Chapter 150: The Elders From The Old Governement
As this Announcement rang throughout the world, everyone was a little surprised but did not have the same reaction as they did when this happened to the Xu family.
This is because the many announcements from the Xu family had already numbed them to this, so they were not surprised by the announcement. However, when they read it, they were surprised that it was for a different family.
All of this happened six months after Xu Qianghua met Lin Yue and An Zhihao, so the Chen family had six months of development time.
During this time, they were able to expand their influence to three cities, which shocked everyone in the Eastern Continent.
"How is this possible? It's only been three months, and they have already taken control of three cities," a guy said in a tavern as he listened to a bard talk about this.
"I know, right? When I first heard this, I was also shocked, but with many people conforming to this, we will have to accept this fact," a girl said as she sighed.
"Yeah, but the Xu family took over each of the cities while the Chen family only came in as a business family occupying the markets in the city," another guy said.
"Yeah," the first guy nodded.
"Anyway, no one can stop either of the families from expanding, and with both of them being in different continents, the chances of conflict are low in the early stages," the girl said.
Similar conversations were happening all around the world, and soon came the third and the fourth families.
In this single year, everyone has slowly adapted to the new change and has slowly started to live this new life while letting go of the old one.
Meanwhile, in a city in the Southern Continent.
The Elders who have been the core of the Central Government have finally reunited, and each of them looks much younger than they did before.
This is due to their cultivating, which has made their lifespans increase.
Their arrival itself is a change in the original timeline as in the last timeline, all the elders were divided into the five continents, and they did not have anyone to take care of them, which led them to die early.
But now, they were able to meet and cultivate the Peak Foundation realm, which is a huge deviation from the timeline.
And now they have their own families set up in different areas of this continent with all of their family members together.
Today, they are mainly here to discuss whether they should bring back the government or not, and if they do, do they do it by themselves, or should they invite the top families?
This is because they know that in this world, strength is king, so if they try to control or make them follow the rules of the past, these powerful cultivators would kill all of them without batting an eye.
So they had to be careful with their choices, as any wrong move could destroy everything they had worked hard for.
"What do you guys think?" the oldest elder asked.
"Well, I think it would be best for us to create our Empire and set up a government like the one we had before. If some of the people from the old world want to return to how it was, they could," a younger elder replied.
"Is there no other way?" the oldest elder asked.
"No, first, we have no money or authority to create a government. Second, if we try to bring back the old government, we will need to be the strongest or have the support of the strongest family, which will ruin the government's reputation if spread," he said.
"Yeah, that's true, but I don't think the top families will allow that, so I think building our own Empire is the best way," another elder said.
"Okay, but do you want to set it up here or on a different continent?" the oldest elder asked, sighing.
He said this because the spiritual Qi in this continent is not as high as that of other continents.
This is because this continent hides a special sealing formation that needs a massive amount of spiritual Qi to run.
But that is for later, as right now, the Elders are coming up with places where they can set up their Empire, and the rules would be similar to those of the Old World.
However, they will need to change some of the rules, such as polygamy laws and other laws that might seem weird in the modern world but are widely accepted in the cultivation world.
And in the end, after hours of discussion, they finally decided on a place in the Western Continent.
As this continent is the closest to the HQ in the old world, it will be easier for the people to adjust.
As for the Central Continent, it never crossed their minds, as they did not want to be on the same continent as the Xu family, who, from the looks of it, might completely control the Continent in a few hundred years or so.
"Then it's settled. We will set up the government here," the oldest elder said, followed by cheers and happiness.
However, some other elders were not happy, as they knew that these plans would ruin any conspiracy they might have.
Although the Empire is there, it is not in a place of great importance, as that place is the Central Continent.
But they did not say anything as that would be bad for them, as that would show that they have something bad going on in their minds, which would cause more damage than needed.
And after the discussions, all the elders slowly left and went towards the city they first entered, as most of the family members were in the same city.
They plan to go to the Central City of this continent and see if the city is still unowned or not.If it is unowned, they will try to conquer it.
If possible, they will leave someone to take care of this city while they move to the Western Continent.
