Chapter 450 420: Why Is This New Governor So Evil?
As Chu Yi waited silently, muttering in his heart, the entire void trembled.
A strand of divine, supreme, and majestic aura descended, transforming into thousands of palaces, pulling him into this bizarre world as if carried by its force.
Thousands of halls hung in the sky, like lanterns, fluctuating up and down, drifting unpredictably, emanating brilliant light, forming a celestial river across the starry sky.
Yet even the weakest spark could ignite a primordial planet in the universe, burning it to ashes.
This,
was the Federation governor's ceremony, steeped in history, with a long lineage.
Each palace was a legacy left by the powerhouses of the Dark Era, Starfire Era, and Beast Taming Era.
Well-acquainted, Chu Yi examined once again.
Though he had experienced this once during a life simulation, that time he was wary of whether the Federation would intervene, without taking a close look.
Just by approaching, the ancient, obscure, whispered murmurs arose in his ears, dense and close.
As Chu Yi advanced seven or eight steps, a massive tentacle instantly reached out, pulling the lured Chu Yi inside, to receive forbidden knowledge polluted by a fallen powerhouse.
Boom!
The true flames of the sun and Candle Dragon fire burned, the tentacle exploded into a heap of minced flesh, retreating back in fright, the whispered words receding like the tide, then vanishing.
"Here, even Ancient Ones, Evil Gods, and taboos are buried within."
Chu Yi examined, even with the Clock Eye he couldn't perceive the core, safeguarded by this supreme land.
He couldn't help but suspect that this place was both where governors were enshrined and a graveyard for many fallen powerhouses, a great conspiracy lurking behind.
Causality reminded him constantly.
This place was dangerous,
extremely dangerous...
If not for the life simulation experience, Chu Yi would have long fled.
"No point in thinking about it, I have my escape plan anyway."
Chu Yi was calm and composed, as if nothing had happened, waiting for a summons.
A long time passed.
A token fell before Chu Yi, trapezoidal in shape, with a blue-golden hue, engraved with a vivid phoenix bird on the front, and cloud patterns on the back, inscribed with "Sihong" in golden letters.
Having experienced this before, Chu Yi had investigated the token's origin and use.
This was the State Creation Order, known as the City Creation Order before the Federation was established.
Issued by the Supreme Council, with this token, the new governor could open up a region.
Generally, governors in the Federation inherited through succession, election, or usurpation; creating a new governor was quite rare.
Moreover, not all State Creation Orders were identical.
Each State Creation Order represented a faction within the Supreme Council, and the one Chu Yi held was engraved with the royal surname "Sihong" from the previous dynasty, symbolizing the royal party, aiming for imperial restoration and dominance.
Having had a ten day governor's experience, he naturally understood he had caught a significant alliance.
The royal party was a special faction within the Supreme Council, possessing immeasurable wealth from the previous dynasty, making them the top among many factions!
Being wealthy was the biggest tag for this faction.
However, due to some agreement made between the previous Empire and the Federation, the Federation was thus established.
Immediately.
Chu Yi ignored the ceaseless instructions at his ear, crushed the State Creation Order.
Boom!
His vision soared, as if he had arrived in outer space, chaotic currents surged through the cosmic sea, he transformed into a true deity, capable of creating worlds and life with a thought.
This was more like harnessing the power of the State Creation Order to reach a high-dimensional world and become a creator god.
Chu Yi's gaze landed on hundreds of bubbles, each representing a piece of the borderlands, for him to choose from, forming a region composed of supreme mighty power, with limits elevated to the Radiant Moon tier.
"No wonder the borderlands don't allow the Radiant Moon tier to appear; borderland's spiritual defenses cannot withstand the destructive force of multiple Radiant Moon beings."
"Like the Ice Dragon King, just moving a few steps would be destructive to the borderlands."
"But a region is a world of its own, with resources, secret realms, pet beasts, and wealth far surpassing the borderlands."
Chu Yi glanced over, and immediately chose the eighteen border cities, including Yaoguang City, with millions of residents, as the citizens under his region.
As for other borderlands, Chu Yi was yet to consider.
Quickly.
The crust shifted, and the selected border cities, including Yaoguang City, pieced together like a puzzle; Chu Yi, with a thought, could place the city in any corner, including mountains, rivers, inland lakes, etc.
When Chu Yi randomly selected, under the arrangement of causality, and decided the layout like a graffiti, forming a region, it fell like a meteor, onto a vacant territory of the Federation.
Adjacent to a region, but cloaked by fog on three sides.
The mist, was the conflict zone of alien races, eyeing this fertile land.
"Just like the life simulation, arranging me on three sides facing the alien races, treating me as a sun god to be worked like cattle."
Chu Yi tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Though the governor controlled a region, with significant power, even the Supreme Council couldn't dismiss without justification.
However, power and duty were intertwined; the governor had to achieve political success and participate on the alien front, maintaining national security.
Upon naming the region, Chu Yi made no hesitation.
"Chu Region."
With these words, the newly opened region was crowned as Chu Region, gaining worldwide recognition.
Meanwhile.
As governor, Chu Yi possessed the region, stepping onto the Federation's political stage.
Chu Yi, the newly born sun god, King's Husband of the fourth princess of the Enchanting Demon Royal Court, a close ally of the Moon God Royal Court, newly appointed Federation governor.
These four identities, each holding distinguished status alone, when combined, the impact was truly terrifying.
"Tweet Tweet!"
The phoenix bird token exhausted its power, transforming into a rune, merging with Chu Yi, linking him to the Federation's causality.
At that moment.
The Imperial Capital dispersed a strand of mighty power, resonating with the phoenix bird rune within Chu Yi, summoning him to appear, Chu Yi answered the summons.
Familiar as ever, Chu Yi saw his vision drastically change, arriving at a grand, sacred, and supreme hall.
The venue was filled with people.
Including twenty governors who usually missed the meetings.
Over ten thousand officials, more than eight hundred delegates, one hundred and seventy-one governors, and all four elders attended.
As Chu Yi's projection stepped onto the stage, the four elders on the rostrum, previously listening with their eyes closed to the delegates' debates, immediately opened their eyes, turning their gaze to Chu Yi.
Meanwhile, the one hundred and seventy governors all directed their glances, carrying goodwill, malice, curiosity, and scrutiny towards Chu Yi.
Chu Yi's vision wavered, seeing within the supreme divine kingdom one hundred seventy airborne suns, carrying a terrifying will, crushing down; with weaker cultivation, one could be crushed to death.
Even more terrifying were the four elders.
Just the appearance of the first was akin to looking up at a streetside in a city, seeing a monstrous beast in space, ready to swallow an entire planet along with its maw.
Chu Yi remained unfazed, raising his golden crow wings, dragon and phoenix cried in harmony, deploying power a hundredfold, causing over thirty governors' gazes to flinch, retracting their eyes.
A few weaker ones erupted blood streaks entirely, toppling from their thrones, collapsing onto the ground.
The entire hall fell silent.
