Yang Qi’s divine will permeated the immortal worlds, using King Heaven-Devourer’s talismans to suck up all of the countless individuals that lived there, and bring them to his God Legion Paradise. That would ensure that the people didn't suffer any adverse side effects from the magical laws of the god world.

After all, only mid Terrifying experts could actually get into the god world without dying instantly.

Yang Qi had experienced some difficulties when he’d first arrived, but his friends and family had his protection, and suffered no such consequences.

As they arrived in the God Legion Paradise, they shivered as they were instantly brought up to the mid Terrifying level. In fact, some of them immediately reached the Lesser God level.

With the destiny Yang Qi had at his command, he could take a puny Quasi-God and ordain them as a God-Lord. Considering that, making his friends and family Lesser Gods took almost no effort at all.

In fact, it would take minimal effort to ensure that hundreds of millions of people reached either the Quasi-God or Lesser God level.

Yang Qi took many people and made them citizens of his empire. All citizens would benefit from the destiny of the empire, and it would allow their cultivation bases to rise rapidly to, at a very minimum, the Lesser God level.

That was one of the benefits of fusing the Sovereign Lord’s ocean of faith with the destiny of his empire.

RUMBLE!

As Yang Qi pulled his friends and family from the impure lands into his God Legion Paradise, the Ancient Road to the Gods trembled as though it might collapse at any moment. Despite how strong Yang Qi was, he could only sustain this effort for a short while. In the end, he wasn’t actually a half-Annulled expert.

However, even in the short bit of time that had passed, he had already pulled a quintillion people up. That was no small number; it was already many times the existing population of the Sage Monarch Empire.

Most were either Quasi-Gods or Lesser Gods, although some were in the mid Terrifying level, which meant that even just surviving would be difficult for them at the moment.

After ensuring that they were all ready, Yang Qi sent them into the depths of the Sage Monarch Empire.

Within the Everlasting Aegis, they were met by the sage monarch magistrates and other representatives, then shown to where special lands had been prepared for their use.

Primal-chaos paleo-energy had been used to create endless resources that they could use for their cultivation.

“Friends from the immortal worlds,” a sage monarch magistrate said, “you’re now in the god world. Our great leader, His Majesty Yang Qi, the very same one who unified the immortal worlds, has established a grand empire, of which you are now a part. For now, you only need to focus on rest and recovery....” It made things easy that most of these people were already familiar with Yang Qi, or had even been close to him. As a result, it wasn’t hard for them to adjust to their new circumstances.

In fact, before long, the sage monarch magistrates were taking them to be integrated into the existing society of the Sage Monarch Empire.

They were welcomed with open arms. The people of the Sage Monarch Empire knew that Yang Qi had reopened the Ancient Road to the Gods and brought numerous Ascendants to bolster the population of the empire. And such a boost in population would only help the empire grow.

The empire’s destiny and resources had already been in a perfect state. But as the Ascendants arrived, they began to pray and work on their cultivation; therefore, what little destiny they drew on was immediately made up for, or even surpassed.

Ascendant were essentially living resources. After all, in the past, it had been common for the various nations in the god world to capture Ascendants and use them for the nations’ benefit.

RUMBLE!

A few hours later, the Ancient Road to the Gods closed. Yang Qi had moved virtually everyone from the lower worlds up to the god world, to the point where almost no one had been left behind. And now, he had an uncountable amount of Ascendants.

Of course, the massive influx of Ascendants meant that the resource stockpiles of the empire would start shrinking. However, there was still plenty to be taken from the Halls of Heaven. Besides, it wasn’t as if Lesser Gods would consume that many resources. A single Paramount God would use as many resources as a hundred billion Lesser Gods.

Of course, that meant that as the Ascendants’ cultivation bases rose, the resources would start disappearing more and more rapidly.

Thankfully, the destiny of Yang Qi’s empire ensured that the Everlasting Aegis was continuously expanding. And as it took in more primal-chaos paleo-energy, it could produce more resources.

As long as there was primal-chaos paleo-energy to absorb, there would never be a shortage of resources.

As such, the Ascendants weren’t worried about resources, and could instead focus on their cultivation, their prayers, and their social interactions.

A golden age of cultivation was flourishing in the Everlasting Aegis.

The Ascendants were as harmonious as an ant colony. They didn’t fight or cause any problems. After all, a Paramount God could wipe them all out in an instant. However, as they grew stronger and stronger, and received all sorts of training, they began rising through the levels.

One after another, they became Greater Gods, Consummate Gods, and Perfect Gods. Some even developed Unbounded will convergence.

‘The Ancient Road to the Gods collapsed in the end,’ Yang Qi thought. ‘But that doesn’t matter. What remains behind in the immortal worlds isn’t important to me. Without powerful cultivators down there, the people will probably have much better lives.’ Nodding in satisfaction, he sent an incarnation of will into the Everlasting Aegis to meet with his friends and family, and explain matters to them.

Interestingly, after the Ancient Road to the Gods disappeared, no traces of it remained behind. The Immortal Dao Age was now destined to be nothing but dead water. Perhaps the population would grow again, eventually spreading out to inhabit the countless immortal worlds that had been spat out by the Great Necropolis. But in the end, resources would dwindle, and that time period would become dead, a forgotten nothing in the river of history.

Yang Qi’s friends and family would have suffered that fate eventually. But thankfully, he had opened the way for them to come to the god world and be saved from that inevitable crisis.

Yang Qi immediately had his friends and family take leadership positions. A quintupling of population was incredible, and there just weren't enough sage monarch magistrates to handle everything.

Of course, there were other human government officials that had been trained to handle matters. It would be enough temporarily. Although the minor government officials couldn’t handle things as well as the sage monarch magistrates, at least it would prevent total chaos. And it would also allow destiny to grow.

Time had been adjusted in the Everlasting Aegis. For every two hours that passed in the god world, a year went by in the Sage Monarch Empire.

Every day in the god world was over ten years inside the Everlasting Aegis. After about twenty years passed in the empire, things had reached a stable state.

The Ascendants had been sent to various parts of the empire, and although they had reduced the resource stockpiles by half, they were growing stronger and stronger.
