395: Sweep across the eight states and bring peace to the world.

“What’s the public opinion like now?”

In the Tianji Pavilion, Si Zhenfeng asked an official.

“Reporting to Saint Si, the sensational articles from foreign media have already been written, but they are not visible domestically for now.”

Si Zhenfeng shook his head: “I don’t care what they say; I care about the domestic situation.”

“Currently, no one dares to comment on the current situation, but we have intercepted communications from collaborators and foreign forces. They are ready to stir up trouble.”

“I knew it.”

Si Zhenfeng’s expression turned stern: “Identify those people. As soon as they publish any slanderous or distorting remarks, arrest them immediately.”

The official was startled and asked, “Saint Si, should we collect evidence, like transaction records?”

Si Zhenfeng shook his head and sneered: “Evidence is for arresting criminals. What we are doing now is arresting traitors; they are rioters who severely endanger national security.”

“Understood.” The official bowed.

After a moment of silence, Si Zhenfeng said: “If public opinion is fine, then release it. The sun always rises.”

“Yes!”

The official responded, taking out another sound transmission talisman: “Notify all units to release the information on time. At the same time, all camera positions prepare to capture the moments of the Tianji Pavilion’s flag lowering and raising, broadcast live nationwide and across the entire internet!”

【07:59】

An announcement was posted on the Tianji Pavilion’s official website.

【To all compatriots nationwide and overseas Chinese:】

【By resolution of the Supreme Conference—】

【The Jiuzhou Federation Provisional Government is officially dissolved.】

【The Jiuzhou land is renamed Shenzhou, and an imperial state, the Shenzhou Empire, is established.】

【The former Jiuzhou government is reorganized into the Shenzhou Six Ministries Cabinet, retaining the Sage seats.】

【The autonomous powers of Yunzhou, Lizhou, Yuezhou, Tianzhou, Chuanzhou, Yangzhou, Youzhou, and Changzhou, eight states, are all revoked and placed under the management of the Six Ministries Cabinet.】

【The hereditary privileges of the Eight Great Families are revoked, their land is reclaimed, and their independent military power is reclaimed.】

【By nomination of the Six Ministries Cabinet, the former Sixth Sage Qin Yang ascends to the imperial throne, becoming the Supreme Ruler of Shenzhou.】

【Imperial Title: Supreme Divine Emperor.】

【Thus, the Jiuzhou civil war ends, unified under Shenzhou.】

【May the Divine Emperor live for ten thousand years, and Shenzhou for ten thousand years.】

...News like a nuclear bomb was quietly released.

National television, radio, and internet live broadcasts were simultaneously pushed.

In the news footage.

The Federation flag at the top of the Tianji Pavilion slowly lowered.

At the same time, a new flag rose.

At the moment the two flags alternated and parted.

The rising sun in the east just emerged from the morning glow, radiating dazzling light.

Since it was in the morning, only a small number of people noticed this news, but the Jiuzhou land still stirred.

No.

It was Shenzhou now.

In the bustling morning tea shop, there was a moment of silence.

Everyone was either looking at the official website information or watching the live internet broadcast, all remaining silent.

Their feeling right now was sudden.

It was simply too sudden.

To halt the civil war, the Jiuzhou Federation had existed for nearly a hundred years.

Today, while having morning tea, it just dissolved?

Moreover, the name of the entire country had changed!

Shenzhou!

This name was a bit domineering.

In this world, which Human Race dared to call themselves a deity?

Qin Yang dared!

He really dared!

Everyone originally thought he was going to be the number one figure in the Federation, to continue to deal with the Eight Great Families, and gradually dismantle them.

As a result, there was no such process.

In the morning tea shop, everyone looked at each other, their scalps tingling.

Sweeping across the eight states, bringing peace to the world.

This achievement was indeed enough to become an emperor.

It just came too suddenly.

Not to mention the original Jiuzhou people.

Even those foreigners, seeing the official announcement, felt incredible.

Good heavens... It felt like an Empire had descended from the sky and crushed the original Jiuzhou.

For a time, everyone wondered what had happened these past two days.

Why had the world changed so quickly?

But soon, their questions would be answered.

The internet blockade was lifted.

The capital residents who had experienced the Battle of Shangjing City were like people released from prison, cackling and posting wildly.

Blood Battle at the National Gate, collective frenzy.

Surfing in the Undead Sea, pulling teeth from the mouth of a Bone Dragon.

Holy Knights providing aid, Mechanical Titans brawling.

The Void Zerg descended, and the Supreme Divine Emperor ascended to Emperor in one step.

All sorts of famous battle scenes flooded before the eyes of the censors.

He couldn't even review them all.

He just turned around and asked: “Leader, is this something I’m allowed to see?”

Leader: “Saint Si personally inquired and said to just pay attention to the Divine Emperor’s image. Angles that aren’t good, or expressions that aren’t good, shouldn’t be posted.”

Platform review was given a green light all the way, and famous scenes appeared before the eyes of people all over the world.

It turned out, not long ago.

At that dawn when everyone was sleeping peacefully at home, staying up all night at internet cafes, or getting drunk in bars.

Shangjing City fought a battle worthy of being written into myths.

Three Great Calamities emerged, and the Child Ten Commandments emerged.

In any other country, that would have been a crisis of national annihilation.

It would even affect neighboring countries.

However, Shangjing City, a single city, held its ground.

All invading enemies were annihilated; not a single one was allowed to escape alive.

When had the Jiuzhou people ever fought such a smooth battle?

No.

It was against those calamities.

When had the Human Race ever fought such a smooth battle?

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

Only two phrases remained in the entire world: WTF and 'Wocao'.

Under this shock, only the high-ranking officials of various countries could still act rationally.

Almost at the same time, large-scale troop movements appeared around the new Empire.

Troops stationed on the southwestern border retreated like a tide.

In the southeastern sea area, not a single warship could be seen.

Countries worldwide responded to the birth of the Shenzhou Empire with honest reactions.

Of course, online, they still had to be stubborn and use Yin and Yang language.

【Free Federation Daily: The chaotic civil war has ended, but an era of imperial dictatorship has arrived. Perhaps, freedom will never again descend upon the Eastern world.】

【Peacock Dynasty: Hello, new neighbor. Please restrain your temper and do not provoke us.】

【Lionheart Empire: The Holy Light descends upon the East. We hope the new Empire will not fall into darkness again.】

【Big Stick Empire: No matter who dominates that land, we will reclaim our homeland.】

The words were spoken beautifully, as if full of defiance.

And after the official statements from various countries, those 'beasts' remotely cultivated began to work.

“The country is stronger, but civilization is drifting further away.”

“Long unity leads to division, long division leads to unity. Imperial rule is useless, honestly.”

“Qin Yang ascends the throne and becomes Emperor. Does it affect your 3000 yuan salary?”

On the internet, well-dressed, respectable intellectuals began to express their concerns about the future.

Meanwhile, Si Zhenfeng at the information aggregation center was worried about whether there would be enough prisons.
