Chapter 819 The Disputes at the Legendary Conference (Second Update)

At the legendary parliamentary vote,
Everyone was looking in Genos's direction, and some even started whispering among themselves.

No one expected that Genos would take the initiative to attack Li Si and the "Source of All Laws" at this time.

Everyone knows that if the "Source of All Laws" continues to develop in this way, it will sooner or later affect the interests of these legendary councilors who have joined various schools of thought.

Although the Source of All Laws does not restrict members from other schools of thought from joining, so far, no legendary councilors from other schools of thought have joined the Source of All Laws.

The legendary councilors who joined the "Source of All Laws" were all free councilors who had been ostracized by other schools of thought.

Although many legendary councilors agreed with Li Si's ideas, taking the initiative to support Li Si at this time would undoubtedly face pressure from other schools of thought.

They dare not target Li Si directly, but targeting other legendary councilors is not a problem.

This isn't something we haven't done before.

This wasn't because those legendary councilors from different schools of thought were bullies who preyed on the weak; it was simply that Li Si's situation was far too complex.

As the disciple of Stephens, the Second Speaker [Flame of Judgment], Li Si had already made most people unwilling to be his enemy. Under these circumstances, he also controlled an intact floating city.

In this situation, even if they had opinions about Li Si, they were worried that they might need Li Si's help in the future.

What if they anger Li Si and prevent them from getting the right to board the Kane floating city?
Therefore, Li Si now holds a rather special position in the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

In some ways, his position is even higher than that of the leaders of the three top schools of thought.

After all, during the previous voting meetings, the competition for resources was fierce, and there were quite a few instances of people slamming their fists on the table and cursing.

Even if the other party is the leader of one of the three top schools of thought, the result will be the same.

If Li Si weren't the leader of the Source of All Laws, the other legendary councilors wouldn't care at all, and the Source of All Laws wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

Therefore, the atmosphere at the voting meeting is now somewhat tense.

No one stood up to support Genos's proposal, but at the same time, no one stood up to oppose it.

The atmosphere became tense, leaving Genos alone to explain his point of view to everyone.

"We all know that Councilor Li Si's idea of ​​establishing the [Source of All Laws] is good, and it is for the future of the entire Pan-Continental Mage Association."

"However, this does not mean that the [Source of All Laws] is currently without problems."

"I think it's because Representative Li Si was a bit too eager to change the mindset of the entire association, so some of the measures he implemented in the [Source of All Laws] were a bit too extreme, causing a considerable impact on the entire association."

"This has already attracted the attention of many association members and caused great concern and anxiety among many people."

"As a member of the Legendary Council, I believe we should not sit idly by. The Legendary Council should take the initiative to guide the Source of All Laws in a better direction."

"I'm not against Li Si and the [Source of All Laws]'s approach, but such a change that could affect the association for hundreds or even thousands of years should involve the Legendary Council as well."

Genos stood in his designated spot, looking around as he spoke eloquently.

Hearing what he said, many members of parliament nodded in agreement, some even agreeing with Genos's point of view.

Indeed, Li Si's status and position are extraordinary, but the Pan-Continental Mage Association does not belong to him alone.

As the legendary council that holds the highest power in the Pan-Continental Mage Association, it should intervene when faced with a situation like the [Source of All Laws] that could potentially change the entire state of the association.

"ridiculous!"

Just then, a voice interrupted Genos.

Everyone turned their attention to him and saw that it was Simone, the "Free Reciter," and their faces showed a knowing expression.

As the first legendary councilor to officially join the Source of All Laws, Simone holds a very high position within the Source of All Laws and has taken over the management of various affairs of the Source of All Laws from Li Si.

Even the highly regarded magic journal, "The Source of All Laws," is managed by this person.

In other words, Simone, the "Free Reciter," is different from others; he has become deeply involved in the "Source of All Laws."

Therefore, the interests of the "Source of All Laws" and Simone have become intertwined.

Therefore, it was only natural for Simone to stand up against Genos's proposal at this time, in the eyes of others.

Simone slowly stood up, looked at Genos, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.

In his view, the association was complacent and satisfied with its current magical achievements because of people like Genos, and it was willing to do anything to protect its own interests.

He is not, and does not want to be, that kind of person!

Simone considered the top-tier magic workshops of Kane's Floating City to be valuable, but nothing special.

He, who has always valued knowledge and freedom, doesn't think much of those things.

After all, given his strength and status, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to join one of the three top schools and gain access to a top-tier magic workshop.

But Simone couldn't stand what those people were doing, which is why he didn't join any school of thought.

When Li Si invited him to join the "Source of All Laws," he hesitated.

On the one hand, he was quite curious about Li Si's "Source of All Laws," and Li Si's declaration at the Legendary Council regarding the original intention of establishing the "Source of All Laws" moved him greatly.

On the other hand, Simone was indeed worried that while the current "Source of All Laws" might be good, if the "Source of All Laws" or Li Si changed in the future, it would contradict his own beliefs.

But later, he still joined the Source of All Laws to help Li Si manage and nurture this nascent school of thought.

At first, he simply thought that Li Si wanted to use the [Source of All Laws] to break the blockade of various schools of thought on various magical knowledge.

But later, he discovered that Li Si had much more to do than that.

Of all the things Simone valued most was the magic journal that Li Si had specifically given him!
With Li Si's guidance and Simone's management, the magic journal developed quite rapidly.

More and more members of various schools of thought began to write papers covering all sorts of fields, and these papers were gradually published in magical journals.

As a result, Li Si and he had fewer and fewer opportunities to personally write papers to supplement the content of the magic journal.

This means that more people are beginning to reflect on the magical knowledge they have learned and are trying to innovate and open up entirely new areas of magical knowledge.

This concept was completely absent from the previous Pan-Continental Mage Association.

Members of those schools believed that their own magical knowledge was already comprehensive enough, and that all they needed to do was learn how to use it.

To create new magical knowledge and realms?

That's something only a legendary mage could do.

Now, in the [Source of All Laws], from Bronze-rank mages to Gold-rank mages, everyone is reflecting on what they have learned and trying to discover new knowledge from it.

Admittedly, this was due to Li Si's guidance.

But in Simeone's view, this was absolutely the right thing to do.

This situation is similar to the early days of the magical empire, when various sparks of wisdom collided and gave birth to countless strange and powerful spells.

Simone believes that as long as the "Source of All Laws" continues to exist, it is highly likely that the former scene will be reproduced.

Once Simone was certain of this, he never doubted Li Si's idea again.

Regardless of Li Si's purpose, as long as he is doing the right thing, Simone will definitely support him.

He had already made the "Source of All Laws" his future career, something he wanted to dedicate himself to and even "strive for." At this time, Genos's proactive targeting of the "Source of All Laws" seemed to be entirely malicious.

Genos makes it sound very nice, like some legendary council is going to actively participate in the "Source of All Laws," but why doesn't he look at the contents of his proposal?

That clearly indicates an attempt to restrict most aspects of the [Source of All Laws].

No matter how nicely they talk, when the Legendary Council actually intervenes in the [Source of All Laws], will it really be as good as Genos says?
Moreover, if Genos had no other intentions, why would he submit an emergency proposal?

This is clearly an attempt to avoid directly confronting Li Si!
Therefore, Simone felt that he shouldn't, and couldn't, continue watching.

In this situation, we must take decisive action!

"Take a look at your proposal!"

Simone looked at Genos and said with a sneer:

"Isn't this restriction on the Source of All Laws just a way to force it to follow your old path?"

"What time is it? Still having such sweet dreams?"

"Times have changed. If the Pan-Continental Mage Association continues as before, it is destined to fall behind!"

"I don't want the situation of those magical empires to repeat itself at the Pancontinental Mage Association."

"Simone, don't get so agitated."

Genos looked at Simone and said calmly:
"I already said, I didn't mean anything by it."

"Yes, the Pan-Continental Mage Association does need to change, and that's something we all understand."

"But change also requires a gradual process."

"This involves the entire Pancontinental Mage Association, not just one or two people, or one or two schools of thought."

"We must be cautious!"

"I think Li Si wouldn't want the entire association to fall into chaos either, would he?"

"Shortsighted, that sounds nice!"

Simone completely ignored Genos's explanation, staring intently at him:

"If it really came to that, would I still be telling you this?"

"I don't know who else, but this is definitely not your idea alone."

"This is not a lukewarm change; it's a transformation involving the entire Pan-Continental Mage Association!"

After speaking, Simone paused for a moment, then continued:

"I once asked Li Si why he established the 'Source of All Laws' so quickly and introduced so many measures."

"He said that the entire Gaia world will undergo tremendous changes, and even if everything is fine now, the Pan-Continental Mage Association is destined to be involved."

"Instead of being forced to change later, it's better to take the initiative to change now. The association has more resources and room to experiment and learn from mistakes."

“Li Si said, ‘That’s how change works. I’d rather make mistakes than do nothing!’”

After speaking, Simone looked at everyone present with a cold smile, his gaze sweeping over Genos and landing on the figures whose forms were hidden by the mist.

"He's already a legendary mage, yet his vision is still so short-sighted."

"By doing this, you have shown short-sightedness and abandoned the courage to continue climbing the peaks of magic and wisdom, just like the three Speakers!"

Faced with Simonsie's sweeping attack, many of the legendary councilors present looked somewhat uneasy.

"well said!"

A burly figure stood up, looked at Simone, and laughed loudly, saying:

"As expected of you, Simone, you make me feel ashamed."

“You’re right, this proposal makes absolutely no sense, and I believe Li Si.”

Simone looked on, somewhat surprised.

The one who said this was none other than Borkan, the leader of one of the three top schools of thought, the Tower of Ashes!
"Regardless of whether this proposal passes today, I, on behalf of the [Tower of Ashes], support Li Si and the [Source of All Laws]!"

Borkan laughed heartily and declared boldly.

"As expected of Lord Stephens' disciple, this willpower truly puts me to shame!"

"I won't lose to a young man who's only recently joined the association!"

The legendary members of parliament present reacted in various ways to Borkan's statement.

Genos didn't say anything more, but calmly sat down.

Subsequently, under Minos's direction, all the legendary councilors present voted on Genos's proposal.

"Voting begins now!"

"Voting is over!"

"The vote is passed!"

"The application from the Legendary Council to restrict the inappropriate and disorderly expansion of the Origin of All Laws School will be implemented by the Legendary Council."

Just as Minos was about to announce the results, Simone shouted:
"This proposal involves myself, Lee Si, and many other legendary members of parliament. In accordance with the rules of the Legendary Parliament, I request that the implementation of this proposal be postponed and decided at the next voting meeting!"

Minos's voice rang out:

"The request for an extension by Senator Simone is in accordance with the rules of the legendary parliamentary voting session."

"The proposal regarding the Legendary Council's application to restrict the improper and disorderly expansion of the Origin of All Laws School will be postponed until the fourth voting meeting in the year 646 of the Dawn Calendar."

“The meeting is over!”

This was the last proposal, and with Minos's voice trailing off, the voting meeting officially ended.

Genos didn't say anything more, and his figure disappeared directly from the palace.

Simone took a deep breath, informed Li Si of the situation, and proactively sought support from other friends.

Li Si leaned back in his recliner, the magical screen in front of him displaying a scene from the voting meeting in the palace.

Although he did not attend the meeting, Li Si's privileges allowed him to directly observe its proceedings.

Just as he had guessed, Genos's proposal was passed without his involvement.

However, just now, the magical intelligent life form Minos had sent him the voting list.

Li Si looked at the familiar names on the screen and smiled slightly.

"So it really is these people!"
