When the war came to an end and the "Balance Holy Emblem" rose high above Antwerp City.

A majestic woman, with an angel halo like a sun crown on her head and three pairs of platinum wings spread behind her, dressed in regal robes and diamond heels, sat cross-legged in the clouds above the Tulip Islands.

Supporting her snow-like cheeks with jade-like arms, her dazzling golden hair and shimmering emerald starry eyes were beyond human words to describe even a fraction of her beauty.

In the vision of this great existence, across the La Manche Strait, the forms in the Material World gradually vanished, leaving only information, symbols, representations, clusters of light... the most fundamental essences of the world.

Bang!

Suddenly, the red national fortune representing the Hilus Empire boiled like hot oil, exploded at that moment, and rapidly drained away in all directions.

Part of it transformed into streams of golden light, condensing into mountains of gold and seas of silver above the "Lowland Republic," symbolizing the successful founding of this nation led by capitalists.

The majority transformed into blue streams adorned with golden edges, merging into a bright tulip sea above the Tulip Islands, with the Phaletis Kingdom being the strongest. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

A grand wave surged towards the distant shores of the Black Sea, rushing towards the western boundary of the human-known territory, the "New Continent."

The gold was stronger, the blue weaker, both forming a sea of tulips surrounding a "Thorny Crown Sea Serpent" emblem, its strength second only to Phaletis.

Then, both fortunes joined into one, spreading eastward.

Easily defeating the remnants of Hilus's national fortune above the "Peacock Islands," known to humans, and taking root there.

Thus, from the western New Continent to the Southern Continent, to the Source Continent, to the eastern Peacock Islands, there was gold and blue everywhere!

It's said that Hilus fell, Tulip thrived, not at all inaccurate.

And that's not all; as the global power scopes spread over every continent, a supreme, radiant light suddenly descended from heaven, landing into the angel's sun crown.

The next moment.

Swoosh—!

A Spiritual Wind swirled.

Galley Ships, Dragon-Head Ships, Flute Ships, Karack Ships, Galleon Ships, New-style Sailing Battleships, Galliot-type Heavy Cruisers, "Bregentine-type" Two-Masted Mixed Sail Ships, and the newly launched Flying Clippers... ship shadows and their crew circulated around the angel.

Rustle...

Every sea engaged in [Navigation] across the Material World, Black Sea, Treasure Sea, Golden Sea, Broken Star Sea, Eritrean Sea... responded.

Countless indistinguishable voices of humans and sea creatures passionately shouted in unison:

"Sea Monarchy! Sea Monarchy! Sea Monarchy!..."

[Divine Position] refers to certain worldly matters that Gods understand and control, corresponding to world permissions. This mystical authority bestows great power beyond the God itself.

[Natural Divine Position] types and definitions were set at the world's inception, nearly unchanged.

[Humanized Divine Position] exists only in societies of special intelligent beings. When a worldly matter significantly impacts humans, and its followers understand it deeply, with enough believers, as time passes, the [Divine Position] it represents will slowly birth itself in human faith.

Compared to the neutral [Natural Divine Position], [Humanized Divine Position] may expand or shrink rapidly as human societal levels change.

In this war, the Tulip Alliance had laid the foundation for a new overlord with a resounding victory.

Through the efforts of followers, the power of "Queen and Goddess of Navigation" Hekater had greatly increased, directly establishing "Sea Monarchy"!

Snap! Snap! Snap!...

Raising her head, the True God's incarnation "Royal Authority Angel" showed an enchanting smile that made the whole world blush, gently clapped her hands:

"Among the Seven Gods, only we two are purely humanized Gods; Sessi, let me see, what do you intend to do using this new political organization form?"

Then she turned her gaze to the distant east:

"Huh, productivity and production relations? Interesting little one!"

...

Eastern boundary, Peacock Islands.

Bang! Bang! Bang!....

Occasional gunfire erupted in the city, yet it was merely a few Hilus soldiers fruitlessly resisting, while the aboriginal Negritos and the faith group Varna Sect had already surrendered at the sight of the approaching Tulip soldiers.

Even before the Tulip soldiers knocked on the door, with unmatched swiftness, they took the lead to open the gates and surrender the city—was no one able to invade the islands before the Peacock Islands people surrendered?

Numerous fully-armed alliance soldiers cleared the roads, occupied key points and defenses, then lined up orderly at the city gate.

Having returned the "Vest" of "Thunderous Dragon Roar" Sakanni to Liweina's Royal Palace, Aiven had already returned to his original form.

Surrounded by high-tier Transcendents and a large group of alliance Generals, draped in a cloak, and belted with the [World Conqueror's Sword], he strode into the largest city at the west end of the strait, Bandaraceh City.

Suddenly.

Due to the high-tier Transcendent battle, especially Aiven's full exertion, the sky was chaotic with clouds, strong winds, and endless thunderstorms, a perfect circle quietly opened, allowing a beam of warm golden sunlight to shine through.

Precisely enveloping Aiven standing at the center of the crowd.

The advancing group suddenly paused.

"Oh, by the Goddess!"

"Supreme 'Sea Monarchy'!"

"..."

Rustle...

Countless devout followers of the Goddess within the Navy were spiritually inspired and suddenly kneeled towards Aiven, silently calling out the holy name. Kneeling on one knee for the King, on both knees for the God, at this moment they were all prostrated on the ground.

Even the non-believing Wizards beside Aiven lowered themselves, but Aiven, whose stature was as towering as a mountain, lifted his head and widened his eyes towards the source of light.

A dazzling figure, indistinct but illuminating the world, descended with wings along the beam of light from the sky.

Aiven felt his cheeks being gently cupped by hands as warm as jade, then as his vision turned to blazing white, his forehead felt a slight chill, and a voice, as beautiful as if it gathered all worldly goodness, echoed in his ear:

"Aiven Galliot, blessings upon you, I will be with you."

From the practical treatment for Scurvy starting to solidify royal authority with "Penicillin," to the widespread adoption of various new types of ships, to the "Overlord Disqualification Plan" that brought the alliance to this stage.

To the theoretical assurance of royal continuity and top-level state governance design, and to the "Battle of Benin," "Battle of Dierben Castle," and "Battle of the Andaman Sea," the three large-scale fate battles occurring across three continents.

Aiven has brought immense change to the Tulip camp.

No doubt, his achievements are unmatched!

Whoosh—!

The next moment, the form of light and shadow dissolved, and a sacred storm swept in all directions.

The glorious holy light poured down, and all participants who made great contributions, including the Wizards, received the Goddess's blessings.

On the sea, the shadow of individual humans broke free from their corporeal bindings, ascending to the Celestial Kingdom on the waves of light.

For many of them, this was the wished-for culmination of their lives.

Aiven looked down at his own hands, feeling the turbulent power surging within.

His spiritual power index had reached a seasoned level of 8.9; the third original essence of the "Life Tree Meditation Method," [Understanding], quietly lit up.

"Only a step away from becoming a Peak High-Rank Wizard, the Goddess is truly generous, and more..."

This time, Hekater not only granted Aiven an amount of pure power comparable to the [World's Favor].

She also endowed him with a powerful authority akin to those "Ancient God's Descendants" like "Azure Beast," "Eight Million," and "Ten Kings of Zongderilic," enabling him to borrow Divine Authority.

[Secondary Authority: Sea Monarchy]

Originally, Aiven could only use [Pseudo Authority: Usurper] to manually control natural phenomena, but now it was tantamount to receiving official endorsement, becoming a "Sub-Administrator" under the Goddess.

Moreover, he has rights without obligations, an ultimate honor even the Pope is not entitled to!

...

On the west coast of the New Continent, at the border of the Vice-Kingdom of La Plata and Vice-Kingdom of Secret Dragon.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

The Ancient God's Followers, fiercely assaulting these two Hilus colonies, were caught somewhat off guard by the Invincible Fleet suddenly descending from above.

It was the [Legendary Battleship: Golden Cuckoo], carrying remnants defeated in the Battle of the Andaman Sea, that had arrived here with the [Dream Cruise].

Clearly, lacking the [Mind Network] to coordinate, they accidentally overshot the marker.

[Golden Cuckoo] went all out and straightforwardly activated the last [Predecessor's Decree]—[Second Decree: I Declare Victory!]

Effect: Ah Q's mental victory method, allowing deeply wounded allies to restore their combat capability and engage in another war, with injuries delayed in manifestation.

The reinforcement's entry narrowly secured parts of the Vice-Kingdom of New Granada and parts of the Vice-Kingdom of Secret Dragon, with the fleet consequently stationed here.

However, it was already irrelevant to the overall situation.

...

Thus, the new world order of the Material World has been established.

The "Eye of Wealth" founded the world's first bourgeois republic.

The "Wealth Church," under the True God, boldly installed itself within, clearly showing support. Just like "South Wind Country" being the sole favored land of the True God "Howling Storm," they are inherently blessed.

On the surface, it seems to be the only Evil God among the True Gods finally renouncing evil for good, but only the followers of the "Queen and Goddess of Navigation" understand deeply that they inherently are not benevolent.

Hilus Empire retained only parts of the New Continent, left with two Titled Knights and three Legendary Battleships, their power unprecedentedly weakened, temporarily unable to instigate new hostilities.

Meanwhile, the Tulip Alliance has suddenly acquired the "Overlord's Stance," and over time is destined to replace the influence of Hilus in the entire human world.

The world has turned a new page.

But discerning individuals can clearly see that the Western Region of the Old Continent, comprising the Tulip Alliance, Lowland Republic, and Hilus Empire, is fated to become the center of conflicts and events on the continent for the coming decades!
