Chapter 1438: I Want to Get Off!
Ye Guan sat silently in the hall, listening to Soul's detailed report. From the highest levels of governance down to the smallest administrative systems, everything was thoroughly considered.
Sui Gujin had thought of it all—laws, systems, and reforms. In addition, she had already implemented them across the Guanxuan Universe, yielding exceptional results.
The Guanxuan Universe underwent a dramatic, groundbreaking transformation.
Waves of realization swept across Ye Guan as he listened to Soul's report. He finally realized just how many flaws and shortcomings the Guanxuan Academy had, and he finally understood the difficulty of governing an entire universe.
In truth, even managing a single city was no easy feat. However, what he sought to build wasn't merely a replication of existing systems; he wanted a brand-new Order, one that would overturn the old, break it all apart, and rebuild everything from scratch.
From the beginning, Ye Guan had rarely been involved in the actual governance or construction of the Guanxuan Academy. Even the Guanxuan Laws weren't his sole creation; it was a collaborative effort led by Lady Ding and Lady Mu.
He had been like an outsider all along. His dream was to create Order, create a brand-new system, but in truth, he had done little to bring that dream to life. He had been doing things on repeat—conquer a universe, draw in the clans and sects to help manage it, and then he would move on to the next universe.
The cycle would then repeat itself.
He was moving too quickly for anyone to keep up with him. Moreover, he was still living in constant anxiety about the future, as his enemies were always more formidable than him, forcing him to keep getting stronger.
His life... resembled that of countless ordinary people, a routine of working and getting by each day. No matter how hard he tried, life never truly got better for him.
Ye Guan looked down at the golden strand of faith in his palm. He finally understood his inadequacy. He lacked the power, yet yearned desperately to accomplish great things. The result? He accomplished nothing.
