Lord of the Truth

The Ancestral Continent...

The week that followed The Great Green Hill Declaration witnessed a massive struggle between the Burton family and the Demon army from one side, and between the beneficiaries of the status quo, such as the gangs from the other side.

For how can they hand over this crime paradise and return it to the law easily?

During the attempt to subject the cities to the law again, many gang members who had broken through to the knighthood realm appeared in mass, some of whom were hiding from the Demons all along but most of them were at peak level 10 and broke through after Robin's speech.

Strong battles took place throughout the continent, and not only the gang members, but there were also those who had a strong sense of revenge towards Robin and his family!

Those who hate Robin hated the gangs as well, but for the first time they stood together under the principle of the enemy of my enemy is my friend

The resistance was unexpectedly strong, in a matter of a week many of the knights of the Burton family and the Demons fell!

But the power difference between the two parties was just too overwhelming, and it started to show its effect soon after... With every passing day, dozens of cities were combed, cleansed, and annexed to the True Beginning Empire

This internal war continued for two months after The Great Green Hill Declaration!

By that time, all criminal organizations were dismantled or destroyed, and everyone who was filled with the fire of hatred toward Robin and the Burton family was also pursued and killed, as Robin said in his declaration, no one cared about giving justifications and asking for forgiveness... Whoever raised his weapon was put to death.

As for the rest of the people of the Ancestral Continent, they did not have a problem with the Declaration, as Robin said, this is what everyone used to do in wars, and their ancestors experienced it more than once

And this is not about what was happening in wars in dusty times, but they themselves saw what happened in the lands of the Burton family and Especially Jura City... Robin Burton won the war against the eight kingdoms and what happened after was only to be expected, he could have been much more merciful, but well, he wasn't.

At least Robin is starting to fix things now...

But then came the important question... What next?

The continent fell under the control of the so-called True Begining Empire, but the farms were burned, the factories destroyed, and the roads were demolished. What did they gain after 'establishing the law'?

At least the gangs were forcing citizens to work in farming lands to produce some food to resell to people in exchange for working for them or finding treasures on their behalf!

Now even these farms are devoid of slaves and the crops are spoiled.

A very gloomy wave has descended on the entire Ancestral Continent, everyone is sitting at home safe, but hungry.

Everyone knew that a severe famine had begun and that at least half of the continent's population would die out before their alleged Empire began providing some food for the rest. Death is inevitably coming!!

But...

What really came were... food convoys?!

Immediately after The True Begining Empire finished tightening its grip on the Ancestral Continent, a strange phenomenon began to occur, huge amounts of food and clean water appeared everywhere... And for free!

At first, it was just tables spread with grilled meat and clean water, and then, a few weeks later, these tables began to multiply, and fruits, vegetables, and bread made from grains appeared on them!

The famine ended before it began, and no one knows how.

They only take their portions allocated for each day and cry with joy while they eat, It has been a long time since they ate these quantities until they forgot what satiety means. They even forgot what pure water tasted like after they had to drink straight from the rivers that became filled with the dead bodies of humans and beasts.

...Behind the scenes, it was simply that Billy knew something like this would happen, so he gathered many commoners and gave them a fee to plow the land and sow the seeds, then ordered the few remaining life legion members to force those seeds to germinate quickly.

And while germinating those seeds, repairing roads, and making stores for food, Billy ordered the Demons to hunt down the beasts and fill the deficit in food until the grains and fruits reach people.

As for pure water, it was easies... There were many Demons who are practicing the major Heavenly Law of water!

Four months after The Great Green Hill Declaration...

After ensuring the safety of lives and stomachs, Billy began dividing the Ancestral Continent into regions headed by one of the Elders of the Burton family, and each Elder was given battalions of Demons and a few members of the Life Legion to help him manage his new position

Six months after The Great Green Hill Declaration...

All agricultural lands, factories, and shops returned to work, while properties and lands whose owners died were distributed among the poor to start a new life...

Everything returned to it was before the war began, the difference is that there are no longer any Borders anywhere on the continent, it is really still divided, but only administratively, to facilitate taking care of people's interests, but now anyone can migrate to any place on the continent without anyone asking him where you are going

And there's something that stunned Billy when he heard of it, something he thought would be quite the opposite!

The general average cultivation level in the continent... has skyrocketed and become much higher than before!!

In the past, it was only the noble families who possessed the Heavenly laws techniques and Evergy Cultivation Techniques and could access Knighthood, while the commoners were mostly working with forced labor in the lands and factories and they had no means to cultivate even the Energy Foundation Realm!

And no desire either... With no Heavenly Laws Techniques, what will they do with cultivating to the tenth level? They can't go anywhere after that, so why bother? better spend that time on something more useful!

But after the war and the spread of the Evergy Cultivation Techniques everywhere, and everyone's newfound greed for strength... the average cultivation level among the commoners jumped from level 1 to level 8!!

Now it is rare to find a person on the streets below level 5… Not only that, after the proclamation of the Empire and everyone, was allowed to cultivate again, a huge number of people had broken through to the knighthood realm during the six months since the announcement

Now the Ancestral Continent gained a huge number of knights who had seen Hell with their eyes, and hundreds of millions of Level 5~10 Foundation Energy Realm who had returned from the Gates of Death.

If a war took place between the Ancestral Continent now and the Ancestral Continent that was ten years ago, for example, the current ancestor continent would gain a crushing will!!

But this was not enough... In the seventh month after the announcement of Big Green Hill, a huge amount of books containing techniques of Heavenly Laws and techniques of soul cultivation and energy absorption began to sweep across the Ancestor Continent like wildfire.

Compulsory academies have been set up to train all children from the age of five to eighteen, with zones for training and dissemination of cultivation advice among adults.

This new policy did not meet any resistance from the people who tasted pain and knew the value of strength, on the contrary... the speed of development of the Ancestral Continent was terrifying compared to the rest of the world
