Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 464 Star Lord's Celestial Position
“This time, voters are being selected.”

"It passed through my checkpoint."

"You are the fourth."

Suan looked down at Jiang Jian, paused, and continued.

"But."

"The first three beings are not as good as you."

The words fell.

It spread its wings and flapped them gently.

Its enormous body vanished into nothingness in an instant.

There was not a trace left.

next moment.

The vast arena crumbled inch by inch.

Amidst the shifting light and shadow.

Jiang Jian opened his eyes, looked around, and felt a chill run down his spine!
Not far away, a black-headed statue stood, its shadow obscuring the sky.

Beneath the statue.

There is a row of luxurious seats.

Many living beings were sitting on it.

They were all deeply accomplished in their cultivation and possessed extraordinary qualities.

In front of the seats are hundreds of holographic screens.

among them.

On the central screen.

The video being played was of himself and the Suan.

"Su, congratulations on passing!"

Commander Wu strode forward and landed in front of Jiang Jian.

He reached out and took off his metal mask, his face beaming with joy!

Behind Commander Wu.

On those luxurious seats.

Many creatures looked over, their expressions varied.

Not long ago.

The news of the level 7 root bone has already spread.

These bureaucratic families were all eager to take advantage of this!
At this moment.

Jiang Jian performed exceptionally well and passed the formal voter assessment.

For a while.

Background information about Jiang Jian.

The rumors were rampant, and there were no secrets whatsoever.

"So they are creatures from the Floating Realm. No wonder their resumes are so thin."

A creature squinted at the screen in front of it, its tone enigmatic.

Other creatures also began to speak, sharing their own information.

"I have heard that the Floating Realm is bitterly cold and inhabited by only a few humans."

"Aside from a few scattered small sects, there are no other forces in the Floating Realm."

"However, the location of the Floating Realm is special, as it is right on the edge of the White Lotus Holy Sect."

"But the White Lotus Holy Sect is a Star Lord-level sect, and it would never recruit disciples in the Floating Realm."

Someone looked at Jiang Jian with a puzzled expression and spoke up.

"Have you noticed that this person's resource allocation is not low?"

"That teleportation technique is at least at level 6."

"It's even possible that it could reach level 7!"

"This level of talent orb is definitely not something a rogue cultivator could possess!"

Hear this.

The creatures in the seats all had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

If Jiang Jian has other forces supporting him.

Then.

The strategic value of binding him to his own family.

It will inevitably decline significantly.

"That shows how ignorant you are."

at this time.

An elderly man with white hair stroked his beard and spoke calmly.

This statement came out.

Almost all the representatives of the prominent families looked toward the old man.

The white-haired old man picked up his teacup, enjoying the attention of everyone. He took a sip and then smiled, "You don't understand the Floating Realm."

"Although the environment is very harsh and there are few people around."

"However, there are a few small sects that have lived there for generations."

"As far as I know, these small sects were once very prominent a few hundred years ago."

"At its peak, the strongest among them had even reached the level of a Star Lord-level power!"

"Although it is now withering and declining."

"However, it is not surprising that some treasures have been passed down."

The white-haired old man, with an air of superiority, said meaningfully, "In my opinion, this person is very likely a direct disciple of a minor sect."

"This talent orb, which is at least level 6, is the foundation left behind by the sect, and also this person's trump card!"

Hearing the words of the white-haired old man.

The other creatures all seemed to be deep in thought.

A level 6 talent orb is indeed a precious resource.

However, if placed in a Star Lord-level kingdom, it wouldn't even reach the level of a core spiritual object.

Only level 7 talent orbs, and higher levels.

That is the real regulated resource.

at the same time.

They also regained their confidence in winning over Jiang Jian.

because.

According to common sense.

For disciples of minor sects, the greatest goal in this life is to join a Star Lord-level force!

Saturn in 100 Realms

The main rulers are the eight star lords, as well as several other star lord-level forces.

Among these behemoths.

It has both kingdoms and sects.

And caught between the forces of the Star Lord level.

There are many small sects and small kingdoms.

Their geographical locations are poor, their resource points are scarce, and they have no value in dominating them.

after all.

Star Lord-level powers treat the creatures within their territory exceptionally well.

Ordinary living beings, even if they do nothing, can receive some basic resources every now and then.

therefore.

Countless beings on Saturn try every means to enter a star lord-level power and become its inhabitants.

These are small countries and small sects.

Only when one's own fortune becomes strong enough.

Only then are they eligible to submit an application and join the Star Lord-level territory.

just.

These requests for submission are often ruthlessly rejected.

Many star-lord level nations will actually gradually shrink their territory to some extent.

The Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom is just like that.

At the last grand court assembly of the Demon Kingdom, the nation's high-ranking officials made a decision.

Within the country's borders, resource-scarce and useless areas are considered a burden.

Furthermore, it was granted as a fiefdom to bureaucratic families.

Give them great power and make these aristocratic families work hard.

When the scenery flourishes and the fortune is abundant.

Then, these additional fiefdoms will be incorporated into the Demon Kingdom.

At the same time, the powerful families will not suffer losses, as they will still control their fiefdoms.

However, the fortune of this place must belong entirely to the nation.

This system led to the rise of bureaucratic families in the demon kingdom.

Each of them was a fiefdom king, wielding immense power.

but.

To avoid polluting the nation's atmosphere.

Saturn's laws stipulate this.

In bureaucratic families, people of the same bloodline cannot hold high-ranking official positions simultaneously.

Their quantity is strictly limited.

This leads to.

In the court of the demon kingdom.

Each prominent family has only one or two high-ranking officials.

Almost all established families need to win over voters and allocate resources to support them in order to strengthen their own power.

"These are the conditions offered to you by the sixth young master of the Wu family."

Commander Wu calmed himself down, pulled Jiang Jian aside, and handed her a list.

Here.

Those who have passed the assessment are in the waiting area.

In addition to hundreds of temporary voters.

There were three other creatures, each occupying a section of the territory, and no one approached them.

"The head of the Wu family is currently holding the official position of Sima and has been granted the title of Prince of Anyang!"

"Among the many noble families in the Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom, the Wu family ranks among the top three!"

While Jiang Jian was receiving the list, Commander Wu put on his mask, set up a defensive barrier, and spoke in a low voice.

"If you have a preferred official position here, the Wu family can arrange it for you after you have an audience with the Emperor!"

There was a pause.

Commander Wu lowered his voice.

"Sixth Young Master said so."

"Based on your performance just now."

"Even if the Prince of Anyang were to personally submit a petition to request a fiefdom for you as an exception, it wouldn't be impossible!"

Hear this.

Seeing the strange expression on Jiang's face, he shook his head and said, "I don't need a fiefdom."

After talking with Qi Ming and Chen Xin.

Jiang Jian has gained a lot of knowledge about the Demon Kingdom.

He is very clear.

Having a fiefdom sounds glamorous, but it's actually a lot of hard work.

The right path is to serve as a voter, hold an important official position, and control the resources of one's jurisdiction.

The so-called "fiefdom".

It is only suitable for use in developing a family business.

I have no need for it at all.

"These resources are indeed very generous."

Jiang looked at the list but did not refuse outright.

The items mentioned above are all practical spiritual objects.

The most precious of them all is a level 6 divinely bestowed weapon.

The other resources are also precious spiritual materials used by beings in the Divine Palace Realm to aid in their cultivation.

"This is just a small gift."

"If the partnership is successfully established, the Wu family's subsequent resource support will definitely satisfy you."

Commander Wu smiled, "There's less than a month left before the selection of aristocratic families."

"You have time to think about it."

The words fell.

Commander Wu said nothing more, dispelled the isolation barrier, and turned to leave the waiting area.

The Wu family's attempts to win them over.

It was clearly seen by the representatives of other powerful families.

just.

They sat in their seats, not appearing to be in a hurry.

Just as Commander Wu said.

It will be a long time before we return to Saturn.

For Jiang Jian, this is a formal voter.

They are all preparing resources, hoping to take it down.

It's not just Jiang Jian.

The other three are official voters.

And in the waiting area, outstanding temporary voters.

They were all courted by powerful families.

Even among the temporary voters who performed poorly and barely passed the test, a few prominent families sent people to negotiate with them.

after all.

The status of a temporary voter was already predetermined.

Once they enter the demon kingdom, they will surely assume an important official position.

Within the Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom system.

State officials have the power to control the resources within their jurisdiction.

Although a report must be submitted for every use of the treasury.

However, the person who reviewed the report was the official himself.

not to mention.

In the resource category.

One of them is written very clearly.

It is called "for self-cultivation".

this means.

The Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom originally intended to use its resources to cultivate prodigies.

The structure of a kingdom differs from that of a sect.

But in essence, they are all quite similar.

It needs a constant influx of fresh blood, which must be nurtured to enhance the overall fortune of the nation.

Thus, the ultimate goal is achieved: to maintain the position of the star lord.

Only the eight celestial lords of Saturn are qualified to use their planetary cores to assist in their cultivation.

This is a clash at the Spirit Platform Realm level.

After all.

All the systems and regulations of these forces are designed to serve the cultivation of those in the Lingtai Realm.

In recent days.

The internal strife within Saturn is intensifying.

Not long ago.

Jiang Jian had heard this when he was talking to Chen Xin.

Soon after.

The next battle for the position of Star Lord.

The existing eight star lords are likely to undergo a reshuffle!
