I.. Am God?

Chapter 156 Shen Tianyue



Matthias was perplexed by Isabelle's reaction and looked at the woman curiously. Finally, the woman raised her head, letting everyone see her golden eyes.

"I am Shen Tianyue, Heavenly Empress of The Ninth Heaven Heavenly Sacred Empire." She introduced with her heavenly voice that struck the strings of every heart inside the room.

Matthias' eyebrow rose when he heard her. When his knowledge deepened, although he couldn't just barge through higher realms of the universe, he knew that there is a heavenly realm that was divided into Ninety-nine heavens. Although he had successfully traced its existence, his tiny consciousness couldn't even enter the tenth one before being crushed by the Divinity inside.

The existences inside the Heavens are powerful divine beings, Some powerful beings could use just their aura to kill a god like him, which he became terrified of.

In the First to the Fifth Heaven that looks like just a normal world but has significantly archaic nature and different conditions for growth and light source made out of the Will's power, Divine Dominions that rule over mortal worlds and realms with faith reside. They're filled with different levels of faith, energy, and strength. True Immortals also exist there, with some existences even living for more than quadrillions of years.

Although those five heavens could be said to be filled with powerful beings, they're still within the acceptable range, with their forms being humanoid-shaped or in the form of a wisp. Then there's the Sixth to the Eight Heavens.

The existences there could be said to have monstrous shapes that could make any mortal being watch in horror even though it is doing good deeds.

From the abomination made entirely of rings, to a gate with wings, or an entire continent floating in the air with eyes at the bottom, or even just an eye with golden blood oozing from its opening that would destroy mortalkind, it could be anything and many more.

Then, there's the Ninth Heaven which is the place where Shen Tianyue resides. As it is higher than the Three Heavens that was previously mentioned, beings there are of a higher tier power– in a level that they could create worlds for themselves are as common as an Ox's hair there. At first, when Matthias discovered it, he was bewildered. But, thinking about the novels that he read when he lived as a normal boy, he thought that it was normal for them to exist, with their worlds not defying the laws by existing inside their cores.

Because of the abundance of gods there, the world was preserved and was even more beautiful than Paradise in ways that even he couldn't explain. But even though it is a beautiful place, it is still a terrifying place to be in.

From the wind that could shred and tear his body asunder, to its light source that would suppress him with faith energy so much that he would implode, to the plants that could slice a whole world with just its side, and to the ants that could terrorize mortals into killing themselves, although Ninth Heaven sounds 'heavenly' in name, it could produce terrible nightmares to those below them.

Although he couldn't enter the Tenth Heaven, His detached soul sent an image with unexplainable existences to him that transcends his understanding of the universe before being destroyed by the consciousness of the Tenth Heaven's Will.

Although he was hurt in the process, he still felt that it was worth it, because he discovered one important piece of information that heightened his view of his existence even more; The Tenth Heaven is of a higher plane of existence!

Now, seeing a woman from the Ninth Heaven that was only below the higher plane, he was intrigued as to why such a grand being was here.

"What brings you here, Empress?" Because Matthias is of a lower status, he unsurprisingly, had to bow towards her.

Because he was sensible, Shen Tianyue smiled with approval, "I am here to propose an engagement between us."

If Matthias was drinking he would've choked with water flowing from his nose, "Why would such a high being want to be engaged to me?" He asked.

"To sever my dominion from the Ninth Heaven." She asked with patience. "Huh? On what purpose would you do such a thing? Isn't the Ninth Heaven already a good place to be in for existences such as you?" Matthias asked.

Shen Tianyue smiled even more so, "You know the environment of the Ninth Heaven? Impressive." She then added, "That means you're what I am looking for."

Matthias was even more confused. "I would become your fiancé. In return, conquer this land and the entirety of the continent. Once you do so, you will have my karma as the Emperor of the Heavenly Sacred Empire. This would strengthen your divinity and godly authority even more." Shen Tianyue nodded and suddenly vanished.

Matthias gawked for a long time. He was given another burden, making him sigh. He then looked at Isabelle and Cane, "Follow me." He said as he strode to the Throne Hall.

Isabelle and the others were still absent minded about the encounter. For the three women, their souls and consciousness were already doing its job of protecting by erasing the exact figure of her and blurring her.

After a while, Isabelle turned to the three, "You three should go to the Pearl Courtyard first." She said gently. The three nodded and walked away with the servant maids escorting them.

When Isabelle and Cane arrived inside the Throne Room, they saw Matthias already sitting high on the seat. They stood below him and looked at him with a questioning gaze.

"Can I not do it?" Matthias whined.

Hearing his childish whine, Isabelle and Cane gawked with cringe. "Just do it, Your Majesty." Cane suggested.

"Well, your goal is to unite the old territory of the Devouring Sun Empire. You're just adding the whole Human Continent to your goal." Cane added.

"Are you hearing yourself, Cane?" Matthias glared at him, "The Human Continent that you're 'just adding' literally has a landmass equating to 30 Sun Devouring Empires! It would take years of effort to do so!" He yelled.

"Then, do so." Isabelle suddenly stated. "Huh?" Matthias turned to her with widened eyes.

"If you need to conquer all of the continent, do so." Isabelle said, "You have our support." She added.

"Isabelle, it isn't just about support! It would take enormous efforts and manpower just to conquer half of the continent, and then we would definitely face some sort of coalition of territories to go against us." Matthias explained.

"Yes. That would certainly be the case if you're a normal monarch." Cane said. Matthias wanted to sigh with relief when Cane added, "But you aren't."

"What do you mean?" Matthias narrowed his eyes. "You are a Creator God, Your Majesty. Resources aren't a problem, training soldiers is not a problem, heck, we could even make kingdoms surrender just by telling them your identity as a god!" Cane replied with enthusiasm.

Matthias then scolded him, "My powers are restricted by the Will of The Immortal Territories, you know that yourself!"

"Even though I am a god, there are still other gods and creators here, just like you said before! Relying on my godcraft to win isn't a solution. We still need capable generals, excellent logistics, intelligent heirs, and no corrupt people inside our government! It would take a long time for us to stabilize and make our foundations firm to face the hardships that we need to face. It would take at least a century for that to happen."

"Then let's develop for a century after uniting the old territory." Isabelle smirked. That was when they started going hardcore with Qin's rise.

A week later, the wedding was ready. Matthias married Isabelle as his First Empress, formally declaring Alexander as the Crowned Prince. Gail, who was already waiting for so long, has become the King of Xi and was given the west as their territory.

Another week later, after stabilizing Isabelle's position as the Empress, he then granted Gongsun Yue the position as the Gallant Consort, Luo Yueli as the Noble Consort, and Fei Qianwei as the Pure Consort.

He then placed inside them his seeds, not through intercourse, but through his power, he implanted the seeds, and successfully impregnated them.

Seeing that it succeeded, Matthias was joyful as he discovered that he didn't need to have sex just to produce offsprings. Although the Three Consorts were saddened that they didn't interest him, they were still happy to have his seeds growing inside them, solidifying their identity as one of the Emperor's women and having authority inside the Palace.

Another week after..

"Your Majesty, the Parliament has been summoned. It is time for us to leave for the Lotus Firmament." Cane bowed down and said to Matthias who was seated on the throne.

"Okay. Call upon the Empress, Consorts, and the Crowned Prince. We're leaving." Matthias ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cane bowed once again and left the room.
