It was already afternoon when we climbed the stairs and reached the temple on top of the holy mountain.
Standing in front of the temple, the first thing Li Yuanming saw was the grand, gorgeous and luxurious temple. Every corner here was covered with patterns, whether it was steps or sculptures, window panes or wall corners, most of the patterns were carved with gold. Some of the statues were simply made of gold.
Afterwards, Li Yuanming looked at the Pope in front of him. The Pope led many bishops, priests and others to greet him. The scene was also grand.
After meeting, they first exchanged some meaningless pleasantries and greetings, and only got to the point after entering the main hall.
Li Yuanming took out the covenant, a relatively ordinary covenant. After all, Shang State and Golden Sword Kingdom were too far apart and did not know each other well enough, so they would not sign any in-depth covenants at the beginning; this first covenant was more like an "establishment of diplomatic relations". To be precise, from today on, Shang State and Golden Sword Kingdom officially established diplomatic relations.
After the Pope signs it, the covenant officially takes effect, and a mysterious constraint is imposed. This is the effectiveness of the covenant, which is actually an oath between countries.
Of course, since it is an oath, there will be times when it is broken, and there is no 100% guarantee that an oath between countries will be enforced. There are many ways to circumvent an oath, and sometimes, as long as you can afford the cost, you can forcibly tear up the agreement.
Okay, that’s getting off topic. Anyway, the diplomatic relations between the Golden Sword Kingdom and the Shang Kingdom have been formally established.
After returning to his residence, Li Yuanming made a new move. He planned to hold a forum and an auction. On the surface, he wanted to integrate into the spiritual world and let the spiritual world understand the Shang Kingdom; but the implicit meaning was that the Shang Kingdom wanted to expand its influence in the spiritual world.
Because there are absolutely no restrictions on the participation conditions of this forum and auction.
The forum is open to everyone. As for the auction, it is based on the spiritual world's high-level currency unit, the 'Divine Power Crystal'. Divine Power Crystal, referred to as Divine Crystal, is solidified divine power - well, this is a nice way of saying it, but it is actually a solidified alternative true essence.
This is the crystal that the spiritual world practitioners condense the power in their bodies under the guidance of the gods in the dark. It is a precious material and relatively rare, and it is also a currency. With the divine crystal, you can perform divine arts that do not belong to you. This is the difference between the spiritual world and the fairyland.
Divine crystals vary in levels and have different attributes, but the spiritual world naturally has a mature method of judgment and classification.
The news that people from the Shang Kingdom in another world and the fairyland were coming again and that they would hold a forum and an auction spread at a storm speed.
When the Golden Sword Kingdom heard the news, they were quite angry - the Shang Kingdom was too restless, and they were stirring up trouble just after signing the covenant. However, after the Pope learned the information, he sighed and let it go. This matter was simply unavoidable.
However, the Pope was vaguely worried that Li Yuanming, who suddenly appeared, was not an easy person to deal with!
In the past few days, the Golden Sword Divine Kingdom has learned about Li Yuanming's past—he was once the prime minister!
