Chapter 317 The Punishment for Staying Is Higher

Exile Planet.

The palace hall was crowded with people.

Men and women, young and old, more than 3,000 people.

Some of them wore precious silk robes, while others wore cheap coarse cloth.

The realm of strength was also different.

Looking around, more than 70% of the top talents of the Great Yan Kingdom were all here.

In fact, most of the others were also top talents, but they were still in the dormant period, or joined the Great Yan Kingdom too late and had not yet emerged.

Almost all the middle and high-level people in the Great Yan Kingdom gathered here.

Especially in the General Administration, except for the chief dean and the high priest, all the vice-chief deans, the deans of each branch, and the vice-deans of each branch were all here.

I didn't know, I thought they were holding some high-level meeting.

Everyone lowered their heads and felt uneasy.

They didn't dare to look at the flying magic weapon in the shape of a palace floating above the throne.

They were all fake serious criminals sent in by various forces.

In the Human Federation, they were all elites among the elites.

Naturally, none of them had simple minds and talents.

Just by looking at the crowd around them, they guessed that they were all fake serious criminals.

There was no doubt that Yi Chen must have known the truth through some means.

This made them all uneasy, not knowing what kind of fate would be waiting for them next.

Yi Chen flew out from the flying magic weapon.

He sat on the throne, looking coldly at the people who filled the hall and dared not even breathe.

There were many familiar figures inside.

Zhong Ren, Feng Yue and other six vice presidents of the General Administration, the presidents of each branch, and Lou Xing, the adopted son he personally selected for the high priest.

He had seen these people more than once, and they all valued them very much. He had once regarded them as the pillars of the development of the Great Yan Kingdom.

The more so, the more angry Yi Chen was.

"Do you know why I waited for more than ten minutes before coming out?"

Yi Chen's voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

Hualala...

More than 3,000 fake serious criminals knew that Yi Chen had come out.

Everyone, all prostrated on the ground.

The crowded hall became even more crowded.

They were shivering.

Even the six vice presidents who had met many times and could talk freely in front of Yi Chen were silent and frightened.

Yi Chen's voice was calm.

But in their ears, it was like a biting cold wind.

"I don't intend to kill you, but when you came in, I almost couldn't help but kill you all."

Yi Chen spoke calmly.

Zhong Ren, Feng Yue and other senior officials of the General Administration suddenly felt honored.

Although Yi Chen was not a diligent king, he did not hold a high-level meeting every month as agreed at the beginning.

But it would still be held every two or three months.

They, the senior officials of the General Administration, knew very well that Yi Chen was not the kind of person who liked to waste time and explain things to others.

Today was an exception, and he explained it to them.

However, the content of the explanation was a bit scary.

"I won't kill you because many of you have made great contributions to the development and expansion of the Great Yan Kingdom."

"Perhaps you will think that the reason I won't kill you is because killing you will cause great turmoil and negative impact on the Great Yan Kingdom."

"But in fact, this is only a secondary factor. It is not difficult for me to tear down and rebuild."

"The real point is that I never kill people who have made great contributions to the Great Yan Kingdom."

Cold sweat fell on everyone's forehead.

Whether they were in high positions or lying in wait for the opportunity, they had been in the Yanshan Tribe and the Great Yan Kingdom for many years.

What they usually care about most and study the most is Yi Chen's character.

Looking at the entire Great Yan Kingdom, they are also the people who know Yi Chen's character best.

They guessed that Yi Chen would not kill.

But they also guessed that with Yi Chen's character, they would definitely not let them feel good.

"Give you two choices!"

Yi Chen didn't waste time and got to the point. "The first choice is to abolish all realms and let the Federal Parliament send a warship to take you back. From now on, you have nothing to do with the Great Yan Kingdom."

"The second choice is to abolish all titles and realms, and be demoted to second-class citizens of the Great Yan Kingdom, retaining only your current identity. From now on, you are just people of the Great Yan Kingdom and have nothing to do with the Human Federation."

"No matter what choice you make, I will extract your memory."

Buzz...

There was a commotion in the hall.

No one expected that Yi Chen would give such a choice that was completely beyond their expectations.

"I choose the second one!"

After just a few seconds, Zhong Ren suddenly stood up and bowed to Yi Chen.

Yi Chen nodded.

This veteran vice president has always been decisive and quick-witted.

This time was no exception.

The others looked at Zhong Ren in confusion.

Many people have thought about this problem.

If Yi Chen asked them to choose between staying and leaving, what should they do?

Most people tend to stay.

The wealth and status of the Human Federation were once their greatest pursuits.

But these things, in front of the realm of strength and life span, have become insignificant.

Only by staying on the exile planet can they learn the best skills in the first place, have a stronger realm and a longer lifespan.

What they are most worried about is that Yi Chen will destroy their Qi Sea and then let them make a choice.

Fortunately, Yi Chen only destroyed their realm.

It can be said that as soon as these two choices came out, everyone's hanging hearts were put down.

Because the worst result did not appear.

But what puzzled and hesitated them was that Yi Chen gave them two choices, leaving was obviously better than staying.

This was completely beyond their expectations.

They always thought that if Yi Chen gave them a choice, staying would definitely get preferential treatment.

In fact, leaving only destroyed the realm and extracted memories.

Staying, on the contrary, requires destroying the realm and extracting memories, and even the status of the title is greatly reduced, even directly down to the level of second-class people.

Although the Great Yan Kingdom was established not long ago, the rank system can be said to be extremely strict.

The difficulty of obtaining a title is ridiculously high.

So far, there is only one viscount, the high priest, and more than a dozen barons.

If you can enter the noble class, you will enjoy many privileges in the Great Yan Kingdom.

Next, there are the first-class people of the Great Yan Kingdom, that is, the ordinary people, and the fierce beasts who have made great contributions to the development of the Great Yan Kingdom.

This is the class with the largest population.

Below the first-class people is the second-class people.

This is a class that the General Administrative Council has recently added to protect those fierce beasts with high intelligence.

In comparison, the biggest difference between the second-class people and the first-class people is that they do not have the various welfare benefits of the first-class people.

In addition, it is extremely difficult to be promoted to the first-class people. You need to make great contributions to the Great Yan Kingdom to be promoted to the first-class people.

Among those fierce beasts, only the leader of the fierce beast army, the swamp crocodile, is currently qualified to be promoted to the first-class people.

Some human races who have committed special crimes will also be sentenced to second-class people, but their descendants or family members will not be affected by this.

In the Great Yan Kingdom, the second-class people belong to the lowest class, which is equivalent to the fierce beasts who are loyal to the Great Yan Kingdom.

Once you are demoted to second-class citizen, it is almost impossible to turn things around.

This is exactly why the fake serious criminals present are hesitant.

They can't understand why the punishment for staying is more severe than the punishment for leaving.
