Chapter 950 - Coming Out From Seclusion (2/2)

This was especially so amongst those in the upper society,—the people who had great wealth and could have everything they wanted. How could these people possibly be willing to die for a commoner? Let alone if it was just for some minor mistakes…

Once the members of the upper echelon objected to this, the people would be infuriated and the rule would be destroyed.

However, Ulpian did not have to worry about these as his rule did not come from any aristocrat, military force, or popular sentiment.

Moreover, he alone could kill all the aristocrats, military forces, and people.

He did not need to rope in anyone to his side by offering them benefits. Nor did he have to get into the good books of any aristocrats, military forces, or the people. Ulpian alone had the world’s strongest power. Without the reliance of any external objects, he alone could supply the entire human society’s energy usage.

Therefore, no one in the world could stop him from doing what he wanted to do.

He might not be able to constantly monitor the crimes of several billion people across the planet. However, even if he merely monitored several hundred thousand or millions of people and then rotated between groups of people, it would be sufficient to instill fear into all criminals.

Those who violated females were to be killed.

Those who plundered the possessions of others were to be killed.

Those who took the lives of others were to be killed.

Those who embezzled public properties were to be killed.

In the first few days after the law was announced, the heavenly river in the atmosphere seethed intensely, plunging down numerous times and taking away the lives of many people.

This immediately incited backlash from countless people. There were objections from people who had been convicted with death penalties, as well as from people who felt their crimes were not that drastic for them to be served with the death sentence. Additionally, there were still various issues including whether one should be declared guilty, how the conviction would be done, how people would be arrested. All these issues caused a huge upheaval across the land.

Concurrently, Ulpian’s plan of creating a United Government was also in the midst of preparation. It was a massive government that had the 13 armies as the foundation and several tens of General-level characters serving as assistance. Numerous elites, including political figures from the 100 or more countries in the past, scientists, scholars, and militants, were also gathered.

If one wished to set up a United Government, there would tend to be various integration issues amongst the various political bodies and military groups such as finances and languages. These problems would be enough to cause the leaders of the various countries to negotiate for over a few decades.

However, with Ulpian applying pressure on them, all sorts of problems were resolved easily and the efficiency improved by several hundred or even thousands of times.

Standardizing writings, culture, law and regulations, politics… Even if numerous people were to object and even if there were all sorts of demonstrations, hunger strikes, suicidal acts, no one would be able to change Ulpian’s will and actions.

One month passed by, and the number of people who opposed Ulpian’s will and actions continued to remain high. It was because as long as they did not violate the rules that Ulpian set, they would not be arrested no matter how much they cursed him. Therefore, there were naturally many people who were against the policies he implemented.

However, Ulpian would use violence to suppress all demonstrations and actions that caused destruction.

Right now, on the surface at least, there were no organizations or individuals who would dare to openly risk their lives and use violent measures to object to the unification. Still, no one knew how many groups or individuals were secretly objecting to it.

Many people with great ambition—including the seven armies’ Commanders—understood that there was probably no one in the world who could stop Ulpian. Those who had plans to resist were just overestimating their abilities and attempting to do something impossible.

At the current moment, in the New Earth’s Federation Central City that was located at the center of the land…

This city, formed from Ulpian shifting 12 great cities from the previous Earth, was like a leviathan. Over 70 million people were in this city. Over 70% of the elites in the world, countless wealthy people, and the armies’ warriors—including the seven Commanders—were gathered within it.
