When Ye Mo brought Luo Qinghe and Wang Nanshang into the main hall, there were already nearly a hundred people sitting in the hall. These people were seated in very distinct groups of three, all obviously representing a power or a race. The seating arrangement in the great hall was also in groups of three, one slightly in front and two slightly at the back.
Ye Mo surveyed the hall, which was not only incomparably wide, but even the roof of the hall could not be seen, which Ye Mo knew was because of the formation. In the middle of the hall was a round platform nearly ten feet in circumference, the prohibitions around the platform were not worse than the prohibitions on the Sacred Ranking Square. As soon as he saw this round platform, Ye Mo knew that it was also a dueling stage.
This stage was probably where the two sides would compete if they were not satisfied with their allocations. The edges of the tournament platform all carried a layer of dark red light, there was no telling how many Saint Emperors had died in this platform.
“Dan Saint Ye sit over here.” Xing Hong, who had already arrived at the main hall, saw Ye Mo coming and hurriedly greeted him.
“Brother Xing, you’re here too?” Ye Mo took the two of them, Luo Qinghe and Wang Nanshang, to sit down in the group of seats adjacent to Xing Hong. He noticed that although Xing Hong had come, he was sitting in one of the two seats slightly behind him, so obviously he was not the one leading the group from the Void Market Merchant Building. Of the three people from the Void Market Merchant House who had come, the aura from the Saint Emperor sitting in the front was indeed quite stronger than Xing Hong’s.
Xing Hong smiled, “Of course, I’m here on behalf of the Void Market Merchant House, which is also qualified to compete with the clans for places.”
“Huh, someone from the human race is also participating this time?” Seeing the three Ye Mo enter, someone immediately asked in amazement.
“Three Dao Transformation Saint Emperors came to participate in the Dao Fruit Tower quota distribution conference?”
“What is the meaning of this? Is it just to prove that there is courage, or to show that there is still a human race?”
All sorts of chatter continued. Yet no one came out to find trouble with Ye Mo. It was probably because they saw Xing Hong of the Void Market Merchant Building greeting Ye Mo.
Ye Mo knew Xing Hong’s business. Wang Nanshang knew. However, Luo Qinghe did not know, and he admired Ye Mo even more in his heart. Not to mention the Dao Yuan powerhouse who was waiting for Ye Mo outside, who didn’t know Xing Hong’s big name in the Void City? I didn’t expect to know Ye Mo as well.
Ye Mo, Wang Nanshang and Luo Qinghe didn’t have to sit for long, as dozens of people once again came in one after another in the main hall. Together with the people who were in the hall before, there were already more than one hundred and thirty people in the hall at this time.
According to a group of three, Ye Mo estimated that the races and forces participating in the Dao Fruits Tower quota distribution conference added up to nearly forty to fifty.
The last person to enter the great hall was a brown-clothed saint emperor, who did not look out of place. An ordinary middle-aged man, his aura was even far less than the rest of the Saint Emperors sitting in this hall. However, Ye Mo could tell at a glance that this was a half-step Mixed Yuan powerhouse, and a half-step Mixed Yuan powerhouse with an extremely profound Dao.
This brown-clothed Saint Emperor walked to the seat at the very top of the hall and stopped, then clasped his fist and said, “Welcome immortal friends from all walks of life who have come to the Void City to participate in the Dao Fruits Tower quota distribution conference, many of the Saint Emperors here know me, but of course there are some new Saint Emperors who have not heard of me. Let me introduce myself, I am from the Void City, and my Saint name is Kong Han. Because rather fortunately, the Dao Fruits Tower is located in the Void City. So this time, I and the representative of the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor represent the Dao Fruits Tower. It is fair and equitable to preside over the allocation of places in the Dao Fruits Tower this time.”
As Saint Emperor Empyrean finished speaking, the crowd then realised that at some point there was suddenly another person beside him. This was just an old man dressed in ordinary sackcloth. It looked like his aura was not as good as that of the Empty Vast Saint Emperor.
But some knowledgeable Saint Emperors had already seen that this ordinary sackcloth old man’s cultivation was a bit stronger than that of the Empty Han Saint Emperor. Ye Mo reckoned that this person should be the Tianrui Saint Emperor, which was another half-step Mixed Yuan powerhouse.
Sure enough this suddenly appearing sackclothed old man followed and said, “I am Tianrui, now let the Dao Fruit Tower quota distribution conference begin.”
After saying a few words in a dry voice, the Heavenly Rui Saint Emperor sat on the side and closed his eyes without another word, as if what followed was no longer relevant to him. The main task he had come for was to say those words just now.
The Empyrean Saint Emperor said smilingly, “It is worth mentioning that this time, the Dao Fruits Tower quota distribution conference has more Human and Shadow Clans ……”
Even though Ye Mo’s trio’s entry had already caused a lot of chatter, now that Saint Emperor Empty Han spoke about the Human Race, there were still many gazes sweeping towards Ye Mo’s trio. It was the two Saint Emperors from the Shadow Clan that no one paid too much attention to. I’m afraid this was still because Ye Mo’s three cultivation levels were really too poor, they were all at the cultivation level of a Dao Transformation Saint Emperor.
The Empyrean Saint Emperor continued, “Because many Saint Emperors of the Divine Ranking could not return to the Void City in time to register for the Dao Fruits Tower, and because many other realm clans have not come, there are a total of one hundred and ninety-three extra places for this Dao Fruits Tower ……”
Ye Mo listened to the shock in his heart, he couldn’t imagine that such a precious Dao Fruits Tower quota could be increased by so many at once. No wonder there was a Dao Fruits Tower quota allocation conference, so many quotas must have been allocated in detail.
“The total number of seats for the Dao Fruits Tower is forty-six, as for the distribution of the extra places, we will follow the old rules. All the seats will be distributed down equally, do you all have any objections?” After the Empyrean Saint Emperor finished speaking, he looked at the rest of the hundred or so people with a smile, as if this was something that was natural and righteous.
When he said forty-six seats, he was referring to the seats slightly in front, which should be the forty-six races or forces. For example, Ye Mo and the three of them, he only counted Ye Mo’s seat alone.
“We have no objection.” The representatives of the races immediately said in unison, as if that was indeed how they should be distributed.
Ye Mo, however, was frozen, could it be that the Dao Fruits Tower quota distribution conference was that simple? All the spots were equally distributed among everyone, and not a single person raised any objections, what kind of objections would there be in such a quota distribution conference? Besides, there were forty-six racial forces here, and the 193 places could not be evenly distributed, could they? But how come no one had raised any objections?
After waiting for a while, Ye Mo was sure that no one had raised any objections, but he had to do so.
“Lord Empyrean Saint Emperor, I have an objection.” While no one else raised an objection, Ye Mo stood up and said with a clasped fist.
Almost all eyes fell on Ye Mo along with his words, what objection was being raised at this time? Besides, it wasn’t like raising objections to the Empyrean Saint Emperor.
“Idiot who doesn’t know the rules.” The Demon Saint Emperor who had almost fought with Ye Mo earlier sneered disdainfully. In his opinion, it was obvious that Ye Mo didn’t understand the meaning of this equal distribution, which was why he idiotically stood up and raised an objection.
The Empyrean Saint Emperor was also surprised that a Dao Transformation Saint Emperor dared to say that he had an objection in such an a*sembly, he did stare at Ye Mo with some interest and asked, “You are the one representing the human race in the a*sembly this time, right? I wonder what objections you have?”
Ye Mo said aloud, “Since this is my first time representing the Human Race in the Dao Fruits Tower quota distribution conference, I would like to ask if this extra 193 slots have already removed the 30 that my Human Race should have occupied?”
Only then did Saint Emperor Empyrean understand what Ye Mo meant, and he immediately said, “This has not been removed, the Human Race has not participated in the a*sembly for several times, so these thirty slots have been dealt with directly as extra slots.”
“Lord Empyrean Saint Emperor, will the places that the other clans would have had also be allocated as extra places? If the quotas that other clans originally possessed are not taken out and distributed, and the quotas that the human clan should have possessed are solely taken out and distributed as extra quotas, how can this be considered fair and just?” Ye Mo said without any trace of politeness.
The Empyrean Saint Emperor froze for a moment, the Human Race had been represented before, yet they did not make the same request as Ye Mo. Not to mention that they didn’t dare to make the request for the thirty slots that the Human Race already occupied, and even in the distribution of the extra slots, they also tried to hold back as much as possible. It was unexpected that a Dao Transformation Saint Emperor who came this time was a newborn calf that was not afraid of the tiger and dared to make such a request.
“Hahahaha ……” Ye Mo’s words caused a burst of laughter in the hall, even Xing Hong lowered his head and did not come out to speak for Ye Mo.
Luo Qinghe and Wang Nanshang looked at Ye Mo in a dumbfounded manner, they had come to this conference with Ye Mo, that was for the sake of the human race not to continue to decline, and even prepared themselves mentally to fall at any time. However, even though they were well prepared, they did not expect Ye Mo to dare to make such a terrible request. Was this a request? This was simply not wanting to die.
In their minds, the human race only needed to get one or two places this time and then retreat in one piece, that would be a victory, or at least let others know that there was still a human race. Instead, Ye Mo proposed to return the thirty places that the Human Race once had, and then discuss the distribution of the extra places, a proposal that they simply could not even think about.
The Empyrean Saint Emperor did not laugh out loud, but only pressed his hand to stop the laughter in the hall before looking at Ye Mo and saying, “But the Human Race was also represented before and they did not make this request, ah? After all, it has been too long since the Human Race withdrew from the Dao Fruits Tower quota distribution conference.”
As the Empyrean Saint Emperor spoke, he was sighing in his heart, he saw that Ye Mo was courageous and wanted to indirectly tell Ye Mo that even if he asked for all one hundred and ninety-three places and everyone else agreed, it would still be useless in the end. This was because this was the first step in the allocation of places, and the second and third steps that followed were the most crucial. As for who the first step quota would be given to and how many would be divided, no one would even care.
“That’s because I didn’t come, if I came, I would have mentioned this request a long time ago.” When Ye Mo finished saying this, he surprisingly felt that it was somewhat familiar, he forgot where he had heard this before.
“The representative of the human race has proposed that they want to take back the thirty slots that belong to them first, does anyone have any objections?” After hearing Ye Mo’s words, the Empyrean Saint Emperor said no more and looked directly at the rest of the people from the clans in the hall and asked.
