Chapter 313: Ministry of Internal Affairs Efficiency

The so-called Aspace Evil God is born from the souls of countless people who died while harboring various extreme emotions.

These souls harboring extreme emotions gather into the Sea of Souls, turning the Sea of Souls into a twisted sea filled with despair, madness, and anger.

Thereafter, in this boundless twisted sea, the four strongest emotions eventually coalesce into the Four Gods.

After Xisi previously shared his idea with Luojia, why did Luojia show a troubled expression?

Because Luojia, who deeply understands this core, knows that without solving the galaxy's cesspool, even if the Four Gods before them are wiped out, more Four Gods will still be bred later.

This is also why, after Xisi returned to Terra, even the Divine Emperor was not in a hurry to see him, but rather he first came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Although it cannot be said to be 100%, nor can it be said to be the responsibility of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

But improving the Ministry of Internal Affairs is, for Xisi right now, the easiest place to rectify this dire situation of the Sea of Souls.

After all, compared to immediately repelling the soon-to-be-complete Dead Spirits and slaughtering the Tyranid Swarm, rectifying the Ministry of Internal Affairs is undoubtedly the simplest.

Because Xisi intends, through rectifying the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to improve the Empire's administrative efficiency, thereby raising the living standards of all humanity across the galaxy!

Why are there so many extreme emotions?

Because the galaxy is a cesspool!

Then, if I find a way to improve humanity's living conditions, wouldn't that cleanse the Four Gods at the root?

Xisi's idea need not be spelled out; the Divine Emperor and Makado immediately understood it.

Moreover, this plan, under the high pressure of the Dead Spirits' cult, is something the Four Gods can barely accept.

Soon, with a flash of teleportation light, they appeared directly on the outdoor platform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Xisi, accompanied by the Gold-word Envoy Luojia and the Terra Representative Fanluosi, appeared before the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Besides the crowd that had long been waiting, and besides Tulazhen, an old acquaintance up front, the other two were Makado and Rogdoren.

A hint of emotion flashed in Xisi's eyes as he looked at the still-healthy Makado, and at Rogdoren, who had not disappeared together with the other Original Bodies.

Xisi knew that, despite his two consecutive returns to 30K, he had still greatly turned the tide for the Empire.

Otherwise, the Empire at the outset, supported only by Kiriman, would have been in a half-dead state.

Even the near-complete Dead Spirits, even with the Four Gods going all-in, would have already wiped humanity from the galaxy!

Xisi did not act arrogantly; at least when facing the elder Makado, he stepped forward first and bowed.

Xisi bowed, and the surrounding Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel, even Tulazhen, seeing this, hurriedly lowered their heads, beating Xisi to it.

They feared that if they lowered their heads too slowly, they might be suspected of secretly accepting Xisi's homage.

On the Ministry of Internal Affairs side, those who still kept their heads up were none other than Makado... and Rogdoren.

Rogdoren not only did not lower his head, but instead faced Xisi head-on without showing any weakness.

However, Xisi didn't mind this; he never cared much for such petty formalities, and he was certainly not the obstinate sort of Original Body.

On the contrary, facing the deliberately head‑up Rogdoren, Xisi silently muttered to himself, "I am Rogdoren," and gave a slight smile as a gesture.

Not receiving any dissatisfaction or imagined scrutiny from Xisi, but rather encountering the friendly Rogdoren, this left him somewhat at a loss.

Still, he did not lower his head, nor did he return a smile in kind, but Rogdoren, facing Xisi, at least leveled his gaze back.

On the contrary, Makado up front smiled and returned the salute to Xisi.

Thereafter, using the efficiency that governs the entire Empire's internal affairs, he spoke directly:

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs is all ready, the High Lords are also at work, I'll accompany you to take a good look."

Makado said this and then directly stepped aside, gesturing to Xisi.

Xisi also had no nonsense, and followed the path Makado cleared into the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Immediately after passing through the gate, the cool, dry air inside rushed over him, directly washing away the heat he had brought from the harsh external environment.

This was not out of concern for the officials' working environment by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After all, an official's worth is not much higher than a sheet of parchment.

The reason for running such perfect cold air is to avoid any possible dampness to the parchment as much as possible.

For you must know, in the eyes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Empire does not exist in reality, but exists on these sheets of parchment.

"The Star Language Hall receives infinite communications from across the galaxy every day."

"After analysis, the converted information is engraved onto parchment and then enters the Ministry of Internal Affairs' processing workflow."

Makado walked ahead, continually pointing to the boundless parchment around him, and when uttering words like "infinite," his face showed no exaggerated expression.

Rather, it was a plain statement of fact.

Xisi then glanced around, casually picked up a roll of parchment piled nearby, opened it, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"It is a letter from the Eastern Star Region, an urgent plea for aid concerning the Tyranid Swarm."

"It seems they desperately need Terra's assistance; I see the time is......"

Xisi did not finish speaking; upon looking at the date, he immediately froze.

Makado, however, was unfazed; even the numb, dull-witted Ministry of Internal Affairs officials beside him showed no emotional fluctuation.

"Of course it's urgent; if it weren't urgent, it wouldn't even appear in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Hearing this, Xisi couldn't help but lift his head, pick up the scroll to explain, but Makado didn't even bother to look, simply striding forward:

"It's only been five hundred years; being able to send it from the Star Language Hall to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and wait to enter the processing workflow is already quite fast."

Makado directly swallowed what Xisi wanted to say, while Xisi stubbornly glanced at the parchment again, then reluctantly put it back.

The urgent plea from five hundred years ago...

The world seeking aid is not even dead; it might even have been retaken and resettled with humanity, and previous pleas for aid have still not entered the processing workflow.

This administrative efficiency is simply low enough to make one's hair stand on end.

Xisi felt he had finally glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of the Empire's inefficient administration, but it was only Makado's next sentence that truly showed him what Imperial management entails.

"They should be grateful that what was sent was a plea for aid, not that they couldn't hold out."

"Otherwise, if the Ministry of Internal Affairs judged it to have no rescue value, what would be sent over could only be an extermination order."

Extinction Order?

But the problem is the five‑hundred‑year span; if this place is still the human world, then either it has been blocked, or it has been reclaimed and resettled.

At this moment, if you send the Extinction Order over, wouldn't that be…

As if knowing what Xisi was thinking, Maka Duo turned back and simply nodded:

"Yes, the Empire itself turned the world it had defended with countless lives and courage into ash."

"Therefore, no matter how exaggerated Terra's response to you is compared to your current situation, there's no need to be surprised."

Speaking so, Maka Duo led Xisi onward, and they soon arrived at a Core Area of the Interior Department, where the great doors opened.

A group of High Lords sat at their stations, heads bowed in busy work, and among them stood a tall figure clad in golden armor.

Upon seeing this figure, everyone around immediately fell to their knees, including Maka Duo and Luogeduoen.

Only Xisi remained stunned on the spot, trembling as he pointed toward it.

"You…?"

"Got up?!"
