Chapter 1010 – Admired And Feared
Life inside the empire kept advancing steadily and calmly with all signs pointing out towards its prosperity and growing strength. Right now the mages' academies were established by many leaders of the armies of the empire.
Gege didn't need to take them inside her garden world anymore. All those youths with potential were supported by the empire. In each city was a branch of these academies, with each favoring part of the mages' life.
Some focused on the innate talents, others focused on teamwork. But all were attentive to growing the entire strength of the individual and the armies.
During the past months, the sheer number of the new talents in the mage lines was just astronomical. Each academy had hundreds of thousands learning and training under the guidance of esteemed and capable mages.
Despite the fact that the armies were fighting everywhere, there were still many who were dispatched by these armies to attend the academies and make sure the new seedlings would grow stronger faster.
Everything started with a mere person, Sara. since the beginning of her rebirth and she had such overwhelming emotions towards her past civilization.
She valued the castle of the sky project and when time was ripe, she started the first academy ever. It carried the same name as the castle of the sky.
Her efforts were noticed by everyone. No one was a fool and they all realized fast the great importance of such a move. So everyone started to establish their various academies.
Despite they all came from clan based culture, the new culture introduced by Sara coupled with the previous efforts of Arthur by giving special attention to new talents in the mages made them more acceptable to such approach.
Unlike their clans which were based entirely on bloodlines, they all started to take a new approach in nourishing talents based on their strength.
Gradually everyone started to discover their own interests. Some were interested in strength, others were interested in team strength, while few were interested in other branches like arrays, diagrams, and even forging and alchemy.
Like a monster lying low and preparing its might, the entire empire worked in such unison and under such calmness for months. The newly added blood coming from the various regions of this planet helps in adding more to these academies.
Gradually these academies started to gain honor and create a name for themselves. Gradually everyone eyed those learning there as elites, celebrities among common people.
It became a life changer if any family had a kid with a talent as a mage. It even reached to make grand celebrations all over the cities.
At the same time, the presence of such a strong financial base helped in strengthening the lives of everyone. Those who lived under the threat of death their entire lives knew the new taste of freedom.
As they all lived most of their lives under confinement, it was logical to see herds of people leaving cities and decide to build villages and towns all around. Gradually the entire empire began to show signs of growing into a mighty and civilized form, where cities would be surrounded by tens of villages and few towns.
Anywhere in the empire the lives of people prospered and began to give excellent results. Not only did the economy grow steadily, but the quality of people's lives became exceptionally good.
Fights became scarce and crimes started to vanish. Tyranny became part of the past and slavery turned into a myth. Under the justice established by the strong rulers of the empire, people entered a new era, a prosper era.
The news of the growing empire traveled not only to this planet, but also to other worlds. After all, the grand fight going on here wasn't just the focus of the people living here, but it stretched to reach even the clans of the higher worlds.
The example set by Arthur and his people was really exceptional. No one ever heard of such an empire before, where people were equal and had the same chances of living and learning to become mages.
The terms of bloodlines and clans started to slowly change into talents and personal abilities.
But even if people eyed the current progress of the empire, no one tried to mimic it and succeeded. It wasn't easy to change the fixed rules that ran for long eons in the minds of people.
What they didn't notice was that the empire wasn't born all of sudden like they observed. This idea started a long time ago when Arthur came to this world, challenging the rules of it and defying the existing taboos.
To be able to establish such an empire, people needed someone like Arthur. Not only brave or strong, but able to defy the existing shackles and smash them.
If not with pure strength, then with will and grand effort. With utmost devotion and clear conscience and believing in one self, anyone could build such a thriving empire.
But was that easy? In fact it wasn't! Each clan in the upper realms had their own rules. In their eyes, they wanted to subdue others to follow their own model.
No one tried to really think outside the box, act outside the known rules and create new ones suited for the grand term of empire.
So any attempt was faced with devastating failure, to such an extent that people started to eye Arthur's empire as an existence defying any logic and common sense.
No one saw the empire as a small achievement anymore. In fact they became wary of it. How could someone coming from a low realm with meager strength and no background be able to establish such a grand existence as the empire?
But especially because of these factors Arthur was able to achieve what he had today. If not for his own dreams, to shatter every rule and stand against all powers, then he wouldn't have reached such heights.
Plus luck, one needed luck more than anything else to be able to mimic Arthur.
In the past few months, even in the eyes of his deadliest enemies, Arthur became an existence everyone admired and feared at the same time.
But the man who created all these legends was still immersed in his own cultivation, enjoying the baptism of the grand pillar and advancing his dragonair's power ceaselessly during all these months.
