They had reached a consensus on the two most important points, so the general framework for the Sequence Editor/Village Building Order was complete. There was still one procedure left, which might not be the most important, but was especially crucial to the collaborators. That procedure was fairness—also known as the Golden Scales.
The Golden Scales would evaluate the value of the assets invested by both parties, ensuring that no shady dealings occurred, minimizing their conflicts as much as possible, and guaranteeing the interests of all investors.
That was the proper way to do things.
Back then, Zhang Yang had first been maliciously overinvested by the World Will of the Immortal Cultivation World in the Third Sequence, which had tricked him out of his most important core asset.
Later, in the Ashen Graveyard, his Village Building Order had again been overinvested by Fate's Remnant. This time, however, the overinvestment was because his immortal sword contained the power of Heavenly God Changge.
In short, neither of those two investments had been balanced by the scales to maintain fairness, which had already doomed the final outcome.
"There are three materials commonly used for the Golden Scales in the Sequence Editor or Village Building Order: Snow Demon's Fur, Abyssal Listening Beast's Beard, and Ophite's Hair. Do you have any of these materials?"
Zhang Yang asked. All three were universally recognized throughout the Six Great Sequences and the Myriad Heavens and Worlds as the materials best suited to ensuring fairness. They were the least sensitive to various laws, so there was no need to worry about tampering.
"I have a strand of Ophite's Hair, but according to the fairest arrangement, you must also provide a material that can maintain fairness." The Abyssal Demon spoke solemnly.
"Of course. I have a strand of Snow Demon's Fur."
