Reaper of the Martial World

Book 7: Chapter 354: Unrequited (2)

Dyon ended the first ever Mortal Meeting by wrapping up a few miscellaneous matters and small details.

First, he handled matters pertaining to the Soul Tags, scheduling with every Clan in attendance when to be prepared to receive their tags. It would still take quite a bit of time, even for Dyon, to form 15 billion Soul Tags. So he could only take things step by step since he was the only one capable of making them. It would likely take at least a year for everyone to be properly tagged, after this, he could start loosening the reins on everybody and allow them to grow.

With this also came setting up the tracking formations as well. They were far more difficult to make in comparison to Soul Tags due to the fact they had to work autonomously most of the time. Luckily, he only had to make one per Clan. As for those without Clans, or for small families, he would attach all of their Soul Tags to one big tracking formation at the Administrative Hall.

After dealing with this, Dyon began to mark off the land these clans would be able to occupy. As things stood now, everything was too loose and the borders weren’t set well enough.

While a 9^th Tier Clan would be allowed to rule over an entire universe, obviously, lesser Clans had far less territory.

1^st Tier would be allowed about 5% of the land of a planet, 2^nd Tier would receive 20% while a 3^rd Tier would receive 50%. Once one becomes a 4^th Tier Clan, they would be allowed dominion over an entire planet.

A 5^th Tier Clan would be allowed control over a solar system while a 6^th Tier Clan would be able to dominate a Star Cluster. 7^th Tier Clans would control a galaxy. 8^th Tier Clans would rule over a Galaxy Cluster. And finally, 9^th Tier Clans would be given an entire universe to call their own.

This wasn’t all either, every tier came with what Dyon called an ‘Exploration Range’. This exploration range was often shared by multiple clans. The goal of a clan would be to, as the title states, explore this area, map it out, and seek resources.

These maps and resources are then sent to the Administration for merit points. In addition, for the resources, the Clans will be allowed to monopolize 30% for themselves.

Of course, there were also demerits assigned to those who chose to hide resources. However, this was also part of the reason Dyon assigned multiple Clans to the same exploration ranges. This way, if a clan wanted to cheat Dyon, they would have to hide the resources from the surrounding clans as well.

If they were found out, the punishment would be severe. But, if they simply handed the resources over as soon as they found them, they would be rewarded with 30%. Even a fool would know which path to choose.

This aside, Dyon did his best not to move Clans too far from where they had already settled, but for Clans like the Pakals who seemed dead set on pulling themselves away from everyone else, Dyon purposely moved them closer to the capital.

However, he wasn’t blatant with these wishes of his. Dyon directly placed the most powerful Clans on Soul Planet, promising them territories personally designed and constructed by Meiying herself. Everyone knew what a Meiying constructed land meant… Not only would it look beautiful, but they’d even be able to cultivate faster!

Of course, the more clever individuals knew that Dyon was doing this so it was easier to keep an eye on his more powerful subordinates to make sure they weren’t led astray, but they kept silent on this matter. After all, Dyon was compensating them well.

In order not to brew discontent, Dyon made it clear that those Clans who were selected for this privilege had already earned it.

For example, Caedlum Pakal not only had the Asura Faith Seed, he was a False True God. As such, he was rated as an S grade talent though – he didn’t enter the academy – and a future pillar of Dyon’s empire. Who could deny that his family deserved good treatment?

Dyon used similar logic to bring the Elves and the Jafari Clan to his side. He also officially enshrined the Ipsum Clan. Considering they had 5 dao experts, who would complain? They immediately became the strongest of the Clans without question. Though, they were lacking in members.

The final thing Dyon did before he adjourned the meeting was lay a foundation for those who might not have a Clan supporting them. After all, he himself didn’t really have a Clan. How would he survive in an environment that was entirely dependent on the strength of your Clan?

For those individuals, he not only laxed the requirements for entering the Sects should they have started cultivating late, he also gave them priority in positions like Academy Instructor and some of the lesser posts of the Administration.

Up to now, the only way to earn the official title was to earn it through you Clan. For example, a 1^st Tier Clan could only have one 1^st Tier Official. However, Dyon created a path for those without Clans to become Officials as well, though it would be more difficult.

These individuals would have to earn a certain number of merits of all three kinds, meaning military merits, talents merits and contribution merits, plus they would have to have a certain number of total merits as well.

To become a 1^st Tier Official without a Clan, one would need 100 military merits, 100 talents merits, and 100 contribution merits. And, they would have to have 1000 merits overall.

In this vein, Dyon added many support programs and also laid plans to increase the academy total from 3 per planet, to 10.

Like this, the First Mortal Meeting came to an end.
