My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

"Use this to decide the leader of your world."

The phantom of the deity gradually disappeared.

But a strange mark was permanently left in the sky. As long as the cultivators focused their gaze on the mark, they could achieve the voting that the gods had spoken of.

The appearance of a strange deity caused a huge uproar! (Wu Yi, 7th edition, 888, bell fins, 600 million)

This live broadcast obviously couldn't be shown in areas where the curse is banned, but the moment the deity appeared, the power of the curse spread to every corner of the world. This was definitely the work of an existence beyond the mortal realm.

This miracle was made possible by Lin Ye lending the two children he brought back from the future to the Lord of the Great Wilderness. In essence, it was a temporary and significant enhancement of the Wilderness Curse.

As for that deity, the "Saint of Creation," it was a phantom created by Lin Ye by activating the aura of his imperial blood.

It's still quite intimidating!

The Three Realms War sounds like a war between three worlds.

According to that strange deity, two of the three worlds will face destruction!?

terrible!

The only good news is that the Demon Emperor Lin Ye's talent has actually been recognized and envied by that strange Creation Saint, which shows that there are still capable people in our world!

Whether in the west, south, or the northern continent, Lin Ye's enemies are everywhere. At this moment, their leaders are panicked, but they also feel a sense of relief amidst their misfortune.

The mysterious deity forbids the Endless Qi Refining Technique from participating in the competition.

It's fine for Lin Ye's own territory, but this will likely significantly impact his promotion of the Endless Qi Refining Method in other regions, making it difficult for it to become a trend!

In fact, what the other party did not know was that Lin Ye did not plan to promote the Endless Qi Refining Method in other places for the time being because he needed the military advantage of the Discipline Star!

As for deciding the leader by voting?

All three continents are currently in the process of integrating internally, and have yet to become a unified whole!

Especially in the southern continent, the Holy City's conquests against other major powers have been greatly affected by the Blood Mist.

The appearance of this deity may be a good opportunity to unify the internal affairs.

Moreover, the mysterious deity gave everyone the opportunity to give one like and one dislike; there was no rule against disliking cultivators from other continents...

All the major powers on the three continents were incredibly cunning and thought of the same thing: to give Lin Ye a thumbs down!

As long as enough cultivators criticize him, he will never become the representative of the Eastern Divine Continent! He will inevitably suffer a loss!

If he wins any prizes through the competition, he won't get any!

At the same time, the Jiuli Emperor of the Eastern Divine Continent actively contacted the three parties, believing that he was qualified to become the leader of the Eastern Divine Continent and to reclaim the territory that the palace had stolen from the Jiuli Immortal Dynasty. In return, he was willing to act as the spokesperson for the interests of the three parties in the Eastern Divine Continent after the matter was accomplished.

These topics made it rare for people to suspect that Lin Ye was the sage of creation.

It doesn't seem like he did it himself at all. What benefit would it bring him?

The propaganda and violence machines of the three major powers were activated simultaneously, demanding that all cultivators under their jurisdiction use their power to "trample" on Lin Ye.

Undoubtedly, the major powers, through their consolidation over the past decade or so, and in an environment like the Blood Mist where resources are extremely scarce and suitable for implementing a rationing system, have gained far greater control over the cultivators under their command than ever before.

No matter how high Lin Ye's reputation was, many cultivators could only go against their conscience and criticize him.

Soon, the mysterious deity displayed the status of a mid-term vote, and Lin Ye was far ahead of the rest of the world in both the number of dislikes and likes.

But because it mobilized resources from three continents, it received more dislikes than likes!

The powerful figures from the three continents were greatly encouraged.

If things continue like this, Lin Ye will never be able to become the spokesperson for the Eastern Divine Continent!

Not only did the people in the palace feel bullied by outsiders, but even Lin Ye's Daoist partners, many of whom were unaware of Lin Ye's plans, felt uneasy.

But Lin Ye calmly replied, "This is not a problem."

However, at this point, some people also noticed something suspicious...

"That mysterious expert didn't say that the winner would be determined by subtracting the number of likes from the number of dislikes. Is that really the rule?"

"Could it be wishful thinking on our part, or maybe we're just comparing who gets more likes?"

"Or... in its published rankings, it simply puts Master in first place." Bu Suanzi said quietly, "Both dislikes and likes represent influence, and there is no difference to the strange gods. Is it possible that the ranking is based on the sum of the two when it is settled?"

Upon hearing this, Long Yin was suddenly startled, as if struck by a sudden realization: "Ah! Sister, could it be that Uncle will become the ruler of the four continents!?"

Chapter 542 Ticket Type Showdown (Part 2)

Bu Suanzi and Long Yin are having a secret talk.

The two discussed the vote counting method, and Bu Suanzi asserted, "No matter which method is used, Master will win!"

Long Yin pondered for a moment and said, "Sister, are you saying that in the Eastern Divine Continent, where the number of likes and dislikes is relatively close, we need to make Uncle catch up in the number of likes?"

That way we can at least secure one seat!

Bu Suanzi nodded and said, "That's right, we're only a little short of the praise from the Eastern Divine Continent."

As long as that mysterious deity doesn't specifically target Master, we can at least retain our representative seats in the Four Eastern Continents.

Upon hearing this, Long Yin was filled with emotion.

"Yes, that being who calls himself the Saint of Creation, since he's so powerful, he certainly wouldn't go back on his word. Even if he's dissatisfied, he should only target Master within the rules..."

In that case, all they need to do is garner some votes so that Lin Ye's number of likes minus dislikes in the Eastern Divine Continent surpasses that of the Nine Li Emperor, bringing him to first place and securing a seat for him.

In this scenario, if the ranking is based solely on the number of likes or the sum of likes and dislikes during the settlement, Lin Ye will simultaneously receive representative seats from all four continents!

Conversely, if the ranking is based on the number of likes minus the number of dislikes, Lin Ye could also become a representative of the Eastern Divine Continent.

Even in the most unbelievable scenario, where the total number of dislikes is the higher the better, or the number of dislikes is calculated by subtracting the number of likes from the total number of dislikes, Lin Ye would still strangely become the representative of the other three continents besides the Eastern Divine Continent.

Victory is within our grasp!

Long Yin hesitated for a moment, then said, "We're just one step away. How can we make Dong Shenzhou's votes overtake us? Although this is my uncle's territory, where the votes for likes and dislikes are the closest, we still have more than 200 million fewer likes."

"Moreover, to surpass the Nine Li Emperor, who is currently number one in the Eastern Divine Continent, in terms of the number of likes and dislikes, we need even more likes..."

Bu Suanzi smiled and said, "We don't need to do anything."

"Sister, why is this?"

"The secret lies in this [public disclosure of the vote count]."

Bu Suanzi explained leisurely, "Even the most naive cultivator knows that Master changed the cultivation rules of the Qi Refining stage through a grand vow, and that vow was spread throughout the world."

"Without a doubt, in the hearts of those independent cultivators, small sects, and overseas cultivators who are far from the core conflicts on the mainland, Master has a positive image."

"But this time, seeing the vote count, Master is far ahead in both likes and dislikes, but the dislikes outnumber the likes. What will they think?"

Long Yin seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "Target them."

"That's right, it's that simple. Every cultivator has one like and one dislike, and voting is so simple that you only need to look up at the sky. Almost everyone will vote."

Therefore, the Master, who has excellent public appeal, will undoubtedly receive the most scattered votes immediately after the vote count is released.

Bu Suanzi said, "Leaving aside the other continents, in the Eastern Divine Continent, where the number of praises is closest to the number of criticisms, Master's overtaking is inevitable."

Sister, just wait for the next announcement of the vote count!

Long Yin smiled and said, "That's great! I must go and congratulate my uncle properly tonight."

At this point, the pretty dragon girl paused, a blush inexplicably flashing across her face.

After a moment of silence, Bu Suanzi's mysterious tone suddenly softened, and she quickly said, "Sister, please take me with you..."

......

a.

The second ranking of likes and dislikes has been released.

Lin Ye's likes indeed surged across all four continents, especially in the Eastern Divine Continent, where the number of likes minus dislikes surpassed that of the Nine Li Emperor, taking him straight to first place!

As for the number of steps taken, since the mobilization capacity of the three continents has been used up, there has not been a significant increase.

One seat secured!

Even the votes from the other three continents are not far from being overtaken!

The cultivators at the palace were jubilant, while on the other side, Lin Ye's enemies were in a much worse situation...

In fact, the enemy has also realized that the vote counting method may not be what they initially thought.

The three-continental alliance decided to hold a meeting to discuss the vote count and future strategies for dealing with Lin Ye.

What's cunning is that this was a closed-door meeting between the leaders of the three-way alliance.

If a large meeting is held, their internal intelligence could very well leak into the palace...

After all, Lin Ye's reputation was renowned, and the imperial palace was eager to curry favor with him; it was easy to imagine that Lin Ye had quite a few spies hidden among the high-ranking officials of various forces...

Therefore, only three leaders attended the meeting: the Lord of the Holy City representing the South, the Lord of the Demon Network representing the West, and the True Man of Mending Heaven representing the North.

To demonstrate their trust, the three sent their true forms to the meeting, which took place behind the continental wall in Beihengzhou, ensuring that the people of Dongshenzhou could not eavesdrop.

The Lord of the Holy City spoke first: "After the meeting, we will each distribute the resolutions to ensure absolute confidentiality."

"We have already had a thorough discussion about the authenticity of the 'Saint of Creation,' and that topic is not on today's agenda."

"Regardless of its authenticity, without this mysterious expert, we would probably not be able to gather here as we are today."

The leader of the Magic Network Alliance, Yin Lingyi, exclaimed, "Yes, it certainly opens doors of convenience for us!"

The powerful figures of the three continents did not care whether the Creation Saint was real or not.

Since they lack the ability to disprove it, even if they don't believe it, they can only prepare for the eventuality.

Even if it's fake, the three continents have become more closely connected through this event and have had to bring forward their respective leaders, which is advantageous in their confrontation with Lin Ye, not to mention the leaders of the three continents.

Anyway, if it's fake, Lin Ye will be the one who loses face the most!

The Holy City Lord continued, following the Alliance Leader's lead: "Indeed, this time we'll mainly discuss this sword hanging high in the sky, and discuss the [votes]..."

"What exactly is the vote counting method? The Creator Saint did not specify, and its thoughts are unknown. We can only speculate on the most reasonable scenario."

"The most reasonable scenario is that the votes are counted by subtracting the number of dislikes from the number of likes—"

This method will select the most esteemed monks.

"The second most reasonable scenario is to rank the votes by the sum of likes and dislikes—"

This will allow the most influential monks to be selected.

"In the previous vote, we focused too much on the first scenario and overlooked the fact that if the vote counting method adopted the sum of likes and dislikes, that devil would become the joint representative of four continents..."

The Heaven-Mending Master sighed helplessly, "Yes, the problem is, how should we remedy this now?"

The three of them compiled a list of data.

On average, each of the three major alliances can determine 50% of the votes for their respective continents. This high percentage is largely due to the harm caused by the Blood Mist.

If pressure is applied to the extreme, some more can be squeezed out, but it is difficult to exceed 60%.

Their ally in the Eastern Divine Continent—the Anti-Lin Ye Alliance led by the Jiuli Immortal Dynasty—also controls 40% of the votes in the Eastern Divine Continent.

The imperial palace itself also controls about 30% of the votes in the Eastern Divine Continent.

The number of cultivators on the four continents is approximately equal. Now, we can take 100% as the total number of cultivators on each continent. The total population of the four continents is 400%, and the total number of votes is 800%.

Lin Ye's vote count is as follows:

Dong Shenzhou - Praise: Approximately 30% of the tickets sold were from local ticket holders at the imperial palace, plus approximately 20% from individual tickets.

Dong Shenzhou - [Note: The last part, "踩," appears to be an unrelated fragment and doesn't translate directly. It's left as is.]

In the Eastern Divine Continent, Lin Ye was the clear winner!

The situation is similar in the other three continents - Lin Ye's praise: 10%-20% for individual tickets.

The other three continents - [referring to a specific continent/region]: The anti-forest alliance received approximately 50% of the vote.

The Heaven-Mending Immortal said, "The Eastern Divine Continent has been lost, but fortunately, the other three continents are still in our hands."

"But—what if the settlement method is based on a combination of likes and dislikes?"

"Let alone in the Eastern Divine Continent, even in our own territory, the sum of Lin Ye's (8)(3) zero long 〇 strange nine bargain 9 Lin Mengzan is equivalent to more than 60% of the total number of cultivators in the entire continent!"

"Even if we mobilize all the likes we can, we still can't surpass Lin Ye, and we've already thrown as many dislikes as possible at Lin Ye, so we can't vote for ourselves anymore."

The leader of the Magic Network Alliance said helplessly, "Does this mean we have no choice but to abandon a region and allocate some of our points?"

"Here comes the problem."
