The Immortal Sect had reached a consensus from top to bottom: reform was inevitable.
But if they wanted to strengthen the Immortal Sect's potential and power, which direction should reform take?
There were only two possible directions.
"Everyone,"
"Let me offer a humble suggestion to start us off."
Flower Vine, a Soul Integration Divine Lord and citizen representative, rose to her feet. She had once been a Skullblood Vine Demon, but after passing through the Immortal Sect's Ascension Tribulation, she was now human. "Immortal Sect citizenship is limited to beings born on the home planet. That is far too restrictive. Such narrowness cannot give us an advantage in the perilous struggle for the Dao across the endless stars."
"When it comes to attracting talent, the Immortal Sect cannot even compare to a well-run Immortal Order!"
"At least a well-run Immortal Order can draw the greatest prodigies from throughout its territory, nurture them into Dao Children, and use them to strengthen the order."
"If the Immortal Sect wants a greater advantage in the perilous competition among the endless stars, establishing a universal Immortal Sect is imperative!"
"If talent from beyond the stars is useful, the Immortal Sect should employ it. We should disregard origins and promote people solely on merit. The Immortal Sect is a universal Immortal Sect, an Immortal Sect for the endless stars. One day, it will become a true gateway to immortality!"
"How could the gateway to immortality of the future be confined to a single family or lineage?"
"That is all I have to say."
Flower Vine sat down.
The entire meeting hall fell silent.
Many citizens watched with darkened eyes, saying nothing as countless tangled emotions rose in their chests.
Many of those emotions carried a cold malice.
