The Demonic World I designed-Chapter 673 - 663: Open Strategy

"Is there such a thing?"

Inside Digital City, numerous family clans had received the news. During the meeting, the family representatives became solemn, and they even summoned the often-wandering Wang Ye and Mister Tianji from the Federation.

Wang Ye looked very surprised, "I wonder, what is wrong with such an arrangement?"

In the meeting room, a group of high-ranking officials immediately frowned.

The grassroots powerhouses of the Immortal Executioner Realm had been implanted with a disintegration program when they first entered. While in the realm, they were stripped of their resources. Still, they managed to carve a path through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, either taking the Demonic Path or, due to excellent innate talents, survived in Zhu Xian and became experts.

Though these people were controlled by the government with the disintegration program, the major families had been intentionally wooing and showing them respect over the years. At least the atmosphere had become more harmonious, and many benefits for their offspring were promised. Many had gradually stopped caring about the so-called disintegration program, knowing that as long as they didn’t make a principal mistake, the government wouldn’t easily use that thing.

But now... with a new race track introduced, it would once again evoke their memories of being enslaved.

To willingly give up one’s deserved chance, could they still be won over this time?

"Chen Qing is doing this on purpose, isn’t she?" a middle-aged woman from the Hou Family asked darkly.

Because of her important position, she couldn’t go to that world immediately. Now they were telling her that many good spots were gone because she was late; not to mention outsiders, even as an insider of the family, she felt unbalanced.

"What kind of reasoning is this?" Wang Ye frowned and said, "The situation in the Northern Wasteland is tense, a great war may break out at any time, and the families there are alienated from us. It’s necessary to take the roots of their families through the Rebirth Cauldron, to really take control of the court and the people. Using your people to carry out this plan, isn’t it because of trust in you?"

"And besides, what that judge from hell said wasn’t wrong either. The descendants of a good family have better resources, can receive better training from childhood, and if they take the martial path, they are likely to have more advantages than others. What’s wrong with letting better people take better births?"

The crowd paused, finding no fault with these words for a moment. Indeed, if someone were willing to cede the birth in a major local family to them, they could hardly say it was intentional.

But then...

"But why is it allowed to switch places?" a middle-aged man said grimly.

"That should not be the case." Wang Ye nodded, "The judge of hell in Northern Wolf City is new, probably hoping to have more high-quality souls reside there to quickly gain more karma and establish the judge of hell, hence they are willing to pay any price to keep all the Otherworldly Spirits. In this situation, I will write a letter for the Emperor to intervene, to prevent such things from happening."

The room fell silent immediately.

Are they joking? Had they come here to put a stop to this? They simply felt that what Chen Qing did was not secretive enough. It would have been better to directly allocate the good positions to the major families rather than openly distribute them based on quality and then force family descendants to use their privileges.

But now that they’ve opened their mouths, how could they take it back?

"Ahem..." One of the middle-aged councilmen coughed lightly, not continuing the awkward topic but directly said, "We’ve asked Mister Wang here mainly to discuss something."

"What is it?" Wang Ye looked at him.

"About the matter of the birth quota for the major families," the councilman said. "Initially, we didn’t know about this layering, and we failed to discuss it properly with Chen Qing. Now that we think about it, it doesn’t seem right. We still have many high-quality spirits that have not entered your world, but those quotas were allocated to those who went first, which is a huge imbalance. Therefore, we hope to reserve a batch of quotas..."

"I’m afraid that’s not possible..." Wang Ye shook his head.

"Why?"

"Do you think that reincarnation has a quota whenever you wish to reincarnate?" Wang Ye looked at them amusedly.

The others paused, confused for a moment, "This... Is there some mystery behind it?"

"Well, let’s consider, for instance, one of you wants to be reborn into a direct lineage of one of the four great families’ three branches. But how would we know when they are going to have a legitimate offspring? What if the husband and wife of that branch are not harmonious and have never shared a bed? Instead, what if he finds an old flame outside and has children there?"

Everyone suddenly realized. Indeed, they had never given much thought to how this supposed reincarnation by the judge of hell actually worked.

"You wouldn’t think that if our Underworld Administration determined a spirit to be born into a certain family, that family must give birth to one as we have dictated, right?" Wang Ye said with amusement.

"This..." Everyone reacted at once, realizing the point. Indeed, if the Underworld Administration decreed it, and then the living world immediately got pregnant according to their wishes, that would be like a causality weapon. The Underworld Administration would be far too frightening.

"So how does your Underworld Administration operate? Could it be..... after someone gets pregnant..."

"Exactly!" Wang Ye laughed, "After a woman gets pregnant, the embryo has no spirit. It’s only after nine months, when the baby develops its own consciousness, that a spirit settles in and true reincarnation takes place."

"I see..." A wave of understanding swept over those gathered at the meeting, but their expressions grew increasingly grave.

The explanation shouldn’t be false, and it seemed more reasonable for the Underworld Administration to operate this way. When a good family has a pregnancy, the Underworld Administration, upon hearing the news, can arrange for a soul with abundant fortune and virtue to reincarnate, thus ensuring such smooth control.

But for them, it wasn’t good news.

It meant that they couldn’t control the opportunities for good reincarnations. Once missed, by the time they got there, there probably wouldn’t be any good spots left.

After all..... after giving birth to one, they would need at least two years of recovery, wouldn’t they?

Two years later..... whether or not there will be any opportunities is a question!

For a moment, the council members seated around were entangled with this dilemma, fearing that the good positions in Digital City would become increasingly scarce...

Wang Ye watched their indecision, shaking his head.

No wonder the emperors of great dynasties didn’t like the powerful families. Indeed, these families monopolized resources, which wasn’t good for public or private interests. Looking at the so-called Digital City he had been in for a month, all they advertised was freedom, fairness, democracy..... how laughable.

The dynasties of tens of thousands of years had long been infiltrated by these great families in every aspect. It was nearly impossible for those below to rise up, and Wang Ye did not wish for the world Chen Qing created to repeat this pattern.

The problem was that everyone wanted their family to prosper, and those with power would naturally favor their children. Over time, this would lead to the monopolization of resources and the formation of powerful families, blocking others’ paths to ascension. How could this issue be resolved?

This big problem, which had troubled countless emperors throughout history, was naturally beyond the thinking of a demon who had only spent a few decades in the mortal world.

Now, he was quite looking forward to seeing how Chen Qing would address this problem.

But that was assuming he could complete his own mission.

Wang Ye leaned back, recalling how Chen Qing had promised to let him experience the so-called original world. That guy always made sure he got a good deal, and the tasks he gave were always difficult.

Investigating the mastermind who quietly concealed Pu YunChuan’s data was still without any leads, and the second task... to be honest, was hardly easier than the first, and it might even be more difficult.

To eliminate the disintegration program.....

What a joke that was. This program was key for the Federation’s powerful families to control the grassroots population. It was not something that could be easily eliminated. Thinking of this, he touched his fingers, and no one noticed that on Wang Ye’s palm, an eye had appeared.

---------------------------

In the northern Red Light District of Digital City, which was officially recognized as a legitimate enterprise, in the current situation of extreme exploitation of labor, an entertainment outlet for venting would seem inhumane if it was also prohibited.

Today, the Red Light District was unusually booming, a rare sight since the recent turmoil in Digital City.

The previous unrest had impacted the economy, with many of the citizens of Digital City seeing their stocks plummet. Naturally, fewer people could afford entertainment, especially this week as everyone’s attention was focused on the so-called new world, leading to a significant decrease in attention to the Red Light District and frighteningly poor business.

Business owners in this district, each ready to close for a while to rest, were surprised by the sudden influx of customers today...

And crucially..... they were all new faces!
