Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 309 Became the Emperor, Lost Power

Bibi Dong was not surprised by Yali's sudden attack. She would definitely cause trouble if she showed up, but the timing was wrong. From Yali's previous actions, it was clear that they also hoped that the Wuhun Empire would be established and the world would be unified. Was it too early for Yali to jump out now? She had a bad feeling.

Yue Guan spoke for his master.

"Your Highness, do you have any questions?"

Yali stood up, bowed to the Pope and the elders present, and said.

"Your Holiness, Yue Guan, and all the elders, Yali has no objection to the establishment of the Spirit Empire, and I think all the elders should think the same. It's just that Yali thinks that before the establishment of the empire, we need to confirm the relationship between the empire and the Spirit Hall, as well as the division of power and responsibility."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu remained calm and watched quietly. Bibi Dong frowned slightly, and the other elders also had their minds racing. A new round of power struggle in the Spirit Hall had begun.

Bibi Dong signaled with her eyes to an elder who was ranked lower in the ranking, and that person understood what she meant.

This was a cold and hard man wearing golden battle armor and with a hideous scar on his left face. He was ranked ninth among the elders in the Elder Hall and was temporarily in Bibi Dong's camp. As for why it was temporary, it was because he and Bibi Dong were only bound by interests and came for the power distribution after the establishment of the empire. He was not really loyal.

The ninth elder spoke.

"Your Highness, if the empire is established, it is natural that the entire Spirit Hall will be directly dispersed into the empire and directly command the overall situation. At that time, the imperial power can directly exercise the power and responsibilities of the Spirit Hall. It is legitimate and convenient to directly stabilize the situation in the new empire. Why divide it?"

Bibi Dong certainly doesn't want to accept Yali's proposal to divide the power. They want it all!

The other elders listened silently without saying anything, waiting for further instructions.

In response to the Ninth Elder's answer, Yali shook her head and refuted.

"The Ninth Elder is wrong. As long as the elders are here, there will be no major chaos in the Wuhun Empire."

"The nature of our Spirit Hall is very different from the Imperial Court. The powers and responsibilities of the two are completely different. The religious nature of the Spirit Hall itself is not suitable for being incorporated into the Empire. Moreover, all the members of the Spirit Hall are spirit masters, and there are many ascetics who only focus on cultivation. They are not suitable for entering the Imperial Court."

"If we put the Spirit Hall system completely into the imperial court in such a rough way, it may cause other incompatibility issues, which will still need to be rectified in the future. By the time the structure is finalized, it will have to be broken down and reorganized again. Not only will it affect the development of the empire, it may also cause a lot of jokes and affect the people's trust in the empire. So Yali thinks it is better to plan ahead before things start."

Yali's words are well-reasoned and common sense, but they are not what Bibi Dong wants! Ju Douluo Yue Guan took over and spoke.

"What the Saint said makes sense, but this is not unsolvable. As long as the imperial system makes corresponding changes, it can be solved naturally."

Yali smiled.

"Isn't appropriate division a feasible system? They all belong to the same party, and it's not a complete division. Elder Yueguan, there seems to be something wrong with your thinking."

Yue Guan: “.”

He didn't know how to respond to Yali's words. That was the case, but they wanted Bibi Dong to lead everything. If they really separated them, the other part that was not directly under Bibi Dong's jurisdiction would be the type that no one would know but would obey orders.

Yali continued to attack.

"In that case, I, in the name of the Saint, propose a proposal on whether to divide the powers between the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Empire. Please have the Council of Elders vote!"

"Please raise your hands if you agree."

As she spoke, she was the first to raise her hand in agreement. Bibi Dong watched coldly and remained silent. The Saint proposed that she could not stop it, and the decision-making power of this matter was not hers, but Qian Daoliu's.

Qian Daoliu looked at Yali thoughtfully. They were busy with the divine test before they came, and had not discussed the details of today. He just said that he would support her when the time came. So he didn't know what Yali wanted to do specifically. What was the point of separating a department? However, the Spirit Hall was inherited from his ancestors, so he naturally had no objection to staying.

"I support you."

The second priest saw Qian Daoliu raise his hand to agree and spoke.

"Everyone, vote!"

After saying that, he raised his hand to show his support. After the others looked at each other, they also expressed their own opinions.

"I agree!"

"I agree too."

The vote this time was similar to the previous one. The twenty elders plus the Pope and the Saint, the ratio of those who supported to those who opposed was fourteen to eight. If the votes were counted, the High Priest and the Pope each had three votes, and the Saint, as the successor, had two votes, so the final vote ratio was seventeen to ten.

The second priest counted the votes and announced the result.

"The number of votes in favor accounts for more than half of the total votes. The proposal to divide the powers between the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Empire has been passed!"

Bibi Dong was very unhappy about this, but there was nothing she could do. However, apart from the fact that the Spirit Hall still existed and made her feel sick, the only power she had was the addition of an uncontrolled religious department. Anyway, even without this group of worshippers, the Temple would not listen to her, so it was acceptable.

Yali was not surprised by this result. She and Yunming had prepared a full plan for today, and it was all within expectations. The first step was successful, and Yali continued to speak.

"Now that the division has been confirmed, let's discuss which powers of the Spirit Hall should be retained."

Bibi Dong said lightly.

"If the Saint has any ideas, just say it directly."

The implication is, 'Hurry up and stop playing dumb in front of me!'

Yali was not annoyed by Bibi Dong's attitude and continued.

"I do have some ideas. Since your majesty has said so, I will throw out some ideas first."

After pausing for a moment to organize her thoughts, Yali explained one by one the responsibilities she had conceived that the Spirit Hall needed to retain.

"I personally think that the powers that the Spirit Hall needs to retain include guiding religious affairs, researching religious theories, education and training, and spirit awakening."

As soon as Yali opened her mouth she started with a series of basic religious duties. No one else reacted, as they were all normal work content of the Spirit Hall.

Afterwards, everyone voted on each item one by one. The previous ones were all minor matters and no one objected, so they were quickly passed. Therefore, these powers were smoothly transferred to the management of the Spirit Hall.

A slightly controversial point was that the Pope and the Emperor must be separated, and one person cannot hold both positions. Bibi Dong didn't want to be the emperor and hold that position part-time, so the proposal was eventually passed.

Bibi Dong asked again. "Is it over?"

Yali said gently.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. This is the last item left."

She glanced at everyone present and said the last and most important item.

"Finally, the Spirit Hall needs the supreme management power of the domestic spirit masters, the power to dispatch troops of the imperial spirit master corps, and the power to appoint the emperor of the new empire!"

The whole place was in uproar as these words were spoken. They finally knew what Yali's plan was, and Bibi Dong's face changed drastically.

Wrong, they all guessed wrong. In the secular world, the inertia of the idea that the imperial power is supreme made them all guess wrong about Yali's goal. What she wanted was not a department in the new empire at all, she wanted to make the Spirit Hall completely superior to the new empire.

Yali said with a smile.

"The king's power is granted by God. The king's power is granted by God, which means it is confirmed by the Pope, the human representative of God. Isn't this as it should be?"

Putting secular power below the peak strength is a model that Yali and Yunming came up with after watching the development of the future for 20,000 years. There are actually two main reasons for coming up with such a model.

First, if they want to govern the world, the government needs to have overwhelming power. Otherwise, it will be like the Sun Moon Federation in the future, where the military organization War God Temple only accounts for about a quarter of the peak human power. The other three organizations, Shrek Academy, Spiritual Pagoda, and Tang Sect, are more powerful than each other. Yun Ming himself was a person who could do whatever he wanted in the Federation in his previous life. Now that his position has changed, with him as a person who has experienced it personally, he naturally does not want the future to have lawless people like himself.

Second, the power of those in power needs to be constrained. It is easy to deal with low-level officials, but what about high-level officials? Those who can reach high levels have money, power and strength, which is quite difficult to deal with. So they need a sharp and cold knife on their heads.

Those who can control the Spirit Hall in the future should be the ultimate human beings. For the Ultimate Douluo, power is not very important in their eyes. Not only because they have cultivated to their level, becoming a god is far more attractive than power, but also because they know that their own power is the greatest hegemony. As long as Yun Ming leaves behind the method of believing in godhood, they will not let the people below mess around even for the sake of faith, so that the top power of the country will not be in a too bad situation.

As for the final top powerhouse, if Yun Ming succeeds in becoming a god, he will have endless life, and he just needs to keep an eye on it. He has never thought about failure, because it is really difficult to fail. Yun Ming still has the godhood of his previous life in the Sky-lifting Divine Spear!

Douluo Star has a history of 20,000 years. There are always many talented people in power in every era, but what are rare are those who can maintain their original intentions after holding high positions and power. Therefore, their logic is to force people to maintain their original intentions.

Of course, Yali will not tell them all of the above now.

Back at the Presbyterian Church, Bibi Dong now looked a little unhappy.

Yali's next plan, she guessed, the next step should be to re-elect the Pope and let Qian Daoliu take the throne again. Anyway, the new Pope has left most of the secular duties to the emperor, it is not difficult to be the Pope, it is very leisurely, the difficult part is how to become the Pope. And this is really not difficult for Qian Daoliu, he is returning to his old job, and she should be appointed as the emperor.

Yali's plan was indeed like this. It was difficult for her to seize power from Bibi Dong, but Qian Daoliu could do it! Wouldn't it be easier to find a way to inherit or fight with her senior sister in the future than to compete with Bibi Dong directly? Then give Bibi Dong a new position that can appease the forces under him and prevent internal strife. The emperor of the empire is this position.

Bibi Dong said with a gloomy face.

"The Saint is really thoughtful!"

"If the Spirit Hall is handed over to you in the future, it will definitely reach new heights."

Yali responded.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. You are truly a woman of great talent, both in literature and martial arts, and one of the best in the world."

Bibi Dong now looked at Yali's innocent little face like an angel and felt that her teeth were about to break. The little girl had no moral principles at all. She set a trap for an old aunt like her and deceived her. She didn't dare to fight with real swords and guns.

Qian Daoliu looked at Yali's set of things and felt very strange. He knew very well what kind of temperament the little girl he had raised was. Looking at the history of the Angel Family from ancient times to the present, Yali should have been kind and pure. Why did she feel a little corrupted now? Why was that? Unconsciously, he thought of a handsome young man with a sunny smile.

The expressions on the faces of the other elders were all interesting in their own ways. They were not sure who would win the final power battle, but in this first round, Bibi Dong was undoubtedly doomed to fail.

Yali spoke again.

"Now please vote on the proposal just now! Raise your hands if you agree."

The people on Qian Daoliu's side naturally raised their hands without any hesitation. The boss had been supporting his disciples for a day, so they were already the first to answer questions. In addition to the fixed votes from before, three non-diehards on Bibi Dong's side defected and decisively chose the victory camp, including the Ninth Elder.

Bibi Dong was furious when she saw the three elders of the Ninth Elder betray her. These three damn guys actually dared to betray her. The three elders of the Ninth Elder could only give Bibi Dong an apologetic look. The current power center has obviously returned to the Spirit Hall, and the power is even greater. If they don't reconsider now, how can they fight for the interests of the family behind them?

Finally, the two priests counted the votes, and the support was twenty to seven. The three most important powers were officially divided among the Spirit Hall.

At this moment, Bibi Dong's Qi cultivation was no longer able to hold on. Black gas slowly emerged from the top of her head. It's not to describe her face as black, but a real ghost face formed by resentment emerged.

Everyone in the field was inexplicably panicked when they sensed Bibi Dong's unfathomable aura. The faces of the chief and second chief priests also changed slightly. They were surprised by the aura of the other party, which was not yet at the limit, but was faintly not weak. They did not expect that Bibi Dong had reached this level at such a young age. She was indeed the top genius of their Spirit Hall.

The angel light behind Qian Daoliu lit up, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Bibi Dong, do you want to break the rules of my Spirit Hall in front of me?"

Being in Wuhun City, the nest of the Angel God, Qian Daoliu's fighting power here is even stronger than before in the outside world. Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, she really wanted to take out the Rakshasa Demon Scythe and chop these guys up right now. But no, with Qian Daoliu here, she couldn't do it, and could only suppress her anger.

"how come?"

"But replacing the Pope requires the unanimous consent of all the elders. Since the High Priest is a man of rules, he must also abide by them!"

She has revealed her cards, and now Bibi Dong can only hope on this rule.

Qiandaoliu Zhengsedao.

"of course."

He raised his eyes and looked at the elders.

"I, Qian Daoliu, would like to take over as the Pope of the Spirit Hall again. Whoever agrees, whoever disagrees!"

"Raise your hands if you object."

Bibi Dong did not move. Her ticket was useless. She looked up at Jue Gui Er Douluo. The two wanted to raise their hands after receiving the look from their superior, but when Qian Daoliu looked at them, they did not dare to move. The legend they had seen since childhood was too powerful, which made Bibi Dong so angry that she was about to go berserk.

In the end, no one raised their hand, and Qian Daoliu ascended the throne of Pope at the age of over 150.

Bibi Dong was furious. All her years of hard work had paid off, so she left the table immediately.

From then on, Pope Bibi Dong became a thing of the past, and from now on, there was only Empress Bibi Dong. She ruled the empire as a woman, becoming the first emperor of the Wuhun Empire, and thus created a new top position for workers. To die, no emperor is still a worker.
