Chapter 1995 - Conference (6) (2/2)
”In addition, each one of you here will be allocated one universe that is completely untouchable. It will not be able to be claimed by points no matter how many one might have.”
A collective sigh of relief was released. They knew that King Star had reason on his side, but the idea of shifting away their territories was too much. Even if they knew it would benefit them in the long run, humans were innately selfish creatures. Not many could set such things aside to think of the future…
King Star nodded to himself, it seemed like things were working well.
”As for the matter of claiming territories, that another reason I've called you all here today. I propose that we form the Mortal Plane Federation.
”We will have a set of laws decided by all of us today. In addition, when the timer has run down to 30 years, and it's time to begin our territory claims, the Federation will move as one. Those who decide to oppose the rules we've set here today will feel the wrath of us all.”
The hearts of those below pounded. A very dangerous question crept into their heads… 'What if?'
What if they managed to birth an outstanding genius? What if they already had geniuses who were only lacking the resources they needed to shine? What if they got lucky and the whole trajectory of their Clan completely changed due to this event…?
”I will set your minds at ease even further.” King Star said with a kind smile. ”Not only will point totals for territories by decided by the merit of the territory, but there will be one more factor. Remember your untouchable universe? This will be known as your Clan or Sect's Core Universe. When claiming a territory, the further the universe is from the borders of your current territory, the exponentially more expensive it is. I believe this is an arrangement that will put your minds at ease.”
Hearing these words, even the other 8 top ranked Clans and Sects couldn't find a word worth rebutting. This system… It was for the best. Although it was obvious the Star Clan could take great advantage of this system to quickly expand their territory, it was also true that they could as well.
Plus, since the Star Clan had the largest territory to begin with, with two whole quadrants, they would also need more time to reclaim their own lands first, ironically putting them at a disadvantage.
King Star smiled brightly. They had succeeded.
He waved his hand, causing a bright board to appear in the air. It was filled with names, coordinates, and long strings of numbers following it.
At the very top was a very eye-catching name indeed: Celestial Universe.
And not many spots below that, there was yet another: Soul Universe.
The damning part? Unlike the 61 other locked universes with no point totals to their side, representing the 61 powers which had attended this day, both of those universes had clear point totals to their sides.
The message was clear: Even if it was the Sacharros, so long as you had enough points, the Federation would help you bring them down as well.
King Star's smile only seemed to grow brighter with each passing moment. ”There is only one final thing I will discuss before we officially open our Federation's first Parliament, and that is the special circ.u.mstance of True God gen –.”
”What a grand list.” A beautiful voice that seemed capable of making one's bones soften rang out, easily slicing through the momentum of King Star's words and causing him to inadvertently frown. ”I wonder how my husband would feel knowing that his territory was being sold off to the highest bidder without his consent…”
