“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.

But even so, he hadn’t got the priesthood of “Royalty”. It had been inherited by a Holy Spirit transformed from an ancient Sage King under the arrangement of the God of Light. Although the new God of Royalty usually kept a low profile and showed no sense of being, the God of Aristocracy never dared do anything against him.

This, of course, was not because the newly appointed God of Royalty who only had weak divine power had any special abilities. It was just because the God of Aristocracy dared not take the risk of provoking the God of Light.

The deterrent force of the God of Light was evident!

For Sui Xiong, the support of republicanism by the God of Light did not only mean that he didn’t need to be on guard against the God of Aristocracy for a period of time, but it also meant great encouragement.

The God of Light was the key figure who had led the human race from being weak to being strong. Before him, although the God of Knights had been brave and good at fighting, he could barely maintain the survival of human beings instead of making human beings grow more populous and stronger. After he had came into power, he had used all kinds of means, including documents or forces, directly and indirectly. Many of them were shady or bloody. Sui Xiong did not agree with how he had done them, but he had to approve his achievements.

Nowadays, human beings had become the most powerful race in the main plane, not only surpassing the dwarfs and the pygmies who had been in the same situation as them, but also, to some degree, overwhelming the orcs, the sworn enemies who had been fighting with them for tens of thousands of years.

As was known, in terms of congenital conditions, human beings were not comparable to orcs.

When the God of Knight had been the God of Human Beings, what he only knew in his mind was fighting with the orcs blindly. Although he was very brave, even almost destroying the Orc God System all by himself, what he had done slowed the progress of human. By the time he left, mankind had not been developed.

However, the first strategy after the Lord of Light came into power was to make an initiative concession and direct the great migration of human beings. They gave up the vastest grassland with the most abundant resources in the mid-northern part of the main plane, and turned to guard the natural defense line surrounded by Graystone Mountains, Giant Beast Mountains and Broken Cloud Mountains, where now the Kingdom of Eagle was established. At the same time, they launched an attack toward the south, bypassing the Broken Cloud Mountains, then suppressed and seized the territory of the pygmies where the present Kingdom of Blue Moon was.

It took humans about 2,000 years to defeat the country of the pygmies and annex the fertile fields along the mid-eastern coasts. Then, after about 1,000 years of development, they had launched a large-scale attack on the territory of the elves. The Kingdom of Thousands of Springs had been established during the attack. Till today, the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs was continuously encroaching on the Ancient forests where the elves lived, never ending. On the border, fierce conflicts often erupted between humans and elves .

Around five thousand years, human beings had acquired a stable territory, and they could concentrate on development. During thousands of years after that, humans had ushered in a period of talent explosion, with nearly 20 Gods appearing in total. Although most of these gods had fallen, it was during that time that human beings had established their position as the overlord of the main plane. Normally, to this point of humans’ development, it had reached the limit of geography then. After all, seas or deserts were not suitable places for humans to reproduce. All that remained to be done was to choose whether to fight the orcs or the elves.

However, in this case, the God of Light had opened up a new path, launching a grand immigration pioneering plan, which was called “Great voyage” by later generations.

The establishments of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, Mifata Federation, Duchy of Thunder and Dhaka Commercial Association were all the results of the Great Voyage. The costs, toil, sweat and sacrifice of it was really countless. Anyway, the human race finally succeeded, occupying more than one third of the territory on the main plane mainland and becoming the well-deserved overlord of the main plane .

All of that was achieved under the lead of the God of Light!

To be affirmed by this great hero, Sui Xiong naturally couldn’t help being complacent, even if he did not like him.
