Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 315 Power
The world has four poles, which divide the four continents.

Of course, the actual implementation method will be under the guise of humanitarian support for countries on four continents and saving their people from the harm of the fog.

However, if the four major powers can truly clear away the fog in various parts of the four continents, it would be better than letting those smaller countries allow the fog to spread unchecked.

Even if it was out of selfishness, at least they did something practical and genuinely reduced the casualties among innocent people.

"We must first ensure domestic stability before we can devote enough energy to clearing away the fog spreading to neighboring countries, which is why we decided to implement the state chaplaincy system."

The president remarked with some emotion.

Ji Fuyou understood the true meaning of the "stability" the president spoke of.

Xia uses force to break the ban.

The "unstable" factors they mentioned clearly included these martial saints themselves.

However, times have changed, and they are unable to completely eliminate the "unstable" factor of the Martial Saint. In fact, as time goes by, the Martial Saint's power is becoming stronger, and they will not have enough means to effectively counterbalance him.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to delegate power first and achieve a smooth transition before the two sides break off relations and cause irreconcilable conflicts.

This will at least ensure the safe arrival of their current federal government.

"I was somewhat surprised that the Supreme Council could make this decision."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"Ji Wusheng has this idea because he doesn't understand the Supreme Council."

The president said, "To some extent, the interests of our Supreme Council and ordinary people are aligned. People want a stable life, and we... also want the Federation to maintain stability, and we have always done so."

"Has this been the practice all along? If so, why are there still so many violations and illegal activities?"

Ji Fuyou Road.

The president was silent for a moment, and after a long while, he said, "Isn't the lowest-cost way to maintain stability to make 'law-abiding' people even more 'law-abiding'? After all... those who are truly lawless are only a minority..."

"And those who 'don't obey the law' can be above the law?"

Ji Fuyou Road.

"Apart from a few people who are driven by emotions, the people who are truly qualified to 'disobey the law' represent the 'law' itself."

As the president spoke, he remarked with emotion, "Since ancient times, all social systems have operated in this way. This is the most 'stable' system. In fact, as you have seen, apart from the occasional ripples, society operates in an orderly manner. And these ripples are unavoidable. For the Federation, and indeed for everyone, stability is paramount!"

"Waves..."

Ji Fuyou couldn't help but think of a sentence.

The overall situation is important.

Stability is the key to the overall stability of the federal government.

For this goal, for the greater good, some sacrifices are acceptable.

The reason he felt resentful and angry was because...

These "sacrifices" might fall on him at any time.

Especially as time goes on, the number of "lawbreakers" who are actually "lawbreakers" will continue to increase, and the probability of such "sacrifice" will become greater and greater.

One day, when this sacrifice becomes so immense that people can no longer bear it...

"Ji Wusheng cultivates step by step and climbs higher and higher. Isn't his ultimate goal to become an 'outlaw'? Of course, to put it more nicely, it's to avoid being 'sacrificed'."

The president smiled and said, "There is no difference in essence between the two."

"As the First Speaker who can defeat all opponents, I certainly cannot argue with the President on political matters."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"To govern a country, you must govern human nature, but human nature is inherently evil, selfish and self-serving!"

The president sighed as he spoke: "The only thing we can do is maintain a general level of fairness and stability. On the basis of 'stability,' which represents everything, we can only turn a blind eye to some 'illegal' activities."

He confronted Ji Fuyou directly: "It's like a martial saint who has committed murder. At this time, should we use enormous manpower and resources to bring him to justice, even at the cost of sacrificing hundreds or even thousands of people, or should we give him a chance to repent and atone for his sins?"

Ji Fuyou did not reply.

He didn't know how to answer that question either.

Governing a country is never a simple matter.

It involves over a billion people, and no government decree can comprehensively benefit everyone.

At that moment, Ji Fuyou did not continue on this topic, but instead asked, "Internally, we will restart the governorship system and delegate power to lower levels. Externally, we will mobilize manpower to conquer the various countries of the Eastern Divine Continent... How exactly do you plan to implement this system?"

As he spoke, he added, "One Martial Saint oversees an entire state? Does the Federation have nineteen Martial Saints?"

"Of course not."

The president said, "The implementation of the state governor system is not something that can be accomplished overnight. The premise for a martial saint to serve as a state governor and be stationed in a state is that those large states need a martial saint to be stationed there, that is, there must be a forbidden land of great threat in the mist."

"A forbidden area posing a significant threat? Does Huanglong Cave count?"

"Not counting."

The president shook his head: "The Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes doesn't count either. The forbidden areas that can be considered extremely threatening at present are the Death Rift Valley in Qingzhou, the ruins of Yindu in Xizhou, and the large states to which Bibo Lake and Misty Forest belong."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Martial Saint Ji can choose either Qingzhou or Xizhou as his base of operations."

"What if I were to choose Chuzhou?"

Ji Fuyou Road.

"Chuzhou..."

The president said helplessly, "If Ji Wusheng insists on choosing Chuzhou, we can only accept it. However, we still hope that Ji Wusheng will contribute to curbing the spread of the forbidden areas, considering that many forbidden areas need someone to guard them."

Qingzhou is not only home to the Death Rift Valley, but also includes the forbidden area of ​​Sky Ridge.

In addition, Wanshe Valley and Longshou Town are also under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou.

There are three forbidden areas in one state. The remaining western state is equally dangerous.

Leaving aside the ruins of Yindu, the Black and White Sand Sea is actually also under the jurisdiction of Xizhou.

Both of these places have potential hidden dangers.

At that moment, the president suddenly said, "If Ji Wusheng really wants to become the governor of Chuzhou, it's not impossible."

He began, “If we follow the standard of establishing governors only in areas with high-risk forbidden zones, there are actually only six major states that need governors today, while the number of Martial Saints is more than six. Considering this reason, and the fact that the mist is a global event rather than something that happens in one state or one country, the federal government plans to establish governors in some border areas as well. These governors will be responsible not only for the mist within their own territory, but also for clearing the danger of the mist in neighboring countries.”

"That has little to do with Chuzhou."

Ji Fuyou said, "Chuzhou has neither high-risk forbidden areas nor borders any external forces."

“If Ji Wusheng is willing to take over the territories of countries like Da Ri and Fan Tian, ​​we can discuss having Ji Wusheng control the three provinces of Qing, Xi, and Chu.”

The president said with a smile.

It seems that this arrangement was made long ago.

"Control the three states..."

This means that the entire area south of the Eastern Divine Continent is being handed over to him.

"With great power comes great responsibility. If a talent like Ji Wusheng is confined to a single state like ordinary martial saints, it would be a waste of his talent."

The president immediately showered him with praise.

He continued, "Furthermore, Ji Wusheng founded the first martial arts university in Chuzhou, intending to promote martial arts. This policy also requires sufficient territory to implement. The three states are not enough. We can give this university the highest level of treatment, making it the highest institution of learning in the hearts of all martial arts practitioners."

Ji Fuyou wasn't particularly moved by this.

but……

Darth is conducive to the world.

Since he has the ability, it is only reasonable for him to do more within his capacity.

Especially as he comes into contact with Rainbow Sun City, the strength of the beasts in the mist will inevitably increase significantly. As the inheritor of the Eternal Day Heavenly Scripture, he also has the obligation to shoulder this responsibility to ensure the safety of each state and the spread of martial arts.

Without further hesitation, he said, "Let's do it this way then."

He nodded: "I will control the three states and be responsible for clearing the fog from the countries south of the Eastern Divine Continent. However, I do not want anyone within the Federation stirring up trouble while I focus my attention on the southern countries outside the three states."

After saying that, he added, "Especially those people on the Heavenly Ranking. If any of them suffer any mishap... no matter who did it, don't blame me for taking direct action without showing any mercy."

"I understand, I will convey your message."

The president nodded: "If there are any more people who act so recklessly, we will take the initiative to deal with them without you having to tell us."

"it is good."

Ji Fuyou agreed.

When the topic of the Heavenly Ranking came up, the president seemed to remember something: "Although Ji Wusheng's strength is unparalleled, and he can defeat all six Wusheng at the same time, you still have to be careful of two people."

"Who?"

"The first one is Lin Lun."

The president's expression turned grave: "Lin Lun goes without saying. He's been on a killing spree for months, hunting down anyone with a Celestial Rank. He's not just targeting our Federation; he's also targeted the Black Gold Empire and the Griffin Republic. By now, he probably has seventy or eighty Celestial Ranks..."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

This Prince Linlun's strength has grown too fast; he may have even had contact with otherworldly civilizations.

In order to complete his journey to the Great Heavenly Rank, he might also set his sights on those people in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.

"I will find him and deal with him when I have time."

Ji Fuyou said in a deep voice.

"That's best."

The president was naturally pleased to see this happen.

He then continued, "As for the second person, it is Xia Zheng."

"Xia Zheng?"

Ji Fuyou was somewhat surprised.

If I remember correctly, he was just a spiritual master?

"The reason why the Sun King and the Equal King were able to infiltrate Tiandu City and cause great damage is because Xia Zheng was there to support them from within."

The president's eyes held a hint of coldness: "During his cooperation with the two Martial Saints, he also gained more than a dozen rank power, and while using the Sun King and the King of Equality to attract attention, he simply disappeared without a trace."

"The traitor..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuyou finally understood the reason why the attacks on the Sun King and the King of Equality had gone so smoothly.

"Xia Zheng may have believed someone's rumor that...you killed his son...so, whether it's for revenge, for his rank, or for something else...he might have attacked you."

The president glanced at Ji Fuyou as he spoke: "With your strength, an ordinary Martial Saint is no match for you. But what if Xia Zheng didn't follow the path of a Martial Saint, but instead became a Spiritual Saint and launched a sneak attack... just like when you assassinated Zhu Long at the Master level..."

Ji Fuyou nodded after hearing this: "Thank you for informing me."

Seeing this, the president continued to exchange information with Ji Fuyou that was only available to the most elite circles in the federal government and even internationally.

While communicating with him, Ji Fuyou also occasionally answered questions from Zuo Chunqiu, Zhao Changkong, and others about cultivating vitality.

Several hours passed quickly.

A figure descended from the sky...

The remaining source crystals have finally been delivered.
