Chapter 46: Empress Li Hongyu

The Chu Huang's rebellion caught all the forces still guarding the Capital off guard. This change in the world took them a long time to recover from.

Those high-ranking families who had never cared about the ordinary people in the city, farmers and fishermen, as well as the maids and servants in their homes, all belonged to the Demon Lord overnight. This made those high-ranking families chaotic for a long time.

Even the prosperous Capital city fell into extreme chaos for a time.

The streets were not cleaned, and the smell was unbearable.

Daily necessities were not transported or provided, and the market was chaotic.

The departure of maids and servants in the mansion made those nobles unable to take care of themselves for a while.

All kinds of chaos were caused by the sudden disappearance of the common people at the bottom of the pyramid, leading to the collapse of the entire social division of labor structure.

What heroes, what royal nobles, what leaders of world trends. All upper-class people originally thought that it was themselves, or their ancestors, who brought development to this world and progress to civilization, and those lowly people just enjoyed all this lying down.

But now it seems that it is not the case at all. Without the lowly people at the bottom, some nobles and ladies couldn't even take care of their own excrement.

The normal operation of society stagnated, and only the remaining coolies and old women were now regarded as treasures by those wealthy families.

Looking at the south bank of the Panlong Jiang.

The new world ruled by the Demon Lord, however, showed unprecedented prosperity.

All industries developed fairly and balanced.

Laws were fair, social classes flowed up and down, and everyone was of one mind. Under the auspices of the Three Mountains and Four Seas and the New God Society, the All-Industry Federation was established.

Any profession is sacred.

The dignity and personality of any person are sacred.

In the All-Industry Federation, everyone is equal, at least in law, and it will never be like the Imperial Dynasty era, which favored nobles from the root.

More importantly, the All-Industry Federation controlled the most important thing in the entire cultivation world, which was divine objects.

The distribution of divine objects was all witnessed by the balance of fairness and chosen by oneself. As long as you are excellent enough, regardless of your birth, regardless of your background, you can obtain divine objects and become a great cultivator. This also fundamentally eliminated all possibilities of class solidification.

On this basis, the All-Industry Federation also pioneered basic cultivation schools. Ensuring that every citizen of the All-Industry Federation could obtain cultivation from it, preventing some families from swallowing resources and dominating.

As long as you are excellent enough in the All-Industry Federation, you can go further.

And the biggest problem facing the All-Industry Federation at present is the problem of divine objects. Because the cultivation surface has been fully expanded, there are many cultivators, and there are not enough divine objects.

The Demon Lord governing the Underworld can certainly continuously transform divine objects, but this speed cannot keep up with the development speed of the All-Industry Federation.

So the Demon Lord wants the Fire Mulberry Tree that gathered all the totem cores of the ancient tribal era. If there is a Fire Mulberry Tree, all these problems will be solved. Otherwise, the Underworld governed by the Demon Lord will inevitably give birth to many new gods after the spiritual world of the human world expands. This is something the Demon Lord does not want to see.

With himself, governing the balance of fairness, it is enough to make this world prosperous. The Underworld and the material world will also reach an unprecedented degree of integration. When Yin and Yang are one, the entire world will inevitably move toward a higher peak.

What will be there, the Demon Lord is very curious. Just like Huo Sang Daoren, by creating a new world, the entire world reached the strength of a God King.

"Please Empress ascend the throne."

Great Chu Imperial Dynasty, Li Hongyu was surrounded by the Nine Thousand Years Old, the old eunuch of Zhenshen Pass, and the four commanders of the Xuan Yi Wei.

A country cannot be without a master for a day.

The Nine Thousand Years Old had been regent for ten years, but he could not ascend that throne after all.

After thinking about it, the Nine Thousand Years Old and Li Qingxian felt that pushing Li Hongyu to that position was the most suitable. Now that Li Xianzhi had been in the Underworld, they didn't know how to act. Before Li Xianzhi gave some instructions, they could only guard this broken Imperial Dynasty.

Plus the Old God Society, Long Zhan and others kept emphasizing the importance of the Great Chu Imperial Dynasty's legal system, making everyone dare not be careless.

"Please young lady ascend the throne."

Among all the people, Li Dongdong was probably the happiest.

Upon learning that Li Hongyu was Li Xianzhi's biological daughter, Li Dongdong identified this young lady. Usually, he always served Li Hongyu as a junior, with a cheeky face.

Even though Li Hongyu was very resistant to this identity

Now that everyone was supporting Li Hongyu as the new Empress, this was, in Li Dongdong's eyes, a supreme honor.

"Would it kill you to say less?"

Bai Wu did not know why she had come to carry out a mission with such a person.

With such a big forehead, how could they fail to read the room? Didn't they see that girl, looking completely unwilling, yet still pushing herself forward?

"I can't do it."

Li Hongyu waved her hands and retreated a few steps.

Everyone knew what kind of state the Great Chu Dynasty was in these days. It was precarious, hearts were in turmoil, and the dynasty's decrees were simply insufficient to rule the many factions beneath it.

These people attacked and slaughtered one another. The victors would demote the entire clans of the defeated to slaves to serve them. In order to have someone manage their family's fields and businesses, they would slaughter mindlessly, without even needing a reason.

How could one manage it?

It simply couldn't be managed.

"Hongyu, just agree to it. We will take care of the rest for you."

Lin Lanyu held Li Hongyu's hand, trying to persuade her incessantly. Nowadays, besides Li Hongyu, there was simply no one else who could sit in that position.

Who else could sit there? Who could command respect?

Only Li Hongyu's status, along with the figure Li Xianzhi had revealed above the Yintu, could awe the entire world.

"Nine Thousand Years Old, you should do it instead."

Li Hongyu looked at Nine Thousand Years Old; she now pinned all her hopes on this Nine Thousand Years Old who had served as Regent for ten years.

Li Hongyu felt that Nine Thousand Years Old was more suitable than herself.

"I cannot do it, Junior Sister Hongyu. This throne is not something just anyone can sit on. One must have the recognition of Heaven and Earth to sit firmly in that position. If not, why would I be here making things difficult for you, Junior Sister?"

To inherit the throne, one must perform the sacrifice to Heaven.

Which was the Central Heavenly Lord currently in the Yintu.

Nine Thousand Years Old had received information from the Yintu a few days ago. In a few days, many gods would descend to the mortal realm, and they were to prepare.

The primary priority was the choice of Emperor.

"Junior Sister, this is also Master's intention. Master is currently engaged in a contest, and this matter of Great Chu is of vital importance; you must think clearly."

Nine Thousand Years Old had no choice but to bring up Li Xianzhi.

"Father!"

At the thought of that father who was like a dragon that only showed its head but never its tail, Li Hongyu felt angry. It seemed that ever since her father was resurrected, the whole world had changed. Li Hongyu even regretted not pressing the dirt on his grave down more firmly back then.

Hmph.
