1198: I have no interest in power!

In the room.

Zhang Dingguo listened to Wang Chen's question, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "Redivide the administrative regions on the former Eagle Country's territory, scatter and re-settle the population, and station troops there."

"Maintain this for a few decades, and time will slowly dilute everything."

"Old Zhang makes a good point."

Wang Chen nodded, but then said in a relaxed tone, "However, that's too troublesome and requires a lot of manpower and resources."

"I have a more permanent solution."

Zhang Dingguo was a little surprised to hear this. Looking at the confident Wang Chen, he couldn't help but say, "I'd like to hear the details."

"It's very simple."

"Currently, Blue Star already has several Auxiliary Worlds, especially the First Auxiliary World, which was seized from the Bloodline. It is now vast and sparsely populated. The people of the former Eagle Country can all be relocated there to develop the First Auxiliary World."

Wang Chen said indifferently, "The resources there are extremely abundant. I believe they will definitely be able to create greater value there."

"Look at the millions of troops from the Bear Country; they're developing quite well over there!"

"This..."

Zhang Dingguo was stunned by the words. After a moment, he said with some concern, "The First Auxiliary World has not yet been thoroughly surveyed, and its scope is no smaller than Blue Star itself. Putting them there might cause even greater trouble."

"Old Zhang, there's no need to worry."

Wang Chen shook his head, his expression calm as he said, "When they leave Blue Star and enter the First Auxiliary World, I will directly and permanently strip them of their future Awakener qualifications. Even if they return to Blue Star, the Awakener Dao will no longer be open to them."

"This way, no matter how much they stir things up in the First Auxiliary World, they will still be creating value for us."

At this point, a sharp glint flashed in Wang Chen's eyes.

He knew very well that doing this was equivalent to cutting off the future of the former Eagle Country's people, blocking their upward Dao.

But it didn't matter; he didn't care!

"This..."

After hearing Wang Chen's words, Zhang Dingguo's eyes widened in shock.

He never expected that Wang Chen was now so strong!

To be able to cut off the Awakener path for hundreds of millions of people was simply unimaginable!

However...

Zhang Dingguo had no objection to Wang Chen's decision.

Being able to resolve it once and for all without future troubles was indeed the optimal solution for Blue Star now, and it would save a lot of internal friction.

After Wang Chen finished speaking about the solution for the Eagle Country's people, he suddenly remembered something else.

"Old Zhang, the trouble in the Serpent People World has been completely resolved, and Blue Star's Origin power is gradually taking over the entire world."

"Next, please arrange for a portion of the army to enter the Serpent People World. I left a large number of low-level demonic beasts there, which can be used for the soldiers to level up."

"Cultivate a group of Six-Turn and Seven-Turn Professionals in the shortest time possible. Then, they will be stationed in various parts of the Republic to maintain stability."

Looking at Zhang Dingguo, Wang Chen expressed his long-held idea.

Now that all countries on Blue Star have submitted applications to join the Blue Star Republic, the first priority is to re-divide the administrative regions.

Wang Chen planned to directly break up the national regions, divide them into provinces, cities, and counties according to the current standards of Dragon Country, and divide the entire Blue Star into five large administrative regions above the provincial level and two monster management regions, based on the original continental plates.

The former needs no further mention; the latter's locations are mainly the Arctic and the Oceanic continent, which fell when the will of the heavens revived and were later recovered.

And these newly divided administrative regions must ensure sufficient strength for garrisoning.

...

Time flew by, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, the founding ceremony of the Blue Star Republic was held discreetly in the former capital of Dragon Country, now the Divine Capital of the Blue Star Republic.

There was no grand ceremony, only a simple press conference for the entire Blue Star.

After all, Wang Chen's feat of annihilating the entire military force of the former Eagle Country on the ocean, demonstrating terrifying strength that surpassed the entire world, was more shocking than any ceremony.

Nothing else was needed; just the name Wang Chen was enough to intimidate everything!

In the newly built Republic Headquarters building in the Divine Capital, at the press conference hall.

The hall was packed, everyone sitting upright, their faces filled with shock and nervousness.

Most of the people who came here were former high-ranking officials and leaders of various countries on Blue Star. After this press conference, the vast majority of them would take on titles such as mayor, county magistrate, or provincial governor and assume their new posts.

Therefore, for the opportunity to personally see the de facto number one person on Blue Star, the first executive officer of the Republic, the supreme superior of everyone's superiors...

Everyone was feeling very apprehensive.

Creak!

The door of the press conference hall was pushed open, and a team of Awakeners exuding powerful Auras entered, quickly taking positions along both sides of the aisle.

Each of these Awakeners had an Aura that had reached the tenth stage. In the past Blue Star, they would have been revered as patriarchs and worshipped as gods in various countries.

But now, they stood meticulously along the aisle, serving as guards, their heads slightly bowed, showing respect to a sublime existence.

At this moment, everyone in the press conference hall felt a jolt, and they all involuntarily turned their gaze towards the doorway.

When they saw a tall, handsome young man walk in through the door, everyone simultaneously stood up and gave a salute of attention.

Without exception, their gazes carried various complex emotions.

Curiosity, apprehension, nervousness, or perhaps shock, surprise, and a certain indescribable fear.

The vast majority of those present were seeing Wang Chen in person for the first time, outside of a screen.

Seeing this strongest person on Blue Star, who had just turned nineteen not long ago, the world's number one in every sense!

Even though Wang Chen was not emitting any Aura at this moment, appearing as peaceful as a boy next door, in everyone's eyes, he seemed to radiate a light even hotter and more dazzling than the sun!

Making them involuntarily lower their heads after just a brief glance, as if in a bow.

At this moment, even though the entire press conference hall had gathered all the top powerhouses of Blue Star, not a single one of them could steal Wang Chen's light.

Walking onto the podium, Wang Chen looked calmly at the crowd below.

Those gazes, containing various emotions, did not distract him in the slightest.

Such a small scene might be a bother for other people his age, but for him, who had experienced great storms, it was not worth mentioning.

"I am very happy to see you all here. First, I want to clarify one thing!

I have no interest in power whatsoever!"

Wang Chen's gaze swept across the hall as he spoke his first sentence from the podium.

Below, the silence was deafening!
