The contents of Fang Yun's second Sage Edict were simple. At the cost of his own sacred power, he would perform Literary Talent Infusion for every woman whose name appeared on the golden roll. At the same time, he would relinquish the Literary Star Fragment in his possession and cast it into the space above the Saint Origin Continent, exclusively supplying Literary Star Force to the continent's women.
Everyone understood the implication behind the Sage Edict: women would not compete with men for literary qi or Literary Star Force. All their power would come from Fang Yun.
After reading this Sage Edict, even those who had opposed him most fiercely fell silent.
Everyone knew what this would cost Fang Yun.
Once a Half-Sage bestowed his literary qi on someone else, it was spent forever. It could not recover as it did after the use of War Poetry.
Never mind Fang Yun-even Sage Kong would have affected his own Sacred Way had he done such a thing in his day.
For all Sage Kong's selflessness and greatness, he had only distributed his literary qi among the Sages and the Human Race after his death.
Yet Fang Yun was doing this while still alive, and at a time when he needed to advance to Second Saint.
What a spirit of selfless sacrifice this was!
Compared to Fang Yun, all the Sages of the Myriad Worlds paled.
Fang Yun was simply the noblest Saint in the Myriad Worlds!
He was a true gentleman who stood shoulder to shoulder with Sage Kong!
Some scholars read the Sage Edict over and over on the discourse ranking, their eyes even reddening.
After days of debate, most scholars understood that allowing women to participate in the Imperial Examination would strengthen the Human Race to an unprecedented degree
