The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1605: Chapter 1605: Sending Word to the Human Clan

The original second chair, Babie, has passed away, and the chief chairman Ao Tian’s return is unknown. Now in Sky Creation City, indeed there is a need for someone to take charge; otherwise, in case of incidents, it might be difficult to propose an effective solution.

Currently, with Supreme Jing Yan and Supreme Bai Xue in Sky Creation City, there naturally won’t be any problems. However, these two lords obviously won’t stay here long-term.

Electing a new second chair is an urgent matter.

After the Earth Clan elder spoke, the other elders nodded in agreement.

”Then... Next, let the elders express their opinions to see who is suitable to take on the role of second chair.” The Earth Clan elder’s eyes flickered.

Not only this Earth Clan elder, but the other elders present were also quite active in their thoughts.

Second chair!

The elders here might all have a little desire for that position. However, once they thought about the presence of the two Supreme beings from the Human Clan, that desire was extinguished. With the Human Clan’s Supremes here, how could the position of second chair possibly be within their reach?

This position of second chair will likely be filled by a strong member of the Human Clan.

”I believe Elder Xiao Ye from the Human Clan is the most suitable to be the second chair. Elder Xiao Ye has served as a council elder for a long time and is quite experienced in handling various affairs. Also, being a strong figure of the Human Clan, he can easily connect with Supreme Jing Yan and Supreme Bai Xue.” The Netherworld Clan elder was the first to speak.

He knew he had no hope so he immediately proposed for Elder Xiao Ye to take on the role of second chair. Whether or not Elder Xiao Ye becomes the second chair, at least he could offer favor to the Human Clan. Even if Elder Xiao Ye ultimately doesn’t become the second chair, the two Supremes of the Human Clan would have no negative impressions of the Netherworld Clan.

”Honorable elders! The position of second chair should naturally be taken by Elder Xiao Ye. Our the Spirit Monster Clan have always respected Elder Xiao Ye greatly. Should he become the second chair, our the Spirit Monster Clan would be most convinced.” A strong figure from the Spirit Monster Clan at the square below loudly stated right after the Netherworld Clan elder spoke.

The the Spirit Monster Clan currently has no seats in the council. However, having previously been part of the Six Great Clans, they still have a speaking right at the moment. This council is a large-scale one, not an internal council meeting.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be held at Sky Creation City Square, nor would it invite many strong individuals from Hundred Clans.

Jing Yan, seated there, glanced at that strong figure of the Spirit Monster Clan, nodding slightly to him.

The strong figures of the Spirit Monster Clan were already observing the expressions of Jing Yan and Bai Xue closely. Upon seeing Jing Yan’s sign of acknowledgment, they grew even more excited, as if invigorated.

”Exactly! Having Elder Xiao Ye from the Human Clan as the second chair makes it more convenient for contacting the Human Clan’s Supreme. Should Sky Creation City face any challenging issues requiring a Supreme’s intervention, asking Elder Xiao Ye to contact Supreme Jing Yan and Supreme Bai Xue would undoubtedly be the most efficient.” Another strong figure from the Spirit Monster Clan loudly exclaimed.

”The Spirit Monster Clan’s commander spoke very sensibly.”

”I think so too!”

Many strong individuals from middle and small clans echoed their agreement.

”Elder Xiao Ye, what is your opinion?” The Earth Clan elder’s eyes turned to Xiao Ye.

Originally, if the Supremes from the Human Clan didn’t appear and a second chair election were held, this Earth Clan elder would be the most likely candidate, as he would have the greatest chance. Among the elders present, he has the most seniority and presumably the greatest strength.

He also wants to become the second chair.

”Well...” Elder Xiao Ye’s face reddened slightly.

Xiao Ye also knows that without Jing Yan and Bai Xue, the position of second chair surely wouldn’t have fallen to him. This makes him feel slightly embarrassed. Xiao Ye’s thick-skinned nature nowhere near matches that of the Spirit Monster Clan creatures.

Confronted by the Earth Clan elder’s inquiry, Xiao Ye found himself at a loss.

Xiao Ye’s gaze turned towards Jing Yan.

”Elder Xiao Ye!”

”If everyone supports you in taking on the role of second chair, and you believe you have the ability, then I think you should accept it without hesitation.” Jing Yan directly stated.

Having Xiao Ye become the second chair also counts as securing benefits for the Human Clan.

With Xiao Ye as the second chair, future advantages will surely lean towards the Human Clan. For example, during Babie’s tenure as second chair, how many benefits did he secure for the Yin Yang Clan?

The Yin Yang Clan had seven slots for entering the Chaos Secret Realm, and these were fixed slots, just one less than the Beast Clan. Normally, the Yin Yang Clan wouldn’t receive seven fixed slots; they’d get six or five fixed slots instead.

As long as Xiao Ye doesn’t act too excessively, other clans won’t have any objections. Moreover, with the Human Clan’s two Supremes present, their strength greatly enhanced, having some resources bias towards the Human Clan is only natural.

Why does the Beast Clan get so many resources? Isn’t it because the Beast Clan is strong enough!

The stronger one is, the more influence they have.

”Hmm!”

”I believe I can handle the responsibilities of second chair well. If everyone thinks I am suitable for the role, then I will certainly not disappoint my mission.” Upon hearing Jing Yan, Elder Xiao Ye gained confidence and promptly declared.

The Earth Clan elder sighed lightly, knowing that under current circumstances, Xiao Ye becoming the second chair was almost guaranteed.

In front of Jing Yan and Bai Xue, who dares to stand up against Xiao Ye becoming the second chair?

Moreover, even if a few oppose, it won’t matter; as long as the majority supports Xiao Ye, he can still become the second chair.

”Elder Xiao Ye, I support you in taking on the role of second chair too.” The oldest Earth Clan elder gritted his teeth in agreement.

With his stance, the remaining elders of the Earth Clan and Netherworld Clan also followed suit.

”Chairman Xiao Ye, the next council is for you to host personally.” The Earth Clan elder said.

”Good!” Xiao Ye nodded slightly.

He stood up, left his seat, and walked towards the higher seats to sit down.

”Everyone!”

”Next, we need to discuss the vacant elder positions.”

”Currently, there are a total of three vacant positions,” second chair Xiao Ye said slowly.

Before the changes in the council, Ao Tian was the Councilman, and Babie was the second chair. Besides them, the Beast Clan occupied two seats among the nine elders, the Yin Yang Clan occupied one, the Earth Clan occupied two, and the Netherworld Clan occupied two. The Human Clan occupied one, and the Spirit Monster Clan occupied one.

Now, not counting the seat of the Yin Yang Clan, indeed, three elder seats are vacant.

”The attitude of the Yin Yang Clan is still unclear. If they make the right choice, then I think we should leave an elder seat open for the Yin Yang Clan. So, of the three vacant seats, we will keep one for the Yin Yang Clan. Additionally, we need to reserve one for the middle-class clan that will ascend to the Six Great Clans. As for the final seat, everyone needs to nominate someone from the clans to hold it,” continued second chair Xiao Ye.

”Elder Xiao Ye, does this still need nominations? It’s certainly going to be the Human Clan! After you became the second chair, the Human Clan no longer has a council elder seat, so this elder seat definitely should be taken by the Human Clan!” a strong figure from the Spirit Monster Clan immediately spoke loudly.

”This Spirit Monster Clan is quite interesting. Sometimes, they can indeed get things done,” said Jing Yan, sitting there in a very low voice.

In situations like this, the value of the Spirit Monster Clan becomes apparent. Jing Yan originally held no particular goodwill toward the Spirit Monster Clan, but at this moment, his view slightly shifted.

When it comes to nominations for second chair and council elders, Jing Yan is not suitable to speak directly. Although he is a Supreme, he is neither the Chief Chairman nor even an elder of the council. If he were to suggest that a human should take the position of second chair or elder, it would indeed be inappropriate, and Jing Yan isn’t thick-skinned enough for that.

The Spirit Monster Clan coming out to offer full support saved Jing Yan a lot of trouble.

”Yes, as long as used correctly, everyone has their uses,” Bai Xue, sitting next to Jing Yan, also murmured softly.

”Right! Exactly! The Human Clan currently doesn’t have an elder seat; I want to say that even one elder seat is too few. If they could have two or three seats, it would be fitting,” added another strong figure from the Spirit Monster Clan.

”Yes! The Human Clan must have at least one elder seat!”

”I support the Human Clan having an elder seat.”

Several strong figures from the smaller clans echoed this sentiment.

”With Heavenly Venerate Xiao Ye’s change in duties to the second chair, there is no longer a Human Clan powerhouse among the elder seats, and this is indeed inappropriate. Nominating a strong figure from the Human Clan for this elder seat is very suitable,” said an elder from the Netherworld Clan.

Another elder from the Netherworld Clan followed with similar remarks.

Seeing this, the elders from the Earth Clan could only express their agreement.

”Since everyone says so, let’s have this elder seat be held by a strong figure from the Human Clan!” second chair Xiao Ye nodded with a smile and said.

”Next, let’s discuss which top intermediate clan will be promoted to replace the Spirit Monster Clan’s position in the Six Great Clans.” Xiao Ye gazed at the potential intermediate clans below as he spoke.

With those words from Xiao Ye, the strong figures from the top intermediate clans tensed their breathing.

This is a significant event concerning the future of their clans.

Among the strong figures from the intermediate clans, the atmosphere instantly became tense and filled with a sense of competition.

”Second chair! Esteemed elders! Our White Crystal Clan has nine kings, and our strength is the top among intermediate clans. Therefore, we hope the council considers promoting our White Crystal Clan to the Six Great Clans,” the strong figure from the White Crystal Clan said loudly.

In the White Crystal Clan, the levels are equivalent to that of Human Clan Venerables. With nine kings, their numbers are considerable. It’s worth noting that the active Venerables in the Human Clan amount to only a little over ten. The Spirit Monster Clan’s Commander is similarly around a dozen. The Netherworld Clan’s Netherworld Kings may be slightly more, but ranges from twenty to thirty.

The White Crystal Clan’s promotion to the Six Great Clans is entirely feasible.

However, there are about three or four intermediate clans with strength similar to the White Crystal Clan.

Upon hearing what the strong figure from the White Crystal Clan said, the other intermediate clans began to speak up as well, none wanting to concede. This is not the time for courtesy.

”What do the elders think?” asked Chairman Xiao Ye, looking at the sitting elders.

After some discussion, the decision was made to promote the White Crystal Clan to the Six Great Clans. The White Crystal Clan also greatly benefited from the support of the Spirit Monster Clan. It seems they had a private agreement with the White Crystal Clan.

The Spirit Monster Clan’s support for the White Crystal Clan, along with Jing Yan’s increased goodwill toward the Spirit Monster Clan, allowed him to voice an extra comment, helping the White Crystal Clan break through.

Once the major issues were resolved, things became simpler. Next was mainly sending someone to the Yin Yang Clan to see their current attitude toward the Sky Creation City Alliance. If they wished to leave the Sky Creation City Alliance, the council would not stop them. If they wished to continue in the alliance and acknowledged that the fate of Babie and others was deserved, the council would reserve an elder seat for the Yin Yang Clan.

The Yin Yang Clan is still a major clan with nearly a hundred strong figures equivalent to the Heavenly Venerate level. This force is considerable, so Jing Yan considers giving the Yin Yang Clan an opportunity.

If the Yin Yang Clan exits the Sky Creation City Alliance, it would lower the alliance’s strength a notch. In the Yin Yang Clan, there are several strong figures at the Chaos Supreme level, equivalent to Babie’s level. If they combined forces, even Jing Yan could find it difficult to handle them.

...

The conference ended, and the strong figures of the Human Clan gathered inside a building.

”Supreme Jing Yan, who do you think from the Human Clan is suitable to become an elder?” second chair Xiao Ye asked respectfully to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan glanced at his mentor, Zhan Yue Venerable.

In his heart, Jing Yan was eager for Zhan Yue Venerable to take the elder position. However, mentor Zhan Yue had only recently been promoted to Venerable, and his strength was lacking. If Zhan Yue Venerable could reach the First Tier Venerable level, Jing Yan would undoubtedly appoint him as an elder of the council without hesitation.

After some consideration, Jing Yan gave up the thought. Without sufficient strength, it’s indeed unsuitable for him to become a council elder.

After a moment of contemplation, Jing Yan finally said, ”Wouldn’t Chunyu Venerable be very suitable?”

Jing Yan smiled at Chunyu Venerable.

”Supreme Jing Yan, if I were to become a council elder, I must stay in Sky Creation City. However, I don’t wish to remain here; I want to reside in the Human Territory,” Chunyu Venerable shook his head and said.

His expression was firm, indicating this was not a pretense, but a genuine desire not to become a council elder.

”If Venerable Chunyu doesn’t wish to serve as a council elder, then the news needs to be relayed to the Human Clan for them to identify a suitable Venerable,” Jing Yan nodded and added.

”Alright! I will immediately send someone to relay this message to the Human Clan,” second chair Xiao Ye agreed at once.
