I, The Celestial Dragon, Rule The Heavens Through The Double Gate-Chapter 105: From Emperor to God

"These people who died deserve to die.

"The rest of you can be regarded as dedicated to your duty, so I will keep you."

"Understand?"

The calm words made the officials below shudder.

Their pupils tightened subconsciously.

Immediately, ecstasy followed.

Doesn't this mean that this existence, who is equivalent to a god, or even a god, has spared them, and they can continue to serve the empire—no, serve this powerful being?

This is much better than the previous Emperor.

Among other things, although some of them are a little corrupt, at most they are greedy for money and lustful, but the most important thing is that they can do their jobs and have the ability to govern.

They are not as bad as other nobles.

They wouldn't call themselves honest officials.

But at least most of them are like Spandine.

They know when and what to do.

It is because of this that they are ecstatic.

Compared with the little emperor, who only had eyes for his minister, following Kaos's rule, the future looks much better.

In the past, little emperors only had his minister, so the entire empire's government was basically controlled by one minister. If someone wanted a promotion, they couldn't even think about it—their future was blocked.

But now, there is no minister.

Will the road ahead be restored for them?

Most importantly, Kaos's short words also let them understand what he needed them to do.

So, the officials nodded one after another and responded ecstatically, "Yes, Your Majesty, we will not disappoint you."

At this moment, they finally had the chance to look at the corpses next to them.

The charred bodies made their hearts tremble, and they took deep breaths, feeling relieved that they had not aligned themselves with the dead.

One after another, they secretly muttered, "Sure enough."

As courtiers, the dead and the living knew each other, knew their details.

With just a glance, they could tell that the dead had one thing in common:

They were extremely corrupt.

They didn't treat civilians as human beings at all.

After realizing this, all the surviving officials suddenly understood.

They became more aware of what they should do next to please His Majesty.

Hearing their response, Kaos said in a deep voice, "You don't need to use the title 'Your Majesty' in the future. Remember, in this country from now on, there will be no kings and emperors—only god."

As he spoke, Kaos stood up and calmly looked into the distance.

"In the past, ordinary people in this country were the emperor's subjects."

"But in the future, I need them to become believers of the god!"

"Understand?"

Believers of the god?

Everyone was stunned.

No matter the world, anyone who is an official in the imperial court must have an extremely sharp mind.

Once again, just a short sentence caused the shrewd courtiers to widen their eyes and lower their heads in shock.

What does this mean?

Does His Majesty truly intend to become a god?

Or does he want to rule the country through faith?

No, something's not right.

Thinking of His Majesty's angelic form, the holy aura, the divine light that could heal all injuries, and his subordinates—who were clearly not Teigu users but possessed strength surpassing them—

A realization spread wildly in their minds!

"Gulp..."

"Could it be that His Majesty is truly a god?"

Once this thought arose, it could not be contained at all.

Especially when they remembered everything Kaos had shown them - his power that had defeated the strongest Teigu with a single blow.

The ministers affirmed their belief.

"Yes, yes, for sure."

"If he were not a god, how could His Highness easily destroy the strongest Teigu? It is the ultimate weapon in anyone's hands, capable of rebuilding a great empire. Only a god could resolve it so easily."

"If he were not a god, how could his subordinates—without Teigu—possess power beyond Teigu users?"

"If he were not a god, how could he appear as an angel?"

"If he were not a god, why would he need believers?"

As these thoughts raced through their minds, they were convinced.

This Highness is a god!

And if he is a god, then as long as they serve him and faithfully carry out his will, won't they be rewarded?

This is a gift from the god!

If they were fearful at first, now they were ecstatic and enthusiastic, even full of longing.

Kaos, of course, noticed this and chuckled. Instantly, he understood the reason behind their change in attitude. After a brief thought, he decided to seize the opportunity and continue.

"Mark my words."

"Those who defy me should know the consequences."

"But as long as you give your best, I don't mind showering you with some rewards in the future."

"No matter what it is—power, authority—it can even include eternal life."

Hiss!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone took a deep breath, growing even more excited.

Indeed.

His Highness is a god.

Eternal life—only a god could possess such power!

Swallowing their saliva, the officials quickly nodded, expressing their determination to serve His Highness diligently.

Seeing this, Kaos nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Alright, go back and return tomorrow. In the future, my believers will help me manage this empire. You only need to follow their orders."

"..."

Everyone nodded without any objections.

After all, His Highness is a god.

Since he is a god, how could he waste time dealing with the mortal world?

It is natural for his believers to handle such matters.

Moreover, some courtiers stroked their chins and began thinking seriously.

Since His Highness entrusted such an important role to his believers—

Does this mean that only by becoming one of His believers can they be valued by him?

For a moment, their eyes flickered, each formulating their own thoughts.

As they left the palace, they glanced at each other and chuckled.

Originally, they thought the empire would be overthrown and they would enter an age of darkness.

Now, it seemed—

Where was the darkness? This was an era of unprecedented brilliance.

"HAHAHA, it's a good thing we didn't associate with those guys. I always said that those people, who liked to abuse others and take pleasure in their screams, had twisted hobbies. Sooner or later, something would happen. Look now, it really did."

"Heh, same here. Fortunately, I never joined them."

"Yeah, they even wanted me to join, but I refused outright. Now, it seems that was the smartest decision."

"As expected of Lord Maka, truly wise."

"Hey, gentlemen, let's not talk about the past. I think we should focus on the properties of those who died. What do you think?" One man grinned and spoke in a low voice.

Hearing this, the others' eyes flickered with excitement.

But soon, one man worried, "Will His Highness be angry?"

"Probably not."

The first man shook his head and said in a low voice, "His Highness must be a true god above the heavens. If he wished, he could summon endless wealth from the mortal world. Why would he care?"

"Of course, we shouldn't be greedy. The main reason those guys died was their mistreatment of civilians."

"We can take their wealth, use a large portion to improve civilians' lives, and keep a small share for ourselves."

"Finally, with the help of the common people, we can spread the word that this is His Highness's favor and guide people to believe in His Highness. I think in this way, we should be able to bring many believers to His Highness? At that time, His Highness won't blame us?"

Hearing this, the others were taken aback.

Immediately afterward, one by one, their eyes lit up.

"Wonderful, wonderful."

"Three birds with one stone, it's wonderful."

"Hey, I also have a suggestion. We definitely can't keep all the good things for ourselves. Even if His Highness doesn't need them, those of us who work for His Highness must show our sincerity. So I suggest that we collect some rare treasures from the manor of the deceased and present them to His Highness. How about that?"

"Yes, this proposal is also acceptable."

"It's just... what about their wives? After all, even though those guys are dead, they all have children in their families."

"Catching them is easy, but deciding how to deal with them is the problem."

"Why don't we give them to His Highness?"

"Idiot, His Highness is a god above the heavens. How could he need such ordinary women?"

"This is the first time we've seen a god. How do you know His Highness doesn't need them?"

"Anyway, I think we should capture them first and leave the decision to His Highness. The rest has nothing to do with us. How about that?"

"That's a good idea."

"Let's do it."
