The top floor of the prison tower.
This area has been set up as a large plaza with a raised platform in the center and seating areas around it.
Five or six thousand ghost generals sat in the stands, while more than a hundred ghost kings sat in the front row.
These are all the ghost generals and ghost kings in the entire ghost realm.
Some smaller ghost tribes, lacking ghost generals and ghost kings, could only send out fierce ghosts to sit in the corners on either side of the stands.
All eyes were now on the high platform, where only one figure stood.
"Welcome everyone to answer my call and come here to discuss the future of the Ghost Realm."
Xia Tianqiong smiled and spoke very politely.
The tense atmosphere at the scene immediately eased considerably.
When the various cunning kings and generals heard his words, they all secretly grumbled in their hearts.
Those who didn't respond to the call were all wiped out, so who would dare not respond!
Xia Tianqiong looked around and continued, "Although I am a human, I would not have the power of a Ghost God if the Ghost Realm had not invaded the human world."
So I want to give back to the Ghost Realm. But how should I do that? I've discovered that the Ghost Realm is too chaotic and lacks order, so I've decided to help you establish a new order, providing all ghosts with a good environment where they can cultivate in peace.
In the first row of the stands below, the Three-Eyed Demon King and the Scholar were also sitting.
The Three-Eyed Demon King frowned slightly and transmitted his voice to the scholar: "Why is this kid saying such hypocritical things? Why not just announce the rules he set?"
The scholar didn't even look at him, and replied telepathically: "What do you know? If you want long-term stability and to gain more recognition, you must occupy the moral high ground. That way, no one can refute you, and everyone will feel more at ease."
The Three-Eyed Ghost King muttered, "What a hassle. If I were him, I would have all the Ghost Kings and Ghost Generals sign the Human Lord Contract and see who dares to object."
"Idiot! Do you want to be bound to him by a contract?" The scholar couldn't help but glare at him.
On the high platform, Xia Tianqiong continued speaking.
"The first step in establishing order is to establish a central management body, and then set up multiple branches to radiate throughout the Ghost Realm."
First, the central management body is called the "Heavenly Court," which has departments such as the Ministry of Government Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Supervision, the Ministry of Household Registration, the Ministry of Law Enforcement, and the Ministry of Treasury.
The Heavenly Court does not directly manage affairs in various places, but manages its branches, which are called the Underworld.
The realm of ghosts is vast, and according to the distribution of various ghost races, it is temporarily divided into eighteen major regions, each of which will have a 'Netherworld' established.
The departments established in the 'Underworld' are the same as those in the 'Heavenly Court', and they are under a vertical management system.
For example, there's the Heavenly Court's Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Finance that manages the Underworld. Branch offices continue to be established under the Underworld, striving to reach every corner of the supernatural realm, leaving no land or supernatural entity untouched.
"The first batch of positions in the Heavenly Court will be filled directly by me. Positions in the Underworld will require recommendations from your respective Ghost Clan members; individual members may also nominate themselves. The Heavenly Court's Personnel Department will then select the best candidates."
At this point, Xia Tianqiong paused slightly, observing the reactions of the Ghost General and Ghost King below the stage.
Most of them looked surprised and shocked; some were clearly dissatisfied, but others seemed very happy.
Unifying the Ghost Realm and establishing various departments will certainly benefit some large clans, but not necessarily some smaller clans.
Xia Tianqiong continued, "There are still many details regarding the establishment of various departments, which we will discuss later. Today, I will only outline the general structure. Below, I will outline a few rules that must be followed."
First, in the Ghost Realm, no more private fighting is allowed, especially between Ghost Clans. If anyone is found to be suppressing or annexing other Ghost Clans, they will be severely punished, with the maximum penalty being extermination of their clan.
Secondly, if there are conflicts between the supernatural beings, they can have a public duel under the official witness, with each person bearing the consequences of their own actions.
Third, from now on, all regions will begin large-scale infrastructure construction, building more cities to attract scattered and mysterious individuals to them. The number of cities within each 'underworld's' jurisdiction will become a performance evaluation criterion.
Fourth, if there is any connection between the human world and the realm of ghosts in the future, it is not allowed to invade at will. It must be reported to the Heavenly Court. Whether to invade and how to invade will be decided by the Heavenly Court.
Fifth, no individual ghost clan can oppress individual ghosts. A certain percentage of positions in the Underworld must be held by individual ghosts, which is also a performance evaluation task for the Underworld.
Sixth, from now on, all transactions in all regions will be taxed, and all tax revenue will be submitted to the Heavenly Court. The salaries of all positions in the Underworld will be paid by the Heavenly Court, primarily in the form of underworld gold, supplemented by underworld paper money.
Xia Tianqiong rattled off a long string of words, leaving the assembled ghost generals and kings below completely bewildered.
The realm of ghosts once had order, but never to such a detailed degree.
Thinking about it carefully, I feel that doing it this way is not bad.
The current realm of the supernatural is almost a barbaric world, where everything is determined by strength.
If things continue to develop according to Xia Tianqiong's rules, the future will be like the human world, with a highly organized civilization and order.
The weak and insignificant Gui tribe became excited upon hearing these rules.
In the past, it was common for them to be suppressed by powerful clans, and they might be wiped out at any time.
Now things are fine; the rules of the Ghost God can protect their little Ghost Clan.
What else is there to say? Of course, we should give it our full support.
As for the Great Ghost Clan, they were equally excited, seeing an opportunity for their own clan's development.
The establishment of the underworld and the appointment of various positions clearly put the Great Ghost Clan in an advantageous position, allowing them to control more power and benefits.
Thinking about it this way, I definitely have to support it!
After Xia Tianqiong spoke, the room fell silent for a moment, followed by enthusiastic applause and cheers.
Xia Tianqiong was somewhat taken aback, not expecting them to be so supportive of her.
