Chapter 1098: Chapter 1098: Bai Chuwei Passed Unanimously, Powerless Fury
This time, we vote to limit power!
Since the Ancient Times, the Heavenly Dao has always been more like a mascot, with the real power lying with the Creator God.
However, this power is now becoming precarious.
Bai Chuwei leisurely turned around and walked towards her rose throne, gracefully sitting down.
She crossed her long legs, fingers idly caressing the petals, and said calmly, “I think this time, we don’t need to vote anonymously, do we?”
Raise your hand!
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone raised their hands in unison.
Even the little boy named Xiaobao crawled out from under the long table and raised his little hand high.
He didn’t quite understand, simply thinking there was no wrong in listening to this sister.
Bai Chuwei looked around, the corners of her lips lifting.
Seventeen people, sixteen raised their hands.
Bai Chuwei smiled, “So, it’s 1 to 16 again?”
Everyone looked towards Edward, who didn’t raise his hand.
An old western Clan Leader looked at the handsome young Edward with a pained expression and shook his head, “Clan Leader Edward, you should learn more about history. Do you know how many people died in O Continent during the Black Death?”
Everyone knew this piece of history, yet no one ever thought about the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao never acted, even though it always knew, standing coldly above, watching ordinary people die, bodies piling on the roads, rotting and attracting flies.
They were cultivators, yet cultivators also originated from ordinary people!
Ha, the Heavenly Dao never does anything proper, but is swift to dismiss Bai Chuwei.
Edward, embarrassed, lowered his head and said, “Um… I didn’t participate in the vote, I abstained.”
Abstaining, he didn’t want to side with Bai Chuwei but also didn’t want to vote for the other side, so he simply abstained.
0:16!
That means sixteen people participated in the vote, and Bai Chuwei was unanimously approved!
A result even more astonishing than the previous vote.
Bai Chuwei looked up at the feather edges of the temple’s eaves, smiling slightly, “Sorry, Heavenly Dao, from today onwards, whether the Supreme Deity Academy meetings are held, is not for you to decide.”
It’s a pity though, the Supreme Deity Academy meetings don’t have the power to remove the Heavenly Dao; otherwise, she would have it deposed today.
Limiting power is just the first step.
Outside the temple, thunder rumbled on and on.
Bai Chuwei clicked her tongue, her tone disdainful, “Incompetent fury?”
But it’s understandable for the ancestors; anyone would go crazy. It was supposed to be a sure win, and not only did they fail to dismiss her, but their own powers were also limited.
Angry enough to lose their heads.
“Wah—so scary.”
Perhaps knowing the meeting was over, the little clan leader named Xiaobao cried as he ran over to Bai Chuwei, suddenly leaping into her arms and choking out, “Sister, hug me.”
The little clan leader, who understood nothing, was brought by his grandfather to vote. Although he voted as per his grandfather’s instructions, they suddenly had to vote a second time, leaving the little boy utterly confused.
Bai Chuwei hugged the soft little child, suddenly smiling as she picked the most vibrant rose from the throne and handed it to him.
Only then did Xiaobao break into a smile, saying in a childish voice, “Pretty flower.”
Bai Chuwei’s lips curved, human children can be quite cute as long as they’re not noisy.
The clan leaders gradually walked out, each looking somewhat dazed. The disciples guarding the doors outside had no idea what had happened and dared not ask.
Bai Chuwei pinched the little clan leader’s soft cheek, glancing sideways at the young man walking out: “After so long without seeing each other, you’re just going to walk away?”
