Chapter 1580 - 1554: Who Cares About Heritage, Submission Is All That Matters

Orphan, this was the best explanation that Yang Xiao, Elder Qi, Fan Chen, and Wanyan Bai came up with after discussing.

Yang Xiao's identity and family background remain a mystery to this day.

Of course, in the Central Continent, no one cares about this issue. Everyone is either an exiled criminal or a descendant of criminals, so people don't inquire about each other's ancestral homes or family backgrounds.

However, now that Yang Xiao has become the King of the Central Continent Empire, his prominence is bound to incite guesses and inquiries about his family background and tribe.

After much consideration, using the excuse of being an orphan seemed the best option.

Since he is an orphan, it implies he has no parents, no relatives, and there's naturally no way to trace his family background.

Such people are abundant in the Central Continent.

Indeed, many orphans exist in the Central Continent because their parents and relatives perished there, leaving them without other kin to turn to, thus becoming street orphans.

Yang Xiao even issued a special order for each city to establish an orphanage to shelter homeless children.

When Yang Xiao claimed he was an orphan, even General Zhuo Fei from the Divine Hall couldn't verify it and could only nod, offering comfort:

"Yang Xiao, though you are an orphan, the Divine Hall will not abandon you. You and I are both citizens of the Divine Hall, both children of the Thanos Saint."

"Yes, you're right, I've always thought so, General Zhuo,"

Yang Xiao said with moist eyes, grasping General Zhuo's hand, choking with emotion:

"General Zhuo, your arrival today has finally made me feel like I've found my home. I am so excited, sob..."

"Alright, alright, I understand your feelings. The Central Continent was once a land of abandonment and exile, but now, it is a continent of hope and happiness. Do your best, I believe in you."

General Zhuo comforted.

General Zhuo had been secretly inspecting the Central Continent for more than ten days, witnessing scenes of peace and prosperity everywhere. In truth, he truly admired Yang Xiao's governance capabilities.

Moreover, Yang Xiao's policy of endorsing the Divine Hall and supporting the cause of the Thanos Saint across the cities won General Zhuo Fei's admiration even more.

On the Dwarf Star, any force or organization, apart from endorsing the Divine Hall, has no other way out!

Seeing Yang Xiao reveal genuine emotions, choking back tears, Mr. Master, Xing Zhe, Elder Qi, and others were all bewildered.

They even began to wonder if Yang Xiao was truly moved by finding a sense of belonging?

What defines a sense of belonging?

Previously, the Central Continent was not recognized or accepted by the ruling classes, an abandoned child, but now, General Zhuo Fei's visit signifies the Divine Hall's attention to the Central State Empire.

Furthermore, Yang Xiao has performed excellently, and after General Zhuo Fei returns to the Divine Hall, there's a great possibility he will persuade the Divine Hall to accept the Central State Empire as a new organizational force.

General Zhuo Fei stayed in Central Continent Wentian City for three days, with Yang Xiao accompanying him throughout, very humble, yet without any servile or ingratiating behavior.

Everywhere, Yang Xiao demonstrated his wholehearted patriotism and support for the Divine Hall, which even an experienced Jianghu veteran like General Zhuo couldn't question.

Yang Xiao privately handed over two billion Crystal Disks to General Zhuo, who declined, saying:

"Yang Xiao, what are you doing? Are you trying to bribe me?"

"General Zhuo misunderstood, this is not my intention; this is the will of fifty million people of the Central State Empire. Everyone says that General Zhuo has travelled on the Central Continent, enduring hardships, so as hosts, despite our poverty, we must show some token of appreciation,

otherwise, wouldn't we seem uninformed?

Besides, the fifty million folks of the Central Continent have something to request from General Zhuo,"

"Oh, what is it? Let's hear it, as long as I, Zhuo Fei, can do it, I will definitely advocate for the fifty million people of the Central Continent!"

"General Zhuo, you know, the Central Continent was once a land of exile and abandonment, and the people here were not acknowledged by the Divine Hall,

Everyone wants you to go back to the Divine Hall and say something on our behalf. We've all become good people, law-abiding, and don't kill the innocent indiscriminately. Everyone is eager to live and work in peace and contentment,

We hope, under the leadership of the Divine Hall, to become one of the many citizens of the Divine Hall, fulfilling our duties."

Zhuo Fei listened and nodded, slightly moved, saying:

"This request is not excessive, it's justified!

In the past, I won't mention it, but now under your leadership, a unified Central State Empire has been established, where people live in peace and happiness. It indeed should be reconsidered to join the ranks of the Divine Hall's citizens,

Rest assured, after I return to the Divine Hall, I will certainly plead with the tribe's Elder Court and the Thanos Saint to have the Divine Hall admit the Central State Empire into our family."

"Then many thanks to General Zhuo!"

Yang Xiao got up and bowed,

"Therefore, please accept these two billion Crystal Disks, just as a token for your activities after your return. If not enough, please let me know, and I'll promptly gather the rest for you."

Zhuo Fei, hearing this, nodded, and said:

"Very well, the Divine Hall has some old conservatives with stubborn thoughts. To have them agree to admit the Central State Empire will undoubtedly require some persuasion and some benefits."

"Then many thanks to General Zhuo!"

Yang Xiao bribed General Zhuo and also privately gave two of his followers twenty million Crystal Disks each. The two followers accepted the bribes, had an excellent impression of Yang Xiao, and naturally spoke well of him in front of General Zhuo.

Three days later, General Zhuo left Central Continent Wentian City and returned to the Divine Hall, reporting to the Eagle Heavenly King about his observations on the Central Continent.

"Eagle Heavenly King, subordinates believe that after Yang Xiao unified the Central Continent, it has become significantly changed. The Central State Empire has fifty million people, over two hundred Emperor Level Transcendent Experts; this is indeed a force that cannot be ignored.

Yang Xiao's propagation of loyalty to the Divine Hall within the empire, regardless of his sincerity, even if it's just a show, I personally find it commendable, worthy of praise.

Moreover, Yang Xiao is young and talented, his Genetic Evolution Talent surpasses ordinary people, breaking through the Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm before the age of thirty. Such a genius, how many can be found throughout the Dwarf Star?"

The Eagle Heavenly King looked at Zhuo Fei,

"So, what do you suggest?"

"The subordinates believe that before Lei Tianmo and North Heavenly Demon take Yang Xiao seriously, we should act first, incorporating Yang Xiao and his Central Province Empire into the tribe's Elder Council,

Thus, Yang Xiao would certainly be grateful to you, obeying you, wouldn't you have another powerful ally in the Central State Empire?

Compared to the top ten tribes, the overall strength of the Central State Empire is not lacking at all!"

"Has Yang Xiao's tribal background been verified?"

"No, no one knows Yang Xiao's background. He claims to be an orphan,"

"An orphan?"

The Eagle Heavenly Demon was stunned for a moment.

General Zhuo then said:

"In my humble opinion, regardless of his tribal background, as long as he can submit to you, that should be enough. I can see, Yang Xiao is very eager to gain recognition from the Divine Hall."

"Hmm, you have a point. If that's the case, then I'll propose convening a tribal Elder Council meeting to discuss the admission of the Central State Empire."
