I.. Am God?

The God's Land was then thrown above the mountain, protecting the galaxy and letting the gods inside survey the galaxy.

Alphan was placed below the mountain, creating the phenomenon inside the plane where the humongous mountain would appear once every millions of years.

After seeing everything happening in front of them, the Stellar-Level Beings were put in a daze.

Matthias dispersed them and they began their experiments and research and comprehending of creation.

Matthias then did something that not even gods would want to experience.

He slapped his palm on his forehead, and forcefully halved his soul, making him experience inestimable pain.

He gritted his teeth, forcing himself not to shout. When the soul was fully severed, he was weakened. He then condensed the soul and mended it with the energy of his galaxy, slowly forming an embryo. It then gathered huge amounts of energy by itself, slowly nurturing the embryo inside. It floated and roamed the galaxy for years to come.

After Matthias stabilized his condition, he began harvesting resources for the Immortal Territories. He went to Cane and started harvesting plants, herbs, and meats from the animals inside.

He then went to God's Land to harvest or create metals. He also harvested the normal iron inside God's Land to forge weapons and armors for his army.

As the time inside Cane was incredibly fast, the herbs' ages were at least 100,000 years old, making them precious.

After harvesting hundreds of thousands of resources and placing them in a spatial ring that he personally created with the area of 2,000 square kilometres.

He then returned to the Immortal Territories.

An approximately ten hours have passed inside. The battle of the south already reached the fourth defensive city of Qin, Jianan. Wang Long, with the direct order from Cane and confirmation from Black, marched towards the third defensive city of Weinan and prepared to defend against the upcoming onslaught from the southern rebels.

From Black, Matthias was informed that the Yuan Empire had indeed sent their army to assault the western borders. Numbering to 900,000 men, fortunately, the army was still far away, but their threat was still there.

To mitigate the threat, Matthias sent Wang Xuan with 10,000 archers and artillery to defend from the walls.

Matthias then called Cane and gave him the resources that he had gathered from his domain.

"Your Majesty, these are very valuable! We can really revitalise the coffers!" Cane exclaimed.

"Mhmm." Matthias smiled and nodded, "Sell those resources to mercenaries and our allied families and clans. Also, try to contact some forces from the neighboring territories that could potentially rebel against their lords and sell them resources, gaining us a potential ally that wouldn't be detrimental to us."

"That won't be a problem, Your Majesty. The Duke of Verimont from the Assanasid Dynasty has always showed their dissatisfaction with the current incompetent dictator of the royal family. They would be a pretty good ally." Cane nodded and replied.

"Okay then. Arrange the necessary arrangements for these. I'll let you handle them." Matthias slightly nodded.

"As you wish, Your Majesty!" Cane cupped his hands and bowed. He then left to manage his orders.

The day flew by, and dawn cane. It is already time for Matthias' first speech.

On the shining dragon platform atop the Imperial Palace, Cane, donned in his scholar robe, walked out and stood in front of the crowd, "His Majesty, Master of The Realm, Lord of Ten Thousand Lifetimes, He whose name can't and shan't be spoken, enters!"

"Tuntuuun!" Great blares of trumpets of joy and anticipation redounded across the capital. People bowed and kowtowed towards the Imperial Palace, welcoming their new lord.

"Long Live His Majesty!"

"Long Live!"

"Long Live!"

People chanted and chanted to welcome him. And, the people's wait will now be stopped, as their emperor is now coming out.

Matthias, donned in his black Imperial Armor, walked with majesty towards the platform. His aura awed his subjects, making them respect him more.

Hidden in the midst of the crowd, the men of the Gongsun Faction looked at him with respect, "He really is rightful of the throne." Gongsun Yi said with respect in his voice.

He then teared up, "Our Empire will rise again!"

"Long Live!!" Gongsun Yi shouted in his old but powerful shout.

"Long Live!" With their leader's cue, the men of the Gongsun Faction and their allies chanted simultaneously.

Matthias raised his hand, and the people went silent, as if they immediately understood their ruler.

"I gathered you all here today not as your emperor, but as someone who wants to protect the territory." Matthias said with a powerful voice, "Our dynasty is currently being assaulted by rebels and another army from Yuan is currently marching towards our western borders."

"With our current state, we will find it hard to defend the realm. But, fret not!" Matthias shouted, "I was entrusted by Emperor Qin to return the realm to its peak, or even strengthen it further, and I am determined to make that happen!"

"Your family, friends, mothers, children, companions, and nation needs you. We need your help." Matthias said solemnly, "The battles will be bloody, and many lives will be lost. But will you stand up and die, knowing that you fought for your country, or die as a slave, regretting that you didn't participate in this wild endeavour?"

"Join me! And we shall return Qin to its former glory!" Matthias asked with a shout.

"We shall follow you, Your Majesty!" The men of the Gongsun Faction knelt and cupped their fists towards Matthias, showing their acknowledgement of his authority.

With the Gongsun Faction kneeling, more than three-fourth of the people knelt, leaving those one-fourth have no choice but to kneel also.

"Then, we shall turn the rusted gears of our territory once more!" Matthias smiled and shouted, raising his right hand and materialising his ring to become a Tang sword.

"Glory to Qin, the new land who'll devour the sun!" Matthias yelled.

"Glory to Qin! Glory to His Majesty!" The people yelled.

After the speech, a mass army recruitment was established all over the territory. Men and women joined, and the final number reached an astonishing amount of 2 billion people, ⅓ of Qin's population.
