Chapter 1387: Restoring Order
Immortal King Feng Wuya had been slain on the Immortal Slaying Platform.
The White-Robed Exalted Immortal mended the sky with a single sword strike. The Immortal King Palace had officially become the Four Nine Immortal Palace. The Immortal King Palace forces were being cleansed and filtered, and all of the Spring Light Palace concubines were given freedom…
One piece of news after another spread through the entire continent like wildfire.
All of the living beings on the entire continent realized one thing; there was a new master of this world, and his name was An Lin, the White-Robed Exalted Immortal!
An Lin ended Immortal King Feng Wuya’s despotic rule of close to ten thousand years, and many living beings felt as if they had finally awoken from an inescapable nightmare. All of them knew that An Lin had obtained victory in a direct battle, and there was no luck involved in his victory whatsoever.
This White-Robed Exalted Immortal did not keep a harem, and he fought for female rights and saved the world by mending the sky with a single sword strike. This new master of the continent was surely better than the Immortal King, right?
Within an obscure paradise.
The twenty thousand women who had been rescued from the Leaping Wolf Mansion and the two thousand concubines who had been rescued from the Spring Light Palace were visited by the White-Robed Exalted Immortal again.
He looked at all of them with a smile on his face. “Immortal King Feng Wuya is dead. I call the shots on this continent, and you’re all free from this day forth!”
They would never forget the warm yet firm expression on the White-Robed Exalted Immortal’s face as he uttered those words. He was so dazzling and glorious at that moment.
All of the women were free, but that was not the end of the story.
White-Robed Exalted Immortal An Lin and the Happy Pill Demon King Yi Xi began to track down all of the Immortal King’s residual forces, the most prominent of which were the six Kun Lun Divine Generals. Among the six Divine Generals, Xing Long and Du Hua refused to yield and were slain in battle.
Gui Teng was yet to be found.
He Shen and Yan Ji both surrendered and swore dao heart vows to give their all to the Four Nine Immortal Palace for as long as they lived. Not only that, but they also willingly offered most of their riches as a contribution to restoring order to the Divine Source Continent…
Aside from that, all of the remaining residual forces of the Immortal King Palace had either fled or surrendered. Some of the ones who had committed particularly heinous crimes were violently executed, no matter what positions they held in the past.
In just a short one month, the total forces of the Immortal King Palace had almost been halved.
However, all of the living beings on this continent knew that as long as the White-Robed Exalted Immortal lived, the Four Nine Immortal Palace was invincible and would continue to govern this entire world!
Just when all of the living beings thought that everything would come to a conclusion there.
A new policy was announced, which shocked the entire world.
Depending on the circ.u.mstances, all of the districts and regions governed by the Divine Source Continent would only have to contribute a mere ten to twenty percent of what they originally had to as tax to the Four Nine Immortal Palace!
What effect did this have?
Put it this way. Even the most poverty-stricken areas now had more than enough to sustain themselves!
No one could believe that the Four Nine Immortal Palace would willingly decrease its income by eighty to ninety percent!
All living beings were greedy by nature. Cultivating living beings were not exempt from this trait either, and all of them wanted more cultivating resources for themselves. However, the Four Nine Immortal Palace, or rather, the White-Robed Exalted Immortal, was willing to sacrifice all that for the greater good. How much will and resolution did that require?
The resources they were receiving now from taxation were probably only just enough to maintain the Four Nine Immortal Palace.
Even if the White-Robed Exalted Immortal wanted to curry the public’s favor, he could just decrease taxation by thirty percent, and all of the living beings across the entire continent would still weep tears of elation and grat.i.tude.
No one believed that the White-Robed Exalted Immortal would actually enact a policy like this until the day it was actually enacted. This was something that had gone beyond their wildest imaginations.
In a very short span of time, all living beings on the Divine Source Continent were revering the White-Robed Exalted Immortal as their G.o.d!
Immediately afterward, he announced another series of earth-shattering new policies.
For example, over a thousand districts that were once countries before being conquered by the Immortal King were now autonomous regions. To put it in simpler terms, the Four Nine Immortal Palace was handing over part of the reins to them and not governing everything as a dictators.h.i.+p.
All of the Immortal King amba.s.sadors had been transformed into white-robed amba.s.sadors. Not only were they not high and mighty representatives of the White-Robed Exalted Immortal, but they were also public servants who worked only for the people! They were strictly prohibited from forcing any of the citizens of the Divine Source Continent into doing anything against their will.
There were regular posts set up across the entire continent where normal citizens could file reports. If the white-robed amba.s.sadors did anything wrong, the citizens could file reports against them, upon which the people from the Four Nine Immortal Palace would carry out an investigation before making their decision on this matter.
This time, all of the living beings were truly overwhelmed and overawed.
The white-robed amba.s.sadors were now white-robed angels!
If any of the governments in the autonomous regions extorted the public in any way, citizens could also file reports to the white-robed amba.s.sadors, and their reports would also go straight to the Four Nine Immortal Palace where an investigation would be carried out.
All of the living beings on the continent, regardless of whether they held lofty positions or were just ordinary citizens, had realized that the White-Robed Exalted Immortal really was doing everything he could to try and make their lives better.
Was the White-Robed Exalted Immortal a G.o.d sent down by the heavens to save them?
The White-Robed Exalted Immortal had truly been immortalized as a G.o.d.
Not only was he a G.o.d to the ma.s.ses, but even Return to Void Stage exalted immortals were also extremely reverent toward him.
Even though the Four Nine Immortal Palace was handing over control to over a thousand autonomous regions, they were still the premier power in this world, kind of like the equivalent of the United Nations in the mortal world. The only difference was, this United Nations was like a dormant lion. It wouldn’t do anything under normal circ.u.mstances, but if something arose that required it to act, it held crus.h.i.+ng military power and could remedy the issue with absolute force!
This was a force with absolute power, but it also abided firmly by the ideals of justice and fairness. There really was no reason for anyone to oppose a force like this.
After that, all of their subsequent policies were pa.s.sed extremely smoothly.
For example, kneeling was abolished, all sorts of new laws were introduced, a female rights union was established with Yan Shuqin as the president…
An Lin could see a new world slowly taking shape, and he was elated to see that it was progressing toward a much better place.
Within the Four Nine Immortal Palace.
“I’ve done everything I need to do. I have no regrets about my trip to the Divine Source Continent, but it’s time for me to go back.”
An Lin sipped on some tea as he spoke with a content smile.
Yang Lingqian’s hands faltered slightly during the process of brewing tea, and she looked up at An Lin. “So soon? Shouldn’t you stay for a while longer? What is the Four Nine Immortal Palace going to do without you?”
She was the only one on this continent who knew who the White-Robed Exalted Immortal was.
She knew that both the White-Robed Exalted Immortal and the Happy Pill Demon King were powerful beings from another world!
