Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

The whole Senter Valley was modified and made into a small country which housed over two billion people. Even though it was just temporary, Lan Ming had not spared any effort to make it a comfortable base.

Every single one of the residents here was confused and in panic. Their life was already messed up and the sudden changes scared them.

Some saw it as an opportunity to escape from their enslavement and tried to run, but couldn't do so.

The Senter Valley was very close to the Hollow Mountains and filled with terrifying Spiritual Creatures, so Shen Yu had modified the barrier so that no one could travel through that.

Fortunately, the former slaves were quickly informed about their situation, which didn't really help much considering they were still sceptical about everything.

After all, who would save miserable people like them? And why? They probably had some ulterior motives, right?

Those were the questions running in their minds as they settled down in the base. They were served a very good, delicious meal and were also taken care of, which helped them calm their nerves slightly.

It was then that they saw a giant hologram appearing before them. For people who remained alone, the hologram was small and individual. But wherever a group of people gathered, the hologram became bigger so that everyone could see it.

On the screen, a young man with a godly appearance sat with a warm smile on his face. Even if there was some cautiousness and fear in everyone's heart, that smile removed everything.

They could feel his intentions somehow and knew the man meant no harm to them. It was an instinctive response, but the majority of them didn't even notice.

Focusing on the hologram, everyone leaned forward to listen to whatever their saviour was going to say. It was important and would possibly shape their future, after all.

While many had already given up on their life, there was still a flicker of hope that yearned to burn even brighter. So, they watched the hologram with their unbated attention.

Shen Yu cleared his throat and addressed the people in his warm, relaxed voice that soothed everyone's heart.

"Greetings, Free Men and Women. I am Shen Yu and also the one who helped you in regaining your freedom. I know, it may sound like I'm being arrogant about it, but actually I'm not. I truly feel your pain and sufferings, and that is why I decided to save every single one of you."

His words worked better when combined with his smile.

"I know you are confused, in panic, and lost about your future, but worry not. I have prepared for everything. First, I'll give you a rough report of what happened so you understand the situation clearly. The majority of the people there are familiar with the Slave Organisation, and others simply grew up there so they don't even realise what true freedom is."

He shifted backwards and said.

"Its existence has become a nightmare for many, but there is no reason to worry now. The Slave Organisation has been eradicated by me and my followers, so you will never see them ever again. Every single one of them is dead."

Hearing that, the whole Senter Valley turned silent before erupting in loud laughter. Many didn't know if they wanted to celebrate it or not, but others simply were too happy to care about these things.

All they knew was that the organisation which had tortured them and made their lives a living hell was gone. That was all that mattered.

Shen Yu also didn't speak at that time, letting everyone enjoy the moment. He could understand their sentiments, as he had felt something similar when he killed that Gang Boss's son who had enslaved him.

Revenge was a sweet poison.

After lingering for a while, he cleared his throat again, which silenced the whole valley. It was a pin-drop silence, as everyone eagerly awaited his orders.

This was what he intended to do. Getting the desired results, he smiled and said,

"The Slave Organisation is gone, but the Empire is still there. There are still the pieces of shit who believe in slavery and everything you despise. Unfortunately, they are the same people who are in power, so I can't leave you out there again. I don't need to explain what would happen if I do, right?"

Nobody said a word, but they understood him and agreed too. This damped their mood, as they were reminded of the fact that they were not free even though one of those organisations had been destroyed.

The root problem, the people in power, were still there.

"Haha! Don't make such faces. The Slave Organisation was just the starting point. I will change everything this Empire does wrong and create a new Empire after changing the people in power. But it may take some time and in that time, I can't let you out."

He put his chin on his palms and continued.

"I would like to avoid the war, but it's inevitable and I don't want to involve you all. So, I've decided to shift every single one of you to one of the islands far away from the Qing Empire. There is nothing on that Island, but that's a good sign."

Smiling, he said,

"We can just build everything according to what we like. I can't guarantee an ideal society where everyone is happy and all, but I can at least assure you that your life will be something you will choose. Nobody will make that decision for you."

He continued.

"I also know that some of you are not in the condition to decide such big things, so I've decided to appoint someone as your leader for the time being."

The hologram quickly changed with Xu Ming's live video playing beside Shen Yu. The majority of the people didn't recognise him, but those who did gritted their teeth in rage.

Shen Yu understood all of that, and that was why he decided to play his cards right in timing. The people would not accept Xu Ming so easily, but he never expected it to be that easy.

All he needed was to ease the rebellion that might follow when he put him as their head.
