Chapter 2350: Stability Promotes Reproduction

————Something came up, this chapter will be late~~

Based on this judgment, Xia Duo had another hypothesis: that regarding Order Force, there must exist a way to use it in a manifested form, similar to Holy Power, possessing the power to intervene in Reality in a true and tangible way.

Perhaps this is the key hallmark of a truly mature Magic civilization; civilization shapes order, and order in turn feeds back into civilization, influencing and achieving one another.

But unfortunately, from the time he completed the Territory Order Cycle in the Main Plane until now, Xia Duo had not been able to find a method for Order Force to intervene in Reality, and now that he was in the Projection Plane, it was even more impossible; here, he couldn't even conduct relevant experiments.

However, although he could not conduct experiments related to Order Force here, perfecting order was still feasible; after all, even if he could conduct experiments, Xia Duo would not know where to start.

……

Although there was no cyclic state of Order Force to use as a reference, as an Order Creator who had already practiced in a Territory in the Main Plane, Xia Duo was very clear about where the problems in the current Demon Descendant New Homeland lay.

Order is not a rigid and inflexible set of commandments, but a state of healthy operation for an entire system. What the Demon Descendants lacked most right now was the shaping of new viewpoints and the execution of new rules.

Research Institute.

Xia Duo called a halt to all research work here, brought an Elder in charge of the Research Institute, and personally set to work clearing away the scattered Demon Aura here, while also reinforcing the various Protection measures of the Research Institute.

The leader and the Elder had both come, and had even personally taken action, so the Researchers at the Research Institute certainly could not just watch; one by one, they followed behind to assist.

Two days later, after all the Demon Aura in the Research Institute had been purged, Xia Duo divided management posts within the Research Institute; from now on, the order of the Research Institute would be left to them to take responsibility for.

As for the future research direction of the Research Institute, it could not be decided by the Researchers in technical positions themselves, but should be discussed and decided by the Executive Advisory Group, and then handed over to the management posts of the Research Institute for more specific internal planning.

Zhengwuyuan.

In reality, this was the Executive Council. Xia Duo was already considering personnel arrangements for after he left. Several Elders had to be promoted to the positions of Executive Consultant; otherwise, how would the Permission Levels of the Elders, the leader (Crown King), and the Executive Consultants be arranged?

From now on, there would be no more Elders, but rather former Executive Consultants, who would join the Research Institute to make contributions after retiring, instead of handling specific government affairs.

Executive Consultants would serve one-hundred-year terms. The first term might be a bit troublesome, but it might also be the easiest to resolve, because those Elders were all wholeheartedly thinking of the Demon Descendants. As long as he could make them understand that doing so was good for the Demon Descendants, they would do it without hesitation.

Successors might be more troublesome. Executive Consultant, as the name implies, refers to the centralized system of Ilefarn in the Main Plane. With great power in hand, how many people would not be tempted?

The Crown King of Ilefarn in the Main Plane was left with almost nothing but supervisory power, while all other affairs were held by the Executive Advisory Group. Placed here, this was exactly what Xia Duo needed to do.

It was better for power to be held by the Executive Advisory Group than to be controlled by a single Crown King. Multi-person governance would be more inclined toward conservative decision-making, or rather, more inclined toward rationality. At the same time, in order to maintain legitimacy (traditionally, the Crown King governs), they would also more strongly uphold this system, and consequently, more strongly uphold the person who created this system—Xia Duo.

In this way, many of Xia Duo's plans could be passed down continuously. One thousand years was not too long a time for the Demon Descendants; perhaps none of the current Demon Descendants would die, and even if there were new Demon Descendants, it was highly probable that no accidents would occur.

……

Autumn and winter.

Xia Duo almost hand-in-hand guided the Elders on how to operate the new system. What made them feel most uncomfortable was not the complex rules of the new system, but the issue of the boundaries of power.

In the past, an Elder could manage everything; for any single matter, every Elder had almost identical decision-making power. Under the new system, however, power had boundaries.

For example, the Elder in charge of the Research Institute only had higher-weighted say in the field of research, while the Elder in charge of war (including guard training and exploration teams) only had higher-weighted say in the field of war.

Others, such as industry, education, and people's livelihood, each had specialized Executive Consultants in charge.

Unless all other consultants in the Executive Advisory Group opposed it, the decision-making power within a certain field was basically up to the Executive Consultant in charge of that field alone.

Of course, major events were excluded, such as deciding to go to war with a certain country, or changing certain major decisions made previously, and so on.

In the process of helping the several Elders—no, it should be said, the Executive Consultants—get started, the Inheritance Ritual played a very critical role. This thing could not only be used to inherit Magic Knowledge, but it was also equally adept at handling laws and regulations.

Even because they were composed of natural language themselves, they were easier for the inheritor to understand.

Under Xia Duo's requirement, all managers under the new system accepted the Inheritance Ritual related to the new system. Limited by the shortage of resources, the general public learned about it through daily legal education.

Of course, even if there were sufficient resources, Xia Duo would not force everyone to accept the Inheritance Ritual. It could be mandatory for managers, but it was unnecessary for the general public; it needed to be based on Guidance, otherwise, it would inevitably be counterproductive.

This is probably the so-called "He who wears the crown must bear its weight."

……

Winter passes and spring comes.

As the rectification within the system continued, the Chixin Tribe Territory changed almost by the day. Almost every department was infused with Xia Duo's thoughts and concepts.

Here, there would be no class discrimination of traditional Elf society, and even less of the laxity and debauchery of traditional Elf society; there was only an endless, positive, and upward-striving vitality.

But Xia Duo was still not very satisfied with this. This day, he came to the Zhengwuyuan. There were two Elders here today, and at this moment, they were patiently approving documents accompanied by a Clerk.

Xia Duo did not disturb them, but walked straight to the bookshelf against the wall on the side of the office hall to check the recent statistics of the territory's residents.

Because the total population was only a little over one hundred thousand, coupled with the participation of Spellcasters, the relevant statistics could be made very detailed and frequent. What he was looking at now was the population statistics result from ten days ago.

When he saw one of the data points, he couldn't help but frown deeply: "Since the completion of the New Homeland, there are actually still fewer than one hundred women pregnant?"

Taking the path of gathering the masses, of course, the more people the better, but now that the development of the territory had basically entered the right track, the people were still unwilling to get pregnant. It was hard for Xia Duo not to suspect that traditional Elf ideology was playing a trick.

Since he wanted to be a modernized (Demon Descendant) Elf, he certainly could not follow the old path. In traditional Elf society, Elf children only reach adulthood at one hundred years old, but in fact, that is more of a psychological maturity age.

Because before one hundred years old, most were raised freely, receiving the influence of various arts, and only after the coming-of-age ceremony at one hundred would they choose their future life path.

But in reality, the physiological maturity age of an Elf is not much different from that of a human. As for psychological maturity, Elves are no less stupid than humans; as long as they experience more things, they can naturally mature quickly.
