The Path Of The Great Sovereign - Chapter 140

1 Hour before sunrise on coronation day Tatsuo was seated at a dining room table in his room at the Hotel. Around him where the key members necessary to make his stance resonate with the people as they were names everyone knew. The Head of The Clear Sky Clan, The Howling Sky Douluo Tang Xiao, The Head of The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, The Lightning Douluo Yu Luomian, The Head of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Ning Fangzhi accompanied by the Sword Douluo Chen Xin. The Heads of the Subsidiary Clans, The Heads of the Major Sects, 3 Dukes from the Star Luo Empire, of course Tang Hao and little Poison Dugu Bo.

“Make sure everything goes smoothly, These Emperors have become nothing more than small pawns that will manage the day to day affairs of my lands. Of course you will all still follow proper etiquette with them to give them the illusion that they still have power however they have lost the qualifications to rule. They allowed termites to crawl into the foundations of their Empires and eat away at generations of hard work. They allowed this bug which they could have crushed beneath their feet to become a Tiger which they must treat with caution. As individuals I respect them, as rulers I abhor them, today we make history and today we begin the operation. Does everyone know what to do?”

“‘Yes Your Eminence!”‘

“Let’s begin the Grand Play”

Today as millions of citizens moved to make it to the High-Emperor’s Coronation, the person in question has already begun a massive operation. The Purpose of this operation was to uproot the Spirit hall from the ground up.

Tatsuo Mobilized all Titled Douluo under his command to move throughout both countries removing all traces of the Spirit Hall while capturing key members. For the past 4 Day they have moved quickly disrupting all operations of the Spirit Hall and have even captured a few elders along the way.

From the lowest outpost to the Headquarters itself none were spared as even Nel participated to remove some of the old fogies in seclusion including the Rank 99 Grand Elder. They all had their Cultivation sealed and were placed at the base of Sword Mountain behind the Altar prepared for Tatsuo’s coronation.

‘From the Supreme Pontiff and the Elders to the Cardinals and Holy Warriors. Religion is important to some however a religious belief should not rule your life or dictate your actions when ruling. It should not overrule your power as the Emperor because history has shown us that sometimes religion can hinder humanity rather than help it. Earth went through 1,000 years without any technological advancement all due to the church calling it witchcraft and burning people on the cross. In this case the Spirit Hall is a religious organization with Power as their God, they refuse to accept anyone not apart of the organization who reaches a high level of power rivaling their Grand Elder hindering humanities growth. Although they have extensive knowledge of spirit beasts they do not expand into other fields.’

‘The Supreme Pontiff also known as the Pope sits in a lofty position due to the hard work of others. Sure her martial prowess and leadership skills are superb, yet the organization she represents is nothing more than a front for genocidal tendencies. Entire families and bloodlines have been wiped out in the name of the Spirit Hall, Countries have come and gone destroyed by the Spirit Hall that helped build them up. The history of this world is a lot like the history of my old world, the more things change the more they stay the same huh.’

Currently Tatsuo sat on a Large throne atop an Alter below the Sword Mountain. Millions of people stood watch as the Emperors of the Star Luo and Heaven Duo Empires Placed a Crown upon his head which symbolized the start of his Reign as High-Emperor.

“Born under the Stars, Son of the Heavens, Lord of the Night, We Crown you the one above. The Overseer of life and the dictator of death. Your right hand can summon the clouds while your left brings rain. High-Emperor of these lands, His Eminence Tatsuo Shiba.”

When the Crown touched his scalp Tatsuo rose and waved his hands at the people. Cheering resounded through the skies, as the earlier prisoners were brought before the altar by the Clan heads of Heaven Duo and the Dukes of Star Luo.

“My Citizens, throughout your lives you were told what was a Trash Spirit and what was not. You have been lectured on the acceptable way to do things by people who truly did not have your best intentions in mind. Sure they handed out small compensation for certain spirit cultivators yet if you reached Spirit King you were required to pledge yourselves to this very organization to acquire more knowledge and compensation. While this of course is completely optional for some with less optimal talent and spirits, those with High talents have been forced into this very organization.”

“We have found evidence that this continent wide organization has used nefarious ways to acquire what they wanted. They have even killed entire families down to the small children to prevent this secret from getting out. They have prevented Titled Douluo from surpassing their Grand Elder and achieving the famed God Status. These crimes are those of the Spirit Hall.”

Tatsuo’s words caused an uproar in the crowd as many expressed disbelief while some were victims of the Spirit Halls deeds.

“My First act as High-Emperor is to abolish the Spirit Hall. The Imperial Realm of the Night will now offer the same stipend to Spirit Cultivators as before plus the ones Spirit King and above. At the Rank of Spirit King you have a choice to make, continue receiving a Stipend or recieve a Noble title in my Night Realm where resources will be provided. As a Noble in my Directly controlled territories your status will be higher than that of a Noble in the Empires.”

“If your spirit is “Trash” and you are unable to Cultivate past Rank 20 or unable to cultivate at all you are also permitted to become a citizen of my realm! With our methods we can make you go as far as the World Break Douluo by my side.”

Tatsuo gestured to his left at Airi Natsume as she released her Spirit and her Spirit Rings for everyone to see. Her spirit the Combat Shovel blanketed the Sky as many looked up in disbelief as tool spirits like that were known for their inability to cultivate to that level. Yet in front of their eyes was a Titled Douluo with a “Trash” spirit, not only that but everyone could feel the oppressive force of her spirit power as her 4 Black 5 Red Spirit rings pressured them. It was like staring into the eyes of a 100,000 year old beast.

“Under my rule I will ensure my people live life to the fullest and fulfill their dreams.”

Some screamed in joy, some cried, some starred in worship, however at that moment everyone seemingly at the same time kneeled before the High-Emperor.

‘”Hail His Eminence Tatsuo Shiba! Forever May He Reign!”‘

‘Now the world will fall into my hands.’
