Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Before they could speak, Tangning waved her hand and ended the topic. Now was not the time to talk about this. He needed to break it down. If they gathered it all in one place and talked it out, then there would be no way to instigate them. Conflict arises.

"The canonization of the Lord of the Northern Territory is of great importance. Regarding the stability of the entire Northern Territory, although the new candidate has not yet been decided, one thing is certain. This person must be absolutely loyal to the supreme god of death."

"Let's not talk about this matter for now. If any of you want to be the Lord of the Northern Territory, you can come to me at any time in the future. Of course, I will also listen to your opinions, and then judge who is most suitable for this position, and then report it to the great The god of death, please ask him to be canonized.”

"What we are discussing today is another matter. This time Du Zhen did not know the heights of the world and overestimated his capabilities and led his troops to besiege Fenghua City, causing many casualties. In addition to himself, many of his subordinates were killed when attacking Fenghua City. These people There must also be lords of various cities in the palace. If they die, the position cannot be left vacant. "

"I have decided to select a group of people from Fenghua District to fill the vacancies and serve as lords of the city. They are loyal to the great god and deserve to be rewarded for their meritorious service in guarding Fenghua City this time."

"Dear envoy, with all due respect, according to the rules of the Northern Territory, the lords of each city are always recommended by their tribes. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to send people from Fenghua District to other areas to serve as lords." At this time, Xiang Kong He suddenly spoke.

"I don't care what it was like before. From now on, the rules of the Northern Territory will be changed. From now on, all city and regional lords will be appointed by the great god of death. Anyone who disobeys will be regarded as treason. After you go back, Tell this news to the lords of the regions under your jurisdiction. Anyone who dares to disobey will be executed immediately. Anyone, including you, who disobeys the Lord of the Northern Territory appointed by the great god will be regarded as rebelling."

The situation was stronger than the people. Seeing how strong he was, several people stopped talking. On the one hand, they all wanted to fight for the position of Lord of the Northern Territory and did not want to offend the messenger of the gods in front of them. On the other hand, they were naturally afraid of the majesty of the god of death.

"Xingyuan."

"My subordinates are here, what are your orders from the envoy king?" Xing Yuan, who was standing nearby, immediately responded.

"Some time ago, many guards in the city defected. Such behavior is equivalent to betraying the supreme god of death. These people must not be let go. You will post the identities of the defectors and spread them throughout the cities in the northern region, and form an elite team. The search team will hunt down and kill these defectors. Anyone who dares to harbor and condone these defectors will be regarded as a traitor and will be executed."

"Yes, I will take your orders."

"One more thing, you should immediately go and count the people who were killed during the siege and find out which areas they are from. I want to select a group of people from Fenghua City to take over their territory."

"Yes." Xingyuan responded.

"I ask you to issue an order. Every city in the Northern Territory, no matter how big or small, must build a magnificent statue of the God of Death. On this day every year, everyone in the city must pray to the great God of Death. This is both a tribute to the great God and Respect is also a way to show one's loyalty. In addition, no disrespectful words or disrespectful actions should be used towards the great god of death. Anyone who dares to speak ill of the great god in private can be arrested and brought to me. …”

Tangning continued to talk a lot of high-sounding words and formulated some rules to maintain the authority of the God of Death.

After the discussion was over, several Fuxi Realm powerhouses left one after another without saying anything.

At night, he was sitting cross-legged in the room, closing his eyes and practicing his magical powers. There was a knock on the door. After the stone door opened, Xingyuan came in from the outside, holding a black roll and handed it to him: "King Messenger, press According to your instructions, the enemy's dead in this attack on Fenghua City have been identified, please take a look."

Tang Ning took it and glanced at it. There was a dense list of personnel, including thirteen fusion-level undead creatures and more than a hundred Void-refining level undead creatures.

"You have also contributed a lot to the defense of Fenghua City this time. The vacant city lords will be taken over by you! Their jurisdiction will be handed over to you from now on. As for the original owners and castle lords, they will also be handed over to you. People will take charge of it, just bring a list of recommended people."

"Yes, I will take your orders. Thank you so much, King Envoy." Xingyuan responded happily, his expression could not hide his excitement.

Among the thirteen fused monks killed in the siege, five were direct subordinates of Beiyu Chengdu Zhen, the other two were Fengqi and Bai Qian, the defected city lords of Fenghua District, and the remaining six were lords of various cities. , Fenghua District only had seven cities under its direct jurisdiction. Now there are six more cities under its jurisdiction, doubling the territory.

"As long as you are loyal to the great god, the benefits are indispensable. Now that the Northern Territory has been pacified, your next main task is to capture and kill those who defected. You must make them pay the price. There must be no forgiveness or tolerance for betrayers. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do their best to arrest the defectors."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards outside the palace strode in, leaned down and saluted: "Your Majesty, the leader of Tianjian City, Meng Yuan, is waiting outside to see you."

It’s coming so soon, I can’t wait! Tangning raised the corners of her mouth slightly, waved her hands and said, "Okay, you go ahead!"

"My subordinates say goodbye." Xingyuan left in response.

Soon, Meng Yuan came indoors. He still had a proud head, but his tone was much more humble: "Dear envoy, I have something to discuss with you."

"Please take a seat!"

Meng Yuan sat down as he was told, without any mincing words, he went straight to the point: "Please tell the great god of death that I want to replace the King of Duzhen and become the Lord of the Northern Territory."

"No problem, I will tell you. However, if you want the great god to appoint you as the Lord of the Northern Territory, just one sentence is not enough."

"Please tell me clearly what conditions are required before the great god of death is willing to appoint me as the Lord of the Northern Territory. No matter what the conditions are, I am willing to accept them."

"Conditions, are you bargaining with the great god of death? I said it. The supreme god of death comes to this world only to punish those rebels. It does not require any external objects. What is a rare treasure in your eyes is also in the eyes of its elders. It’s nothing but scrap metal. What conditions do you think you can offer to let it reward you with the Northern Territory?”

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Tangning's words, Meng Yuan quickly explained: "The envoy misunderstood. This is not what I meant. My original intention is that if the great god of death can canonize me to take over the Northern Territory City and become the new Lord of the Northern Territory, I will Pay any price."

"That's more or less the same. But you are not the only one who covets this position. You should know in your heart that others also hope to take Watanabe's place. Among so many people, why would the great god choose you instead of others? In terms of strength, Hua Yuan, Xiang Kong, Wan Xuan, and Zi Mo are not inferior to you. If you want to win this position, you need to prove that you are more suitable than others. In this way, it will be convenient for me to be here for you. Speak before the Great God."

Meng Yuan said: "I am absolutely loyal to the great God of Death. If the messenger can speak kindly to the God of Death for me, I will repay him with all my heart. If the messenger has any instructions in the future, I will do my best to complete it."

Tangning shook her head: "You still don't understand what I mean. Let me make it clearer. Meng Yuan, you must tell me why you are more suitable to be the Lord of the Northern Territory than others, so that I can recommend you to the great god. ”

"The words you just said do not prove that you are more suitable than others. Others will say those words."

"As for what you said about repaying me in vain. First of all, I don't need your reward. I am only responsible for helping the great god of death deal with chores. There is nothing I need here. Secondly, I am acting on behalf of the great god, regardless of you. Whether you are willing or not, you must do what I say. This is not a discussion, but an order. "

"If you dare to disobey and refuse to obey, I will destroy you. Du Zhen's fate will be a lesson to you. You'd better put yourself in a correct position. I don't want to hear such stupid words next time. Do you understand?"

Meng Yuan was scolded sternly, and his face was a little confused. His expression changed slightly, but he still held back his anger.

"I didn't think well, please forgive me."

"Tell me! Give me a reason why I recommend you to the great god as the new Lord of the Northern Territory?"

Meng Yuan was silent for a while: "The Lord of the Northern Territory rules the Northern Territory. He must have the strength of the Restoration Realm to convince the public."

"Among these people, Zimo is the lord of Qianyuan District and is not from his own clan. If he were to rule the Northern Territory, people would naturally be dissatisfied. I was the first among the rest to surrender to the great god, Hua Yuan, Xiang Kong "Wanxuan and the other three didn't want to surrender, but they still had the stubborn intention to resist. They surrendered one after another after seeing me surrender first. If the great god canonizes them as the Lords of the Northern Territory, they will definitely become rebellious over time."

"The envoy has seen Xiang Kong's attitude in the palace just now. He is opposed to the great god of death appointing people from Fenghua District to serve as lords of other regions. This shows that he and the great god are not of the same mind."

"Except for Xiang Kong, I am the first among these people to reach the Fuxi Realm. I am higher than them in terms of qualifications and prestige."

"So it is most suitable for me to serve as the Lord of the Northern Territory." (End of this chapter)
