Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 528 - 300: A New Stage in the Association System (Part 2)
Especially Shen Yu, whose soul proportion is less than one ten-thousandth.
These individuals have only vague memories of their past lives, incomplete.
Although their life level has been rapidly elevated, it still doesn’t reach the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, only the Golden Immortal.
This disparity already sufficiently explains the future changes within the Association.
This is also the main content of this meeting.
After all the Shen Yu’s shared their respective world’s circumstances, Shen Yu stood on stage to commence this important agenda.
"The members of the Association are beginning to show differences in power, and the gap in levels and status will inevitably appear." His gaze passed over everyone, "We should plan ahead and be prepared. I have already prepared a rough scheme, and everyone can vote and discuss."
Shen Yu directly projected the scheme in front of everyone.
Now, Shen Yu has been managing this giant entity for over ten years. For such a scheme, no assistance from others is needed; he can perfect it by himself.
He divided the entire Association into seven levels.
At the highest level is the Association Chairman, directly held by Shen Yu himself, with primary powers including making final decisions when disputes arise in discussions, coordinating the use of the Gray Mist within the Association, resolving conflicts between different worlds, ensuring the execution of Association rules, etc.
Simply put, it’s a role that does not possess all power but can assist the entire Association’s operation at key points.
Somewhat similar to the monarch in a constitutional monarchy.
It perfectly suits Shen Yu’s position.
After all, as the main body, he has the highest "authority" against all Shen Yu, which is the greatest deterrent and the largest guarantee of the Association’s structural integrity and internal cohesion.
Previously, when there were fewer people, internal unity could be guaranteed by emotion and trust. But once the numbers increase, especially those Shen Yu who lack many memories of Shen Yu, it inevitably leads to a profit-first atmosphere.
Shen Yu’s presence can greatly reduce this atmosphere.
The second tier is called the Presidium.
This means that all within it are Vice-chairmen.
The number is limited to five.
They follow a rotation system.
Members within the Presidium are only selected from those at the highest extraordinary level.
In other words, only those Shen Yu, whose souls occupy more than one ten-thousandth of the main body soul, unless, subsequently, some Shen Yu reach this height through their efforts.
This rule is also indispensable.
In the currently known All Heavens World, overall, it’s still an environment dominated by extraordinary powers.
Extraordinary levels, in most cases, represent power itself.
And the Association needs power. Having enough power is what can save the world, not the so-called equality.
The current five people in the Presidium are Wizard Shen Yu, Interstellar Shen Yu, High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu, Cultivator Shen Yu, and Magic Shen Yu.
Yes, Martial Artist Shen Yu is excluded.
He decided it himself voluntarily.
Below the Presidium are five levels of members.
This is relatively simple.
It comprehensively considers Shen Yu’s own strength and the level of their civilization.
If it were solely based on the level of the civilization they belong to, among the twenty-three Shen Yu present, many of their worlds would only meet the Level One Member standard.
But currently, they’re all Level Five.
Because their strength can at least reach the Golden Immortal level.
In the All Heavens World, this is already very high; not many subsequent worlds can reach this level.
After all the schemes were presented, Shen Yu looked at the now substantial group and said softly, "If anyone has any opinions about this management system, feel free to propose."
Silence in the room.
Everyone was pondering, but no one offered any opinions.
This naturally isn’t because they were wary of Shen Yu’s authority but because this scheme is indeed very refined, at least very suitable for the current Association.
In addition to structural reasons, there’s also the reason that all of them have similar personalities.
Even those few Shen Yu whose soul proportion is outside of one ten-thousandth, and who don’t have complete memories from their past lives, are the same.
At least at this proportion, their personalities will still be influenced by Shen Yu.
So, no one proposed demanding more fairness or a more equal system.
They all understood that Shen Yu and themselves are standard pragmatists.
Meaningless slogans or overly idealistic ideologies would not be accepted.
So, this scheme was directly implemented.
This also marks that the All Heavens End-of-the-World Civilization Mutual Aid Association officially enters its second stage today.
At least, until the number reaches hundreds or thousands, the current regulations can operate smoothly.
After the meeting concluded, Shen Yu and the Presidium members held a smaller meeting.
"The newly emerging worlds, though they provide little Gray Mist, also consume little Gray Mist." With a wave of Shen Yu’s hand, some fairy tea from Bodhi Ancestor appeared before everyone. After taking a sip, he continued, "The situations in those worlds can be easily resolved with our abilities, without needing to use the Gray Mist. However, Gray Mist is not very meaningful just by existing in hand; it must be reasonably used to convert into tangible strength."
Indeed, this Presidium meeting was to discuss the consumption of Gray Mist.
Currently, the total count of the Association’s Gray Mist has reached an unprecedented number.
A full trillion!
Yes, one followed by eighteen zeros.
All thanks to Shen Yu’s world.
In the previous war, Shen Yu essentially saved seventy thousand parallel universes once.
Even though these parallel universes do not involve high-level extraordinary worlds, combined, they still form an astounding scale.
Enough to directly elevate one’s realm to the Daluo Golden Immortal level when resources are scarce.
That would only require forty trillion Gray Mist.
"First, we should still try our best to collect relevant resources." Interstellar Shen Yu spoke, "Even if Gray Mist is abundant, it should still be used sparingly, as there may not be many opportunities to acquire such a large amount of Gray Mist at once in the future."
Everyone slightly nodded.
Being affluent doesn’t mean squandering recklessly.
The greatest strength of Gray Mist has always been its universal attribute; using it in areas that can be replaced is too wasteful.
"Secondly, I think we should accelerate the development of the extraordinary scientific research pathway." Interstellar Shen Yu continued, "The enemies in Main Body Shen Yu’s world have already demonstrated the potential of using technology to apply extraordinary pathways. This is a technical route that requires long-term development and can help us solve different types of apocalypse more effortlessly."
Everyone nodded again.
Pure extraordinary power has its shortcomings.
That is, it lacks the ability to be widely implemented.
No matter how much it develops, how it is cultivated, ultimately only a few can reach high levels.
When facing certain types of apocalypse, it’s often hard to cope.
Such as in Main Body Shen Yu’s world.
Even Hongjun Ancestor, facing the combined forces of enemies and the Heavenly Dao itself, is powerless.
"The development of technology in this area, at present, mainly relies on me and Wizard Shen Yu." Interstellar Shen Yu finally voiced his idea, "Thus, I propose the establishment of a technological extraordinary domain development fund, co-applied by me and Wizard Shen Yu. Every allocation can be reviewed by all of you, and relevant technological outcomes belong to the Association and can be used by everyone for free."
Suddenly, everyone fell into thought.
Evidently, Interstellar Shen Yu’s proposal also carries personal agendas.
