Chapter 1469: Chapter 924: Unyielding to Reformation (Part 2)
And today, Emperor Yang Pan of the Great Qian has already announced tonight’s banquet at the Marquis Mansion.
It is both to celebrate surviving a near-death experience and to discuss some plans for the future.
Although the Creation Ship has now shown signs of decline, the sun, moon, and stars inside have lost their physical form.
Yet, there are still projections in the sky, with a bright moon and stars on the curtain at night, looking no different from the True World.
The Marquis Mansion is brightly lit, with flowing water banquets filled with tables of wine, and servants and maids are busy serving dishes.
The status of the Marquis Mansion has risen again, and even the servants serving dishes are holding their heads high, with flattery for the Mansion echoing everywhere.
“Wu Wenhou turned the tide and saved us from peril, this is indeed a great favor.”
“Yes, who would have thought that a perfectly fine world would disappear just like that.”
“Ah~”
Not only are some representatives of the outside banquets present, but within the Marquis Mansion, important members of the Imperial Family and representatives of various top noble families are also in attendance.
Among them, the most distinguished are undoubtedly Emperor Yang Pan of the Great Qian and the two greatest representatives of the world-renowned noble family: Fan Yuntao, the Family Head of the Fan Family, a descendant of the Saint Fan Zi.
In appearance, Yang Pan is certainly the highest in status.
But dynasties rise and fall like flowing water, while noble families are as solid as iron, as the Fan Family, passed down through generations, has witnessed the prosperity and rise of multiple dynasties.
Every dynasty has needed the joint governance of numerous noble families.
Although Yang Pan has his own ideas and plans, he also has some skills.
Yet he cannot leave the support of the noble families.
This is even more true after the great destruction of the current world!
If not for the support of Hong Xuanji, and the fact that the creator is Hong Xuanji’s mentor, he wouldn’t be able to be on par with the Fan Family, even as a Ghost Immortal who has survived six Heavenly Tribulations.
Although Fan Yuntao, the Family Head and Head of Fanzi Academy, has only survived five Heavenly Tribulations, the Fan Family also has an ancestor who has lived for over two thousand years and has reached the pinnacle of six Heavenly Tribulations.
He might even seize the opportunity of this world destruction and achieve the seventh Heavenly Tribulation as the ’creator’!
Adding the Fan Family’s own accumulated foundation and influence over other noble families in the world.
It can be said that in terms of influence within the Creation Ship world, the creator is supreme, Hong Xuanji is second, and the Fan Family follows.
However, the Fan Family advocates a rule of law over the country and extreme ideals of ’upholding natural law and extinguishing human desires’, which to some extent align with the interests of the dynasty.
Therefore, both parties can still sit down calmly at this time to discuss…
——
“Wu Wenhou probably has tasks assigned by the creator and might not come, so let us begin first.”
Yang Pan glanced at the time, smiled slightly, seeming to confirm the current situation as if he were on the home ground.
“Since His Majesty has spoken, I have no other opinions, but ultimately, this is the Marquis Mansion, I wonder what Madam Zhao thinks.”
Fan Yuntao maintained a calm face without refuting Yang Pan, merely glancing at a charming beauty beside him.
Zhao Wan’er, the legitimate wife of Hong Xuanji, a noble daughter of the Zhao Family, wore an opulent court ceremonial dress that enhanced her majestic aura, and the belt at her waist perfectly showcased her full figure.
Due to Hong Xuanji’s rise in status, her face perpetually held a charming blush, further adding to her alluring charm.
Upon hearing Fan Yuntao’s words, she chuckled softly.
“The Marquis has always respected His Majesty, so since His Majesty has spoken, it is as if the Marquis himself has spoken, let us begin then.”
Despite her alluring beauty, Zhao Wan’er is actually quite ruthless, having poisoned Hong Yi’s mother, the original Child of Destiny, under Hong Xuanji’s orders.
Moreover, she is also strict with other concubines and offspring.
Yet, as a descendant of a major family and the legitimate wife of Hong Xuanji, Zhao Wan’er possesses formidable abilities herself.
She recognizes the relationship between Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji, viewing Yang Pan’s influence on Hong Xuanji as even greater than that of that wench Meng Bingyun!
Her status in her husband’s eyes is far inferior to that of His Majesty.
Thus, even though the Marquis Mansion’s status is already elevated, she still unequivocally stands by Yang Pan’s side as a gesture to the outside.
Fan Yuntao naturally understood the message she conveyed and said no more, directly delving into the main topic.
“Our world was destroyed by the assault of the Destructive Demon God, saved only by the efforts of the creator and the Marquis, allowing us to survive. But now, less than one in a thousand of us remain, we must consider the future carefully…”
“What Principal Fan says is correct. Our family now only retains some core members of the Legitimate Line, with some small thousand worlds directly destroyed, leaving us severely understaffed, though we still have some food reserves in various spaces, the day of depletion is inevitable.”
“Previously, someone went out to explore and discovered tens of billions of uneducated wildlings outside this world. Perhaps we can educate them for labor…”
Previously, the Great Qian Dynasty covered a vast land, but its registered population was only around ten billion, including those hidden and those in numerous small worlds totaling only twenty billion.
Even then, it was the strongest dynasty on the Central Continent.
Yet, this small thousand world now contains tens of billions!
All the splendor of the noble families is built upon those they regard as commoners.
Without the commoners’ labor, without their produced food and services, the noble families could not enjoy their current privileges.
Arriving in this Creation Ship world for these few days has already become somewhat uncomfortable.
