Chapter 1576 - 1950: Divine Hall Is Our Godfather

There are ten major clans on Dwarf Star, and in addition there are hundreds and thousands of smaller clans, with a total population of around one billion.

On Dwarf Star, Genetic Evolution occupies the core position in society; it is a typical world where the strong are revered.

Those whose Genetic Evolution Level is high, whose Combat Power is formidable, and whose strength is abundant, rule Dwarf Star.

Dwarf Star implements a clan alliance ruling system; more precisely, the ten major clans of Dwarf Star form a Clan Elder Court, jointly managing all affairs of Dwarf Star.

Above the Clan Elder Court is Thanos Saint.

Beneath Thanos Saint are the Four Great Heavenly Demons, and one of them, Du Tiandemon, is right now on Witch Star, leading the Dwarf Star people in encircling and suppressing the Witch Star people's rebellion.

The other three Great Heavenly Demons are Ying Tianmo, Lei Tianmo, and North Heavenly Demon.

The elder who was speaking with Thanos Saint just now is Ying Tianmo.

Ying Tianmo is at the Peak of Emperor Level Advanced Realm; he has undergone Body Seizing cultivation five times, and his Spiritual Consciousness has existed for at least six hundred years.

Divine Dynasty Continent is the continent where Thanos Saint's clan resides, and it is also the ruling center of all Dwarf Star.

The Divine Hall is where the ruling institution of all Dwarf Star is located.

The city where the Divine Hall is located is called the Divine City.

The Divine City has a population of thirty million; it is not only Dwarf Star's center of Genetic Cultivation, but also its economic, technological, and cultural center.

After leaving the Divine Hall, Thanos Saint went by himself into a tall mountain in the center of Shendu City, known as the Divine Mountain.

The Divine Mountain towers into the clouds; it is the sacred land of the Dwarf Star Continent, and also a forbidden ground—without the Divine Hall's permission, no one may enter the Divine Mountain.

The entire Shendu City was built encircling this Divine Mountain.

During Thanos Saint's secluded cultivation, the Four Great Heavenly Demons become temporary leaders, handling all major and minor affairs of Dwarf Star.

Ying Tianmo said to a guard:

"Go, call General Zhuo over. I have something to discuss with him."

"Yes!"

The guard departed.

A moment later, a burly, powerfully built middle-aged man, two and a half meters tall, walked into Ying Tianmo's room.

"Your subordinate Zhuo Fei pays respects to Lord Ying Tianmo!"

Ying Tianmo nodded slightly and said:

"Go make a trip to the Central Continent and see what exactly is happening over there."

Zhuo Fei was stunned for a moment and asked:

"This subordinate is dull-witted; I beg Lord Ying Tianmo to give me a few pointers."

"I've received intelligence saying that someone named Yang Xiao is rampaging across the Central Continent, successively killing the three great demon City Lords of the Central Continent, defeating numerous City Alliances, unifying the Central Continent, and establishing the Central Continent Empire.

This matter does not align with our Divine Hall's stance. Go see whether the Central Continent Empire really has been established,

and also, investigate Yang Xiao's background."

General Zhuo thought for a moment and said:

"Do you need me to kill Yang Xiao?"

Ying Tianmo shook his head and said coolly:

"Killing a Yang Xiao is no harder than pinching a stink bug to death; we can kill him anytime. For now don't touch him—you just need to investigate what has happened locally. As for what to do specifically, wait for my orders."

"Yes, this subordinate will set out for the Central Continent immediately and will certainly not fail the mission."

General Zhuo finished speaking, bowed, and left Ying Tianmo's room.

...

The news that the Central Continent had been unified and the Central Continent Empire established gradually spread across all of Dwarf Star.

After all, this was a major event.

A Central Continent Empire with a population of fifty million and several hundred Emperor Level Transcendent Experts already has overall strength comparable to the ten major clans of Dwarf Star.

The emergence of such a colossal entity simply cannot be ignored.

Yang Xiao convened a core Imperial members meeting.

Mr. Master, Xing Zhe, Elder Qi and the ten great War Generals, over a hundred quasi–War Generals, and more than two hundred City Lords all gathered in Central Continent Wenti City.

"There is only one topic for today's meeting. The news of our establishment of the Central Continent Empire has already spread throughout Dwarf Star. Based on the feedback I've received, everyone is shocked and astonished by us, and there is also some fear and wariness.

I'll ask everyone one question:

If the Divine Hall's Clan Elder Council decides to send people to wipe us out and force our Central Continent back into its former chaotic state, do we have the ability to resist?"

Everyone's hearts jolted at these words, and they all shook their heads.

Mr. Master said,

"The Divine Hall has no fewer than thirty Emperor Level Advanced Realm Transcendent Experts, not to mention Thanos Saint.

Our Central Continent Empire doesn't even have a single Emperor Level Advanced Realm Evolver; even the Emperor and I are only Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm. We are completely no match for the Divine Hall.

They'd only need to send one Emperor Level Advanced Realm General to sweep through our Central Continent Empire."

Black Wood chimed in:

"Exactly, the Divine Hall is the most terrifying power in all of Dwarf Star. They could casually send a few people and wipe out our Central Continent Empire.

Boss, we absolutely can't go head-on with the Divine Hall!"

Old subordinates like Black Wood, Flying Tiger and the others still liked calling Yang Xiao "Boss"; they always felt that calling him "King" was a bit awkward.

Yang Xiao nodded and said:

"That's right. Although we were able to defeat Ba Tianhu and the others, compared with the Divine Hall, they are giants, and we are just a little insect.

The reason I gathered everyone today is to discuss how to protect our Central Continent Empire, dispel the Divine Hall's concerns, and have the Divine Hall accept us and acknowledge that our Central Continent Empire is also a legitimate clan of Dwarf Star."

Everyone looked at one another; wanting the Divine Hall to recognize the Central Continent Empire and accept the Central Continent Empire sounded extraordinarily difficult.

Xing Zhe glanced at Yang Xiao and said:

"Brother Yang, you must already have an idea. Why not tell us so we can listen?"

Xing Zhe did not belong to the Central Continent Empire's members. Even though Yang Xiao had done his utmost to invite Xing Zhe to join the Central Continent Empire, Xing Zhe said he would help Yang Xiao through this period and then return to Wuji Academy to cultivate, and afterward go back to his own clan.

The two had always addressed each other as brothers.

Flying Tiger said loudly:

"Boss, go ahead and say it. We'll all listen to you."

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

"For Yang Xiao to gain the Divine Hall's approval is actually very simple. One sentence: fully embrace the Divine Hall and throw ourselves into the Divine Hall's arms!"

Everyone was taken aback.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"

"Please explain; we don't get it!"

"Boss, hurry up and say it, you're killing me with suspense."

...

Yang Xiao gave a faint smile and waved his hand; everyone quieted down and looked at Yang Xiao expectantly.

"It's actually very simple—recognize the Divine Hall as our adoptive father!"

"Recognize the Divine Hall as adoptive father?"

Everyone was even more confused.

"Let me explain specifically. From now on, we need to put out a slogan to the outside world, and that is:

The Central Continent Empire fully supports the Divine Hall's rule.

The Central Continent Empire believes the Divine Hall is the only ruling institution of Dwarf Star; we will completely obey every order from the Divine Hall.

Everything we have was given by the Divine Hall, including our lives.

The Divine Hall is our adoptive father.

No—

The Divine Hall is our father!"

"..."

In the hall, hundreds of people stared blankly at Yang Xiao.

Was this still the Yang Xiao they knew?

The Yang Xiao of the past was kind and benevolent, yet when facing the privileged class, he was defiant and unyielding, wildly arrogant.

For the sake of survival, our King really is going all out!
