The world had bent the knee.
But bending was not enough.
Zairon needed a system — a machine that could sustain itself, one that could devour chaos and spit out order.
Inside the Sovereign's Hall, with his top advisors, generals, and a few handpicked aides, the Internal Restructuring began.

Step One: Divisions of the Supreme Order
Zairon rose from his seat, tapping a single finger against a massive blackstone table.
A golden projection of the world floated above them, and his voice echoed in the vast hall:
> "The Supreme Order is split into four Pillars. Each citizen belongs to one. No exceptions."
1. The Martial Division
Warriors, hunters, protectors.
All combat professionals, dungeon raiders, military forces.
Led by the strongest generals under Zairon.
2. The Mystical Division
Cultivators, mages, healers, artifact creators.
Focused on research, cultivation, magic advancement.
The division to nurture Earth's new potential.
3. The Explorers' Division
Adventurers, scouts, pioneers.
Tasked with dungeon exploration, resource recovery, ancient ruin investigations.
4. The Civic Division
Scholars, merchants, craftsmen, farmers, normal citizens.
Responsible for economy, logistics, education, and sustaining society.

Step Two: Rank Restructuring
Zairon wanted no confusion about authority.
Ranks were reworked simply, brutally:
Sovereign (Zairon): Absolute ruler.
Sovereign's Hands (Division Leaders): Four.
Commanders: Leaders of key regions and operations.
Executors: Elite task force agents directly under Sovereign command.
Knights of Order: Recognized S-rank and above individuals.
Citizens: Everyone else.
Each Division was to govern itself internally but obey central commands without question.

Step Three: Oaths and Blood Pacts
To prevent betrayal, Zairon had his system imprint a unique Mark of Order on the Division Leaders.
> "Your strength is your own. Your loyalty is mine."
If they betrayed him?
Their strength would be ripped away in an instant.
---
Step Four: Rebirth of Guilds and Kingdoms
The old guilds were not destroyed — they were absorbed.
Each old kingdom became a Province under the Martial Division.
Each guild became a Branch Office under the Explorers' Division.
Rewards were abundant for those who adapted.
Resistance was met with annihilation.
---
In the Following Months:
A New Academy was built:
The Supreme Academy — training the next generation of Order citizens.
New Dungeons were cataloged and divided among divisions.
New Cultivation Techniques were published openly, raising the baseline strength of the whole world.
Technology and Cultivation merged — Earth advanced by centuries overnight.

Zairon's Private Thoughts
Standing atop the black tower of Sovereign's Hall, Zairon smirked to himself.
> "Good. Solid foundations. Before I ascend...
I want to leave behind a machine even time itself can't destroy."
His eyes gleamed with a mix of ambition and madness.
> "The world is no longer divided.
It is a blade... sharpened under my will."
