It was highly unusual for the Clear Sky Sect to take the initiative and bring a proposal concerning the fate of the world.
Having withdrawn from the secular world of the continent for over twenty years, it was baffling that they still possessed such depth of insight.
This caused Bibi Dong and the Spirit Hall Elders a moment of panic; the grand conference was inexplicably being hijacked by the guests.
They didn't even give Bibi Dong a chance to open the session, nor did they give Spirit Hall any time to prepare for the exchange.
By the time the Elders wanted to intervene, some of the attendees were already showing signs of restlessness.
Tang Xiao took the opportunity to say, "I believe everyone will be one hundred percent satisfied with my proposal."
As he spoke, he directly divided the proposal into several copies and had them distributed, showing absolutely no regard for Spirit Hall.
Given where she was sitting, Bibi Dong was obviously the first to see the file.
"Regarding the distribution rights of the world's newly emerging resources held by the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires."
"In the face of the changing situation on the Douluo Continent, how to firmly concentrate Spirit Master resources in the hands of elite Spirit Masters."
"Using the influence of the major sects and imperial powers to make rational decisions regarding the global situation."
"Existing top-tier Spirit Masters will continue to enjoy priority treatment for various future Spirit Master resources."
The participants of the conference began to appreciate this proposal, which was filled with the stench of decay, with great interest.
Among them, Dai Weisi of the Star Luo Empire occasionally revealed a smile; he seemed very satisfied.
Following that, looks of approval also appeared on the faces of some academy heads.
Aristocratic privileges and resource concentration—it seemed these trashy ideas were still the mainstream.
Bibi Dong took one look and discarded it. She signaled to the Elders and others, bringing out Spirit Hall's own proposal.
This had been specially prepared by Chu Feng. Although Chu Feng initially only wanted to use the conference to let the investiture of the gods system subvert the original system of Douluo, he always wanted to add some novel elements.
Thus, this proposal was born—a proposal with significant constructive meaning.
"Abolish the two great Empires, replace them with a civilian election system, and emphasize equal resources for all."
"Under the condition that the overall situation of the continent remains unchanged, all newly emerging resources shall be obtained by the capable."
"If the power system of the continent changes, all Spirit Masters will jointly deliberate on the expression of the new system."
"Open more channels and provide more resources for civilian Spirit Masters."
The crowd expressed conflict over this innovative proposal; after reading it, they almost couldn't find where their brains were.
However, when they turned back to look at the Clear Sky Sect's proposal, they felt much more comfortable again.
As expected, you can't wake someone who is pretending to be asleep; they only like old things.
So, judging by the atmosphere at the scene, the Clear Sky Sect held a massive advantage between the two proposals.
Dai Weisi said very actively, "The Clear Sky Sect's proposal is very enlightened. Without our Empires and the major sects, Spirit Masters wouldn't be able to develop."
Some academy heads expressed their approval; many of them had received sponsorships from the Empires.
"Exactly. If resources are opened up to some ordinary Spirit Masters, wouldn't the results of everyone here's years of hard work go down the drain?"
"Even though the Heaven Dou Imperial Family isn't present, they should still enjoy a portion of the resources. How could they be given to commoners?"
"Although the Clear Sky Sect has been in seclusion, this proposal proves that they have great insight into the world's situation."
Some people had already begun to choose their stance, decisively supporting the Clear Sky Sect without even going through the motions.
To them, they didn't care much about massive amounts of heavyweight super resources; they only cared that the small amount of interests they already possessed would not be taken away.
Tang Xiao stood up and said, "You see, everyone has a discerning eye. My proposal is absolutely suitable for the majority."
He had a triumphant expression; it seemed he was full of confidence.
Dai Weisi took the opportunity to join some others in heckling and clapping. Although everyone had different motives, they were standing together for the moment.
Of course, Shrek Academy also supported the aristocratic proposal; as for the civilian proposal, many people weren't even willing to look at it.
Ghost and Chrysanthemum clutched their injured chests, indignant but speechless, while the other Elders lowered their heads.
They didn't care about the proposal itself, but rather the interests of Spirit Hall, so they were dejected once Chu Feng's proposal failed.
Bibi Dong could only say, "This is just an informal talk. Do you think it's necessary to make it so official?"
Tang Xiao immediately retorted, "I believe everyone will approve of my proposal, and naturally, it will be approved by the whole world."
Bibi Dong continued, "In that case, it seems the Clear Sky Sect is deliberately targeting my Spirit Hall today?"
Tang Xiao said solemnly, "What else? There must be an explanation regarding the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile. If you don't pass this proposal, you will be making an enemy of the whole world."
With that said, the conference reached its climax, and the Clear Sky Sect held the discourse with an absolute advantage.
Spirit Hall was angry but dared not show it, because many people present had spirit power unlike before, likely having tasted the super resources.
But if things continued to develop this way, the original intention of the conference would be subverted.
Tang Xiao was still saying, "So, does anyone else have any objections?"
"I do."
Chu Feng appeared with Qian Renxue; as they say, arriving early isn't as good as arriving at the right time.
His entrance was as swift as the wind and his actions were startling; he stood directly beside Bibi Dong.
Who is he?
That was the first doubt in many people's minds.
Just as Bibi Dong was about to speak, Chu Feng announced his identity: "The Hall Master of Spirit Hall!"
Tang Xiao and the others' faces tightened for a moment, then they became relaxed.
After all, for a young man in his twenties to become the Hall Master, he was most likely someone with connections.
"It seems everyone doesn't care much about me. That's even better. Can we talk about this proposal in my hand again?"
Chu Feng was smiling broadly, while the Spirit Hall Elders were quite puzzled.
After all, the matter was almost set in stone; what else could be said?
"Everyone has already preset their agreement. What else is there to say?"
Tang Xiao approached the long table, his eyes locked on Chu Feng. There was a certain physical toughness in his movements; he was showing off his might.
"Everyone here agrees, but the people of the world might not agree."
"Do the 105 million people of the Star Luo Empire agree?"
"Do the tens of thousands of ordinary students in the various academies agree?"
"They might not all agree, so how can you make decisions for them?"
Chu Feng's words pierced through to the truth, making the atmosphere at the scene intense once again.
When Chu Feng said this, the leanings of some people shifted slightly; some were hesitating.
After all, if ordinary Spirit Masters could compete fairly for a large amount of resources, they wouldn't necessarily be worse than those in power.
And what many people lacked wasn't ability, but opportunity.
Tang Xiao's eyes widened; he was extremely dissatisfied with Chu Feng's act of undermining him.
In that instant, the spirit power within his body was likely ready to burst forth.
Chu Feng could naturally sense it and deliberately said, "What? Is what I'm saying not reasonable?"
