Chapter 614: The Devil is a Fallen God
At this moment, Lu Qing seemed like a god descending from the sky, his whole body covered with light blue light, and his handsome appearance was a unique beauty in the world.
At this time, the darkness around gradually receded, the forest returned to its original appearance, and the sunlight shone through the leaves onto the ground, as if nothing had happened.
Huo Yancheng let out a long sigh, turned his head and looked at Lu Qing, his eyes full of understanding. He whispered: "As expected, Lu Qing's strength is our greatest reliance. He is worthy of being the master personality, and he is still one step ahead."
Fan Wujiu also smiled nonchalantly: "Alright, alright, isn't it enough that we are all thanks to him this time? Otherwise, it would be really difficult for us to completely eliminate it."
Lu Qing opened his eyes, and his expression returned to his usual cold and lazy state: "It's a small matter, not worth praising. But, we have to go back to see Aye."
The three of them returned quickly, and when they returned to the room, Ah Ye had already woken up. He sat on the bed, his eyes a little dazed, but when he saw the three of them, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Uncle Huo, Uncle Fan, Brother Lu, you are back!"
Huo Yancheng walked over and gently touched his head: "Aye, how do you feel? Are you still scared?"
Ah Ye shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I just had a beautiful dream. There were many flowers and sunshine in the dream."
Lu Qing stood aside and nodded gently: "That's good."
Fan Wujiu crossed his arms and said lazily, "Little guy, don't be scared by the nightmare again. With us here, it can't cause any trouble."
Ah Ye nodded vigorously: "Yes, I will be brave!"
Jiang Luo stood outside the door, watching this scene, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that although this incident was over, there was still a long way to go in the future. He had to re-examine his attitude towards Lu Qing and could no longer escape.
He walked into the room and said to the three people in a gentle tone: "Thanks for your hard work. This time it's all thanks to you."
Lu Qing glanced at him and said with a half-smile: "Uncle Jiang, it's so rare to hear you praise us. I'm really flattered."
Jiang Luo shook his head helplessly, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes: "Lu Qing, let's have a good talk after this is completely over."
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, then he hid the distracting thoughts in his mind and nodded indifferently: "Okay, it just so happens that I also have something to say to you."
Huo Yancheng and Fan Wujiu looked at each other, and saw a hint of expectation in each other's eyes. Perhaps, this incident not only helped Ah Ye overcome his fear, but also brought a new turn to the relationship between Lu Qing and Jiang Luo.
After getting rid of the nightmare, the matter came to an end, but Jiang Luo couldn't sit still.
During the days when Lu Qing and his team were chasing the Nightmare Demon, the four small teams and the Xiuxian Academy led by Liu Tong'an also made great contributions. They restored order in several major cities around them one by one.
A dozen candidates with excellent cultivation and moral character were selected from among them, and they prepared to choose a Human Emperor from among them.
In fact, Jiang Luo originally wanted to follow Huo Yancheng's advice and let this world line directly enter a modern society where everyone is democratic from a semi-feudal and semi-slave society, but he tried to deduce it and found that it didn't work.
Every social change is accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice, and the transition across eras results in the death of many people.
Although they can take a big step forward this time by restoring the rules, if they take too big a step, they may easily get into trouble and put those innocent people in trouble again.
Therefore, Jiang Luo planned to implement a system that had never existed before, that is, the Human Emperor must still be established, and the city lords of all parties must also be established, but the rules of establishment will be changed from hereditary to appointment based on merit and virtue.
The Emperor is just a position, and his power will not be supreme. There must be a council of ministers under the Emperor, which is the legendary constitutional monarchy.
Whether in the eyes of the people or the various clans, the Human Emperor is their backbone, so the Human Emperor is necessary, but constitutional monarchy can limit the monarch's privileges within a certain range and return part of the power to the people.
After repeated discussions with several overlords, they all felt that this method was good.
Lu Qing also took a look at Jiang Luo's decision. He flipped through the document twice and responded, "Okay, we can try it out for now. If it doesn't work in the later stage, we can let the people overthrow them. It's a pity that not all the rulers of the world line understand the principle that the people are the water and the king is the boat. Water can carry a boat but can also overturn it. It seems that literacy education on the world line is still necessary."
Jiang Luo looked at Lu Qing with some surprise, which made Lu Qing feel a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jiang Luo nodded to him in appreciation: "In the past thousand years, you have made a lot of progress."
Lu Qing snorted coldly and said awkwardly: "What are you saying? It's been more than a thousand years. Am I always going to be a child?"
Jiang Luo waved his hand: "That's not the case. Have you forgotten that you often got into trouble when you were five thousand years old? These thousand years are more useful than the thousands of years before!"
Lu Qing thought to himself, this is all caused by someone who got involved in this matter. If it weren’t for you, I might still be that carefree ancient son of God.
But he didn't feel any regret at all, nor did he blame Jiang Luo. He even loved him to death.
He suddenly withdrew his gaze, thinking that he could not keep looking like this. If he continued, he might lose control.
Jiang Luo noticed the strangeness in Lu Qing's eyes, but he didn't say much. He knew that although Lu Qing still looked cynical on the surface, deep down he was no longer the willful son of the ancient gods. Jiang Luo had seen his growth and changes over the past thousand years. Perhaps it was time to face up to their relationship.
On the other side, the four small teams and the people from the Xiuxian Academy led by Liu Tongan also returned to the central city.
Liu Tongan walked up to Jiang Luo, bowed respectfully, and reported: "Master Jiang, the order in several major cities around has been basically restored. We have selected more than a dozen qualified candidates. It is up to you to decide who will be the emperor."
Jiang Luo nodded, took the list handed over by Liu Tongan, and read it carefully. The list recorded in detail each candidate's cultivation, virtue, achievements, and ideas for future governance.
Jiang Luo's gaze lingered on a few of them for a moment, then he closed the booklet and said to Liu Tongan, "Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job in this selection. The election of the Emperor of Man is a matter of great importance, and we need to consider it carefully. You should arrange a political conference first, so that these candidates have the opportunity to showcase their talents and ideas."
Liu Tongan nodded and turned to arrange related matters. Jiang Luo looked at Lu Qing beside him, asking with a hint of inquiry: "What do you think of the election of the Emperor?"
Lu Qing leaned back in his chair and raised his eyebrows lazily: "I don't have any opinion, but since you want to promote a constitutional monarchy, the emperor you choose had better be someone with vision, not a fool who only knows how to engage in personality cult."
Jiang Luo chuckled: "I have also considered this. Therefore, the establishment of the Council of Ministers is very important. They can check and balance the power of the Emperor."
Lu Qing nodded, suddenly stood up and stretched: "Speaking of which, I should go see that little guy. Although Ah Ye has gotten rid of the nightmare, I still need to pay more attention to him."
Jiang Luo looked at Lu Qing's back, with a hint of complexity in his eyes. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just silently watching Lu Qing leave.
Lu Qing came to A Ye's room and found Huo Yancheng and Fan Wujiu there.
When Ah Ye saw Lu Qing, he immediately ran over happily: "Uncle Lu, you're here!"
Lu Qing rubbed Aye's head and said with a smile: "Little guy, you've recovered well."
Huo Yancheng smiled and said, "Aye has been very well behaved these past few days, and he even took the initiative to help us sort out some paperwork."
Fan Wujiu added, "He has also learned some basic spells and is making rapid progress."
Ah Ye lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "I just want to help everyone do something, I don't want to be taken care of all the time."
Lu Qing nodded, with a hint of approval in his tone: "Very good, you are ambitious. However, you don't have to be too anxious, take your time, we will all support you."
Ah Ye looked up at Lu Qing, his eyes full of admiration: "Uncle Lu, I will work hard and become as good as you guys in the future!"
Huo Yancheng and Fan Wujiu looked at each other, both with gentle smiles in their eyes. Lu Qing gently patted Aye's shoulder, with a hint of encouragement in his tone: "Okay, I believe you."
Looking at Ah Ye who was busy everywhere, Huo Yancheng whispered to the other two personalities, "He is the son of the previous Demon Lord. His father was robbed of the Demon Lord position by the Demon General. He said that the Demon General had a conspiracy. He colluded with Ling Wuchen in order to completely control the Three Thousand Worlds. On the surface, he wanted to negotiate with Ling Wuchen and divide the entire Three Thousand Worlds. In fact, his ambition is greater, which is to turn the entire Three Thousand Worlds into a colony of the Demon Realm."
Lu Qing frowned and cursed softly, "This beast! Who is he? With such big ambitions, isn't he afraid of choking to death?"
Huo Yancheng replied: "It is said that they are from the Celestial Demon Clan, and the Celestial Demon is a fallen god. After his fall from heaven, he has been living in the Demon Realm, and slowly rose from an unknown little demon to a demon general. Ah Ye is still young, so the description may not be very clear, but the general direction of the plot should be correct."
Lu Qing pondered and said, "The fallen immortal... could he also be a master? There are tens of thousands of masters in the three thousand worlds, and it would be troublesome to investigate. But I'd better discuss this matter with Jiang Luo! Knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles. It will be easier to deal with him if we find out his details first."
