Chapter 813 Lawrend's Demon Government Proposal
Lawrend nodded his head in satisfaction. This place was already vacated. The previous owner was dead, and his subjects were subsequently kicked out by the other Heaven Demons.
They could only stew in their anger as there was no Heaven Demon to answer their grievances. Thus, most of them decided to transfer and become members of the other Heaven Demons.
The Demon Pillar was very spacious. There were so many floors Lawrend didn't even bother to count. What was important was that there was enough space for his whole group.
The demon woman led Lawrend only to his living quarters. It was a spacious room with the faint scent of flowers. It was relaxing, and it cleared the mind of any distracting thoughts.
The bed was as good as the ones Lawrend had when he stayed in Ember's Juvenile Mansion. It was already good enough for a bed in the Demon World.
Lawrend crossed his legs and closed his eyes. He went back through his recent battle and looked for any mistakes he made.
A few hours quickly passed, and it became nighttime.
Lawrend opened his eyes and looked out of the balcony. The reddish dark sky that was unique to the Demon World was still the same as ever.
The world had changed, but the skies did not.
Lawrend stood up and walked over to the desk and sat in front of it. There was an empty book left there, and he used it to write a series of changes to make the demon world better.
First, he wanted a centralized government with divisions that focused on certain aspects of life. These divisions would be tasked with improving the lives of demons and finding new technologies to increase their strength.
Second, he wanted a strength-based government. Democracy was out of the question in the demon world. No one would listen to a weakling.
Third, he wanted the leftover Heaven Demons to keep track of major events in the Demon World. They would settle resolutions by suggesting them and voting on the best one.
Fourth, he wanted the demons to 'steal' technology from the human race. They were severely lacking in magic technology, and that had big effects on their social development.
Fifth, he wanted the demons to follow all of his orders. As long as he was alive, he was the ruler.
To create this loyalty, Lawrend was willing to share some of his secrets with them. Lawrend might be a human, but he had no attachment to the human race as a whole.
In his opinion, as long as his children lived, they would preserve the human race. If they lost to the demon race, that was their problem in the future.
Lawrend's goal at the moment was to defeat the Goddess. He wanted to become free once again. It was a struggle that would never end unless he gathered every bit of strength he could.
Sixth, he wanted there to be peace in the demon world. Anyone could take high government positions by challenging the current ruler. This would ensure that the whole demon race could focus on development.
Lawrend added some more minor details and finally closed the book. He looked out the balcony and noticed that the sun was starting to rise.
"That was fast," Lawrend muttered to himself in surprise.
He focused on thinking and writing he didn't notice the passage of time.
Lawrend brought the book with him and left the room. He immediately noticed Aezel waiting for him.
"Master, good morning," Aezel said.
"Good morning, indeed. Come with me. You will be my secretary," Lawrend said and threw the book at her.
Aezel caught it with her arms and looked at him puzzledly.
They left the demon pillar and landed on the meeting table at the center. Lawrend waved his hand and used magic to control the carved rock. He made his chair higher than the others.
"Come here."
Lawrend used his magic and transmitted his voice to the Heaven Demons.
Krives, Anatalia, Majia, Precipity, Constantine, Sanaka, Terrisia, Lalatina, and Olina heard him and rushed out. They didn't want to be the last one to arrive as Lawrend might interpret that as them being disrespectful on purpose.
The nine of them sat around Lawrend. They noticed his higher seat and turned a blind eye to it. They might not like it, but it was already a fact that they wouldn't be able to defeat Lawrend without paying a high price.
"Is something the matter?" Sanaka asked.
Sanaka became the figurehead because Krives was too embarrassed to lead them again after she ordered their surrender. Sanaka was also the oldest which made it easier for the others to adjust.
"Aezel, give it to them," Lawrend ordered.
Aezel, who was standing behind him, walked forward and placed the book on the table. Their eyes landed on it in curiosity.
Sanaka looked at the others and took it. Since no one objected, she decided to read it first.
She went through it in a few minutes and took a deep breath. She put the book down and passed it to the next person.
Each of the Heaven Demons took turns reading the book. After half an hour, all of them were done.
They turned their heads to look at each other and started talking to each other using magic. This was an important matter, and they didn't want Lawrend to interfere with their discussion.
But of course, Lawrend could easily tap into their conversation. The only reason he didn't was that he didn't care.
After a while, they stopped simultaneously.
Lawrend's proposal was very good. It was too good, in fact, that the Heaven Demons found it hard to resist agreeing. The only problem was the fifth one.
Demons were prideful beings. It would be hard to make them listen to the whims of one man, even if he was as strong as Lawrend.
"What if we keep you out of the equation?" Sanaka said.
Technically, they didn't need Lawrend to implement all of the good changes.
