Chapter 729: Time Stopped?! Get... Out of Here!

"You don't say, it's actually possible," Python sneered, staring at Wood Grain.

Wood Grain simply ignored it, quietly gazing at the vast Starry Sky, lost in thought.

At that moment, a spotlight fell on Tiger's head.

"Here it comes!"

Her Proposal is Resurrection, which, strictly speaking, does not infringe on anyone's interests.

A voluntarily subjective act would likely gain the approval of many.

Though it may not pass unanimously, it might still reach six votes.

"Deng!"

When the First Place Xingchen lit up, Tiger suddenly grew tense.

The second, the third!

The momentum is equally swift, not at all inferior to the Dragon.

"It seems we may achieve six votes," Flower said.

"By the way, what if there's a tie?" Python asked curiously.

"Naturally, they'd all pass together!" Su Yang explained.

"So, if multiple Proposals have the same vote count and each is the highest overall, they can all be enacted?!" Python exclaimed in astonishment.

"Of course, it was already put into practice on Brother Yin Yue last time," Yao Ri nodded.

"So it can work like that..." Wood Grain said thoughtfully.

"It lit up again!"

At Python's Reminder, everyone looked up together.

The fifth Xingchen shimmered, radiating dazzling Radiance!

"Could it be..." Monkey's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible strange hue.

"Just one vote short!" Tiger clenched her fist, shouting inwardly.

She has someone who must be resurrected; if she misses this chance, future opportunities will be scarce.

Although she is confident she can become a Round Table Conference Member again, the next group may not share her view.

At that time, the difficulty might be even greater.

Thinking that, Tiger couldn't help but stand up outright.

Su Yang glanced at her, his eyes flickering.

Yet after waiting a moment, the sixth never managed to light up.

"Failed..." Tiger instantly lost all strength, slumping into her seat, utterly despondent.

A hint of remorse flashed in Su Yang's eyes.

He knew clearly that the missing vote was due to his not casting it.

To keep it secret, he had to act that way.

Last time, Tiger, to crush Yue Zhao's plot, resolutely voted for him regardless of the outcome.

She then knew that doing so could very likely forfeit the reward for the Proposal's passage.

Yet even so, she still did it.

"Alas..."

Su Yang let out a long sigh.

Though this act is far from moral, for the plan he could only proceed this way.

For now he can only think of repaying this favor elsewhere in the future.

"What a pity, just one vote short," Python said.

"Resurrection is nice, but after all not everyone wants such a mechanism," Flower replied.

When the beam shone on Su Yang's head, the First Place Xingchen suddenly flashed.

The speed was so swift that everyone couldn't react.

"Brother Yin Yue's Proposal should have no opposition, right?" Python said, arms crossed, calm and composed.

"The best way to oppose the Old Era is, of course, unopposed," Monkey said.

"A good Proposal can bring blessings to all beings; if Merit manifests, I estimate Brother Yin Yue could possess a whole realm of beings," Dragon said.

"I'm only doing it for self-preservation, not as grand as you claim," Su Yang waved his hand.

"Being overly modest isn't a good habit; the points you thought of are already remarkable," Dragon said.

"Deng!"

Unsurprisingly, the fifth Xingchen flashed instantly.

"There's a chance!" Python felt a stir in his heart.

The momentum unchanged, the sixth Xingchen birthed endless Radiance, erupting suddenly.

Yet at that moment, a splash of warm Liquid suddenly splattered onto Su Yang's Mask.

He instinctively reached out to wipe it, lowering his gaze—

"This is..."

He saw his palm drenched in deep red blood; looking up, he saw Wood Grain half removing her Mask, revealing half a face.

And she had already bitten the tip of her Tongue, the blood flowing from there.

"Innate Talent?!" Su Yang furrowed his Brow.

This phenomenon immediately drew sideways glances from others.

Python noticed the Xingchen that should have shone was motionless, raging, "Scoundrel, did you cause this?"

"Since the same vote can be enacted together, then let's terminate it." Wood Grain put the Mask back on, in a flat tone.

"You're courting death!" Python slammed the table, rose angrily and lunged at her.

"Stop! This is a Round Table Meeting!" Tiger surged forward and blocked him.

"Damn, I knew you hadn't held in your fart properly; you were just waiting here," Python laughed furiously.

"Some matters are better left untouched than encountered," Wood Grain said.

"From what you say… it seems you're thinking of us?" Python sneered.

"The Old Era Remnant Faction's abilities are scarier than you imagine; if this Proposal passes, it will invite an unforeseeable crisis," Wood Grain said.

"Fart, you motherf***, you took those jerks' benefits and deliberately caused trouble—what's with the talk of righteousness?" Python spat fiercely.

"Terminating now is also cutting losses early; later you'll thank me," Wood Grain said slowly.

"Damned guy…" Python gritted his teeth.

Not only him, but the others also found it utterly absurd.

Obviously, Su Yang's Proposal could greatly help them avoid risk.

If this rule constraint didn't exist, the Old Era would surely have Jiang Chengyu act against them.

At that point, how much resistance would remain in the game?

Even thinking with one's toes, it's clear they'd be completely defeated.

No resistance at all!

"Her Innate Talent can terminate the rule?" Su Yang stared at Wood Grain, a flash of brilliance flashing in his eyes.

Wrong!

Su Yang then noticed that Xingchen's Radiance still persisted.

There was no sign of surrender.

So that means…

"Time stopped?!" Su Yang's Pupil suddenly contracted.

Using the power of time stop, he forcibly ended Xingchen's flicker.

She exploited the same loophole in the rule!

Thus, when Su Yang's turn passes…

The vote count will freeze at the same number as Xingchen's flickers.

"The activation condition is to bite the tip of the Tongue?" Su Yang furrowed his Brow.

Wood Grain was clearly prepared.

Having revealed her Innate Talent, she must have considered the risks that could arise in the future.

"Or perhaps… whose words just now triggered the keyword?" Su Yang recalled carefully.

But at that moment, the beam above began to shift.

"Damn, it's the next person's turn!" Python shouted.

Su Yang jerked his head up, his complexion changing.

Now using Deception is already too late!

"What a turncoat of the Old Era; if you succeed today, where will our honor be?!"

With a roar of anger, Yao Ri slammed the table, his eyes brimming with authority flashing Golden Light.

"Give me…"

"Get out!"
