Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1256 - 1139: Universal Celebration (Part 2)

"Your Majesty, the time has come for you and the Empress to jointly worship Heaven and Earth."

Previously, Lin Yi worshiped Heaven and Earth alone to inform his ancestral shrine that he was getting married. Now, with the Empress by his side, he must perform the rite together with her.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi nodded directly and then took Xiao Zihan’s hand. He looked toward Xiao Zihan with a gentle expression and said softly:

"Are you ready? I’ll take you and fly over there together."

Xiao Zihan replied with a gentle "Mm," and upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately wrapped one arm around Xiao Zihan’s slender waist.

With a swift motion, a pair of wings instantly emerged from Lin Yi’s back, and his entire body rose into the air.

Furthermore, as he embraced Xiao Zihan’s waist, he placed a miniature projection device on the phoenix robe behind her.

At that moment, a brilliant golden light burst forth from Xiao Zihan’s back, followed by the projection of an additional pair of wings on her.

This pair of wings differed from those on Lin Yi. They were smaller and more delicate, and besides being golden, they were intermingled with red fiery light that complemented her red phoenix robe.

In this golden glow, the phoenix on the phoenix robe seemed to come alive, spreading its wings to fly.

At this moment, the people below, including civil and military officials, witnessed Xiao Zihan transforming into a phoenix engulfed in flames, which stunned them further.

Originally, they knew Lin Yi was considered an Immortal, but now it seemed that Empress Xiao was no ordinary individual; she was truly a reincarnated phoenix.

No wonder she could become the Empress of Dayou.

Indeed, she was an Immortal too.

This was precisely Lin Yi’s intention; he wanted everyone to know that she was a true phoenix.

As Lin Yi acted, their figures swiftly headed toward the high altar together.

Besides the phoenix glow on Xiao Zihan, Lin Yi also donned a golden Dragon Robe.

As his wings flapped, a phantom of a dragon shot out from Lin Yi, elongating his body significantly. To the people below, Lin Yi appeared to transform into a dazzling giant dragon.

More precisely, a dragon’s glow trailed behind Lin Yi, making it seem as if a real dragon and phoenix were present.

This spectacle relied on the powerful system installed.

The Iron Man Armor system was specifically modified by Lin Yi, with functionalities beyond Iron Man’s original capabilities. Such projections were child’s play for it.

Even though the current Iron Man Armor system received upgrades, similar projections could be achieved with the Nuclear Creation Phone, albeit smaller and not directly on a person.

Instantly, the crowd below erupted in astonishment while remaining kneeling in reverence.

Lin Yi did all this not merely for show but also to offer Xiao Zihan an unparalleled wedding.

No one in the world has ever executed such a unique and awe-inspiring marriage ceremony.

As the two stood atop the high altar, the phoenix and dragon figures slowly receded.

Eventually, they transformed back into their human forms: Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan.

When the radiance faded, allowing everyone to see Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan on the altar, daylight illuminated the scene, revealing the pair—a clear view of Lin Yi’s face and Xiao Zihan’s red veil and phoenix robe.

Though daylight had broken, Lin Yi had planned it this way.

As the morning sun cast its rays on them, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon on Lin Yi’s Dragon Robe appeared animated, encircling him.

The phoenix on Xiao Zihan’s phoenix robe similarly came alive, swirling around her.

This effect was achieved through sunlight refraction and other principles, beyond current technology, leaving the spectators utterly astonished.

Not only the general crowd but Empress Dowager Ye and Lin Jianguo were equally amazed.

Although both knew their son used advanced technology, the spectacle was beyond their comprehension.

The Nuclear Creation Company had developed projection devices before, but nothing like today’s display.

Lin Jianguo speculated if this might be the second-generation nuclear projection.

No matter what, today’s wedding was undoubtedly a triumph—the arrangements were flawlessly successful.

Even in a historical context, this wedding stands alone, unrivaled even in the 21st century.

Such visual effects could not be produced by movies.

After worshiping Heaven and Earth, Lin Yi proceeded to announce a series of decrees from the high altar.

"Today, I happily unite with the Empress, a celebration across the nation.

This is my joyful occasion, Dayou’s joyful occasion, and the world’s joyful occasion.

To mark this, I hereby decree that all agricultural taxes for Dayou citizens are abolished.

In the future, Dayou’s citizens will no longer need to pay grain taxes to the town or court!"

Once this statement fell, it sparked an uproar, followed by jubilant cheers, with everyone shouting, "Long live the Emperor!"

Today’s events alone were shocking enough.

The people had blessed Lin Yi, but they never expected such an announcement.

Absolving taxes directly benefits all, a boon to the citizens indeed.

This is undeniably a joy for all the country’s people, especially for the farmers.

Once enacted, citizens would no longer worry about survival for lack of food.

Previously, the yield after taxes left little for survival, and during famines, there wasn’t even enough to live on.

Lin Yi had already reduced some grain taxes, bringing immense joy, but nobody expected today’s complete tax abolition.

How could they not be shocked or amazed?

Now at least they wouldn’t fear starvation.

Even during severe famines, there would be enough sustenance for survival.

Many people’s eyes brimmed with tears of joy as they shouted "Long live" with tears of happiness.

They believed if this decree spread nationwide, the Emperor’s prestige would reach unrivaled heights.

Lin Yi would become Dayou’s spiritual pillar.
