“Great Cephalus, I am guilty. The tyrant has extinguished your light, and your most devout followers could not stop it.”
Please allow me to follow you in death. Let my life bear witness to the tyrant's cruelty to the world; posterity will judge!
Lin Yuan listened calmly as she finished speaking.
“Your crimes are too numerous to count, and you naturally need to be tried.” He smiled slightly.
"Therefore, I will hand you over to Lady Aglaia. She will expose all your crimes to the world."
Before the words were even finished, Katniss and the others' pupils shrank, their faces filled with horror, and the color drained from their faces.
"No, you can't hand us over to that witch!"
"Please, don't let her deal with us!"
"Kill me! Kill me now!"
When an elder tried to bang his head on the ground, Lin Yuan's eyes flickered, and the man froze in place, unable to move an inch.
"Tyrant, you tyrant!"
One of the elders seemed unable to bear it and suddenly stood up, pointing at Lin Yuan and cursing angrily.
It was the same guy who said he wouldn't vote even if he jumped off Dawn Cliff.
Lin Yuan gestured with interest. Wan Di stepped forward, grabbed the elder by the collar, and with a gentle pull, performed a flying acrobatic feat for the elders.
However, Lin Yuan saw a look of relief in the eyes of this elder.
The next moment, the eyes of the other elders lit up. They rushed to their feet, ready to unleash a torrent of abuse.
"You'd rather die than fall into Aglaia's hands? You guys always manage to come up with something new."
Lin Yuan raised a finger, and the entire audience fell silent instantly.
With a flick of his right hand, he pulled the elder who was in freefall back into the air.
Then Lin Yuan spoke earnestly to the audience:
“I am a good man, how can I allow life to pass away like this? Besides, once order is restored in Ohm, its commerce will flourish again.”
As the governor, I cannot allow air travel to disrupt the stability of Ohmma's housing prices, right?
Everyone: "........."
The rescued elder exclaimed, "You devil! You're a devil!"
"Alright." Lin Yuan waved his hand. "Wan Di, take these elders away and hand them over to Aglaia."
"Yes!"
As the elite troops advanced, the once-honored elders were dragged away like dead dogs. Fear awaited them.
"Alright, stop looking." Lin Yuan glanced at the remaining elders.
"The voting is over. According to the results, the era of the Senate ends today. Everyone, go home."
"What?!" The remaining elders finally realized that their power had also been stripped away.
"Your Majesty, you didn't say this would happen before the vote!"
"Yes, I asked you to vote, and you all voted. As for what you voted for, that's up to me."
Lin Yuan spoke with righteous indignation.
"you--"
An elderly elder rose shakily, stopping the speaker. He looked at Lin Yuan, his voice aged yet steady:
"Your Excellency, after great chaos comes great order. To stabilize the political situation in Ohma, we... are willing to continue serving you."
“You’re right,” Lin Yuan said casually. “Ohmah needs a stronger government to provide asylum. But it certainly won’t be you….”
Lin Yuan's voice suddenly became loud and clear, echoing throughout Ohmma from Dawn Cloud Cliff:
"In the name of the Consul: I appoint the Spear of Divine Retribution, the Demigod of Strife and Ten Thousand Enemies, as the Great General to guard the city and protect its citizens!"
"Yes!" Wan Di stepped forward, clasped his hands in a deep fist salute, and accepted the order.
"In the name of the Archon: Appoint Anaxagoras, the rational philosopher of the Divided Branch, as a great scholar, responsible for the full development of alchemical technology and its integration for civilian use!"
"Interesting." Xia smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
"In the name of the Consul: Appoint Aglaia, the Golden Cocoon and Romantic Demigod, as the Grand Councilor, in charge of all affairs, and responsible for trying guilty elders and making the results public!"
Aglaia: ...Actually, I was initially reluctant, but after hearing the rest, I accepted it for Ohma's sake.
"In the name of the Consul: I appoint Cephalia, the Flying Coin and the Demigoddess of Deception, as the Secretary-General of the Council of State, to assist the Grand Councilor in handling affairs on a daily basis!"
Saifeier: "!? Meow?! (=?ω?=)"
Next, Lin Yuan read out the appointments of the Golden Descendants one by one: including Ti Bao's three sons in charge of education and transportation, Feng Jin in charge of health and environmental protection, and Xia Die as the chief scribe, responsible for compiling and recording history.
Xia Die: "I...I can't compile."
Only Bai E was assigned to Dawn Cloud Cliff as a security captain, euphemistically called the Commander of the Imperial Guard.
Lin Yuan knew that, in any case, Hei E would eventually choose to hand over his own fire and memories to Bai E, so he could simply wait here for him to come to him.
"From this day forward, whether it be me, a demigod, or a member of the Golden Clan, the power of the gods will fight for the survival of Ohma—"
Lin Yuan's voice resounded throughout the surrounding area, echoing throughout the entire holy city:
"People of Ohm, welcome the new era!"
Beneath the magnificent purple-gold sky, cheers soon rose like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, resounding continuously.
Lin Yuan stood on the high platform, full of vigor and ambition.
"This is the age when God is used by men!"
.............
Chapter 468 The Road to Height
[After that day, Ohma quickly entered a new era. The elders of the old era peacefully relinquished their power, and the Golden Blood stepped forward to protect all living beings under the leadership of His Majesty the Regent.]
The bright sun shines high over the world, and the authority of the gods is used by mankind. This great era should be called the Yellow and Purple Era by posterity.
"stop!"
Lin Yuan suddenly frowned and looked at Xia Die, the chief clerk who was repeating the notes to the side.
"What 'Yellow and Purple Era'? Who came up with that name? It has to be changed!"
Xia Die's pointed ears twitched, and she quickly explained:
“Your Majesty, I heard it from others. Perhaps it is because of the brilliance of the sun in the sky that everyone in Ohmma says so.”
"Don't say that, don't say that, I'm going to sue the consul."
Lin Yuan seemed utterly despondent, but then he changed the subject, emphasizing with righteous indignation:
"Remember, the rays of the sun in the sky are purple-gold, purple-gold!"
"oh oh."
Xia Die quickly opened her notebook and scribbled down notes.
Lin Yuan peeked out and saw that she had written meticulously:
"The great leader and ruler said that yellowish-purple should be called purple-gold."
"Hey--"
With a sigh, Lin Yuan covered his face, looked at the pretty face so close to his, and said earnestly:
"Promise me, Butterfly, you won't make up any more unofficial histories, okay?"
Xia Die: Nodding obediently.jpg
"Sir, Teacher Xia has arrived again at that moment."
Suddenly, Bai E's voice came from outside the arena. The two looked up in the direction of the voice and saw the blasphemous scholar striding into the arena.
“Your Excellency the Consul.” Na Kexia’s expression was stern. “I have come to file a complaint.”
"Telling a story...don't tell me it's about Aglaia again."
“Indeed, that woman took advantage of my inattention and drove my precious research subject out of the Marble Palace again, which has caused considerable trouble for my research work. This project was personally approved by you.”
"A research project? It seems like there is such a thing..."
Lin Yuan thought back for a moment. Since he ascended the throne, the Golden Descendants had each performed their duties.
Under the blazing sun, the threat of the Black Tide to Ohma temporarily receded, and the scattered monsters and fire-stealing walkers were engaged in their own squabbles. With the demigods personally patrolling, the area was quite peaceful.
At his request, Naksha shifted the focus of alchemy from the Tree Garden era to the civilian sector of Ohma, and within a short period of time, he produced many alchemical creations, which were very popular among the citizens.
Thanks to this achievement, Xia applied for a secluded place to conduct personal research, which was somewhere in Yunshi Tiangong. Lin Yuan readily agreed at the time.
"What were you researching again?"
"The subject of Ceres's authority over life."
"Not bad." Lin Yuan said with respect. "Then what are your valuable research materials?"
"Earth Beast".
“…Then it’s not surprising.” Lin Yuan’s expression was somewhat complicated.
"How about... you come and do your research at my Dawn Cloud Cliff?"
"No need. Since you can't order that woman around, I'll figure something out myself." Xia's expression remained unchanged at that moment.
"Goodbye."
Watching the retreating figure of that rational philosopher, Lin Yuan looked at Xia Die with a helpless expression: "How many times have these two had a fight lately?"
Xia Die flipped through her notebook: "This is the third time. The previous times..."
"No need to read it aloud, I can read it myself."
Lin Yuan waved his hand, and the notebook flew into his palm.
Xia Die was horrified upon seeing this: "No—"
