The Scarlet Alliance State's Karmic Fortune Sacrifice
The four flags were planted in the four cardinal directions of the Scarlet Alliance State, with the last flag landing at the main entrance of the Luofu Imperial Palace.
From the magnificent imperial palace to the Twilight Years Mansion, and now to the flagpole for sacrificial rites, the functions of the former dynastic power center have constantly changed, adapting to the needs of the times.
How could this be?
Standing under the sacrificial flag, Li Yingbo raised his head, feeling as if golden light flashed in his eyes.
He had never felt this way before; as he reached up, he felt as if he were grasping the entire Scarlet Alliance State.
This was a very unbelievable thing, and even Li Yingbo found it somewhat unbelievable.
He once cultivated to a state of Realm Entry attainment, transforming into a giant tree and thus overlooking the earth. The current situation is similar, but belongs to a different direction.
This means that the Fortune Technique is also a system of cultivation, which explains why Li Yingbo had this strange feeling.
If he continues to cultivate and improve, he might also be able to develop many other abilities.
"Zhouzi, you should know about the cultivation of the Fortune Technique system, why don't you take on the role of chairman yourself?"
The feeling of delusion lingered in Li Yingbo's heart for several minutes until everything subsided. Only then did the golden light in Li Yingbo's eyes fade, and the sense of control over the world disappeared from his hands.
He glanced at Zhang Xuezhou, who had stopped muttering to himself, and chose to ask directly.
"I'm not feeling well!"
That's not a problem!
"Becoming the chairman is just the most basic requirement; gaining the people's support is the real challenge. I can't do those things; I can only try to get by through the rituals!"
In the past order of the Scarlet Alliance State, it was extremely difficult to rise to a high position, and becoming the chairman involved the interests of many parties.
In the midst of successive upheavals, many chains of interest have been severed, and the rules have changed accordingly.
If Zhang Xuezhou wanted to become the chairman, Li Yingbo felt there would be no problem and the transfer of power in the committee would go very smoothly.
Even if Zhang Xuezhou were to lie in bed for half a month, or even if Zhang Xuezhou only worked one day a month, they could still ensure Zhang Xuezhou retained his position.
When Zhang Xuezhou explained the pros and cons and mentioned that imperial strategies involved conditions such as prestige and territorial expansion, Li Yingbo felt that he himself was also unqualified.
Gaining public support sounds simple, but achieving the necessary conditions is extremely difficult.
The fact that ordinary people, who had previously been so unremarkable, were now connected to destiny was undoubtedly a major test for Li Yingbo.
The Aomeijia Alliance united its people through disaster and eliminated many dissenting voices. The Scarlet Alliance State could not simply copy the book; it could only move towards a practical approach to development.
Looks like I'll have to appear on camera more often!
The Scarlet Alliance State Council controls the country as a whole, but it doesn't appear in public often; most matters are handled by personnel in the civil service.
Li Yingbo also dislikes being in the public eye, but in the absence of a better way, his appropriate public appearances to promote and endorse the development of the national system best meet the needs of the Fortune Technique.
With so many requirements, it's no wonder Zhang Xuezhou mentioned that he couldn't do it.
"It feels like our current development system touches on everything a little bit!"
Luo Burang, who was participating in the ceremony, looked up and felt that the Gene Sequence developed by so many people were like the Thousand Islands Alliance model, getting a little bit of everything, but not reaching the ultimate in anything.
"In reality, that is indeed our current situation!"
He raised his doubts, and Zhang Xuezhou had to admit that what they had gained was no different from that of the Thousand Islands Alliance; they were all just trying to make a little money from various sources in order to seek their own development.
If we were to compare the real world with the Three Realms, the difference in their cultivation levels would be worlds apart.
Even compared to the worlds of cultivators like Hu Yu, they are not on the same level.
The Gene Sequence of the real world combine Realm Technique, Technique Method, Fortune Technique, gene grafting and fusion, and the imitation of Law Treasure, making them look like a hodgepodge, but this is the inevitable process that backward worlds must go through.
For them at present, it is crucial to transform the adoption of foreign ideas into their own development, and localization will be a long-term goal.
However, being behind in cultivation does not mean being behind in development. Compared to other worlds, the Scarlet Alliance State has a more advanced system and extremely high social productivity.
In a world dominated by cultivators, strength becomes an insurmountable ladder for mortals, and their monopolistic dominance hinders development.
Any one of the Kunlun gods would be considered to have an extraordinary status in the real world, but these once dominant deities did not change the world; instead, they were caught up in the battles between high-level cultivators.
In higher-dimensional worlds, tribal and slave systems even exist. The limited number of elites is insufficient to enable rapid generational changes and hinders the advancement of cultivation.
While there are underdeveloped areas in the real world, Zhang Xuezhou is optimistic about their development prospects and even encourages newcomers to participate in their development.
Having experienced it firsthand, he is full of hope for the future.
"If too many people participate, won't this trigger factional infighting and lead to a split?"
"We haven't developed yet, so we don't need to worry about conflicts after we succeed!"
"That's true!"
Li Yingbo tends to be more cautious, while Zhang Xuezhou is more focused on immediate development and will address any future problems later.
After a brief exchange, Li Yingbo wholeheartedly agreed. He was also glad that the current model of the Scarlet Alliance State was not a one-man show, and that everyone was capable of admitting and correcting their mistakes.
This wasn't just the case with Li Yingbo; it was also true for Ren Yisheng, Zhang Xuezhou, and others. After making mistakes and being punished, they would immediately correct them.
In just over a decade, the Scarlet Alliance State has become a top-tier group.
If the world were not changing so rapidly, their advantage would be sufficient to maintain long-term dominance.
Li Yingbo doesn't lament the confusion brought about by the changing times; his current focus is simply on keeping up with the pace of development to adapt to an increasingly fast-paced world.
Luo Burang is enthusiastic about researching exoskeleton devices, while Li Yingbo seeks to appear on camera more often to expand his influence and genuinely promote the living and development space of ordinary people.
When will this ritual begin? Do we have to wait another ninety days?
Zhao Tianhua glanced at Zuo Teng, who was still visibly excited, and then leaned forward to ask another question.
"It will be open soon!"
Zhang Xuezhou gazed at Li Yingbo.
Li Yingbo is currently far from achieving the public prestige of Grean, but he cannot stop Huang Daoxian from developing his fortune in the Scarlet Alliance State.
These energies accumulated over a century, yet lacked human intervention; when scattered, they spread in all directions, and when gathered, they coalesced into one.
The golden light of fortune that had once dissipated in Dongshan seemed to flow endlessly down towards Li Yingbo like water from the heavens, bringing it together once more.
Zhang Xuezhou was unsure when he could initiate the second sacrifice on Li Yingbo, but he knew that the first fortune sacrifice could be initiated now.
