Shi Lang had all the people kneeling in front of him, he stood as if a god was looking down on mortals. He cast his gaze at Charlotte Knight and asked, “Do you think that I am insulting you?”
Charlotte grit her teeth and looked at Shi Lang with her eyes brimming with hatred. She has never knelt down in front of anyone. This humiliation was worse than death for her. Shi Lang smiled and shook his head, he said, “You think this is humiliation? Remember this feeling you have today. You let go of your primary initiative as a soldier, you allowed your delusions to get the better of you. The purpose of military is not to maintain images, it is to maintain order and face dangers to ensure the safety of our people back at home.”
His words were moving, and a lot of people shivered slightly. Shi Lang walked over to Charlotte Knight and then he crouched down in front of her. He said, “There is always a sky above the sky and a mountain higher than a mountain. There is another realm above this realm, where reside people who can destroy the entire federation with just a few thoughts. If you all stopped thinking and working on getting stronger for the sake of glorified impressions, we will never be able to compare to that realm.”
The people heard his words and did not know what to say. They thought he was only preaching to them but this mention of another realm shook there souls to the core. Shi Lang looked at the face of his mother-in-law, her eyes were filled with confusion and he said, “You all might think that I am just making up stuff, but the proof of another realm exists in all the cultivation sutras that cultivators are practicing. This is not something that could be denied, you must have realized it yourself.”
Charlotte Knight did not know how to reply to him. Shi Lang stood up from the spot while he took back his pressure and said, “Today, I will like to take a moment and tell all of you people of the federal empire something important. The method used by the people till now, the Terran cultivation method is insufficient and that is why not everyone can break through the mortal shackles.
However, the new spiritual techniques that have been introduced to you all are akin to a key that unlocks those shackles. It may seem that things are getting easier, but with time, everyone will have the strength to reach the top of their potential. Their might be differences between the strength but never lose hope. Always keep trying to forge your way ahead. One day, you will be able to realize all your dreams.”
The people were mesmerized when they heard these things coming out of Shi Lang’s mouth and soon, they all found that all sorts of reports were being published on the internet. The netizens simply started looking at the documents and they were shocked. The reports stated that everything that Shi Lang said was true.
Shi Lang said, “There are a lot of changes that the federation will be facing in the coming days and I hope that you all are prepared to over come them. There will be events when the people will compete, however, I hope that you all remember that opportunities that are achieved by fair means will not only get you the glory but also clear the path of your martial arts, your dao heart will be firm and clear of any knots.”
The people nodded and agreed with his words. Shi Lang said, “Understand that those with money and power will have better chances of excelling than those without. However, it does not mean that you will be undermined. The federal government will try to maintain order and organize events so that everyone can get better shot. Yet there will be times when things might not look fair. So endure and temper yourself. Let us aim to reach the peak of this realm before we step into the realm of the mighty.”
The soldiers were perked up and they all yelled, “Hurrah!!!”
The cheers continued and the enthusiasm spread through the projections and the people began to cheer too. They all were looking forward to the better future ahead. Shi Lang cast a gaze at Charlotte and said, “There are a few things that the council also needs to hear, so do come along with me.”
Charlotte nodded, her anger and rage has been cleared away by the new knowledge that Shi Lang had passed to them. The young man led the council members to the secret room for the meeting while the federal empire became busy with the information they had to digest.
Shi Lang sat in the position of the chair person with a relaxed expression while the rest of the generals stood around the table with their heads down. They had realized the mistake they committed and felt guilty in front of the superior officer. It was shameful for them to sit down with him on the same table now.
The young man sighed and said, “Have a seat, you all have been punished enough in front of the juniors.”
The officers blushed and they hesitantly took a seat. Shi Lang looked at them and said, “I wanted to call you all over to announce that I am resigning from my position of the first general and the commander of the first fleet.”
The people were shocked and Charlotte asked in surprise, “What do you mean by this? Why are you resigning?”
Shi Lang waved his hand to have her calm down and said, “I will be going back to the base of the galactic council and seek out more trials. My realm is already the peak of what I can do by staying in the federation. If I go on to stay here, it will take me a decade to reach the next major realm but the strength of the people outside in the vast galaxy, I might make up for that distance in just a year and maybe a few months.
To establish the power of the federation we need to get stronger, breaking through the realm of primordial soul is just the beginning, there are a lot many realms ahead.”
The generals understood that to defend a stronger Federation from getting attacked by the outsiders they need to have a stronger guardian. Charlotte said, “Than who will be taking over the chairperson position?”
Shi Lang shrugged his shoulders and said, “I do not know, but do not include anyone from special divisions, or Amelia. They have there own tasks to deal with now and have no time to spare. Also, the guardian division shall be trained the best level. They must be the elites of the elites. You have a batch to provide the training, but make sure that you do not break them. They will be the pillars in maintaining the order in the new federation.”
The people nodded, they did not doubt his decisions, and Shi Lang said, “The people in the guardian division must be scouted from a young age and they all must be trained with those thoughts in mind, you do not have to make them look special but small changes should work fine. Also, coordinate with the education government to see if they can go implement big scale changes in the system. Every student have different needs and the teachers must provide them with such dedicated lessons to improve.
The generals and the other high ranking officers should hold lectures and make them public to improve the status of the people. Another thing, have the students learn arrays and spiritual inscriptions at a young age. They have basic knowledge as toddlers so this will not effect any educational growth. If any exceptional talents in the fields are scouted then have them cultivated and supported to grow further.”
The people nodded and the discussion continued for three long hours and people decided to have Archie Arkham to sit in the seat of the chairperson as Charlotte gave up on the desire and decided to focus on her cultivation.
Archie Arkham agreed to the job but said that the meetings will be arranged after informing her in advance and the people agreed to it all. Then Shi Lang’s resignation was announced to the world with a proper explanation to the public. The people were asked to understand his reasons and support him in his endeavors.
Shi Lang then visited his home and told his parents about his decision. Later, he contacted Shashi, and told him to arrange a test for him and the Ace division to be the part of the Galactic Strike Force. The man was surprised to see that the special division of the Federation was going to join the Galactic Council.
However, he still arranged the test for them and they were asked to report to the Blue Star in a month. Shi Lang and the team agreed and after receiving the blessings they set off from the Federation territory.
