After a round of arguments, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
Regarding the activation of humanity-wide protection measures for Gu Ding, within the Emperor Clans, the Asdero Family and the Di Family remained supportive. The Gu Family opposed it, but Old Madam Gu supported it. As for the remaining two families, the Moon God Race and the Soli Family remained neutral.
Among the Twelve Great Top Noble Clans, the Qian Family stood firmly behind Gu Ding, having already gained considerable benefits from him. The Qian Family head even somewhat superstitiously believed that Gu Ding was the Qian Family's lucky star. However, the Robb Family was firmly opposed. The other families were basically neutral.
The remaining noble families and factions had no voting rights. They were here merely to serve as witnesses.
Humanity-wide protection measures could not be activated casually.
First, the proposal had to be jointly initiated by the Five Ancestors of the Emperor Clan. If even one of the five ancestors opposed it, the proposal could not be established.
Since Old Madam Gu had put forward the proposal at this time, it was clear that none of the five ancestors had objected, which was why the proposal had been established.
Second, the proposal could only truly pass if it was collectively approved by the Five Great Emperor Clans and the Twelve Great Families.
Third, the proposal had to be witnessed by all first-rate noble families and five-star factions present. If any family or faction had objections to the proposal, they could raise them on the spot. So long as their objections were reasonable, the proposal could enter comprehensive review.
Although Old Madam Gu knew that the chances of this proposal passing directly were slim, she still spoke.
"Further arguments are meaningless. Let us begin the vote directly! Representatives
