Chapter 1203: Chapter 616: The So-Called Devotee Fervor (Part 2) Some people’s hearts trembled slightly, realizing that there might be a good show to watch, and they concentrated intently. Anduin and the others also looked at the Dusk Hermit with surprise. Was he going to stand and die? “First point,” Anatoli said in a deep voice, “Recently, Lord Azure Dragon was attacked by the joint forces of the Three Great Civilizations. As the Vice Chairman of the High-level Life Form Union, we should have gone to help.” “But some people, for their own selfish interests, forcibly dragged us elsewhere, hesitant and indecisive.” “So, for the development of the organization, I believe Gusta is no longer qualified to continue in the position of Chairman of the Council!” Everyone was momentarily confused, then astonished. Anatoli rebelled? Not just a simple rebellion, but a stab in the back. “At the same time, I nominate Lord Azure Dragon to replace Gusta as the Chairman,” Anatoli said passionately, without looking at either Gusta or Azure Dragon throughout the process. Only at the end did he look at Azure Dragon, “I know this news is sudden, but please, do not refuse.” Sener chuckled softly, Anduin had a face full of disdain. Gusta couldn’t control his expression, knowing he might be liquidated by Azure Dragon, and this chairman position would probably be lost. But he didn’t expect Anatoli to be the one leading the charge. His gaze was cold and determined. Are you so scared? It’s easy to talk when you’re not in the situation, Anatoli thought coldly to himself. Gusta, this bastard, retreated quickly, while Anatoli couldn’t just disappear. His evolution system was unique, depending on the oral transmission among many life forms. If he were to disappear, he might degenerate to below level A in a few hundred years. So he had to face Azure Dragon head-on. His only way to protect himself was to take the lead in the charge. Li Ming was also quite surprised and watched silently. The representatives of the Three Great Civilizations looked on coldly. The chairman position, under normal circumstances, should be designated by the Three Great Civilizations and the interstellar alliance. But now no one jumped up to stop it. Everyone knew this was unstoppable, the trend of the times. It also represented that the High-level Life Form Union had already detached itself from the influence of the Three Great Civilizations. Once everyone digested this almost completely, Anatoli began the voting. Li Ming was too lazy to pretend, didn’t even cast a dissenting vote, and sat silently. Gusta did cast an approval vote, and all the others were in agreement, with no dissenting opinions. Even in the Council Seat, the members from the Three Great Civilizations cast abstentions. After all, the captives were still in Azure Dragon’s hands, so they didn’t dare to jump out and make trouble. “A rare type of voting, proving that Lord Azure Dragon is the choice of the people. Please, do not refuse,” Anatoli exclaimed loudly. Gusta had already stood up, while Li Ming used ordinary projection equipment to connect to the chairman link, replacing Gusta’s position. “Let us all congratulate the new Chairman, Lord Azure Dragon,” Anatoli’s voice was high-pitched, leading the applause, which then erupted. A moment later, Anatoli pressed his hands down like he was calming the air, and once things quieted, he sighed, “I know forcing you to become chairman, you might be unwilling.” “But the development of the organization cannot do without your oversight, so I have another proposal.” Everyone watched as he raised a finger, inwardly critiquing, this is the Dusk Hermit? Where’s your elegance, your mystery? This isn’t turning into a lackey. Reynolds, who had been watching the show, couldn’t help but spit and discuss something quietly with Mikhail. Li Ming couldn’t help but slightly turn his head to look, also curious. If Anatoli’s nomination of him as chairman was within expectations. The following proposal, he couldn’t predict what it would be. “Veto power,” he uttered a few words, “I propose the chairman should have veto power.” As his words fell, the entire venue fell silent, and Gusta, who had just changed seats, twitched his cheek heavily. Anduin’s disdain turned into admiration. This was really something. Others couldn’t help but feel amazed. Veto power would greatly enhance Azure Dragon’s authority, an invisible force. To be honest, many subconsciously resisted; they could all see what this would bring. Actually, given Azure Dragon’s current might, under normal circumstances, what he disapproved of would be difficult for others to achieve. But “difficult” didn’t mean there was no hope, and now, the veto power wiped out that hope too. They wanted Azure Dragon in front but didn’t want him to arbitrarily affect their interests. But if someone actually led the opposition, no one dared. Google seaʀᴄh 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩 It had only been less than two months since the battle in the Chaotic Star Gap ended, and Kashmir’s Spear was still in Azure Dragon’s hands; who truly dared to oppose? “Let’s vote, everyone.” Anatoli glanced around, the first to agree. One by one, approval votes were raised in succession, the faces of the Three Great Civilizations’ representatives turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and in the supervision seats, representatives of various civilizations whispered among themselves. “Again passed unanimously, truly the choice of the people,” Anatoli praised again before slowly sitting down, muttering softly, “I hope you don’t blame me for being presumptuous.” Li Ming remained silent for a while before finally responding, “In the past, we didn’t interact much; I hope we can engage more in the future.” “Of course,” Anatoli’s heart skipped a beat and relaxed, this hurdle was considered over. “Thank you all for your support,” Li Ming began to speak, without mentioning the Chaotic Star Gap situation, only sighing, “Some things Lord Anatoli said earlier, I agree with very much.” “Since everyone supports me to become the chairman, I also hope the organization develops better and have a few proposals.” There was complete silence. “First, I propose that the supervision seat can be removed,” Li Ming said lightly, “The High-level Life Form Union answers only to the interstellar, not to any civilization.” After a brief silence, the supervision seat was in an uproar, the representatives of the Three Great Civilizations remained expressionless yet unsurprised. Many people’s eyes lit up and immediately wanted to raise their hands; many didn’t enjoy the presence of the supervision bureau, feeling like they were chained. And it was indeed Azure Dragon, cutting into the supervision seat as soon as he arrived. The voting process was simple and casual, naturally passing unanimously. Even those from the Three Great Civilizations voted in favor, making the supervision seat representatives aware of certain things, and the noise gradually subsided. “Since it’s passed unanimously, there will be no positions for the supervision seat representatives in the next joint meeting, I hope you all understand,” Li Ming said to the supervision seat, then continued: “Of course, today you are still needed to witness the last thing.” He solemnly said, “I propose to dissolve the internal supervision council of the Mechanic Association.” Everyone was unexpectedly startled, their expressions inexplicable, thinking this seemed outside their sphere of influence. Some were surprised, thinking Reynolds and Mikhail were here because Azure Dragon wanted them to join the High-level Life Form Union. The supervision seat representatives were even more confused, as someone with determination stood up nervously and said, “Lord Azure Dragon, I have no opinions on you, just that this matter doesn’t seem to be something the High-level Life Form Union can decide.” “What do you think?” Li Ming did not answer but looked toward the Three Great Civilizations’ representatives. The representative sitting in the center for the Federation said coldly, “Theoretically, no, but Azure Dragon, after all, is the Divine Craftsman within the Mechanic Association, with certain administrative authority.” Everyone was suddenly enlightened, realizing a deal had been struck. Since the Three Great Civilizations had no opinions, the person who spoke earlier continuously explained their words were just a pure enquiry without any other intention, before sitting down anxiously, unable to calm down. “Look at these people, think about how they were before, truly laughable,” Reynolds sneered, having witnessed the whole event. Mikhail looked at Azure Dragon, his mind inevitably recalling the scene when the Mechanic Association was shackled, his helplessness, Reynolds’ resentment. In just a few years, the situation had changed dramatically.
