Chapter 2068: As Promised, Bringing New Blessings and Well-Being to All Living Things Under Heaven
Jiang Ding wandered around the various regions of Xian Gao Jie, gaining a general understanding of the present-day Xian Gao Jie.
Overall, because he had employed the tactic of striking at the core and decapitating the leadership, wiping out the enemy's ruling core, every world was still in an era ruled by demon race powers such as the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Butterfly and the Immortal Qi Sect; the human races everywhere were enslaved, and the demon race—especially the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Butterfly—remained the overlord of every region.
This was undoubtedly a vile erosion of his authority.
The human races and many living beings in every region were still suffering.
After a tour, and especially after a nostalgic stay in the Thunder Flame Domain, Jiang Ding returned to the Great Dream Sword Domain.
This was his ruling core, the place that put his mind at ease. Thanks to Xian Gao Jie's special terrain, even if an Eighth Tribulation Supreme or a quasi-Ninth Tribulation Supreme broke in here, he would have no fear—it was the strongest natural fortress.
"The Great Yin-Yang Sword Domain is still on the road; it'll probably need another nine thousand-plus years before it returns."
"Don't tell them about the situation here for now. In this long life, there aren't many things that can be called great joys or great happiness. Leave these old friends a surprise, a most beautiful memory."
Jiang Ding was calculating.
Time had flowed on to today, and in his eyes, the lives of people like Sun Supreme, Sun Sword Son, Yang Bone Heavenly Being, Gong Gong Caiyu and others were all short, not long. He hoped these old friends would live more brilliant lives, with fewer regrets, spending every day as colorfully as possible.
In a stretch of battlefield ruins, Jiang Ding looked around.
"We pay respects!"
"We pay respects to Great Sun Supreme!"
A crowd of the most powerful cultivators in Xian Gao Jie dropped to their knees in a great black mass, their voices extremely reverent, wishing they could prostrate themselves completely on the ground, kowtowing to this ancient Supreme, the renowned predecessor of the previous generation, the strongest Supreme and strongest Overlord of present-day Xian Gao Jie.
Among these cultivators were the current generation's Heavenly Sword Sword Son, Seven Kill Dao Son, Heavenly Beast Dao Son, Pill Heaven Dao Son and other Dao Sons, numerous Heavenly Beings from various sects, and the many Heavenly Beings originally present in the Great Dream Sword Domain.
These Heavenly Beings were likewise the strongest Heavenly Beings born among their races, and had always served under Great Sun Sword Son, familiar with the Master Tushan Code.
Heavenly Beast Supreme and Pill Heaven Supreme had only a few tens of thousands of years of lifespan left—they were already people on the verge of death—so Jiang Ding did not summon them, letting them do as they pleased, as long as they didn't violate the Master Tushan Code.
Today, the strongest batch of beings in Xian Gao Jie was right here.
"Mm."
Jiang Ding gave a soft sigh.
The scene before him stirred a feeling of loneliness in his heart.
This was the first time—the first time all of his subordinates were young people far younger than himself, junior cultivators. Looking back, every face was youthful; he did not know when he had already come to stand in ancient times, watching generation after generation of young people born beneath the starry sky.
Was the Heavenly Sword Lord of Thunder Sun, who had risen from obscurity back then, also
like this?
Having gone through the growth of a sect in youth, having gone through the companionship and killing of peers, finally looking up to find the entire sect filled with juniors, with no peers left at all.
A touch of melancholy slowly faded.
"Fellow Daoists,"
"This Sovereign wishes to bring the entire Fallen Immortal Great Thousand World cluster into an era of peace. From the Extreme Domain to even a mountain hollow in the Minor Thousand Worlds where mortals live, This Sovereign wants peace; This Sovereign wants the beings within to have a stable environment, where diligence can bring an abundant life."
"If a cultivator has enough talent, This Sovereign will let them step onto the Great Dao."
"Fairness, fairness, and fairness!"
"This Sovereign will also settle accounts with all man-eating demon races."
Jiang Ding said calmly: "Throughout the entire Fallen Immortal Great Thousand World cluster, in any place whatsoever, any man-eating demon race must all be put to death."
"No—add one more clause. If an entire species is a man-eating demon race and has all committed capital crimes, then a small portion must be kept and listed on the protected rare flora and fauna roster; don't let them go extinct and affect the diversity of immortal Dao species and immortal Dao inheritances. It isn't easy for the Heavenly Dao and nature to evolve a flora or fauna—who knows, in the future there may be a time when they're needed for research."
All Heavenly Beings of demon race origin shuddered, cold sweat breaking out, their whole bodies turning cold.
Yet not a single demon dared to offer a word of remonstrance.
Heavenly Sword Sword Son, Seven Kill Dao Son and the others listened attentively.
Peace for the entire Great Thousand World cluster, fairness for all, death for every man-eating demon race… all of this sounded exactly like the wild delusions of many a cultivator in their youthful days—fantastical, laughable no matter who said it, prompting the thought that youth really are naive, that one had similar ideas in one's own youth.
However, when these naive words were spoken by the strongest Overlord of Xian Gao Jie, they were no longer a joke or an ideal.
They were about to become reality.
The strongest Overlord of Xian Gao Jie—his words carried the weight of heaven's decree; what he said was the reality that would inevitably come to pass!
"This is the clearing away of the old order."
"The establishment of the new order, the new immortal Dao industrial system plan developed in reliance on the Fallen Realm's special environment, is as follows. You are to implement it."
Jiang Ding produced an immortal Dao industrial planning chart.
This was the industrial planning chart designed for Xian Gao Jie by the Industrial Department, composed of geniuses from the seven star domains and immortal sect cultivators stationed in the Supreme Great Sun Heavenly Palace. It was integrated with the great industrial system currently under construction across the seven star domains, forming an organically linked system that fully leveraged Xian Gao Jie's unique environment to produce many distinctive immortal Dao industrial products.
Xian Gao Jie was extremely special; many of the products manufactured here would play an important supplementary role in the great industrial system currently under construction in the seven star domains.
The Heavenly Beast Dao Son and the others were somewhat bewildered by this matter.
"Go get some training first, then go."
Jiang Ding
instructed, finally handing over a development plan for the Upper Clarity Spiritual Treasure Domain: "Go build the Upper Clarity Spiritual Treasure Domain, recruit disciples who fit this sect, and rebuild this ancient sect."
"The Spiritual Treasure Domain?"
Many Dao Sons and Heavenly Beings revealed expressions of utmost envy.
Undoubtedly, with just this one statement, the Upper Clarity Spiritual Treasure Domain would henceforth become a sect only slightly inferior to the Great Yin-Yang Sword Domain. No one knew how the ancestors of the Upper Clarity Spiritual Treasure Domain had forged such a deep friendship with Great Sun Supreme—they had really stumbled into the luck of the heavens.
"What This Sovereign wants is roughly this."
"Within five thousand years, can you all fully achieve these goals?"
Jiang Ding asked.
Naturally, he could not do this work himself; among the countless cultivators of Xian Gao Jie, there was no shortage of talented ones.
Moreover, it wasn't exploitation—these cultivators needed work, because without work there was no payment, and without payment there was no cultivation or Great Dao. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement.
He only needed to set the goals he wanted to achieve, then cultivate for a period, and let the goals realize themselves automatically.
"Sword Lord!"
"Within five thousand years, we will definitely accomplish it!"
The Seven Slaughter Dao Disciple, the Heavenly Beast Dao Disciple, the Heavenly Sword Sword Disciple, and others felt a chill in their hearts, speaking in heavy tones.
The new order of the Fallen Immortal Xian Gao Jie was sweeping across the entire Fallen Immortal Xian Gao Jie like a torrent, booming and reaching every corner; all past statuses and identities were now completely different. If one could not find their place within this new order, future regret would be lifelong and impossible to remedy.
They had already made up their minds: even if they did not cultivate for these five thousand years, they would still accomplish all these matters perfectly!
