I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 113: Peaceful and Prosperous Times

It has been ten years since the disaster known as the "World-Destroying Fire".

After the wicked fire disappeared that day, a powerful evil aura appeared again, and everyone thought they could not escape the disaster.

Unexpectedly, the evil aura came and went quickly. It disappeared soon and never appeared again.

The Kyushu world returned to normal.

What makes people in Kyushu feel sad is that the Heavenly Master who saved the world has also disappeared, and his whereabouts are unknown, whether he is dead or alive.

People were grateful for the kindness of Tianzun and worried that similar disasters would happen again in the future, so they spontaneously built temples and erected statues to worship Tianzun.

Also receiving incense and offerings in the temple are some heroes who sacrificed their lives in the magic fire disaster, such as Yan Chixia, the Shushan Sect's supreme elder Zhou Jianfeng, the Dafo Temple's living Buddha Xuanzang... and some brave mortals with outstanding deeds.

In addition, there is a small statue of a goddess next to the statue of Tianzun. She is the maid of Tianzun and is also enshrined.

Although the Xuanhuang Pagoda and the Jiuzhou Formation set up by Tianzun disappeared after this disaster, thanks to the previous national reforms, the court without Tianzun's presidency still performed its management functions well.

All work, including disaster relief, maintaining public security, restoring order, and post-disaster reconstruction, is being carried out in an orderly manner.

The efficient administrative system and complete laws and regulations previously established by Tianzun played a huge role. The rule that there would be chaos after a major disaster was broken, and the world of Jiuzhou restored order in an unprecedentedly stable and rapid manner.

A karmic fire disaster killed or injured nearly half of the human race in Kyushu, and countless other creatures died.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, the population in the ancient world was not concentrated enough, and the residents in those remote mountain villages were basically killed as soon as the disaster occurred.

During the post-disaster reconstruction, the talents discovered and reused by Tianzun played an important role.

For example, Premier Ning Caichen of the State Council, Academician Zhuge Wulong of the Academy of Sciences, President Fu Tianchou of the Military Affairs Council... The senior officials of various departments of the court were almost all firm "Tianzun faction", and they implemented all the ideological guidelines and policies of Tianzun without any compromise.

In the world of cultivation, there is also a rising star named Zhiqiu Yiye who takes over the Sitian Academy. He has entered the Yangshen realm at a young age, is capable, and manages all aspects of the world of cultivation in an orderly manner.

When fighting against the karmic fire disaster, the high-level cultivators in the world of cultivation were at the forefront and suffered heavy casualties as a result.

The only three earthly immortals: Shushan Sect's Grand Elder Zhou Jianfeng, Dafo Temple's Living Buddha Xuanzang, and Taishan's God Shi Gan Dang, all died in the battle. Of the three hundred Yang God realm cultivators, only a few dozen demon kings and Yin Gods remained.

As the main force against natural disasters, the human race suffered the heaviest losses. However, the demon and ghost races did not dare to have any extra thoughts.

Needless to say, the ghost clan mostly originated from the human race, and they share the same family background. The high-level officials are all city gods who eat official meals and are on the same side as the imperial court.

A few monsters do have the idea of ​​escaping from control and living freely.

However, there is a tree monster in the monster clan named Lan Huairuo, who is a die-hard follower of Tianzun and is merciless to any monster that dares to violate the rules set by Tianzun.

There are also fox demons, flower demons and other demon clan forces that firmly stand on the side of the government. The minority who want to escape from the control can only stay in the circle honestly.

Time flies, and ten years passed in a flash. Jiuzhou gradually recovered from the disaster.

In the past, such a disaster would probably take hundreds of years to recover from.

But now the imperial court that governs all the mortal beings in Kyushu has an efficient and complete management system, various new technologies, high-yield crops, good education and scientific research, complete medical and social security... the population growth rate has increased several times compared to before.

In just ten years, Kyushu's population has almost recovered to the level before the disaster, and the living standard has surpassed it. Now everyone has clothes to wear, enough food to eat, and spare money for shopping. Every child has a school to go to, and the bad habit of abandoning babies and favoring boys over girls has been effectively eradicated. People do not lock their doors at night and do not pick up things on the road. Morality and quality have greatly improved.

Strangely enough, after the natural disaster, there were fewer evil people in the world. It was as if all the bad people had agreed to die in the disaster ten years ago.

Later, scholars from the Academy of Cultivation studied and speculated that it might be because the karmic fire was originally born from sin, so it would preferentially attack those who were deeply sinful, which led to the deaths of a large number of bad people.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, and all industries in the country are thriving and prosperous.

People increasingly miss and appreciate the Heavenly Lord of those days. Not only because he saved the world, but also because he brought about a complete transformation to the world of Kyushu and established the foundation for immortality.

That’s why we are where we are today. In just ten years, we have realized the ideal society that our ancestors dreamed of – [all under heaven enjoy peace and prosperity].

All this is thanks to Tianzun!

As a result, the Tianzun Temple and Tianzun Palace became increasingly popular, and people worshiped them during every festival. The government even took the lead in holding sacrificial activities, designating July 10th of each year, the day when the karmic fire disaster occurred, as the Tianzun Memorial Day, and held grand sacrifices to Tianzun.

……

Jiuzhou Academy, Tianzun Academy.

In the ten years after the disaster, the large number of talents trained by Kyushu Academy every year played a huge role in the reconstruction of the Kyushu world.

The status of institutions of higher learning has also risen. Students now have a higher status than scholars in the past. People respect intellectuals from the bottom of their hearts.

In order to properly handle the group of special students who were personally taught by Tianzun, the high-level officials of the court discussed and decided to change the special recruitment class to [Tianzun College], and set up a special college to train this group of geniuses valued by Tianzun.

After that, every year, talented students from Jiuzhou were strictly selected and added to the academy, and their training was modeled after the special training model of Tianzun’s previous special recruitment class.

Facts have proved that this kind of training method fully tapped the potential of talents, and later cultivated countless pillars of the country and unparalleled patriots for the Kyushu court.

However, among the Tianzun students, there are a few special students who are causing the current court a lot of headaches.

I don't know how to arrange them.

"My Lords, please come this way. The princes and princesses are already waiting in the Tianzun Palace."

"Yes. Thank you for your help."

Ning Caichen, who has a beard down to his chest and looks like a middle-aged man, is now a pillar of the court. He is dignified but not fearful, calm and polite, and has the aura of someone who has been in a high position for a long time.

He was followed by several officials, and outsiders would be shocked to see them.

The President of the Academy of Sciences Zhuge Wulong, the President of the Military Affairs Council Fu Tianchou, the President of the Astronomical Institute Zhiqiu Yiye, the Minister of Agriculture Lan Huairuo, the Minister of Police Zuo Qianjun, the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards Xiahou Qingfeng... several of the court elders who had followed Tianzun the longest were all here.

The guards along the way watched closely, not daring to look or ask, knowing that this was not something that small people like them could find out.

I just muttered to myself: [Why are so many big guys gathered together? ]

[The eunuch just mentioned the prince and princess? Could it be...]
