Chapter 1692 - 945: Introducing Special Talent from the Lower Realm

"Gentlemen, put this video on the trending list!"

Boom!

In an instant, the video’s popularity surged, quickly attracting attention within the Wanfa Sect, especially from many cultivators on the 16th level.

"24-hour work, isn’t this just working to death, never-ending? They’re treating us like Lower Realm people."

"Sigh, thinking about it now... 4-hour work, plus ’paid overtime’ isn’t entirely without merit."

"More and more companies are following suit. If this continues... won’t Zhang Yu implement 24-hour work wherever he goes?"

This video’s sudden emergence instantly sparked a heated discussion within the Wanfa Sect.

Following this, many Tribulation Crossing cultivators, including Zhu Yan, spoke up, criticizing Zhang Yu’s reform methods as too brutal, which would lead to serious consequences.

Zhu Yan: "Freezing the ’four-hour work’ and ’paid overtime’ measures on the 16th level is too simplistic and direct. It doesn’t align with reality, adapt to local conditions, or consider the different circumstances of different companies."

"After the average working hours increase, the major companies’ demand for staff will reduce dramatically."

"Everyone, a large wave of unemployment is imminent. Please be prepared."

"But unemployment is just the beginning. As more people become jobless, consumption will decrease, and the revenues of major companies will also diminish. Everything will enter a vicious cycle..."

"Legal reform is correct, but Zhang Yu is too hasty and his approach is too radical. The side effects are very likely to outweigh the positive effects. He should slow down and think it over..."

Zhang Yu’s gaze swept over the various messages as Zhan Xian spoke in his mind: "These guys don’t dare to criticize the legal reform, so they’re saying we didn’t do it right, didn’t reform well. This suggests... their true intention is still to delay."

"But what exactly is the purpose of their delay?"

The Kao Sect Avatar said: "Alarmist talk! It’s causing sect unrest! They’re damaging the sect’s interests, and every second lost is the Immortal Emperor’s money! Aren’t we going to act?"

Zhan Xian said: "It’s not the right time yet, wait a little longer."

Days later, seemingly responding to these criticisms, several companies soon announced large-scale layoffs, stating that only a small number of employees working 24 hours would suffice to maintain their original business.

For a moment, countless cultivators on the 16th level were unsettled, all worried about the unemployment wave triggered by the Law Freeze.

As Zhang Yu was pondering this, suddenly more news about him emerged.

"Be wary of the unauthorized operations involving Lower Realm Soul Cultivators entering the sect."

"Why can a Lower Realm high school classmate become a Divinity Transformation Soul Cultivator? Lower Realm high school teachers are already working in the sect?"

"Why hasn’t a case of a Lower Realm Soul Cultivator impersonating an Upper Realm Soul Cultivator been resolved?"

Upon seeing these reports, Zhang Yu could immediately imagine how public opinion would shift.

He glanced at the comments under the news reports, and indeed, they were filled with various criticisms from cultivators.

"Bringing a Lower Realm high school classmate and teacher into the sect to work, how is this different from making your own Yang Artifact a police baton?!"

"This Zhang Chuxu, while causing unemployment, also brings Lower Realm people to compete for jobs with us. Can he truly handle legal reforms properly?"

In a blink of an eye, public opinion began to shift swiftly, with more and more cultivators starting to criticize Zhang Yu’s methods.

Snake Desire Venerable watched the rapid shift in public opinion and nodded slightly: "In areas not yet occupied by Zhang Yu’s True Domain, more people are worried about 24-hour overwork and unemployment, thus opposing the freeze of laws."

"This will greatly delay Zhang Yu’s pace in expanding the True Domain of Laws."

"But this is still not enough... it’s time to launch the next move."

And thinking of the power, devastation, and danger of this move, even he felt a chill down his spine.
