In this vast land, having a powerful backing is extrely important for survival. The Ancient God Family is undoubtedly a top-tier pillar of support. Although it seems like their grip on Canggu City has encountered a minor hiccup, any discerning individual can see that this is nothing more than a brief growing pain. Even if Gu Bingbing is deed incompetent and eventually recalled to the Ancient God Family, they will still send another strong mber to manage Canggu City.
So, becoming a mber of the Ancient God Family ans grabbing hold of an imnse opportunity. From then on, you'll no longer need to worry about anything.
Therefore, as soon as this condition was announced, the once deserted City Lord's Mansion was suddenly flooded with nurous cultivators. These cultivators might not be particularly powerful in terms of cultivation, but they are quite skilled in other areas, even considered experts!
For instance, so are particularly adept in asset classification and analysis, others in accounting, and so excel in city developnt.
In short, a wide variety of talents filled a broad street outside the City Lord's Mansion within less than an hour!
Gu Bingbing was stunned. She had previously thought about recruiting talent. After all, after vanquishing several major families, the city's operations couldn't stop and required a substantial amount of talent to replenish. However, she was sowhat at a loss, wondering how many people would recognize her as the new City Lord in the current uneasy atmosphere of Canggu City.
However, she underestimated the aura she carried and the powerful impact of the title "mber of the Ancient God Family"!
This was sothing Sky Patriarch did first and reported later; he didn't ntion it to Gu Bingbing beforehand. When Gu Bingbing beca aware, she didn't think much of it. After all, being a mber of the Ancient God Family ant nothing to her. The Ancient God Family had always been eager for outstanding talent.
As a direct mber of the Ancient God Family, Gu Bingbing could even rally millions and grant them the status of Ancient God Family mbers!
Then, these people would beco Gu Bingbing's own people.
The Ancient God Family wouldn't interfere with such matters, providing full autonomy.
Subsequently, forty-eight mbers on the Investiture of the Gods began to fulfill their duties, without needing anyone to instruct them on what to do.
Although they seed high and mighty for countless years, appearing inactive, once this group decides to take action, their capabilities are unmatched worldwide, truly the strongest!
So are specifically in charge of dealing with mbers of surrendered major families; sealing them does not an it ends there. Those with severe cris are to be executed or abolished as needed, to give an explanation to all citizens of Canggu City and the Ancient God Family.
It's not reasonable for you to surrender and then face no consequences.
Those whose cris didn't warrant death are either abolished or controlled by so ancient thods, like grasping a strand of their primordial spirit.
Then, those people are turned into slaves, to carry out the lowest level tasks.
For the old, the weak, won, and children, the outco is slightly better but they still beco servants!
The world of cultivation is also about the survival of the fittest!
There's no need to complain about this, nor will anyone sympathize with them. They brought this upon themselves. Perhaps many of them are innocent, but when their families were committing evil deeds, they didn't stand up to stop them, happily enjoying the benefits their families provided. Therefore, when their families fall, they must suffer the consequences as well.
There will certainly be a few who escape, but it doesn't matter. From today, the major families of Canggu City have truly beco history. It won't take many years for people to forget them.
Perhaps only those lucky few who escaped will hold grudges against Gu Bingbing and the Ancient God Family in their hearts, but this is aningless. When their families were thriving, they couldn't even defeat one Gu Bingbing, let alone when they have fallen.
So, the final fate of those escapees is to live incognito, far from the influence of the Ancient God Family... living a quiet life.
Half a month later, all of Canggu City was renewed!
The areas previously damaged by the battles had long since been repaired. The once cold and quiet City Lord's Mansion had beco incredibly lively.
Interestingly, in the City Lord's Mansion, there were many mbers from the major families of Canggu City, so of whom were even core mbers! Now they have beco the servants and slaves of the City Lord's Mansion, doing the most nial tasks.
This wasn't Gu Bingbing's proposal—it was requested by these forr major family mbers themselves, crying and pleading for it!
Are they not resentful? Of course they are!
From the clouds to dust, how could they not hate it?
But what's the use of hatred? They are powerless to change this reality!
If these people were dispersed throughout Canggu City or simply exiled, their fate would be extrely miserable!
After much reflection, this group of people sadly realized that their best option was still to stay here in the City Lord's Mansion!
Thus, countless people fiercely competed for a spot to enter the City Lord's Mansion. Even so elder-level figures frantically recomnded themselves, claiming to have various skills suitable for various jobs, just for a bite to eat.
Seeing this, Gu Bingbing went with the flow and had a carefully selected batch of people co in to work at the City Lord's Mansion.
The abilities of this group are top-notch, even individually.
They also hoped in their hearts that one day they could gain the favor of Gu Bingbing, and perhaps have a chance for a coback.
Speaking of which, this possibility was not impossible. After all, fundantally, Gu Bingbing had no direct feuds with the other major families. It would be the sa if it were another person.
Gu Bingbing did not break the promises she once made. All the mbers on the Investiture of the Gods list received various honors and rewards.
Resources? They're abundant!
After disposing of several major families, the resources were so abundant that even Gu Bingbing, the daughter of the Ancient God Family who was accustod to wealth, was shocked.
Official positions... What do you want?
Canggu City is enormous!
Besides this large city, Canggu City governs over a hundred dium-sized cities, and tens of thousands of small cities. As for even smaller towns, they are as nurous as hairs on a bull, countless! The influence of the entire Canggu City spans billions of miles around!
Hence, it is quite easy to beco a local hegemon.
Gu Bingbing did just that.
Granting titles, appointing officials, bestowing lands!
She conferred territories directly to more than twenty of the forty-eight strong figures from the Investiture of the Gods list!
All of these twenty or so people were powerful figures from the ancestral realm, with abilities in various aspects, any one of which surpassed her by countless streets. Gu Bingbing was well aware of that.
During the farewell banquet, she sincerely said, "As I promised you all before, you do not disappoint , and I will not disappoint you! You will always be honored guests of mine, Gu Bingbing!"
By distributing these people, as long as war doesn't break out, or if war breaks out but Gu Bingbing isn't summoned, then they could always peacefully reign as local hegemons!
Gu Bingbing could even foresee that it wouldn't be long before Canggu City's sphere of influence underwent a complete transformation!
And this would be her Gu Bingbing's achievent!
She was the first in the Tunnel to do so. Those holding the Edict of the Investiture of the Gods kept tightly controlling those they held power over around them and wouldn't allow them to leave!
To this, Ouyang Fei sowhat wistfully remarked, "If back then the Luoshui Family had treated us this way, I think we definitely wouldn't have fled."
A bitter smile appeared on Zi Dao's face, and he nodded: "That's why this young lady, Gu, is truly formidable and very bold."
ng Na added from the side, "I think Chu Mo is even more remarkable…"
Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei nodded in agreent. To Chu Mo, they were now thoroughly convinced. They never imagined in their dreams that Chu Mo would make his mark from this place. Now, he had beco the brightest star beside Gu Bingbing!
The entire Canggu City noticed this. Wherever their City Lord went, there was always an average-looking young man accompanying her. Initially, people thought that young man was a bodyguard, but soon they discovered it wasn't the case. Gu Bingbing respected that young man greatly, consulting him in a low voice over matters.
From their deanor, it was clear they weren't a couple. So, the only answer was that the young man was the person Gu Bingbing trusted the most!
Gradually, news of Chu Mo's identity spread among so people. Although his na wasn't known, people knew he was one of those who repelled the Shalan Bandits outside Canggu City, saving countless people, and driving away those ancestral realm Shalan Bandits, and he was the most significant among them! People also knew that he had cut off one of the arms of the Shalan Bandits' leader, Shalan, a few days ago, astonishing and driving away the bandits; people further knew he thwarted the self-destructive plot of an ancestral realm cultivator trying to drag Canggu City with him...
This is a truly extraordinary figure!
He is very mysterious!
No one knows where he cos from.
But now in Canggu City, more than ninety percent of the people know about Chu Mo's existence.
Moreover, even Chu Mo himself didn't expect that in the hearts of Canggu City's people, his prestige is only second to Acting City Lord Gu Bingbing, ranking second! And it's just by a slight margin!
If Gu Bingbing didn't have the dual identity of City Lord and heir to the Ancient God Family, her prestige in this Canggu City would definitely trail behind Chu Mo until she was out of sight.
To this, Gu Bingbing seed completely indifferent, and Chu Mo was even less concerned.
