivors praying. They've chickened out and don't dare to come out and assassinate me..."

Li Qing concentrating the entire world's populace in one corner was not without a bit of a fishing motive.

Unfortunately, they were patient and didn't come out to cause trouble.

Li Qing, of course, had no intention of actually going in.

He directly opened a small opening, installed a special funnel, and began pouring mud and sand into the laboratory, not bothering to care about the pile of miscellaneous insect eggs mixed in with the mud and sand.

Splash!

Mud and sand poured in, piling up into a mountain below.

"Moving mountains and filling seas, creating land from the void." Li Qing poured for a while, then took out a specially made small stick to poke at it, roughly leveling the mud and sand into a piece of land, and then poured more mud and sand.

Anyway, they were too small to see the behemoth tens of thousands of feet tall, which did not diminish the God of Light's dignity in moving bricks.

By the time he was done, the morning had passed.

He had moved ten sacks of mud and gravel in one go. Although he kept poking at it with the stick, a small mountain still formed directly below the small opening.

He clapped his hands:

"This will do for now. Since it's my civilization, I can't mistreat my own people... I need to create the environment."

"It's a shame I don't have money to buy tempered glass, otherwise it would be nice to replace it while I'm at it, but there's no rush to get fat all at once. We'll talk about it later!"

Not to mention, creating the environment for a civilized world was quite a sense of accomplishment.

After completing all this, he saw the dumbfounded Pope and the Cardinals.

He wondered what they were imagining now?

The sky split open, and a sandstorm rolled down from the rift, covering the entire world?

A pillar descended from the sky, stirring the earth and forming a tornado?

Stop kidding.

You are just the legacy of a mentally ill person, a miniature civilized world within a room.

The Pope quickly reacted, remembering the process of the ritual, and shouted excitedly:

"Quick, call out the people inside! The world has been reshaped, and the great God of Light is about to descend upon our world for the first time through the medium of the Holy Dragon's body!"

"Quick, quick! The God is about to descend!"

"Hurry up, everyone! Such a grand ceremony for the God of Light, unprecedented! Civilization is about to enter a new era, don't mess it up!"

"Paladin Order, begin your inspection!"

"Everyone get ready! The million-strong army formation must be neat!!"

The forty billion elites who were preparing to receive the baptism also quickly emerged.

They stared in disbelief at the boundless mud, gravel, and rivers piled up on the earth, and a strange, shelled behemoth crawling among them, greatly astonished.

The God tore open a rift in the sky, filled it with matter, and built this world.

It was a magnificent sight!

"Pray to God!"

The Pope shouted.

He woke up all the stunned individuals and led everyone in kneeling.

All the people had become followers of the God of Light, believing in it as the state religion. They knelt on the ground, looking at the Holy Dragon on the altar high above, devoutly reciting the scripture.

Amidst the constant prayers.

Li Qing waited outside the glass for their prayers to finish and for the descent, pacing back and forth, resembling a young father anxiously waiting outside the delivery room.

After all, it was his first time speaking on stage as a leader under the spotlight, and he was a little nervous.

The founding ceremony had to be grand.

The descent of a deity had to be even more elaborate.

He could descend directly now, without any ceremony, anytime, anywhere.

However, in the eyes of the world, the descent of a god required an extremely complex process.

1. The prayers and faith of countless believers. 2. A medium for the god to walk among mortals. 3. A complex and lengthy ritual of divine descent.

Only by satisfying these three conditions could a god traverse the Crystal Wall and descend into this world as a wisp of consciousness.

Li Qing waited.

He waited until the military parade was almost over.

Finally, he picked up a flashlight and shone it on the Holy Dragon on the high platform for the ceremony.

Amidst the dragon's "Ah~ No~ Ah~", he squeezed its consciousness away and, under the shroud of a golden beam of light, descended into this world.

Boom!

Everyone felt a kind and holy wave descend upon the world and land on the dragon's figure.

"The God has descended!"

All the people below looked at the figure and had this thought surge in their hearts.

This was the God from beyond the Crystal Wall, from the unknown chaos, the supreme God, the most holy, who had previously brought down three great apocalypses and even Judgment Day.

At this moment, the newly elected king walked out.

He knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with piety.

This king was elected from that batch of sages.

There was no interference; the capable took charge. This was also to provide confidence to those who had surrendered.

"Minis, you shall be the first emperor of the Church of Light."

Li Qing, controlling the Dragon, gently placed a heavy alloy crown, custom-made by a jewelry shop and inlaid with a 0.1-carat super large diamond that sparkled astonishingly under the light, onto the ant-like emperor, who was like an ant to him.

He looked softly at the giant, powerful ant-emperor struggling to lift the crown, which was much heavier than himself: "May my children lead civilization towards glory, grant long life to humans, make strength mighty, make the environment abundant, create creations that satisfy you, and evolve the life you desire."

He handed him a small, custom-made alloy scepter symbolizing royal power:

"Your glory is my glory!"

Then, Li Qing handed over the third treasure to the other party.

He pointed to the huge, towering, transparent glass bottle standing on the sandy ground behind him and said:

"This is the third treasure given to you. Implant these magic cells into your bodies. When you sages research and conquer them, civilization will achieve sufficient progress, and endless wealth will envelop this world!"

All the sages held their breath.

They didn't know what forbidden monster was sealed inside, but the transparent material was a Crystal Wall!

This was a treasure bottle made from a Crystal Wall, and it must contain unbelievable treasures.

Seeing their expressions, Li Qing instantly understood what they were thinking: it was just an ordinary glass bottle that would shatter with a single blow.

The era was still simple; it was a primitive era. For now, he could only try his best to make it more magnificent. It would get better in the future, as long as they worked hard. With the entire laboratory team researching cancer treatment, all wealth would be theirs.

Clatter!

The historian in the distance recorded this scene: the God descended upon this world, crowned the emperor, bestowed the scepter, and granted the divine bottle. This was the beginning of the divine right of kings.

Li Qing also took a picture with a camera from outside the wall. The scene was spectacular and perfect as a memento.
