The Rebirth of the Immortal Emperor: I am the Lord

Inside the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, thirty-three city lords pleaded in unison, their eyes firm, their attitudes resolute, their words sincere, without the slightest suspicion of falsehood.

When Ye Tian heard these words, a warm current surged in his heart. He took a deep look at the city lords in front of him, then nodded solemnly and said: "City lords, please stand up. I, Ye Tian, ​​feel honored and responsible for your understanding and decision. I, Ye Tian, ​​am willing to accept your support and trust, and work together to create a brilliant future for the human race."

"Thank you, Holy Lord! From now on, we will follow your lead and sacrifice our lives for you. If you break this oath, you will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death..."

Hearing that they actually made such a solemn oath to him, Ye Tian's eyes flashed with surprise, but then it was replaced by deep relief. After everyone stood up, Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said: "I have already felt your loyalty. Your joining will undoubtedly make our strength stronger and give us more confidence to defeat the enemy. I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and challenges, reform the old and usher in the new, and let the human race stand at the top of the world again."

As Ye Tian finished speaking, there was a round of warm applause in the hall. The faces of the thirty-three city lords were filled with determination and gratitude. They knew that they had chosen the right path, a path that would lead them to a bright future.

After everyone was quiet, Ye Tian continued: "But this is just the beginning, the start. We still have a long way to go and many challenges to face. But as long as we unite as one and work together, nothing can stop us. I believe that in the near future, we will witness the revival and glory of the human race together."

He paused, his eyes swept over every city lord present, and then he said solemnly: "Since you have sincerely joined my camp and are determined to work hard for the rise of the human race, from now on, we will be a close-knit group, fighting together for the future of the human race. I hope that everyone can work together and support each other to make our group an invincible force."

All the city lords responded in unison, expressing that they would do their best to support Ye Tian’s leadership and jointly create a new chapter for the human race.

Ye Tian smiled and nodded. He didn't expect that at this critical moment, he would be able to welcome the initiative of thirty-three cities to surrender. But he knew that from this moment on, the development of Yanhuang Palace and the human race had taken an important step towards revival, and it was also a key step. He would rebuild the Great Wasteland City with the cities under his command and the original Great Wasteland City as the starting point, lead and develop the power of the cities under his command, cut through the thorns, move towards a more glorious future, and let the human race stand at the top of the world again.

The sudden oath of joining by the thirty-three cities, on the one hand, may be that these cities really can no longer bear the exploitation of the Gale Empire; on the other hand, it may also be due to the pressure from the invasion of the demons and the turmoil of the Gale Empire. But in any case, the reason why they chose to join Ye Tian at this time is definitely not a momentary impulse, but a well-thought-out decision. Ye Tian did not despise their predicament, but was deeply respected and gratified for their choice.

Ye Tian knew that these city lords might have heard of his reputation and witnessed the combat effectiveness of the Yanhuang Guards. At the same time, they might have felt the benefits of the various policies and measures he implemented in Fuxing City. In addition, the cultivation techniques, immortal magic, alchemy, formation and prohibition techniques that Ye Tian brought out, which were considered taboos in the sect empire, were widely taught and practiced under Ye Tian's leadership. The subjects and common people who were feared by the empire were extremely rare assets for Ye Tian.

All the measures to benefit the people and businesses, management and development, government offices, treatment of soldiers and generals, cultivation resources, etc., most of these have never been seen before, and they have never dared to imagine them before. Now, under Ye Tian's leadership, they have been realized one by one. This was something they could not catch up with even if they flattered, but without exception, they were all eager to get it.

They knew that it was not because Ye Tian was so rich, but because he did not want to compete with the people for profit. And they found that Ye Tian did not seem to worry that others would not obey his orders after becoming powerful. It takes a broad mind and a noble character to do this! All of this gave the city lords hope and made them more confident in their future.

Ye Tian's foresight and strong ability were once again demonstrated. For many city lords, his promise was not just empty talk, but proved through actual actions. Ye Tian was not worried that they would not obey his orders after becoming strong, because he knew that the real power came from the hearts of people, from trust and recognition, rather than blindly suppressing them.

Helplessly, after the thirty-three city lords swore their allegiance, Ye Tian once again reiterated the arrangements he had made for officials such as Zhao Yi, Zhong Sun Quan, and Shen Tu Wu Zhi. At the same time, Ye Tian generously taught the officials present advanced skills and magical combat techniques suitable for their cultivation based on their blood and physical conditions. This move not only made the officials present grateful, but also made them deeply admire Ye Tian's leadership and generosity.

However, while teaching them martial arts, Ye Tian used the heaven-defying method of Rune Seeds. The reason why Ye Tian used Rune Seeds at this time was because he had no choice. After all, the fairy world is vast and populous. Even in the territory of each city, the population is no less than 10 million. And he does not have an excellent management team that can take charge of everything, so even if he himself is extremely capable, he is really unable to do everything. In order to ensure that his various policies can be accurately implemented, he can only take such measures.

Ye Tian had long been aware of the extraordinary power of the Rune Seed, and with his current spiritual realm, the use of the Rune Seed was even more silent. Unless someone else's spiritual realm was higher than his, they would not feel anything unusual at all.

When he passed down the skills and used the talisman seeds to this group of officials, this group of officials' trust and recognition of Ye Tian completely transformed into unconditional loyalty.

"Your subordinates pay homage to the Holy Lord. Long live the Holy Lord, long live the Holy Lord, long live the Holy Lord!" Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted in unison. Their voices were loud and firm, full of respect and loyalty to Ye Tian.

Ye Tian stood in front of them and accepted their respect with a smile. He knew that at this moment, he was not only a leader, but also a symbol of faith, reliance and spirit in their hearts.

"Please stand up, everyone." Ye Tian raised his hand and said gently.

"Thank you Holy Lord!"

After the officials thanked him and stood up, Ye Tian's eyes swept over them one by one, and then he said in a serious expression: "Now the demons are rampant, wars are constant, and the empire is incompetent. It can't resist foreign enemies, and it can't provide peace and prosperity for the people. Instead, it imposes heavy taxes and levies. The heavy burden makes our people breathless, and everyone lives in dire straits. Since we are determined to change the fate of the human race and let us stand on the top of the world again, we must exorcise the demons and evil, defeat the enemy, and reform the old and establish the new--!" Ye Tian paused, then asked: "Everyone, in addition to the matters arranged by this seat, do you have any better opinions or suggestions?"

After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. They knew that this was a rare opportunity to put forward their own opinions and suggestions to Ye Tian. After some thought, Zhao Yi, the mayor of Luoka City, stood up and said, "Holy Lord, I think we should establish our own country, further improve the relevant administrative, military, economic and legal systems, and establish and improve relevant management agencies and departments to be responsible for managing related matters. In this way, we will not only have roots, but also be able to manage and dispatch resources more systematically, better deal with the threats of the demons and other enemies, and at the same time ensure the security, stability and prosperity of the territory under the rule of the Holy Lord."

"Holy Lord, I believe that only by establishing a country of our own can we, the people, and the army feel a greater sense of belonging, dependence, and security. Let us, let our subjects know which country they belong to? Who is the emperor of this country...?"

Zhao Yi went on to elaborate on his ideas: "First, in terms of administration, we can set up government offices at all levels, clarify the duties and powers of officials at all levels, ensure smooth implementation of government orders, and improve administrative efficiency. At the same time, we can set up supervisory agencies to supervise the performance of officials and prevent corruption and abuse of power."

"Secondly, after the Demon Clan army suffered a defeat at the hands of the Holy Lord and the Yanhuang Guards, they will never give up. I believe that it is only a matter of time before they counterattack. And after our cities break away from the rule of the Dafeng Empire, the Dafeng Empire and even the Tianyuan Immortal Palace behind the empire will definitely not give up. They will never watch us split from their rule and establish our own court, so war is inevitable."

"There are also the Luofeng Empire, the Tongqian Empire, the sects behind them, and even some other forces. Perhaps they do not want to see the Saint Lord's power grow stronger, because this will threaten their rule and interests. In my opinion, friction is inevitable. So I think we must develop our own army as soon as possible, strengthen cultivation and training, and strive to improve the strength and combat effectiveness of the army to cope with future wars!"

"In terms of economic development, I think the development model of Fuxing City is very good and provides us with a good reference and model. During operation, our cities can make some refinements and adjustments according to actual conditions to better promote the enthusiasm of various industries such as agriculture and commerce."

"Finally, in terms of law, we still need to improve the current laws in a more detailed manner and unify them into a relatively sound legal system of our own to regulate the behavior of our officials and subjects and maintain the normal governance system of the empire."
