This unusual event spread throughout the land at an unbelievable speed.

On the day the Great Ren Emperor was offering sacrifices to heaven and his ancestors, a meteorite fell from the sky and landed precisely on the mausoleum!

If this wasn’t a sign of losing the Mandate of Heaven, what was?

A nation that even heaven does not support has no future whatsoever.

As a result, many of the local common people fled.

“If heaven is against you, we don’t want to suffer with you.”

At the same time, everyone once again mocked the Taoist Sect, laughing at their blindness for choosing another Emperor who was not favored by heaven.

After this development, it seemed likely to become another Great Luo.

They said they were choosing an Emperor on behalf of heaven?

It was a complete joke!

……

On the other side, the various Innates and generals who had been campaigning in the Great Liang Dynasty had mostly returned, and Lin Beifan was rewarding them for their merits.

Those who wanted to learn divine skills were granted divine skills, those who desired elixirs and weapons were given elixirs and weapons, and those who wished to improve their cultivation and strength in the Painting Realm were allowed to go to the Painting Realm.

In short, the goal was to have them quickly enhance their strength and bolster the foundation of Great Xia.

With that, the year’s military campaigns had essentially come to an end.

What they need to do next is to assimilate the vast territories we have conquered, ensuring that all the people are loyal and content.

Now, as autumn has arrived, it’s the season of harvest.

Heshen entered with an excited face: “Your Majesty! Great news! The best news ever!”

Lin Beifan smiled and asked, “Minister, what has got you so excited?”

“Your Majesty, we have had another bumper harvest of grain this year!”

Lin Beifan chuckled, “Isn’t that quite normal? When has our Great Xia ever not had a bumper harvest?”

“Your Majesty, this time it’s different!”

Heshen, thrilled, gestured wildly, “Because, this season, our grain yield per unit area has doubled!”

“Is that even possible?” Lin Beifan showed a skeptical expression at the right moment.

“Your Majesty, it’s absolutely true. How could your humble servant dare to deceive you with such matters? Please look…”

Heshen pulled out a rice stalk from his sleeve, laden with golden rice grains, resembling a small broom.

The yield of grain was indeed twice as much as before.

“Your Majesty, this is a rice stalk from our fields!”

Heshen said with joy written all over his face: “Look at how big the ears are and how full the grains are. All the rice fields across the country have produced grain like this!”

“Indeed, it looks wonderful and is very nice,” Lin Beifan said while fondly handling the stalk.

“Your Majesty, do you know what this means?”

“What does it mean?” Lin Beifan inquired.

Heshen, overwhelmed with excitement, said, “It means that Your Majesty is the ruler destined by heaven, hence blessed by the heavens, allowing our Great Xia’s fertile lands to yield such high-producing grains!”

Lin Beifan chuckled inwardly, what heavenly blessing?

It was clearly his own doing!

A year ago, he had used the Hand of Creation from the Empire Sandbox to upgrade all the crops in the nation to hybrid rice.

The biggest feature of hybrid rice is its high yield.

Even in harsh environments, it can produce a large amount of grain.

With Great Xia enjoying favorable weather and fertile lands, coupled with the hard work of the common people, hybrid rice was naturally planted and a massive harvest was reaped.

“Minister, what you say is very true. The heavens are indeed looking after me!” Lin Beifan laughed heartily.

“Your Majesty!”

Heshen continued excitedly, “Our grain yield per unit area has doubled, and with the addition of newly conquered lands, our total grain production this year is preliminarily estimated to be xx catties, which can fully support a population of 400 million! Currently, our country has about 250 million people, so our grain supply is more than enough for the entire nation!”

“This is wonderful news!”

Lin Beifan was extremely excited, “Minister, quickly announce this to everyone, let the ruler and the people rejoice together!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Heshen took the order and left.

At that moment, a voice echoed in Lin Beifan’s mind.

“Ding! As the player’s national power has grown, your strength has been synchronously enhanced, and you are rewarded with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Art!”

“The Nine Heavens Mysterious Art is an extremely terrifying technique, divided into 9 levels. Cultivating to the highest realm results in the Mysterious Yin Sacred Body! It renders one immune to all poisons, impervious to swords and spears, able to extinguish fire with a breath and freeze water… One can go without sleep or food for 500 days and still not die!”

Lin Beifan quickly learned this technique and mastered it instantly.

His body was already a treasure, impervious to divine weapons, and now with the addition of the Mysterious Yin Sacred Body trait, it became even more powerful.

Reaching the Supreme Grandmaster realm, advancing even a small step forward was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Yet, he could still continue to progress.

This gave him more confidence for when he would face the Four Sacred Beasts in the future.
