Chapter 1088 The Agent of the Sand Clock
After announcing the reconstruction of Hellas, Yulia did not continue to make announcements.
Instead, she paused and looked around.
In a softer, gentler tone, she whispered:
"My friends, I believe that... all the disasters we have suffered so far are due to imbalance.
"Even if a noble breaks the law, they will not be tried or will only be punished. Many high-ranking professions can only accept nobles as employees.
Many people are born into the position of councilors who decide the fate of their nation without having to do anything. Even in Avalon, there is a distinction between the founding families and the knight families. In some countries, the nobility will only accept less or close to zero taxes, while the common people will bear more taxes.
"In many countries, including Avalon, simply becoming a transcendent of a certain path can result in surveillance and even arrest. He may have committed no crime, and there may be nothing wrong with his heritage or profession. Simply because a related path is prevalent in a neighboring or enemy nation, he could be a spy—even though we all know there's no direct connection.
“In some countries, when royal power is corrupted, the monarch is replaced, or even ruled by someone who kills the king and exterminates the royal family, the people below will obey the corresponding orders simply because the usurper wears the crown... even if the purpose of the order itself is to drive the country into the abyss..."
Having said that, Yulia glanced at the Princess of Star Antimony. She was already the Queen of Star Antimony, but now she still lowered her head in sadness.
Yulia turned around and looked at everyone: "I think all this is due to the imbalance in the world!"
The girl in a white robe and with pure white hair shone brightly under the gaze of everyone.
Yulia's ruby-like eyes blazed like the sun as she declared repeatedly, "From today on, the New Helasar Empire will be unified within three months.
"In the new Helasar Empire, there will be no more nobility, no more privileges!"
People stared at Yulia in amazement.
Things are even bigger than they thought -
What about the agents of the Sand Clock? Did they witness the coronation of a female empress, the founder of a new empire?
But...it's already an empire, how could there be no nobles?
How could the problems she mentioned be realized?
In response to Yulia, the dark golden glow of the Sand Clock descended from the sky!
"In the name of Sand Clock, I declare—
"In the new Heracle Empire, all citizens will be able to hold any profession or position without distinction, except for differences in virtue and talent.
"All taxes shall be shared equally among all citizens according to their ability;"
"Everyone is equal before the law! The same law does not discriminate against people!"
With every word Yulia spoke, more radiance accumulated in her.
As a "Pioneer," Yulia was essentially a reserve apostle of the Sand Clock. As soon as she died, she would immediately become an apostle of the Sand Clock... just like how Queen Sophia was taken away by the Knights of the Silver Crown Dragon upon her death.
The number of pioneers is overwhelmingly rare—
Each pioneer, driven by the mission of "opening up the world's possibilities," is the visible hand of the Sand Clock, driving the development of the times and controlling the orderly evolution of the world. Therefore, their relationship may even be closer than that between the Pillar God and the Cardinal!
Essentially, a Cardinal acts as a messenger for the Pillar God and an agent for certain tasks in the material world, much like a boss's secretary. A Pioneer, on the other hand, is like a Sand Clock opening a shop and hiring a manager to manage it. While the former possesses greater authority, the latter enjoys greater freedom, more tasks, and more funding.
And having the support of Sand Clock means having the support of the Church.
"The New Herasil Empire is a nation built under the collective protection of the Nine Pillars, led by the Sand Clock, the Candle Master, and the Silver Crown Dragon, and supervised and protected by the Eternal Church. It is a nation established by all citizens under the three principles of 'fairness and harmony,' 'comprehensive happiness,' and 'the authority of the law.' All citizens have national sovereignty!"
Yulia said loudly, "From now on, in the New Herasil Empire, the royal family will only serve as priests and agents connecting to the gods. They will communicate with the gods and their apostles on behalf of the people, and convey guiding opinions to the cabinet, parliament, or all citizens.
"The Imperial Household consists of a cabinet of the Emperor or Empress. Cabinet members are elected by the Diet, which in turn is elected by all citizens. Elections are held every five years, based on the Sacred Numbers of the Sand Hour.
"No group or individual may take any action not expressly authorized by the people; no group or individual should be arrested, charged, or imprisoned without violating any law; anyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
"Everyone has the right to property security and personal freedom. No one's property can be deprived by anyone unless it is clearly against the law; freedom is defined as any behavior that does not harm the psychological, physical health, social reputation and property security of others.
"The laws and taxes of the Empire are based on the principle of minimalism and strictness. Only actions that endanger others and society are prohibited by law; anything not prohibited by law is permitted. Every citizen has the right to participate, either personally or through their authorized representatives, in the formulation, amendment, and repeal of laws. Every citizen must study the legal provisions they may come into contact with. No one, including the Emperor or Empress, may forcibly prevent or approve the creation or repeal of a new law...
"Everyone has the right to a minimum level of training. Before mastering the basic and necessary labor skills, the cost of training will be borne by the royal family. Any extraordinary person who intends to master the power of the Tao must study within a legal institution; or after becoming an extraordinary person, promptly go to an official organization to register their Tao, level, and profession.
The Empire reveres the Nine Pillars, headed by the Three Pillars, and holds large-scale sacrificial ceremonies annually on public holidays. However, worship of any Pillar, Celestial Official, Apostle, or other Dreamworldly beings is not prohibited unless such behavior clearly undermines the three key elements of 'fairness and harmony,' 'overall happiness,' and 'legal authority.'
"The Empire allows any foreigner who recognizes and acknowledges the three elements and swears to respect the Imperial culture, master the Imperial language, accept the Imperial laws, and reside within the Imperial territory to join.
"The Empire requires that all administrative operations be archived and handed over to the Dream Realm for safekeeping; all administrative personnel must promptly report their work to their superiors; the costs, benefits, completion rates, and personnel transfers and appointments of all administrative work must be publicly disclosed..."
Against the backdrop of the dark golden light of the sand clock, every word of Yulia's words was filled with divine sound.
As Yulia spoke, golden runes emerged around her, imprinted on her flawless white dress, faintly revealing a majestic and sacred pressure. Even all the extraordinary people felt that their available power was being suppressed.
——That is the power of “pioneers”.
As the Balancer, the divine power that keeps the world in balance—
...Even though Aiwass already knew what Yulia was going to do, he felt as if he was in another world for a moment.
Is this Yulia's invention?
The real reason why she was recognized by Sand Clock...
An invention that can drive the development of the times, open up new possibilities for the world, and promote the order of the world - this indeed meets the conditions for Sand Clock to select an apostle.
Aiwass took a deep breath and stared at the blue sky in the distance. Isabelle hugged his arm and touched his hand with her eyes lowered to comfort him.
...Huantiansi.
Aiwass's lips moved slightly, uttering silent words.
"Are you watching? You should be here. How could you not come on such a big day?
"Yulia, whom you murdered and abandoned...did you ever imagine that she would have such a future?
"Has this ever happened in the future you've seen?"
——After seeing this scene, have you ever seen a brand new future?
I felt really bad the day before yesterday and I was sick. Today I have a headache, sore eyes and a sore throat, but I still managed to write a chapter. At least I can't take consecutive days off...
But this month's full attendance should have been sent (peaceful)
Oh, and cats made it into this year's top 100! (Chest puffed out) (pictured)
