Chapter 1436 Accepted
"For now, I'll allow you to become a 1st Tier Official as long as you enter the celestial realm."
"And what about 2nd Tier Official?" A Clan Leader asked probingly.
Dyon sneered lightly. "In order to become a 2nd Tier Clan, you need 100 separate individuals to contribute 10 000 merit points and accumulate a minimum of 10 000 000 points total."
Hearing these words, the one who spoke silenced himself immediately. Who knew how many years it would take to reach that sort of level? It wasn't impossible considering there were many people working together, but for Clans who hadn't even earned 1 merit point, 10 000 000 still seemed much too far off.
"These standards shouldn't be impossible to meet as long as one fosters a good culture within their own Clans. Many of you come from Clans and Families with hundreds of individuals. Some of you larger Clans have tens of thousands under you.
"Always remember that for how difficult you may believe these tasks are to accomplish, there's always an adequate award waiting at the end.
"While a 1st Tier Official will receive 1 celestial stone worth of goods a month, a 1st Tier Clan will receive 10 000 celestial stones worth. In the same vein, a 9th Tier Clan will receive 10 000 enigmatic stones worth. These don't even touch upon the numerous benefits including territory and power."
"Leader Sacharro," King Belmont, who had been silent until now, spoke up. Although, he couldn't necessarily be called King Belmont anymore, but rather, Patriarch Belmont. "You spoke of subordinate Clans, how will this system work?"
For Patriarch Belmont who had had five God Clans under his purview not too long ago, he found this concept intriguing. Plus, after being cured of the Bai Clan curse, he was doing far better now and was well equipped to make up for his mistakes in the past few decades.
"Mm." Dyon nodded. "Higher tier Clans have the right to take lesser Clans under their wings. That said, this isn't a sort of absolute dictatorship.
"The amount of land in a given territory is limited. This is why you can gain merit points discovering and mapping new lands, as I've stated before.
?α?dαsηθνε| "As a result of this scarcity, it is inevitable that there will come a time when the territories of Clans overlap. This is especially so for 9th Tier Clans who will begin the right to rule over an entire Universe.
"When these sorts of overlaps occur, the lesser Clan will become a subordinate Clan. On the one hand, they will have to pay a certain tax to the higher ranked Clan, but on the other, the higher ranked Clan will then become responsible for the lesser Clan's safety.
"In addition to this, the higher ranked clan will be able to recruit talents within the lesser clan into their fold. However, in order to do this, the higher ranked clan must be willing to give this recruited talent the same privileges as a founding pillar of their clan."
Dyon chose this Law of Order for a reason. He didn't want large Clans bullying smaller ones by taking up all of their talents. In that way, that would create a cycle where smaller clans would never be able to rise up. Still, he also knew that these sorts of practices were inevitable, so he also decided to heavily regulate it.ραпdαs `n?ν?|ReadNovelFull.com
Clans would definitely think twice before giving an incoming talent the rights of a founding member. That was borderline nonsensical.
"Excluding this founding member position, the subordinate clan will also become exempt from taxes they once gave to their higher ranked clan, but the higher tier clan will still be required to protect them."
This sort of penalty just for one person? Would those larger clans be willing to take this on?
"If a larger clan decides to take a second talent from a lesser clan, they will in turn have to pay renumerations to the lower tiered clan. These sort of reverse taxes, so to speak, will increase exponentially for every talent taken and will continue until the death date of that talent.
"Mind you, this will occur whether the talent is willingly leaving their Clan or not. Unless this talent can provide proof that they've been mistreated by their paternal Clan, they will be forever tied to that Clan in one fashion or another."
Many of Clan Leaders more than just accepted Dyon's words, they felt greatly gratified.
Because of the fact becoming a lofty 9th Tier Clan that ruled over an entire universe was too grand for them to imagine as things stood now, they felt themselves to mostly be the "little guy" in Dyon's examples. Seeing that he was protecting them, they only felt more guilty about their previous actions.
Dyon hadn't been wrong, he gave them all avenues for improvement, but they all but spit in his face. They were far too used to a martial world that trampled and forgot the weak.
Of course, this sort of victim mentality wasn't something Dyon was willing to forgive without punishment. Those here did their fair share of perpetuating the unfairness. But, he would be lenient on them this single time.
"Speaking of the matter of Clans, I'll also be implementing a system that controls how a person's merit points can be allocated and what Clans they choose to be affiliated with.
"From the very beginning, when a youth is born, they will be registered as a citizen of our Mortal Alliance."
Dyon chose the title Mortal Alliance for now since he wasn't yet ready to establish a Kingdom. If he named himself King, he would be far more restricted than he was now. In such a case, he wouldn't be able to do many of the things he wanted first. So, he held off for now.
"This registration comes in a few parts. The first is a Soul Tag. This Soul Tag is uniquely tailored to an individual and is impossible to fake."
These words of Dyon's weren't entirely true. Theoretically, if someone with greater soul path comprehension than himself studied these Soul Tags for an adequate amount of time, it would be possible to replicate and even fake them.
