God of Pets Chapter 900: The Election

Although Abandoning Wisdom has various benefits, it also has a flaw that isn’t truly a flaw.

Once initiated, one’s own thought patterns are influenced, and actions are guided straight from the heart.

However, humans are inherently emotional creatures, and to others, such behavior might be hard to understand, even considered too foolish and naive, or perhaps seen as too heartless and unfaithful.

This influence is inevitable, and Chen Guan pays no mind to others’ opinions.

After advancing to the Ninth Awakening, Chen Guan prepared to make a trip to Evil God Mountain to obtain the Secret Skill, then seek out Ji Fenglie and venture into the Thunder World opened by the Infinite Robbery Bell within the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Chen Guan aimed to modify the Heavenly Devil Disintegration Method to make it applicable for attacks. His current plan was to add another Secret Skill, ’Full Speed Kill,’ on top of the existing techniques within the Heavenly Devil Disintegration Method.

Full Speed Kill derives from a Secret Spirit known as the ’Gold-Winged Silkworm’ atop Evil God Mountain, which is merely a Seventh Awakening Secret Spirit and whose highest level does not exceed Level 70.

Its fighting capability is rather average, but its flying speed is extremely fast.

The Full Speed Kill technique transforms speed into a killing force.

Chen Guan intends to integrate Speed Kill into the Heavenly Devil Disintegration Method, turning speed into destructive power. As the speed increases, so does the killing force.

Accompanied by the explosive outburst of his own abundant Primordial Energy, he can freely control and command his own Primordial Energy.

Originally, the area around Evil God Mountain was occupied by members of the Ten Great Families, but after Ji Liuying announced the sealing of the Secret Realm last time, they all evacuated.

When Chen Guan arrived at Evil God Mountain, there weren’t many human cultivators left, only some Ji Family cultivators stationed on the outskirts.

Chen Guan presented the pass granted by Ji Liuying and smoothly entered Evil God Mountain.

Evil God Mountain is a vast mountain range, with a width no less than that of Tear Luo Desert, and perhaps even larger.

The Gold-Winged Silkworm grows only in some hidden shady valleys, so after scanning the map, Chen Guan spent considerable time before locating a valley hosting the Gold-Winged Silkworm.

Seeing a streak of golden light fly by, Chen Guan casually pointed his finger and sliced the incoming Gold-Winged Silkworm into two halves.

Unfortunately, it did not yield a Secret Skill Core.

While Chen Guan hunted the Gold-Winged Silkworms in the Evil God Mountain range, the election reached its most fervent final sprint.

The Xiu Family and Chief Judge Qi were making every last effort to garner more votes.

Due to the Ji Family’s announcement sealing the Great Cave Heaven, they could not meet Ji Liuying and had to assume the Ji Family would cast abstention votes.

These remaining family votes were fiercely contested by both sides.

On election day, various forces gathered at the Ancestral Court, making this election exceptionally lively.

The decennial reelection, which previously raised little commotion over hundreds of years and remained unobserved by the general cultivator population, had always seen Chief Judge Qi unopposed.

Yet this time, the Ancestral Court saw a convergence of heroes from all quarters. Besides the Family Heads voting on behalf of the Celestial King, many strong individuals also made their way to the Ancestral Court.

Chen Guan arrived at the Ancestral Court with Ji Nanhong, both eager to witness Qi Tianxin being ousted from the Ancestral Court.

Only by expelling Qi Tianxin from the Ancestral Court would they have a chance to confront him and settle their grudge against Qi Tianxin.

Accompanying Chen Guan were Duan Shulin and Bai Xiuyan, who had both reached the Ninth Awakening Level of strength.

Especially Bai Xiuyan, whose level was nearing perfection.

Duan Shulin, not being part of the Ten Great Families, did not need to keep a low profile and directly joined Chen Guan to enjoy the lively spectacle.

When Chen Guan and his group reached Dongcheng District, they immediately drew considerable attention.

Many saw Chen Guan, who had always been guarding the Southern Heavenly Kingdom without entering the Great Cave Heaven, boldly appearing at the Ancestral Court, yet he seemed unafraid of any assassination attempts.

Chen Guan, indeed, felt no fear. With his current strength, not even a Celestial King could easily harm him.

Had Qi Tianxin not remained Chief Judge, Chen Guan would have already contemplated facing him in a contest of strength.

As long as Qi Tianxin held the position of Chief Judge, with his status and authority, the Ten Great Families could not allow him to be humiliated or assassinated in plain daylight.

The group settled into the penthouse of the most luxurious hotel in Dongcheng District, where Chen Guan, watching the bright cityscape outside the window, remembered something.

Chen Xinghe had told him there was a Hundred Families Stone at the Ancestral Court, where he had hidden something.

If Chen Guan had the opportunity to access it, he could check if the item remained.

Though Chen Xinghe did not specify what the item was, he suggested that retrieving it might offer a surprise.

This time, Chen Guan could enter the Ancestral Court with Xiu Jie Ming for the election, and thus he planned to inspect the Hundred Families Stone to see if Chen Xinghe’s hidden item was still there.

The election atmosphere was intense, with campaign slogans visible throughout the four districts. The large screens on supermarket facades continuously aired candidates’ campaign speeches and policies they intended to implement upon becoming Chief Judge.

This was mainly for the ordinary public, who lacked voting rights, yet reassuring the populace seemed worth the effort.

Without hesitation, Chen Guan officially joined Xiu Jie Ming’s camp, where Xiu Jie Ming personally greeted him outside the office building.

"With our combined forces, this election is destined for victory," Xiu Jie Ming said with a smile.

"Chief Judge Xiu, it sounds perfectly fitting. It is indeed predestined for you to assume the Chief Judge’s position," Chen Guan replied.

"Commander Chen also sounds commendable," Xiu Jie Ming remarked.

Both exchanged smiles as Xiu Jie Ming ushered them inside.

On election day, everyone followed Xiu Jie Ming to the grand hall of the Ancestral Court.

Chen Guan continually took in all the sights within the Ancestral Court, having seen much online, yet this was his first in-person encounter.

Through the main entrance lay a plaza, at its center stood a massive jade stone stele, towering a hundred meters high, appearing quite magnificent.

The face of the jade stele was inscribed with the Hundred Family Surnames, while the rear detailed the origins and legendary tales of various surnames.

"This is the Hundred Families Stone. I wonder if Dad’s item is still here?" Passing by the Hundred Families Stone, Chen Guan examined it thoroughly.

Upon locating the Chen Family section on the stone, Chen Guan scrutinized it carefully, detecting no anomaly.

The Chen character resembled the other inscribed surnames, with no special sensation to discern.

"Looks like I’ll need an opportunity to try Dad’s method; today is election day, a good chance perhaps. Once everyone is inside the hall and the election begins, I can sneak out and give it a try." Chen Guan resolved to revisit later.

Following Xiu Jie Ming and Xiu Yingmei into the great hall, he saw Qi Tianxin and others had already entered.

The entire hall was semicircular; Qi Tianxin’s faction occupied the left one-third of the stands, with Qi Tianxin and his wife, Feng Wuci, seated at the forefront.
