Chapter 1566 - 1541: Central Continent Empire

Sky Tiger City was brightly decorated and bustling with joy, creating a lively atmosphere.

Tomorrow is the national founding celebration, with City Lords from more than sixty cities and important core members gathered in Sky Tiger City to discuss national founding plans.

Yang Xiao once again convened a meeting attended by all the City Lords and dozens of core members, totaling over a hundred people.

Yang Xiao sat at the head position and said:

"Today, we need to finalize several matters, the first being the country's name.

In the past few days, everyone was asked for suggestions to name the newly established country. Please share your thoughts for us to collectively consider."

Ao Litai said:

"Boss, this is Sky Tiger City, how about calling it Sky Tiger Country? It's mighty, powerful, and sounds good!"

Flying Tiger said:

"That's not appropriate. The name Sky Tiger City was originally given by Ba Tianhu, but Ba Tianhu is dead, so using Sky Tiger Country is inappropriate."

Black Wood said:

"Why not name it after the boss? The boss's surname is Yang, so how about Yang Empire? It's straightforward and instantly reveals who's the boss of our country."

Everyone laughed.

Yang Xiao laughed along.

Black Wood said:

"Don't just laugh, you all share your thoughts too. I'm just a straightforward person, that's what I think."

"Boss once established the City of Hope, how about Hope Empire?"

"That's too elegant, lacks power, not good."

...

Everyone suggested dozens of names, each with supporters and opponents.

Mr. Master Xiao Qingliu smiled slightly and said to Yang Xiao:

"Yang Xiao, surely you've thought about it too? Why not share it for us all to hear?"

"Right, right, boss, share a name you've thought of too."

Yang Xiao nodded and said:

"I indeed have thought about it, I've thought of a name, let's discuss it,

Central Continent Empire!"

"Central Continent Empire?"

Everyone was stunned.

Flying Tiger slapped the table and shouted loudly:

"Good, Central Continent Empire, a great name, powerful, mighty, awesome!"

Everyone nodded,

"It is indeed a great name."

Ma Kui said:

"The Central Continent has over two hundred cities, we only occupy over sixty cities now, and there are also two other rulers, Guo Jianglong and Ba Tianhu. Naming it Central Continent Empire, might they have objections?"

Suonan laughed and said:

"What objections could they have? If they have objections, let them come and fight us; just an opportunity to unify the entire Central Continent."

"I think it's great too."

...

Mr. Master Xiao Qingliu smiled and said:

"Central Continent Empire is excellent, we must tell everyone that our goal is to rule the entire Central Continent. Whether the cities not yet unified by us agree, they ultimately cannot escape unification; this is the trend of the times and the tide of history,

right, boss?"

Xiao Qingliu never called Yang Xiao boss before, but this time, in front of everyone, used the affectionate term with three parts teasingly. Everyone smiled knowingly, and they looked ambiguously at the two.

Xiao Qingliu's face suddenly flushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Yang Xiao glanced at Xiao Qingliu beside him, smiled, and said:

"You really understand me."

Xiao Qingliu pursed her lips and smiled charmingly, making everyone entranced.

Yang Xiao said loudly:

"To establish the Central Continent Empire, to rule the entire Central Continent, to create an equal, harmonious, and prosperous empire, allowing all citizens to enjoy a beautiful life without war and bloodshed, racial conflicts, or separation from loved ones,

allowing children to attend school, the elderly to enjoy their twilight years peacefully, and adults to work to support their families,

This is my dream, the purpose for establishing the Central Continent Empire, and my promise to you!

You chose to follow me, and I promise you a beautiful and peaceful empire, protecting your wives, children, parents, and clansmen, ensuring that they never suffer again!"

Yang Xiao's words profoundly moved everyone.

The entire room was silent, as each person gazed at Yang Xiao dumbfounded.

Yang Xiao's heartfelt confession touched everyone's heart; his goal for establishing the empire wasn't for personal conquest nor for collecting wealth or resources; he was doing it for the happiness of all ordinary citizens.

Compared to the past rulers Ba Tianhu, Guo Jianglong, and the pangolin of Magic City, Yang Xiao was indeed the most benevolent ruler of this era.

Even Mr. Master Xiao Qingliu, sitting beside Yang Xiao, was deeply moved, gazing intensely at Yang Xiao.

Xing Zhe was also moved by Yang Xiao, finding him continuously more mysterious and grand than he had ever known.

"Bravo!"

Elder Qi led the cheer, and everyone echoed loudly with enthusiastic applause.

Yang Xiao smiled and nodded to everyone, even he was moved by his own words just now.

He hadn't expected himself to say such heartfelt words.

Yang Xiao gestured for the crowd to quiet down, and the hall immediately fell silent.

"If everyone doesn't have any objections, our country will be named Central Continent Empire."

"No objections."

Everyone said in unison.

"Good, now let's discuss the next matter. I will serve as the King of the Central Continent Empire, does anyone have any objections?"

Everyone hesitated, then laughed:

"No objections!"

Xing Zhe looked at Yang Xiao, laughing so much his belly ached; this guy was too funny.

Yang Xiao couldn't help but laugh too.

The position of King naturally was not to be refused.

"Good, I propose that Mr. Master be appointed Vice King of the Central Continent Empire."

Everyone was again taken aback,

"Vice King?"

Such a position has never been appointed.

Mr. Master Xiao Qingliu himself was surprised, gazing at Yang Xiao in astonishment.

"Me?"

Yang Xiao nodded,

"You were once the Mr. Master of the Dark Web, and you're at an Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm in cultivation, fully qualifying you as the Vice King. When I'm not around, you will manage the country for me."

"Me?"

"Don't decline. Do I have time to manage the country all day long?"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat; it seemed Yang Xiao wasn't establishing an empire just to become King; was he planning to wander the world after establishing the country?

It's the first time seeing someone assume a kingship without craving power or wealth.

"The empire will appoint ten War Generals; my proposal is Elder Qi, Black Wood, Flying Tiger, Ao Litai..."

Yang Xiao announced the names of the ten War Generals, besides Elder Qi, Black Wood, and Flying Tiger, the other seven were from Ba Tianhu and the alliance of twenty-six cities, thereby drawing some people closer.

"In addition to the ten War Generals, everyone at an Emperor Level Realm and above will be designated as Provisional War Generals, and those with future merits can be promoted to War Generals,

City Lord positions will remain unchanged, held by current City Lords,"

"We'll establish a unified military, with all city armies centralized under the King's control, stationed at several military bases, allowing each city to set up a two-thousand-man guard security team under City Lord management,"

...

Yang Xiao proposed many items, including establishing the empire's Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Logistics, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Construction, and more.

"Tomorrow is the day our Central Continent Empire is established; let us work together to build our own homeland well."
