What Li Guang said was not without reason, but the City God of this prefecture is still a meritorious official. Regardless of his motives, he had previously helped the human world.

Therefore, Song Wuji directly inquired with Tian Chenghuang about the proclamation.

Tian Chenghuang sighed, “I have thought about it over and over again and I feel that ordinary righteousness is hard to encompass. The more I write, the more sorrowful and angry I become. I can only recall the way the people were tortured and killed back then. Although I am now a ghost and god and rarely shed tears, I cannot help but shed tears every time I write a few words.”

"My writing is always wet with tears; the more I write, the more each word seems to bleed."

Song Wuji remained silent, never expecting that Tian Chenghuang hadn't finished writing the proclamation because of this.

He then personally took up the pen, having Tian Chenghuang read it aloud while he wrote it down.

It was first written on paper, and then on cloth.

The more I write, the more silent I become.

I couldn't help but recall Yue Pengju's poem "Man Jiang Hong".

"With lofty ambitions, we'll feast on the flesh of the barbarians when we're hungry, and laughingly drink their blood when we're thirsty. We'll wait to start anew and reclaim our lost lands."

The same thing is happening now, except that the Hu people and Xiongnu have all turned into demons and monsters!
The manifesto was then uploaded to the Tianludiwang website and widely disseminated.

He then sent Li Guang to Hongzhou City to deliver the proclamation, to discuss the alliance, to plan the transfer of power, and to observe the defenses.

Li Guang was a complete "newcomer," and compared to Chen Xiu, Lü Han, or others, he was less likely to arouse suspicion or backlash.

"As the saying goes, it is easy to find an army, but difficult to find a good commander. I am also aware of my own limitations and cannot know much about military affairs. Therefore, I need General Li to go there in person."

“Master Bao, you are the one in charge, go in my place.”

Master Bao's arm has grown back. It can only be said that Master Xu Jia is still amazing. The Supreme Pure Life Pool directly regenerated the severed arm.

As one of the first batch of cooks to serve Song Wuji, Master Bao later gained talent and received several torches and fire offerings from Song Wuji. He specializes in the art of butchering, focusing on slaughtering and knife skills. In terms of butchering techniques, he has already reached the top level of the eighth rank. However, because Song Wuji is still only at the seventh rank, he cannot break through to the same level as Song Wuji.

In addition, as the head of the kitchen office, he was also in charge of logistics.

Song Wuji's task for him was to discuss with the prefect of Hongzhou the secret realm that could produce a continuous supply of grain, as well as the matter of building a Kitchen God Temple of the level of the Seven Officials Temple in Hongzhou City.

The Kitchen God Temple is actually the Kitchen God's Dining Hall, focusing on matters related to the kitchen stove. It is also responsible for passing on the fire and gathering fuel, spreading the Kitchen God's rituals, and encouraging more families to bring Song Wuji's kitchen fire home, recite the Kitchen God's Precious Proclamation, and ignite the kitchen fire within their own bodies.

This is the ritual presiding officer for Song Wuji [the master of the house].

Of course, the belief in the Kitchen God would also usurp the belief in the City God.

Li Guang nodded: "I will certainly not fail in my mission."

Song Wuji then gave him two tiger tallies: "One of these can hide 50 soldiers, and two can hide 100 soldiers. You are a seventh-rank expert and have the dual-ritual system. If the City God of the Prefecture really makes any moves, then take decisive action and suppress him with force."

"In addition, I will have Chen Xiu station troops outside the city to await your safe return, and it would be best to reach a peace agreement."

Although Song Wuji had already considered the situation and knew that both the prefect and the general intended to shirk responsibility, he needed to find a suitable person to entrust the matter to for the greater good.

However, when establishing a national system and casting the Hongzhou Cauldron, there will be a calamity caused by collusion between internal and external forces.

The initial suspicion is that it is the City God, but if we directly deal with the City God, will things change when the real calamity comes?

Therefore, Song Wuji did not choose to resolve the issue prematurely, which is precisely the way of cause and effect, keeping cause and effect within a controllable range.

"Good!" Immediately, the two, along with some other literati envoys, were dispatched into Hongzhou City.

Meanwhile, Song Wuji awaited news from Li Guang. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, he would transform into a true dragon, fly into Hongzhou Prefecture, suppress the disturbance, and rescue the people.

The reason for this peaceful handover was that Song Wuji did not want the human race to fight each other anymore. Another bloody battle would kill many more people, and not just in battle against demons.

It would be best to have the "aura of a king" to attract heroes to join, and Hongzhou City is the first and crucial step in this process.

With Hongzhou City as an example, it will be easier to subdue and reorganize other surviving human cities later on.

Humanity will become a more unified whole, preserving more strength and having more talents available for its own use.

Most importantly, they inherited the "legitimate succession of the previous dynasty." Although the previous dynasty had not collapsed before the chaos caused by demons, it had already become a mere shell of its former self.

In order for Song Wuji to consolidate the human realm, he needs to inherit the legal system from the previous dynasty.

We must inherit their talents and their people.

The land doesn't need to be inherited, since it was all won by killing demons.

Just as Song Wuji was waiting for news, news came from Lin Fajing that the copper from Yangshan in the Tiger Fang Secret Realm was confirmed to be from Shouyang Mountain, and the Bagua Furnace was also confirmed to be left by Laozi. Although it was not the original Bagua Furnace, it could be used to cast the Hongzhou Cauldron in one go when combined with the Bagua Yangsui Formation.

Therefore, they needed artisans to participate in casting the tripod.

In addition, they have also studied the tiger slaves, believing that they are descendants of the people of the ancient Shang Dynasty and belong to the "ancient tribes". Although they have tiger ears and tiger tails, they are not human-demon hybrids, but rather manifestations of "divine blood".

Therefore, it is suggested that the tiger slaves should no longer be enslaved, but rather their status as ancient remnants should be restored, and they should be educated and assisted in casting the Hongzhou Ding.

Song Wuji never expected that these tiger servants, who seemed to bring good fortune, were actually descendants of ancient people.

However, thinking of the ancient human race, they all seemed to have some strange transformations. Some had dragon heads, and some had transparent bellies. It's normal for these Tiger Fang descendants to have tiger ears and tiger tails.

So the news was announced on the Heavenly Net, the Tiger Fang Secret Realm was abolished, the Tiger Fang people were removed from their status as tiger servants, and the Tiger Fang Secret Realm was transformed into a Tiger Fang ancient people protection area and development zone. The restrictions on marriage between Tiger Fang people and their descendants were lifted, and the area was simply considered as having one more ethnic minority in the territory.

After Song Wuji granted these benefits to the Hu Fang tribe and removed their shackles, many Hu Fang people naturally understood.

Although Song Wuji had killed Tiger God Cangxuan, Tiger High Priest, Tiger King, and a large number of Tiger nobles who had transformed into tiger demons by refining tiger souls.

Even after mastering the talent of "taming birds and beasts", a large number of people flocked to the Tiger Realm and took over all the tigers that the Tiger Realm people were taking care of, leaving them with no tigers to care for.

But they were still extremely excited, their faces flushed, their hands waving, and they jumped around.

"The Tiger Realm only has one Realm Lord, and that is Realm Lord Song!"

"The Tiger faction has only one sun, and that is Lord Song!"

"Tiger Fang only has one sky, and that is the sky that Lord Song has provided for us!"

The registration of all citizens of Hu Fang was quickly carried out by the officials in charge of household registration.

After being registered, all the people of Hufang worshipped the hearth fire and gained internet access, as well as the right to freely enter and exit the secret realm and freely choose their own rituals.
