Chapter 1579 - 1953: Yang Xiao, Which Tribe Are You From?

General Zhuo looked at Yang Xiao, his expression suddenly changed, and he coldly shouted:

"Yang Xiao, you have some nerve, daring to unify the Central Continent and proclaim yourself king here,

have you obtained the Divine Hall's permission?"

In the Central Continent, the Divine Hall is the only authority above all factions, managing the affairs of the entire Dwarf Star.

The Divine Hall typically does not interfere in internal matters of the factions.

If it's merely a small-scale war between factions, the Divine Hall also doesn't bother to interfere.

The Divine Hall only acts on matters that affect the entire balance of power on Dwarf Star and exercises its adjudicating power.

Previously, Yang Xiao established the City of Hope, annexing several nearby cities, which didn't affect the situation on Dwarf Star.

Even when he defeated Ba Tianhu and annexed the Twenty-Six City Alliance, it only caused some disruption within the Central Continent but still did not affect the power structure of Dwarf Star.

But now things are different, Yang Xiao has unified the entire Central Continent, forming a powerful organized force, which can even rival the ten major factions.

At this point, the Divine Hall must intervene.

The Divine Hall sent General Zhuo to investigate this matter, naturally, they have some ideas.

They want to understand, what is Yang Xiao's purpose in establishing the Central Continent Empire? What will he do?

If Yang Xiao intends to use the overall strength of the Central State Empire to challenge the authority of the Divine Hall, then, sorry, the Divine Hall must destroy Yang Xiao's Central State Empire and let the Central Continent return to its previous state of chaos and strife.

Yang Xiao had long anticipated that the Divine Hall would send someone to investigate the Central Continent Empire, so he ordered all the cities to create an atmosphere of respect, support, and allegiance to the Divine Hall.

No matter how ruthless and domineering the Divine Hall may be, surely it wouldn't attack a nation that supports it and worships it, right?

No one hits a smiling face, let alone when I worship you so much, even taking the Thanos Saint as my own godfather!

General Zhuo, upon seeing Yang Xiao, unexpectedly posed such a serious question, naturally wanted to give Yang Xiao a warning, while also testing Yang Xiao's reaction.

Upon hearing General Zhuo's reprimand, Yang Xiao immediately responded:

"General Zhuo, unifying the Central Continent was not my intention, rather, I did it out of necessity for the Divine Hall."

"Haha, that's quite a novel excuse, I want to hear your reasoning."

"Yes, reporting to General Zhuo, the Central Continent has always been the Abandoned Continent of Dwarf Star, a land of sin, where most people are criminals from various factions or their descendants,

for thousands of years, due to this reason, the Central Continent developed a violent societal atmosphere, rife with deceit, mutual suspicion, and killings,

what's more, they blame the harsh living conditions on the Divine Hall's punishment and abandonment,

one thing they often say is:

The Divine Hall has abandoned us, they are not worthy of our respect,

General Zhuo, it makes me very angry to hear this, how can anyone hate the Divine Hall and the Thanos Saint old man?

So, I investigated and eventually found that the problem lay with the City Lords led by Ba Tianhu, Guo Jianglong, and the pangolin,

these City Lords were ruthless in extorting from citizens and subordinates, enforced brutal taxes, killed innocents, and incited public resentment long ago, but people feared Ba Tianhu and others' brutality and dared not resist head-on,

so, they blamed all their grievances on the Divine Hall and the Thanos Saint old man."

Saying this, Yang Xiao paused for a moment.

Yang Xiao had been observing General Zhuo's expression, sensing that the General was very concerned and angry about what Yang Xiao mentioned.

Sure enough, General Zhuo loudly rebuked:

"Foolish, how can anyone blame the Divine Hall and the Thanos Saint old man?"

Yang Xiao immediately responded:

"Exactly, I share the same thoughts as General Zhuo, I am furious, I have always admired the Divine Hall and the Thanos Saint old man, can't stand hearing others speak ill of the Divine Hall, so, in a fit of rage, I executed several City Lords, finally killing Ba Tianhu, Guo Jianglong, and the pangolin,

I then explained to everyone that it was the wrongdoing of Ba Tianhu and the like, not to blame the Divine Hall, much less the Thanos Saint old man,

after establishing the Central Continent Empire, I specifically formed a thought propaganda group to strongly promote the various virtues of the Divine Hall and the Thanos Saint old man in every city,

through my series of teachings, the citizens of the Central Continent Empire now deeply realize their previous mistakes, have resolutely reformed, and unanimously support the Divine Hall, respecting the Thanos Saint old man,

we believe, under the wise leadership of the Divine Hall, the residents of the Central Continent will live better and happier lives!"

After finishing, Yang Xiao looked at General Zhuo with some excitement.

Do you find my display satisfactory?

Yang Xiao's companions, Mr. Master, Xing Zhe, Elder Qi, and Black Wood, knelt behind him, listening to Yang Xiao's justifications, all of them bewildered as they bowed their heads and looked at Yang Xiao's back, internally murmuring:

"Wow, Yang Xiao, you really can spin lies as convincingly as the truth!"

"I never noticed before, the boss is this kind of person!"

"Boss, this impressive maneuver, I give you full marks!"

"Brilliant, the boss is truly brilliant, why can't I say such pleasant things?"

"So this is the kind of boss you are, telling bold-faced lies, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

...

Yang Xiao's words made General Zhuo feel extremely comfortable, like the warm sunlight of spring spilling over him, soothing and pleasant!

"Yang Xiao, is this truly what you think?"

Yang Xiao immediately raised his hand and swore:

"With heaven and earth as my witness, if I, Yang Xiao, am lying, may the Central Continent Empire dissolve tomorrow!"

Tomorrow, it's always tomorrow, besides, if the Central Continent Empire dissolves, Yang Xiao wouldn't mind anyway!

"General Zhuo, I, Yang Xiao, can hand over the Central Continent Empire to you, to the Divine Hall for management at any time, without any jest!"

General Zhuo nodded, his expression softened significantly, and he said blandly:

"Nonsense, does the Divine Hall care to take over your country?

All of you, rise!"

"Yes, thank you, General Zhuo!"

Yang Xiao and others stood up.

"General Zhuo, please come to the main hall for a cup of tea!"

"Mm!"

Not being pretentious, General Zhuo walked directly along the great road of the Royal Palace towards the main hall.

Yang Xiao followed by his side.

As he walked forward, General Zhuo, with a seemingly nonchalant attitude, casually asked:

"Yang Xiao, which faction do you belong to?"

"Reporting to the General, I am an orphan!"

"Oh?"

General Zhuo stopped and glanced back at Yang Xiao.

"Since I can remember, I've wandered between the cities of the Central Continent, later, someone from the Divine Hall passed by the Central Continent, took me in, and taught me the cultivation method for Genetic Evolution, which made me who I am today,

therefore, I've always considered myself a son of the Divine Hall!"
