Chapter 329: The Decision of the Seven Stars Clan

"A public vote?"

The Seventh Prince was momentarily stunned, his mind racing with various thoughts as he struggled to comprehend Qi Yuan's words.

Seeing the confusion on the prince's and Gong Yi Cai's faces, Qi Yuan proceeded to explain.

"It's about letting the people... decide their fate through a vote.

At that time, I'll have my robot, Zero-One, gather all the information about their lives.

Every evil deed and every act of kindness will be listed.

Then... I'll provide options, letting the people decide whether they should die, face imprisonment, or... be acquitted."

Qi Yuan patiently elaborated.

He had never met those people, so he couldn't say he hated them, nor did he have any particular feelings towards them.

So... let the people's vote decide.

Anyway... it's quite interesting, isn't it?

"This..." The Seventh Prince hesitated, never expecting such a referendum.

He had assumed that the members of the Seven Stars Clan would be the ones voting.

This kind of referendum was unheard of and unseen.

Noticing his hesitation, Qi Yuan couldn't help but say, "Is it that the citizens of Qin Yuan Kingdom don't have the right to vote?

But I clearly remember that everyone has the right to vote.

Are you saying this is just empty talk?"

Qi Yuan's voice rose involuntarily.

The Seventh Prince's heart tightened, and he quickly replied, "Yes, they absolutely have the right to vote!"

Although it was indeed as Qi Yuan said, it was just empty talk.

But at this moment, Mr. Qi mentioned it, so how could it be just talk?

They would definitely vote.

However, the impact of this matter was too significant.

A nationwide vote, with everyone acting as judges, involved too many unpredictable factors.

"Since it's possible, why are you hesitating? Are you saying... you can't find university students to create a voting website? Or is the website, outsourced in layers, too chaotic, and might crash if too many people vote?"

The Seventh Prince was bewildered, but he immediately assured, "Our royal family will fully support this and serve Mr. Qi!"

"Don't serve me; I don't need servants. Serve the people," Qi Yuan stretched lazily.

The Seventh Prince nodded hastily.

Although, with his authority, he couldn't promise on behalf of the royal family.

Such a referendum also required the approval of all the families in the Seven Stars Clan.

But at this moment, the Seventh Prince didn't dare refuse; he could only agree directly.

As for whether the Seven Stars Clan would agree... there was no need to think about it.

Where would they find the courage to disagree?

Otherwise, what might await them... could also be a referendum.

At this time, Qi Yuan turned his gaze to Gong Yi Cai, "Long time no see, old man. You seem younger."

Gong Yi Cai was taken aback and immediately lowered his head, "This old man has met Mr. Qi?"

His posture was very humble.

It was completely different from when they were at Lost Mountain.

"Hmm, ten years later, it's not that long. My corpse has seen you," Qi Yuan said casually, "At that time, you were leading several young people from your family. I remember one of them, Gong Yi Qing, had a pretty good attitude.

But there was also one whose body was emptied by wine and lust, I think his name was Gong Yi Lang. He looked down on people with his nose in the air, so arrogant that he almost committed the sin of humiliating a corpse."

Back then, when Qi Yuan transformed into a corpse, Gong Yi Qing had shown him respect.

That Gong Yi Lang, on the other hand, spoke nonsense and filthy words.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yi Cai's face turned pale, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

He understood; Qi Yuan was a Reincarnator.

It seemed that this Reincarnator had died, and ten years later, the Gong Yi family sent them to meet Qi Yuan's corpse.

But when he heard that someone from the Gong Yi family had been disrespectful to Qi Yuan, his face looked even more miserable than if he were crying.

"Husband, does the concubine need to blow a breath at the Gong Yi family?" Ning Tou asked with concern.

Gong Yi Cai immediately knelt on the ground, his expression tense, "Mr. Qi, spare me!"

He had seen that the woman beside Mr. Qi could blow a breath that almost caused the Sky Eye to collapse.

If she blew a breath at the Gong Yi family, would anyone survive?

Gong Yi Cai was naturally terrified and begged for mercy.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan said to Ning Tou, "Am I some kind of demon, always fighting and killing? It's just a minor matter, not worth mentioning. If I hadn't seen Gong Yi Cai, I probably would've forgotten about it."

Hearing this, Gong Yi Cai finally breathed a sigh of relief, the burden in his heart lifted.

As long as she didn't blow a breath at the Gong Yi family, that was enough.

At this moment, he hated Gong Yi Lang, that little brat.

This second-generation heir was so bold as to dare to mock Mr. Qi.

"Thank you, Mr. Qi, for sparing my life."

At this moment, he also felt a newfound respect for Gong Yi Qing.

This Gong Yi Qing wasn't from the main branch, yet he was very ambitious.

Recently, someone in the clan had proposed supporting Gong Yi Qing, but this proposal was rejected.

Now that Mr. Qi had mentioned Gong Yi Qing, that rejection was naturally nullified.

The Gong Yi family would not only support Gong Yi Qing but also make him the true leader of the Gong Yi family's younger generation!

"You guys can take care of the cleanup here; I'm too lazy to give them a burial or hold a feast.

Since we're in the capital and have some time, I'm going to have some fun for a couple of days.

Qi Yuan spoke casually as he embraced Ning Tuo, and his figure vanished from sight.

Inside the room, only the Seventh Prince, Gong Yi Cai, and the scattered corpses remained.

The Seventh Prince extended his palm, which was drenched in sweat, indicating his intense anxiety from the recent events.

But at this moment, his heart was filled with excitement and agitation.

He turned to Gong Yi Cai and slowly said, "This time, the matter of the public vote will be handled by me and... Gong Yi Qing, right?"

Although he didn't know who Gong Yi Qing was, since Qi Yuan had mentioned her, she must be important.

"Yes!" Gong Yi Cai quickly nodded in agreement.

According to the rules, these matters required the approval of the clan leader.

But in this special situation, the clan leader's opinion didn't matter.

Mr. Qi was the true king, the ruler who dominated the heavens!

Meanwhile, the entire capital was in chaos, like a boiling pot of soup.

Especially within the Seven Stars Clan, their high-ranking members were the first to discover the fall of the Mu Clan's thirteen Celestial Eye Fortresses.

This event was earth-shattering, striking fear into the hearts of all the Seven Stars Clan members.

The Celestial Eye Fortresses were the very foundation of the Seven Stars Clan's existence.

For the Celestial Eye Fortresses to be conquered was more terrifying than a global nuclear war.

Thus, countless personnel, vehicles, and information rushed towards the Mu Clan, seeking to understand what had transpired.

But the conclusions they reached were even more shocking and incomprehensible.

It turned out to be a single human who, with a single move, had destroyed thirteen Celestial Eye Fortresses.

This... was simply unbelievable.

The Celestial Eye Fortresses were known as the existence capable of slaughtering even gods.

Yet... a human woman had effortlessly dealt with them.

Three kilometers underground, in a grand hall, the leaders of the Seven Stars Clan gathered, their faces grim.

"The annihilation of the Gui Ran Military Camp and the slaughter of three thousand soldiers with a single sword were already awe-inspiring.

But now... his partner... is a hundred, a thousand times more terrifying, as she obliterated thirteen Celestial Eye Fortresses with a single palm!" Gong Yi's elder trembled as he spoke.

The other leaders of the Seven Stars Clan present nodded seriously upon hearing this, "Even the gods of myth and legend... are probably no match for her, right?"

There were a total of twenty-one families within the Seven Stars Clan.

At this moment, these twenty elders had gathered to discuss the day's events.

"If that woman wanted to, I fear... our Celestial Eye Fortresses would also be destroyed in an instant," said the elder of the Fang Family, his body frail and aged.

The Fang Family was one of the top three families within the Seven Stars Clan.

Their status was even higher than that of the Mu Clan.

Even so, the elder of the Fang Family understood that their higher status meant nothing to Mr. Qi.

"This person... is too terrifying.

His partner... is also... simply inhuman!"

"Sigh, when facing the unknown, we should maintain respect.

The Mu Clan, with its thousand years of accumulation, has been accustomed to bullying and oppressing others, never considering the rest of the world. Now that they've stumbled, there's no recovery.

Sigh, a thousand-year-old clan... doesn't even have the qualifications to become someone else's servant, it's truly... laughable."

After speaking, the old man seemed to lose interest.

Indeed, the power and status they cherished in the mortal world seemed insignificant in the eyes of those above.

"After testing, the methods employed by Ning Tuo are of an immeasurable energy level," said an elder.

As soon as Ning Tuo destroyed the thirteen Celestial Eye Fortresses, over a thousand warships immediately flew into space to investigate and research.

"Although we can't measure it, the destruction of our Celestial Eye Fortresses... happened in the blink of an eye.

Through our simulations, we've concluded that such an attack... is enough to erase the Gui Ran Kingdom from the map.

Note that this is an erasure, not a massacre of the people on the surface, but rather, in this world, the Gui Ran Kingdom would cease to exist.

Most importantly, we don't know if this is her limit."

In the world of 169, in a book, a bar, a glance, without a single mistake!

Upon hearing this, the people present were all shocked, even those with power and refinement were deeply moved.

The Celestial Eye Fortresses were indeed powerful, but to wipe out the entire population of the Gui Ran Kingdom would require the simultaneous activation of several Celestial Eye Fortresses.

Moreover, this would only eliminate humans, not other living beings.

Yet, a single strike from that woman was enough to completely erase the Gui Ran Kingdom from the map.

What did this imply?

"Therefore... fellow elders, we shouldn't consider voting, persuasion, or alliances.

We simply cannot fathom the level of this being.

Perhaps our proud technology and cultural heritage are no match for a single moment of their slumber." The elder of the Fang Family spoke, perhaps due to tension, his voice carried a deep sense of helplessness.

If immortals still left traces for us to study, Ning Tuo's display was beyond comprehension.

Could human power... destroy an entire continent?

How many high-yield bombs would that require?

"So, I propose we don't discuss this further here.

No amount of discussion is useful.

For Mr. Qi, for that mysterious woman, we only need to maintain a sense of awe for the unknown.

At the same time, a strict order is given to the family members: no more trouble outside.

Anyone who causes trouble will face expulsion from the family at the very least, and at worst... the death penalty!"

Elder Fang's tone was resolute, his words carrying weight.

"I second that, I don't want our family to be put to a public vote!"

"If Mr. Qi puts us to a vote, I'm afraid we won't have any means to resist."

"Sigh, sometimes... it's not bad to leave a name in history."

The old patriarchs all agreed.

Although Mr. Qi hadn't said a word, they also understood what to do and what not to do.

As for Mr. Qi, they dared not investigate his privacy like the Marquis of Blue Sea, but instead, they looked into his publicly available information.

This publicly available information also revealed a glimpse of Mr. Qi's personality.

Hmm... a psychiatric certificate, somewhat hard to grasp.

But overall... he's someone who repays kindness with kindness and vengeance with vengeance, a "law-abiding and respectful" person.

Since he is like this, they will just play along with him.

"Tomorrow, I will personally go to visit Mr. Qi. Who will come with me?" Elder Fang spoke up, then added, "This old man will go in person."

For people of their status, having a clone body is as simple as it gets.

Clone bodies are usually dormant and only replace them in special situations.

"I'll also go in person."

"I'll go in person too!"

At this moment, these old guys also realized that Mr. Qi was someone they absolutely couldn't offend.

Sending a clone body would be disrespectful to Mr. Qi.

...

On the streets of the capital, Mr. Qi was hugging Ning Tao... oh, no, more precisely, the Canary walked down the street.

At this moment, Mr. Qi held a brick in his hand, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.

"I've always heard that in the capital, if you randomly throw a brick, you can hit a bureau chief. I wonder if it's true or not?"

Rarely coming to the capital, he was eager to test it out.

The Canary tilted her head, showing a contemplative look. "Xuezizi, I think it's difficult. There's no one around us."

"Then let fate decide."

Mr. Qi held the brick and threw it into the air.

This time, he didn't use much force, and the brick only rose a few tens of thousands of meters.

Moreover, he deliberately used a spell to ensure it wouldn't hurt anyone.

Even if this brick fell and hit someone, it wouldn't hurt them in the slightest.

"Let's go and see who it hit." As the brick began to fall rapidly, the Canary was also excited, holding Mr. Qi's arm, wanting to see if it hit a bureau chief.

"Let's go and take a look." Mr. Qi was in a good mood.

In this life, it was rare to have someone accompany him in his mischief.

The two quickly headed towards the direction where the brick was falling.

At this moment, on the streets of the capital, the sun was a bit dazzling.

Many people looked up at the two falling stars in the sky, taking photos and checking in.

Huang Weiming carried a black bag, walking down the street in a daze.

He was from a rural background, and when he went to university, his fellow villagers sent him eggs, sweet potatoes, and other gifts to support his studies.

It's well known that the universities in the Qin Yuan Kingdom are very expensive.

He also worked hard, studying and working part-time, and immediately after graduation, he started working.

One of the projects he invested in was fortunate to develop very quickly.

In just five years, his company's market value reached one billion.

At this time, he also began to give back to his hometown.

But who knew that his "small company" would be noticed by a second-generation aristocrat.

This aristocrat wanted to directly take the fruits of his labor, and without a powerful background, he couldn't do anything about it.

Various departments started making things difficult for him, and even his business partners began to refuse contact with him.

All this was to get him to sign the contract.

After signing, the company would no longer be his, and he would become a worker.

Although the salary was high, he felt frustrated.

Because he had planned to invest in projects in his hometown, he could only put them on hold.

"This is simply shameless! How can they do this?" Huang Weiming felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He wasn't like those inexperienced young people.

He also understood compromise.

After all, such things often happened, and usually involved some loss, followed by mutual gains.

But... that second-generation Mu... was too shameless, he really wanted to strip everything bare, not leaving anything for him?

He didn't even talk about chivalry!

He was so angry that he even wanted to curse the heavens.

He raised his head, his eyes filled with anger.

But in the next breath, the anger in his eyes turned to fear.

He saw a brick-like object falling from the sky, about to hit his head.

"Ah!"

Huang Weiming was so scared that he screamed, unable to react in time.

The brick landed on his head at this moment.

He was stunned.

Because... he wasn't injured at all.

At this moment, a voice came from not far away: "Hey... are you a bureau chief?"
