Yang Dingtian becoming the Speaker? What kind of joke was this?
He came to Little Western Paradise for two reasons. First, to find Yaorao and her son. Second, for the Space-Splitting Fire.
Next, he had to lead the Tiandō League army and prepare for the arrival of the World Destroying Army. How would he have the time to be the Speaker in Little Western Paradise?
Yao Qi could be the Speaker, but Yang Dingtian couldn't.
Yao Qi could get rid of Demon Wrath II's control and could even imprison her biggest political backer, Yongshe.
If Yang Dingtian had truly lost his mind due to greed and became the chairman, he would be nothing more than a puppet.
In this regard, Yang Dingtian was more realistic than Yao Qi.
He had to fight for any position on his own. It definitely couldn't be someone else's charity.
Yang Dingtian was from the Silent Tribe. It was natural for him to become a Great Sage.
If he really wanted to become the chairman, this transcendent identity would disappear completely amidst the countless conflicts of interest.
But reject directly?
It was also impossible, if he directly refused, then it would mean that the previous investment of Shadow Spear Clan's Demon's Wrath II would all go down the drain, and he would certainly fly into a rage out of humiliation. At that time, even if he wanted to successfully escape, it would be very difficult, after all, he had to take Yaorao and her son with him.
Yang Dingtian: "Leader Demon Wrath, after the Speaker's death, won't there be another election?"
Demon Wrath said, "No, there can only be one election every 100 years.
If the chairman were to die in an accident during his term of office, the nine tribes would elect an acting chairman.
This happened once before. In the end, the former Speaker acted as the acting Speaker for the remaining 30 years. "
Yang Dingtian: "So, the Great Sage Yongshe has a high chance of getting this position."
Demon Wrath said, "His life is in our hands now.
He hasn't appeared in public. We can kill him anytime. Also, we have a substitute for Yongshe.
You're also a Great Sage. You have a huge reputation among the High Nobles. You can totally be the acting Speaker. "
Yang Dingtian: "But I'm only from the Silent Tribe.
You can become a Great Sage, but once you become a Chairman, your Transcendent status will disappear. "
Yong She's expression changed as he said, "Sir Jiang Shang, you might not know how much I've invested in Yao Qi.
Now that he's dead, don't tell me that all my previous investments have gone to waste?
Can I tell you this? Let Yongshe take the throne?
That's impossible. That would be forcing me to turn hostile. You should know that the current Saintess and the only Demigod descendant are my daughter and grandson. "
Then, Yong She said resolutely, "If you want my support, you have to be the chairman."
Yang Dingtian immediately fell silent. It was very obvious that the Demon Fury II in front of him absolutely could not be persuaded with words. It could only be a naked benefit.
Suddenly, another idea popped up in Yang Dingtian's mind. It could even be said that his imagination was running wild.
"Sir Yao Nu, I have an idea."
Yang Dingtian said, "Still let Master Yongshe be the acting speaker, but let your daughter Jiya be his assistant speaker. In a few decades, let Jiya become the Grand Inquisitor, and in a hundred or two hundred years, let Jiya run for the new speaker."
The Demon Fury II suddenly stopped breathing.
This, this was an even more direct stimulus to his own interests.
Although it would take a hundred or even two hundred years for Jiya to become the speaker.
But for the Demon Fox Clan, a hundred or two hundred years was not a very long time.
Although Jiya's political talent was far inferior to Yao Qi's, she was still better than most people, even compared to the previous speakers.
Moreover, she was now the wife of the Great Sage Jiang Shang. She was no longer the princess of the Shadow Spear Clan. She could totally run for the election.
If she could get Yongshe's approval, coupled with the fact that she was the sister of the Saintess, the support of the Shadow Spear Clan, and the support of the Great Sage Jiang Shang, it was quite possible for her to become the speaker after a hundred years.
After all, Little Western Paradise had already had two speakers. It would not be strange for a third one to appear.
Yang Dingtian continued, "Chief Yao Nu, if you want Jiya to run for the new speaker after a hundred years, then the Little Western Paradise's policy may still be on the path of Master Yongshe. Art and culture, not power and force.
After all, as a woman, Jiya's natural disposition in expansion and martial arts is not enough. "
Yao Nu II thought about it and nodded instinctively.
Then he said, "Jiya is a councilor. If Yongshe agrees to let Jiya be his only assistant, then I can consider supporting Yongshe as the acting speaker."
Yang Dingtian said, "Okay, I'll talk to Master Yongshe."
…
Before talking to Yongshe, Yang Dingtian found Jiya.
Yao Qi's death was a huge blow to Jiya!
Yao Qi was her idol. She was her political sustenance, as well as the hope of the Demon Fox Clan.
Furthermore, he was her ideal husband.
For Yao Qi's cause, she even sacrificed her chastity. From Yao Qi's second wife, she became Jiang Shang's wife.
Of course, she personally caused her husband, Jiang Shang, to be paralyzed and disabled. (Of course, Yang Dingtian was faking it.)
Jiya had made such a huge sacrifice. With Yao Qi's death, all her sacrifices were in vain.
So, at this moment, she was completely disheartened.
When Yang Dingtian saw her again, her perfect image was gone.
His clothes were also wrinkled.
Her cloud-like hair was a bit messy.
Even her beautiful face had become thinner.
Her gem-like eyes also seemed a little dim. Her lips were cracked and had lost their alluring luster.
When she saw Yang Dingtian come in, she didn't react at all.
Even when she saw Yang Dingtian walk in with his legs intact, she wasn't surprised. After all, he had always pretended to be paralyzed.
Right now, she was standing in front of Yao Qi's portrait in a daze.
"Go out. I want to be alone," Jiya said.
Jiya said, "Our marriage was fake in the first place. You and I hated each other. Now that Yao Qi is dead, you and I can be free."
Yang Dingtian said, "I just talked to your father. He said that the condition for supporting Yong She's acting speaker is for you to be the speaker's assistant. After a few decades, you can save the Great Judge. After a hundred years, you can run for speaker."
Jiya shook her head and said, "As the daughter of the Shadow Spear Clan Leader, I have no right to run for speaker."
"You're no longer the princess of the Shadow Spear Clan. You're the wife of the Great Sage Jiang Shang," Yang Dingtian said.
Suddenly, there was some fluctuation in Jiya's eyes.
She was a person with strong political ambitions. However, she had placed all her ambitions on Yao Qi.
Now that Yao Qi was dead, she had lost all her goals.
Now, Yang Dingtian had given her an even bigger goal. As the speaker, she would become the third speaker in the history of Little Western Paradise.
Yang Dingtian said, "However, as a woman, your image goes against martial arts. So, you can only walk the path of peace, art, and culture. This is in line with Yong She's formation."
Jiya sneered sarcastically, "So, you want the Fox Clan to continue living in a drunken stupor and walk towards destruction in the end, right?"
Yang Dingtian said, "Perhaps you'll have to consider your wisdom and Yong She's wisdom."
Jiya continued to look at Yao Qi's portrait on the wall and said, "I'll give it a try. My chances of running for speaker in a hundred years are very slim. At that time, it'll be even more unstable than when Yao Qi takes the position.
Moreover, I want to completely cut off my relationship with the Shadow Spear Clan. My identity as your wife must be extremely prominent.
If necessary, I'll even suppress the interests of the Shadow Spear Clan to show my isolation. "
Yang Dingtian smiled but didn't want to discuss politics with her. He said directly, "Alright, then I'll go and talk to Yong She."
…
When he saw Yong She again, he was sitting in a wheelchair.
"Yao Ru II can support you as the acting speaker, but he wants his daughter Jiya to be your only assistant speaker. After a few decades, she'll take up the position of Great Judge. After a hundred years, or two hundred years, she'll run for speaker," Yang Dingtian said.
Yong She nodded and said, "Alright, I'll do it!"
Yang Dingtian said worriedly, "Yong She, I'm worried about Jiya. She's very ambitious and has the same ideals as Yao Qi.
When she becomes speaker in the future, will she walk the same path as Yao Qi? "
Yong She said, "She's very smart and has great political talent.
However, she's not Yao Qi. Instead of saying that she has the same ideals as Yao Qi and has the same strategy, it's better to say that she's just following Yao Qi.
Now that Yao Qi is dead, I have enough time to change her mind. She … isn't Yao Qi after all. "
Yang Dingtian said, "Now that you've formed an alliance with Yao Ru II, you can control at least five clans. Including Yindu, the only ones left are the original four clans of the Righteous Alliance. Although two of them left the Righteous Alliance, they're still following Yao Ru of the Silver Moon Clan."
Yong She said, "Of the four clans of the Righteous Alliance, two of them aren't a problem because Yao Li betrayed the Silver Moon Clan.
So, only the Silver Moon Clan and their absolute ally, the Oceanic Clan are left.
So, the next target to persuade is Yao Li's clan leader! "
Persuading Yao Li was very difficult.
In the past, Yao Li had been against Yong She's strategy. He'd always admired the Fox Clan's dream of ruling the world.
So, he'd let go of his son and declared his loyalty to Yao Qi.
Now, not long after he'd pledged his loyalty, Yao Qi was already dead.
And Little Western Paradise's direction had turned to art and culture. Obviously, he'd go into a frenzied state of hostility again.
Plus, his willpower was extremely firm. It was very difficult to persuade him.
"I'll try," Yang Dingtian said.
Yong She said, "It's very dangerous for you to go.
He might even think that you're the one who killed Yao Qi. Maybe he'll kill you. "
Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, "He won't. Because the Silver Dragon Blood Crystal on me came from Yao Li, his proudest son."
Plus, he could only persuade Yao Li. He couldn't use force to persuade him.
That was because Yao Qi had already started a great battle and she had won.
But the victory wasn't a victory in battle. It was Yao Li's clan leader's surrender.
It was impossible to start another war now. The several great clans of the Western Paradise were filled with laziness and disgust when it came to war.
If they really fought, they might not be the Righteous Alliance's match.
…
Two days later, Yang Dingtian entered the Silver Moon Clan and met Yao Li.
He took out Jiya's Reflection Jade. It recorded the entire process of Yao Qi's death and his last words.
After reading it, Yao Li was shocked.
It was as if Yao Li had been struck by lightning. He stared at the Reflection Jade in disbelief.
How could it be?
How could it be?
He'd just made up his mind to surrender to Yao Qi and work with him to rule the Chaotic World. How could Yao Qi die just like that?
How, how could it be?
Then, he seemed to have lost all his strength. He stumbled and took a few steps back. He sat on the chair and took in deep breaths.
He had experienced this kind of thunderbolt from the blue twice.
The first time was when he heard that his son Yao Li had died in Yao Qi's hands.
The second time was now when he heard about Yao Qi's death.
The enemy who killed his son was dead. The impact was no less than the first time.
He even felt that his dream of ruling the Fox Clan was about to be destroyed. He'd lost all hope.
"It's you?
It's you … "Suddenly, Yao Li stood up and pointed at Yang Dingtian." I know who you are. You're not Jiang Shang from the Speechless Clan. You're Yang Dingtian, the human.
It was you and Yong She who conspired to kill Chairman Yao Qi and destroy the hope of the Demonic Foxes. "
Then, Yao Li's face was cold. "Now, you dare to come and try to persuade me to support Yong She? Dream on!
I won't kill you, but I'll tell you who you are and how you and Yong She killed Chairman Yao Qi.
Then, I'll execute you in public during the Great Trial Conference! "
Then, he waved his hand and was about to order Yang Dingtian to be arrested and sent to the Great Trial Conference of the Nine Clans with Yong She.
He had to make the punishment clear and seek justice for Yao Qi.
This person was hard to persuade. Unless he had the same goal, it was impossible to change his mind.
Yang Dingtian let out a deep sigh and said, "Yao Li Clan Head, your son, Yao Li, chose to give up on reincarnation before he died. He handed the Silver Dragon Blood Crystal to me. Therefore, I am able to transform into the appearance of the Silent Race."
"What?" Yao Li was shocked and looked at Yang Dingtian in disbelief.
Afterward, he quickly grabbed Yang Dingtian's arm, and a surge of energy surged into his body to identify the silver dragon energy in his body.
Yang Dingtian completely released his energy sea and let the Silver Dragon Blood Crystal's energy fill his Xuan Meridians, allowing Yao Li to identify it.
That's right. It was Yao Li's Silver Dragon Blood Crystal.
That's right. It was that special energy.
Yao Li's heart was in a mess.
To the Fox Clan, the body wasn't the core, nor was the soul. The Silver Dragon Blood Crystal was the core.
That was because the Little Western Paradise's totem was the source of the Fallen Silver Dragon's power.
"Fine, fine, fine …" After a long time, Yao Li looked like he had aged countless years. Tears flowed down his face.
"Do whatever you want … I can't stop you, but don't expect me to agree to obey you.
My … My Silver Moon Clan will withdraw from the Nine Clans and become independent of the Great Trial Conference. I'll close my door and continue my martial arts dream … Go, go, I don't want to see you anymore! "
A few hours later, Yang Dingtian left. The Little Western Paradise's situation was settled!
