Chapter 1470: 981 occupying the land of three continents

Qian!

After much thought, everyone finally thought of such an appropriate name for the country.

Qian is heaven, there is no more appropriate name than Qian, not just everyone thinks so, even Jiang Chen thinks the same.

What was Jiang Chen’s purpose in establishing the Imperial Court? To construct the Divine Court, and further more, to build a complete Heaven Court.

Heaven Court, that is Jiang Chen’s goal.

However, due to power limitations, Jiang Chen is currently hesitant to openly declare the establishment of the Heaven Court.

Otherwise, even if the Jade Emperor doesn’t mind, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign and Saint of Taiqing along with other mighty cultivators from Mystic Sect would fiercely resist.

The Heaven Court is the facade of the Mystic Sect, it is the authentic lineage recognized by the Heavenly Dao, the only institution qualified to govern the Chaos World. Only the gods consecrated by the Heaven Court are true gods of Heaven and Earth, who proclaim to act on behalf of heaven.

Even if Jiang Chen creates his own Divine Court, masters the divine arts of Investiture of the Gods, and possesses the great power to enshrine gods of Heaven and Earth, the gods he consecrates would not be considered official gods of Heaven and Earth, but rather gods of the Divine Court.

The difference is that the official gods of Heaven and Earth propagate the way on behalf of Heaven, executing the commands of Heavenly Dao. Whereas, the gods of the Divine Court spread the teachings on behalf of Jiang Chen, executing Jiang Chen’s commands.

More specifically, the authority of Heaven and Earth’s official gods encompasses the entire Chaos World. As for the gods of Divine Court, their authority is limited to areas governed by the Divine Court.

In conclusion, Heaven Court is supreme, all forces in the Chaos World, including the Mystic Sect, are nominally under the rule of the Heaven Court.

Hence, establishing another court and building a new Heaven Court crosses the bottom line of the Mystic Sect, which they would never allow.

Therefore, Jiang Chen currently cannot establish a Heaven Court on Earth to challenge the bottom line of the Mystic Sect.

Since Heaven is not suitable, Qian became the best choice. The character Qian not only demonstrates Jiang Chen’s ambition, but also expresses his expectations. On Earth it is Qian, but in heaven, it becomes Heaven.

The ultimate development of Qian Court is to become Heaven Court, evolving from human to divine, taking the place of Heaven Court.

"The character Qian is very good, let’s establish the national name as Qian!"

"Gentlemen, prepare yourselves. I will head to Li Mountain in three days to offer sacrifices to the Heaven and Earth and our ancestors, and proclaim to the world the establishment of the new dynasty."

Jiang Chen nodded, instructing everyone to start preparing for the national founding ceremony. Establishing a country isn’t just something a few people can decide on,

Firstly, one must offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth to gain their recognition. Secondly, to offer sacrifices to the ancestors, displaying one’s achievements and obtain their blessings.

Next, to officially proclaim to the world so that the countless commoners of the Nine States know what the current dynasty is, and who the emperor is. If it’s not declared, people might still consider themselves as subjects of the Han Dynasty, which would be quite awkward.

"Mount Tai!"

"We understand!"

When the group heard that they were traveling to Li Mountain, they were initially shocked and seemed to hesitate, but soon thought of something and quickly bowed to take their orders.

If it were any other emperor, they would definitely advise Jiang Chen to retract his decision. After all, Luoyang is far from Li Mountain and the expenses and impact of such a journey could potentially collapse the new dynasty.

However, just as they harbored such thoughts, they remembered how different Jiang Chen is from other emperors. The current emperor isn’t a weak individual but a Great Divine Transcendent with the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Times havechanged, the Human King wields supreme power, not to mention traveling to Li Mountain to offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, even traveling to Kunlun wouldn’t be a big problem.

The reason for choosing Li Mountain is naturally because it is one of Empress Nuwa’s Taoist Fields and also...

...where the main vein of the Chaos World resides.

Offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth and the ancestors naturally calls for a location close to them.

Li Mountain is the sacred dwelling of the Human Race’s Holy Mother, naturally extraordinary, combined with the main vein located there, it becomes even more remarkable. Within the entire east, there are only twelve main veins, and Li Mountain possesses one, considered highly favored by Heaven and Earth, thus very close to Heaven and Earth naturally.

Besides this, there is another layer of intent in choosing Li Mountain for offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth and the ancestors, as it is very close to Xianyang.

Jiang Chen plans to relocate the capital!

Luoyang, though historically significant and existing since the Ancient Times, for Jiang Chen, it is still too small, unable to contain the Human King, let alone the Human Emperor and the future Tiandi.

Therefore, Jiang Chen plans to relocate the capital to Xianyang, the battle fortress left by the First Emperor. This fortress city, comparable to a Great Divine Transcendent, matches Jiang Chen’s requirements.

Can the imperial capital of the Divine Court be the same as those of mundane dynasties? Naturally, it must display divine elements to reflect the majesty of the Human King.

"By the way, prepare yourselves, after this trip to Li Mountain, we won’t be coming back."

"I’m relocating the capital to Xianyang. After offering sacrifices at Li Mountain, we will directly head to Xianyang."

Jiang Chen announced the relocation, informing his subordinates to let them prepare.

Only Jiang Chen would dare to do this. For other dynastic empires, such significant decisions like relocating the capital wouldn’t be determined by a single decree from an emperor. Relocating the capital and just informing subordinates before doing it, unthinkable.

"Ah!"

"Relocating to Xianyang, not going to the Ancestral Land!"

The ministers in the hall upon hearing this showed disappointed expressions. They had predicted the relocation, but in their opinion, it should have been to the Ancestral Land of the Human Race, what does relocating to Xianyang mean.

According to ancient records, previous Human Kings ruled the world from the Ancestral Land.

The people in the hall had hoped to benefit from Jiang Chen’s favor and reside in the legendary Ancestral Land of the Human Race, but unexpectedly, Jiang Chen broke the conventions by choosing Xianyang, shattering their fantasy.
