The Path of the Great Sovereign 126 A Few Old Faces

'The Spirit Hall offers Spirit Masters a stipend from Rank 11 to Rank 40 however once they achieve Spirit Ancestor status they are no longer eligible for a stipend yet they are eligible for a title of Nobility or a spot in the military to continue getting paid. However, doing either of those two options for money restricts the movements of those individuals. Unlike the two Empires and the Spirit Hall, I have the Financial capability to support any and all expenses as we just started Mining Gold and other resources from inhospitable planets in Plane 19 and 20.'

Tatsuo picked up his cup of tea off the small table in front of the couch before taking a sip.

'If I wanted to I could turn this Island into it's very own small Empire and offer better benefits than the Spirit Hall. While that is happening I can use the Raising Dragon Kingdom as a foothold in the Empire making it far more powerful than it currently is making it a Trade hub for my Island and the entire Douluo Continent. This is me playing the Long Game but I no longer age so I have plenty of Time. In fact I never implemented the Nobility system because it takes power away from the central power i.e me. However it may be the time to adapt to something new.'

The next day which made 9 until he and his children including his disciple go to acquire new Spirit Rings. Today he called his trusty Nephew to see how many free hands were in the Empire.

"Well Uncle Tatsuo the total population of your Empire is 37,912,651,803 people from both Planes 19 and 20. Sending over 10 million people would not affect anything as there are many free hands willing to explore ever since your declaration. Also the Level of that planet is higher than ours so there are many minerals that we have never seen or used before which would be extremely beneficial for the future."

"Get started on transport as soon as possible as in 9 Days my time I will be headed away for a short period."

"Yes Uncle and when can I come join you?"

"If you leave who will manage this monstrosity your Father and I are creating? This is the long haul Right now Little Akihito Plus in all this time you are just at the 6th Gate so you couldn't progress like your father and I."

"I understand."

With that settled Tatsuo then decided what to do with the Islands Nobility, It's name, and how to separate civilization from the Spirit Beasts.

'Well I could just use the Standard Nobility Ranks of Baron/Baroness, Viscount/Viscountess, Count/Countess, Marquis/Marquess, Duke/Duchess, ArchDuke/ArchDuchess, the Finally King/Queen with me the Emperor above. The Island is about as long as the distance from Montreal to the Southern tip of Argentina and much wider than the entire North American Continent so space is not a Problem. A King reports to me the Emperor and under Him there can be 2 ArchDukes, 4 Dukes, 16 Marquis, 256 Counts, 500 Viscounts, 1,000 Barons as this is only the Maximum limit not a required amount as I will give them a certain amount of land to A king then give him a degree of autonomy. These Noble ranks will coincide with Spirit Ranks King = Titled Douluo and then everything else falls in line with that in a descending order as these will be mostly people from the Douluo continent where not everyone is aspiring to be great Gods.'

'The Island Will be called Akadiya which translates to Acadia which means Lost Paradise. I will reserve the 3,000 Miles of wild lands for the Spirit beasts in the North, This is talking North to South not just a 3,000 mile by 3,000 Mile Square. This leaves 58,484,773 miles squared for My empire and 21,363,000 miles Squared for the Spirit Beasts. Just that alone makes me in awe of how large this Planet is because this is technically an Island and it has a little less than Half of the entire surface area of earth while the surface land area of my Empire is larger than the surface land area of earth. With that being said all the Land area on this Island is habitable, Therefore I rule in Plane 18 Alone an area Larger than Earth back on my original Plane.'

Two Days later Akihito sent over 10 million people and they were all young between the Ages of 16-30. He also sent over 200,000 metric tons of Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Copper within a storage device so the new born Branch of the Night Empire could mint it's currency.

[Intercepting Transmission from Plane 19. Individuals: Kisuke Urahara, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Szayelaporro Granz, Ulquiorra Cifer, Chiyoko Uzumaki, Shisui Uchiha, Daisuke Yami, and Orochimaru Saimin request permission to Enter Plane 18.]

'If they are using that method then they have all Ascended and are truly coming to join me. Permission Granted.'

[Acknowledged.]

'The Mind that made the Night Empire in Plane 20 what it is today, plus the 3 mad Scientist from the Soul Society in Plane 19. Plus Daisuke, oh how I have missed you handling the affairs of the Empire.'

Tatsuo left Idai a went into the Forest to collect the newcomers as they too are currently Spirit Beasts.

After doing that he was surrounded by 8 Small Children on the 170th Floor of the Academy.

"Is it normal for 100,000 year old beasts to turn into small children in this world?"

Orochimaru asked Tatsuo as he looked at his small hands in massive confusion, from the time Tatsuo ascended to now a few hundred years have passed in Plane 20 and he was a very old man.

"Reliving Puberty is honestly something I thought I would never do again but it would appear that the Emperor had other plans.Couldn't you just Age our bodies again like you did when we were Spirit Beasts?"

"Shisui, I am Limited to aging spirit beasts to 999,999 years in beast form but I can not age Human formed beasts because your lifespan is Identical to a humans now."

"All in all your majesty this is a quite interesting scenario I will do research on it later. What are your orders Sir?"

Orochimaru asked as he performed a kneel which the others followed.

"First Shisui, Ulquiorra, and Chiyoko I have a task for you three."
