Brothers, it's the last day. Vote for me!
…
Because they stayed on the sea for a few days and then returned to the Northwest Continent, they spent another ten days.
Therefore, when the army returned to Iron Furnace City, the news of victory had already spread throughout the entire Western Region.
The entire Western Region was in a carnival for several days.
That's right, the entire Western Region was in a carnival, including the countless people who had been calling for a ceasefire and were ready to surrender.
After all, they were from the Western Region, and they had won.
Most importantly, the war had ended!
The flames of war did not affect them at all. Their lives were not affected at all.
Of course, there were many people who had complicated emotions. They were the feudal lords who wanted to submit to Zhu Qingzhu.
They had thought that Yang Dingtian would undoubtedly die in this naval battle. During the few days of the battle, they had been waiting at home every day, waiting for the Central Continent army to come so that they could lead the way.
In the end, the Central Continent army did not come. Instead, they received news of Yang Dingtian's victory.
Previously, they did not believe it. They thought that Yang Dingtian was lying and bragging.
Following that, countless recording jades were sent over.
In particular, Qin Huaiyu had gathered all the feudal lords and publicly displayed hundreds of recording jades in the City Lord's Mansion.
There were scenes of the submarines ambushing the Central Continent fleet.
There were scenes of cannons bombarding the Central Continent fleet.
There were also scenes of the Central Continent fleet's main force being burned.
There were also scenes of the ancient giant beast soaring into the sky and slaughtering the leaders of the Central Continent, as well as Zhu Qingzhu escaping.
Although the quality of the recording jades was not high, they still faithfully recorded all the scenes at that time.
Yang Dingtian's victory was a foregone conclusion.
Then, all the feudal lords fell into panic and unease.
Especially the few feudal lords who had come to participate in the swearing-in ceremony in their funerals. They were completely terrified.
They had humiliated Yang Dingtian because they thought that Yang Dingtian would undoubtedly die and lose this time.
Who would have thought that he would actually win?
More than a hundred thousand people against more than eight million, and they had actually won.
A few hundred small boats and more than ten thousand large ships had actually won.
Moreover, it was a monstrous victory!
The Central State Army, with a strength a hundred times greater than theirs, suffered a humiliating defeat!
They couldn't believe it even if they died, but the reality was right in front of them. Yang Dingtian had created an unprecedented miracle!
The submarine invented by Yang Dingtian was so powerful.
The most shocking thing was that Yang Dingtian actually had such a terrifying Devil Fire Demon Phoenix and also an ancient giant beast.
With these two items, who in the world could do anything to Yang Dingtian?
In the west, Yang Dingtian had truly become the supreme ruler. If he wanted to kill these small dukes, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.
…
When Yang Dingtian and the others returned to the Northwest Continent, they had never expected to see such a scene!
It was as if everyone had flocked to Iron Furnace City.
There were at least a few million people, and the entire city was packed to the brim!
The entire Iron Furnace City was filled with fluttering banners and cheers.
And all the people with status in the west, all the dukes, and all the martial artists with a certain cultivation base were all crowded at the pier's plaza to welcome them.
To be honest, if Qin Huaiyu hadn't stopped them, this group of people would have already gone out to the sea to welcome them.
When Yang Dingtian and the others had just stepped onto land from the ship.
The entire pier and the wide road that extended into Iron Furnace City, countless people all knelt down.
"Welcome back Sect Master in triumph!"
As if they had been trained countless times, everyone shouted in unison.
"Sect Master Yang Dingtian, may you live a long life.
The Council of Light, the vast world! "
The voices of hundreds of thousands of people resounded through the sky!
Yang Dingtian immediately looked at Qin Huaiyu.
Qin Huaiyu shook his head, indicating that all this wasn't organized by him.
Even when hundreds of thousands of people knelt down, Qin Huaiyu didn't kneel down. Song Xiao hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Qin Huaiyu didn't kneel down, he also didn't kneel down.
At this time, those who knelt were all outsiders, while his own people stood ramrod straight.
Yang Dingtian didn't like people kneeling. He and Qin Huaiyu and the others were life and death brothers.
At this time, he and Song Xiao were like-minded comrades who didn't care about seniority at all.
Looking at the hundreds of thousands of people kneeling neatly on the ground, with only countless heads visible, Yang Dingtian frowned and said, "Get up!"
Immediately, everyone present stood up.
Yang Dingtian didn't know how to act, nor would he go up and ask about these people's well-being. He only had a calm expression, neither close nor cold.
However, there were still a dozen people who didn't get up.
Yang Dingtian was able to tell that these people were the feudal vassals who wore the funeral attire during the swearing in ceremony.
These people were naked from the waist up, dripping with blood as they knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Even more outrageous was that three of them were the sons of dukes. They directly held three heads and knelt on the ground in front of Yang Dingtian, not daring to get up.
These three dukes were actually dead.
Don't know if they committed suicide or were killed by their own family forces. In short, Yang Dingtian hadn't ordered punishment yet, and they were actually dead.
Qin Huaiyu stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Hearing the news of Sect Master's great victory, one of them was so scared that his guts were torn apart and committed suicide.
There were also two dukes whose clansmen were afraid of being implicated and directly killed the two of them, delivering their heads! "
Seeing Yang Dingtian approach, those dozen dukes kowtowed even more desperately, knocking their foreheads against the hard ground. Their faces were directly covered in blood as they cried bitterly.
"Sect Master treated us in the western region with great kindness.
However, we were deranged, greedy for life and afraid of death, and actually disrespected Sect Master.
We simply deserve ten thousand deaths for our crimes. We don't have the face to live in this world. We should commit suicide to apologize to the world!
However, we were afraid that our suicide would tarnish Sect Master's benevolent name, so we didn't know whether to live or die!
Today, Sect Master returned in triumph and defeated the traitor Zhu Qingzhu.
We originally didn't have the face to come, but for such a great cause, even if we are despised by the masses, we still have to come and congratulate.
After seeing Sect Master Wei Yan, we will immediately return home and quickly die! "
The leader of the dukes had rehearsed this sentence countless times.
It was completely in cadence. When they were happy, they were incomparably passionate.
When they were sad, they cried bitterly.
Listening to it, it was completely touching.
It had to be said that in any plane, in any era, the upper echelons were all experts in acting. They were all movie emperors.
The Primal Chaos Continent was no exception.
Now, the one who was crying bitterly and reciting this sentence was undoubtedly the best acting among these dukes, which was why he was pushed out.
However, these acting skills were useless in front of Yang Dingtian.
These upper echelons were actors, but Yang Dingtian wasn't. In front of hundreds of thousands of people, he was too lazy to act, let alone a few dukes.
"Go back. Whether you die or not, we'll talk about it later." Yang Dingtian said.
These words were obviously extremely cold, but the dukes seemed to have received a huge favor. They knelt down loudly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master. We beasts are indescribably grateful and guilty!"
He shouted so loudly because he wanted everyone to hear that Yang Dingtian had forgiven them.
This group of idiots, they still wanted to play tricks at this time!
However, in the entire West Continent, the strategy of purging the dukes had already been set.
The Council of Light had directly mobilized one million troops to carry out the entire purge plan.
In the face of such monstrous power, what use was there to play tricks?!
As for carrying out the entire purge plan, Yang Dingtian planned to hand it over to Qin Huaiyu, Song Chunhua, Duan Ruyan, and Chou Yiming!
First of all, these four people represented four forces.
Qin Huaiyu was smart and cunning, Song Chunhua was impartial, Duan Ruyan was cold and heartless, and Chou Yiming's thinking was simple.
The four of them could make up for each other and complete the entire purge plan.
Yang Dingtian considered letting Song Xiao carry it out, but Song Xiao was too extreme and ruthless.
If he were to let him carry it out, the entire West Continent would be slaughtered until rivers of blood flowed.
This purge would definitely result in deaths, and many, many deaths.
However, Yang Dingtian still hoped that the number of deaths could be reduced as much as possible.
In private, Yang Dingtian had already instructed Song Chunhua and Qin Huaiyu.
In this purge of the dukes, it was best that the number of deaths did not exceed 100,000, the fewer the better.
This number sounded like a lot, but the West Continent was too big.
Yang Dingtian's policy was equivalent to directly depriving thousands of dukes of their territories and forces. There would definitely be people who would rebel.
There were two areas of severe disaster here. One was the Southwest Continent, which was almost ownerless.
The other was south of the Sunset Mountains, east of West Continent City. There were many independent dukes here!
If not for the Doomsday Battle, Yang Dingtian would definitely not touch these dukes.
However, for the Doomsday Battle, in order to consolidate the West Continent into a huge fist, Yang Dingtian had no choice but to do so!
...
When returning to the City Lord's Residence in Yan City, Yang Dingtian wanted to directly fly back, ignoring the cheers of the citizens.
Because before this, these people had all been in the camp of surrendering.
In the end, it was Qin Wanchou who persuaded Yang Dingtian. He only said one sentence.
"Sect Master, these citizens are sincerely supporting and worshipping you now.
You can't give up on them just because they were once foolish. In the future, they will also become righteous and loyal citizens. "
Then, Yang Dingtian humbly accepted the advice.
Along the way, he personally faced the cheers of countless citizens!
Just like that, he returned to the headquarters of the Council of Light with incomparable difficulty!
...
After returning to the headquarters of the Council of Light, without any false words, he directly announced that he would immediately establish a management team in the West Continent and prepare for the establishment of the West Continent.
He would immediately establish two million West Continent soldiers.
After one million elites were established, he would immediately begin the purge of the dukes.
Moreover, the work of moving the Council of Light to the West Capital would immediately begin!
Of course, this work would take a long time and require incomparably complicated work, requiring tens of millions of dollars to operate.
At present, the most important thing was to transfer tens of thousands of people to the headquarters of the Council of Light to be in charge of all affairs in the West Continent!
Previously, the Council of Light only had less than ten people at the highest level.
The rest were still doing their own things.
Even the affairs of the headquarters of the Council of Light were directly transferred over from Cloud Sky City by Yang Dingtian. Tang Bozhao and Song Lihua were in charge of all the administrative matters. They were so busy that they were about to die.
Even this time, Tang Bozhao and Song Lihua did not have the time to go to the docks to welcome Yang Dingtian.
In the long run, this would definitely not work.
Therefore, a few forces immediately drew up a thick list of tens of thousands of people.
Then, they immediately sent the winged cavalry to pick up the people directly. They immediately entered the civil officials group in the Council of Light and immediately started all the affairs in the West Continent.
Ten thousand civil officials might seem like a lot, but the West Continent was too big at that time. Organizing the affairs in the West Continent was incomparably complicated.
Tens of thousands of civil officials carrying out these affairs was already extremely burdensome.
As long as the power structure of the Council of Light was completely set up.
Then, the next series of affairs, such as the division of defense areas, the establishment of the army, and the purge of the dukes, could all be carried out!
...
The meeting lasted for an entire day and night.
Hundreds of people at the headquarters of the Council of Light finally decided on all the specific affairs in the West Continent.
The reorganization of the West Continent seemed to be only five steps.
However, when it was refined, there were actually thousands of them.
And each of them had many complicated affairs.
Just the original herbal book alone had more than a hundred thousand words.
By the time all the plans were detailed into a book, there would probably be a few million words, which would be as long as dozens of thick books.
In the end, all the affairs in the West Continent would be carried out according to these detailed plans!
...
Yang Dingtian originally thought that after the war, he would have little leisure time.
However, he did not expect that he would enter the craziest busy period.
Not only him, but almost all the members of the Council of Light did not even have the time to eat or drink tea 24 hours a day, let alone sleep.
There were countless affairs that they had to deal with.
Yang Dingtian had almost delegated all his power, but there were still countless affairs that required his final approval.
Yang Dingtian did not understand most of these matters. He had never been a civil servant.
Therefore, Yang Dingtian put all the political affairs aside.
However, in the end, there were still countless documents that were sent to him for his final signature.
Yang Dingtian said that there was no need for him to sign. As long as the highest level of the Council of Light approved it, it would be fine.
Song Lihua said that these matters were too important and that the Sect Master had to sign them.
Yang Dingtian said, "It's been almost ten days, and I've already signed thousands of documents. Are these thousands of documents too important?"
Song Chunhua nodded and said, "That's right, they're all important matters."
Yang Dingtian doubted that there were so many important matters.
Then, he casually took out a document and read it. This was a document about the construction of submarines, the relevant bases, materials, and so on.
Then, he took out another document. This was about the garrison of the Southwest Continent, the defensive area of the Wooden Sword Castle, and the defensive area of the Sky Phoenix Pavilion.
Then, he casually took out another document. This was about the construction of the Extreme South City at the southernmost tip of the Southwest Continent and the establishment of the Southwest Fleet to garrison there.
That's right, these were all important matters.
Yang Dingtian finally took out a document. It was about the strategic deployment of kerosene, the garrison of the Sunset Mountains, and the establishment of the Sunset Mountains production corps.
Song Lihua was right. These were all important matters.
In any country, such important matters would require the signature of the highest commander.
And now, there were thousands of such important matters.
Thus, Yang Dingtian was completely trapped in the Council of Light headquarters. Every day, he would sign, sign, sign!
Finally, Yang Dingtian couldn't help but ask, "Will there be so many things to do every day in the future?"
Song Lihua smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's only so much at the beginning.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. After these important matters are settled, you'll be free! "
"Then, when can I leave?
I'm still in a hurry to go to Earth Fissure City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion. "Yang Dingtian said.
"There's no hurry."
Song Chunhua said, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already decided. Before the envoys from Earth Fissure City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion arrive, you definitely can't go to Earth Fissure City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion."
"Then, have the envoys from these two forces arrived?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"No." Song Lihua said.
Yang Dingtian was surprised. It wasn't strange that the Cloud Sky Pavilion didn't come, but why hadn't the envoys from Earth Fissure City arrived?
After the Council of Light's victory over Middle Ground, Earth Fissure City should have sent their envoys immediately.
Although the Elders Guild of Earth Fissure City had betrayed the Council of Light, Kui Ning still had the 3,000 Demon Vulture Army. They were still Yang Dingtian's sworn brothers.
"However, there are many envoys from Middle Ground. There are already 48 of them. They are all here to congratulate the Council of Light on its establishment.
Even more than 10 envoys from the East Continent came. "Song Lihua said," But these matters are too small to report to you. "
Yang Dingtian was stunned. Even the arrival of more than 10 envoys from Middle Ground was considered a small matter.
"Is there any news about Zhu Qingzhu?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Yes." Song Lihua said, "Zhu Qingzhu returned to Black Heaven Sect and vomited blood again.
Then, he immediately went into seclusion and refused to see anyone.
Then, the entire Black Heaven Sect was placed under house arrest! "
Yang Dingtian asked, "What's the current situation in Middle Ground?"
"It's chaos!" Song Lihua said, "It's been more than a month since the battle in Middle Ground.
After the eight million soldiers from Middle Ground returned to Middle Ground, especially after the tens of thousands of captives we rescued set foot in Middle Ground.
The Council of Light's fame has spread throughout Middle Ground.
Your fame has also spread throughout Middle Ground.
Zhu Qingzhu's reputation is very bad now!
He's not far from being completely ruined.
Now, many low-level martial artists have begun to discuss joining the Council of Light. The Black Cavalry of the Middle Ground Tiandō League also doesn't dare to capture and kill people casually.
The most obvious thing is that the arrest warrant for you and all of us in Middle Ground has been revoked! "
In fact, the real situation in Middle Ground was more complicated than what Song Lihua had said.
It could be said that after the complete defeat of the Middle Ground army.
Especially after the eight million defeated soldiers returned to Middle Ground, and the leaders of the several hundred forces returned to Middle Ground dejectedly.
A huge wave was set off in Middle Ground for tens of thousands of miles!
Yang Dingtian's reputation instantly reached the peak!
It wasn't hostility, but worship!
Especially the middle and low-level martial artists and the army. Their respect and worship for Yang Dingtian reached the peak in an instant!
Originally, everyone was clear about the justice and evil between Yang Dingtian and Zhu Qingzhu.
Now, Yang Dingtian had won a complete victory.
Especially the scene of Yang Dingtian standing on the giant ancient beast that was thousands of feet tall, it was engraved in the hearts of countless people.
That scene was too shocking.
Therefore, Yang Dingtian had become a legend in Middle Ground at this time.
They were about to praise him to the heavens, and they thought that he was a god.
Now, countless people in Middle Ground were waiting for Yang Dingtian to become the supreme leader of the Council of Light.
Of course, these were only the thoughts of the middle and low-level martial artists and the army.
As for the high-level martial artists and the leaders of the various forces, although they had sent envoys to West Ground, they didn't make any sound.
However, they themselves did not make any noise. They were absolutely silent about their defeat.
They were still afraid of Zhu Qingzhu.
Before Zhu Qingzhu was completely eliminated, they definitely wouldn't dare to make a public statement!
After all, Yang Dingtian was too far away, and Zhu Qingzhu was in Middle Ground!
...
Next, Yang Dingtian acted as a signing machine and worked crazily for close to ten days!
He had no idea how many documents he had signed!
Each of these documents determined the fate of countless people.
Once Yang Dingtian signed it, it would become the supreme order, and countless copies would be immediately sent to the entire West Continent. Then, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people would revolve around this order.
After a great victory, even the commoners would celebrate after a short period of celebration.
Next, the entire West Continent was completely busy.
Countless troops were gathering and moving.
Countless people traveled through the entire West Continent and even the entire Chaotic Continent.
Although the order to purge the feudal lords had not been publicly announced, hundreds of thousands of troops had already entered the Southwest Continent.
They had already started to completely subdue and eliminate the local tyrants of the Southwest Continent.
The location of the Extreme South City had also been selected. Hundreds of thousands of people were continuously being transported there to prepare for the construction of a new city.
As for the four large castles in the Sunset Mountain Range, construction had also started.
Originally, there were hundreds of thousands of people in the Sunset Mountain Range. Now, nearly a million people had entered the Sunset Mountain Range and started to build all kinds of houses and villages in the mountain range.
The hundreds of thousands of troops were carrying out the final clean-up and pacification of the barbarians in the Sunset Mountain Range.
...
After busying about for more than half a month, the messenger from Earth Splitting City finally arrived with a letter written by Kui Ning.
It said that his father, Kui Si, had already returned to Earth Splitting City!
Yang Dingtian's heart trembled. The Lord of Earth Splitting City, Kui Si, had returned?
How did he return?
