Chapter 158 The Tiandou Empire Celebration Officially Begins

The auction continued. Compared with the previous items, the following items were not so special. Everything went on as usual and ended in the afternoon.

The Tiandou Empire celebration, which has been prepared for many days, will finally begin tomorrow.

A grand opening ceremony was held tonight. The reason it was chosen to be held at night was because the founding emperor of the Tiandou Empire was born at night.

The streets were crowded with people, every house was decorated with lights and people were cheering. All the cities in the Tiandou Empire also held celebration parties at the same time.

The time came to midnight and the bell of Tiandou Empire rang, symbolizing the official arrival of the 3,500th anniversary celebration of Tiandou Empire. The people in Tiandou City were not sleepy at all and continued to sing and dance in the streets. They did not plan to rest tonight and would wait until the end of the celebration.

When the time came to Si hour, Xue Ye stood on his ancestral open-top chariot, set out from the palace, moved slowly forward, and inspected his people.

"Greetings to His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!" When the people around saw Xue Ye, they hurriedly saluted, with burning light in their eyes.

"My children! Hello!" Xue Ye was kind and dignified, and waved to everyone happily.

The thunderous applause continued for a long time, and the motorcade continued to move forward, aiming at the Tiandou Central Square. This celebration was not held in indoor venues such as the Imperial Auditorium, but in the larger Tiandou Central Square, where the people could enjoy the celebration together.

"Hello, my people!"

"Your Majesty, long live your Majesty! I will be loyal to you!"

Representatives of other major forces, as VIPs, were already waiting in the VIP seats in the Tiandou Central Square, accompanied by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Prince Xue Xing.

Half an hour later, Xue Ye finally arrived at the Tiandou Central Square. At this moment, the square was crowded with more than 30 people. There was only one road left for Xue Ye to pass through. Many people started to reserve seats a month in advance.

Xue Ye, under the protection of Xue Yi and Xue Er, climbed onto the high platform and used the soul amplifier to spread his majestic and friendly voice throughout the square. "Hello everyone, I am the 71st emperor of the Tiandou Empire: Xue Ye! On behalf of the Tiandou Empire, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to all the people and guests present... Let us celebrate this great day together with all the people of the Tiandou Empire!"

The applause that resounded through the heavens and earth came from all directions and lasted for a long time. Xue Ye's figure and speech were also transmitted to all directions through the specially customized soul guide.

Xue Ye raised his arms, signaling everyone to stop, and the applause stopped instantly. "Next, I will tell all the citizens, all the guests, and all the people of Douluo Continent about the 3,500-year struggle of our Tiandou Empire! Tell about these glorious years!"

"Since the founding emperor of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Xiaoyao, founded the country... it has been passed down for 3500 years and has never been interrupted. After I ascended the throne, I have been even more diligent in government affairs, working hard day and night, and putting the Tiandou country and the people's welfare first. I have inherited the foundation of my ancestors and I know that my responsibility is heavy. I dare not slack off in the slightest."

"When I first ascended the throne, I immediately set about rectifying the government, severely punishing corrupt officials, and promoting virtuous and capable people, so that the court was clean and all officials were honest. I also implemented new policies, focusing on the development of agriculture and commerce, building water conservancy projects, and reducing taxes and levies, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and their livelihoods would become more prosperous."

"I have joined forces with the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, the Xingluo Empire, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and other righteous armies to fight against the evil forces that endanger the development of the Douluo Continent, safeguard the peace and stability of the human race, and make Tiandou's reputation grow day by day. Internally, we will eliminate the local separatist forces and make Tiandou reunified!" The three Titled Douluos behind him, Xue Yi, Xue Er, and Xue Wuming, also showed their titled strength. The people of Tiandou were extremely excited and shouted long live.

"As for cultural education, I personally serve as the president of Tiandou Royal Academy, teach in person, reform education, open up the way for talents, and make the world of Tiandou soul masters flourish, with many talented people emerging."...

"I have been on the throne for more than 30 years, and have been realizing the rejuvenation of Tiandou step by step. I am determined to make the empire prosperous and the people happy. Although I cannot be perfect, I have tried my best. I would like to encourage you all to move forward and make Tiandou prosperous and strong, and contribute my own strength! I am willing to work with all parties to achieve win-win cooperation, discuss and build together, and jointly plan the grand event of the development of the human race!"

Xue Ye boasted for a while, enjoying his moment of glory. He started from the founding emperor of Tiandou, not letting go of any emperor, and went all the way to himself. After more than an hour, he finally ended.

"I declare that the 3,500-year celebration of the Tiandou Empire has officially begun!"

Zhuang Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief. He hated this kind of long-winded tone the most. It felt like he was dreaming of the principal of his high school giving a speech.

The Tiandou crowd in the audience shouted "Long live" again, and the cheers lasted for a long time. This was the umpteenth time that they couldn't count.

As Xue Ye announced the start of the celebration, the following links began in an orderly manner: military parade, singing of praises (representatives of the Tiandou royal family, nobles, royal family, academy, independent cultivators, civilians, etc., took turns to go on stage), and ancestor worship. This was the content of the morning.

Then came the luncheon. On the day of the celebration, all official departments of the Tiandou Empire had to provide free food to the people unconditionally, and the food standards had to be higher than the standards of the local middle-class nobles.

After lunch, representatives from various major forces gave speeches, praising Emperor Xue Ye for his great contributions and hoping that both sides would continue to deepen their cooperation.

It was already night, and all the major forces went to the forest outside the city to hold a bonfire dinner. The elders were in the palace nearby discussing political affairs and deliberating on future development patterns.

The bonfire dinner was mainly a performance by the younger generation, where, for example, peers would exchange ideas on spiritual power, compete in tea art, and so on, and the different circles would be revealed.

Zhuang Xingyu, Zi Han, Huangfu Ruiyao, Shui Bing'er and Ye Lengleng sat in a corner, eating delicious food leisurely.

Gold will always shine. Even if this place is magnificent and full of gold, Zhuang Xingyu is like the dazzling sun. Even if he sits in the corner, he is still the center of the dinner.

The descendants of most forces gathered around, and went to establish good relationships with Zhuang Xingyu as requested by their elders. Many women looked at Zi Han and the other three with envy, and deliberately puffed out their chests, eager to get Zhuang Xingyu's attention. Whoever could say a word to Zhuang Xingyu could brag about it in his own small circle for a long time.

Compared to the liveliness here with Zhuang Xingyu, the places of the descendants of other major forces were much quieter. Apart from their direct subordinate forces, no one came around.

Tang San naturally did not come to the small circle of the Eastern Divine Religion. Dongfang Aoxie wanted to make him useless and turn him into a useless killing machine under his control. He had no strength and no ability, so he would naturally not let him participate in such high-end meetings.

Dongfang Rengui lowered his head and glanced in the direction of Zhuang Xingyu. His eyes were cold and he roared in his heart, "You are a bunch of blind rubbish. I, Dongfang Rengui, am the strongest genius. You don't lick me, but lick Zhuang Xingyu. This is absurd! No, I have to take action to establish my authority and let others know how powerful I am. However, I don't know Zhuang Xingyu's strength and methods. If I act rashly, I might suffer a loss."

"Let's practice with the three useless people from the Spirit Hall, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan! They are of high status, but not as strong as me. They are just right for establishing authority and making an example of others! Anyway, Lord Black Demon has given the order that the Spirit Hall must be destroyed."
