Chapter 62: Dust Settles: Forging an Invincible Legion

Beneath the dome, the holographic projection of the Tianyi Cauldron continued to emit a serene blue computational glow, resembling the lighthouse of a new civilization.

The magnificent figure of He Feng in his regal robes once more became the focal point of the assembly. Having just outlined the blueprint for the separation and balance of powers for the Senate, he was now about to infuse the civilization's daily operations and security barriers with a living soul.

"The Senate is the brain and backbone of our civilization, charting the course and establishing the rules," He Feng's voice was steady and clear as his gaze swept across the numerous government functionaries seated below who did not belong to the Senate sequence.

"And what will keep this colossal body operating efficiently and vibrantly is the Tianyi Star Government!"

On the massive light screen, the emblem representing the government lit up, and its structure began to be detailed.

"The Tianyi Star Government shall be the 'heart' and 'blood vessels' of our civilization's body!"

It shall oversee:

Administrative Execution: Comprehensively responsible for the specific implementation of all laws and policies set by the Senate. Organizing daily administration, maintaining social order, and providing public services.

Economic Development: Formulating and executing economic development plans, managing finance, taxation, commerce, trade, resource allocation, and industrial development (including utilizing the Tianyi Cauldron to optimize resource allocation). Ensuring the prosperity and sustainability of the civilization's material foundation.

Scientific Research: Leading all fields of scientific research except for cutting-edge military technology. Managing the Academy of Sciences and research institutions to drive the innovation and development of basic science, applied technology, and livelihood-related science. The allocation and application of the Tianyi Cauldron's civilian computing resources shall be government-led.

Livelihood and Welfare: Responsible for education, healthcare, social security, culture, environment, and other domains concerning the quality of life of billions of subjects.

"At the core of its architecture," He Feng's voice carried the sacred weight of appointment as his gaze fell upon several prominent male angel senior ministers who had already been designated, "it shall be jointly managed by the following individuals:"

Chief Executive: Sima

As the head of the Tianyi Star Government, he shall comprehensively lead the work of the government and be accountable to King He Feng of Tianyi. He shall chair plenary and executive meetings of the government, and sign governmental decrees and decisions issued by the administration. He shall coordinate the work of all Deputy Chief Executives and departments. He is the general coordinator and ultimate person responsible for the efficient operation of the government. Sima possessed a demeanor that blended scholarly elegance with executive capability, recognized universally as a master of administration and an expert in resource coordination.

Executive Deputy Chief Executive: Foge

He shall assist the Chief Executive in handling daily governmental affairs and act on behalf of the Chief Executive during the latter's absence. He shall oversee core central institutions such as the General Office, Personnel, Supervision, and Audit, as well as the most critical domains of finance, taxation, and budgeting. Foge was renowned for his rigor, meticulousness, and incorruptibility, serving as the "iron gate" ensuring internal governmental integrity and efficiency.

Left Deputy Chief Executive: Karma

He shall oversee the domain of economic development, managing industry, agriculture, commerce, trade, transportation, energy (non-military), resource exploration, and coordinated regional economic development. Karma possessed an agile mind and strategic vision, excelling at finding economic growth points amidst complex situations, serving as the core engine driving the civilization's material progress.

Right Deputy Chief Executive: Cindra

He shall oversee the domains of scientific research and education, managing the Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Education, all non-military research institutions, higher education, basic research, technology transfer, and intellectual property. Cindra possessed a profound research background, deep-set vision, and an insatiable desire to explore the boundaries of knowledge, making him a pivotal figure in igniting the spark of the civilization's wisdom.

Rear Deputy Chief Executive: Taira

He shall oversee the domains of livelihood, welfare, and infrastructure, managing civil administration, health, social security, housing and urban-rural development, environmental protection, culture, sports, tourism, and civilization-wide mega-infrastructure projects (such as stargate network maintenance and expansion, planetary terraforming, and the construction of colossal residential zones). Taira was pragmatic, diligent, and deeply devoted to the grassroots, serving as the bridge connecting the government to billions of citizens.

"Furthermore," He Feng added as five names appeared on the light screen, "five government commissioners shall be appointed, ranking equal to Deputy Chief Executives, to participate in core governmental decision-making meetings, assisting respective Deputy Chief Executives in focusing on specific key areas or concurrently serving as heads of major departments."

These five individuals were likewise meticulously selected angel elites who would serve as formidable pillars for the Deputy Chief Executives in their respective domains.

"Sima," He Feng looked toward the newly appointed Chief Executive, "you shall take the lead in integrating all existing administrative, economic, and scientific research resources and institutions."

"Produce the initial drafts of the Tianyi Star Government reorganization plan and the millennium development outline. Your primary task is to utilize the computing power of the Tianyi Cauldron to optimize resource allocation and unleash the developmental potential suppressed by past 'deformities'!"

"Livelihood and infrastructure—Taira, you must prioritize their security; research and education—Cindra, you must immediately lay out the future; the economic engine—Karma, it must be set to full throttle!"

"Understood, Your Majesty!" Sima, alongside the other deputy executives and commissioners, responded in unison, their eyes gleaming with the determination to turn the blueprint into reality.

An efficient and professional administrative core was rapidly taking shape.

The atmosphere of the meeting suddenly shifted, and an intangible, iron-blooded aura of stern severity began to pervade the hall.

The magnificent royal robes worn by He Feng now seemed to reflect a cold, hard metallic sheen.

He turned toward the other side of the conference hall, where the foundation of the civilization's military might sat—male angel generals and military-industrial magnates clad in various standardized military uniforms or research engineering attire.

"The foundation of the civilization has been set, and the blueprint for development has been unfurled."

He Feng's voice turned into something resembling a quenched blade, "Yet, without a sturdy shield and a sharp sword to guard them, all prosperity is merely an illusion in a mirror, a moon reflected in water!"

"The light of the Tianyi Cauldron does not merely illuminate development; it must forge invincible armed might!"

On the light screen, the emblems of the Senate and the Government dimmed slightly as an even sharper insignia composed of crossed swords and stars burst into brilliant illumination—

The Tianyi Military Commission—erupted into existence!

"The Tianyi Military Commission shall be the 'rampart' and 'blade' of our civilization's territory! It shall oversee:"

Defense Strategy: Formulating civilization-wide military strategies and defense policies, conducting war potential assessments, and planning mobilization.

Military Infrastructure Construction: Planning, constructing, and maintaining all military bases such as planetary fortresses, deep-space citadels, and shipyards; defense systems such as planetary shields, interstellar blockade fields, training bases, and logistical hubs.

Military Equipment Research, Development, and Manufacturing: Its core function! Leading the military-industrial complex. Responsible for the design, research, development, testing, mass production, and fielding of:
Individual weaponry, armor, vehicles, and tactical equipment.
Warships of all classes (from small patrol craft to celestial-scale dreadnoughts).
Strategic and tactical weapon systems (energy weapons, kinetic weapons, spatial weapons, and information warfare weapons).
Super-warrior genetic upgrade and genetic modification technologies (overlapping with government research, but focused on military enhancement and practical combat application).
The allocation of the Tianyi Cauldron's military computing power and the integration of weapon systems.

Military Command:
Commanding, managing, and training all active super-warrior legions (existing conventional super-warrior forces).
Commanding, managing, and training large-scale aerospace conventional armies (composed of non-super-warriors or lower-tier super-warriors operating warships and heavy weapon platforms).
Responsible for military discipline, promotions, logistics, and personnel.

"The post of Chairman of the Tianyi Military Commission," He Feng's gaze landed with substantial weight upon a stalwart male angel general with a resolute visage and eyes as sharp as an eagle's, "shall be held by Nork!"

Nork sprang to attention, his posture as straight as a javelin. He struck his left breast heavily with a clenched fist, producing a dull metallic crash. "I live to serve Your Majesty! I forge the shield and whet the sword for our civilization!"

His voice echoed like a war drum, laden with the murderous aura of a thousand armies. As a veteran who had followed He Feng through oceans of corpses and mountains of blood, he understood the paramount importance of power and was renowned for his iron-fisted governance and pragmatic military engineering philosophy.

"Nork," He Feng's voice carried the gravity of entrusting the state, "the burden upon your shoulders is heavier than the stars!"

"I require you to integrate all existing military research, production, and training resources within the shortest possible time. Your primary tasks are three:"

"Utilize the computing power of the Tianyi Cauldron to comprehensively upgrade our existing equipment architecture! From individual gear to flagship main batteries, I expect a quantum leap in capability!"

"Military-industrial production capacity must be immediately restored and expanded. The resource tilt prior to the completion of the Tianyi Cauldron must be recovered within the military sector, and doubled!"

"Reorganize and strengthen the existing super-warrior legions and conventional forces! Establish stricter training syllabi closer to actual combat conditions. Weed out the redundant and promote the elite."

"What I demand is an iron army that can fight at any moment and is bound to triumph in every battle!"

"Formulate a millennial defense construction and equipment development plan!"

"Objective: Secure the absolute military supremacy of the Tianyi Civilization in the known and unknown universe! The proposal must be submitted directly to me!"

"Nork acknowledges the command! I shall not fail Your Majesty's trust!" Nork's voice was absolute and unyielding.

The six male angel military commissioners he had called upon stood and saluted simultaneously. They were top-tier experts in their respective fields, heading equipment research, production, infrastructure, super-warrior training, conventional force command, and strategic planning, respectively.

The meeting seemed to draw to a close, but a far more intense flame burned within He Feng's eyes.

He slowly descended from the podium, his measured steps bringing him to the center of the hall, his gaze seeming to pierce through the dome to gaze out into the boundless sea of stars.

"Everyone," his voice was soft, yet possessed a strange piercing quality that caused all civil and military officials present to hold their breath.

"The Senate establishes rules and laws, the government governs the realm and pacifies the people, the military commission forges shields and whets swords... this is sufficient to sustain a powerful civilization."

"However," he pivoted abruptly, his momentum surging instantly, "what we require is far more than merely a powerful civilization!"

He spun around sharply, his gaze sweeping like lightning across the assembly, finally locking onto a male angel who had remained silently standing in the front ranks of the military commission's generals, his stature as heavy as a mountain yet his eyes clear and resolute.

"We need a sword! A peerless divine weapon that is unbreakable, invincible, capable of piercing despair in the darkest star sector and bringing victory on the most hopeless battlefield!"

"A supreme blade that belongs solely to me, He Feng, King of Tianyi, and pledges allegiance only to the core will of the Tianyi Civilization!"

"An invincible legion capable of suppressing all opposing forces!"

The hall fell deathly silent, broken only by the faint hum of the operating Tianyi Cauldron. Everyone sensed that a decision destined to be recorded in history was about to be born.

He Feng's voice carried the passionate fervor of a pioneer: "What I intend to establish surpasses all known concepts."

"The 'Tianyi Legion'!"

On the light screen, an oppressive legion insignia composed of burning stars and a descending sword abruptly flared into light!

"It shall be the supreme symbol of the armed might of the Tianyi Civilization and the Order of Light!"

"It shall be the civilization's ultimate defense line and sharpest spearhead!"

"It shall be the extension of my royal power as He Feng!"

He Feng's voice rang out like a proclamation:

"All members super-warriors?"

"No! What I want are monsters among super-warriors!"

"Legends among the elite!"

"Genetic tier restrictions?"

"No! Genetic tiers are not the threshold; practical combat capability, fighting will, and absolute loyalty to the civilization are the sole standards!"

"Even if someone is currently only first-generation, as long as they are strong enough, ruthless enough, and loyal enough, the Tianyi Civilization will pile resources upon them until they become gods!"

"Resources? We now possess the Tianyi Cauldron!"

"Resources can be found at any time and gathered at maximum speed!"

"Massive scale?"

"No! Quality over quantity!"

"The final official membership is strictly capped at 120 individuals!"

"These 120 individuals shall be the 120 invincible beings upon future battlefields that cause the gods to tremble! The hundred who will sweep across the known universe!"

"Selection!" He Feng's gaze locked firmly upon the mountain-like general.

"Dema!"

Dema stepped forward, causing the ground beneath him to tremble slightly. He struck his chest with his fist, his voice as steady as the earth: "Dema is here! Awaiting Your Majesty's decree!"

"I appoint you as the Chief Director for the formation of the 'Tianyi Legion'!"

He Feng's command brooked no dissent, "You shall possess full authority over the selection, training, and initial establishment of the legion!"

"I grant you the highest clearance to mobilize resources, and the military computing power of the Tianyi Cauldron shall prioritize your needs! Nork, the Military Commission will fully cooperate with Dema!"

"Understood!" Nork and Dema responded simultaneously.

"Selection scope: Covering all active-duty and reserve super-warriors across the entire civilization!"

"Regardless of race (though the core must be led by male angel bloodlines) and regardless of background!"

He Feng's voice carried the tyrannical breadth of an ocean embracing all rivers, "The process must be the most cruel, the most authentic, and the 'hell trials' capable of squeezing every ounce of potential from them! Even if it means real death for them!"

Phase One:
Auditions: "Establish registration points across all major military regions and research institutions (for those with combat talent) to conduct preliminary screening."

"The objective is to select 10,000 seeds qualified to enter the next round! These 10,000 individuals will earn the title of 'Candidates' and receive preliminary resource tilt."

Purgatory Drill: "Personally designed and led by Dema, they will undergo a hundred years of inhuman torment inside extreme battlefield environments simulated by the Tianyi Cauldron with nearly impossible, ultra-high-intensity tasks—grind them mercilessly!"

"The attrition rate will exceed 90%! The goal is to retain 1,000 true elites—the 'Reserves'."

Final Culling: "Among these 1,000 reserves, there shall be up to two hundred years of ultimate confrontation, teamwork exercises, loyalty tests, and potential evaluations."

Ultimately, the instructor corps led by Dema (including top powerhouses like Nork) will jointly evaluate and select the absolute best, finalizing the 120 supreme official membership slots!

"Remember, Dema," He Feng walked up to Dema, their eyes clashing in mid-air, "I do not want docile sheep; I want fierce beasts capable of tearing the stars apart!"

"Madmen capable of creating miracles in desperate situations! Death-seekers willing to spill their very last drop of blood for the civilization! This roster of 120 names will be your most precious answer sheet presented to the civilization!"

"Remember! I care nothing for your casualty numbers; I demand only the 'Tianyi Legion'! However many die, I will replenish them for you!"

"The selection begins immediately!"

"Dema shall forge the 'Tianyi Divine Blade' capable of severing all things for Your Majesty!"

Dema's voice was imbued with an iron-and-blood will, his eyes burning with the fanaticism of forging an invincible legion.

He Feng cast a final glance around the magnificent council chamber, looking upon the newly appointed core officials and cadres.

The light of the Tianyi Cauldron illuminated their resolute and fervent faces.

"Today, we have reshaped the skeleton of our civilization and ignited the crucible of our martial might!"

He Feng's voice sounded like the tolling bell of a new era.

"The future of Tianyi rests in your hands! Meeting adjourned!"

He turned once more, his magnificent robed figure receding into the azure glow of the Tianyi Cauldron, appearing both like a far-sighted emperor and a master craftsman about to forge a divine weapon.

The grand curtain of the Tianyi Era officially rose amidst the roars of institutional reconstruction and military upgrading.

And that peerless divine weapon named the "Tianyi Legion" would likewise begin to nurture its initial edge through the tempering of blood and fire.

From this moment onward, the Tianyi Civilization officially entered an era of rapid mega-infrastructure, massive expansion, surging development, and a technological explosion.
