In October of 962 AD, Duncan led eight thousand cavalry to decisively defeat the remaining forces of the Liao Kingdom on the Mongolian steppe. That sa year, he conquered the Mongolian tribes and was hailed by the steppe tribes as the ’Son of Eternal Heaven’.
In February of 963 AD, the Northern Song general Pan i, who had surrendered, pacified the Tangut.
A month later.
The Rebel Army raised eight thousand troops to attack Ganzhou Uyghur alongside Pan i. By the ti Duncan returned after destroying the Liao Kingdom, Pan i and the other generals had already reached Yi Prefecture, which is known in later generations as Hami. At this point, moving west along Lop Nur, there erged a na familiar to everyone — ’Kucha’.
In June of 963 AD, the Liao Kingdom was annihilated, Dali submitted, and various Tibetan tribes sent envoys to offer tribute.
At this ti, the Central Plains had essentially achieved the Great Unity.
The only restriction on Duncan’s power was actually the terrain surrounding the Central Plains. He wanted to attack southward from Jiaozhi to pacify the Angkor Dynasty, known in later tis as Vietnam, but because the distance was too great, he needed naval transport for logistical support.
In the year 964 AD, the Year of the Rat, the world was auspicious.
Duncan led thousands of elite cavalry on a long-distance raid, pursuing the remnants of the Western Liao, and within the sa year, he conquered the remaining Mongolian tribes, sealing Langjuxu Mountain and watering horses on the shores of Lake Baikal.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to continue fighting upward, but this era’s Far East truly was a barren land, capturing it had little value, and his great expedition was essentially forcibly halted by geographical factors.
Above the Dinsion.
Duncan’s consciousness had returned to his true form, and in front of him was the projection page of the fifth Human Form. With a slight movent of his consciousness, it imdiately split into three, revealing three completely different places.
The first projection page is the real world, Yanjing, which is the capital city of later generations. Duncan’s Human Form is preparing to establish the capital in Yanjing. Since the national title was established as the Ming Dynasty, the duty of guarding the nation’s gate by the Emperor must be inherited, and managing Liaodong is a major future direction.
The second projection page is the Celestial Court, which can only be considered Grotto Heaven Blessed Land. After all, it is a plane evolved from the origin, the mythological property is not strong, everything is created from nothing, and the myth itself has limited interference with the real world.
The third projection page is the Underworld, with countless deaths and injuries in the Central Plains from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms to the present. The Underworld is almost overflowing with resentful spirits and evil ghosts, all of which need to be cleansed. Coupled with the continuous wars in the Central Plains, the souls of the dead must be appeased to stabilize the yin-yang realms.
"Destruction is always easier than construction."
Duncan rubbed his forehead, first opening the third projection page, then issued an order to the primordial spirit differentiated from his Human Form inside — "Appoint the Five Directional Ghost Emperors to suppress the six paths of reincarnation."
For Duncan, going to war is as simple as eating and drinking; he fought all the way to water his horse by Lake Baikal without taking a break.
However, if Duncan were to govern a country and handle political affairs, he wouldn’t prefer it; he’d rather go find Lady Huarui for a rest.
Whether in the East or West, Duncan doesn’t enjoy governing national affairs.
So there was no surprise.
An incapable ruler steps down, an enlightened ruler steps up.
Duncan directly entrusted his Human Form to the Dinsion Space for managent, and not only entrusted the Human Form but also entrusted the two primordial spirit incarnations of the Celestial Court and the Netherworld together.
He owed the Heavenly Dao a large amount of high-interest debt, naturally relying on delegation to repay it. How could he personally work painstakingly to repay the debt?
Don’t even think about it.
If he had free ti, he’d rather go out on an alternate account to roam around. Isn’t it more pleasant to embrace fragrant and soft beauties in the harem for no reason?
—— "Establish a Celestial Court tradition, complete the mythological system."
Lazily reclining on a soft sofa, with a flicker of his Divine Thought, a goblet of fine wine appeared out of nowhere before him. His Creation Technique at the Dinsion Layer had already beco quite skilled; however, the Dinsion Space could accommodate no other life other than himself.
On the Dinsion Layer.
The sofa on which Duncan lay instantly turned into a magnificent hot spring pool. With a movent of his will, the world outside also underwent changes. The originally luxurious mansion transford into an opulent Roman palace. Amidst the rising mist, countless drinks and delicacies floated before him from the bubbling hot springs.
He made a gesture, and projection pages surfaced before his eyes. Duncan pondered for a mont and inputted a managent instruction on one of the pages — "Appoint the gods of the Thunder Ministry, permitting worthy mortal practitioners to be granted the Duke of Thunder god position."
After so thought, he continued to issue an instruction: "Monitor changes in spiritual energy tides; if mythological resurgence occurs, imdiately activate the Heavenly Dao monitoring system."
There were practically no deities within the entire Celestial Court, all the divine positions lay vacant.
—— "Pantheon (Mighty Divine Power)!"
—— "Divine King: Heavenly Emperor - Shaohao (Human Form appearance)."
—— "Main God: Thunder Ministry, Fighting Ministry, Fire Ministry, Plague Ministry, Wealth Ministry, etc."
—— "Subordinate Deities: Underworld, City God, Land God, etc."
The Oriental deities are nurous. Even though Duncan slightly streamlined them, many deities are actually rely the status of Otherworld Divine Attendants. True Gods ford by actual Incense Faith didn’t exist in large numbers within the Celestial Court system currently; many positions were just preparatory Main God statuses.
"First, I must complete the Main Gods, but since the spiritual energy tide hasn’t erupted, it seems unnecessary to dispatch that many deities for managing affairs," Duncan pondered while resting his chin.
The only factor needed to supplent the Fighting Ministry in the Celestial Court is a large-scale incursion of Outer Heaven Demons into the real-world plane.
The condition for imdiately supplenting positions in the Thunder Ministry of the Celestial Court is a large-scale ergence of supernatural entities due to spiritual energy tides in the mortal world, requiring the Duke of Thunder to occasionally smite so.
