Chapter 951 - 466: Kill Muye and Ascend as Speaker! (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket!)_3

State Speaker of New State!

Currently, the entire Eighth Sanctuary has only seven states, and each State Speaker is a Senior Frontier Official, guarding a region.

It can be said that the State Speaker is even rarer than the Supreme Sanctuary Council Members, truly holding significant authority.

Indeed, many Members of Parliament have always been seeking to be appointed as State Speakers in newly developed states, just like Huang Shangzong.

Therefore, becoming a State Speaker inevitably makes one soar to the upper echelons of the Sanctuary.

As for whether the promise by Huang Shangzong is genuine...

The Deputy Speakers didn't harbor any doubts.

After all, there are many ranks of merit within the Sanctuary:

Expansion of territory is of the highest merit.

Developing the economy, establishing an army, and purging spies are great merits.

Accomplishing the missions assigned by the Sanctuary and maintaining its governance are considered substantial merits.

The rest are minor merits.

But... this is just the standard merit system.

Actually, beyond this standard system, there is a merit only second to the highest, which is killing an Evil God!

As a formidable menace to humankind, Evil Gods are something humans don't want to face but inevitably must.

Thus, weakening the strength of the Evil Gods and defeating them are considered the highest contributions to the Human Camp.

This is also why Liu Xiongyuan, Tang Feifei, including Qiu Tu, with such merits, could exceptionally and smoothly become Deputy Speakers.

Keep in mind, the Eighth Sanctuary, throughout its history, has only slain a few Fourth-Order Evil Gods, even fewer Fifth-Order Evil Gods, and there has never been a record of slaying a Peak Fifth Rank Great Evil God.

If someone could indeed kill a Peak Fifth Rank Great Evil God, regardless of whether by clever strategy or sheer strength, it would certainly be an incredible feat!

At that time, the Sanctuary would undoubtedly grant a generous reward.

As for Huang Shangzong's so-called "recommendation," it can be deemed important but also unimportant.

It's unimportant because with such a merit, one doesn't need his recommendation to catch the eye of Sanctuary's top leadership and be given a crucial role.

Its importance lies in the fact that many arrangements of the Sanctuary require comprehensive consideration.

Killing an Evil God easily qualifies one to be Deputy Speaker because the position of Deputy Speaker also divides between significant and insignificant powers. Even if it's a powerful Deputy Speaker, with the Speaker at the helm, minor competence issues won't impact the overall situation.

But the position of Speaker is different.

A Senior Frontier Official, stewarding a state. If one lacks sufficient competence, it can lead to severe troubles!

And Huang Shangzong's "recommendation" is precisely to fill this gap.

Plainly speaking, Huang Shangzong is using his own status and reputation to vouch for this person, asking the Sanctuary to give him one opportunity!

As for whether he can succeed, that depends on the person's capabilities at that time.

Once unable to demonstrate the required capability, one might still remain among the high ranks of the Sanctuary, yet will not be able to become State Speaker again, and even Huang Shangzong might have to clean up the mess afterward.

It can be said that Huang Shangzong is also taking a certain political risk.

Those present, the Deputy Speakers, are all shrewd, thus, they understood Huang Shangzong's terms after pondering briefly.

For a moment, several of them were quite tempted...

Only... killing a Fourth-Order Evil God is immensely challenging, not to mention a Fifth-Order, specifically a Peak Fifth Rank Great Evil God, how could this possibly be done...

Therefore, until the meeting adjourned, the Deputy Speakers were frowning, deeply lost in their thoughts...

Among them, only Qiu Tu seemed relatively at ease.

While he did not have full confidence either, having already laid several foundational plans, he was evidently more assured.

Thus, the meeting concluded, and the Speakers gathered their belongings and left the meeting room.

Huang Shangzong hurried to the Sanctuary to meet the Fifth Order advancing Old Rao, thus he left the meeting room first.

Liu Xiongyuan was the second to leave, evidently, this old man wasn't genuinely waiting for retirement as he had claimed.

Dai Yukang was the third, while Qiu Tu, unhurried, was the fourth...

Just as he exited the meeting room, turning a corner, he heard Zhao Ji's cold voice, "Let's talk."
