277: The establishment of the Divine Court

Su Chen continued, "The current Xuantian Realm is divided into four major domains. Compared to the Immortal Realm, the Xuantian Realm is much smaller, so we will consolidate it into three major provinces."

"When our territory expands in the future, we can make adjustments. If there are more provinces later, we can add another layer of management, still using domains as units—for example, one domain governing ten provinces..."

As Su Chen spoke, the members of the Su Family below were secretly alarmed.

They originally thought Su Chen was just casually offering opinions, but they didn't expect the system to be so perfect, countless times better than many Empires.

Su Chen added some details: "Within the Empire, there needs to be a hierarchy, just as provinces are divided into cities, counties, and towns."

"A town needs a mayor, a vice-mayor, an enforcement department, a discipline inspection department, and so on. Their powers should differ to allow for mutual checks and balances..."

Su Chen's voice rang out continuously. He shared almost his entire ideal plan for a nation with everyone. Many of the details were simply astounding to them.

Half an hour passed in this manner before Su Chen finished sharing his views.

However, the hall had fallen into a deathly silence. Everyone had their brows furrowed, thinking about how to actually implement what Su Chen had just described.

It was undeniable.

If those arrangements could truly be made, this Empire would certainly not face major issues in the future and would even become increasingly prosperous.

Su Chen looked at them with a calm expression.

In fact, what he had just said was only a rough draft based on the national enforcement units and institutional combinations from his previous life on Earth.

But this was a world of cultivation; it was impossible to copy it perfectly. Many details needed adjustment.

Of course, he was just providing a starting point; the specifics of how to do it depended on everyone present.

Su Chen simply felt that such a management style would ensure no internal problems arose within the nation, while the ultimate power remained in the hands of the Su Family's controllers.

Especially once the territory grew larger, it would make management more convenient.

Su Qingtian immediately made a decision: "This is feasible, but what shall the Empire be named?"

He had managed the Su Family for many years and naturally knew that what Su Chen proposed was highly practical. If it could be truly implemented, it would definitely lead to better management.

The name...

Su Chen immediately showed a thoughtful expression. Naming the Empire was a serious matter because once chosen, it could not be changed later.

Furthermore, this Empire would inevitably become the face of the Su Family in the future.

Empire!

Su Chen thought for a long time. The Su Family members present did not rush him, simply waiting in silence.

After a good while, Su Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he abruptly looked up.

"No more Empire!"

Huh?

These words stunned everyone present. Weren't they just talking about establishing an Empire?

Why change the plan so quickly?

Su Qingtian and the others were also incredibly confused. He knew Su Chen wouldn't make a pointless decision, so he waited quietly for the rest.

Su Chen suddenly smiled and said, "The name 'Empire' sounds a bit unpleasant. So, let's establish a power similar to an Empire, but not called one."

"The name will be... Divine Court!"

The moment those two words appeared, everyone's pupils constricted, and shock was hard to hide on their faces.

They had all lived in the Immortal Realm for a long time. Although they didn't know history very well, they all knew that in the past of the Immortal Realm, an incredibly terrifying power had once existed.

The Supreme Divine Court!

However, it seemed some problem occurred later, causing the Divine Court to vanish, and even everyone associated with it disappeared.

Su Qingtian's brows were tightly knit as he said in a solemn tone,

"Chener, this name has a massive impact. Are you sure you really want to use it?"

Su Chen nodded without hesitation and said in a grave voice,

"I know you're thinking of the Divine Court from the Immortal Realm, but that's all in the past. Now, we are going to create a new Divine Court."

"My Su Family... shall become the Dominator of the myriad worlds, the Master of the Immortal Realm."

"Do you all have such ambition?"

Su Chen's words were deafening, leaving everyone stunned where they stood. Su Yuanba reacted the fastest; he suddenly stood up and said heroically,

"Our Su Family was brought up by you single-handedly. Even if it means going through fire and water, we will follow you without hesitation. Besides, becoming the Dominator of the myriad worlds—just hearing that is exciting!"

"Divine Court! Let it be called the Divine Court!"

"Exactly, let's make the new Divine Court surpass that bullshit Supreme Divine Court from the Immortal Realm."

Su Chen couldn't help but laugh. This was the first time he truly wanted to achieve something.

Unify the Immortal Realm!

This was one of the few goals he wanted to reach since coming to this world.

Although Su Yuanba wasn't young, he was still a hot-blooded man at heart. Looking at those excited faces, he raised his arms and shouted,

"Divine Court! Divine Court!"

Many high-ranking members of the Su Family seemed infected by the spirit and shouted along loudly,

"Divine Court!"

"Divine Court!"

Outside the hall, two guards glanced at each other, their faces full of confusion.

What was happening inside?

However, as professional guards, they knew many things were not meant to be heard, so they both consciously blocked out the sound, making sure they heard nothing.

Watching everyone shout with raised arms, Su Qingtian couldn't help but join in.

Su Yuanba laughed heartily. "This is my Su Family. Being in the Immortal Realm for all those years made me depressed."

Others laughed along as well.

After being excited for a good while, the atmosphere gradually quieted down, and Su Qingtian began to arrange the details of the Divine Court.

In terms of management, it was still similar to the method Su Chen had proposed earlier.

Regional divisions, official titles, and so on were all similar.

However, many details were adjusted to better suit this world.

After nearly three days of discussion, the Divine Court finally had a prototype, and the positions from top to bottom were set.

The Su Family's internal positions remained unchanged.

Within the Divine Court, four major halls were established.

The Lintian Hall, in charge of personnel transfers below.

The Zixiao Hall, in charge of government affairs—that is, handling various matters under the Divine Court's command.

The Yaochi Hall, in charge of internal affairs, currently tentatively managed by Yan Wanwan and Ning Yan.

The Haoran Hall, this department is in charge of discipline inspection, responsible for investigating everyone. They only have this one power and no other actual authority.

In addition, they planned to establish some divine positions once they became stronger in the future.

For example, True Gods, High Gods, and so on, to replace the status of Elders.

But it was a bit early to talk about these things now. The Su Family itself was still weak; calling themselves gods would be laughable.

So these were just plans to be implemented once their strength grew.

While the Su Family was chatting fervently, on the altar at the core of the Xuantian Realm, an illusory figure appeared faintly, a smile seemingly playing on her lips.

"So... is this how the Divine Court was born?"

"Witnessing the birth of the Supreme Divine Court is truly interesting. But Su Chen... there are too many differences from your original plan, and there seem to be many variables. Will you still come to find me? Will you still remember the promise between us?"
