The entire Heavenly Venerate Conference fell silent.
One could hear a pin drop.
Because the most inconceivable words came from the mouth of the person who should not have said them.
The monarch of the Vortex Kingdom took the lead in decaying?
"Everyone, there is no need to be angry."
Bai Long said, "Both sides are divided, and the Empyreans might split up because of this. Why not find a solution that both sides agree on, a solution that everyone is happy with? That is the best choice."
"But …"
The Celestial Venerables hesitated.
Bai Long smiled and said, "First of all, the topic that everyone is debating is: 'Do we Celestial Venerables always maintain the Celestial Venerables seat?' No one is arguing for the eternal seat of a Saint. Speak up, right?"
The Celestial Venerables shook their heads.
Even if it was the Celestial Venerable who began to have selfish motives, he only wanted to continue ruling, to grasp the power of the world, and to be his "Emperor" forever. Why would he care about the Saints?
"That Saint can be replaced, replaced. As the times change, those who are capable will take over. There shouldn't be any problems, right?" Bai Long said.
"Sure."
"Of course."
The Celestial Venerables spoke up one after another.
"Then, let's discuss the issue of us keeping our Empyrean seats." Bai Long looked around. "I have a plan that satisfies both sides. Everyone, please listen."
All the Empyreans fell silent.
"We will establish an organization that is higher than the Underworld. It will be called the Retired Emperor System," Bai Long said.
"Retired Emperor?"
"What do you mean?"
The other Heavenly Venerables were puzzled.
Bai Long said, "We are all retired emperors. We cast a shadow of our rules and authority and lend it to the other younger generations, allowing them to possess the power of a Heavenly Venerate."
"As for us, as the retired emperors, we are only responsible for enjoying our lives. We will hand over the power to others to 'govern' and wield the Heavenly Dao …"
Everyone was taken aback.
In other words, they had retired and become the emperor emeritus.
They gave up all real power and ushered in eternal life in their later years. Although they couldn't control the world, they could still travel freely and freely … they wouldn't die of old age.
"That's a good idea."
Those Empyreans who didn't want to abdicate thought about it and felt that it was fine.
After all, in their positions of authority, they also knew that when they grew old, they would no longer have the ability to innovate. Their talents would be exhausted, and they would no longer be able to benefit the universe. At that time, as old people, they would only wish to continue enjoying the invincible authority of an Empyrean …
But now?
Enjoying the rights, not carrying out the duties, and letting others carry out the duties was even better!
The others worked and enjoyed themselves.
"But, wouldn't it be unfair to let those successor Empyreans just carry out the rules and live a bitter life while we are responsible for enjoying it?" An Empyrean hesitated.
"So what? They are too young. Young people should suffer more and work for the good of the universe. "
An Empyrean was immediately satisfied. "Moreover, now that they have grasped the power of the world, they can carry out their grand plans. The entire universe is their country, and their country is like a painting. They should be filled with excitement, working hard to rule the world, and showing off their fists and feet … but at that time, we will have already seen through the world of mortals and will no longer care about power. That won't tempt us … I'm not interested in power, I've never touched it."
Bai Long glanced at the Empyrean.
Had this person already decayed so quickly?
If he didn't know how despicable that prehistoric existence was, he would have thought that this Heavenly Venerate was that prehistoric existence.
Seeing that everyone around him had agreed, he nodded. "Then, I'll be specific."
"First, the Retired Emperor's organization gathers all Empyrean core rules. It can be called the Fiendgod Banquet."
It didn't matter what the Empyreans were called.
Bai Long looked around and said, "Second, simplify the ruling hierarchy.
We are the 33 Empyreans. If each of us has a Empyrean who wields authority on our behalf, then there will be 33 executive Empyreans. That's too many! I suggest simplifying it into three people. We will lend all the Empyrean authority to these three people. "
"These three people will be called Amiro, who controls the Life Rule Law, Horace, who controls the Space Rule Law, and Gatha, who controls the Time Rule Law."
When everyone heard this, there was a flurry of discussion.
The 33 Empyreans had indeed simplified the system by projecting their rules onto these three people.
But …
Bai Long glanced at everyone and said, "I know what everyone is thinking. These three people each control the three strongest powers. Will they overthrow us retired emperors who have no real power?"
"They won't."
"They are just the three Great Empyreans of the universe that we have pushed out."
"Every time the three of them make a huge decision that affects the entire universe, the Retired Emperors behind them have to study and agree. This way, they can balance each other!"
Everyone fell into deep thought.
It was indeed a very perfect system of checks and balances.
This way, they could maintain what they wanted and also allow the universe to operate normally.
"This is a compromise."
Bai Long sighed inwardly. "We originally wanted to get rid of the oldest batch of rotten Empyreans, but we can only make do and let them continue to enjoy their power as the Retired Emperors."
Wasn't this also a kind of decay?
It was just that they could only use this kind of decay to fight against another, even greater kind of decay.
After all, there was no "trust" now. They could only make do like this!
Bai Long looked around and said, "If no one has any objections, then we can start entering the 'Fiendgod Banquet' together."
Bai Long paused for a moment, then looked at the others and said.
"In the future, the three Empyreans and the Sages of the universe will jointly rule the entire universe.
"Those who are virtuous can take over, and they can take turns …
"And we, the Retired Emperors who have no real power, the founding heroes, will be in charge of supervising the operation of the three Empyreans generation after generation.
"I believe that although the talents of the founding era are no longer there, the vision, calculations, and wisdom accumulated over the long years are enough for you to control the future development of the universe. You can also enjoy happiness and contribute to the universe. It can be said to be the best of both worlds."
The other Empyreans hesitated for a few seconds. "We still need to consider it. This will indeed allow us to benefit the universe, but it will also allow us to retreat unscathed in the future."
"Go ahead."
Bai Long said.
He watched as the other Empyreans left.
Finally, Heavenly Venerate Primal Life and Indestructible Heavenly Venerate reappeared where they were.
"The chess piece has been set. Let's see how that rotten fellow responds." Bai Long said with a solemn expression, "The Fiendgod Banquet has also appeared in this era as predicted. In my conjecture, I'm afraid it is a place where the Heavenly Dao rules converge. Now, it matches."
"That's interesting."
"Let's see how that fellow responds."
After all, the so-called battle was just a battle of the general trend.
They had already set their chess piece, and it was time to see how the other party would respond. The other party should not just watch helplessly as they gathered all their strength to resist him.
