Right now, outside the Sun, Fang Xingjian finally attained a qualitative breakthrough in the Instant Sword after staying in seclusion for a month to temper his sword arts. His grasp of space-time reached a greater height as well.
This was not all. Due to the Instant Sword’s qualitative change, the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation that had the Celestial Eradication Sword Technique as its foundation also attained a breakthrough and reached a greater height.
After managing to achieve a breakthrough in his sword arts, Fang Xingjian’s next goal was Ulpian, who was on Earth. As long as he could defeat this person, both the Immortality Saint and himself would be able to really clear the trial and return to Miracle World. They would be able to really become tier six Divine level experts, becoming extraordinary existences that were top-notch powers in the world.
Thinking of this, Fang Xingjian turned to look in Earth’s direction. Then at the next moment, he disappeared with a flash.
...
On Earth where one month had passed by, the human society had gone through an overwhelming transformation.
The remaining Commanders and warriors of the 13 armies on Earth each possessed all sorts of mysterious abilities and could materialize things with their rings’ energies. Other than battle prowess, they also represented extraordinary production prowess.
In the past, the armies’ warriors had a high status. Even a country’s president, who stood at the very top of a country, could not command them as he wished.
However, Ulpian was using his superb powers to reign over the world, suppressing the mortals. No person nor faction in the entire world would dare go against him. Even the Commanders and the armies’ warriors were the same.
Relying on their production forces, the side effects of the continental shifts were resolved rapidly. All sorts of damaged roads and tall buildings were fixed one after another.
The damages caused by the change in the topography and the weather had also been removed.
After all, each of these Commanders were extraordinary existences that could topple mountains, overturn seas, and upheave the world. If they were to use their powers to fix buildings and roads, they would do it at an unrivaled speed.
Moreover, there was still the Heavenly River Virtual Image of which Ulpian had taken the form. It was still encompassing the planet constantly.
Ever since he brought out his Heavenly River Virtual Image, Ulpian had remained in that state, covering the sky and circulating overhead around Earth.
Ulpian seemed to have become a law in the natural world, a phenomenon. Although he remained high up in the sky, he was still circulating around humans’ lives.
He could also control the circulation of the atmosphere, change the temperatures, and alter magnetic fields. This allowed mankind to be subjected to a constant temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with good weather and what seemed to be the season of spring all year round. There was also no rain at all, except on the cultivation fields which needed to be watered.
Ulpian would also cleanse the air, control the ocean currents, and fix all the problems of environmental pollution. Animals and plants no longer needed to worry about the deterioration of the environment, and even mankind did not have to worry about air pollution, marine pollution, and other problems. The average health standards of humans kept on increasing.
Crimes were not an issue either. At the moment the heavenly river was put up above everyone, the regulations that Ulpian had set were already announced in everyone’s laptops, cell phones, and other devices.
All criminal acts would be condemned with the death penalty. The human world welcomed an unprecedented set of brutal laws. Within a short period of time, the world became a reign of terror with blood flowing like streams.
No ruler in the course of history would do something like this. It was because once they implemented such strict laws, it would inevitably incite backlash from all of society.
Was there anyone who had made no mistakes at all? Who did not have one or two friends, relatives, or blood kin who had committed mistakes before?
This was especially so amongst those in the upper society,—the people who had great wealth and could have everything they wanted. How could these people possibly be willing to die for a commoner? Let alone if it was just for some minor mistakes...
Once the members of the upper echelon objected to this, the people would be infuriated and the rule would be destroyed.
However, Ulpian did not have to worry about these as his rule did not come from any aristocrat, military force, or popular sentiment.
Moreover, he alone could kill all the aristocrats, military forces, and people.
He did not need to rope in anyone to his side by offering them benefits. Nor did he have to get into the good books of any aristocrats, military forces, or the people. Ulpian alone had the world’s strongest power. Without the reliance of any external objects, he alone could supply the entire human society’s energy usage.
Therefore, no one in the world could stop him from doing what he wanted to do.
He might not be able to constantly monitor the crimes of several billion people across the planet. However, even if he merely monitored several hundred thousand or millions of people and then rotated between groups of people, it would be sufficient to instill fear into all criminals.
Those who violated females were to be killed.
Those who plundered the possessions of others were to be killed.
Those who took the lives of others were to be killed.
Those who embezzled public properties were to be killed.
In the first few days after the law was announced, the heavenly river in the atmosphere seethed intensely, plunging down numerous times and taking away the lives of many people.
This immediately incited backlash from countless people. There were objections from people who had been convicted with death penalties, as well as from people who felt their crimes were not that drastic for them to be served with the death sentence. Additionally, there were still various issues including whether one should be declared guilty, how the conviction would be done, how people would be arrested. All these issues caused a huge upheaval across the land.
Concurrently, Ulpian’s plan of creating a United Government was also in the midst of preparation. It was a massive government that had the 13 armies as the foundation and several tens of General-level characters serving as assistance. Numerous elites, including political figures from the 100 or more countries in the past, scientists, scholars, and militants, were also gathered.
If one wished to set up a United Government, there would tend to be various integration issues amongst the various political bodies and military groups such as finances and languages. These problems would be enough to cause the leaders of the various countries to negotiate for over a few decades.
However, with Ulpian applying pressure on them, all sorts of problems were resolved easily and the efficiency improved by several hundred or even thousands of times.
Standardizing writings, culture, law and regulations, politics... Even if numerous people were to object and even if there were all sorts of demonstrations, hunger strikes, suicidal acts, no one would be able to change Ulpian’s will and actions.
One month passed by, and the number of people who opposed Ulpian’s will and actions continued to remain high. It was because as long as they did not violate the rules that Ulpian set, they would not be arrested no matter how much they cursed him. Therefore, there were naturally many people who were against the policies he implemented.
However, Ulpian would use violence to suppress all demonstrations and actions that caused destruction.
Right now, on the surface at least, there were no organizations or individuals who would dare to openly risk their lives and use violent measures to object to the unification. Still, no one knew how many groups or individuals were secretly objecting to it.
Many people with great ambition—including the seven armies’ Commanders—understood that there was probably no one in the world who could stop Ulpian. Those who had plans to resist were just overestimating their abilities and attempting to do something impossible.
At the current moment, in the New Earth’s Federation Central City that was located at the center of the land...
This city, formed from Ulpian shifting 12 great cities from the previous Earth, was like a leviathan. Over 70 million people were in this city. Over 70% of the elites in the world, countless wealthy people, and the armies’ warriors—including the seven Commanders—were gathered within it.
