“All elders and devotees have the right to vote.”

"This election must be held every five years. During this period, if a certain deity or elder is unable to perform his duties, an internal vote can be held to remove him from office."

"Gentlemen, we can share the world."

After Gu Han finished speaking, he looked around and saw that all the retainers and elders were interested. Among them, the Golden Bell Douluo had a greedy look in his eyes, a desire for the throne.

Gu Han could naturally see the loopholes in the election system he proposed. If this continued, it would inevitably lead to the formation of one behemoth after another, just like the powerful clans that existed from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty.

However, this world is different because of the existence of the God Realm. Gods can live forever, and as long as they live, the Martial Soul Empire will not become an empire dominated by powerful clans.

Moreover, thinking about these things is too far ahead. What they are addressing now is the current historical problem. As for the loopholes left behind, we should choose to trust future generations.

Heroes are as numerous as fish crossing a river, and imperial power is no longer the power of a single family. In the future, even greater figures will inevitably emerge to resolve the hidden dangers sown today.

"Everyone, let's vote."

Qian Xunji's resonant voice echoed throughout the hall. If it were to be said which family would benefit the most from this election system, it would naturally be the Qian family.

The Hall of Offerings and the Hall of Elders are preserved, and the Qian family holds a transcendent status. Elections can also be held. With the strength of the six-winged angels, as long as their descendants cultivate diligently, obtaining the throne would be a very easy thing.

In other words, although the election appears to be fair internally, the most qualified party is actually the Qian family. There may be some who are not fond of power, and the throne may fall into the hands of others, but the Qian family can take it back at any time if they want.

As for whether anyone would be so audacious as to attempt to assassinate his thousands of descendants?

Qian Xunji could only sneer. His daughter had the potential to become a god, and the future was in the heavens. Who would dare to kill anyone from the Qian family? Besides, with the Angelic Martial Soul, as long as one cultivated properly, one could start at level ninety-five, with a long lifespan, protecting the path of each generation. Who would dare to kill her? Who could kill her?

Almost everyone raised their hands in unison, agreeing to the proposal.

"Now, elders, let's begin the selection process for the first emperor of the empire."

"Let me make this clear first, you don't need to choose me."

Qian Xunji gave everyone a heads-up in advance: he was now retired as the High Priest of the Angel God, and he would get angry if anyone tried to drag him out again.

Therefore, the elders and retainers turned their attention to Gu Han and Bibi Dong. These two were the actual rulers of the Spirit Hall, one being the Pope and the other the Judgement Elder.

The entire Spirit Empire today can be said to have been conquered by the Judgement Elders, making it the best choice.

However, the current Pope is Bibidon, and should be considered the first emperor.

As a result, the elders and devotees were in a dilemma and hesitated to vote.

"For this first election, let the Grand Elder vote first." Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Qian Xunji, indicating that these two are your disciples, so you should make the choice.

“Master, let my junior brother do it. I haven’t done anything much these past few years.”

Bibi Dong spoke first. To be honest, even when she was the Pope, let alone the emperor, she never wanted to do anything. Her junior brother managed all the affairs of the Spirit Hall.

Rather than that, it would be better to let her junior brother go up.

"In that case, the Elder of Judgment shall serve as the Emperor of the Spirit Empire, while the position of Pope shall be retained."

Qian Xunji made a decision, but in general, he still had some selfish motives. He wanted to retain the position of Pope in order to check the future emperor.

“I agree, but the future Pope must be a person with the martial soul of a six-winged angel.”

Gu Han took the lead in stating his position: the Pope could be retained, but the future must be led by the Angel lineage. In this way, the core of the Spirit Hall, namely the suppression of evil, would not be deviated from, and the Qian family's transcendent status in the Spirit Empire could be truly ensured.

"I agree."

Bibi Dong and Golden Crocodile Douluo raised their hands at the same time.

"In that case, after Dong'er becomes a god, the Pope will be a member of the angelic lineage."

"Uh, High Priest, Xue'er has already been confirmed as a god, and you only have Xue'er as your bloodline, so..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo raised an eyebrow and began to urge them to have children. Although the Six-Winged Angel lineage is always passed down through a single heir, there are always exceptions, such as twins.

Given the current situation, Xue'er is destined to become a god in the future, and no one is worthy of her. Therefore, in order to ensure that the position of Pope is not vacant in the future, Qian Xunji and Ling Yuan have to have another child.

"Ahem, I know what I'm doing." Qian Xunji coughed awkwardly.

Ling Yuan, standing to one side, did not show any shyness. Instead, she smiled and said, "It just so happens that Xue'er has always wanted a younger brother or sister. This is a good opportunity to have another one so that the bloodline of the six-winged angels can continue."

"Well, that makes sense."

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded seriously.

Qian Xunji waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's leave it at that. Gu Han, you will serve as the first emperor at the founding ceremony. All the retainers and elders must be present. In addition, all forces except the Holy Church and the Star Luo Empire will be invited to come to Wuhun City to witness the ceremony."

Chapter 338 Major Forces Gather in Wuhun City

"This day has finally come."

Ning Fengzhi looked at the invitation in his hand, gazed up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his eyes filled with emotion.

Then he looked at the two Guardian Douluos who were standing beside him.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, you're coming with me this time."

"Feng Zhi, what if the sect..."

"Uncle Bone, the founding of the Spirit Empire is an extremely important day, and our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School must give it the utmost respect."

"As for what you're worried about, Uncle Bone, there's no need to worry. On the continent today, especially within the Spirit Empire, which we are currently in, no other force dares to take action except the Empire itself. The Spirit Empire has no reason to attack us, so there's no need for extra precautions. This time, we should give the Spirit Empire a clear and open attitude."

"One, an attitude of loyalty to the empire."

"Uh, never mind, you're the sect leader, you're in charge." After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Bone Douluo waved his hand, indicating that you're the boss and you're in charge.

"The ceremony is on January 1st next year, which is two months away. Before that, Uncle Jian, you and I will go to Wuhun City to meet Gu Han."

"Some things are better done sooner rather than later; if we wait too long, it may be too late for us."

A glint of light flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. This empire had just been established, and everything was in need of rebuilding. There were many opportunities. His Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was already a powerful force. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to dominate commerce, that is, people's most basic needs such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation, any one of these would be enough to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School extremely powerful.

In fact, it wasn't just Ning Fengzhi; the four lower sects, along with some slightly weaker first-class sects and families, shared the same idea. After receiving the invitation, they immediately rushed to Wuhun City, fearing that if they arrived late, they wouldn't get any benefits.

Of course, some came eagerly, while others were invited by Gu Han.

For example, Ye Renxin spent a lot of effort inviting this person to Wuhun City. His purpose was simple: he wanted to make him a leading figure in the medical field of the Wuhun Empire, the kind with a license.

Although Chrysanthemum Douluo and Poison Douluo, who often hangs out with Chrysanthemum Douluo, are also masters in the herbal medicine industry, in terms of medical skills, they are still far inferior to Ye Renxin, a master of medicine for generations who has spent his entire life practicing medicine across the continent.

This is also why Gu Han insisted on inviting Ye Renxin. At that time, Ye Renxin refused to join the Spirit Hall, but now the Spirit Hall has become the Spirit Empire, and the situation is completely different. Ye Renxin can rely on the power of the empire to save more people. Given Ye Renxin's character, he would naturally not refuse again.

The fact that the other party accepted Gu Han's invitation shows that half of the matter is already done. The other half is the issue of treatment and conditions. Once the agreement is reached, this healer with the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul will be won over.

The Haotian Sect has retired, but Gu Han gave Tang Yuehua two invitations: one was a separate invitation to Tang Yuehua, the master of Yuexuan, and the other was from the Haotian Sect.

However, since the Haotian Sect had already decided to close its mountain, it naturally would no longer participate in these matters. However, Tang Yuehua, the representative who was responsible for supporting the Haotian Sect while traveling outside, accepted the invitation.

At this moment, in a reception hall specially prepared by the Spirit Hall, representatives of various forces had already taken their seats.

Ning Fengzhi was the last to enter, and as soon as he entered, he became the focus of the entire audience.

"Haha, Sect Leader Ning, it's been a long time."

The leaders of the four lower sects and a group of first-class families came forward to greet Ning Fengzhi.

Of the three upper sects, only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School remains strong; the other two are no longer worthy of their names. Therefore, Ning Fengzhi's status in the Soul Master world has naturally risen accordingly.

Especially the two Guardian Douluos following behind them, both of whom were at the peak of their righteousness, and neither of them was willing to disrespect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Haha, you all still look as dashing as ever."

Ning Fengzhi smiled elegantly and greeted everyone one by one. The two Douluo behind him, Jian and Gu, also nodded slightly as a greeting.

Ning Fengzhi felt as if he were bathed in a spring breeze, his mood light and airy. He looked at Tang Yuehua and said with a smile, "Master Yuexuan has also arrived."

"Hmm, I didn't expect Sect Master Ning to bring both of you with him."

Tang Yuehua was somewhat surprised. Usually, when Ning Fengzhi went out, he would only bring one elder with him, while the other would stay in the sect to prevent any unforeseen events.

Unexpectedly, they brought it all out this time.

"Haha, now that my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is located in the core of the Spirit Empire's territory, given the Spirit Empire's level of security, I naturally feel at ease bringing Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone along."

While responding to Tang Yuehua, Ning Fengzhi didn't forget to flatter the Spirit Empire. Although their people hadn't arrived yet, flattery from behind was more effective than flattery from the front.

"Haha, everyone's here."

A hearty laugh rang out, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound. They saw Gu Han leading Elders Ju and Gui from the entrance of the main hall.

"Haha, His Majesty has arrived."

Ning Fengzhi stepped forward, his tone slightly teasing.

Although the Martial Soul Empire had not yet held its founding ceremony, Gu Han's identity was not a secret.

"Brother Fengzhi is joking. Even if I ascend the throne, you will still be my elder brother, Gu Han."

Gu Han smiled and shook hands with Ning Fengzhi, then greeted the four lower sects and Tang Yuehua before walking to his seat and gesturing with his hand.

"Please sit down, everyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone took their seats.

Seeing that everyone had sat down, Gu Han then spoke: "Everyone here is an elite in the Martial Soul world. The future development of the Martial Soul Empire will also depend on you all."

Upon hearing this, the group of Soul Master representatives immediately showed joy, which meant that they could gain benefits within the Spirit Empire and occupy relatively key industries.

"What can Brother Gu do for us?"

Ning Fengzhi sat in the center of the guests, his eyes deep and focused. As the largest power in the former Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School possessed an immense amount of imperial resources. He knew that the next question would concern whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could preserve its assets, how much of them it could preserve, and what it could gain afterward.

This is crucial, and it's something he absolutely needs to know.

Gu Han took a deep breath and looked directly into Ning Fengzhi's eyes.

"There is indeed something that requires the cooperation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but it would be better if we discussed this matter separately later."

Gu Han wasn't falling for Ning Fengzhi's trap. In this situation, it wasn't appropriate to discuss things the other party wanted to know.

"it is good."

Ning Fengzhi didn't continue speaking, nodded, and said no more.

Chapter 339 Tianxia Pavilion, Establishing Rules

"Gentlemen, during the reign of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Soul Master community, especially the Heaven Dou Soul Master community, was not bound by the empire and often formed its own faction, seriously disrupting the empire's order. The people of the Soul Master community also had to sleep with swords under their pillows every day. I can assure you that this situation will never happen again during the reign of the Spirit Empire."

"Of course, these things also require the help of the elites of the Soul Master world to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
