Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 338 Standard
Ji Fuyou's appointment as chairman of the first war committee was passed unanimously without any obstacles.

Next, six committee members were elected.

These six committee members are Song Lingxiao, representing the former president's camp; Luo Siming, representing the second speaker; Zuo Chunqiu, representing the third speaker; Zhao Changkong, representing the fourth speaker; President Li Ao; and Fang Qiyun, who also achieved the title of Martial Saint.

From now on, the general direction of the Federation will be controlled by six commissioners, plus Chairman Ji Fuyou, making a total of seven people, and then implemented by four major departments.

Of these four departments, the most crucial one, representing the future of civilization, is the Minister of the Heavenly Ranking War Department, which is personally held by Ji Fuyou, who is also the Chairman of the Committee.

The Mist Defense Department, which wields the most power but also has the most affairs to handle, is headed by Song Lingxiao.

The Overseas Support Department was handed over to Zuo Chunqiu.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs was naturally overseen by Leo.

The so-called Ministry of State Economy is actually a supreme council stripped of a large amount of power.

This meeting not only decided on the ministerial positions, but also elected several deputy ministers.

Of the nine speakers, four, including the third and fourth speakers, have chosen to retire due to their advanced age. The remaining speakers continue to serve as deputy speakers in the four major ministries, assisting the ministers in handling matters large and small.

With little change in the core leadership, the Great Shang Federation will be able to get up and running quickly.

……

Yunding Mountain.

The urban area of ​​Tiandu City is surrounded by mountains, and the straight-line distance to the nine tall towers is less than three kilometers.

This mountainous area covers approximately six square kilometers and is one of the most famous forest parks in Tiandu City.

However, this quiet mountain forest is not open to the public. It is claimed to be a military area, but in reality, it is a vacation and leisure place for the top elites of Tiandu City.

The military presence was solely for the safety of the powerful and wealthy who lived in the mountains.

The mountain peak is only over 600 meters high, with hundreds of buildings and villas of all sizes, as well as small and medium-sized manors that can accommodate dozens or hundreds of people.

Those who held high positions on the Heavenly Ranking lived on Cloud Peak Mountain.

After taking over Tiandu and becoming the chairman of the War Committee, Ji Fuyou did not take over the nine towers. Instead, he left them as the office of the Ministry of State Economic Affairs and moved his own team from the Tianbang War Department to Yunding Mountain.

Meanwhile, he was on the mountain, giving instructions to several core team members.

"Next, you will each have your own positions. Yang Kaitai will go to the Mist Defense Department, Xiaoxue will go to the Overseas Support Department, Liu Yiren will go to the State Economic Department, and Fang Qiyun will stay in the Heavenly Ranking War Department to assist me in handling matters here. Although you are all deputy positions, your tasks are very heavy."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Yang Kaitai was both excited and wistful upon hearing this: "Actually, we would much rather stay by your side, Captain, and fight alongside you in dangerous places to battle alien beasts and monsters, and witness the miracles you create."

There will be other opportunities in the future.

Ji Fuyou smiled and said, "At least, the Heavenly Ranking War requires all of us to work together. When that time comes, we will naturally have to fight side by side again."

Yang Kaitai listened and nodded.

Liu Yiren hesitated for a moment, then said, "Captain, I've gone to the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and Yang Kaitai and Xiaoxue have also taken up their posts. But then, won't you be left without anyone by your side? Qiyun might not be able to handle it all by herself..."

"It's alright. Although I am the chairman of the Heavenly Ranking Committee, I know very well what my true significance is—to make the final decisions and control the general direction of the Federation's development. Other matters, big and small, do not require my involvement; the ministers and their deputies can handle them on their own."

Ji Fuyou said, "Moreover, as long as I can maintain an absolute lead in strength, I don't need to worry about the ministers having any ulterior motives. In this way, no matter how chaotic the outside world becomes due to the invasion of the mist, the Great Shang Federation will not be in chaos."

Fang Qiyun nodded and said to the group, "I will assist the captain here. You have all been to Rainbow Sun City and know what it is like. In that city, the Holy Venerable is high above and is the spiritual pillar of all the people of Rainbow Sun City. His disciples handle all matters, big and small, but this does not affect the Holy Venerable's lofty status."

"The Holy Venerable of Rainbow Sun City..."

After hearing Fang Qiyun's words, the group vaguely understood her plan.

She intends to mold Ji Fuyou into a pillar of stability for the Shang Dynasty.

Even if he no longer held the position of Chairman of the War Committee and was in a position of great righteousness, his existence would still be like a torch, illuminating the entire Shang Dynasty.

"Next, I will discuss with President Leo... Minister Leo about vigorously promoting the captain, such as the pioneer of Divine Strength, the disseminator of the Vitality Technique, the first spiritual saint in the history of Red Star, the number one person in the Heavenly Ranking War, and so on. When the time is right, we will even launch a god-making campaign..."

"Let's forget about the number one player in the Heavenly Ranking War."

Ji Fuyou interrupted Fang Qiyun.

"Ok?"

Fang Qiyun was somewhat surprised, then seemed to realize something: "Does the captain think it doesn't fit? But considering the situation of our Crimson Star, you are indeed worthy of being the number one on the Heavenly Ranking. Not to mention the Heavenly Ranking of our Federation, even if we add the Heavenly Rankings of Black Gold and Griffin, you are undoubtedly the number one."

There is always someone stronger than you, and there is always someone better than you.

Ji Fuyou sighed, “Our Red Star has a population of tens of billions, and no one knows what kind of peerless masters are hidden in certain places!” He glanced at Fang Qiyun, “Like Red Star’s first spiritual saint… In fact, a long time ago, Gu Qing had already broken through to the realm of spiritual saint, but he was too low-key, so this matter was not known to outsiders.”

"Gu Qing has broken through to the Spiritual Saint realm?"

"That Master Gu actually..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Kaitai, Liu Yiren, Xiao Hanxue, and the others all showed expressions of surprise.

After his initial surprise, Yang Kaitai whispered, "That's right. Master Gu is the first spiritual master in our Federation. If you count the time, it's been three years since he took this step. In those three years, one spiritual master after another has emerged, and many of them have already stood on the threshold of spiritual sainthood. He can't possibly still be standing still."

Ji Fuyou nodded: "There are many geniuses like this. I remember there was also Chen Yunye, who quietly broke through to the Martial Saint realm, and Lin Lun of the Black Gold Empire. In less than a year since the end of the Civilization Trial, his cultivation has broken through one after another. Who can be sure what level he has reached now? The Griffin Republic is the same! That country likes to keep a low profile the most. No one knows what real trump cards they are hiding."

These words quickly calmed them down.

For the major merchants, the Black Gold Empire was somewhat better.

Their strengths and weaknesses are visible and tangible.

The Republic of the Griffins...

That means hiding it if you can.

Just like back then, no one expected that they would suddenly rise up and instantly bring down the United States of the North, the world's hegemon, and almost crush this world hegemon from decades ago on the spot.

Even now, the Griffin Republic's overall strength has expanded to an unimaginable level.

Its industry and technology are unmatched even by major merchants.

If we had to rank the four poles of the world, the griffin would probably be the undisputed number one.

The remaining three kingdoms should be ranked as follows: Great Shang, Black Gold, and Northern Kingdom.

"So, forget about being number one on the Heavenly Ranking."

Ji Fuyou waved his hand.

"clear."

Fang Qiyun nodded: "Master Gu has accumulated a high reputation in the Federation by relying on his mental power combat techniques. Captain, you can also become a teacher of all martial artists by teaching and popularizing the six major forces."

She quickly said, "Perfect timing. After a period of preparation, Chuzhou's No. 1 Martial Arts University will be opening in a month. The first batch of students with outstanding talent in martial arts will soon be entering the school. As the principal, you will need to attend the entrance ceremony."

"can."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

He naturally wouldn't refuse this.

“The quantity of Source Crystals is limited and cannot be supplied to everyone. However, as time goes by, the erosion of Crimson Star by the mist will become more and more severe. One day, the entire Crimson Star will be affected by the mist. In order to avoid this worst-case scenario, the best way is to have everyone practice strength training and martial arts.”

Ji Fuyou said, "If everyone could have a physique of 15 or even 20 points or more, and master the use of Dan Jin, Gang Jin, and even Shen Jin, then even if they coexisted with the mist, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, in the short term, the monsters in the mist are mainly of low to mid-level, and places like the Yindu Ruins and the Death Rift Valley are rare."

Fang Qiyun solemnly agreed: "I will convey your suggestion to Minister Li Ao. Our next focus will be to promote martial arts education for all citizens. From now on, there will be no more distinction between arts and sciences, only martial arts and sciences."

"can."

Ji Fuyou Road.

At this moment, Yang Kaitai suddenly said, "Captain, the four countries recently promoted the standard for the thirteenth level of cultivation. According to you, they have ulterior motives in promoting this standard, and it may even... lead to a further deepening of the karmic entanglement between us and the Demon Suppression Valley civilization. So, should we ban this standard in our country and have you, Captain, set a new standard?"

Ji Fuyou pondered for a moment, but in the end, he shook his head.

"Fine, we can ban the Federation's standard, but the other three countries are too far away to enforce it."

He said, "Besides, the next step for the Great Shang is to move towards the international stage, and it is impossible for them to confront these three countries in the short term."

Yang Kaitai felt somewhat regretful upon hearing this.

But at this moment, Ji Fuyou spoke again: "However, although we cannot control the promotion of the thirteenth level of martial arts, we can redefine the cultivation standards for spiritual energy users."

He chuckled softly: "Due to its unique nature, the true trump card of the Demon Suppression Valley lies in the spiritual path; this is where the real entanglement of cause and effect lies."

"A psychic?"

Yang Kaitai's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "As the first spiritual saint in the history of Red Star, Captain is the perfect person to formulate the spiritual ability system."

"In my newly established standards, I plan to divide mental ability users into nine levels: ordinary and nine levels: master! A total of eighteen levels!"
