Chapter 120: Chapter 93: City Resource Hegemony Battle
The Sleep Emperor’s words brought looks of envy to the eyes of many veteran Celestial Destiny Seekers present.
Among the Three Emperors, the Sleep Emperor’s strength had previously been slightly weaker.
Now that the Sleep Emperor had taken that step, they could truly stand on equal footing with the Star Emperor and the Dragon Emperor.
The Xin Xia Federation had finally produced a third powerhouse capable of reigning over the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations.
The Celestial Destiny Seekers present first congratulated the Sleep Emperor, then began to consider the benefits of the two proposals for their respective Heroic Cities.
The Battle for City Resources would determine the Xin Xia Federation’s allocation of resources to the various cities for the next three years.
Everyone was here representing their own city. In choosing between the two proposals, there was no right or wrong.
There was only the matter of which was more suitable for their city, and everyone would make the choice that best fit their city’s needs.
For instance, representatives from Heroic Cities with a large number of new Celestial Destiny Seekers would surely choose the first proposal.
Meanwhile, Heroic Cities with fewer Celestial Destiny Seekers would be more inclined to choose the second.
The Sleep Emperor gave the Celestial Destiny Seekers a few moments to consider, then spoke in an extremely serious tone.
"You may all begin voting. Each person may only vote once. There is no going back."
"Each of you represents the Heroic City behind you. You must choose carefully."
"Raise your left hand for the first proposal, and your right hand for the second."
Jin Cai was now deeply conflicted. Starlight City had a total of five new-generation Celestial Destiny Seekers.
Logically, Jin Cai should choose the first proposal without hesitation, but just thinking about Bai Chen’s and Yu Juanjuan’s personalities gave him a headache.
’Neither of those two can be trusted with any real responsibility!’
And as for Su Sheng, the Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker, Jin Cai was certain his healing was top-notch, but in battle, he would need protection.
If they chose the first proposal, Starlight City wouldn’t be able to earn many points during the inter-squad competitions between Celestial Destiny Seeker teams.
Moreover, the first proposal stipulated that each Celestial Destiny Seeker must lead their own squad, and it forbade two Celestial Destiny Seekers from being on the same team.
But Wen Tao had already said that Starlight City’s Combat-type Celestial Destiny Seeker with SS Level potential was tied to Su Sheng.
To make such a team-up possible, they had to choose the second proposal.
Pairing a Combat-type Celestial Destiny Seeker with SS Level potential with a Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker like Su Sheng would give them an advantage far surpassing that of other Celestial Destiny Seeker squads.
This made Jin Cai gradually lean more toward choosing the second proposal.
Besides, in the Slaughter Secret Realm created by the Sleep Emperor, every Celestial Destiny Seeker could unleash their full combat power without fear of injury.
Just as Jin Cai was wavering in his indecision, he heard the Sleep Emperor speak.
"Thirty Heroic Cities, including Kyoto, have now voted. Fourteen cities have chosen the first proposal, and fifteen cities have chosen the second."
"Currently, only Starlight City has yet to vote. I ask the representative of Starlight City to make a choice as soon as possible."
"If you choose the first proposal, the two proposals will be tied."
"I will then exercise my right as the chair of this Xin Xia conference and make the decision myself."
Jin Cai never expected that his vote would ultimately decide how the Battle for City Resources would be conducted.
The pressure on him was immense!
Jin Cai noticed that Kyoto, which ranked seventh in the number of new-generation Celestial Destiny Seekers, had actually chosen the second proposal.
Jin Cai had heard that the two heaven-blessed prodigies from the Imperial Capital’s Fang Family, both with SS potential ratings, had always been on the same team.
’It seems the rumor is true. Otherwise, Cicada Lotus would have no reason to make such a choice.’
At a time like this, Jin Cai couldn’t just take out his phone and consult with Lin Zhuo, Wen Tao, and the others.
Jin Cai had been feeling an immense amount of pressure, but then he saw the situation clearly.
He recalled that the Sleep Emperor had just expressed a preference for the second proposal.
At that point, it didn’t matter whether he chose the second proposal to finalize it, or if he chose the first, forcing the Sleep Emperor to use their authority to push the second one through.
Either way, the second proposal was a foregone conclusion.
Thinking this, Jin Cai raised his right hand without any pressure.
Seeing Jin Cai’s raised right hand, the Sleep Emperor smiled and said,
"Starlight City has chosen the second proposal. With 14 votes for the first proposal and 16 for the second, the second proposal passes."
"Everyone may return and begin preparations according to the second proposal."
After settling the proposal for the Battle for City Resources, the Sleep Emperor brought up several secondary topics for the Celestial Destiny Seekers present to discuss.
The matter of the Mass Divine Sect had already been dealt with in a previous meeting.
There was no need to discuss the trouble caused by such Bizarre organizations at the Xin Xia conference.
As everyone was discussing the secondary topics, Gu Yu noticed that the Sleep Emperor had fallen asleep again.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yi had just finished bathing Lan Po and Ice Glaze, who had been playing on the grass in the backyard.
The backyard only had a thin layer of sod, and the two little ones had splattered mud all over themselves while playing.
Lan Po and Ice Glaze’s roughhousing happened to remind Zhong Yi of the Red-Faced Hibiscus planted in the backyard.
The Red-Faced Hibiscus was the first Guardian Beast Zhong Yi had nurtured with Flowing Soul Soil after arriving in this Guardian Beast World.
When the Red-Faced Hibiscus ascended to the Extraordinary Tier and reached Silver Quality, it would have the chance to undergo Evolution into a Red Poisonous Wood Hibiscus.
It would transform from an herbaceous plant-type Guardian Beast into a woody plant-type Guardian Beast.
A strong, woody trunk would allow the Red Poisonous Wood Hibiscus to grow hundreds of flower heads.
