Chapter 616 Star Gate Determination
Heaven, Jade Emperor Palace.
All the immortal officials above the fourth rank were present. This was neither a large court meeting nor a small court meeting. The emperor and empress summoned everyone suddenly, which naturally made the immortal officials guess secretly, but all of them guessed wrong.
"Everyone, You Wanli can finally move freely. He has obtained permission from the Saint Universe to build the Moon Watching Tower." The Queen said to the many Taiyi Immortal Officials with a smile, "The first batch of resources from the Saint Universe has also been registered and prepared for storage. In the future, we will conduct long-term transactions with the Saint Universe."
The immortal officials were in an uproar, and all of them showed surprise on their faces. To be honest, the current Eight Desolate Universe is very strong, very strong, but it is only a Daluo-level universe after all. Even if they are confident, it is hard to say that it can be compared with the Sage-level universe.
"Does the Emperor and Empress have any plans?" asked the clone of Master Tiange.
"You Wanli will be the main person this time," the empress said. "The Heavenly Court will just take care of the logistics. The Ministry of Commerce will work with You Wanli to select a group of people to go. You all have a place and can recommend your own disciples to participate. But let me make it clear in advance that everyone must listen to You Wanli, and those who do not follow the rules will be punished by each family."
"I have no objection." Master Tiange said seriously.
Even if the Emperor and Empress wanted to implement the law of collective responsibility, he had no objection. That was a saint-level universe. In such a vast universe, not many immortals could join the saint-level universe. Qianyu Daluo said that it was the saint-level universe that took the initiative to send the invitation.
But this kind of invitation stopped hundreds of millions of years ago, and no one knows what happened. Anyway, no immortal can enter the saint-level universe, and You Wanli was simply lucky to be able to enter.
Even if it is just a saint-level universe of the demon race, it doesn’t matter. In fact, when it comes to the Taiyi realm, there is no difference between humans and demons. There are more differences and collisions in thoughts and concepts, and they are similar in form.
What's more, the immortals don't actually care about the differences between humans and demons. Only some immortals who have hatred towards the demons can't let it go. Therefore, there will be battles between humans and demons on the Skynet battle platform. At present, it is still peaceful.
The main reason is that the Heavenly Court treats everyone equally. While paying attention to ability, it also takes care of the demon clan. For example, the main generals of the three expeditionary armies are all human Taiyi. This is because there are few Taiyi in the demon clan and they need to guard the clan.
But in terms of the number of Golden Immortals, the demon clan accounts for the majority, about 55%, which is more than the Taoist sects. There are also special demon armies among the heavenly soldiers and generals. All these can show that the Heavenly Court treats the demon clan equally.
However, the development potential of the demon race is indeed not as high as that of the human race. If it were not for Tu Ruoyan, Hu Shenjun and the fox race, I am afraid that the demon race would not be able to keep up with the development of the human race. Whether it is the multiverse or the Guifu universe, there are always more immortals in the human race.
Next, in the Jade Emperor Palace, the Emperor and Empress talked with the Taiyi Immortal Officials about the allocation of quotas. This time, You Wanli wanted to open up a business network in the Saint Universe, which required a lot of manpower, but they needed trustworthy people.
The first batch is mainly composed of people from the Heavenly Court, all of whom are from the Moon Watching Tower. In particular, the number of people in charge will increase, with a total of eighty Golden Immortals. Let’s not talk about the Celestial Immortals, because with the Five Deteriorations of the Celestial Beings, it would not be good to delay their tribulation. So, more True Immortals will be mobilized, which are more than enough to help.
There will be a small number of places released in this batch, which will be competed for by the immortal sects and Taoist sects. What they pay is a share of the profits and some other benefits. The competition among the immortal sects and Taoist sects is very fierce, mainly because the second batch will be hundreds of years later.
The reason for such a long interval is that the rules of the Saint-level universe are different. Whether it is from the Eight Desolate Universe or from the Guifu Universe, it is equivalent to going from a low-level universe to a high-level universe. The consumption is naturally not small, even very terrifying.
Under such circumstances, even the Heavenly Court could not afford it and could only send people over after hundreds of years. Moreover, the first batch of personnel would be given to skilled people as much as possible, so the number of places available would naturally be much smaller.
As for why everyone is competing so fiercely, the reason is obvious. That is a saint-level universe. Just transmitting some information back is very valuable, not to mention being able to make moves in advance and prepare for the future entry of the immortal sect into the saint-level universe.
On the one hand, the first batch going there was equivalent to following You Wanli to build an empire, and the second batch was ultimately not up to par. In short, the immortal sects and Taoist sects considered a lot and were determined to get these places, and in the end, the ones who benefited were the Heavenly Court and the Emperor and Empress.
The meeting lasted for several days, and everyone was competing and arguing. Finally, the emperor and empress made the decision and determined the number of places. Luotian Immortal Sect had only five places, Luofu Sect had only three, Lingyun Immortal Sect got one, and the rest were also one for each sect.
This result was far from satisfactory and each family was very dissatisfied, but none of them were ready to give up. They were all prepared to go back and select some smart guys. In short, they could not let the quota go to waste and they had to make good use of them to make a comeback, of course, in the future.
After the meeting, the news spread in a small circle.
Ever since Immortal Master Mo Hen took charge of the military, many news from the Heavenly Court were no longer circulated, because wherever it was circulated from would result in punishment, or even horrible attacks and liquidations. After a few times, no one dared to spread the news.
The emperor and empress also attached great importance to this aspect. They did not allow any palace maid to speak carelessly and established strict rules. Therefore, long ago, news from the Heavenly Palace was leaked out through the mouths of immortal officials, and the Heavenly Palace became increasingly strict.
Most of the immortals in the Eight Desolate Universe are familiar with You Wanli, because there are videos of You Wanli on the Internet, and many people watch them. In particular, You Shang highly respects this ancestor and his popularity is still very high.
This time, You Wanli turned a disaster into a blessing. Not only was he detained by the saint and forced to become a disciple, but now he can trade freely. It is really not easy. After the news came out, a group of traveling merchants were very excited, and they wanted to enter the saint's universe to broaden their horizons. Unfortunately, the number of places in heaven is limited, so it is naturally not their turn.
Despite this, Pei Dong'er, who was in charge of the Star Gate, still accepted the demands of the traveling merchants. One day when he came to the Imperial Garden to drink tea and chat with the emperor and empress, Pei Dong'er talked about this matter and couldn't help expressing his own views.
"In fact, I agree with their idea. Merchants need to travel around the world. The Saint Universe is so big, it's not bad to go and have a look." Pei Dong'er said, "It's just that the current merchants are not strong enough, but their ambitions are high. They are really useless."
When You Wanli ventured into the universe alone, he was prepared to die at any time. Some of the current traveling merchants came from the traveling merchants of the Xianshang Division before the expedition started. Some of them were responsible and had good character, while the other part came after the expedition started, and there are good and bad people with varying character.
"Everything is closely related to You Wanli's needs. Merchants are not important. The quota is precious and cannot be wasted." The Empress understood what she meant and asked, "Since you don't like merchants, do you have any ideas?"
"I think the previous classification of merchants is very good, and it just needs to be modified." Pei Dong'er nodded slightly, "I classify merchants as small world level, medium world level, large world level, small universe level, Golden Immortal Universe level, Taiyi Universe level, Daluo Universe level. You can go to the world or universe that suits your strength."
"Is that all?" the Empress asked with a smile.
"Of course, we will abide by the trading rules and transaction completion rate. These Heavenly Court assessment conditions remain unchanged, but strength is the most important." Pei Dong'er said, "Not only the merchants, but also the explorers and the universe wandering teams must be ranked. With the rank, they can climb up and fight hard, instead of being scattered like they are now."
It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that they are a group of scattered sand. In fact, the disciples of various immortal sects have performed well and are very united. In the universe, each sect will take care of each other, and even if there are life and death grudges, basically everyone who can help will help.
The main thing is that everyone has Skynet in their hands and they cannot sit idly by. Otherwise, when the Heavenly Court starts to investigate, it will be a big trouble. So we cannot say that this group of people is a group of scattered sand, we can only say that there is chaos, and it is not small.
Striving for the first place and for position are very important. All major forces are competing, and even the various departments of the Heavenly Court are secretly taking action. There is a lot of chaos caused by their fighting with each other, which is not convenient for management and will also consume resources.
"If you have an idea, just go for it. I will definitely support you with all my strength." The Empress smiled and said, "However, you must be prepared first. Prepare for the investigation and prepare for failure. I will also cover for you. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Pei Dong'er nodded with a smile.
She was very grateful to the Emperor and Empress for letting her manage the Star Gate. After the Star Gate was separated, it had nothing to do with the various departments of Heaven. Instead, it was managed directly by the Emperor and Empress. The various departments of Heaven needed to cooperate with each other. They were of the same generation and there was no question of who was higher or lower.
This directly changed her embarrassing situation. You must know that all the celestial concubines have their own domains. Ji Shuanghua is in charge of the Heavenly Academy, Tu Ruoyan has Lord Hu to help manage the demon clan, Chu Wuxia takes over the Judicial Heavenly Army, and Li Yueli is in charge of Chonglingtian.
Mei Xianren was the commander-in-chief and grand commander of the expeditionary army. Even the later Immortal Master Mo Hen, whom Mei Xianren called the Seventh Brother, was in charge of the military department. The fact that the latecomer was in power made her very embarrassed. Fortunately, the emperor and empress had made arrangements.
Star Gate is the hottest place at the moment. It has separated itinerant merchants from the Ministry of Commerce, and has the rights to review explorers and space wandering teams, as well as monitor entry and exit. It not only has a high voice, but more importantly, it also has great influence.
It was because of taking over the Star Gate that Pei Dong'er gradually gained supporters. Like Immortal Master Mo Hen, he became very popular and won everyone's recognition. Pei Dong'er also adapted to his current job and even wanted to do better.
Now that she had heard what the Emperor and Empress had said, she had nothing to worry about. In fact, as the Empress of Heaven, even if she did not do well, nothing would happen to her. Chen Jingzhai would not sit idly by. But on the one hand, Pei Dong'er was arrogant, and on the other hand, she was also convinced by the Emperor and Empress, so she was naturally cautious. Now it seems that the result is good.
I discussed a lot of related things with the Emperor and Empress. They also highly praised the determination of grades. With a grade system, management would not be as chaotic as it is now, and targeted allocations could be made, which would save a lot of trouble.
A few days later, Stargate announced the news and began to make changes. The first change was to the space wandering team. Stargate required a re-examination of each space wandering team. For the space wandering team with Taiyi gods and demons' clones, there were more stringent requirements. For example, the time that Taiyi clone spent on the battleship needed to be guaranteed.
According to Star Gate's plan, a cosmic wandering team requires at least one Golden Immortal to form. After that, ten Golden Immortals are the second level, the third level is one Taiyi, the fourth level is ten Taiyi, and the fifth level is Daluo.
This is a rigid standard. If you form a new space wandering team with only celestial immortals but not a golden immortal, it will not be able to pass the review of the Star Gate at all. In addition to immortals, the Star Gate also has requirements for warships.
In just three months, Stargate completed the reform of the space wandering team. Each space wandering team was graded and each team had a name, which was also the requirement of Stargate.
Next is the explorer. Explorers are actually the easiest because to become an explorer one must at least be a Golden Immortal. In fact, without Taiyi’s strength, it is simply wishful thinking to want to travel the universe alone.
Therefore, Star Gate does not directly rank people by strength, but rather by the mileage of exploration. Explorers start from zero, and exploring one universe is the first level, exploring three universes is the second level, the third level is exploring five universes, and exploring ten universes is the fourth level.
After the fourth level, the fifth level requires exploring one hundred universes. At this level, you can be called an explorer. In addition, the star gate also depends on time. The shorter the exploration time, the more powerful it is.
There is no need to worry that Stargate will not be able to know about their exploration. Skynet can automatically record the universes they have visited, and each one is marked, so there is no need to worry that Stargate will not be able to accurately review and rate them.
After 32,500 years in the Eight Desolations, Star Gate began to rank traveling merchants. Just as Pei Dong'er had said to the emperor and empress, they were also divided into nine levels. The first-level traveling merchants were at the small-world level, and the second-level traveling merchants were at the middle-thousand-world level.
The first two changes were fine, but the changes in the products and management of the traveling merchants really caused a huge stir, because the previous changes in the Universe Wandering Team were aimed at various forces, and these forces could not go against the wishes of the Queen of Heaven.
As for the explorers, since this is a personal matter, they will naturally not offend the Heavenly Concubine. It is simply stupid to jump out and cause trouble for this. However, it is different for itinerant merchants. There are a lot of them, and there are even some who try to take advantage of the situation.
Some of the universes that are not valued by the Heavenly Court will be surrendered to the gods, and there will be immortals who will act arrogantly and domineeringly under the guise of traveling merchants. It is not that the Heavenly Court is negligent in supervision, but that there is no way to control it. After all, traveling merchants have a high degree of freedom, and as long as they are trading, there will be no problem.
It is different now. In addition to the itinerant merchants determining the products, they also set tasks, have time limits, and even penalties. Therefore, Pei Dong'er's move caused quite a bit of turmoil, and many itinerant merchants were very dissatisfied.
But this was the will of the Queen of Heaven, and there was nothing they could do even if they were dissatisfied. Pei Dong'er even began to clean up the peddlers and inspected every peddler. This became the last straw, and many peddler merchants simply retreated and left.
