The New Era Arrives: Giant World

Chapter 16 The Ever-Changing Eldia Empire

Over several years, Maria Fritz, the second ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire, undertook a large-scale revision and correction of the Empire's omissions and darker aspects. Simultaneously, she had the first confidants of the Eldian ancient emperor and their descendants, as well as all the high-ranking officials of the Eldian Empire worldwide—because the descendants of people from all over the world had become Eldianized, and given the arrogance and mistreatment of the descendants of people from other countries by the Eldian high-ranking officials—some were discreet, while others were blatant. Their accumulated crimes were meticulously recorded on a list by the first confidants of the Eldian ancient emperor and their descendants, and after going through layers of procedures, were finally handed over to Maria Fritz, the second ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire.

Next, Maria Fritz looked at the increasingly rampant list of crimes committed by the high-ranking officials of the Eldian Empire around the world, her heart heavy. She realized that if decisive measures were not taken to stop these atrocities, the entire Eldian Empire would descend into chaos and destruction. Therefore, she resolved to use her power to change everything and bring justice and order to the Eldian Empire. Maria Fritz decided to begin with internal reforms. She summoned all the high-ranking officials of the ancient Eldian Empire and read aloud the list of crimes before them. The officials began to stir; some tried to defend themselves, while others remained silent. Maria Fritz surveyed the room with a stern expression and declared: "The crimes cannot be concealed. We must face reality. From today onward, I will personally lead the reforms. Anyone who violates the law will be severely punished." Her words struck like a thunderbolt, and the hall fell silent. Maria Fritz, the second ancient emperor of the ancient Eldian Empire, then ordered her personal guards to set out from the ancient Eldian Empire to arrest those high-ranking officials in various countries around the world and to conduct trials. She also instructed the secret confidants of the first ancient Eldian emperor to coordinate their arrests. Those who resisted would be stripped of their status and position, reduced to the lowest class, and deprived of their freedom for life. The first ancient emperor of the ancient Eldian Empire then set out to bring justice and order to the ancient Eldian Empire—a difficult yet deeply meaningful task. Maria Fritz knew that to achieve this goal, a thorough overhaul from within was necessary.

She resolutely took the first step, summoning all the high-ranking officials of the ancient Eldian Empire. In that solemn setting, before everyone, she fearlessly read aloud the list of crimes. The officials began to stir; some tried to defend themselves, claiming their innocence; others remained silent, seemingly deep in thought. However, Maria Fritz's authoritative gaze swept across the room, her voice firm and powerful:

"The crimes cannot be covered up! We must face reality! From today onwards, I will personally lead the reforms, and anyone who violates the law will be severely punished!"

Her words struck like a thunderbolt, plunging the entire hall into a deathly silence. No one dared to challenge the authority of this second-generation ancient emperor, for they knew that her words were true.

Immediately afterward, Maria Fritz decisively issued orders. She dispatched her personal guard, departing from the ancient Eldian Empire, to launch a global operation. Their mission was to arrest the high-ranking Eldian Empire officials scattered throughout the world and bring them to a just trial.

This was a difficult mission, but Maria Fritz firmly believed that only through such means could the internal corruption be eradicated and the glory of the ancient Eldian Empire restored. She was determined to let the light of justice illuminate this ancient land and restore order to its people. With the full assistance of the first confidants of the first Eldian Emperor, the Eldian Imperial Guard worked together to successfully arrest the high-ranking officials of the Eldian Empire from various countries around the world who had committed heinous crimes. Immediately afterwards, they solemnly announced to the world that these heinous criminals would be executed to purify the disloyal and treacherous high-ranking officials within the Eldian Empire.

Meanwhile, the Eldian Empire dispatched its first emperor's trusted confidants to take over high positions in various countries occupied by corrupt officials, ordering them to rigorously apprehend anyone who violated the Eldian Empire's ironclad rules and bottom line. Faced with this situation, the first emperor's confidants paid homage to you, expressing their willingness to clear all obstacles for the second emperor, eliminating all unfavorable factors, hostile forces, and rebels that threatened the long-term stability of the Eldian Empire. At the same time, the second Eldian emperor, Maria Fritz, generously bestowed upon the first emperor's trusted confidants the highest honor, an honor that held significant importance not only at the time but also had a profound impact on future generations. In the following years, your sisters also conceived children. To create a peaceful era for future generations, you resolutely launched the Great Purge of the Eldian Empire, thoroughly eliminating those corrupt and harmful officials within the empire.

During this period, you also ordered the confidants and descendants of the ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire to spend several years meticulously collecting information on the secret activities of high-ranking leaders from various countries around the world, as well as the Eldian Empire's own elite, and to record all these events on a list. With this vast collection of lists, you gained immense power to expose those scoundrels hiding in the shadows. Simultaneously, you spent a tremendous amount of time sifting through that long and tedious list, selecting from it a group of the most inhuman, manipulative, and even exploitative high-ranking individuals, including the citizens of the Eldian Empire. Next, you uncovered another group of high-ranking officials with extremely bizarre hobbies: some had a strong interest in watching others fight to the death; others enjoyed toying with people's feelings and destroying their families; and still others openly trampled on the rules established by the Eldian Empire. After Maria Fritz, the second ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire, finished reading the compiled materials, she personally wrote instructions in her imperial edict, ordering her to cooperate with the messengers in a secret operation to capture these heinous high-ranking officials in one fell swoop. At the same time, she ordered the first confidants of the Eldian ancient emperor and their descendants to carry Maria Fritz's personal edict to the Rosse tribe, the Maria tribe, the Xina tribe, the Eldian Empire headquarters, and other tribes within the Eldian Empire, to carry out covert operations. Through meticulous planning, they attempted to subdue all the high-ranking officials of various countries and the Eldian Empire in one fell swoop. Immediately afterward, a breathtaking and fierce battle erupted.

With its overwhelming numerical superiority and the assistance of top talents over the past few years, the military of the Eldian Empire has achieved astonishing leaps in all areas, its strength advancing by leaps and bounds, reaching its zenith. However, just as the world's high-ranking officials were sound asleep, something unexpected happened—the entire elite of the Eldian Empire was summoned to the capital in a dream!

After some time, when everyone had arrived, Maria Fris, the second-generation ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire, clapped her hands. The descendants of the first generation of Eldian imperial confidants, who had been hidden in the shadows, immediately appeared and quickly surrounded all the high-ranking officials around the conference table. These officials were then escorted to the Eldian Empire's prison and imprisoned. Meanwhile, the first generation of Eldian imperial confidants, along with five important military units of the Eldian Empire and the high-ranking officials from various countries in the prison, headed towards the Eldian Empire. Time passed swiftly, and after a long period, high-ranking officials from all over the world were escorted to the Eldian Empire's prison by the first generation of Eldian imperial confidants and members of the five Eldian military tribes. At the same time, they meticulously planned and deployed the leaders of the five Eldian military tribes to heavily guard the prison, ensuring no loopholes. Immediately afterwards, the first confidants of the ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire, along with the leaders of the five military tribes, returned to report to you. At this moment, Maria Fritz, the second ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire, presented a meticulously compiled list of numerous serious crimes committed by high-ranking officials of various countries and the Eldian Empire itself.

However, when the first confidants of the ancient Eldian emperor witnessed overwhelming evidence that most of the high-ranking officials harbored treacherous intentions towards the ancient Eldian imperial family and attempted to undermine the long-standing rule of the Eldian Empire, they were filled with extreme anger and indignation. Meanwhile, the leaders of the five important military tribes of the Eldian Empire also grew increasingly grim and resentful. They utterly loathed these high-ranking officials! Their actions were truly outrageous and intolerable! Thus, the high-ranking officials of various countries and the Eldian Empire began to play a game of so-called "outward compliance but inward defiance."

However, the very next day, Maria Fritz, the second ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire, stepped forward and publicly exposed to the world the various crimes committed by the high-ranking officials of the Eldian Empire and other countries. This act ignited extreme resentment and dissatisfaction towards these individuals worldwide, sparking a surge of desire for revenge.

Immediately following, Maria Fritz, the second ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire, decisively ordered the Eldian army to remove the high-ranking officials from the world's various nations and the Eldian Empire from their prisons and bind them separately in open areas. She then ordered the Eldian army to remove the obstacles that had been used to obstruct ordinary people from the world and the people of Eldia. Simultaneously, the Eldian army quietly withdrew to one side. Then, ordinary people from around the world and the people of Eldia surged forward like a tide, surrounding the high-ranking officials and important figures of Eldia. They vented their anger and discontent, creating an extremely tense atmosphere.

Time ticked by, but the ordinary people from all over the world and the people of the ancient Eldian Empire did not disperse. On the contrary, they fought even more fiercely, expressing their grief over the loss of their loved ones and their hatred for those behind the scenes. In this long and intense beating, the corpses of high-ranking officials from various countries and nobles of the ancient Eldian Empire gradually became unrecognizable, eventually turning into a pile of minced meat.

A month after the storm, Maria Fritz, the second ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire, issued an order to dispatch trusted confidants of the ancient emperors of the Eldian Empire to fill vacant high-ranking positions in various countries and within the Eldian Empire itself. This decision was undoubtedly aimed at stabilizing the situation and ensuring the normal operation of the ancient empire. Simultaneously, they urgently selected a group of suitable talents and personnel, injecting fresh blood into the Eldian Empire. Furthermore, the Eldian Empire increased its demands on its five key military departments and accelerated their development. Thus, the Eldian Empire, after its collapse, developed even more rapidly.

A few days later, Maria Fritz, the second Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire, ordered the first generation of trusted advisors of the Eldian Ancient Emperors to search for Rose Fritz, the Great Ancient Empress of the Eldian Empire, her husband Karan Kruger, the Great Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire, and their children—Xina Fritz, the Second Ancient Empress of the Eldian Empire, Dick Grice, the Second Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire, and their children—Ajei Yeager, the Second Ancient Empress of the Eldian Empire, and the children of Maria Fritz, the Second Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire. Several days later, the members of the Eldian Ancient Imperial Family gathered. In this solemn and mysterious occasion, Rose Fritz, the Great Ancient Empress, displayed her unique ability—the Power of Destiny. Through this power, she witnessed a terrible catastrophe and the disintegration of the Eldian Ancient Empire.

Filled with anxiety, Rose Fritz decided to summon the second Ancient Emperor, Maria Fritz, and her daughter, Xena Fritz, to reveal to them the general trajectory of the Eldian Ancient Empire and its impending annihilation. Upon hearing this startling prophecy, the second Ancient Emperor, Maria Fritz, expressed her deep helplessness: "The future is beyond our control. The only thing we can do is constantly warn future generations against allowing the Eldian Ancient Empire's imperial family to split apart. However, the world is unpredictable, and some unforeseen events are unavoidable. After all, even the most powerful nation cannot last forever."

In this era filled with challenges and unknowns, the fate of the ancient Eldian Empire seems sealed. Although they are aware of the approaching crisis, whether they can take effective measures to deal with this catastrophe remains uncertain. The wheels of history roll ever onward, and even the greatest empires can face decline and annihilation. Faced with an unpredictable future, they can only place their hopes on the wisdom and courage of their descendants, hoping that one day they can successfully avert this catastrophic disaster. But as time passes, everything in the world is constantly changing. All sorts of characters will gradually emerge, which could lead to the disintegration and fragmentation of a powerful nation. At this moment, you must tell your sisters: Because I possess the power of death, I foresee that our time in this world is running out. Therefore, you must teach your children to be strong as soon as possible and make them understand that maintaining the absolute rule and status of the ancient Eldian Empire is of paramount importance. At the same time, your husbands must constantly monitor the children's every move, and when they discover that they have made wrong decisions or engaged in inappropriate behavior, they must immediately step forward to correct them. Furthermore, you should urge your husbands to hold regular exchange meetings to gain a deeper understanding of each child's innermost thoughts, thereby better guiding them and helping them completely get rid of those outrageous thoughts and rebellious behaviors.

Hearing this, your two younger sisters looked serious and promised you firmly, "Sister, please rest assured, we will definitely cultivate the children's correct behavior patterns and ways of thinking as soon as possible. Moreover, even if we are no longer here one day, we will instruct their father to continue to shoulder this responsibility, so that even after we are gone, he can still strictly demand of the children and correct any inappropriate behaviors or psychological activities they may exhibit. After all, as members of the ancient imperial family of the Eldia Ancient Empire, this is our duty and our inescapable responsibility!"

In the days that followed, the three sisters devoted themselves to teaching their children. They imparted wisdom and courage, cultivating in them a sense of responsibility and justice. Time flew by, and the children grew up, understanding the importance of maintaining the empire's rule and learning to be resilient.
