Mo Tianyun slowly closed his eyes and immediately sat cross-legged on the spot.
At this moment, his protective and benevolent hearts, two qualities of a strong person, began to undergo an initial transformation.
Since Mo Tianyun became the Grand Elder, he has fulfilled a wish he had silently made long ago.
Before becoming a cosmic powerhouse, Mo Tianyun set a goal for himself: to first become the strongest person in the Oron Empire and make his name resound throughout the entire Oron Empire!
With the conclusion of this inauguration ceremony, Mo Tianyun's wish was finally fulfilled.
This goal had bound Mo Tianyun like shackles, but now that he had fulfilled it, he felt much lighter and more at ease. Perhaps this was a kind of spiritual elevation.
Mo Tianyun's spiritual power suddenly surged, enveloping the planet where the Imperial Northern Military Base headquarters was located and the nearby deep space of the universe. This spiritual power erupted with earth-shattering might, causing many powerful figures from the commoner faction to tremble in fear.
"This spiritual power is so tangible, it's making it hard for me to breathe! Who on earth is emitting this power? Could it be that an enemy has invaded?"
"Quickly establish a defensive posture, and simultaneously intensify reconnaissance efforts!"
Several high-ranking officers guarding the imperial border immediately teleported their combat mechs and stood ready for battle.
Generally speaking, when a strong person in the military releases their spiritual power, it indicates that something big is about to happen. These experienced veteran officers are very skilled at this.
Soon the officers were informed that nothing serious had happened and it was just a false alarm.
"This kid seems to have made another breakthrough in his spiritual power. I wonder if he's crossed a major or minor realm?"
Kore looked at Mo Tianyun, his eyes filled with undisguised envy.
He was once known as the empire's most talented person, and breakthroughs were as easy as drinking water for him.
But after seeing Mo Tianyun's lightning-fast progress, Corey felt like a small fry compared to a big fish!
Kore had never heard of the speed at which Mo Tianyun broke through. His progress could not be described as simple as drinking water; it should be described as as easy as breathing!
"No, from today onwards I will also work hard to cultivate and strive to reach the strength of a Grand Elder as soon as possible!"
Kore also secretly resolved to train hard from now on.
Elder Darren Jonah, whose strength had been restored, was also stationed at the Imperial Northern Military Headquarters. He was not surprised to see that Mo Tianyun's mental power had increased again.
Because Mo Tianyun, his third disciple, always manages to give him unexpected surprises!
A day later, Mo Tianyun slowly opened his eyes and looked at the clear and observable world. He used his mental power to detect that tiny particles such as gases and dust were floating in the air.
If Mo Tianyun wished, he could even use his mental power to penetrate into the smallest particles that make up any matter in the surrounding environment.
It can also change the structure of matter, disrupting and combining it into new substances!
However, he is not yet very proficient in using his mental power, and it will take him a long time to use it to create new matter!
According to the information obtained from the core of the miracle, once one's spiritual power reaches the "limitless" level and one becomes a powerful being in the universe, one can even create things out of thin air and modify space!
Especially its ability to modify space makes it practically a human-shaped spatial teleportation portal!
Moreover, it's a galaxy-level space teleportation channel!
At that time, without using the "Mind's Desire" technique, one could instantly traverse distances of light-years!
Cosmic powerhouses of this level already possess the ability to explore the universe, traversing galaxies one after another and reaching star clusters one after another. They can even spend tens of thousands of years traveling from one supercluster to the nearest other supercluster!
"When I resolved to protect the common people of the Oron Empire, when I sincerely wanted to use my increased strength to give them a better life, my protective and kind heart underwent a transformation!"
Mo Tianyun felt the improvement in his mental strength and thought to himself.
"Tianyun!"
Elder Darren Jonah flashed and appeared directly in front of Mo Tianyun.
"Master, is there anything you need to tell me?"
"Tianyun, do you still remember me?"
"Your servant? Your servant!"
Mo Tianyun thought for 0.001 seconds and remembered a marshal-level expert named Nuxia that he had encountered in that special virtual world.
In his spiritual imprint, Mo Tianyun deeply felt the hatred of the nobles for oppressing the common people, and felt more about the hardships of the common people's lives!
But that's just how the world is: the strong rule the weak, and the law of the jungle prevails. This is an unchanging natural law, whether in the Oron Empire or throughout the entire universe!
"Yes, of course I remember him. What happened to my Marshal?"
Mo Tianyun asked.
“This servant is no longer a marshal, he is now the Grand Marshal, but… he has been sent by that old fellow Elder Byron Peckin to defend the defensive line closest to the Zerg battlefield.”
"He pleaded with me in his message, wanting you to order him to be transferred back to the north of the empire for defense!"
Elder Darren Jonah took out his personal microcomputer and opened a light screen, which displayed the dispatch request information sent by the Grand Marshal of the Slave.
Originally, Elder Darren Jonah had the authority to mobilize any Grand Marshal at will, but after his strength weakened, Emperor Oron stripped him of his power to retire and ordered him to go back to recuperate.
Emperor Oron's implication was that Elder Darren Jonah should retire and no longer interfere in the affairs of the empire.
In the eyes of Emperor Oron and most of the empire's powerful figures, an elder who no longer possesses the strength of a Grand Elder is not worthy of continuing to hold Grand Elder-level administrative power!
Because strength and power are mutually matched, a strong person with strength but no power will not obey the management of a weak person, while a weak person with power but no strength will not be obeyed by a strong person!
"Okay, it's just a dispatch order, no problem!"
As Mo Tianyun spoke, he took out his personal micro-brain and used his Grand Elder-level authority to coordinate military defense with his subordinate Grand Marshal.
The Grand Marshal of the Slave, who was far away on the edge of the Zerg battlefield, had been very anxious these past two days. Why hadn't Elder Mo Tianyun transferred him back to the north yet?
It has been more than a day since Elder Mo Tianyun's inauguration ceremony ended. Logically speaking, we should have known about his request long ago. So why hasn't he been transferred back to the northern defense of the empire?
Staying on this Zerg battlefield would be extremely dangerous; you could lose your head at any moment!
So how could the Grand Marshal not be anxious?
"Elder Mo Tianyun, don't you even care about your own people? I've risked my life for the commoners' faction for many years. Even if I haven't made any great contributions, I've certainly put in a lot of hard work!"
"Elder Mo Tianyun, I beg you, please send out the military dispatch order immediately!"
The Grand Marshal was extremely anxious; he kept his AI screen on constantly, waiting online!
At one point, the Grand Marshal had just taken a sip of water when he turned around and was pleasantly surprised to find an additional military mobilization order.
The sender of the message, the person who granted him the authority, was none other than Mo Tianyun, whom he had been longing for.
"With the authority of the Grand Elder, I hereby formally order my subordinate Grand Marshal to immediately return to the northern defensive front of the Empire for defense!"
Date: July 22nd, Year 41, Mo Tianyun!
This is the content of military dispatch information.
The Grand Marshal immediately accepted the military orders; he didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place for even a second longer!
Originally, it was the elders of the noble faction who were guarding this place, but that damned old man, Elder Byron Peckin, actually sent someone like him, whose strength had just reached the level of Grand Marshal, to guard this godforsaken place. He really knows how to thank him!
Fortunately, Mo Tianyun became the Grand Elder of the Empire, which gave him hope. From today onwards, he will say goodbye to this place.
Byron Peckin and Mo Tianyun are both Grand Elders of the Empire and have the power to mobilize a Grand Marshal. However, when faced with orders from both Grand Elders and a power conflict, the Grand Marshal has the right to choose to obey the orders of one of the Grand Elders.
Therefore, the Grand Marshal can now finally leave this most dangerous defensive line and return to the north of the empire, back to the place belonging to their civilian faction.
The main planet of the Oron Empire, the Oron Academy for Genius Mecha Pilots.
Lord Larenx Tavia, Dean Larenx Evelina, Chief Dean Adrian Carmen, Dean Opens Vede, and Dean Gustav Prie also watched Mo Tianyun's inauguration ceremony together.
Although they already knew of Mo Tianyun's strength, they were still amazed by it.
Gustav Prie, in particular, now deeply regrets his arrogant and rude behavior when Mo Tianyun came to the academy for further studies. He wonders what he would do if Mo Tianyun remembered.
In fact, Gustav Prie's worries were completely unnecessary, because he and Mo Tianyun were no longer on the same level, and the two would never cross paths again.
Within the university.
Byron Theresa, Adrian O'Connor, Chu Xuanyu, Prescott O'Man, Sugar Princess, Witch Kaka and other trainees also watched Mo Tianyun's inauguration ceremony via live broadcast.
When these trainees saw Mo Tianyun become the Grand Elder of the Empire, they were all amazed and found it unbelievable!
Of course, some students from the noble faction already knew that Mo Tianyun had become the Grand Elder of the Empire, but they were still very surprised!
After this inauguration ceremony concluded, the entire Oron Empire knew the name Mo Tianyun.
Especially in the northern part of the empire, Mo Tianyun's fame spread even more rapidly. In just a few days, even three-year-old children knew the name of Elder Mo Tianyun.
Importantly, since Mo Tianyun's inauguration ceremony, the living standards of ordinary people in the northern part of the empire have improved at a visible rate.
The most direct result was that, under Mo Tianyun's command, the northern part of the empire swiftly seized all assets controlled by nobles.
These assets include essential goods related to people's livelihoods such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation, as well as control of schools in education, and even certain important industries...
Furthermore, Mo Tianyun ordered the prices of these essential goods to be lowered to a reasonable level, so that ordinary people could afford them, buy more, and buy better quality goods!
Now, the lives of hundreds of millions of ordinary people are gradually improving, and they are slowly becoming more able to receive education.
At the same time, Mo Tianyun also issued a notice to all enterprises in the northern part of the empire, ordering them to raise the wages of civilians and set a minimum wage...
In conclusion, all of Mo Tianyun's policies were beneficial to ordinary people.
These policies are no joke, because they are Mo Tianyun's directives to the northern part of the empire, and they are a promise to all the common people, to be implemented in a concrete and comprehensive manner in every aspect!
If anyone on the northern colony planet of the Empire disobeys orders, whether they are nobles, large corporations, or large organizations, they will be met with a swift and decisive takeover by the military, leaving no room for redemption!
According to the AI statistics of the Northern Military Headquarters of the Empire, in the entire northern region of the Empire, the assets belonging to the noble factions account for 89.% of all assets in the entire northern region of the Empire, excluding those of the Imperial government.
In other words, in the northern part of the empire, the assets owned by the imperial nobles accounted for about nine-tenths!
Despite the fact that there are far more commoners than nobles, and even more commoners than nobles, it is laughable that all the commoners combined own less than one-ninth of the assets of the nobles!
It is easy to imagine how vast the wealth of the nobility was, and how rich they were.
On the contrary, the lives of ordinary people were very difficult, and most of them were very poor.
The reason for the emergence of aristocratic rule was that when Emperor Aulong established the Aulong Empire, he had already formulated a set of rules for the operation of society, namely a series of policies that granted positions and power according to merit.
Anyone who makes a contribution to the empire can earn merit, and the military merit points of imperial soldiers and mech pilots are a type of merit.
Combat mech pilots are powerful, and with the later invasion of the Zerg, they are the easiest to gain merits. Moreover, as the strength of combat mech pilots increases, the merits they gain also increase.
Which high-ranking official in the empire today isn't a mech pilot?
Among mech pilots, combat mech pilots hold the highest status, followed by mech manufacturers, and finally mech parts engineers and mech repair engineers.
A chief mecha engineer like Adrian Carmen holds a position in the Oron Empire that is no less than that of an imperial elder.
Even the Imperial Elders had to beg Chief Adrian Carmen to build them mechs!
If Chief Adrian Carmen is in a bad mood, he has the right to refuse even an Imperial Elder's request to help manufacture combat mechs.
Therefore, these four professions belonging to the mecha pilots are the highest-level professions in the empire.
A mech pilot, regardless of their rank—including ordinary combat mech pilot, junior mech manufacturer, junior mech repairman, or junior mech parts technician—holds a very high status in the society of the Oron Empire and is respected by ordinary people.
Especially after the Zerg invasion, the mech pilots were the main force in fighting against the Zerg invasion. They made a huge contribution to protecting the empire's territory, which made the mech pilots' social status even more extraordinary.
This has led to the current situation in the Oron Empire, a society ruled by the strong!
