Chapter 2087: The Immortal Gate's Elected Fortune Sovereigns

Cheng Zhen, Yuan, and the other supreme beings of the Immortal Sects are cunning; they not only intend to execute the Immortal Sects' Emperor, but also to maximize benefits, seeking the greatest gain for the Immortal Sects and birthing a Fortune Supreme!

And multiple Fortune Supremes at that!

Many supreme beings of the Immortal Sects looked at the Supreme Great Sun Sword Fairy with sparkling eyes.

This matter has huge feasibility, but the difficulty is very high; many problems they cannot solve, requiring the True Fairy to mobilize precious divine soul computing power and the endless starry sky Great Dream Sword Realm system to complete it.

"Speak specifically,"

"If it brings great benefit to the Immortal Sects, I will help."

Jiang Ding rolled his eyes at them.

Only here, in the hometown Immortal Sects, would they dare to drag him out to work like cattle and horses while he was in seclusion.

"Yes!"

"Senior Great Sun!"

Cheng Zhen's spirit lifted, and he immediately said: "Fortune Supremes have existed since ancient times."

"For example, in the Thousand Law Empire and the Tianwu Wang Ting, these two Fortune Dynasties in our records, there are the Emperor, Prime Minister, Prince, and Grand Commandant, four Fortune Supremes; such Supremes do not need bitter cultivation, as long as a Heavenly Immortal realm cultivator has fortune bestowed upon them and receives investiture from the Fortune Dynasty, they will achieve Fortune Supreme status and extend their lifespan by one or two hundred thousand years."

"Truly a shortcut to heaven!"

"What we propose is,"

Cheng Zhen spread his hands, outlining a beautiful blueprint: "Form nine Fortune Supreme positions using the Immortal Sects' fortune, with a term of one hundred thousand years, electing Heavenly Immortals of the Immortal Sects who have made great contributions to the Immortal Sects and have no hope of ascending to Supreme status to serve as Fortune Supremes, further enhancing the Immortal Sects' military formation strength."

"No,"

"I do not agree!"

Yuan voiced an opposing view at this time: "Fortune Supremes should value quantity over quality; birthing more Fortune Supremes helps improve the power of the Immortal Sects' military formations and raises the productivity levels of all industries."

"I believe at least eighteen Fortune Supremes are necessary."

"Even more Fortune Supremes..."

This viewpoint sparked numerous controversies.

The surrounding supreme beings and Heavenly Immortals of the Immortal Sects debated fervently; overall, Yuan's proposal received more support, after all, the more Fortune Supremes there are, the more opportunities there are.

A lifespan of one hundred thousand years is a tremendous opportunity for Heavenly Immortals.

If Immortal Sect Heavenly Immortals wish to take this path, they must walk the path of public service for the Immortal Sects, serving Immortal Sect citizens as much as possible, improving their social contribution, gaining more support from Immortal Sect citizens, striving to do good deeds, and only then might they become Fortune Supremes.

Below that, Fortune Heavenly Immortals, Fortune Dao-Union, and so on are similar.

This counts as a measure to seek welfare for the majority of citizens; many supreme beings of the Immortal Sects have not yet forgotten the majority of citizens, remembering everyone while improving the Immortal Sects' combat power.

The crowd argued for a while, and then gradually

quieted down, looking at the youth in green robes.

"Supporting the Immortal Sects' Fortune Supremes..."

"... and a whole set of Fortune official positions..."

Jiang Ding pondered deeply for a long time and said: "It should be achievable; using the execution of the destined Emperor of a Fortune Dynasty as a catalyst should be able to form a large batch of Fortune Dynasty positions with deep foundations."

He agreed.

After all, it is seeking benefits for the majority of citizens, which is what he hopes to see.

"Haha!"

"Now there is no worry!"

Cheng Zhen and the others were overjoyed.

"Let's be clear first, I am only responsible for the most core and most difficult parts; the rest of you must also work."

"Do not think of slacking off."

Jiang Ding said while rolling his eyes.

"That is natural!"

The surrounding supreme beings of the Immortal Sects were delighted.

This matter was decided thus.

After the meeting dispersed, Jiang Ding and Yuan chatted for a while.

"Senior Yuan,"

"Have the mechanisms behind the various anomalies in the spiritless universes been clarified?"

Jiang Ding asked.

In the spiritless universes, the appearance of various immortal path anomalies similar to the birth of Saint Kings is truly abnormal.

"Investigated and clarified."

"It is coincidence."

Yuan replied.

"Coincidence?"

Jiang Ding frowned.

"Yes, it is just coincidence."

"This is the result of our investigation."

Yuan explained: "The room filled with red light, the planet filled with red light, this is an astronomical phenomenon with not a trace of spiritual energy; the crane flying in is just an ordinary white crane; the meteor falling to form the jade seal is also a coincidence, the force just happened to cancel out... all are coincidences."

"These coincidences are all man-made coincidences."

"For example, the meteor was a meteor formed by the military bombardment drills of many Immortal Sect warships; the planet's red light happened to be caused by the activities of many citizens... almost all coincidences are accumulations of many human actions forming natural phenomena, all explainable by materialist science, with no immortal path factors whatsoever."

Yuan's expression was somewhat solemn.

"Are you saying that the fortune of a Fortune Dynasty unconsciously influences people?"

Jiang Ding heard the meaning behind his words.

The activities of the citizens created all these coincidences, these strange phenomena — this is the Human-Dao Dynasty's fortune.

"Yes,"

"The Fortune Dynasty still holds many unsolved mysteries for us."

Yuan sighed lightly.

This time, the anomaly in the dynasty's fortune was not detected in advance. If the immortal gate's citizens hadn't generally despised the Emperor and his ilk, it might well have led to a great disaster!

"Exploring the Dao of immortality has always been like this — there are far too many unknowns."

"Senior, don't be discouraged."

Jiang Ding offered comfort.

"By the way, is this Li Shiyang really your descendant?"

Jiang Ding suddenly recalled the intelligence given by the Central Array Spirit Computer.

"He is."

"Aside from lifelong bachelors like yourself, the immortal gate's bloodlines have long since merged together — you in me, me in you."

Yuan waved his hand and said: "This sort of thing is very common. If we traced our bloodlines all the way back, the two of us might even descend from the same primordial mother — perfectly ordinary."

"Believe it or not, if you ran a genetic test on him, he might even carry a trace of blood-kinship with your younger sister. These sons of Fortune Dynasties are best at this kind of noble lineage — born of imperial blood, innately exalted. When it comes to family and bloodline, who could possibly compare to your descendants?"

"Still, I have to say, this Fortune Dynasty's chosen son, the fated Emperor, does have his tricks."

"The first time I saw him at Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou University, I was suddenly overcome by an intense urge to look after him, to nurture him. It took me some effort to shake it off, and that gave rise to a strong sense of alarm."

Yuan said, greatly displeased.

Influencing one's divine soul — for any Supreme, that is an enmity to the death.

"Oh."

"So that's how it is."

Jiang Ding said meekly.

He had thought that executing this fated Emperor would bring Yuan some trouble, and had even planned to comfort him a bit — never expected the man had already thought it through.

The two parted ways, each going to attend to his own affairs.

Jiang Ding's main body continued closed-door cultivation and deduction, ignoring external matters, occasionally handling some core issues regarding the fortune-elected official posts, then sinking once more into deep slumber.

Unknowingly, several tens of thousands of years passed.

The immortal gate had undergone many changes once again.

When Jiang Ding once again cast a gaze outward, he saw on Tulan Star countless citizens silently watching an extremely archaic, history-worn guillotine.

"Insolent wretches!"

"You treacherous wretches who dare assassinate your sovereign!"

"I will exterminate your nine clans, forever barred from rebirth…"

The Fortune Dynasty's fated future Emperor, Li Shiyang, was dragged onto the guillotine, struggling and roaring curses without cease.

All authority and crown fell to the ground. The immortal gate's dynasty fortune suddenly erupted, heaven and earth overturning, furiously raging, on the verge of collapse, triggering numerous disaster phenomena — earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, torrential rain, mudslides — appearing one after another.

None of this moved any of the immortal gate's Supremes or Celestial Beings in the slightest.

The formations, fleets, and planetary orbital systems deployed throughout the immortal gate effortlessly suppressed all the fortune upheavals, with

no casualties among any citizens.

Dynasty fortune, after all —

if it does not align with the citizens' interests and the citizens' wishes, it too must perish!
