With the death of His Majesty Emperor Hulun'er, the distribution of power in the entire Eagle Kingdom has completely changed.

From the day Hulun died as divine punishment, the Grand Preceptor Smart swiftly and decisively slaughtered all of Hulun's guards and those close to him.

The Grand Preceptor Smart explained that the True God had unleashed divine punishment, and that the True God's wrath was directed at Hulun'er, so those who were related to Hulun'er could not escape the wrath.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If things are not handled well now and the true god is angered, then the entire Eagle Kingdom will face unpredictable dangers.

Under the protection of this reason, all of the Grand Tutor Smart's actions were deemed correct, and no one dared to stop him.

The ordinary citizens of the Eagle Kingdom would simply believe that their Grand Tutor Smart did the right thing.

Overnight, His Majesty Emperor Hulun'er, who was once loved and respected by countless people of the Eagle Kingdom, became a drowning dog that everyone could easily reach.

Everyone associated with Hu Lun'er saw their status plummet.

It was at this juncture that Grand Tutor Smart seized the position of Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom. From then on, this "cultured man" who had no strength to even kill a chicken completely ascended to the throne of Emperor!

He also transformed from the former Grand Tutor Smart into Emperor Smart!

Although Smart was only the nominal second emperor of the Eagle Kingdom, he was no different from the first emperor.

During Hulun'er's reign, he was often engrossed in war and hunting, and never paid much attention to matters of governing the country.

Although they had established a nation, Hulun'er still held extremely primitive ideas. He naively believed that the world was the same as before, that powerful tribes could defeat weak tribes, and that everything depended on the size and strength of fists.

However, what Hu Lun'er didn't know was that during his "leisurely and carefree" time, Smart was working on building the Eagle Kingdom.

It can be said that Smart is responsible for 90% of the development of the Eagle Nation into what it is today.

For the Eagle Kingdom, which has already absorbed a large portion of the tribes and become a super-giant, what they need now is the wise Smart, rather than the brave and skilled Hulun!

Therefore, when Smart ascended to the throne, no one objected; they naturally accepted that Lord Smart had become Emperor.

Smart had only been emperor for two years when, starting in the second year, numerous rumors began to circulate from unknown sources.

Many people say that the reason why Lord Smart possesses such wisdom and has single-handedly built the Eagle Kingdom into what it is today is because he is also a messenger of God!

Legend has it that Lord Smart encountered a supreme deity when he was very young, and it was through the deity's teachings that he acquired his current knowledge.

As the Kingdom of Eagles grows stronger, those who once enjoyed the benefits brought by Smart's wisdom are now extremely excited.

They even took it upon themselves to establish the Church of Wisdom belonging to Lord Smart, whose doctrine was very simple: to yearn for knowledge and truth.

The emergence of this kind of organizational concept has not diminished its popularity; in fact, it has only grown stronger over time, becoming deeply loved by ordinary citizens of the Eagle Kingdom.

At the same time, the Church of Wisdom released a series of new inventions, which were quite useful for the daily lives of the people of the Eagle Kingdom and were accepted by countless people the moment they appeared.

It's unclear when exactly, but the number of recognized churches in the Eagle Kingdom has increased to three.

One is the Church of the God of Beacon Fire, founded by the previous Grand Wizard; the other is the Church of the God of Power, founded by His Majesty Emperor Hulun'er.

With the fall of the Great Wizard and Hulun'er, the popularity of these two organizations gradually declined. For the ordinary people of the Eagle Kingdom, it was better to believe in the God of Wisdom than in their existence.

After all, the energy and enhancement brought by the god of wisdom are visible to the naked eye.

At this time, Smart's reputation reached an unprecedented level, and a year later, the Church of Wisdom had completely replaced the Church of Power and the Church of Beacon Fire.

On this day, Smart was personally reviewing the memorials in front of him, with a bowl of pale-colored nourishing medicine beside him.

The room was huge, and half of the things inside were Smart's creations; he invented quite a few things as well.

However, the true god only gave him endless knowledge, but not a powerful body.

As the days passed by with memorials to the emperor, Smart himself had to resort to remedies to keep his spirits up.

A series of footsteps approached; it was the girl who had been by Smart's side for thirty years.

Now, thirty years have passed, and the girl has aged considerably. Although she has always lived the highest standard of living in the Eagle Kingdom, things cannot be changed by the fact that this world itself is in a rather primitive era.

Smart looked up and, upon seeing that the person who had come was his wife, Fedina, his gaze softened considerably.

"Fertina, it's you."

However, Ferdinand seemed somewhat dejected. She bit her lip and said with a hint of grievance, "Since His Majesty the Emperor didn't come to see me, I had no choice but to come to him."

Smart's gaze fell on the countless memorials on the table, all representing matters he needed to handle, and a wry smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

When Smart looked at Fertina again, his tone was full of apology. "I'm sorry, Fertina. I've had so much official business to handle these past few days, I've neglected you, it's my fault."

Fettina didn't say much, but simply focused her gaze on the nourishing tonic.

Unlike the ordinary citizens of the Eagle Kingdom, Fetina knew the secret behind this nourishing tonic.

As a girl who has been by Smart's side for more than 30 years, Ferdinand is naturally much wiser than the average person.

As for the nourishing tonic, she had witnessed its preparation process countless times before, and coupled with Hu Lun'er's tragic end, Fetina understood the reasons behind it all.

Smart had complete confidence in this girl; he believed that Ferdinand wouldn't do anything to him.

If she wanted to reveal the secret behind this, she would have sold it long ago; she wouldn't have waited until today to make it happen.

Moreover, even if Fedina is willing to speak, someone else needs to be willing to believe her.

Given Smart's current status in the Eagle Kingdom, even if Fetina said that, she would only be seen as crazy on the spot.
