“Today is a day worth writing down in history books. Starting from today, the republicanism appears for the first time in the history of world civilization.This is a great beginning…”
Felix was reading out her speech carefully on the platform, announcing the formal establishment of the Republic of Northwest. Sui Xiong, who was invisible and floating in the sky, listened to her reading below and couldn’t help smiling.
“You’ve done something amazing!” Javier poured him a glass of wine, grinning. “I’ve visited several old Gods to talk about what you’ve done. Most of them think that it looks unorthodox at first glance. But after a careful consideration, they thought it had some great merits. Now many gods think that possibly you are not messing about, but really promoting the progress of civilization.”
“What? ! They changed their opinions so fast?” Sui Xiong was a little surprised. Although he believed that the republican system must be much more advanced than the aristocratic feudal system, according to his estimation, it would still take decades or hundreds of years to convince the gods with facts when the Republic of Northwest prospered and showed its vitality.
To his surprise, there were certainly many wise ones among the Gods. They found out the advantages of republicanism with only silent deduction and reflection.
“What else did they say?” Sui Xiong asked curiously.
“Too many details. I’ll choose some representative ones. His Majesty, the God of Light, believes that although you have temporarily damaged the social stratum, you can establish a stratum system which is more efficient, more energetic and more capable of arousing people’s enthusiasm. So he is looking forward to seeing the scene when the Republic of Northwest was developed. He also said that he will help if you are in any trouble. Of course, he will also bring down some resistance for you, so you don’t have to worry about the rejections from the God of Royalty and the God of Aristocracy.”
Sui Xiong was impressed. He did not like the personality of the God of Light, but he had to admit his great power and amazing courage. If he was able to get his support, the future Republic of Northwest might not be as stable as a mountain, but at least it could throw its biggest worry away.
To be honest, he feared the God of Aristocracy very much. This God had powerful strength, but his tricks were more powerful than it, especially the dirty tricks which even made Sui Xiong secretly afraid. If possible, Sui Xiong would rather fight him with swords and guns than fight a battle of wits and conspiracy.
He knew himself well that he was really not a person who was good at playing tricks. Even though he had received the material from Crick which introduced Crick’s experience in fighting a battle of wisdom and courage with the aristocrats around in recent years, he didn’t believe that he could gain even a little advantage in conspiracy against the God of Aristocracy.
Not to mention that the God of Aristocracy and the God of Conspiracy were allies. It was not as simple as “one plus one equals two” when two conspirators came together!
Fortunately, the God of Light promised to him. As long as he could do as he had said, the God of Aristocracy would never have the guts to violate this God of Human Beings. The God of Light was recognized as a typical tyrant. If the God of Aristocracy dared to play the trick of ostensible obedience with him, he would definitely kick him out and choose a new God of Aristocracy directly.
There were so many talents in Human God System. Outstanding demigods, Holy Spirits and low-level Gods could be found everywhere. A lot of gods had not found the right priesthoods because they were still on the threshold of weak divine power, or they could not make progress because their priesthood had been occupied by others. It was no exaggeration to say that if most of the Gods in the Human God System fell, including the God of Light himself, they could be substituted in a very short time, and for some priesthoods there would be several substitutes.
There must be a substitute for the God of the Aristocracy, as he himself had been one of the substitutes of the old God of Royalty. Later, he had murdered the old God of Royalty and captured several priesthoods, which had made him the God of Aristocracy and a rising star in the Human God System.
