Years passed.

The first thing that was chaotic in the Union of Free City-States was there.

Not only the impact of the Holy See of Death, but also the birth of a new class.

Represented by factory owners and big businessmen, they control the prices and trade channels of bulk commodities, and urgently need to obtain more profits, break down the barriers of various countries, and abolish all kinds of customs and onerous taxes.

The ancient feudal system is no longer advanced.

The rebellion first arose from the coastal cities, and the upper echelons of the Free City-States League hurriedly mobilized troops to suppress it, including many transcendents.

However, the 'Steamlight' has come to the fore and has begun to increase its support for the rebels.

A new weapon of war has been developed.

That's a steam high-pressure rifle, a high-powered howitzer, and a full-coverage steam mech that can be operated by ordinary people!

The new army, armed with rifles and artillery, directly defeated the federal army.

And the full-coverage steam mecha gives ordinary people the strength to fight against the transcendent.

This mecha created by Jenny combined with the technology of ancient magicians has thick armor and powerful steam power, which is simply a slaughter for low-level physical side saints.

Even if you encounter a saint who is biased towards the heart and spirit, the imprint inside the armor plate can better protect the operator's life.

Moreover, such saints are extremely rare after all, and the 'steam light' also has real 'saints'.

As the battle enters the attrition phase, the Federation's disadvantages gradually appear.

Their transcendents die one by one, and it takes a lot of spirit and time to cultivate.

The rebels don't, and as long as the factories are still running, they can assemble parts into machines that can be sent to the battlefield by steam trains.

Anyway, there are many more ordinary people than the dead, and they can afford to die!

Therefore, by the third year of the war, the alliance of free city-states began to be untenable, and the Holy See of Death took the lead in reaching an agreement with the rebels to join the rebel camp at the cost of gaining missionary rights.

The alliance of free city-states was then completely defeated, and the cabinet was reshuffled, the upper house was reformed, and the nobility withdrew in large numbers, attracting more big businessmen into the center of power.

The Confederation of Free City-States was renamed the Federation of Steamlight and was the first to complete a fundamental transformation.

The Daughter of Steam, Jenny Black, gained enough faith and strength in this battle to officially ascend to the throne and become the goddess of steam!

After ten years of savings, the Steamlight Federation launched an attack on the kingdoms of Tallinn and Forrestal.

Even if the two countries joined forces, they still suffered defeat and retreat in the face of new armies.

At this time, the Church of the God of Knowledge and the Church of Nature began a secret peace with the Church of Steam.

The gaze of the gods is different from that of ordinary people.

The gods are a little concerned with faith, and the church is only concerned with dioceses and missionary rights, but not necessarily with secular powers.

Jenny also knew that it was impossible to completely expel a church supported by the true God, so she gave the wise sages the same authority to preach in the new kingdom as Mother Nature.

The entire continent of humanity was now unified and placed under the rule of the emerging Federation of Steamlight.

Only the four major churches of Steam, Death, Nature, and Knowledge are recognized as orthodox churches, and the others are all regarded as evil gods and illegal organizations, and all parties join forces to crack down on them.

The new empire was full of vitality, and a series of internal reforms, such as the abolition of tariffs and the development of commerce, soon created a prosperous era.

Not only that, but the development of commerce, the accumulation of goods, forced the empire to look for new colonies for dumping.

On the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Steam Federation launched a war against the Eastern Continent, completely sweeping away the main evil dependents entrenched on that continent.

A large number of people were relocated to the eastern continent for development.

Fifty years later, thanks to the efforts of many navigators, new nautical charts were drawn and the Northern Continent was discovered.

After the powerful navy of the empire knocked on the door, the orc kingdom was forced to sign contracts, open ports, set up concessions, and began a new round of colonization.

The light of steam gradually spread throughout the world.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the centennial celebration of the founding of the Steamlight Federation.

Inside the newly built City of Machines.

Streamers and pennants flutter in the wind, and the air is filled with a festive and cheerful atmosphere.

In the city center, around the largest steam square, a horse-drawn carriage slowly stops on the side of the road.

The door opened, and an old man with slightly gray hair stepped down, took off his hat, and stared at the huge statue of the goddess of steam in the center of the square.

Jenny Black...... I still lost to. ”

Valen looked at the huge statue and muttered to himself.

After all this time, he already had a guess about the identity of the Lady of Steam.

Thinking that he had lost at the hands of this woman one after another, he couldn't help but have some strange emotions in his heart.

'Worthy of being the chosen student of the immortal and becoming a god?' But that's fine...... The human world needs more righteous gods to protect ......'

Valen walked to the Sanctuary of Wisdom, thinking to himself.

There are a total of five god-level evil beings discovered today, the 'Lord of Dreams', 'Primordial Fire', 'God of Resurrection', 'Master of Arcana', and 'The Hidden One of the Moon'.

Among them, the 'Lord of Dreams' was the first to get out of trouble, and the most vests, while the 'God of Resurrection' was recently freed even though it was blocked by the goddess of steam.

It is already the limit to be able to strengthen the seal for a hundred years.

Fortunately, the 'Moon Hider' has always maintained neutrality, and there are four righteous gods, which is enough to suppress the evil gods and ensure the smooth operation of the world.

However, evil and pollution incidents are still emerging everywhere.

This requires the transcendents of the four major churches to work together with the members of the official enforcers.

"Bishop Valen, please come with me."

After entering the Church of Wisdom in the heart of the Church of the God of Knowledge in the City of Machines, several nuns immediately greeted him with a respectful expression: "His Majesty the Pope is waiting for you. ”

Their eyes were full of admiration, because this mechanical genius, loved by wise sages, and severely cracked down on all kinds of strange events, accumulated a strong reputation, and the call to become the next pope was very high.

……

out of this world.

Sulu stared at the celebration with a smile on his face.

The conquest of the Free City-States Alliance was enough to make Jenny Black a god, after all, she had come a long way on this path.

And in the next battle of the continent, becoming the leader of the Righteous God Alliance paved the way for her to go to the eighth order, otherwise she would not be able to suppress the dark serpent Orn for a hundred years.

"Not long ago, Jenny had officially been promoted to an eighth-order true god and began to hunt down Orn in the astral boundary...... In fact, the essence of the true spirit, coupled with the accumulation of the day after tomorrow, his path to the ninth order has already been opened. ”

"When He becomes the Ninth Order Master, it will be the time for me to be promoted!"
