Lu Li's proposal would offend the interests of many people in power in the Lu Family. If Lu Zhengyang were to carry it out by himself, it would be more difficult than ever.
When a Family Patriarch opposed all the patriarchs, the Family Patriarch might be boycotted or even … be impeached at the Conference of Patriarchs.
The Hall of Patriarchs of any family had a supreme power. With the consent of more than half of the patriarchs, the Family Patriarch could abdicate!
Therefore, usually, the Family Patriarch would not take the risk of offending most of the patriarchs and force the decision.
Someone might have thought of Lu Li's proposal before. But it was too difficult to implement. Therefore, it never happened in history.
With Lu Li's support, Lu Zhengyang didn't have to worry about this.
Lu Li's prestige was so high that it was even higher than that of Patriarch of Law Enforcement.
Also, Lu Li was unreasonable in certain aspects. If someone was not convinced and came to Lu Li, Lu Li would kick that person out and expel him from the Lu Family, if not kill him!
Lu Zhengyang went back and discussed with Patriarch of Law Enforcement. Patriarch of Law Enforcement agreed with Lu Li's idea. Lu Zhengyang called a Conference of Patriarchs at once and proposed the decision.
As expected …
Most of the patriarchs objected to the proposal. Even Great Grandfather Five expressed his disapproval in a subtle way.
Some patriarchs were enraged. They said that if Lu Zhengyang insisted on carrying out the proposal, they would leave the Lu Family.
Lu Zhengyang said nothing. After the patriarchs made some high-sounding arguments, filled with righteous indignation, Lu Zhengyang said casually, "Lu Li is the one who made the suggestion. He said that he has made up his mind. Anyone who is not convinced can go and argue with him.
He also said … he will not hold back anyone who wants to leave the Lu Family! "
"…"
As soon as Lu Zhengyang finished his words, the entire place was silent.
The patriarchs who were filled with righteous indignation just now sat there in embarrassment. They could not utter a word of rebuttal.
Who was Lu Li?
He was the leader of the Heaven Reverse Universe. He fought against more than one hundred Semi-God Realm warriors alone, killed most of them, and went to the Waters Region.
Later on, the Yan Family Patriarch came with a Relic weapon and a Relic armor, but he was smashed to death as well …
Lu Li's prestige had reached the peak. Some even placed him on the same level as Emperor of Heaven Reverse.
He believed that an altar should be set up for Lu Li so that people of the Great Land could worship him day and night.
Lu Li's power and prestige were one thing. Patriarchs of the Lu Family were afraid of Lu Li's character.
Because Lu Li did not grow up in the Lu Family, he was not cared for by the Lu Family.
Furthermore, he had been suppressed and antagonized by the Lu Family. He had relied entirely on himself to get where he was and had little to do with the Lu Family.
He did not have deep feelings for the Lu Family. Apart from Lu Zhengyang, Great Grandfather Five and a few others, it was hard for the others to talk to Lu Li. Lu Li never gave them the chance to meet and bond.
Therefore, if anyone dared to make trouble with Lu Li, they would end up being suppressed by Lu Li by force. There would be no mercy.
If he angered Lu Li, he would kill him without mercy …
Lu Zhengyang had said that Lu Li would not force anyone to quit the Lu Family.
In other words, these elders could either execute this decision or withdraw from the Lu Family!
Withdraw from the Lu family?
Had their brains been kicked by a donkey?
The Lu Family was the most powerful family in the Heaven Reverse Universe. The Lu Family had occupied the most resources.
If they were to abdicate, many powerful warriors would join the Lu Family and fight for their positions …
Therefore, even though many were against it, the decision was carried out smoothly.
Hearing that it was Lu Li's decision, Great Grandfather Five said no more and supported the decision.
Patriarchs of the Lu Family discussed for a day and a night. In the end, they came up with various rules. The rules stated clearly — any disciple of the Lu Family, whether they were from the immediate or the branch, under the age of 30 could become a core disciple. Even … the top talents of the affiliated families could become core disciples of the Lu Family, provided that they changed their surname to Lu!
Core disciples could enjoy the best cultivation resources and could publicize that they were disciples of the Lu Family. They could enjoy all kinds of benefits. In other words, core disciples of the Lu Family would be the most distinguished young masters and young ladies of the Lu Family.
The entire Lu Family was in an uproar when the news spread out, especially among the younger generation.
Many young masters and young ladies of the immediate family gathered together, ready to make a scene.
After all, once the rules were implemented, not only would they lose access to the best cultivation resources of the Lu Family, they could not even tell others that they were disciples of the Lu Family …
The Hall of Patriarchs said that it was Lu Li's decision. The young masters and young ladies of the Lu Family dared not to make a scene.
Lu Zhantian was still waiting for his death in a small town. Who dared to offend Lu Li?
After a few days of chaos, the Lu Family disciples accepted the reality.
The disciples of the branches and branches of the Lu Family were overjoyed. Some elites of the affiliated families were overjoyed as well.
Many of them might be as talented as disciples of the immediate Lu Family. With the best resources, they could soar.
Many disciples of the Lu Family's branches and branches began to cultivate hard, preparing for the comprehensive test in half a month.
The disciples of the immediate Lu Family stopped fooling around because of the pressure. They began to cultivate.
The Lu Family had entered a healthy competition.
If the system could be implemented, the Lu Family would grow stronger and stronger.
In a matter of days, the news of the system reform of the Lu Family reached the ears of the major families. The four families were the first to receive the news.
Jiang Tianshun summoned the patriarchs of the Jiang Family overnight for a discussion. However, he was met with strong resistance.
Similarly, the Family Patriarchs of the Ye Family and the Kong Family wanted to implement the system as well. After all, once the system was implemented, their families would grow stronger.
The system would lay a solid foundation for the family's everlasting glory. The Family Patriarchs of the current generation would be recorded in history.
The system offended many people with vested interests. The resistance was greater than before. Ye Family, Jiang Family, and the Kong Family were in a stalemate.
On the other hand, the system was implemented by some small families after it was disseminated.
The Family Patriarchs of some fourth and fifth rank families had absolute authority. They enforced the system despite the opposition of the patriarchs.
There was also a Family Patriarch of a fifth rank family who was quite domineering. He killed a patriarch and the system was implemented immediately …
The larger the family was, the more factions there would be and the more conflicts of interests would be involved.
On the other hand, the family members would not act rashly. Otherwise, the family would fall apart, which would be disastrous.
Half a month later, the Lu Family Core Disciple Selection began. Lu Zhengyang asked Lu Li to take charge.
Lu Li came with Jiang Qiling, Bai Qiuxue, and Bai Xiashuang. Many young disciples looked at him with admiration.
Amid the passionate cheers of many young disciples and the invitation from patriarchs of the Lu Family, Lu Li had no choice but to go to the arena to say a few words.
Facing the dense crowd, Lu Li's expressions didn't change. He slowly walked onto the ring as if he were taking a stroll in his backyard. He glanced over the crowd and said in a low voice. His voice was heard by all the young disciples, "Many of you will be grateful to me and many will hate me.
What I want to tell you is — we live in hardship and perish in ease. Without a sense of crisis, a family will decline soon.
Without a good competitive mechanism, a family cannot produce more powerful warriors. "
"Only those who can fight their way out of a great number of enemies can lead the Lu Family to greater heights. If you cannot surpass your own disciples, how can you look down on the others and sweep across the world?
Being a disciple of the Lu Family is an honor as well as a shackle. I hope that today, you will be proud of being a disciple of the Lu Family. Tomorrow, the Lu Family will be proud of you. Let me be proud of you! "
