Chapter 1456 - 1303: The Ancient Beast Era 61
Su Jinghao didn’t neglect looking for a man later, hoping to be taken care of by him, but unfortunately, the Beastmen brainwashed by Shuangshuang had already been accustomed to women sharing the responsibility of supporting a family, and had no concept of supporting a woman.Initially intrigued by such a gentle woman, they soon lost the desire to take care of Su Jinghao, as supporting a comparatively lavish woman is no easy task.
Seeing other Beastman couples working hard together and living prosperously while he had to work hard alone to support another person naturally led to feelings of imbalance.
Unable to find anyone to support her, Su Jinghao had to work hard herself to support herself.
The physical labor in harsh weather quickly aged Su Jinghao, gradually turning her into her current state, full of wrinkles, as old and haggard as an elderly woman.
In the dead of night, Su Jinghao couldn’t help but ask the heavens why, despite crossing over, she was living a life worse than in the modern era.
As for Shuangshuang, who became the Emperor, the weary Su Jinghao had no energy or desire to be jealous, as the difference was too great for even jealousy.
Having long thrown Su Jinghao behind her, Shuangshuang is now busy with an important task of building more cities while establishing academies, educating the Beastmen, and setting up regulations for imperial examinations.
Shuangshuang harbors a great ambition; she wants to build the largest country, with each city being clean and tidy, extremely sturdy.
She won’t stupefy the common people to maintain Changping Country’s enduring rule; she wants to widely open people’s minds so everyone understands how to think.
If the Emperor of Changping Country becomes a foolish despot, Shuangshuang hopes the common people will not be intolerant until they can’t survive to resist, but resist early.
She doesn’t care about changing dynasties; she just wants to perpetuate the excellent thoughts of Changping Country: self-sufficiency, self-respect, and not bending their spines.
Though Shuangshuang became the Emperor, she never allowed people to kneel before her; meetings are held seated together around a long table.
It is only after becoming Emperor that Shuangshuang understood why Emperor Qin Shi Huang turned into a tyrant later; the scope of his vision was too vast and forward-thinking.
Considering the people’s strength, everything that needs doing shouldn’t be pursued too hastily, or it becomes a disaster for the common people.
Just like envisioning national construction swift as a rabbit but in reality moving slow as a snail, yet holding power, impatience easily leads to exploiting the common people.
Shuangshuang constantly reminds herself she founded the nation to make people’s lives better, not to make Beastmen’s lives worse.
This incessant self-reminding allows Shuangshuang to restrain her urgency, steadily constructing her envisioned nation without affecting the Beastmen’s lives.
Fortunately, as the population grew, Shuangshuang’s city-building speed increased.
Especially after adding more than ten Mammoth Clan Beastmen, they greatly accelerated her city-building.
The Mammoth Clan’s strength and difficult reproduction make it hard for them to become a Super Tribe, with the population ranging from twenty to seventy-eight thousand.
These Mammoth Beastmen were persuaded one by one by Chang Kong, Wu Yan, and Wu Hai, who ran around the world to join Changping Country, becoming its strongest guardians and builders.
By Shuangshuang’s sixtieth birthday, Changping Country had an incredible thousand cities, and its population had exceeded forty million!
The breakthrough to fifty million population was due to Shuangshuang’s medicine reducing infant mortality, paired with the absence of war.
This was the best time, Changping was the sole nation, without any neighboring nations to oppose it, even surrounding Super Tribes had become its people.
People lived peacefully and abundantly, long deprived Beastmen found stability, and no one wished to disrupt this stable life.
Even Beastmen with hidden ambitions couldn’t get other Beastmen’s approval, eventually settling as complacent common people.
This lifetime, Shuangshuang lived healthily to one hundred and fifty due to witch power, and at eighty, she passed the throne to her brother’s son, completely relinquishing power.
Shuangshuang’s chosen successor perfectly inherited her will and continued her policies, bringing Changping Country’s population above a hundred million by her passing.
Changping’s cities finally reached Shuangshuang’s envisioned ten thousand, a result of two generations’ efforts.
What Shuangshuang most proudly held was neither she nor her chosen successor negatively impacted the common people’s lives due to city building.
......
Thirteen million years later, in the interstellar era, at the Federal First Academy, during a history lesson, a lifelike representation of Shuangshuang stood on the central podium, with a Silver Tiger Clan Beastman teacher standing there.
"What you see now is our Beastman founding Empress, the greatest Emperor, the Unparalleled Saint Emperor! To us Beastmen, the Unparalleled Saint Emperor played a crucial role.
She was the first Divine Envoy, determined to establish a civilized golden age, protecting all Beastmen selflessly, and was a lifelong unmarried great monarch!
During the Unparalleled Saint Emperor’s reign, she widely opened people’s minds and issued a significant edict to the common people upon passing the throne.
’Should the Emperor of Changping become foolish or tyrannical, every commoner may execute him!’
It was this edict that enabled the Second Holy Master Emperor to justifiably raise troops and rebel upon encountering a foolish monarch, thereby founding a new nation.
Here’s the question, does anyone know why, despite being the founding Emperor, the Second Holy Master Emperor referred to himself as ’the Second’?
The students eagerly voiced their thoughts, among them a girl with utmost zeal was chosen by the teacher.
Looking at the holographic image of the Unparalleled Saint Emperor, the girl’s face was filled with admiration: "It is because the Second Holy Master Emperor greatly admired the Unparalleled Saint Emperor.
The Second Holy Master Emperor was very proud, placing even the chosen heir of the Unparalleled Saint Emperor outside his regard.
Only the Unparalleled Saint Emperor was sincerely revered by the Second Holy Master Emperor, who went on to build one thousand and eight hundred temples in her honor, and created the Heaven-Reaching Massacre in her likeness.
The Second Holy Master Emperor often lamented to ministers that he regretted not being born in the era of the Unparalleled Saint Emperor.
He believed himself to be the perfect inheritor of the Unparalleled Saint Emperor’s will, thus calling himself ’the Second’ and posturing as her successor."
