Over the years, on the vast and boundless yet strife-torn land of the Douluo Continent, the flames of war spread wantonly like a prairie fire. Various factions fought endlessly to scramble for resources, territory, and hegemony. The common people were deeply mired in this endless quagmire of war, suffering unspeakably, their lives seemingly plunging into a dark abyss.
However, right in this dark hour, with the emergence of the Douluo Continent's first nation governed by its people—the Eden People's Governing Alliance, with its capital established in Heaven Dou—it was just like a dazzling ray of dawn tearing through the dark night sky, bringing earth-shattering and profoundly significant impacts to the entire war-torn continent.
As Zhang Lexuan's ideological propaganda team grew day by day, this unprecedented state system gradually gained a resounding reputation across the continent. The army of the Eden People's Governing Alliance helped the common people who had suffered greatly from the ravages of war, uniting many like-minded individuals. These people came from different races and classes: descendants of impoverished nobles, highly skilled artisans, brave commoner warriors, and more. Attracted by the ideals and charm of the Eden Alliance, more and more people were willing to follow this voice and work together to change this world devastated by war.
Huo Yuhao was very clear from the beginning that to realize the ideal of letting the common people govern in a world with a cultivation system, he first had to establish a powerful organization. Thus, the Eden People's Governing Alliance emerged as the times required. However, the establishment of the Alliance was not smooth sailing. In the early days of its founding, the surrounding chaotic noble armies were full of hostility and vigilance towards this emerging alliance, fearing that its rise would threaten them. Moreover, there were also many problems within the Alliance. The various factions that constantly joined had different interest demands, leading to frequent conflicts.
Facing these dilemmas, the governing council headed by Xian Lin'er did not flinch. Leading the core members of the Alliance, and after countless in-depth discussions and research, she formulated a set of suitable laws, explicitly stipulating that the power of the Alliance belonged to the common people. Various counties within the territory formed a parliament through elected representatives to exercise legislative power. At the same time, Empress Bibi Dong established multiple departments, such as administration and the law enforcement angels, to check and balance each other, ensuring that power was not abused.
Economically, the Eden People's Governing Alliance implemented a series of policies beneficial to the people's livelihood. They vigorously encouraged agricultural production, organized earth-attribute soul masters to cooperate with soul tools to research planting techniques suitable for different regions, and provided high-quality seeds and agricultural tools free of charge to the toiling masses to increase grain output.
Simultaneously, the Eden Alliance actively developed commercial trade with the Sun Moon Continent. They built spacious trade routes, opened up shipping lanes, established fair trade markets, and lowered the Alliance's taxes, attracting countless merchants to come and invest.
The Eden Alliance paid particular attention to industrial development, especially the manufacturing of soul tools. The members of the Straw Hat Brigade founded by Xie Huanyue promoted the technological innovation of soul tools relying on their unique insights accumulated during their adventures. The Hongchen siblings, led by Elder Kong, formed a soul tool research and development team. After countless experiments, they successfully developed more efficient, convenient, and lower-cost soul tools. This not only improved the Alliance's productivity but also created massive wealth for the Alliance.
Militarily, the Eden People's Governing Alliance built a powerful army. The army was jointly composed of soul masters and commoners, receiving strict and systematic training. Ju Zi personally formulated the training plans, applying various superb tactics to the soul engineer legions.
Just a year ago, Ju Zi led the army in a blitzkrieg against Dou Ling, annexing the territory of the former Dou Ling Empire and once again encompassing the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire from ten thousand years ago. This placed considerable military pressure on the Star Luo Empire to the south. In the border areas, the Eden Alliance built solid defensive fortifications, deployed clever reconnaissance soul tools, and strengthened border patrols and surveillance to ensure the Alliance's security.
Following the death of the new Sun Moon Emperor Xu Tianhe, who was also the Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei, the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire had essentially become a plate of loose sand. Facing the successive major moves of the Eden Alliance, they could only swallow their anger in silence. After all, out of the dozens of known Ultimate Douluos today, every single one was Huo Yuhao's person.
As the Eden People's Governing Alliance continued to develop and expand, its influence gradually spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent. The commoners of neighboring countries, hearing about the Alliance's system and the beautiful life there, yearned for it one after another. Their dissatisfaction with their own ruling classes intensified by the day, strongly demanding that the royal families make changes. This made the current rulers of the two great empires feel immense pressure, forcing them to adjust various domestic systems.
The rise of the Eden People's Governing Alliance triggered a reshuffling of the major factions on the Douluo Continent. Some originally disadvantaged factions, seeing the Alliance's development potential, chose to cooperate with the Alliance one after another. Meanwhile, some powerful factions remained vigilant against the Alliance, attempting to contain its development. Under this complex situation, the generation's Empress Bibi Dong, relying on her wisdom and strategy, skillfully maneuvered among the major factions, winning precious development time for the Alliance.
In terms of culture, Xie Huanyue personally took the field, bringing free values and branding his free figure into the eyes of countless people. Striking while the iron was hot, the Eden Alliance vigorously encouraged academic research and cultural innovation, establishing multiple academies and research institutions, attracting numerous scholars and artists to come and settle down.
For a time, various cultural enterprises within the Alliance flourished. Various ideas collided with each other, birthing many new cultural achievements. This cultural prosperity not only enriched the spiritual life of the common people but also injected a powerful spiritual driving force into the Alliance's development.
It could be said that the development of the Douluo Continent's civilization over the past ten thousand years was not as great as the progress made in these few years.
As time passed, the influence of the Eden People's Governing Alliance grew increasingly powerful, becoming a paradise on the Douluo Continent and attracting countless people to come and join. Under the leadership of Huo Yuhao's partners, the people of the Eden Alliance lived happy and stable lives, truly realizing the dream of becoming the masters of their country—
After sending his children to Satan Academy, Huo Yuhao stood alone on the roof of the former Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, gazing at the great nation he had single-handedly brought about, his heart filled with myriad emotions.
The only fly in the ointment was that he here was merely a divine thought clone, unable to see all of this with his own true eyes.
"Husband, so you're here." Zhongli Yu seemed to have a radar for him equipped on her body, always able to accurately find his location. She walked to his side with her plump, long legs.
"Yu'er, tell me, does this count as me having done something for this continent?" Huo Yuhao pulled her into his embrace and murmured.
"Yes, Husband, you are too amazing." Zhongli Yu casually leaned against his chest, giggling.
"I was just lucky to have once seen a golden age." Huo Yuhao gently stroked her beautiful hair. "Why did you come back from the frontlines?"
"Wu Feng and Yun'er have both broken through to Quasi-God. Nothing will happen on Ju Zi's side, so I came back." Zhongli Yu smiled beautifully.
"I've decided. If the crisis you have a premonition about really arrives, I will inherit the Asura God position."
