Global Desertification: I am accumulating merit in another world

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Lishu, who opened his lips slightly and spoke some polite and courteous words. These words were as gentle as a spring breeze, expressing his respect and gratitude to everyone present, and also cleverly paved the way for the next important step - reward.

As Shen Lishu finished speaking, the whole scene suddenly became solemn. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the exciting moment to come. Finally, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the graceful Taohua walked forward lightly. In her hand was a well-written imperial edict of reward, which seemed to carry the glory and dreams of countless people.

The main recipients of this reward are still those respected elders. They were once in their prime and vigorous, and devoted their youth and passion to Qingli Kingdom without reservation. It is precisely because of their unremitting efforts and selfless dedication that Qingli Kingdom has been able to gradually rise from its former weakness to become a powerful country that attracts attention on this continent today.

Every old man has his own legendary story. They fought bravely on the battlefield and made great achievements; or they made suggestions in the court and pointed out the direction for the development of the country; or they worked silently among the people and promoted the progress of society with their wisdom and hard work. Their achievements are not only engraved in the long history of Qingli Country, but also deeply engraved in the hearts of every citizen.

Secondly, posthumously honor those dead martyrs, such as Yueya and Xiaoman.

When the gorgeous peach blossom finished reading out all the awards word by word, the entire audience instantly fell into a boiling excitement. Everyone present knelt on the ground respectfully, and they shouted "Long live the emperor" in unison, the sound resounding through the sky, as if to break through the sky.

Shen Lishu, standing on the high platform, smiled. He gently raised his hand and motioned everyone to stand up. Then, his deep and bright eyes swept across everyone like a flash of lightning. At this moment, time seemed to freeze. Everyone held their breath and quietly waited for what this wise monarch would say next.

Finally, Shen Lishu spoke slowly. His voice was deep and magnetic, like the sound of a bell from ancient times, which made people feel awed. "The fact that Qingli has achieved such a brilliant success today is not the work of me alone, but is due to the efforts of all of you present here. It is because of your hard work and unremitting efforts that Qingli has been able to prosper and enjoy peace and prosperity. Here, I would like to sincerely thank you for your great contributions to the country."

As soon as the words fell, the people who had stood up were deeply moved again. Their eyes were moist, and their hearts were filled with indescribable excitement and gratitude. So, these people knelt down in fear again, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, may you live forever! May our emperor have great blessings and a long life!"

After the ceremony, it was time to offer sacrifices to the heavens. Shen Lishu, the goddess of worship, took the lead and walked towards the altar of sacrifices to the heavens, followed by the ministers and representatives of the people. The altar of sacrifices to the heavens was tall and solemn, surrounded by smoke.

Arriving in front of the altar, Shen Lishu personally lit the incense and candles, with an extremely pious expression. Just as he was about to perform the great ceremony of worship, the sky suddenly darkened, and there seemed to be a strange sound coming from the dark clouds. As everyone was astonished, a strong light flashed, and a woman wearing a gorgeous purple dress with an unclear face appeared in the air.

There really is a goddess!

Shen Lishu looked at the powerful woman in the air and felt that she looked familiar.

Wait! Isn't that the portrait of the goddess that the innkeeper brought out in Jiangzhou City?

Take her hand... Shen Lishu looked over quickly, but found that the hands were hidden in the sleeves and she couldn't see them.

The girl only appeared for ten seconds without saying a word. She nodded to Shen Lishu imperceptibly and then disappeared.

However, the court officials behind him were extremely excited. "The king is indeed a celestial emperor star, and he can even summon a goddess to descend. Long live the king!"

"Long live the king!"

"Long live the king!"

The shouts became louder and louder, so Shen Lishu had no choice but to suppress his doubts and continue to preside over the sacrifice.

After the sacrifice, it was almost noon. Shen Lishu returned to the palace to rest for a while, and then continued the next process to offer sacrifices to the royal family.

Although Shen Lishu and his family are outsiders and there is no such thing as a royal family, their original bodies do exist and they are of the same clan as the villagers.

When all the tasks were completed successfully, time had quietly passed until the evening. Shen Lishu didn't even have time to enjoy a sumptuous dinner, and could only hurriedly eat a few mouthfuls of food to fill her stomach. Then, she quickly got up and returned to her room, opened the closet and picked out a gorgeous purple dress.

This dress seemed to be tailor-made for her, with delicate tailoring and smooth lines. When she put it on, the soft fabric fit her graceful figure like flowing water, perfectly outlining the feminine and gentle temperament. However, at the same time, the deep and noble purple gave her a sense of majesty that could not be ignored, making her like an emperor standing high above, which made people feel awe.

As for why this world has respected purple since ancient times, Shen Lishu secretly speculated that perhaps it was because the legendary goddess once wore such a beautiful purple dress.

Because of this, people are full of reverence and yearning for this color, and regard it as a symbol of dignity and power.

After changing clothes, the luxurious float outside was ready. Shen Lishu sat on the float, surrounded by the crowd, and went along the palace to the central street.

Around her were dozens of graceful and charming girls, each of them looking like a fairy descending from the earth, light and graceful, making people fall for them and salivate over them.

These girls were all people who were saved by Shen Lishu. Some of them were girls like Ali who were born in a dark room.

Today, even the beauties Taohua and Cuiwei have dressed up carefully, wearing gorgeous clothes and pearls and jade on their heads, making them look even more charming and beautiful.

Zhou Aotian was guarding outside and felt jealous. When she got married, Sanniang was not dressed so beautifully.

The beautiful girls attracted a lot of discussion among passers-by.

"These are the girls hiding in the king's backyard, they are so beautiful!"

"Hush! Are you looking for death? We can't afford to care about these girls. I heard that someone once broke into the backyard without knowing the consequences and was whipped to death by the king!"

Yes, although these girls have no official positions, no one dares to bully them, and Shen Lishu protects them the most.

She sat on the float and looked at the crowds of people below, which were as densely packed as sardines in a can, and suddenly felt bored.

I felt like a monkey, being watched by everyone. Besides, it was easy for a stampede to happen in such a situation.

Kidnappers and thieves like to commit crimes in such situations.

so boring.

Shen Lishu was watched like a monkey all night long.

Xiao Mu stood on a high place and looked at the woman below, his eyes full of tenderness.

Only Yao Muchuan was worried, "Master, it seems that the power of Qingli Kingdom is far beyond our imagination. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to become the best in the world in the future."

Xiao Mu said calmly, "Why do I have to be the best in the world?"

"Ah?" Yao Muchuan was stunned. "Aren't our efforts over the years just to help you conquer the world?"

"I am willing to rise up in order to destroy Ningguo. As for whether I become the emperor or not, what does it matter?"

Yao Muchuan felt despair in his heart. What was the point of our persistence over the years?

He turned and left, for the first time disregarding the etiquette between the emperor and his subjects, leaving Xiao Mu alone.

The parade lasted until late at night. Shen Lishu rode on the float around Phoenix City and then returned to the palace through the main gate.

The day after the parade ended,

The second round of peace talks began, and this time each envoy brought enough people with him, intending to show his power.

Nuan and the Shenwei Army, who had already surrendered, did not participate and just watched the show from the sidelines.

The lineup on Qingli's side is even more luxurious, still led by Shen Xingshu and Feng Wu, assisted by others. Everyone is ready to show their skills.
