When Yang Xiong spoke, everyone present fell silent. The matters Yang Xiong brought up were too significant, even overturning everyone's way of thinking.
One had to understand that both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire had been established for thousands of years and had always been the ruling powers. It could be said that this way of thinking was deeply ingrained in everyone's hearts.
Yet, according to Yang Xiong, he seemed to strongly oppose empires and the current system.
Yang Xiong continued, "My goal is very simple: from this day forward, the Three Great Empires will cease to exist. In their place will be the Douluo Federation. Furthermore, from this day forward, there will be no distinction between nobles and commoners in the entire Douluo World; everyone's status will be the same."
Empress Xue Ke's face turned a little pale. "Sect Leader Yang, according to your vision, do you intend to annihilate all three great empires and even destroy their legacies?"
Yang Xiong shook his head. "This is not the annihilation of empires. Perhaps you can think of it from another perspective. You will all be members of the nation. Or rather, I can grant you corresponding positions, allowing you to showcase your abilities, and even allow your families to continue their legacies."
Empress Xue Ke asked, "If the Heaven Dou Empire no longer exists, what is the meaning of my Heaven Dou Imperial Family's existence?"
Yang Xiong chuckled. "What you should be concerned about is not the status of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, but whether your Xue family's Swan Martial Soul can be passed down. After all, you are the only successor to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."
"My goal is very simple: from this day forward, the Three Great Empires will merge into one. I will name it the Douluo Federation. Within the entire Douluo Federation, everyone will be equal and must abide by the laws of the Douluo Federation."
The expressions of everyone present changed drastically, all astonished by Yang Xiong's idea.
Yang Xiong continued, "Within the entire Douluo Federation, there will no longer be distinctions between the Dai family and the Xue family, nor between the Angel Clan and the Qian family. Everyone will work for the stable operation of the nation. No one is permitted to violate the law, or they will be punished."
Qian Renxue suddenly burst into laughter. "Yang Xiong, aren't you a bit too naive? In the Douluo World, Soul Masters and ordinary people are entirely different existences. A high-level Soul Master possesses the power to manipulate the heavens and earth. How could they possibly be willing to be on equal footing with commoners?"
"The Two Great Empires have ruled the Douluo Continent for so many years. If not for their system of nobility, if not for their enslavement of commoners, how could my Spirit Hall have developed?"
"Among the Three Great Empires, only my Spirit Empire treats commoners kindly. Only the Spirit Empire serves as a ladder for commoner Soul Masters to rise. Otherwise, my Spirit Empire could not have grown to its current extent."
Yang Xiong nodded. "That is indeed true, Qian Renxue. This is your Spirit Hall's greatest contribution to the Douluo World, which is why I never intended to destroy your Spirit Hall. However, you have all become complacent over these years, and you have erred terribly. Otherwise, this great battle would not have occurred today."
"Although this battle appears to have been initiated by Bibi Dong, fundamentally, it is also due to your inflated ambitions and your forgetting your original intentions."
Qian Renxue's expression changed. "Yang Xiong, what exactly do you want? You should know better than anyone else that the gap between Soul Masters and ordinary people cannot be eliminated."
Yang Xiong shook his head. "Regardless of whether they are Soul Masters or commoners, they are all humans. Many Soul Master families started from commoner status. Without the cultivation of commoners, without the labor of commoners, what meaning would Soul Masters have?"
Yang Xiong looked at the Star Luo Emperor and Empress Xue Ke again. "You were both rulers of empires. I can make an exception for your two families, allowing you to become the only two dukes in the Douluo Federation, but you will still need to abide by the laws of the Douluo Federation."
Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Yang Xiong directly threw out a map. The map divided the entire Douluo Continent into countless small regions, each region like a province, but much smaller than current provinces. According to the map, there were over a hundred separate districts.
"This is my plan for the reorganization of the Douluo Continent. From now on, the entire Douluo Continent will be divided into one hundred districts, each with its own independent leader and administrator. This will ensure order in each district and even guarantee the safety of everyone's lives and property."
Following that, Yang Xiong produced a stack of papers. Each paper recorded different things: the laws of the Douluo Federation, the administrative system of the Douluo Federation, the legislative system of the people of the Douluo Federation...
In short, these papers were extensive. Yang Xiong had written the characters with his Divine Power, and everyone could see them clearly. They could even feel the irrefutability within the text.
This was Yang Xiong's direct adoption of the management system from Earth. The imperial system of the Douluo World was too backward, or rather, the class distinctions were too obvious. Apart from power struggles, none of the Three Great Empires genuinely aimed to do anything for the people or develop the world of Soul Masters.
According to Yang Xiong's plan, the Douluo Federation would be divided into departments such as the Administrative Department, Personnel Department, Law Department, Awakening Department, Construction Department, Military Department, Soul Master Management Department, Commerce Department, Legislative Department, and Federal Prisons. It was essentially a complete transplant of Earth's system, with very few loopholes, covering almost all personnel.
Upon seeing this content, everyone's mouths twitched slightly. If Yang Xiong's plan were implemented, it was likely that no one would enjoy special status in the future. If a Soul Master were to kill an ordinary commoner without cause, they would also be punished by the Douluo Federation.
The specific personnel for each department were even clearly listed. The core handling of the Three Great Empires was emphasized. Among them, the Star Luo Emperor was responsible for the Military Department, primarily overseeing all armies within the country. However, his deputies were Golden Crocodile Douluo and Bone Douluo.
Empress Xue Ke was responsible for the Administrative Department, essentially overseeing the governance of the nation.
Qian Renxue was responsible for the Law Department, which also included personnel from major powers, jointly responsible for formulating and maintaining federal laws, and leading the Angel Legion to maintain continental order.
Ning Fengzhi was appointed as the Grand Commander of the Douluo Federation, theoretically making him the ruler of the nation.
...
The Star Luo Emperor already regretted coming here. However, he also knew very well that even if he were still at Heaven's Gate Pass or had returned to Star Luo City, under Yang Xiong's absolute power, there was no escape and no room for resistance.
Yang Xiong said with a half-smile, "I know you all held high positions and could arbitrarily decide the fate of others. But I hope you will carefully examine the laws of the Douluo Federation. Do not claim ignorance if you violate them and are punished later."
"Of course, I can also demonstrate through my actions that this is inevitable. No one can stop me, and no one can shake my resolve."
Looking at the papers and then at the Asura Demon Sword in Yang Xiong's hand, everyone understood very clearly that Yang Xiong had emerged from Slaughter City and did not care about killing many people. He merely wanted to reduce trouble. Anyone who dared to object would be instantly killed.
To Yang Xiong's surprise, the first to speak was the Star Luo Emperor. "Sect Leader Yang, my Star Luo Imperial Family is willing to comply with the requirements. Henceforth, there will be no more Star Luo Empire, nor a Star Luo Imperial Family."
Everyone was astonished that the dignified Star Luo Emperor could make such a swift decision.
Yang Xiong instantly understood that, in terms of insight, no one present could compare to the Star Luo Emperor.
After all, according to the original plot, the Star Luo Empire's imperial family had once lost its throne, and the entire Star Luo Empire had fallen into the hands of the Star Crown Sect. Yet, such a former dynasty had managed to survive and even develop quite well, which was almost unbelievable. This was likely related to their brutal imperial selection system.
Qian Renxue revealed a hint of confusion. "This is quite interesting, Yang Xiong. According to what you've said, my Angel Clan remains the symbol of Soul Masters and the leader of all Soul Masters. Are you not putting the cart before the horse by doing this, not even securing anything for yourself or the Body Sect?"
"Logically speaking, if you wished, the Body Sect could become the greatest sect in the entire Douluo World, even ruling the entire continent. Are you truly willing to give up such supreme power?"
Yang Xiong did not answer Qian Renxue. Instead, he looked at Di Tian.
"Di Tian, if my information is correct, you should have been to another continent."
Di Tian's expression changed slightly. "Yang Xiong, you seem to know quite a lot. When I traveled the entire Douluo World, I did discover another continent. However, their cultivation system is somewhat different from the Douluo World. Although they also have Soul Masters, they focus more on the development of tools, which they call Soul Engineers."
Yang Xiong nodded. "I know. In terms of raw strength, our Soul Masters should be superior to their Soul Engineers. However, if they use their tools, we might suffer a crushing defeat."
Di Tian shook his head. "Unfortunately, that continent is too far away. Besides myself, no one else in this world has likely been there."
Yang Xiong then looked at Qian Renxue. "The Douluo World is not eternally peaceful. Perhaps in a few thousand years, we will face new enemies. The Angel Clan possesses unparalleled prestige among Soul Masters, especially the Angel Legion, which has a natural suppressive effect on fallen Soul Masters. That is why I want you to be the leader of the Soul Masters."
As Yang Xiong said, if the Spirit Hall had not been destroyed, the continental situation ten thousand years later would not have been so dire. Not only would there be formidable external enemies, but also Evil Soul Masters everywhere, with ordinary people ultimately suffering.
Tang San's destruction of Slaughter City had, to some extent, indeed promoted the development of Evil Soul Masters. However, there was another point: Evil Soul Masters lacked the true enemy that was the Angel Clan.
