On the surface, in the dark, and under the resentment of the dead nobles, Chu Hao was' forced 'to become the leader of more than 100,000 people in the valley. The first order he issued was to gather all the strong and fit people, and then gather the livestock of the people. They were to rush to the nearest city-states that had been turned into ruins, and retrieve the various resources stored there.
Of course, there were still a few monsters in the wild, so Chu Hao gave his second order. He split up a few teams to wipe out the monsters in the wild. The remaining soldiers and officers of the Samsara Army were led by Zhang Heng, while Lin Juntian and Liu Yu formed a team. With the help of the flying creatures summoned by Liu Yu, the team moved very quickly.
Then there was the group of Qi users led by Perseus and Ai Ao. This group wasn't weak either. It wouldn't be a problem for them to clear out the monsters that strayed from the pack.
As for the last team, it was Zheng alone. He would be responsible for clearing large scale monsters in the area. In fact, even though he was only one person, his combat power surpassed the combined power of the other three teams. Moreover, his speed was even faster. It could be said that as long as he was willing, he could completely clear out all the monsters in the world … or living beings. Chu Hao had his own considerations for assigning the Sirens to the other teams.
In Chu Hao's understanding, the so-called authority and power were based on two things. One was the system, and the other was the position in the system. Of course, this referred to the non-magic dimension. The basic point was that everyone was about the same. Even if there was a difference in physical strength, it was at most too much. In a situation where there was no weapon, it would be amazing if one person could fight against ten people of the same age, gender, and physical condition as him. It was impossible for one person to fight against an entire army.
It was impossible to fight against an army. In this kind of situation, the so-called authority came from the system and the position in the system. For example, in ancient times, there was the saying of the magistrate who confiscated the property and the magistrate who exterminated the family. Could it be that no family in the county had as much money as the magistrate? No family had as many servants as the magistrate? Then why would the family be exterminated? This was the existence of the system.
Similarly, in the modern era, why could those rich families or organizations control the rise and fall of a country's politics? But manipulating the election of a country's leader? In the modern era, the social system had changed to a form of power based on money. The rich naturally had power, and the powerful naturally had more money. Then, under this system, their status was much higher than that of ordinary people. Thus, they had the foundation of their power.
Although Chu Hao had become their leader with the support of the natives, Chu Hao knew that this was a rootless tree. At this time, the ones who truly held power were the Aristocrats. The King was just one of the powerful Aristocrats. What he was about to do would directly make him stand against all the High Nobles. He would definitely not join the ranks of the Aristocrats. He became the Human Emperor to save the world, not to abuse his power. This was an essential conflict.
Therefore, he had to show his position from the beginning, let everyone know that he was the one at the top, he was the leader. At the same time, he also had to establish a system, a system where the Human Emperor could be at the top.
Time flew by quickly. Under Chu Hao's orders, several armies went out to clear out the monsters. Because Law's projection had been eliminated, the weaker monsters among these monsters had already begun to weaken and die. Moreover, with Zheng's help, this operation went very smoothly. In a few days, almost all the monsters near the valley had been cleared out. At the same time, as Chu Hao had speculated, although these monsters had breached the cities and slaughtered the humans, they had no interest in human food and resources, nor did they have any intention of burning them all. Naturally, there was a large amount of resources in the ruins of these cities. Under the excavation and transportation of the youths, the initial resources were enough.
Under such circumstances, the valley's usefulness as a wartime shelter was greatly reduced. After all, the valley was too small, and the problems of water, garbage, housing, and future farming had to be solved. Migration was inevitable and necessary, and there were too many lands to choose from. The original ruins of various cities or new lands were fine. After all, too many people had died in this catastrophe, and a large amount of fertile land had been emptied out.
Moreover, with the deaths of large numbers of humans, Gods, and the monsters that appeared with Law's appearance, in Chu Hao's eyes, the twilight of this world no longer seemed so lifeless. It was as if new oil had been added to an oil lamp that was about to burn out. This world seemed to have recovered some vitality.
Under such circumstances, green grass began to grow in the wild, trees began to grow, and wild fruits began to appear. All of this was a situation that the people had not seen for a long time. Under such an atmosphere, the title of Savior King Chu Hao quickly replaced the title of Sage Chu Hao.
The final place to gather was the intersection of the original three cities. There was a river crossing this land, and it was close to the estuary. The land was fertile, and there were forests and plains nearby. There were all kinds of advantages that this land had. The reason why it did not develop before was that the three cities all claimed the ownership of this land and fought with each other, so the land did not develop. But this time, there was no such problem. Anyway, everything was rebuilt from the beginning, and this land had greater potential.
After that, Chu Hao enfeoffed the nobles and did not recognize the original nobles' ownership of the land and the people. There were two rules for enfeoffing. The first one was based on the merits of the previous catastrophe, whether it was the number of monsters killed or the number of people saved. The second one was based on the amount of strength and Combat Aura. After the evaluation, the nobles would be enfeoffed.
It was not that Chu Hao liked the centralization of power or anything like that, but the rules of this world's civilization were such. If he did not want to start a Red Revolution, it would be better to enfeoff the nobles first after reducing the power and number of nobles.
In this way, some of the original nobles were not enfeoffed, because in the previous catastrophe, there were some nobles who only wanted to protect their lives and did not fight for the people at all. Not only did they not achieve anything, but they also had negative points for killing the people in their way. Of course, many of the original nobles were enfeoffed as nobles, because they had Combat Aura and martial strength, as well as the knowledge passed down in their family. They also had the foundation of the people. Moreover, they had fought hard to protect the people under their rule during the previous catastrophe.
Two months after choosing the gathering place, on the seventh day of the enfeoffment of the nobles, a riot and murder in the palace began. The original nobles who hadn't been enfeoffed attempted to kill Chu Hao with poison. At the same time, they also gathered some of their former subordinates to start a riot. However, team China and Samsara's army had finished their rest and were carrying out their mission. They were like a farce. After Chu Hao announced that they were the Devil's accomplices, attempting to kill the Saviour and destroy this world, all of them were torn to shreds by the angry citizens. Although the remaining nobles were enfeoffed, they still had far less land under their jurisdiction than the original high nobles. They could only watch in fear as Zheng threw a mountain peak into the ocean like a ball in order to demonstrate his power. Far away … they couldn't see any trace of it landing … Translator's Note: This chapter was sponsored by Kris _ Liu and edited by RED
This was a world with magic. Not only did authority come from the system and status, it also came from one's own power. Even the greatest power, Zheng Zha, recognized Chu Hao as the superior. Then, all other powers were like ants and meaningless. Therefore, no matter how unwilling they were, the High Nobles were not idiots or lunatics. They could only agree with all of this, and sincerely agree with all of this … if they didn't want to die …
Just like that, in the third month after choosing the gathering place, the first batch of short-term crops that were planted began to be harvested. Moreover, since this world had recovered some vitality, it seemed like it wanted to make up for the previous depression. This time, the harvest was simply a bumper harvest. The hearts of the people that had been on tenterhooks were finally put down. Meanwhile, Chu Hao's title once again became the heaven-blessed one, the savior, the king, the most virtuous sage, and so on …
And the construction of the new city was mostly completed. After all, this world had Dou Qi, and also Chu Hao's magic, as well as Zheng's cheat … Therefore, in just three months, a grand new city was built on the hub of this land. The surrounding villages were densely packed, and more than a hundred thousand people were densely packed on this land to rest and recuperate.
It was only at this moment that Chu Hao announced that he would be crowned … Furthermore, he wasn't crowned as a king. Instead, under the "strong request" of the four living beings (including the Fire God), he was reluctantly crowned as the Human Emperor …
On that day, all of the nobles, gentry, and almost all of the survivors gathered in this new city, which was named by Chu Hao as the City of Humans. They were there to witness the coronation of the first and only emperor in history who was personally crowned by Zeus, the King of Gods, the Human Emperor!
"Remember, you can resist, and I don't mind waiting for new creatures to be born. But if you want to continue to be the Gods in the sky, and continue to enjoy faith, then abide by the oath you made with me to the River Styx. That is an oath that the Gods absolutely cannot violate."
Zeus' face was dark, and Chu Hao's words were still echoing in his heart. The so-called oath to the River Styx was an oath the Gods made with their Divinity, fire, and divinity, and pointed at the great River Styx. Once violated, they would be stripped of the above three, and then be pulled into the Astral Plane by the numerous believers of the past. That was an ending ten thousand times crueler than direct death. But the form was stronger than the person. Zheng stood behind Chu Hao, clenching his fists and looking at them nonchalantly. Except for Vulcan, who had a face full of laughter, the other three Gods could only swear with ashen faces to obey the Human Emperor's every command, except for those that endangered their lives.
When Zeus placed the shining Diamond of Divinity crown on Chu Hao's head, almost all the humans present cheered, because they believed that the humans had won the war against the Gods.
"I command, Zeus, from now on, you will control the lightning in the sky, and control this world's most powerful attack. You must fight for the safety of this world, you must resist the malicious invasions of the outside world. You are this world's guardian."
"I command, Hades, you will control the underworld and reincarnation. Just pure silence is too cruel. Anyone can reincarnate, but before that, the wicked must pay for all the sins they committed when they were alive. And before that, the good will be entertained by you in your kingdom, where there will be flowers everywhere, where there will be endless wine and food to enjoy. This is what the good have changed."
"I command, Athena, you will be the new God of War and arbiter. Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, when they pray to you before the war, you will protect them. You will resist injustice. You will arbitrate for the good, the weak, and those who have suffered injustice. Then, you will judge the injustice and get retribution for them."
"I command, this world will always be maintained, and this world will be saved from the brink of destruction. I promise in the name of the Human Emperor that I will save this world!"
"New Gods will be born, and before they are born, their divine duties will be temporarily taken over by the Heavenly Dao. Clouds and rain, mountains and rivers, retribution for life and death, and protection of this world will begin. At the same time, human will be separated from the Heavenly Dao. From now on, all Gods will no longer be able to descend in their true form. Human will believe in the Gods, and the Gods will not be allowed to interfere with human.
Everyone, all Gods, and even Chu Hao and Zheng didn't expect that after Chu Hao's words, the entire world would tremble. It wasn't a tremor like an earthquake, but more like the world was responding. Under the shocked gazes of the three Gods, they all rose into the sky, then disappeared before the eyes of all humans. Only three large stars were shining in the sky. This wasn't their doing, but it was as if the world was acting according to Chu Hao's orders.
After all this, Zhang Heng, Liu Yu, Lin Juntian, and a certain stone house in the city that no one paid attention to, all disappeared. Only Chu Hao sat on the throne of the Human Emperor, and beside him was Zheng who was condensing energy.
"Looks like the mission is complete." Zheng scratched his head regretfully, then said to Chu Hao with a bitter smile. "It's time to part. Here, I solemnly propose … no matter which team gets the contract, let's merge our two teams. How about it?"
Chu Hao was somewhat shocked by all of this. Just now, he had felt joy from this plane's heaven and earth. He had sensed life force, as well as some information. He knew that his mission had indeed been completed. This world had forced him to stay for a short period of time. After that, he would return to God's Space. And Zheng … had accomplished all of this with his own power.
"Okay, I agree." Chu Hao looked at Zheng, feeling grateful and speechless. He continued. "Then … let us work hard for the merging of our two teams. I … will wait for all of this."
Zheng immediately laughed heartily. He patted Chu Hao's shoulder, then disappeared with a smile in front of Chu Hao.
Fates meet, fates part, and the day they meet again won't be too far away.
Chu Hao calmed his mind. He looked at the cheering people in front of him, smelled the fresher scent of this world, and saw the blood-red color on the horizon gradually fade.
He also smiled.
