Lin Ye's actions have led his dynasty's rules to develop in a more aggressive direction.
In contrast to his usual gentle approach, Lin Ye has now collected a larger number of wishes, which contain a slightly higher degree of fear towards him, but the overall quality is significantly better.
The aftershocks of eliminating the evil immortals won't subside so quickly.
Ten days later, Lin Ye's declaration of "reconnecting with Tian Tong" after killing the evil immortal spread, and even in the distant outer seas, cultivators talked about it with great interest.
As expected, this sparked some controversy.
But overall, very few people were swayed by the news that the evil immortal was still alive and that he had been killed. Soon after, the jade slip containing the image of Lin Ye fighting the evil immortal began to sell well in various places.
Some people hold the Demon Emperor's rule in awe, but even the most cynical person acknowledges his greatness.
Oranges grown south of the Huai River are sweet oranges, while those grown north of the Huai River are bitter oranges.
In the hands of a scoundrel like Yuan Ting, the principles of the dynasty are nothing more than a tortoise shell.
Lin Ye is different; his way of influencing the world is more upright and aboveboard, which will inevitably lead to a destructive influence on the dynasty's principles.
Lin Ye's defensive measures were already quite effective; when he came into contact with the power of the Dao, what he needed more was to use it for destruction.
Although it may not be valued in high-level battles, the Dao of the Dynasty is clearly a Dao that has a very strong effect on large-scale killing of groups.
In the Discipline Star, this powerful ability to deal massive damage will be even more pronounced.
In summary, if the benefit of increasing defense is one, the benefit of increasing damage is at least ten!
Long Yin looked at Lin Ye with admiration, feeling that he was still a long way from being able to take over Lin Ye's position.
Long Yin considered declining the position of successor.
Let’s practice more!
In fact, it's not just cultivators from the four continents who are captivated by Lin Ye's power and leadership.
The powerful dynastic laws that followed were proof of power that could be seen at a glance in any world.
Lin Ye's dynastic path is extremely domineering. This fierce and oppressive aura gives cultivators from other worlds ample reason to speculate that Lin Ye is a cruel tyrant.
However, Lin Ye believes this is a good thing.
When you come out to hang out, your identity is given by yourself.
When facing unfamiliar cultivators, giving them a ruthless impression is clearly more beneficial than harmful.
"Times must always move forward, right? We welcome His Majesty the Demon Emperor's policies with open arms. There was no unrest within our clan, and power was smoothly transferred to Huang Zhou. No cultivators were harmed in the process."
But if you all remain stubborn, you should worry about your heads. As for the young people, don't be afraid, children. His Majesty the Demon Emperor will protect you better than your elders and clan elders, as he always has, hasn't he?
"In the Heavenly Realm and the Mortal Realm, General Zuo, the ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator and clan leader of the 'White Tiger King Beast Clan,' a noble clan of Demon Emperor Mountain, said this in a video speech on the Wilderness Curse Forum."
Many high-ranking officials have voiced their support.
Not to mention the lower-level cultivators.
They had long hoped that power would be taken away by the curse!
It's not just because Lin Ye has a good reputation.
He really gets things done!
When many sects relocated to Heaven and Earth, it sparked a wave of tax and rent increases.
Lin Ye immediately issued an edict to prohibit this behavior and put Huang Zhou in charge of supervision. By putting the sect's higher-ups in a difficult position, his reputation immediately improved.
Lin Ye's usual tactics, like those of the Yiling Temple Affairs 9#ba, made them believe that this was the only way to live a good life.
As expected, this was also a good thing. After the power transfer was completed, Lin Ye immediately arranged for Huang Zhou to issue various tax reduction and exemption policies.
There are many sects in the Heavenly Realm, and their exploitation of the lower-level spiritual farmers and laborers is already severe.
Now that taxes have been reduced, everyone has come to a deep understanding of the benefits of following Lin Ye.
During the great crisis, not only did they not use this as an excuse to raise taxes, but they also significantly reduced tax exemptions during this period!
"For His Majesty! You know, I have always been His Majesty's follower!" said the young man who had recently distinguished himself in the arena competition between Heaven and Earth, his blood boiling with excitement.
The transfer of power proceeded smoothly.
With the curse in effect, everything is smooth and effortless.
However, some high-level officials still expressed their opposition.
Some Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't even distinguish between the major and minor kings and openly voiced their opposition.
It's such a pity. If they had cooperated, they would have been highly respected senior cultivators.
The existing benefits will not actually be lost; at most, the ability to continue exploiting lower-level cultivators will be limited.
If they leave on their own as Lin Ye suggested, they can at least save their lives.
However, apart from a very small number of self-proclaimed noble individuals who genuinely valued the return of their sects and had already left on their own, most of the dissenting cultivators were simply seeking more benefits.
Some people wanted to take their families with them, but they all faced strong opposition and lost face.
Those who loudly contradicted the Demon Emperor offended him, and their fate is self-evident. In addition to being publicly tried, their sects were also completely dismantled and reorganized.
The cultivators who were scattered fared quite well, as Lin Ye arranged for them to join other sects and each of them found their own positions. Among them, some of the stronger and more capable ones even became parachuted elders.
......
Imperial meeting.
Today, the ministers are discussing the allocation of duties within the dynasty.
The rules of a dynasty can empower its subordinates.
The higher the official rank and honor, the more powerful the favors received.
Nascent Soul cultivators and above rushed over and gathered in the rest hall next to the main hall to wait for His Majesty to enter the hall.
They couldn't wait to divide the cake!
The lounge is spacious and offers tea and snacks; being able to enter here is an honor in itself.
"What we need is to more clearly distinguish these honors."
Baili Jingchen took a sip of tea and said, "What realm is required to enter the rest hall, and what honors are required to enter if one's realm is insufficient? All of these need to be clearly stated."
Nangong Chongdao: "So you mean, to rank honors?"
Everyone agreed.
Ever since the cultivators witnessed Lin Ye transcend the realm of rules and the Dao of the Dynasty, they had been drooling over it.
However, the situation at the new Demon Emperor Mountain is quite complicated.
There are teams from the Great Wilderness Royal Court and teams from Demon Emperor Mountain.
The numerous sects that fled from Heaven and Earth to avoid the bloodshed also had their own groups, and none of the sects had yet distinguished themselves in terms of superiority or inferiority.
In this situation, only by clearly distinguishing between official positions and honors can they get a share of the pie.
Now that power has returned to His Majesty's hands, all of this can begin to move forward.
General Zuo said, "The power of the imperial palace is now almost entirely in the hands of Huang Zhou."
"Its power is actually an extension of His Majesty's ability. Unfortunately, as a secret technique, the Wild Curse cannot effectively apply the dynastic principles to distribute gifts among the officials."
"I think we should allow Huang Zhou to separate some official positions in some form, while Huang Zhou continues to play a supervisory and assessment role. Of course, this depends on His Majesty's decision."
“Not bad.” The two Grand Elders of Demon Emperor Mountain both agreed.
The Curse of Desolation occupies far too many official positions.
If the officials wanted to get more power, they could only squeeze a little out of Huang Zhou.
General Zuo is Lin Ye's confidant, and there must be a reason why he dares to say such a thing today, which is a positive factor for the cultivators.
This will also reduce the burden on the operation of the Wild Curse!
Huang Zhou now simultaneously holds management responsibilities and undertakes heavy research duties. He even occasionally uses his great magical power to complete front-end tasks such as setting up formations.
Whether or not the burden on the desolate curse should be reduced depends entirely on His Majesty's decision, and the officials are both nervous and expectant.
In addition, there was something else that everyone kept to themselves.
Surely the relationship between His Majesty the Demon Emperor and His Majesty the Lord of the Great Wilderness cannot remain unchanged forever?
They themselves probably felt very happy.
But in the eyes of the court officials, it was truly unbelievable.
There has never been a public statement as to who owns the palace, perhaps because the two are too close to bother with such matters.
Therefore, it seems that there are still many areas where Lin Ye's forces need to be addressed and strengthened.
The Wild Curse is incredibly useful; it can transform into any shape to block any hole, but that doesn't mean the hole no longer exists.
If these reforms can be successfully implemented, they will contribute to the establishment of Lin Ye's dynasty.
"The emperor has arrived!"
......
Lin Ye and the Lord of the Great Wilderness, master and disciple, walked over chatting casually.
The Lord of the Great Wilderness said, "Should we also disperse all the remaining sects?"
Lin Ye shook his head: "Those who dared to disagree before were all major players. Now I've broken them up, that's enough."
"Compared to the major sect cultivators, the remaining minor sect cultivators take even more pride in being palace cultivators, and are even more loyal than the mid-to-high-level cultivators who come to join them as individuals."
“Continuing to make a big fuss will scare them. Deal with anyone who causes problems individually, and leave the rest of the minor clans around.”
The Lord of the Great Wilderness said, "That's good."
The master and disciple arrived at the main hall and sat together on a dragon throne. The Great Wilderness Lord, who had returned to his small size, sat obediently in Lin Ye's arms. The assembled officials bowed and paid their respects to them in unison.
The Lord of the Great Wilderness said, "I will transfer the ownership and operational authority of the Wilderness Curse to the Demon Emperor."
Upon hearing this, the cultivators each had their own thoughts.
It's one thing to have ownership, but to even entrust the operation of the Desolate Curse to the Demon Emperor? Does His Majesty the Demon Emperor, who is only at the Nascent Soul stage, already have such a powerful flow of spiritual energy?
The [Power of Stars] I recently obtained from Long Yin is now proving useful.
The power of the world drawn from beyond the boundary can be used to activate the Wild Curse.
Lin Ye and the Lord of the Great Wilderness have discussed this. Simply having the right to possess the power is not enough. Lin Ye must be responsible for supplying the power for the Wilderness Curse to fully become an aid to his dynasty's laws.
We need to lighten the burden on the Wild Curse a bit.
Lin Ye is not a peak Mahayana cultivator like the Lord of the Great Wilderness, so he has to use the power of the world sparingly. However, all he needs to do is reduce the parts of Huang Zhou's hands-on approach.
With the expansion of manpower in the palace, it made little difference to have the cultivators supervised by the Wild Curse to do the work.
Lin Ye gave some opening remarks, and then got to the point: "Next, I will use the laws of the dynasty to bring the seasons, weather, rainfall and so on of the mortal world back to the control of the court, so as to bring about favorable weather and benefit the people."
"This will create a large number of minor officials for the court who will be in charge of managing wind, rain, mountains, rivers and streams, and their performance evaluation will be handled by Huang Zhou."
"Anyone found to be irresponsible will be immediately reassigned and held accountable; those who violate the law will be executed."
The power of faith may not be something everyone can use.
But if Lin Ye does this and becomes his official, he will be able to collect and utilize the power of faith.
The positions he arranged were all convenient for collecting faith power, which could help cultivators of average talent advance their cultivation and were definitely good ways to make a living.
Moreover, artificial control of celestial phenomena can better promote agricultural production.
This was a task that was once assigned to the dragons, but now Lin Ye has taken it and distributed it.
Upon hearing this, the cultivators felt it was a good policy, but since the lowest level present was Nascent Soul, they all thought it had nothing to do with each other.
But Lin Ye's next words were fatal: "Furthermore, the flow and management of the spiritual veins will be completely taken back into the hands of the imperial court."
"In this way, as the lord of a river and a land, it will be of great benefit to the cultivation of cultivators like you."
"However, once you become my official, you must be careful. If the authorities discover any violations of the law, you will be punished in the same way as I, the minor official I just mentioned."
"Does anyone have any objections or additions?" Lin Ye asked.
General Zuo clasped his hands and said, "We can combine military achievements, honors, and official positions to form an evaluation system, divided into 200 levels, to accurately measure people's contributions and affect their treatment."
King Jinpeng shook his head: "200 layers is too many. Your Majesty will take us to the Upper Realm in the future. Dividing the official ranks into 100 layers is enough for now."
The abilities of cultivators at different levels vary greatly, so dividing them into 100 ranks is not a lot.
