Lin Ke had heard a saying in his previous life——

The body is like morning dew, yet it can reflect the brilliance of the rising sun.

It doesn’t matter if it’s "living like" or "being like," what’s important is the meaning behind this phrase.

And he has always believed that even dust has its significance.

People who considered themselves as lowly as dust in their past lives can also shine with the light of wisdom and humanity.

Ordinary people can also become great.

Therefore, even though Lin Ke is in the world of Naseng where individual power varies greatly, he will not abandon those ordinary people.

In the eyes of other lords, perhaps ordinary people, herders, farmers, ants, and maggots are all equivalent.

But Lin Ke knows best how powerful the strength that these people who can be equated with ants and maggots can unleash.

This strength refers not only to force but also to creativity, thinking power, moral strength, and so on.

And now, what Lin Ke needs to do is to promulgate a code that protects all the residents of the Great Wilderness!

The Lava Scripture and the Crimson Code!

The Lava Scripture for internal affairs, the Crimson Code for external ones!

...

At the top of the Great Wilderness Tower, the sun is setting in the west.

Lin Ke stands on the platform at the summit, with many citizens of Great Wilderness City waiting in the square below.

Those in the know understand that today is the day the code will be announced!

With spring’s chill not yet gone, everyone looks eagerly at the sky, but they see nothing.

Suddenly, the giant circular bell hanging at the top of the Great Wilderness Tower rings out.

"Dong... Dong... Dong..."

This bell, too, is a product of the Great Wilderness, a magical item that chimes on the hour, with its sound carrying throughout the entire Great Wilderness Plane.

It’s six o’clock in the evening!

The light and shadow of Lin Ke’s upper body are projected between heaven and earth using his optical skills, quite conspicuous.

"Citizens of the Great Wilderness, I am Duke of Lava, Lin Ke." Lin Ke first stated his identity, then said: "In the war half a month ago, we achieved a great victory, crushing the hostile force of Forest Hut!"

Upon hearing this, cheers rose one after another, shaking the clouds.

"Victory! A great victory!"

"We should have killed all of them! Or turned them all into slaves!"

"With Lava above, Lord Lin Ke is invincible!"

The citizens of Great Wilderness City cheered with joy.

Even though the news had already been received before, everyone was still excited upon hearing the official announcement.

They were so excited!

Great Wilderness City is invincible!

"...In addition, I will announce something decided by a vote of the Great Wilderness Council before the war, and that is the law!"

Before the war, Lin Ke had gathered members of the Great Wilderness Council and held a vote.

The voters and participants were randomly selected individuals from various sectors of Great Wilderness City.

Lin Ke briefly introduced the process, allowing everyone to instantly understand the key aspects of the system...

"Isn’t this what Aunt Sophia from the street office mentioned a few days ago—equality, justice, and fairness?"

"That’s right! Lord Lin Ke’s benevolence is well-known throughout the entire Naseng!"

"Nonsense! Lord Lin Ke’s benevolence is renowned across countless planes in the All Heavens Star Realm!"

The citizens chatted enthusiastically.

Though it was just a few short sentences, they felt their souls were uplifted under Lin Ke’s words, feeling as if they had cast off the ropes that bound them, their thoughts felt lighter.

"...Therefore, today, we will promulgate two codes of law. From now on, all matters within the Magma Territory will be decided by internal laws, and external matters will refer to external laws!"

Lin Ke raised the Magma Staff in his hand and waved it.

Originally, there were two stone tablets at the Great Wilderness and Azanen borders, which were rudimentary legal tablets.

At this moment, two giant stone tablets rose from the ground, standing atop the original tablets.

As if these new inscriptions grew out of the simple old ones.

Finally, the four stone tablets merged into two, forming a new stone tablet.

On them, words were inscribed in the universal language of the Naseng Plane.

Magma Code—"Great Wilderness Codex"!

Magma Code—"Crimson Codex"!

The "Great Wilderness Codex" stands outside the city hall, and the "Crimson Codex" stands outside the customs office of the Great Wilderness Plane.

The staff is not merely decorative but a magical artifact empowered by the King to both the Duke and Grand Duke.

Holding the staff represents Lin Ke’s powerful authority as Duke over his territory.

Creating minor things like stone tablets is hardly a troublesome task.

Of course, as Lin Ke announced this, he suddenly received a wave of feedback from the plane.

It wasn’t just Lin Ke; Judge Diana also received it!

As the Naseng Plane’s first set of comprehensive, in-depth, and clear legal provisions, it even surpassed those of the Black and White Kingdom, Holy Life Alliance, and Eternal Freeze Court in truly deserving the title of law!

The Naseng Plane, long accustomed to valuing strength, only considered the Black and White Kingdom’s laws as worthy, although in the hands of local lordly nobility, they become unrecognizable.

Outside the Black and White Kingdom, it was a complete mess.

They didn’t speak of the law, aside from the basic codes of conduct, strength was what commanded respect.

Lin Ke, as the inventor of a complete legal framework, received a lot of feedback as "Inventor."

And Diana, as the practical implementer, content filler, and builder, also received considerable feedback.

However, Lin Ke was already accustomed to the feedback, dispersing the optical image once it concluded.

Meanwhile, Great Wilderness City was engulfed in waves of jubilation.

...

After concluding the speech, Lin Ke immediately left the top of the Great Wilderness Tower.

As Great Wilderness City fell into celebration, Lin Ke quickly descended to the ground, concealed his figure, and then mounted his bicycle named "Physics," whizzing through the sky.

The wheels of "Physics" spun rapidly under Lin Ke’s efforts, sparking electricity, and the surrounding heat created a frosty ice trail due to Lin Ke’s absorption, although it instantly melted away.

Then, Lin Ke made his way to the trade center of the large mall.

The place was bustling with people, all cheering for his recent speech.

Lin Ke slipped into Lady Heshan’s workshop stealthily.

"Heshan, how’s it going?" Lin Ke inquired: "Is the first batch of goods prepared?"

The familiar sight of Lady Heshan, as imposing as ever like a "black mountain," still showed signs of her busy work through the bright light in her eyes and the paper and pen in her hand.

However, Lin Ke was there because of her work.

"Lord Lin Ke." Lady Heshan immediately put down her work, walked over with her paper and pen: "The goods have been confirmed, but the form still needs a bit of finalization."

Lin Ke took the paper and pen, carefully reviewing it, occasionally discussing a point or two with Heshan to settle some issues.

Issues such as the assortment of goods, batches, routes, guards, etc.

Along with unexpected situations encountered in various cities along the way.

And this time, the Path of the Great Wilderness included not only official teams from Great Wilderness City but also a series of traveling merchants.
