Sure! Here's the translation of the text into English:

The emperor of the Summer Kingdom, who was originally thought to have passed away, suddenly emerged from the body of the Black God Belober during the Icefield Emperor's enthronement ceremony. He swiftly killed most of the masters and grandmasters of the Icefield.
In addition, the diplomats from other countries who attended the ceremony were also not spared.
The masters sent by the Mist Court and the Federation perished at the hands of the Summer Kingdom emperor, and the emperors of the countries of Sang and Baekje also lost their lives.
The intended heir to the throne, Ivan XVII, was immediately deposed after this incident, and in his place was crowned the former queen who had been missing for two hundred years—Aphrola.
Furthermore, Aphrola immediately declared that from this day on, the Icefield would become a proud vassal state of the Summer Kingdom, forever following its lead.
This series of shocking events quickly spread to the high echelons of other nations.
Although this was an ancient world where news spread far slower than in later times, the high-ranking officials of each country naturally had their own intelligence channels.
However, most of them were skeptical about this news as it sounded too absurd.
Masters and grandmasters were already considered top-tier warriors in this world. Now they were being told that these top warriors had been wiped out by one person?
As a result, intelligence organizations from various nations quickly mobilized, sending elite personnel to the Icefield to verify the truth of the matter.
At the same time, the high-ranking officials became uneasy. If this news was true, the situation in the Eastern Continent would be settled, with the Summer Kingdom's emperor casting a terrifying shadow over the entire region.
...
On the Western Continent, in the Federation, in the Cathedral of the Holy See.
In the main hall, the Pope still sat elegantly in her highest seat, with the halo above her head emitting a sacred light.
The Pope gently flipped her hand, and two cards appeared in her palm.
One represented [Love], Anthony, and the other represented [Punishment], Shella.
Like the previous card of Simon, these two cards had turned black and white, indicating that the figures on them had sacrificed themselves honorably.
While other nations might need to painstakingly verify the truth of the Icefield incident, for the Pope, uncovering the truth was as easy as lifting her hand.
This was because the life stories of the individuals on the cards had already been updated.
[Holy Order Saints Anthony/Sheila, on their way to the Icefield to attend the Icefield Emperor's enthronement ceremony, encountered a young half-step Martial Saint, whose strength was monstrous. Despite putting up their best fight, they were ultimately killed by this individual.]
"Tsk tsk..." The Pope's voice echoed in the empty hall.
She remembered the last time she looked at Simon's card, the description read [Young Martial Master] back then...
At that time, she found it incredibly ridiculous and couldn't understand why the term "young" was associated with "martial master."
Now, it was even more absurd—he had gone from being a [young martial master] to a [half-step Martial Saint]!
To become a half-step Martial Saint at such a young age... what kind of monstrous existence was this?
Even more terrifying was the fact that the person had skyrocketed from being a martial master to a half-step Martial Saint in an incredibly short amount of time!
"Fang Yuan... Where did this guy come from?"
The Pope softly murmured this name. With the Federation's intelligence network, it was easy for her to investigate the emperor of the Summer Kingdom.
"Half a year to conquer the Yan Kingdom," "From fool to emperor" — these pieces of information were all collected by her.
At first glance, these seemed like wild stories, but when paired with Fang Yuan's freakish speed of cultivation, everything seemed to make perfect sense.
"If I give this Fang Yuan more time to develop, could he become a real Martial Saint... breaking through and ascending?" The Pope thought to herself.
Wait, breaking through and ascending?
In an instant, the Pope seemed to catch some key information, and her previously anxious expression disappeared, replaced by a meaningful smile.
"Hehe, so that's it... no wonder the result of my astrological divination said that the great misfortune has passed and great fortune is near..."
"It seems Fang Yuan... you are the lucky star destined for me..."
"You are also a chess piece carefully chosen by the gods."
At this moment, her tone became calm again, and a cross-shaped pattern slowly appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Then, with a gentle flick of her wrist, a brand new card appeared in her hand.
The card depicted a handsome young man, with an arrogant look in his eyes, staring at the sky as if he cared for nothing in this world.
"This design is not very pleasing." The Pope shook her head, and with a swipe of her hand, the image on the card changed.
The card still depicted Fang Yuan, but now his face was slightly flushed, his expression somewhat coquettish, as he gazed at the Pope with love.
"Mm, now that's more to my liking... I do prefer the obedient look of a young boy."
The Pope nodded in satisfaction, gently pressing the card to her chest. Her tone unconsciously carried a touch of flirtation.
She didn't feel ashamed; after all, as the Pope, it was only normal to like young boys.
The card representing Fang Yuan had already been completed. Now, she only needed to wait quietly for the time when she could claim him, like taming a well-behaved pet.
Fang Yuan had first overthrown the previous dynasty and established the Summer Kingdom, then subdued the Icefield, and executed the emperors of Baekje, Sang, and other countries. His series of thunderous actions showed his ambitions as a hero.
Such an existence would surely soon face the Federation in direct confrontation.
But the Pope was not afraid; in fact, she was somewhat eager. Even if he truly became a Martial Saint, she was confident that she could tame him.
She only hoped he would obediently listen, because being the Pope's pet was something many martial artists dreamed of but could never attain...
"Grow quickly, Fang Yuan, only by becoming a Martial Saint will you see the true nature of this world..."
The Pope whispered to the card in her hand.
...
Fang Yuan had returned to the Summer Kingdom and immediately entered into seclusion for cultivation.
The planned Taishan pilgrimage and enthronement ceremony were all postponed, as these were merely smoke screens meticulously set up for the surprise attack on the Icefield.
Now that the goal had been achieved, there was no need to continue with such superficial formalities.
Rather than focusing on these formalities, Fang Yuan preferred to grow stronger and continue conquering.
His grand vision of uniting the world, even in his previous world, was something no one had ever been able to achieve. Now, Fang Yuan aimed to accomplish this monumental feat.
After all, as a member of the army of transmigrators, he could not bring shame to the cause.
Besides this, Fang Yuan was also undertaking sweeping reforms within the kingdom. It was time for this decaying feudal dynasty to become more vibrant.
