Chapter 877: Voting
"What kind of trick are you playing now?"
Ye Zichen's eyes were bloodshot. He gnashed his teeth and roared.
His smile, coupled with his mocking, playful smile. Before coming here, Gu Li had definitely done something to the Outer Realms.
In his fury, Ye Zichen couldn't help but step forward. Gu Li had long since anticipated this, and an obscure light flashed through his eyes.
"Whether it's a trick or not, I can't say for sure. But what I can tell you is that, tch tch, those guys are in pretty bad shape. "
"You ….."
In his agitation, Ye Zichen noticed Gu Li's subtle smile. Instantly, he sobered up from his muddled rage.
Gu Li was provoking him on purpose.
The fury on his face gradually vanished, and he stepped back.
When Gu Li saw this, he arched his brows.
"So you've realized."
Why hadn't Gu Li taken Ye Zichen seriously before? It was mainly because Ye Zichen was easily provoked. With the slightest provocation, Ye Zichen's rage would rise to his head and he'd lose all reason. Angry people were the easiest to expose their weaknesses.
However, Gu Li hadn't expected Ye Zichen to realize this.
It seemed Ye Zichen wasn't as easy to deal with as he'd thought, but he was only slightly difficult, that was all.
"Emperor Ye, why aren't you saying anything? Could it be that you, someone who cares about the world, are going to abandon your millions of citizens?"
"You should be praying that nothing happens to them."
Ye Zichen's tone was calm, and he spoke in a completely ordinary tone. However, from his deep, pitch-black eyes, one could sense a frightening killing intent.
This kind of killing intent was even more frightening than when Ye Zichen was angry.
Gu Li couldn't help but arch his brows. Then, he heard Ye Zichen speak.
"Don't provoke me again, got it?"
After warning Gu Li, Ye Zichen's gaze swept past the crowd of immortals.
"Hurry up and start voting. Don't waste my time here."
"Emperor Ye, you really are tyrannical," Gu Li smiled playfully. Gu Li smiled playfully. Ye Zichen suddenly turned his head and looked at him in disdain, "Since you already voted, then f * ck off. This isn't a place for you."
He raised his right hand, and a beam of purple light struck Gu Li.
The multicolored light appeared so suddenly that Gu Li didn't even have time to dodge. After taking this attack head-on, his feet dragged on the ground as he retreated rapidly. The momentum just happened to disappear when he fell off the stairs.
Bang.
Gu Li fell to the ground.
The surrounding immortals instinctively made way for him. Gu Li sat on the ground, his eyes flashing with sinister light.
He squinted his eyes and looked up at Ye Zichen, only to see that Ye Zichen didn't even look him in the eye.
"Ye Zichen."
He looked at Ye Zichen coldly, then retracted his gaze, revealing his pearly white teeth.
"Not bad. Now you deserve to be my opponent."
Gu Zichen hadn't expected Ye Zichen to act like this. His lips curled into a smile, but his smile faded.
"There are no rules for voting. You only need to vote for the person you think is the most suitable to be the Master of the Three Realms. The candidates can only be these people here. The voting order will be from last to first. Let's begin."
"Wait a moment." At that moment, one of the immortals suddenly spoke up. "Most of the people here are from the Heavenly Court. Doesn't that mean the North Pole Emperor has the upper hand in the voting?"
Quite a few immortals nodded. Although the Three Realms were one big family, under certain circumstances, they still had to stand on opposing sides.
For example, right now.
Every immortal wanted their leader to take the throne. Forty percent of the people from the Heavenly Court had come to participate in the Struggle for Supremacy. This was clearly unfair to the others.
"You're talking to me about fairness, aren't you?"
The corners of Gu Zichen's lips curled up, but his smile abruptly vanished.
"Most of the Heavenly Court's immortals are here. That can only mean that their overall strength is greater than yours. That also means that their First Seat's leadership and influence are greater than yours. The Master of the Three Realms has to choose someone with enough influence to assume the role. That's why your argument about fairness isn't valid. Rather than saying that the Heavenly Court has too many people, why not say that you're too weak? "
"Then what about the fact that the Great Emperor of the Underworld isn't here?" asked one of the Underworld's immortals.
"Didn't you hear what I said just now? I've already made it clear that I can only choose from among the people here. The Underworld's Great Sage Equaling Heaven isn't here, so he naturally isn't counted. "
With that, he looked at the Underworld's immortal and said, "Don't mention anything unfair to me about the Underworld.
"Don't talk to me about the unfairness of the Underworld. Since he chose not to come, it means that he has no desire to fight for hegemony. For someone who doesn't want to fight for hegemony, you forced him into that position. It's a form of torture for him. Even without him, there are still many people from the Underworld present. Please vote for someone you think can replace Great Sage Equaling Heaven. "
"But ….."
"There are no buts," Gu Zichen seemed to lose his patience. He frowned and said, "Don't give me any more fake logic. If there's someone here you want to vote for, then vote. If there isn't, then forfeit your vote. I don't want to waste any more time talking to you. If anyone dares say anything more useless to me, I don't mind cutting off your path to immortality. "
Cutting off your path to immortality?
His words stunned all the immortals present.
So long as they set foot on this path, no one would give up on it. After a brief moment of hesitation, the immortals slowly walked up to the ballot box and cast their precious votes for the person they believed to be the Master of the Three Realms.
Time ticked by, and in less than an hour, the immortals' vote was over.
Practically every immortal's gaze was fixed on the ballot box, especially the North Pole Emperor and the others. It could be said that they had a fairly good chance of becoming the Master of the Three Realms.
As for whether or not they'd voted for him, there was no way of knowing.
But thinking about it, there should be, but even so, no one would stand on the moral high ground to criticize him.
This was an election to become the Master of the Three Realms. This position was incredibly tempting to anyone.
Noble character and unquestionable integrity? To hell with it!
"Everyone, your voting is over. It seems it's time for me to announce the results."
Gu Zichen hooked his finger at the ballot box. It flew through the air and landed directly in front of him.
The ballot box glowed with a fluorescent light. Before long, it disappeared from everyone's line of sight.
