Tang San's Wishful Thinking

So that's how it is. Then when I become the Sea God, I'll destroy the Church first, and once I'm powerful enough, I'll kill the Eternal God!

Tang San's thoughts raced, and he instantly felt full of energy; his dormant heart was revitalized.

"It seems you harbor deep resentment towards the Eternal God, but revealing your stance now is not a good idea," the ' Sea God ' said pointedly.

Tang San looked at the royal family members behind him, each with a different expression, "Your Majesty, you must also harbor resentment towards the Eternal Church, right?"

He also needs to rely on the power of the Two Great Empires to launch a war that will sweep across the continent and sweep the Eternal Church into the dustbin of history!

People like this who disrupt order should be destroyed!

This led to the restoration of the feudal imperial system in which Two Great Empires coexisted.

Now that he knew the Eternal God couldn't intervene in the continent, he was confident he could repeat the ending of his previous life.

Although the process was arduous, Tang San believed that the final outcome would be perfect!

"Haha, of course, we've long been dissatisfied with the Church." Xue Ye chuckled. The moment he saw the Sea God's Divine Sense, he dared not underestimate Tang San anymore.

Damn Huo Yuhao, you've actually gained the Sea God's approval! You've already found your way to death!

Of course, Xue Ye only dared to curse Tang San in his heart, and he didn't even curse Tang San's real name.

"Yes, yes, we've long been dissatisfied with the Eternal Church. This scourge of the country and its people—with parasites like them around, the empire is doomed to destruction sooner or later!"

Several other members of the royal family also quickly expressed their opinions.

Even the emperor has bowed his head; they are opportunists, so naturally they will make a wise choice.

Although Tang San seemed to pose no threat to them, the Sea God's Divine Sense was unfathomable, and the royal family dared not gamble that it posed no danger.

"Since everyone is dissatisfied with the Eternal Church, why don't we convene a council to determine our common stance?" Tang San suggested.

"Well... young friend Yuhao, isn't this unnecessary?" Xue Ye smiled awkwardly, not wanting to make such a fuss.

Tang San said firmly, "No, Your Majesty, this is absolutely necessary. We are preparing for future battles. You wouldn't want nobles to collude with the enemy after a conflict with the Eternal Church, would you?"

He had already realized that Xue Ye and the others weren't very determined to fight the Church, so it was necessary to take a drastic step, taking advantage of the Sea God's support to drag them into the fray, and then drag a group of nobles into the fray as well, so that they could fight against the Eternal Church together!

"You..." Xue Ye frowned, glancing at the lingering divine Divine Sense the Sea God. After a moment of silence, he sighed, "Very well, let's leave this Secret Room. I will summon my ministers to convene a national council."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tang San was overjoyed and bowed in response.

That's more like it! I'm helping your Heaven Dou Empire, and you old codger don't even appreciate it. Your courage is even less than that of your youngest son, Xue Beng. You're a complete waste!

Everyone left the Secret Room, and Tang San also left with them, taking the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud with him.

With the Sea God's approval, Tang San even gained the upper hand in the conversation.

Half an hour later.

A council meeting was held on Xue Ye, and all the ministers attended.

Everyone was taken aback when they saw someone standing in the center of the scene.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, who is this?"

"Haha, this is Earl Lan Hao. Today's council meeting was convened at his request," Xue Ye chuckled softly.

Tang San hadn't accomplished anything significant, so it was impossible for him to be made a king. Therefore, Xue Ye bestowed upon him the Earl as a token of appreciation.

Although Tang San was somewhat dissatisfied, he still agreed, but requested that the title be Lan Hao.

Xue Ye couldn't figure out the reason, but since it was just a ban on his account, he didn't think much of it and agreed on the spot.

"Earl Lan Hao? That face... I remember he was a student at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, right? What achievements has he made that he was granted the title of Earl?" A minister in the audience expressed his dissatisfaction.

Tang San frowned, extremely dissatisfied with his tone.

"Minister of Rites, you must not be rude." Xue Ye looked at the minister and explained, "Earl Lan Hao may not have made any great achievements, but he is a genius recognized by our royal family's treasured Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud."

"You may not know what the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud signifies, but I can tell you definitively that it is an artifact passed down from the Sea God Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, meaning that Tang San is a genius recognized by the gods!"

"The Sea God? A deity?" The ministers' expressions changed drastically.

Having been influenced by the Eternal Church over the years, those present held the deity in the highest esteem.

Now that they heard that Tang San was a genius recognized by a strange god, their attitudes changed drastically. They all showed him great respect and no one dared to say a word against him.

"Alright, Earl Lan Hao, if you have something to say, please say it." Xue Ye smiled and gestured.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tang San nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping around. "Gentlemen, the Eternal Church has been poisoning the world and ravaging the continent for years. I stand here representing the will of the Sea God, here to overthrow this force!"

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

No one expected this young man to be so audacious, declaring right off the bat that he would overthrow the strongest power on the continent.

"Earl Lan Hao, you are too arrogant. Although the Church has only been established for a short time, it is backed by the Eternal God. It is a powerful and deeply rooted organization that you cannot oppose," a minister questioned.

"Yes, you audacious madman! You think you can act like a tyrant just because you've gained the approval of a wild god? I will report everything you said in the temple today to the Eternal Church. Just wait for the Church's judgment and see if your god will save you!"

Furthermore, a minister openly insulted Tang San. This minister's family had received favors from the Church and was extremely dissatisfied with Tang San's reactionary remarks.

"You're courting death!" Tang San's eyes turned cold as he slightly bowed to Xue Ye. "Your Majesty, this man has threatened me and is inciting unrest. Please execute him on the spot."

"I..." Xue Ye was speechless, wanting to just let it go. Rather than resorting to violence, he had always been adept at playing both sides and balancing the various forces.

"You... you audacious madman! I am the Minister of Works, and you dare to kill me so easily!" The man frowned, his face showing displeasure.

Tang San coldly retorted, "Hmph, from your words just now, I can tell you're on the side of currying favor with the Eternal Church. Someone like you doesn't deserve to occupy a high position in the Heaven Dou Empire. You have no loyalty whatsoever; you'll probably do whatever the Eternal Church tells you to do!"

With that, Tang San bowed to Xue Ye once more. "Your Majesty, please execute this disloyal man on the spot!"

Xue Ye's expression darkened. "Earl Lan Hao, don't force me. You two, calm down first."

A hint of disdain flashed in Tang San's eyes. He stopped arguing, but secretly harbored resentment towards that minister. Instead, he continued to promote the idea of overthrowing the Eternal Church. Many nobles, seeing him as a spokesperson for God, were actually tempted to agree with him.

Their interests in the empire were being eroded by the Church, so naturally they were dissatisfied with the Church.
