C1568 This Emperor quits!
In the The Imperial Court of Zhou, there was an empty great hall.
Other than the current 302 members of the Emperor Pavilion, there were also a few reputable rogue cultivators and Ancestral Immortals such as O and flower lady who were invited by the The Imperial Court of Zhou. These people would be the witnesses for the birth of the first unworthy Emperor Zhou in the entire history of the world.
The voting had yet to begin, but the atmosphere in the hall was already solemn. There was no longer any trace of the banter and probing from before.
"If everyone has no objections, then let's officially enter the voting process. What do you think?" Su Ye said in a clear voice.
"Sure!"
"No objections!"
"Alright, then I'll ask Elder Liu and Elder Zhang to step forward and preside over it." Su Ye smiled and said to the two green robed elders.
These two old men in blue clothes had quite a distinctive appearance. One of them was as thin as firewood, while the other was three feet tall like a bamboo pole. One of them was as plump as a ball, his face glowing red. The thin one was called Liu Qing and the fat one was called Zhang Tuo. Both of them were famous Innate Celestial Immortal among the rogue cultivators.
Normally, with their reputations, before the establishment of the The Imperial Court of Zhou, they would have been able to create a faction and become an emperor in the The Imperial Court of Zhou, becoming a member of the King's Pavilion.
However, the two of them were indifferent and did not pay much attention to the issue of trying to gain the right to speak. Not only did he not create any forces, he did not have any plans to join any forces. He still persisted on his path of becoming a rogue cultivator and maintained friendly relations with all sorts of forces. He was practically a third party that was outside of a struggle.
As a result, after the establishment of the The Imperial Court of Zhou, when there was a need for someone to take charge of the affairs of the The Imperial Court of Zhou, someone invited Liu Qing and Zhang Tuo to join the The Imperial Court of Zhou.
Liu Qing and Zhang Tuo were both supportive of the establishment of the The Imperial Court of Zhou. In their eyes, the The Imperial Court of Zhou's plan was simply a genius' idea, an epoch-making invention. With the The Imperial Court of Zhou, when major powers came into conflict, there would be a place where they could sit down and resolve the conflict peacefully, a place which could greatly reduce the internal strife and the fighting in this world.
Thus, after accepting the invitation, Liu Qing and Zhang Tuo entered the The Imperial Court of Zhou without hesitation, becoming elders that would always be in charge of the The Imperial Court of Zhou. Moreover, they were influenced by them, and a group of rogue cultivators who were on good terms with them also joined the The Imperial Court of Zhou, becoming various hall elders and protectors.
In short, Liu Qing and Zhang Tuo were already considered as elders of the The Imperial Court of Zhou and had good reputations. All the members of the Imperial Pavilion were able to acknowledge that they had been the hosts of this highly significant voting event.
Hearing Su Ye's call, Elder Liu and Elder Zhang quickly walked to the front of the hall with solemn expressions.
Liu Qing said, "Greetings to the members of the Imperial Pavilion, as well as the ancestors, Innate Celestial Immortal and Innate Earthly Immortal from various places. My name is Liu Qing, and I am also the head of the The Imperial Court of Zhou's Internal Affairs Elders. I have the honour to represent all of you here, and I am honored to be able to host this voting assembly together with Elder Zhang Tuo. I hope that I can be chosen together with all of you, in a fair and open atmosphere, as the first unworthy Emperor of Zhou in the entire history of the world. "
Zhang Tuo said, "My name is Zhang Tuo, and I am the head of the The Imperial Court of Zhou's External Affairs Elders. Here, let me introduce you to the voting process and its order. "
After that, Zhang Tuo pointed to a stone wall behind him. On the surface, there didn't seem to be anything special, but there was a strange restriction that was closely connected to the locations of the members of the King's Pavilion. After the voting had begun, the members of the Royal Pavilion only needed to press their palms against the restrictions on their seats and type in the names of the people they supported. The names and the votes would then appear on the stone wall behind them.
Following that, Zhang Tuo intentionally had a member of the King's Pavilion test it out in public.
As expected, a light screen appeared on the stone wall, and a name appeared on the light screen. Moreover, the name clearly displayed the number "1", representing the number of supporters.
Thus, the rules and procedures for voting were clear.
However, in order to make it public and fair, after the introduction of the restriction, both Elder Liu and Elder Zhang even invited the Ancestral Immortals at the scene to confirm the restriction. However, in order to make it public and fair, after the introduction of the restriction, both Liu and Elder Zhang were actually invited the Ancestral Immortals at the scene to confirm the restriction.
Moreover, this voting ban had another advantage. It only displayed the votes and not the names of the voters. It could be used to protect the members of the King's Pavilion without fear of enmity or reprisals from others after voting.
In this way, there would be no problem even for the various factions.
Elder Liu and Elder Zhang then faced the members of the Imperial Pavilion as they confirmed that they were no candidates for the position of Great Emperor Zhou.
There was actually no suspense in this matter.
Before the The Imperial Court of Zhou's King's Pavilion Grand Meeting had begun, the people who had the ambition to participate in the Great Emperor Zhou's battle had already set off a bidding war, offering all sorts of prices to bribe the members of the King's Pavilion. Everyone knew exactly who these people were and what sort of people they were.
They were simply Human Emperor Su Ye, Emperor of the Desolation of the Great Desolate Heavenly Court, Alliance Master Ke Ya of the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Alliance, Cult of Immortal Fire Lord, Sect Master Lan Xuan of the Haotian Heavenly Sect, Hades King of the Underworld, Giant Wood City Lord Mu Hengtian, Thousand Demonic Palace Lord and Beast Master of the Ten Thousand Beast Provenance.
It was clear that the candidates were to be identified.
After this confirmation, the members of the King's Pavilion could only vote for these nine people. All of the votes cast for those nine people were invalid.
Of course, once the nine of them had been identified as candidates, they did not have the right to vote. In other words, out of the 302 members of the King's Pavilion, the actual number of votes cast should be 293. This total of 293 votes would be divided among the nine candidates, and those who obtained more votes would officially become the first unworthy Emperor of Zhou.0
However, no one had expected this to happen.
Just at this critical moment, Su Ye suddenly stood up.
"Everyone, before Elder Liu and Elder Zhang officially determine the candidate, this emperor has a special matter to announce."
What?
What is Su Ye up to?
They were almost certain of the candidate, and then it was time for Su Ye to vote for the first Great Emperor Zhou. What more did this Su Ye want to say, is it that he still had plans to buy the hearts of people before the vote?
Regardless of whether it was members of the Monarch Pavilion or cultivators who were invited to witness the battle, all of them cast shocked gazes at Su Ye.
People like Hades's Great Nether King, Emperor of the Desolation and Ke Ya, who were hot contenders for the Profound Sky Continent, had deep eyes and felt uncomfortable. It was obvious that they also believed that this cunning Su Ye wanted to make a plan before the official vote. It was just that Su Ye had said that he wanted to make a special statement, and before Su Ye's declaration was made, it would be difficult for them to refute him.
They could only secretly decide to let Su Ye declare first. If Su Ye had any way to win his heart over, then he must use this occasion to give Su Ye a good beating so that he would be able to steal from his.
Liu Qing did not have that many thoughts and said with a serious expression, "Your Majesty the Human Emperor, if there is anything you need to announce, please do so. Once the candidates have been identified, I hope that none of you will make any more noise so as not to interfere with the proper operation of the ballot. "
His words sounded like he was ridiculing Su Ye, as if saying, if you want to win the hearts of others, hurry up, once the candidates are confirmed, you don't have to say anything anymore. He thought, didn't this Su Ye want to buy people's hearts? Heh, before I even finished speaking, I'll see if you have the nerve to say those words to win people's hearts.
Su Ye was not the least bit angry upon hearing this, instead, he cupped his hands towards Liu Qing with respect.
"Everyone, it is known that this The Imperial Court of Zhou was established based on this emperor's plans and the support of all the members of the Emperor's Pavilion. The original intention of the The Imperial Court of Zhou was to form a platform for the peaceful settlement of disputes and disputes between the various sects and cultivators in the world. At the same time, it would allow me to effectively tie the forces of this world together when my world is threatened by foreign enemies."
"That's why this emperor hopes that the The Imperial Court of Zhou is a true creation that will benefit my cultivators for all eternity, and not a platform that will allow the wild elites to fight for power and gain and trample all those who are weak beneath their feet."
"Before this, this empress had also thought that the The Imperial Court of Zhou was created by this empress. As the Human Emperor, I naturally wanted to become the first Great Emperor Zhou of the The Imperial Court of Zhou. However, before this, there was a dispute over the auction. It is shameful that this emperor has also joined the bid. "
"Fortunately, before this general assembly begins, this empress was shocked to realize that the first Great Emperor Zhou had to return to this empress. This is simply laughable. This emperor will definitely not allow the The Imperial Court of Zhou this emperor proposed to become a place for power and profit. Thus, this Emperor decided to withdraw from this election and not participate in the first Great Emperor Zhou's competition. Furthermore, no matter who the last generation of Great Emperor Zhou belongs to, this Emperor and the Human Emperor Hall will support the outcome resulting from the selection of all the members of the King's Pavilion! "
What?
It was actually like this?
What the hell was Su Ye doing?
Everyone was dumbstruck.
No one present was willing to believe that Su Ye was willing to give up the position of the first Great Emperor of Zhou.
