Chapter 1441: Chapter 660: Demon Slaying Order: Open the Gates, Free Trade!
“Gulf Stream God, appear.”
Byron gave a soft command, and invisible ripples swiftly spread towards the depths of the bay before him.
Within just three seconds, a massive vortex quietly formed in front of the fleet, its diameter sufficient to effortlessly swallow a dreadnought-level steam battleship 160 meters in length.
A colossal being, part human, part whale, leapt from the vortex.
Its appearance resembled a blend of humpback whale and human, yet it had a complete human head, indicating that its human nature was dominant, possessing complete rationality.
Its head was surrounded by a circle of golden divine aura, exuding a mysterious sense of holiness.
The newcomer bowed deeply, humbly greeting Byron:
“Honored Your Majesty, Gulf Stream God Coleville pays tribute to you.”
Upon Byron’s coronation as Emperor, he possessed both Earth’s Power and Human Rights, and gained two new abilities: [Summoning Heroic Spirits] and [Feudalism].
He had already used them in the Mermaid Kingdom.
The Gulf Stream God before him was also a product of this authority.
Coleville had once been a wild Third Order Totem God, and now he became a designated divine within the [Golden Law] system.
[Feudalism]: “It allows the ennoblement of various levels of human nobility, including granting a kingly title, and can consecrate the mountains, rivers, and nature spirits within one’s own territory, enabling them to suppress earth vein nodes and assist in national governance, ensuring favorable weather.”
After returning from the Corridor of Truth, Byron consecrated numerous nature spirits within his territory, all of whom have been his loyal followers since the unification of the two major Native Empires on Yucatan Island.
All, like the Feathered Serpent God, were able to maintain their true selves in such a wilderness without accepting blood sacrifices, relatively upright.
Byron wove various ranks of divine positions for them within his [Golden Law], akin to human official positions; the seven-layer law consisted of seven levels, corresponding to the orders of Transcendents.
Of course, beyond Fifth Order, it becomes the domain of Orthodox Pseudo-Gods and Demigods, hence the highest rank of divine positions is currently Fourth Order, sufficient for national management.
These divines no longer need to cultivate tribes, city-states, or occasionally initiate crowned wars to hunt for offerings, nor fear being defeated and consumed by other totem gods.
Instead, they need only work diligently for Byron, sharing in the Belief Willpower flowing within the Law Network, continuously enhancing their power and acquiring longevity.
Isn’t it said that the ultimate fate of the universe is in employment creation?
Just the aspect of “drought-proof and flood-proof” alone is enough to make countless people fight over it.
The only drawback is that these farming-sequence nature spirits haven’t found their Immortal Stairway, unable to truly maintain self-independence.
However, this aspect is a bonus for humans.
Over long periods, human Mind Wish Power will gradually revise and reshape the thoughts of in-service divines, making them perfectly aligned with the requirements of their corresponding divine positions.
For example: “The Supervisor God, Law God must be absolutely fair and strict, will not favor nobility or the wealthy, nor discriminate against the populace based on gender, race, or age.”
Weak genders will not receive preferential treatment, absurdities like divorcing without splitting half the spirituality and transcendent abilities of the male are absent; special ethnicities lack privileges, treated equally;
Little demons are still demons, severe criminals are raised to adulthood before executing death penalties, bad people remain bad even when old, cannot exploit seniors for wrongdoing… “
Others include Land God, River God, Forest God, City State God… each with their own responsibilities.
In the center, there’s the absolutely fair and impartial central intelligence [Alpha], acting as a core processor for task distribution and emergency response, gradually forming a massive divine-assisted administrative system.
Of course, the general executors of tasks are still humans, and these divines will only intervene when human officials make mistakes or violate legal rules.
The balance between humans and divines, jointly loyal to Byron, the Empire’s Emperor.
“What?
You say the laws are so stringent, not even a chance for corruption, that the officials of my Sacred Golden Empire and North Sea Empire won’t even be dogs?”
Byron could only say, “Young, too young.”
According to what he knows, historically, there was a dynasty where the Emperor believed castrated men were most loyal to him, thus required officials to be eunuchs, yet official enthusiasts still thronged eagerly.
There’s nothing wrong with returning public servants to their essence.
With this “Human-God Assisted Governance System,” the Sacred Golden Empire and North Sea Empire, though outwardly still backward autocratic empires, have already broken through to governance levels far ahead, halfway stepping into the cosmic ocean.
If Byron can emerge as the fabled [God above God] amidst the competition of old gods, creators, over the “Triple Point,” he could thoroughly take this step.
Leading the pirate civilization he had already transformed to achieve dimensional elevation!
As for the Gulf Stream God stationed in coastal regions before him, his responsibilities are patrolling and guarding the 12 nautical mile territorial waters, providing short-distance teleportation services for military operations.
Byron and his two queens leaped onto the deck of the fleet’s flagship [Vanguard], ordering [Gulf Stream God] Coleville:
“Collectively teleport to the sea trial proving ground.”
“As you command, Your Majesty.”
The vortex beside Coleville rapidly erected, forming a vertical whirlpool tunnel aligned with the sea surface, into which the fleet entered and disappeared in an instant.
A few breaths later, the entire fleet had already reached the western side of Yucatan Island, adjacent to the Stormy Ocean, aided by “Vortex Transmission.”
Even more convenient than those [Large Sea Monster · Barnacle Crab] of the past.
