Chapter 1757: On Merits and Rewards

“Alright, now that we’ve achieved ultimate victory in our most challenging battle, and the entire Kunlun lineage has entered a new era, it’s time to reorganize the system within the Kunlun Divine Path.

Everyone who participated fully in this battle, regardless of their strength, will receive the status of a management member under the new order of the Kunlun Divine Path.

I will express my views on how to specifically allocate these roles. If there are differing opinions, we can discuss them and make adjustments.

The most crucial components of the entire Kunlun lineage’s heritage are actually the nine sources of power. Therefore, under the new order of the Kunlun Divine Path, the highest positions will undoubtedly be held by the representatives of these nine power lineages.

Among the Human-Spirit Six Imperial Clans’ lineages, Jiu’er will be the new leader of the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan. Xiaoxiang will, like Jiu’er, formally accept the leadership of the Yan Yu Imperial Clan.

Furthermore, I grant both of you a special privilege: the selection of leaders for the remaining four Imperial Clans will be left to your discretion. There's no rush to complete this.

You will have sufficient time to seek out suitable candidates, and you need not consult me. As long as you believe a person has the ability and qualifications to serve as an Imperial Clan leader, you may appoint them on my behalf.

Until the corresponding candidates emerge, all disciples of the Human-Spirit Six Imperial Clans will be under your unified management. Should anyone act presumptuously due to seniority or status and disobey orders, you are free to deal with them as you see fit.”

As Xu Yang finished speaking, he immediately released his incredibly powerful Human Emperor aura again. He then pointed a golden beam of light towards the space between Xiaoxiang and Jiu’er’s eyebrows. This golden light represented Xu Yang’s Human Emperor’s Will.

To put it plainly, it symbolized Xu Yang’s ultimate authority. With this Human Emperor’s Will present, any disciple of the Six Imperial Clans who dared to violate Jiu’er and Xiaoxiang’s commands would face unimaginable sanctions from the laws of power.

Protected by Xu Yang’s light of the Human Emperor, the authority these two girls now possessed could not be shaken by anyone.

They were now undeniably the two most powerful individuals among the Human-Spirit Six Imperial Clans. This was due to their relationship with Xu Yang, having fought side-by-side and supported each other to reach this point, achieving the success everyone had hoped for. Now, it was time to reap the fruits of victory.

Xu Yang truly did not吝啬hold back in the distribution of power. Jiu’er and Xiaoxiang had never imagined that Xu Yang, whom they held in the highest regard, would bestow such immense authority upon them.

This also meant that these two young girls had to shoulder a significant responsibility. Xiaoxiang, unlike Jiu’er, did not appear excited; instead, she looked worried.

“Esteemed Xu Yang, this matter is of great importance, and I fear I may not be competent enough. After all, my experience is limited, and my strength is far from that of a lineage leader.

Although I have your Human Emperor aura for protection, I cannot internally convince myself to take on such a weighty responsibility. The Human-Spirit Six Imperial Clans possess such profound heritage; to this day, there are thousands of elders within the clans. By any measure, it shouldn't be my turn to bear this heavy burden.”

Xu Yang burst into laughter, “I knew you would have such concerns, but don’t people always need to grow? If you feel overwhelmed, feel free to seek out Senior Yanxia at any time. With the eighteen Guardian Spirits supporting you, I truly don’t believe anyone in the entire Human-Spirit Six Imperial Clans would dare to disobey your orders.”

Upon hearing Xu Yang’s words, a glimmer appeared in Xiaoxiang’s eyes. She truly hadn't expected Xu Yang to support her so strongly and entrust her with such great power and responsibility under these circumstances. Xiaoxiang had never realized she held such an important place in Xu Yang’s heart. Finally, she stopped arguing and nodded gently.

She didn’t want to disappoint Xu Yang. Jiu’er, on the other hand, hadn't uttered a single word of dissent the entire time, maintaining her usual cheerful expression.

“Don’t worry, Brother Xu Yang, Xiaoxiang and I will not disappoint you. Most of the old fellows from the Human-Spirit Six Imperial Clans who dared to defy our orders pretty much died in this battle. The remaining few aren't troublemakers either, so managing them won’t be difficult.”

Hearing Jiu’er say this, everyone burst into laughter, especially her biological father, the Demon Saint, who helplessly shook his head repeatedly.

“Very good, with your words, I am reassured. The matters of the Human-Spirit Six Imperial Clans are settled. Next are the beast races.

After all, you are essentially the largest demographic in the entire Kunlun civilization, besides humans, so pacifying you is a top priority.

There is nothing more to say: the Four Demon Saints will be the new leaders of the demon race. All major decisions concerning the entire beast race will be jointly deliberated by the four of you.

In addition, Xiao Hui, and the other one of you with the imperial bloodline of the beast race, although you don't need to do much, as totems of the beast race and irreplaceable symbols of the entire Kunlun civilization, you may also participate in the discussions of the Four Demon Saints when necessary, offering your opinions.”

Xiao Hui nodded reluctantly. He clearly understood that Xu Yang’s allocation of the new Kunlun Divine Path order meant that his departure from this land was not far off.

In truth, Xiao Hui had always regarded Xu Yang as his master. A pet separated from its master is like being lost without a future direction.

Therefore, these two cats were the most dispirited presences among the crowd at that moment. Xu Yang noticed his emotional fluctuation, and soothingly stroked his fluffy head, speaking softly.

“You don’t need to be so sad. You and I are connected by blood, and we can communicate through soul transmission at any time. Moreover, with my current cultivation, any corner of the entire main continent is merely a place I can reach in a single thought.

If you miss me, just send me a soul message, and I will appear before you immediately. Furthermore, now that the Kunlun Divine Path has entered a new era of civilization, no beast within the Divine Path should dare to harm you. If anything happens, the Four Demon Saints are always there. You are now the Emperor of the beast race; what is there to fear?”

Xiao Hui’s mood indeed improved significantly upon hearing Xu Yang’s words. This boy was always so easy to comfort. In his joy, he stuck out his tongue and repeatedly licked Xu Yang’s cheek, a sight that brought delight to everyone.

Then, Xu Yang, holding the hermaphroditic Xiao Hui, looked up at the eighteen Guardian Spirits beside him.
