My Golden Core is a Star, do you call this cultivating?

Chapter 329: The Decision of the Seven Martial Stars Family

"Public vote?"

The Seventh Prince was momentarily stunned. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but he couldn't understand Qi Yuan's words right away.

Seeing that the Seventh Prince and Gong Yi Cai didn't understand, Qi Yuan explained further.

"It means letting the people... vote on their fate. At that time, I will have my robot, Zero One, gather all their life records, listing all their evil deeds and good deeds. Then... provide options for the people to vote on whether they should die, face imprisonment, or... be released without charge."

Qi Yuan patiently explained.

He had never met these people before, felt no animosity, and didn't have any particular feelings about them.

So... let the vote decide their fate.

Besides... wouldn't that be fun?

"This..." The Seventh Prince hesitated, not expecting this kind of public vote.

He initially thought it would be a vote among the Seven Martial Stars families.

Such a public vote was unheard of, unprecedented.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan couldn't help but say, "Are you saying the citizens of Qin Yuan don't have the right to vote?

But I distinctly remember that every citizen has the right to vote. Or is this just lip service?"

Qi Yuan raised his voice.

The Seventh Prince's heart tightened, and he quickly replied, "Yes, absolutely, they have the right to vote!"

Although, indeed, as Qi Yuan said, it was often just lip service.

But now, with Mr. Qi bringing it up, how could it just be lip service?

It had to happen.

However, the implications of this matter were too significant.

A nationwide vote, with everyone acting as a judge, had too many unpredictable and uncertain elements.

"If it's possible, why are you hesitating? Don't tell me... you can't find any university students to build a voting website? Or perhaps, if the website is outsourced layer upon layer, it would be so poorly made that it crashes when too many people vote?"

The Seventh Prince was bewildered for a moment, then immediately promised, "We, the royal family, will fully support this, to serve Mr. Qi!"

"Don't serve me; I don't need servants. Serve the people," Qi Yuan stretched lazily.

The Seventh Prince nodded quickly.

Although, with his authority, he couldn't agree on behalf of the royal family.

Such a public vote would also need the agreement of all the Seven Martial Stars families.

But at this moment, how could the Seventh Prince dare to refuse? He agreed immediately.

As for whether the Seven Martial Stars families would agree... there was no need to think about it.

They wouldn't dare disagree.

Otherwise, what awaited them... could also be a public vote.

At this point, Qi Yuan turned his gaze to Gong Yi Cai: "Long time no see, old man. Hmm, you've gotten younger."

Gong Yi Cai was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly lowered his head, "Old man here pays respects to Mr. Qi?"

His posture was very humble.

Completely different from when he was on the Lost Mountain.

"Yes, ten years later, not exactly, my corpse met you," Qi Yuan said casually. "Back then, you brought some of your family's young ones; I remember a person named Gong Yi Qing, who had a pretty good attitude.

But, there was one whose body was hollowed out by indulgence, I think his name was Gong Yi Lang. He looked at people with his nose, extremely arrogant, almost committing the crime of insulting a corpse."

Back then, when Qi Yuan had turned into a corpse, Gong Yi Qing was still respectful toward him.

However, Gong Yi Lang was blabbering, speaking filthy words.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yi Cai's face suddenly fell, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

He understood now; Qi Yuan was a regressor.

It should be that this regressor had died, and ten years later, the Gong Yi family had sent people to communicate with Qi Yuan's corpse.

Now hearing that someone from the Gong Yi family had disrespected Qi Yuan, his expression became even worse than crying.

"Husband, should I blow a breath at the Gong Yi family?" Ning Tao asked considerately.

Gong Yi Cai immediately knelt on the ground, nervous and scared: "Mr. Qi, please spare me!"

He had seen it before. This woman next to Mr. Qi could almost collapse the Sky Eye with a single breath.

If she blew a breath at the Gong Yi family, would anyone survive?
Gong Yi Cai was naturally terrified and immediately kowtowed, begging for mercy.

Qi Yuan saw this and said to Ning Tao, "Am I some kind of demon king, always killing and fighting? That's not good. It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning. If I hadn't seen Gong Yi Cai, I would have forgotten about it."

Hearing this, Gong Yi Cai finally breathed a sigh of relief, his heart settling down.

As long as she doesn't blow a breath at the Gong Yi family.

At this moment, he hated Gong Yi Lang, that little brat, to death.

That guy was just a second-generation playboy, so bold, how dare he insult Mr. Qi?

"Thank you, Mr. Qi, for sparing us."

At this moment, he also felt a great deal of goodwill toward Gong Yi Qing.

This Gong Yi Qing was not from the main line but was very diligent.

Not long ago, someone in the family proposed to support Gong Yi Qing, but this proposal was rejected.

Now, Mr. Qi mentioned Gong Yi Qing, so that rejection was naturally void.

Not only would the Gong Yi family support Gong Yi Qing, but they would also regard him as the true leader of the younger generation!

"You handle the cleanup here; I'm too lazy to bury them. Arrange the banquet. Since I'm already in the capital and it's still early, I might as well play around for a couple of days."

Qi Yuan said casually, holding Ning Tao, and their figures disappeared.

Only the Seventh Prince, Gong Yi Cai, and a room full of corpses were left behind.

The Seventh Prince stretched out his palm, which was covered in sweat, showing how nervous he had been just now.

However, at this moment, he felt a rush of excitement and thrill.

He looked at Gong Yi Cai and slowly said, "Let's have me and... Gong Yi Qing handle this vote, shall we?"

Although he didn't know who Gong Yi Qing was, since Qi Yuan mentioned him, he had to be reused.

"Alright!" Gong Yi Cai quickly nodded.

According to the rules, this matter would need the nod of the patriarch.

But now, in this special situation, what use is a patriarch?
Mr. Qi is the real king!
The true king who dominates the world!

Meanwhile, the entire capital was in turmoil.

Especially among the Seven Martial Stars families, their high-ranking members all immediately realized the fall of the thirteen Sky Eye fortresses of the Mu family.

This incident was shocking, causing all the Seven Martial Stars families to tremble in fear.

That was the Sky Eye, the cornerstone of the Seven Martial Stars family's establishment.

The Sky Eye was breached?
This was even more terrifying than a nuclear war breaking out in the world.

So, countless personnel, vehicles, and information rushed toward the Mu family to find out what had happened.

But the conclusion they got was even more shocking and incomprehensible.

It was actually a human who single-handedly destroyed thirteen Sky Eyes.

This... was simply unbelievable.

The Sky Eye was said to be capable of slaughtering gods.

Yet, a human woman easily dealt with it.

At this moment, in a hall three thousand meters underground, the patriarchs of the Seven Martial Stars families gathered, and their expressions were not looking good.

"Destroying the Guiyan military camp, slaying three thousand soldiers with a single sword, was already enough to shock the world.

But now... his companion... is a hundred times, a thousand times more terrifying, obliterating thirteen Sky Eyes with a single blow!" The old patriarch of the Gong Yi family said tremblingly.

The other patriarchs of the Seven Martial Stars families present nodded seriously: "Even the gods in mythical legends... are nothing more than this."

There were twenty-one families in the Seven Martial Stars.

At this moment, these twenty old men were gathered together, discussing what had happened today.

"If that woman wanted to, I'm afraid... our Sky Eyes would also be destroyed instantly." The old patriarch of the Fang family spoke in a shaky voice, but no one dared to ignore his words.

The Fang family was one of the top three in the Seven Martial Stars families.

Their status was even higher than that of the Mu family.

But even so, the old patriarch of the Fang family knew that their higher status was of no use against Mr. Qi.

"This person... is too terrifying.

And his companion... is simply... not human!"

"Sigh, in the face of the unknown, we must maintain reverence.

The Mu family, with a thousand years of accumulation, has been used to doing whatever they want, without regard for others, and now they've stumbled, falling into an abyss from which there is no return.

A thousand-year-old family... not even qualified to be someone else's servant. It's really... ridiculous."
After saying this, the old man seemed somewhat despondent.

It was as if the things he had been proud of all his life had completely vanished.

The worldly power... in the eyes of those on a higher level, is indeed as if it were nothing.

"According to the tests, the methods employed by that woman have an energy level that is immeasurable." Another elder spoke.

After Ning Tao destroyed the thirteen Sky Eyes, thousands of warships were immediately dispatched into space for investigation and research.

"Although it's unmeasurable, destroying our Sky Eyes... happened in an instant.

After simulation, we concluded that such a strike... would be enough to wipe Guiyan off the map.

And note, this means wiping it out, not just exterminating the humans but making sure that, on this world, Guiyan no longer exists.

Most importantly, we don't know if this is her limit."

Upon hearing this, the people present had shock written all over their faces.

Even with their power and composure, they were moved by this.

The Sky Eye is powerful, but even wiping out all humans in Guiyan would require several Sky Eyes to fire simultaneously.

Moreover, this would only wipe out humans, not other living creatures.

Yet this mysterious woman could flatten Guiyan from the map with a single strike.

What kind of concept is this?
An unimaginable concept.

"So... gentlemen, stop thinking about resistance, schemes, or recruitment.

Such beings are beyond our comprehension.

Our proud technological civilization, our cultural heritage, might not even be worth one of their naps." The old patriarch of the Fang family said, perhaps because of tension, even making a slip of the tongue, his voice carrying a deep sense of helplessness.

If the immortals left some traces to be studied.

Ning Tao's display was completely unfathomable.

Can human power... sink a continent?

How many bombs would it take to do that?
"So I propose, let's not discuss it further here.

No amount of discussion will be of any use.

Regarding Mr. Qi, and that mysterious woman, we just need to maintain respect for the unknown.

At the same time, strictly forbid family members from causing trouble outside.

Whoever causes trouble will be expelled from the family at best, and executed at worst!"

The old man from the Fang family spoke firmly, his words carrying weight.

"I second that; I don't want our family to be subjected to a public vote!"

"If Mr. Qi votes on us, we probably have no ability to resist."

"Sigh, sometimes... being famous in history isn't so bad."

These old patriarchs voiced their agreements one after another.

Although Mr. Qi hadn't said anything, they understood what they should and shouldn't do.

Regarding Qi Yuan, they dared not investigate his privacy like Marquis Blue Sea did; instead, they checked his public information.

This public information also revealed a bit of Qi Yuan's character.

Hmm... mental illness certificate, somewhat unpredictable.

But overall... he seems like someone who repays kindness with kindness, repays enmity with enmity, a "respectful and law-abiding" person.

Since he's like that, they will "finish this play" with him.

"Tomorrow, I will personally visit Mr. Qi; who will join me?" The old man from the Fang family spoke, and then, thinking of something, he added, "I will go in person."

For people at their level, having a cloned body is a simple matter.

The cloned bodies are usually dormant, only used in special situations to replace them.

"I will go in person as well."

"I will go in person too!"

These old guys realized that Qi Yuan must not be offended.

Using a clone to visit would be disrespectful to Mr. Qi.

...

On the streets of the capital, Qi Yuan was walking with Ning Tao... or rather, to be precise, the "Canary" was walking.

At this moment, Qi Yuan held a brick in his hand, his eyes revealing a thoughtful expression.

"I've always heard that if you randomly throw a brick in the capital, you'll hit a department head. I wonder if that's true?"

It was a rare visit to the capital, and he wanted to test it out.

The Canary tilted her head, showing a pondering expression: "Blood Pearl, I think it's unlikely. There's hardly anyone around us."

"Then let fate decide."

Qi Yuan tossed the brick into the air.

This time he didn't use much strength; he only threw it a few thousand meters high.

Moreover, he cast a spell just in case, to avoid killing anyone.

Even if the brick fell and hit someone, it wouldn't cause any harm.

"Come on, let's go see who it hit." Seeing the brick falling rapidly, the Canary was also excited, holding Qi Yuan's arm, wanting to see if it hit a department head.

"Let's go and take a look." Qi Yuan was in a good mood.

It's rare to have someone accompany him in such playful antics.

The two of them quickly headed in the direction where the brick was falling.

At this moment, on the streets of the capital, the sun was a bit blinding.

Many people were looking up at the two suns in the sky, taking pictures and checking in.

Huang Weiming, holding a black bag, was walking down the street in a daze.

He was from a rural background. When he was in college, the villagers had given him eggs and sweet potatoes to support his studies at a prestigious university.

It should be noted that prestigious universities in Qin Yuan were very expensive.

He worked hard, studying while working part-time, and after graduating, he started his own business.

He invested in a project that, fortunately, grew quickly.

Within just five years, his company was valued at one billion.

At this point, he also began to give back to his hometown.

But who would have thought that his "small company" would catch the eye of a second-generation aristocrat?

That aristocrat wanted to snatch the company from him, and without a strong background, he had no way to resist.

Various departments began to make things difficult for him, and partners started avoiding contact.

All of this was to force him to sign a contract.

Once he signed, the company would no longer be his, and he would become just another employee.

Although the salary would be high, he felt deeply frustrated.

Because the projects he wanted to invest in for his hometown would have to be put on hold.

"This is just shameless. How could they do this!" Huang Weiming felt a deep sense of helplessness.

He wasn't some naive young person.

He understood concessions.

After all, these things happen frequently; usually, you lose a bit and then share the gains.

But... that Mu family's second-generation... was utterly shameless, really wanting to take everything, leaving nothing?

No sense of fairness at all!

How could he not be angry? He even wanted to curse the heavens.

He looked up, his eyes filled with fury.

But in the next moment, the anger in his eyes turned to fear.

A brick-like object was falling from the sky, about to hit him on the head.

"Ah!"

Huang Weiming screamed in fear, unable to react.

The brick fell on his head.

He froze.

Because... he wasn't hurt at all.

At that moment, a voice came from nearby: "Hey... are you a department head?"
