Chapter 1090 - 510: Xuanyuan's Reign; Northern Ghost Emperor
The rain over the Zulu Wilderness finally stopped.
The Zulu Plain, soaked in blood and corpse gas for countless ages, miraculously revived with a faint hint of life after the cleansing of a torrential downpour.
The scent of the earth, mingled with a faint smell of blood, wafted through the humid air.
Above the sky, the thick clouds of calamity had been completely dispersed by the supreme Dao might at the moment when the Nine Immortals of the Chan Sect decapitated Jiang Chen, revealing a clear and washed azure Heavenly Vault.
A ray of golden sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting its warmth and holiness over this land scarred by disaster, bestowing a sacred glow upon the earth that had survived the tribulation.
Xuanyuan climbed back onto his chariot, quietly staring in the direction where Chiyou had departed, speechless for a long time.
On his heroic face, there was no joy or sorrow, only an abyssal calmness.
"Common Lord."
Feng Hou, Li Mu, and a group of ministers who had followed him through the campaigns came forth.
The war had ended.
Xuanyuan's era had begun.
Xuanyuan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at his comrades who had followed him through thick and thin, a gentle smile finally appearing on his face.
He raised the Holy Dao Sword in his hand high, its blade pointed towards the firmament, his voice strong and full of Strength, echoing throughout the entire Zulu Plain.
"Deliver my decree!"
"Clean the battlefield, gather the remains of all the fallen, be they warriors of my Youxiong Tribe or heroes of the Jiuli Tribe, they are all heroes of the Human Race and deserve the most solemn burial!"
"Aid the wounded, tally the resources, comfort the people, and rebuild our homes!"
He paused, taking a deep breath, and with all his strength, issued a proclamation that shook the heavens.
"Now that this great tribulation has ended, those who survived the tribulation shall enjoy Wuliang blessings and boundless Qi Fortune!"
After Xuanyuan, the "Calamity Lord," made this declaration, the shackles of calamity on the Immortal Gods instantly vanished.
What followed was boundless Merit and Qi Fortune!
In that instant, unknown how many Immortal Gods broke through to a new Realm.
"We bow to Xuanyuan, the Common Lord!" someone was the first to shout.
After a brief silence, a cheer like a tidal wave erupted over the entire Zulu Plain.
The sound converged into a surging torrent, dispersing the last shadows cast by the war, heralding the dawn of a brand-new era.
After this battle, Xuanyuan smoothly entered the Chen Capital.
He also brought a Chiyou Banner.
On his first day at Chen Capital, Xuanyuan issued a Decree, acknowledging Chiyou's contribution and affirming his historical status.
This greatly reduced the hostility from the Jiuli Tribe.
In the years that followed, Xuanyuan displayed a governance ability far beyond ordinary imagination.
He did not indulge in the joy of victory, but with almost severe self-discipline, began a sweeping reform and construction of the entire Human Race.
The first thing he did was integration.
He dispatched Envoys to the Jiuli Tribe, Eastern Yi, and other former rival tribes, not as a conqueror, but as an equal, inviting their leaders to Chen Capital to jointly discuss the grand plan for the future development of the Human Race.
For those tribes willing to submit, he granted them the same status and respect as the Youxiong Tribe, even allowing them to retain their customs and beliefs.
For those tribes that still harbored resentment and were unwilling to submit, he did not resort to force, but won them over with virtue,
showing them the tremendous Life Force that a unified Human Race can unleash, by teaching skills, developing trade, and popularizing the Great Dao.
Human hearts, like trickling streams, began to converge towards Chen Capital, rallying around this new Common Lord of the Human Race.
After completing the preliminary integration, Xuanyuan then began to establish institutions.
He created hundred officials, setting up the "Six Ministers" to oversee governmental affairs, managing various fields including astronomy, calendar, agriculture, military, criminal law, and civil affairs.
He unified weights and measures, standardized writing, and promulgated the legal code, making the social Order of the entire Human Race well-organized.
He also encouraged invention and creation.
Under his guidance, technologies related to the people's livelihood, such as transportation, bow and arrow, Melody, medicine, arithmetic, all developed rapidly.
The best transportation of the Human Race was proud to roam All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, traverse the Space-Time River; the strongest bow and arrow aimed to shoot down the Great Sun of Nine Heavens; the Melody of the Human Race took communicating with heaven and earth as its standard...
Medicine healed the masses, arithmetic deliberated the past and present, legal codes imposed awe upon the world.
The Human Race developed rapidly, the Ten Thousand Races did not lag behind.
They exchanged ideas, learned from each other, and progressed together.
And the development benefits of the Primordial Human Dao also projected towards All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds through the Space-Time River, aiding the development of all beings in the Ten Thousand Worlds.
Under Xuanyuan's leadership, the entire Human Dao was immersed in an unprecedentedly prosperous and flourishing atmosphere.
The Great Powers of heaven and earth saw Wuliang Merit and Qi Fortune, like golden auspicious clouds, continually gathering over Chen Capital.
Its grand scale even surpassed the times of Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi and Earth Emperor Shennong.
However, in the process of leading the Human Dao forward.
Xuanyuan's heart always bore a small regret.
That was the unresolved friendship with Chiyou.
Since parting in Zulu that day, Chiyou seemed to have vanished into the Mortal World, no news whatsoever.
He did not know whether the "General" position he once promised would ever await the day for Chiyou to ascend.
