Chapter 491: Sparrow Empire

The Gobi Desert spans the four provinces of Mongolia and stretches across the vast land of northern East Asia, where the Jedi formed by deserts and bare rocks occupy a vast space that has been inaccessible to people for hundreds of years.

Today, there are only sand and rocks in the barren area, but "little mushrooms" grow on them, which are the dwellings of the settlers. It has been several months since the founding of the Shengyuan Empire, and the construction projects that have been working three shifts day and night without stopping for a moment have not only made the engineering contractors and construction parties make a lot of money, but also made more and more traces of civilization appear on the desert.

Viewed from above, the shape of the Shengyuan Empire's architectural complex was similar to the concentric circles formed by the original tents around the Stone Palace.

At the center of the ring is the Imperial Palace, which is like a piece of sand in front of jewels compared to its historic predecessors, such as the Forbidden City, the Louvre, the Kremlin, Buckingham Palace, and the Potala Palace, but compared to the surrounding buildings, the Holy Palace is enough to be described as magnificent and splendid.

The first circle outside the palace is the residence of the Holy Son of the Evolution God Cult, the Holy Son Godmother, the Cardinal Cardinal and the Duke of the Shengyuan Empire.

The second circle of concentric circles is the residence of the hundred officials of the empire, most of the hundred officials are the holy clan that has undergone several evolutions and has strong combat power, and there are also a few humans who believe in the holy clan but have not yet been transformed into the holy clan, they are not unqualified to accept the transformation ceremony, but the holy clan needs their management skills and smart minds, and after the conversion of the holy clan, they may not be able to better serve the holy yuan empire, so until the holy emperor gives permission, they will continue to serve the empire as human beings.

Of course, even if the subjects of the empire will be discriminated against because of their human status, they will not be treated differently by the law of the country, as long as they wear court clothes and wear jade plaques to show their identity, even if the low-ranking saints of the first class citizenship see them, they must bow their heads and salute.

The third circle of concentric circles is the residence of first-class citizens, most of the first-class citizens are low-level saint clans who have not obtained official status, as saint clans, they naturally enjoy a status beyond that of human believers in the Holy Yuan Empire, and if they make special contributions and receive rewards, they will have the rank of advancement.

The fourth circle of concentric circles, outside the city, is a gathering place for second- and third-class citizens, a stinking slum inhabited by sinful low-class saints and even inferior-status human beings. Among them, those who are related to the human officials in the hundred officials, and who contribute to the empire when they enter the Shengyuan Empire, such as donating property and donating the remains of relatives, are second-class citizens, and they have the right to enter and leave the main city freely, so as to better serve their higher-status human compatriots and serve the empire.

The status of third-class citizens was only one line higher than that of slaves, almost equivalent to the pigs kept in captivity in the Empire, for whom the upward channel was basically closed.

Third-class citizens who take the initiative to donate their bodies may be able to make their children become second-class citizens, and second-class citizens will be demoted to third-class citizens after violating the laws of the country, and after making meritorious contributions or making sufficient contributions, they will be able to leave a mark on the list of saints, and when the conversion quota falls on their heads, they will be able to accept the transformation ceremony, become a glorious and great saint, and obtain the status of first-class citizens.

It seems that human beings also have the opportunity to climb to the top of the empire, but in fact, although the Shengyuan Empire has just been founded, the class solidification is very serious, because the improvement of strength requires human flesh, and the distribution of human flesh is completely in the hands of the Holy Emperor, the Divine Sect and the hundred officials.

Many sociologists find it inconceivable that such a bizarre product could actually become a country – small and not even comparable to a prefecture-level city in China.

No matter how big the difference in strength is, as long as the oppression lasts for a long time, there will naturally be resistance. However, before the flame of rebellion could be ignited, it was extinguished by the demon tide.

Thousands of monsters rushed out of the cracks, not only preying on the nomadic tribes of Mongolia, but also attacking the territory of the Shengyuan Empire more than once.

Perhaps this is a good thing in the eyes of the adults in the inner three circles, because the Mongolian army is unable to protect the people, resulting in a large number of people giving up their Mongolian nationality and seeking asylum in the empire in order to survive, which injects fresh blood into the empire and also opens an upward channel for some people, which is clearly a good thing for development.

But in the eyes of lowly human believers, this is a very bad and terrible thing, because scarcity is expensive, and the addition of latecomers does not mean that their status has been improved, on the contrary, the number of third-class citizens has increased dramatically, making the status of human beings fall again and again.

To make matters worse, there are more people and more food consumption. Since the advent of the Demon Tide, the outside world's transportation channels to the empire have gradually closed, and the limited stock of food is difficult to replenish, while the number of mouths for food has been increasing, and the consequence is that second-class citizens and third-class citizens have received fewer and fewer rewards and food quotas, and sooner or later they will fall to the level of starvation.

Of course, the Holy Clan Lord couldn't bear to let the humans in the slums starve to death, and who wanted to see their own pigs consume their fat in their meaningless and worthless daily labor?

So one policy after another was introduced to induce the human beings in the slums to donate their bodies voluntarily, and the Empire's method was simple, posting notices informing everyone that those who voluntarily became called would be screened with the remaining ninety-nine draftees, of whom the ninety-nine glorious ones would die without pain after three days of good life, and their bodies would be donated to the Empire, and their relatives would receive a certain amount of additional food rations, and the last lucky one would not only bring home a lot of food, but also have first-class citizenship.

One out of a hundred, what a small probability, this is clearly the Empire's means of murdering civilians in the name of legality, but there is an endless stream of callers, not necessarily thinking that they can become one percent of the lucky ones, but some people really can't live anymore, and they are powerless to resist, and they are willing to give up their lives in exchange for three days of good life without worrying about food and clothing, and make some contributions to their families.

Today, another hundred Electors gathered in the arena outside the palace under the escort of the Black Armor Guards, all of them looking nervous, and some of them even weakened their legs and could not stand firmly, because they knew that they were about to usher in the final verdict, and the mortality rate was as high as 99%.

Humans are one of the most life-hungry animals, and no matter how much courage they muster when called, they will be exhausted in three days, leaving only fear and luck.

In the silence of slaughter, the Holy Emperor, who was as dazzling as the sun, slowly ascended to the high platform, dressed in purple and gold imperial robes and wearing a stone crown on her head, looking down.
