Chapter 1207: New World Order
In the hunters' estimation, to unify the three thousand worlds, you would have to start with one world and merge all others into it. Subsequently, you would have to fuse the combined will of the world with the fragmented will of the third realm.
Doing so would consolidate the will of the third realm and make it whole once more.
The draconian sage quickly understood what Zhang Lie was getting at. "You intend on having the land simultaneously controlled by four superior forces?"
Zhang Lie nodded. "We'll establish a federation of the third realm patterned after the united world federation of the Milky Way. Each of the four forces will have a veto available to them; the federation members will be composed of the wills of the world who voluntarily handed us their proofs of kingship. This will be the post-crisis gubernatorial structure."
These kings' contributions in a time of crisis would win them authority in the new world order.
Yun Bing asked, "What about us?"
Zhang Lie replied, "The four prime races of the Milky Way will have one seat each, as will each of you."
Sun Xiaowu seemed rather displeased. "I don't want to deal with all that humdrum."
"You can choose not to," Zhang Lie replied, "but still keep your seat in the federation. After all, we're going to be leaving for the fourth realm soon enough. You can skive off and do nothing, but you need the power to act if it becomes necessary to prevent the federation from imploding.
"The prime minister will be chosen from among the world at large, with the exclusion of the four superior forces, in order to prevent them from forming an oligopoly over the rest of the world. The prime minister will serve for a 10-year term, and then a new one will be chosen by election."
"A democratic parliament..." Sun Mengmeng murmured.
For Zhang Lie to have devised such a scheme in the third realm... was the era of monarchy about to be replaced by a democracy?
The multicolored dragon scales rapidly covered up Zhu's body.
As the members of Team Zenith discussed the new world, Zhu raised her arms up high, holding the multicolored dragon scale. Above her head, constellations of proofs of kingship shone like stars. The proofs of kingship fell toward the multicolored dragon scale like flaring meteors, melding into it.
The multicolored scale grew larger and larger, enveloping the whole palace in starry light.
As more proofs of kingship stacked up together, the light condensed into the form of a tower.
Within the draconian world, it was possible to see all sorts of images briefly flashing by the horizon, like a moon that had appeared before dusk. The draconian world was filled with those images.
The worlds bypassed the spatial rift and quickly merged with the draconian world. The growing will of the world transformed into a multicolored dragon that soared into the sky and flew over the border of the draconian world.
Every world in the third realm had been affected by the spatial rift to some degree, and the resulting void storm was grinding the small worlds down.
Even medium-sized worlds were affected against their will. All the aliens and genetic lifeforms were scoured by the spatial rift, and only large worlds were able to survive intact.
No alien continued to grumble about the merging of various worlds—they all realized that Zhang Lie wasn't lying to them.
Countless worlds, large and small alike, were drifting toward the draconian world through a spatial rift.
The multicolored dragon continuously rushed into the different worlds and devoured their respective wills of the world. Upon doing so, the barrier between those worlds and the draconian world was removed, and the worlds formally melded together.
The more wills the dragon devoured, the larger it grew.
Just then, two huge shadows appeared by the horizon of the draconian world: the Zongming and scaleman worlds.
Li Zongming stood at the top of his palace and watched the two worlds drift closer together. He sighed. "It's finally time..."
It wasn't clear whether he was sighing because the third realm was being rescued, or because his hard work with the Zongming world was now all for naught.
The scaleman king, former crown prince, and a group of senior officials were slowly watching the scaleman world approach the draconian world.
"It's finally begun."
The scaleman king also sighed, perhaps because his realm was saved or because he could now avoid his odious position as king of the realm.
The scaleman king turned. "Brother, once the new world is formed, you'll be the next king."
The crown prince was shaken by his brother's words.
As the worlds grew closer and closer to the draconian world, they began to meld with it. The multicolored dragon grew larger and larger, almost to the point of fatness.
The Zongming world and scaleman world gradually got close. The wills of their respective worlds appeared, and the multicolored dragon fought in an attempt to suck them up.
In the end, thanks to Zhu's help, the dragon was able to suppress the Zongming world and scaleman world's wills.
As the draconian world melded with the two superior worlds, the dragon suddenly experienced a growth spurt and became even wider and longer than before.
The moment the draconian world absorbed the two other superior worlds, it began to shake violently.
The fact that the three remaining superior worlds had now been combined heralded the start of a whole new era.
The dragon was still swooping down to various worlds and devouring their wills, growing larger all the while—from the size of a normal dragon to that of a veritable orb of a dragon.
Within the orb, the wills of various worlds could be seen floating around.
The dragon continued to devour will after will. More worlds merged into the draconian world, not heeding the spatial rift in the vicinity.
The draconian world merged with the two other superior worlds and almost four thousand different wills of the world in all. Genetic energy suffused it.
A dragon's howl echoed through the new world as Zhu's strength rose explosively beyond the level of a superior king. Even the members of Team Zenith felt threatened by Zhu's newfound strength. The multicolored dragon swooped down and combined with Zhu's body. A barrier of world's energy shimmered into existence around him. More and more layers formed, until Zhu looked as though she were in the center of a large egg.
The egg gave off glowing light, brighter than even the sun overhead.
Runes danced over their vision as the world transformed. The strength that had resulted from the merger formed a loop around the world, and light continued to glow from the heavens.
