THE SUPREME HEAVENLY SYSTEM
Chapter 319 - A Little Child
Arriving in the drought-affected region after a day's journey with the imperial Profound Ark, Bai Chen and his entourage were greeted by the City King and obtained pageantry by all the people of the city.
After getting all the reports from the City King and Demon King Wang Brothers regarding the drought that hit most of the region directly, the, Bai Chen could draw a conclusion that it was most likely due to the sudden climate change in the region.
Bai Chen then made a speech in the city square and was heard by all the people who were in the city, “Oe my people, although you will all soon get your rights regarding this drought, he said, but there's one thing I asked..”.
“Do all of you want to become a high-level cultivator, so that food and drink will no longer be a meaningful obstacle for you? If you want, the empire will provide a martial sect here to house all of your talents?”
“Mau .. mau .. mau ..” Most of all the people agreed, but there was a little boy who was noticed by Bai Chen, he broke away from his mother's sling and approached Bai Chen.
“No want! I don't want to be such a bad guy, you! It's better that I become an ordinary person who benefits others, than to have to become a high-level, haughty cultivator like you guys!”
The little boy dared to say words that were not worthy of being heard by an emperor, even though from his eyes already signified the presence of overwhelming sorrow and hatred for a cultivator.
The little boy's mother looked terrified when she saw her son say such words to the number one person in the empire that was the emperor himself, “Pardon the servant's son, Your Majesty. If you want to punish, punish me,” said the mother while hugging her child.
“How dare you say something inappropriate to Demon Emperor Bai Chen, you know the punishment for a person who does not respect the emperor is not it, that is death!” One of the guards wanted to hit the little boy's mother.
“Stop! Who told you to do that?” Bai Chen shouted loudly to the point of making the bodyguard who wanted to hit the mother faint instantly, “It is only fitting that this child says the cultivator is an arrogant one.”.
“King City! Answer my question! Did the Demon King Wang brothers ever tell you to recruit people like this?”
“No?”
“Do you get orders from the emperor directly until you dare to do things that your own Governor did not order?”
“No, forgive me..”.
“Please leave your post, Demon King Wang Brothers take care of this matter, I will talk to that little boy.”
“Good, Your Highness.”
Bai Chen approached the little boy and his mother who had been frightened earlier, whereas the Demon King Wang brothers had already taken care of the City King and those arrogant-leaning guards back to the City King's residence and had all of them there.
“Hei little boy, may I give you a suggestion?” Bai Chen crouched down in order to see the little boy's face clearly. The little boy was a little frightened by Bai Chen because he had felt such a strong pressure that he had knocked the bodyguard unconscious.
“Do not be afraid, I will not do anything unjust to my own people. Come closer to the little boy.” Bai Chen opened his hands wide so that the little boy would be carried away.
His mother hesitated, but eventually allowed her son to get closer to the emperor. And now the little boy was already in Bai Chen's arms comfortably.
“Now I want to ask, do you want to protect your mother?”
“Then how do you protect your mother from bad people?”
“I'll kick all the bad guys with both hands.”
“Only with such tiny hands, the criminals will not be kapok, what if doing as I did earlier, did it not look cooler?”
“Indeed cool, but I don't want to use my power to oppress others, I just want to make everyone live a happy life and be able to smile at any time.”
Bai Chen smiled at the naivety of the little boy, then he continued, “Then how can you protect your mother and be able to gain strength like I did earlier?”
The little boy seemed to be thinking hard, Bai Chen smiled for a while and continued, “In this world we live in, strength is everything, if you do not want to be oppressed then you must be strong and become a cultivator who can protect all the things that are important to you, do not let others seize what is important in your life, and the only way is to become a cultivator.”
After a few more pieces of advice from Bai Chen, the little brat seemed to still think hard, the conclusion he could draw from everything was, the stronger he was, the more he was, she can take care of her mother and all her friends later in life.
“Then I will become a good cultivator and protect everyone.” The little boy grimaced, but then his face changed.
“Then I apologize for accusing Your Majesty of no-no, from now on I will make you my idol forever, is it okay?” said the little boy innocently.
“Of course you can..” Bai Chen smiled and then let go of his sling and gave the little boy back to his mother, he then continued his speech earlier regarding the formation of a sect for everyone's place of learning.
‘Creating an empire is not easy, especially how to create an empire that has a good and honorable civilization, one way is to make everyone able to study in the sect without seeing status.’
‘I will not make the same mistake as the days of the previous great clans who only allowed their respective noble families or pure races to be able to access all knowledge.’
‘Thank you to all the ministers, demon lords and my two wives who have reminded me of this, I will create a most advanced civilization in the Devil Realm, he said, before I bring this realm back into being and join the God Realm.’
Bai Chen then instantly resolved and solved the problem of the region with the help of a system where he obtained superior seeds and could thrive even with little water.
Not only that Bai Chen also directly built the First Heavenly Devil Sect which became the learning and knowledge base of all the people who were under the imperial rule.
All that was done for several months finally all returned to normal and now Bai Chen and all his entourage returned to the Palace and planned to open up sects in each region.
Well, upon arriving at the Imperial Palace instead of being able to rest, Bai Chen instead got information regarding the whereabouts of Patriarch Cai from one of his shadows, “It turns out that we are hiding in the coastal region of Demon King Deng Fennu, who is the only one in the world, wait for me in a minute.”
*SPLASH!
Bai Chen instantly disappeared and made all of his entourage that had just gotten confused.
