What are the gods?

If this question is placed in the starry world, those believers do not need to say much, even those who do not believe in any gods, they will recognize that gods are unattainable, and at the same time, they are inseparable from words such as power, immortality, glory, authority, etc., which is extremely exciting and full of awe.

Moreover, as the controllers of the rules of the plane, the small group of great beings who occupy the pinnacle of the entire world, they are indeed worthy of such awe and worship.

It's just that for Qin Feng, the so-called gods are just a group of intelligent beings with great power, and there is nothing else to praise. He himself was a god now, and he knew much more about them than ordinary powerhouses and sentient beings, so naturally he didn't think they were very special.

Therefore, the request of Pope Nicholas III made him angry, if it weren't for the future plan, he would want to chop up Loki directly now!

"Your request, except for the last one, the emperor can agree."

Qin Feng tried to calm himself down: "The crown prince is the only heir of the empire, and there is no possibility of marrying outside, so there is no need to mention it again." ”

Loki frowned, and wanted to make another effort: "But Your Majesty, the conditions we promised ......"

Qin Feng's eyes froze, a trace of divine power overflowed, and he said coldly: "I don't need to explain anything to you, except for the one above the heavenly dome, I don't think there is anyone in your church who is qualified to negotiate conditions with me!" ”

Loki's face turned slightly pale, and he subconsciously swallowed back the words that followed. Just now, he felt the terrifying coercion of the vast abyssal sea from Qin Feng, which was a feeling that he could only have when facing the incarnation of the great god of war.

At this time, he reacted, talking to himself was a terrifying existence that was already extremely close to the realm of gods, if he really angered him, he was afraid that he would die in vain, after all, there was no one within the God of War Church who could balance the other party at all!

Even the incarnation of the great God of War had been killed by Qin Feng, how much weight could he have as a mere holy son?

Empress Brünnhilde glanced at him with disdain, and said leisurely: "Your Highness, don't you think that the relationship between the two countries is very good?" So much so that Nicholas III dared to make such a request? Or does the one above the heavenly dome feel that without its support, our Majesty would not be able to successfully become a god? ”

Loki swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "In terms of the current situation, the cooperation between Your Majesty and the Great God of War is a mutually beneficial choice. ”

Qin Feng said in a calm tone: "Then I want to see if without the support of the God of War, whether the Xingshan Empire will be destroyed, and whether I will fall in advance." ”

"Get out!"

Holy Son Loki's face suddenly turned red, his anger was almost uncontrollable, and Qin Feng's last two words were like a heavy slap in the face, and they slapped him in the face without mercy.

As the future helmsman of the God of War Church, there are big names in the entire Xingmeng World, how many times have they been humiliated like this?

"Your Majesty Qin Feng, you will pay enough for your words today!"

Lavlov next to him said hatefully, and the other high-level clergy were also as black as the bottom of a pot, if it weren't for the fact that this was on the territory of the Xingshan Empire, they would have the mind to turn their faces and do something on the spot.

Qin Feng smiled, waved his hand carelessly, and asked the palace guards to come over and invite them out. Since sooner or later both sides will have to fight to the death, the current politeness is naturally superfluous.

Anyway, the Star Fir Empire needs time to accumulate strength, and the God of War Church also needs time to prepare for a full-scale war, so it is basically impossible to fight now.

After getting rid of this hated holy son, the whole empire began to expand its armaments with all its might, and repair its internal affairs. Under the leadership of Qin Feng, a series of important national policies have been released one after another.

The scale of trade between the empire and many chambers of commerce alliances in different continents has grown rapidly, and Qin Feng, who is not short of money, has brought the demeanor of the local tyrant dog in the main world to the extreme, waving a lot of magic crystals and mythril to buy everywhere, almost everything he likes to buy, even if it is a resource that is not lacking in the country, as long as he can buy it back from outside with Mithril, he will not hesitate to sweep the goods.

As a result, the coastal areas of the empire are now extremely lively, and almost all the ports are in full swing, and large ocean-going trade fleets are loaded with a wide variety of ores, grains, silk fabrics, weapons and armor, magic materials and other resources, and they are constantly sailing to the Star Shanian Empire.

Judging from the monitoring images of reconnaissance satellites at high altitude, almost two-thirds of the continents in the entire Xingmeng World at this moment have a huge fleet sailing to the Xingmeng Continent day and night, and thousands of giant magic freighters are even lined up in a straight line of thousands of kilometers in the vast ocean, which is shocking and inexplicable.

The only thing that can be compared to this kind of pomp and circumstance is that a few years ago, when China in the main world took advantage of the low global oil prices, it bought crude oil from the Middle East on a large scale to replenish its domestic strategic petroleum reserves. At that time, countless 10,000-ton oil tankers sailed from the Middle East to the Indian Ocean, through the Strait of Malacca, and through the South China Sea to China's coastal ports. Most of the top 20 ports in the world in terms of freight throughput are in China.

Nowadays, the maritime trade of the Xingshan Empire is so developed that the port facilities in the past can no longer meet the demand, so Qin Feng specially ordered a huge amount of money to upgrade and expand all the hundreds of ports along the coast of the empire from the north to the Silver Moon Bay Strait and the south to the port of Jill on a large scale to meet the needs of the expanding maritime trade.

Of course, in addition to the largest and relatively lowest-cost sea trade, there are also a lot of floating magic energy transport fleets from various continents, and some of the more precious and urgent resources are transported in such a faster way, anyway, Qin Feng doesn't care about that freight.

In the satellite cities around the imperial capital, ultra-long-range teleportation magic arrays to various continents have been built and put into use, and a small number of the most precious goods can be transported in such a luxurious way. For example, high-quality slave resources, noble bloodline stunning female slaves, powerful warriors, dwarven craftsmen with exquisite forging skills, knowledgeable scholars, and so on.

In order to support the construction of many major projects within the empire, the demand for ordinary slaves in the empire has reached an almost endless level. Hundreds of thousands, millions, even tens of millions...... No matter how many young and middle-aged slaves those big slave traders would send, Qin Feng would order them to be collected in full and continue to place more orders.

The largest use of these slaves was to build roads, and as the empire expanded, the central government wanted to ensure effective control over the local area, and the country's road transportation was a top priority, so more than half of the slaves were busy in the road construction camps day and night.

The remaining slaves, some of them went to build the new imperial capital and surrounding city facilities, some of the good ones could enter the imperial army, and then arranged all kinds of miscellaneous labor, repaired bridges, built cities, logistics and transportation, and so on.

Although the massive use of slaves is somewhat immoral, it is undeniable that the prosperity and strength of the major powers and the contribution of the slave class cannot be erased. Just like the rice country of the main world, at the beginning of its founding, it also relied on a large number of black slaves and the bones of thousands of Chinese workers later, which laid the foundation for the rise of a great power.

The slave trade was originally a lucrative industry, and due to the increasing demand for slave resources in the Xingshan Empire, the entire slave market continued to rise. Therefore, the Slave Chamber of Commerce, which was dazzled by gold coins and magic crystals, and even those free mercenary groups, began to spend great efforts to hunt slaves everywhere, and then sold them to the Xingshan Empire at a high price.

For a time, the entire Xingmeng world was on fire, and the situation on almost all continents became turbulent.
