Chapter 1695 - 946: Zhang Yu, Just How Far Can Your Eyes See_3

"And now, with these two laws frozen, the Immortal Path environment is dramatically changing, and naturally, a new game will begin, causing Upper Cultivators and Lower Cultivators to vie for Immortal Dao Resources."

Fu Ji remarked, "It’s like in ancient times when the powerful could change everything with a single thought, Spirit Veins shifted, the Cave Heaven Blessed Land was singular, and mid- and lower-level cultivators waged wars for interests."

"Now, similarly, the powerful above make sweeping changes with a thought, altering the operation of rules within the sect, causing dramatic shifts in the Immortal Path environment, and mid- and lower-level cultivators also begin to fight for interest."

Zhang Yu glanced at the data from the Spirit Realm and Law Realm, and sighed inwardly, "In the new Immortal Path environment, everyone wants to pursue their interests from their own perspective."

"The Immortal Emperor wants the sweeping of laws, can endure a certain degree of growing pains, but it must be for long-term improvement."

"And most Lower Cultivators can tolerate unpaid overtime for a period, just seeking to increase their chances to climb the Immortal Path."

"Enterprises hope to take this opportunity to increase working hours per capita, reduce the number of workers, lower overall labor costs, and further increase profits, allowing leaders to go further on the Immortal Road."

Zhan Xian agreed, "If the fighting between the two sides continues to escalate, it will lead to turmoil in the sect, reducing the profits of Upper Cultivators."

"And as one of the leaders of this reform, what we need to do is to quickly reach a new balance, and complete the reform with minimal damage."

"Actually, for the Immortal Emperor, as long as the meat rots in the pot, whether the sect earns more or the employees earn more, he can accept. Perhaps he prefers the Lower Cultivators to earn a bit more... enabling him to walk more steadily and safely on the Immortal Road."

Fu Ji snorted coldly, "Zhang Yu, helping those Lower Cultivators is too troublesome; the quickest solution is to assist the enterprise side."

"In this struggle, enterprises have the advantage anyway, so if we lend them a hand to quickly suppress those resisting Lower Cultivators, we will surely reach a new balance sooner."

Zhan Xian said, "Help the enterprise? How many people will become unemployed, how many incomes will dramatically decrease? The entire consumption market..."

Fu Ji said, "Are only these poor Lower Cultivators capable of spending money? Who knows how to spend money?"

"With the heart towards Immortal Dao, who is saving money? Who can’t spend? Let the leaders earn more, they can spend more too! They can also form a new consumption market and pursue a high-end route."

Zhan Xian cursed, "Then billions of Lower Cultivators will oppose us! Zhang Yu’s True Domain of Laws will get slowed down!"

Kao Sect Avatar snorted coldly and said, "How long can it be dragged? How long can the unemployed survive? How can they oppose after they’re dead? Now some people are inciting behind the scenes, trying to add fuel to the fire to obstruct this reform. The pressing task is to alleviate the worries for the Immortal Emperor and ease the situation quickly."

"Let the unemployed bear with it a while longer; we’ll take the blame, and if the expansion of laws is slow, so be it. The Immortal Emperor can’t lose money, and as long as he’s satisfied, our path on the Immortal Road will naturally be smooth."

"Absurd!" Zhan Xian cursed, "Purely indulging the Immortal Emperor will hasten the arrival of the end times. Our assistance to the Immortal Emperor is not for his improvement, but to enable our own progress, to catch up with them faster..."

Kao Sect Avatar retorted, "You can’t do that. How can you not help the enterprises but help the employees? Protecting the enterprise is the foundation of the sect. These employees with hearts towards the Immortal Dao only seek personal benefits, demanding favors and creating significant internal consumption for sect operations. Without the Immortal Emperor wholeheartedly protecting the enterprise, the sect would have collapsed under these Lower Cultivators long ago."

Xiang Shen also chimed in, "Yes indeed, if we all help the enterprise suppress them, the employees have no bargaining chips!"

Amidst the continued arguments in Zhang Yu’s mind, Kao Sect Avatar, Fu Ji, and Xiang Shen verbally attacked Zhan Xian, relentlessly defeating him.

But in Fu Ji’s hopeful gaze, she heard Zhang Yu say, "Employees... have bargaining chips."

Fu Ji asked, "What bargaining chips?"

Zhang Yu replied, "I... am their bargaining chip."

"I’m representing them, negotiating with the company, helping them secure benefits, and they’re supporting me on the expansion of laws."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ji sighed deeply in her heart, "Why... why does Zhang Yu always choose such thankless paths? Truly wasted all my teaching."

The God of Reporting silently listened to the dialogue from beginning to end, silently thinking, "Fu Ji has always wanted to change Zhang Yu, outwardly... she’s arguing with Zhan Xian, but in reality... isn’t she debating with Zhang Yu?"

"While Zhang Yu’s choice seems thankless, taking the long route, it’s actually a real shortcut."

The God of Reporting contemplated the overall situation, silently thinking, "Immortal Emperor, enterprises, employees... if done according to Fu Ji’s method, then it’s a win-win for Immortal Emperor and enterprises, and a loss for employees. It seems like solving the trouble in the fastest way, but... what about the future?"

"Zhang Yu wants to freeze not just one or two laws; the first batch this year alone includes 17, then another pile in 20 years, including many laws during the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and a third batch in 50 years..."

"Once Zhang Yu suppresses the numerous Lower Cultivator employees, it will be remembered by many, so will those remaining not resist when he freezes other laws in the future? And people from other industries or other levels? They will likely be full of caution and opposition towards Zhang Yu from the outset."

"So once Zhang Yu does this, while initially the issues may be solved quickly, the future road will only get harder, as his laws face opposition from countless people outside the True Domain, slowing the expansion speed."

The God of Reporting silently gauged Zhang Yu’s thoughts, "But if this time he can achieve a win-win-win for Immortal Emperor, enterprises, and employees, it may seem troublesome and initially difficult, but as long as he persists, future freezes of laws and expansions will become smoother, facing less resistance... Isn’t this your true intention?"

"Zhang Yu, how far do your eyes see?"

While the God of Reporting mused, Zhan Xian was already invigorated, saying, "It should be done, respecting the Ten Thousand Laws Divine Sword, wielding billions of Flying Swords, exercising the power of moderation over ten thousand laws, this time harnessing the momentum of billions of Lower Cultivators. If we dare not negotiate with enterprises, how can we change Kunxu in the future?"

"But the first step is to clear the black marks on us."

Everyone understood that Zhan Xian was referring to Wang Hai and others.

Zhan Xian continued, "What must be done must be done, even if it means tearfully slashing Ma Su, we must resolve this matter. Zhang Yu... now is not the time for sentimentality."

Fu Ji thought, "Who is Ma Su?"

The God of Reporting was stirred, "Is it time to resolve Wang Hai and others? Heh, Zhang Yu... You can’t pretend anymore, can you? How can so-called old sentiments compare to your own Immortal Path prospects."

After a while, Zhang Yu had already summoned Zhao Tianxing, asking, "How have you been investigating Wang Hai’s matters?"

Zhao Tianxing said apprehensively, "Wang Hai and others were inadvertently dragged into a counterfeit case, but those contacting Wang Hai and others have already had their identities revoked, leaving no trace..."

"However, their identities are legitimate; they were introduced as Soul Cultivators, and as long as they maintain their Soul Cultivator status, they can continue working."

Following Zhao Tianxing’s detailed report to Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu remained silent for a moment before saying, "Prepare to gather Wang Hai and others; I want to revive them on live stream, at my own cost, then send them back from the sect."

Zhao Tianxing was shocked, silently lamenting that Wang Hai and others now likely have no chance to re-enter the sect, effectively severing their Immortal Road, with no hope in this lifetime.

Zhan Xian, upon hearing this, praised, "Good, in ancient times there was tearful slashing of Ma Su; now there’s you, Zhang Yu, reviving Wang Hai at your own expense for the greater good of Kunxu."
