“Source Point will be established as Source Points, with 1 Source Point equaling 100 Source Points, serving as the basic unit of Transaction. A complete Currency Source Pointization will be enforced within 0, where all taxes, public services, and transactions in all city businesses will be settled using Source Points,” Warner continued.
As a fervent researcher, he had no desire to hold a position like that of a governor, but under Xiar's orders, he had no choice but to attend every meeting.
The dozens of high-ranking officials exchanged glances, unsure how to produce the Personal Terminal. Such a miraculous item could undoubtedly fetch several gold coins or even dozens if sold outside, yet now it was to be promoted entirely for free.
Clearly, there were greater ambitions at play!
However, they were not in positions to meddle in governance; as subordinates of Xiar, they simply needed to focus on their own responsibilities, completely disregarding anything else—even the envoy from the Harrison Empire could not command them.
Currency reform was something that Xiar had to undertake. If he wanted to establish an independent Empire, he needed his own currency; otherwise, he would always be subject to others!
The right to create currency was as crucial as military and political power!
“The second point: we will officially establish a nation, named Source Nation!”
This second point instantly ignited excitement among most present. After all, Xiar had been in the process of establishing a kingdom for quite some time but had yet to fully acknowledge it. They had been referring to themselves with the awkward title of Farn County.
In reality, they were rebels against the Harrison Empire, caught between two sides.
Now, at last, they would stand as a nation; from this moment on, they would be considered founding figures!
“Um, about Harrison…” the lord of Sain City hesitantly began.
At this moment, the previously silent Xiar spoke up, his tone calm and steady as if stating an obvious truth: “No need to worry; this is my territory. No one can overstep.”
In these chaotic times, even the mightiest Harrison Empire could not extend its reach here unless they were willing to bring over two Disaster Beasts, which would be reckless. Otherwise, Xiar felt no fear!
Farn County was merely the most remote border county of Harrison, with both agriculture and industry underdeveloped. In the eyes of the empire's rulers, it was less significant than any city surrounding the Imperial Capital Grom.
Moreover, with cities being trampled by Radiation Monsters, resulting in millions or even billions of deaths, their military forces were completely tied up and unable to take action against Xiar!
The ruler of Source City spoke up, providing reassurance to those present; after all, any punishment from the Harrison Empire would have its consequences—there was no need for concern.
Next came preparations for nationhood: “When shall we hold the ceremony?”
Since the establishment of the nation was to be formal, it had to be conducted with great pomp, ensuring that all countries in the world were aware of it. Otherwise, a quiet establishment would only be seen as rebellion and would not gain recognition.
"The preparations for the national founding ceremony will begin now, starting after the conclusion of the Beast Fighting Tournament. Now, for the third point: the Source Cult has newly appointed six Diocesan Bishops. Each region must cooperate in supplying talent and resources, and carry out missionary tasks to neighboring countries, prioritizing the highest quality Source Elixir. Those who perform exceptionally may be promoted to Cardinal!"
The Diocesan Bishops are responsible for the ecclesiastical affairs of a county or a kingdom, while Cardinals oversee the religious duties of the Two Great Empires, Atlantis City-States Alliance, and multiple kingdoms, making them the top echelon of the Source Cult.
Although the Source Cult is a brand-new religion, no one doubts its future.
With the assistance of the Magic Web, even the most ancient religions cannot compare to it.
The Source Cult is not merely an ethereal belief; it genuinely provides benefits to its followers!
If anyone still doubts, it's simple: Source Elixir combined with Parasitic Cricket serves as the ultimate reward. This kind of real power enhancement is something no one would refuse!
For ordinary people, even if they strive their whole lives or through generations, they could never attain such formidable strength.
This is true power that belongs to them alone, not that which comes with wealth and influence that can change with position or time. It allows them to become revered strong individuals!
Obot sat quietly, a faint smile on his face, giving off an air of a learned scholar.
He had originally been just a cleric, but in two months' time he would become a Diocesan Bishop and head north to Tirisfal County for missionary work.
Though Tirisfal County was under the influence of the True God Cult, he felt no fear. He had been personally commanded by the Source Lord and granted power that made him fearless!
"The fourth point: seven legions will be established, with Insect Beasts as the main force responsible for external warfare. Zoro will lead the First Legion, Leslie will be the Second Legion Commander, Walkerly will serve as Captain of the Third Legion, and I will concurrently hold command of the Fourth Legion. The remaining three Captains will be selected from this Beast Fighting Tournament."
"These are the four tasks discussed in this meeting. Everyone may add their comments or raise questions; otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"
Warner returned to his seat, and discussions on various details began immediately. Hundreds of participants eagerly spoke up, diving into detailed discussions point by point.
The four points were indeed overarching mission requirements. For instance, monetizing Source Points and promoting them to replace Copper Coins—currency that had circulated for centuries—was an extremely challenging task.
Even with all military power at hand, implementing such changes would face significant obstacles.
For example, what if there was refusal to acknowledge it? How could it be fully implemented in remote areas? There were many issues regarding restrictions on underage Personal Terminals and more. If these matters weren't clarified now, any future complications would be self-inflicted consequences.
In Farn County—no, now it is Source Nation—seventeen is the age of Legal Adulthood, the age at which one can marry and have children.
Before this, students attend schools across the land, with all tuition and living expenses covered. Meals are provided along with a certain amount of extra allowances, making it a form of compulsory education; not participating is considered a crime!
“What a pity that time is still too tight…” Xiar thought as he looked at the crowd below, nervously discussing matters. Memories of his past life resurfaced once again.
Having enough to eat and drink, compulsory education, peaceful living, a society governed by law—these things that were once taken for granted had vanished in this world, leaving him to build everything from scratch.
People often only learn to cherish what they have when they lose it…
………………
After a break of Three Days Later, the Fourth Round of the competition was held as scheduled, with the top hundred contenders taking the stage to compete.
This round was a one-on-one battle format; winners would advance while losers would have one chance to revive. If they failed again, they would be completely eliminated and lose their qualification to advance.
In the finals, the Beast Arena, which could accommodate one hundred thousand people, was filled to capacity. The tiered seating was packed with spectators, creating a sea of heads that made it the largest competition event in history.
In the end, Vaxinger, who controlled a silver-white peculiar Insect Beast, emerged as the strongest champion and stood before Xarl.
A faint smile appeared on Xiar's face. “One million Source Points have already been given to you. So, what else do you want? A city lord? A legion Captain? Third-Level Source Medicine?”
