“Take back whatever was ours!!”
The people were in a frenzy as they cheered wildly with all their might, sending thundering noises across the mountain.
Chapter 259: The Empire Is Established, The Dragon God Descends
“My dearest clansmen! From the moment I came to this world, I have had a dream. This dream has been motivating me all this time, making me fearless as I press forward!
“I dream of the day that we humans can stand with our backs straight, where we can break free of the other races’ oppression and be able to truly rule over this continent!
“I dream of the day that we humans can trample on the Colossal Dragons, rip the Titans into pieces with our hands, keep out the Beast People in the deserts, and confine the Fairies to the Goddess Lakeside!
“I dream of the day that the Titan Plateaus become our grazing pastures, the Dragon God Empire becomes our fertile fields, the Far Northern Wastelands become our mines, and the Fairy Forests become our hunting grounds!
“I dream of the day that human children can also have a chance to cultivate and openly step into the halls of Battle Aura and magic to become strong experts!
“I dream of the day where Beast People and Titans become our slaves, Colossal Dragons are served to us on the dining table, and Fairies dance for us!
“I dream of the day...”
Trample on the Colossal Dragons!
Rip the Titans into pieces!
Turn the Far Northern Wastelands into grazing pastures and the Fairy Forests into hunting grounds!
Serve Colossal Dragons on the dining table!
Have the Fairies dance for the humans!
His astounding speech resounded in the depths of every human’s heart. As they pictured what he had described in their minds, the blood in them began to boil passionately.
“There are rumors in the continent that claim that I’m the reincarnation of an evil deity. That’s how I managed to possess such terrifying strength at my age. But the truth?” Meng Lei scoffed. “I have only one word in response—ridiculous!
“I am pure human and am neither a deity that has descended upon the world nor the reincarnation of a Devil. The strength I possess today is purely the efforts of my cultivation!
“Now, some are definitely going to wonder—can weak humans possess such terrifying talent? The answer is—yes, of course! I’ve mentioned this before, but there has never been any lack of people with amazing talent among the humans!
“Timon Barton, the number one genius in Dragon God Empire history, started his cultivation journey at the age of 9, became an eighth-grade expert at 11, and broke through to Saint Domain at 14! His amazing talent is top-notch in the continent!
“Is Timon Barton a Dragon? No, he isn’t! He’s pure human!
“Augustine Kroc, the number two genius in Dragon God Empire history, began to cultivate at the age of 10, became a Ninth-Grade Warrior at 16, and broke through to Saint Domain at 26! He surpassed the ancients and dazzled contemporaries to become second in history!
“Is Augustine a Dragon? No, he isn’t! He’s also human!
“Do you see that, my fellow countrymen? Even in a horrendous environment like the Dragon God Empire, human geniuses can still firmly suppress the Dragons. Are the humans really that weak, then?
“No, no, not at all! We are strong! Very much so! We are far more excellent than what we imagine of ourselves. We have unimaginable potential and talent!
“Therefore, I promise you this—in regions under human rule, all humans under the age of 20 can undergo magic aptitude evaluation tests and receive Battle Aura manuals at no cost!
“I promise—in regions under human rule, I will build Battle Aura academies and magic academies and allow all children under the age of 16 to enroll into the academies at no cost. They shall have the chance to undergo compulsory education for a duration of six years!
“I promise—in regions under human rule, I will not levy taxes of any form, collect any agricultural tax to be paid in grain or other forms, or recruit soldiers in any way for the next ten years!
“I promise—in regions under human rule, every decent human in the registry will receive a plot of land measuring at least two square kilometers, such that everyone can have their own fields!
“I promise—in regions under human rule, humans will never be slaves. Everyone will be equal, and there will be no slaves and no nobles!
“I promise...”
“...”
His impassioned speech lashed forcefully against everyone’s hearts like a wakeup call, thoroughly igniting the humans’ blood and passion.
Blood instantly drained from the other races’ faces. In particular, the Fairy Empress and the other two monarchs’ countenances had changed drastically.
Those under 20-years-old would undergo magic aptitude evaluation tests and receive Battle Aura manuals at no cost.
Those under 16-years-old would have the chance to undergo compulsory education at no cost.
No taxes would be levied, no grain would be collected, and no soldiers would be recruited in human territory.
Everyone would receive plots of land measuring two square kilometers each! Everyone would be equal! And humans would never be slaves.
No one understood the meaning behind these governance measures better than the three monarchs.
Once Meng Lei put that into action, innumerable experts, innumerable geniuses, and innumerable military resources would emerge from among the humans.
In fact, every person in the country would be able to fight.
What was even more frightening was that once Meng Lei put that into action, would this sit well with the human slaves currently being enslaved and oppressed in the other three great empires?
No, they would rebel! They would run!
They would yearn for the Dragon God Empire and compete with one another to head to the Dragon God Empire.
When that happened, the three great empires would definitely be thrown into great upheavals.
“That guy... He’s practically a madman!”
The three monarchs’ eyes
