Faced with Ding Yun's actions, everyone was shocked and surprised, but truly helpless. Her moves were rational and legal, demonstrating a thorough understanding of the matter.
Most importantly, her method of mass-producing Venerables was something no one else could replicate.
She alone could tread this path to the summit.
It was certain she was unprecedented.
Whether there would be successors later remained to be seen.
Witnessing this, the common beastman populace's support for Ding Yun soared. They believed someone with such formidable power could lead them to glory, unlike the previous dozen or so council chairmen who were cowardly and merely pawns.
Many beastman alliance council members, whose passion hadn't waned and who still harbored hope, were deeply moved.
They secretly felt that Ding Yun might truly be their hope.
Only their adversaries felt their hands and feet grow cold, their hearts trembling. They were shocked that Ding Yun could now dispatch forty-eight Venerables at any moment, and that she had cultivated so many in such a short time.
Some who had harbored such fears earlier.
Felt as if the sky was collapsing.
The situation was now starkly clear: Ding Yun had clearly deceived them earlier through some means, preventing them from noticing those Venerables. Only when the momentum was overwhelming did she fully reveal her strength.
And they knew all too well what the weak did once they became powerful: they sought to challenge the old order and contend for new hegemonic status.
It was likely to be another terrifying struggle.
Of course, regardless of others' worries, Ding Yun proceeded with the election of the council chairman immediately after all the governors, who also served as council members, were in place.
She then smoothly secured the highest number of votes.
Successfully succeeding as the new chairman of the Beastman Alliance.
With Ding Yun officially becoming the new chairman, she immediately initiated a comprehensive reform, from top to bottom, encompassing agriculture, industry, politics, and economics. The most crucial reform was abolishing the existing parliamentary system and establishing a monarchy, with herself as the first monarch of the Beastman planet, proclaimed the Panda Empress.
If this was considered a subversion.
The next command was even more world-shattering: she announced that she would no longer recognize any unequal treaties, territorial concessions, or compensation agreements from the previous regime, the parliamentary system.
All lands and mineral resources were to be reclaimed.
Development was impossible without all sorts of resources. Although with current technology, acquiring resources from space was not difficult, many space resources were relatively singular. They lacked the diversity and ease of extraction found in the Beastman planet's own resources, which was common knowledge.
To escape this predicament, and even the quasi-colonial status, reclaiming lands and mineral resources was essential. This was something Ding Yun had planned for a long time. The reform was intended to completely negate everything of the previous regime through a change of dynasty, including the ownership of land and mineral resources, thereby reclaiming them legitimately.
After all, what did the regulations of the previous regime have to do with the new one?
Abolishing the old and establishing the new was reasonable and natural.
Initially, some ordinary beastmen felt bewildered, wondering if restoring such an ancient monarchy was a bad idea. However, after Ding Yun issued the command to negate all unequal treaties under the parliamentary system, everyone saw no issue with it, and many even agreed.
Some felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Yes, what a brilliant idea!
Why hadn't they thought of it?
A change of dynasty, negating everything from the previous regime, was too logical. However, the prerequisite was that they had to withstand the attacks from the Imperial Star and the Psionic Planet. Only if they survived would all this truly succeed. If they couldn't, the Beastman planet would likely fall even deeper.
No longer in a quasi-colonial state.
But completely becoming a colony.
Ding Yun, of course, was well aware of this. Therefore, the next step was a comprehensive purge of the forces of the Imperial Star and the Psionic Planet stationed on the Beastman planet, and the reclamation of all land and mining companies controlled by them.
She began to guard cautiously and prepare actively for battle.
Because everything had developed so rapidly, from the reform to the issuance of commands, and the reclamation of all global lands and mineral resources, it all happened within a single day.
Thus, although the Imperial Star and the Psionic Planet received the relevant news immediately, they truly didn't have time to react or respond proactively for a while.
After all, this was a matter of great magnitude.
They had to convene meetings and consult.
Consulting on a matter within a council was never a quick process; it was normal for it to take time.
This undoubtedly gave Ding Yun ample time to prepare.
By the time they finished their consultations, jointly condemned Ding Yun, and officially dispatched their forces, Ding Yun had already stabilized the situation on the Beastman planet, issued the command to commence the plan. Simultaneously, she herself took the lead, using the Dharma Heaven Manifestation divine ability, transforming into a ten-thousand-zhang panda.
She rushed out of the Beastman planet to meet the war fleets.
At this point, those disciples in the Venerable realm who had arrived at the Imperial Star and the Psionic Planet upon receiving the command to commence the plan, naturally proceeded swiftly according to the original plan.
They attacked and controlled the high-ranking officials of those two planets.
Even when encountering obstructions from Venerables of other systems, they were ultimately able to defeat or even kill them with the top-tier cultivation techniques and secret divine abilities taught by Ding Yun.
In merely one day, the situation had changed.
The warships were destroyed by Ding Yun with lightning speed. The planet-annihilating cannons hadn't even been activated, let alone other weapons. The high-ranking officials of the Imperial Star and the Psionic Planet were almost completely wiped out. Their Venerables were either killed, injured, or captured.
Ding Yun's decapitation tactic was highly successful.
It minimized human casualties to the greatest extent possible.
Following this, she naturally led her disciples to swiftly take over the Imperial Star and the Psionic Planet. As for the immigrant planets, which were not attacked at all, their strength was too weak, and they didn't even possess warships. Ding Yun dispatched a few disciples, and they immediately surrendered.
Thus, Ding Yun had initially achieved unification.
However, various deep-seated problems still remained. For instance, the powerful financial consortiums, aristocratic families, and noble clans were still present and had not been eradicated. The conflicts between beastmen, genetically engineered humans, and psionic users persisted.
Cultural barriers, financial disparities, and so on.
These were all issues that urgently needed to be resolved.
However, with abundant resources and the universe being full of resources, there was no need to plunder the assets of the financial consortiums to feed the populace.
Therefore, Ding Yun did not rush to act against them.
She could slowly wear them down and dismantle them.
After all, she had plenty of time.
Following the formal unification, Ding Yun, as was natural, simultaneously broadcast her enthronement on the four habitable planets, proclaiming herself the Immortal Panda Empress, not only the Empress of the Beastman planet.
But also the Empress of all humanity.
Through this, she smoothly gained sufficient influence, inscribing her mark throughout the entire star domain.
However, with such a vast undertaking underway, leaving immediately would likely plunge all of humanity into turmoil and division. Therefore, even though she had completed her mission, Ding Yun did not dare to leave immediately. She stayed for another hundred years, thoroughly resolving the aforementioned issues.
And finding a satisfactory successor for herself.
Only then did she shatter the void and depart this world.
