Chapter 966: Chapter 521, I Want It Too!!!
Chen Haixu can exercise his veto power, forcibly rejecting Gu Hang’s proposal at this eting, despite the unanimous agreent of the other eight Principal Sages.
But if he does so, what will he face next?
What secret agreent has Gu Hang reached with these eight, which could make them all turn against him?
Will these clandestine agreents go further and threaten him?
The eight Principal Sages may not directly threaten his position, but if Gu Hang, a powerful external ally, is introduced, can he, the Founding General, hold his seat?
All these factors lay before Chen Haixu, who saw the smile on Gu Hang’s face, a smile seemingly asking him:
Do you really have the ability to forcibly veto this proposal?
He hesitated.
He actually didn’t dare.
The situation was beyond his imagination.
But it’s equally impossible for him to be coerced into casting a supporting vote without knowing anything.
Unable to veto and unwilling to agree, amid the gaze of others, Chen Haixu, the dignified Founding General and highest leader of the chanical Sect, was montarily stumped.
After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, “eting adjourned for a mont. Could Mr. Gu please step out temporarily? We need to discuss among ourselves…”
Gu Hang stood up, saying, “Fine, but please don’t keep waiting too long.”
Chen Haixu finally breathed a big sigh of relief.
Though the issue wasn’t resolved, his greatest concern was Gu Hang using the current voting situation to force him into making an imdiate decision.
That would make the situation awkward, even pushing both sides into an irresolvable predicant.
Fortunately, that didn’t happen. Gu Hang was very… ‘considerate.’
He even felt sowhat grateful to Gu Hang.
After Gu Hang left the room, Chen Haixu’s gaze swept over the Sages.
Their attitudes varied, but most felt too awkward to et his eyes.
Only when his gaze finally landed on Wu Jiarong did he clearly see that this youngest, Principal Sage, whom he had promoted, was fearlessly eting his gaze.
It seems the issue lies here.
“Tell , what exactly is going on!” Chen Haixu fixed his gaze on Wu Jiarong.
Wu Jiarong smiled, “Actually, it’s not complicated at all…”
…
Indeed, it’s not complicated.
It’s rely a black box.
Gu Hang is remarkably charismatic and also possesses Spiritual Energy capabilities. However, Gu Hang has always exercised restraint in using the latter.
Because if he wishes to achieve effective control, the target’s behavior under mind control becos quite obvious and can be easily detected; to avoid detection, the implanted thoughts need to closely align with the target’s own ideas, requiring a certain level of compatibility, and it also takes a relatively long ti to perform a ‘ntal surgery’ on the other party.
Gu Hang neither has the ans to harshly use spiritual powers to influence these Principal Sages’ thoughts nor the conditions to hold these Principal Sages in order to perform ntal surgery.
Actually, he doesn’t need to.
To persuade them, Gu Hang indeed never used any special ans, nor would he disdain doing so.
Just presenting a top-tier weapon like the black box sufficed.
For these high-ranking mbers of the chanical Sect, while considerations for the sect’s reconstruction and revival plans are indeed very important and deeply cared for, the importance of all these paled compared to ‘technology’ in their eyes.
The higher the ranking of the chanical Sect mbers, the deeper and more irresistible their thirst for technology.
And how to acquire new technology?
Lower-ranking chanical Sect mbers might still have learning and inheritance as ways. But for high-ranking chanical Sect mbers, the scope for learning and inheritance has beco very, very small.
Perhaps each possesses unique proprietary technology, but on one hand, these proprietary technologies sotis are rely small tricks or unique, unreplicable artisan product designs; on the other, because they are ‘proprietary,’ these naturally would not be easily passed on to others, even if they are colleagues.
Such proprietary cherish is an easily occurring problem within the chanical Sect. No matter how much they try internally to promote breaking this status quo; even the Central Empire and various levels of governnt are trying to engage in various technical cooperation and exchanges with the chanical Sect.
However, this atmosphere within the chanical Sect has persisted for thousands or tens of thousands of years, so how could it be easily changed?
Learning and passing on so unique technologies is difficult, not only causing significant problems for the internal circulation of technology but also seriously restraining the chanical Sect in researching and innovating technology, leading to a severe waste of resources.
Many technologies probably already exist and many people have mastered them. However, due to a lack of dissemination, often when those who hold the technology die, it results in the technology being lost; and even if they haven’t died, as long as they refuse to spread the technology, others with similar technical needs still have to consu resources to research it again.
Moreover, the chanical Sect itself is quite resistant to ‘innovation.’
Technology is the law of ancestors, a routine effective for thousands of years, best left unchanged. Even minor effective modifications could be temptations from the abyss, eventually resulting in so terrible problems. Not to ntion so genuine major innovations like producing a new product, which could very likely be knowledge from the unclean abyss, forbidden knowledge, ultimately resulting in products that might be a demon’s plot, leading to very, very negative outcos.
