In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 364 Supreme Councilor

This means that Shen Xing can leave this world at any time and go to the so-called "upper realm".

Moreover, he was confident that at this stage, with the help of the flying shuttle, even those at the eighth level could not do anything to him.

However, now is indeed not the time.

His cultivation has only just reached the crucial seventh realm, and he needs some time to familiarize himself with this new level. All the martial arts concepts still need to be comprehended at the seventh realm, and this alone will take countless years.

Clearly, after reaching the seventh realm, time slowed down further for Shen Xing.

Moreover, after occupying the Central Ruins, there are many things that Shen Xing needs to do personally.

Putting aside other things, during the years he was in seclusion, the connection between the Central Ruins and the Human Federation slowed down considerably, because Shen Xing had to personally handle all the movement of resources and personnel.

Under such circumstances, it is conceivable that he will be busy for a long time to come.

And that is indeed the case.

As the results of this great battle spread, the entire Central Ruins were plunged into great panic. Many holy lands, which were already relatively weak in cohesion, collapsed directly. A large number of battles broke out in quick succession. It was only natural for warriors to fight each other for resources. Even the mortal world was greatly affected, and conflicts in some cities and countries were ignited in a short period of time.

The entire Central Ruins were plunged into chaos.

Although such chaos was inevitable in the transition of order, Shen Xing still sped up.

He directly ordered all the saints to come to the Refining Heaven Workshop for a meeting to quickly establish a new order.

In the end, apart from those sages who were already living in seclusion, about 80% of the sages with names and surnames came.

This is already an astonishing number.

The carefree sage can be said to have played a significant role in this.

These days, countless saints have gathered to observe the Sage Wuyou, and whether openly or secretly, they have all tried to study the restrictions on Wuyou.

They all came to the same conclusion—Shen Xing's mastery of space has even surpassed that of the Great Sage.

After all, even a Great Sage can only forcibly manipulate space by relying on high-quality Yuan energy. Being able to learn some martial arts concepts related to space and understand how to use some space-based runes, such as teleportation and sealing, is already enough to be considered a master of space techniques.

However, this level is incomparable to what Shen Xing did to the Sage of No Worries.

It's like learning a couple of dragon-themed martial arts techniques, but the difference between that and a real dragon.

Everyone was certain that Shen Xing had integrated space into his martial arts and had embarked on an unprecedented "Great Path of Space"!

In at least the entire history of the past million years, there has never been a second one!

And what this means couldn't be clearer.

The sage who controls space is the king among sages, a true "sage king"!

At this level, one is invincible. One is not a Great Sage, but one's status may even surpass that of a Great Sage!

In this situation, the entire world falling into Shen Xing's hands is an established reality. Even if all the saints act together, they cannot stop Shen Xing. In fact, even if a great saint risks the destruction of the world to take action, they may not be able to do anything to Shen Xing!

This understanding is one of the key reasons why these 80% of saints appeared before Shen Xing.

"I take over the world not to destroy it, but to seek greater and more lasting benefits."

Shen Xing hovered alone atop the mountain peak, facing eight hundred saints, each exuding an aura that resembled both Buddha and god. However, all of them kept their eyes lowered, and they dared not even exceed Shen Xing's height.

In the entire world, only Shen Xing's voice could be heard.

At this moment, he continued, "We will naturally not do something like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Therefore, I require you to quickly restore order under your command and prevent excessive casualties among martial artists. This is the first point. Secondly, although there are no longer any holy lands in the world, there is a federation. New rules and regulations must be established in the shortest possible time, and you must all cooperate fully. Thirdly, although the Central Ruins are the center of the world, the four directions—east, west, south, and north—are equally prosperous and should not be underestimated. You should send envoys to bring these four directions under the rule of our federation."

Many people probably didn't expect that Shen Xing, who was already so powerful, even invincible, summoned them not to establish power or to plunder profits.

On the contrary, we really need to work hard to build up the whole world.

This has also raised hopes in the hearts of some people.

Their greatest fear was that once the Federal Holy Land seized power over the entire world, it would no longer care about their interests. No saint could accept the humiliation of being completely powerless.

But now, the situation has reached its worst point. Things that were unacceptable in the past are now things we just hope won't get any worse.

No one objected to any of the orders Shen Xing gave.

In this martial arts world, there is no shortage of manpower.

If a sage opposes something, kill all the sages; if the sun and moon oppose something, kill all the sun and moon. Even if the world is governed by mountains and seas, at most dozens of sages will be born in ten thousand years.

In a lifespan of almost infinite length, such a supreme being would never fail as long as he was interested in doing something.

He will surely be able to transform the entire world into the way he wants it to be.

In this situation, there is no point in opposing it.

Thus, with these sages obediently following the arrangements and even being quite proactive, it only took a little over a decade for the entire Central Ruins region to finally approach peace.

An empire called the "Federation" was created.

Yes, the empire.

This is due to cognitive issues. The federal system is difficult for martial artists in this world to understand in a short time. Moreover, the human federation lacks manpower and strength. Under such circumstances, we can only adopt a system that is familiar to the martial artists of this world for the time being.

Moreover, empires also have their advantages.

That is absolute authority, absolute centralization of power.

Although it is not conducive to development in the long run, in the short term it is the best choice to quickly create a new order and increase productivity.

The alchemy and weapon crafting industries alone have seen a hundredfold increase in just over a decade.

It is even developing at an alarming rate.

Shen Xingguang always brought back more pills and elixirs to the Human Federation than anyone could imagine.

Of course, his hard work wasn't for nothing.

All these pills were distributed to the entire Federation through "Taixu City," which he now owns. The tax revenue alone reached an astonishing level, and the entire city was able to expand rapidly, even becoming a "martial arts holy land" of the Human Federation.

In the current Human Federation, those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage in martial arts go to their home planet, while those who have achieved mastery in martial arts go to Taixu City!

This ever-growing space city is rapidly establishing its place in history.

Shen Xing, the city lord of Taixu City, is now known throughout the Federation.

In fact, today is the day he was exceptionally granted the status of a top legislator.

Originally, Shen Xing did not intend to obtain the status of the highest councilor so quickly. After stepping into the seventh realm and crossing the crucial level from the sixth to the seventh realm, the eighth realm for him was only a matter of time and accumulation.

Moreover, the title of Supreme Councilor is more of a title than a reality. His current status, power, wealth, and influence are no less than any other Supreme Councilor, and may even surpass most of them.

Ultimately, all of this is based on his outstanding contributions to the Federation of Humanity.

This contribution cannot be taken away as long as the federation exists.

However, it is precisely because of this that the six highest councilors seem to intend to directly grant him this status commensurate with his position.

The entire ceremony was both simple and complex.

The ritual itself is simple.

There was no live broadcast, no stage, and no cameras; it looked like a small dinner party.

But what's not simple is people.

All six individuals at the Eighth Realm stepped forward at this moment. Of the 186 individuals who had grown in number over the past few hundred years, a full 80% had come. Those who were unable to attend appeared in their seats via projection.

It can be said that the group of people who stand at the very forefront of the entire Human Federation have now basically gathered here.

Shen Xing finally met the six top councilors.

Somewhat surprisingly, none of these six individuals appeared to be under forty years old.

Even the only woman among them looked to be over forty years old. Although she had an outstanding temperament, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were clearly visible.

"Do you find our appearance strange?" an old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties laughed, clearly understanding what Shen Xing was thinking.

"Indeed." Shen Xing nodded, making no attempt to hide it.

He looked at the Eight Realms expert in front of him.

The highest councilors of the Human Federation are all of equal status, and there is no saying that one is the strongest. However, if a leader had to be chosen from this small team of only six, then the one in front of us would probably be the most deserving.

Lin Chaoyang.

It's a very ordinary name.

However, he was the most powerful warrior among those who emerged from the Dark Ages.

Born in 2032, when the crack appeared on the moon, he was just a very young man. Like most young people at the time, after experiencing fear, sacrifice, chaos and a series of other changes, he joined the army and embarked on the path of defending his homeland.

After that, he embarked on the path of martial arts, stood out from the crowd, and went through countless wars to get to where he is today.

"Although we have completely transcended the definition of humanity in terms of life level, our essence is still that of humans, humans whose lifespan is only a short hundred years." Lin Chaoyang said with a smile, as if chatting casually, "Childhood, adolescence, adulthood, then middle age, old age, each stage represents a psychological age, which is a different view of life and a self-awareness. That's why Wenren Caifeng and Ji Long are so young, and we are so old."

"Because you have experienced far more than they have." Shen Xing nodded, indicating that he understood.

"That's right." Lin Chaoyang nodded with a smile. "So, our mindset is old, while yours is just right. This civilization is still very young and needs younger people to lead it."

Shen Xing remained silent for a while, then suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"It sounds to me like you want to be a hands-off manager?"

"Hahaha." A high-ranking councilor who looked to be in his fifties laughed. "Old Lin, the new generation of martial artists are not easy to fool. Don't try to pull out your tricks. Do you think no one can't see through them?"

"I'm telling the truth." Lin Chaoyang shook his head. "I already have a house full of children and grandchildren, twelve generations under one roof. Apart from martial arts, I really don't have the fighting spirit to work hard anymore. Now the younger generation has risen up and is more reliable. It's time for us to retire."

"Supreme Councilors don't have the concept of retirement," Shen Xing interjected. "Besides, if having a house full of children and grandchildren were enough to retire, perhaps in a few thousand years, I'll have more descendants than you."

"Oh?" Lin Chaoyang's eyes lit up. "You have a girlfriend? The information didn't mention it. I know, is it Wenren Caifeng's apprentice, or that little girl from the Nangong family? Or do you want both? Hehe, you should thank me for this. I'm the one who changed the law that abolished the restrictions on conventional marriage for high-level martial artists."

Seeing that the Great Sage, who looked like a little old man, suddenly started gossiping with him, Shen Xing was stunned for a moment.

However, he reacted very quickly.

He inquired with great interest.

In the two-thousand-year history of martial arts development, many things have changed dramatically, not only in the fields of technology and life evolution, but also in all aspects of society.

Relationships between people, including moral relationships, have become more diverse.

Of course, there are many negative aspects, but there are also many positive aspects.

In the past, Shen Xing knew absolutely nothing about this.

Despite being over three hundred or even four hundred years old, he has actually spent most of that time cultivating. He has never actually entered the civilization and society of the Human Federation.

All my goodwill and sense of belonging to it stem from a superficial understanding.

Therefore, after entering the seventh realm, Shen Xing prepared to properly understand this civilization.

He also had enough time.

As Lin Chaoyang said, the future of the Human Federation actually belongs to him; his will and his understanding will influence the entire civilization.

Thus, Shen Xing, the newly elected Supreme Councilor, enthusiastically discussed various gossips with the other Supreme Councilors in front of all the other councilors.

But this scene didn't seem strange at all; on the contrary, many councilors listened with great interest.
