673: Chapter 673 The Celestial Venerable's Questioning
At this moment.
On the throne located at the lower part of the pyramid, a Heavenly Sovereign spoke; it was Heavenly Sovereign Hanming, who was in charge of the Seventh Heaven mission evaluations.
"The mission has no problems, and the reports are all true."
"However."
Heavenly Sovereign Hanming changed the subject.
"One-third of the 99 Undying Realm enforcers in charge of the evaluation cast dissenting votes. Logically speaking, Xiao Weiqing cannot enter the Seventh Heaven."
According to the rules of the Holy Land, in the evaluation for entering the Seventh Heaven, if one-third of the Undying Realm enforcers in charge of the assessment cast dissenting votes, it meant that the evaluated member's mission was unqualified, and they would lose the opportunity to enter the Seventh Heaven.
"Oh?"
"Then this becomes interesting."
A Heavenly Sovereign said.
The Holy Land Seventh Heaven evaluation.
For the evaluation of every quasi-Seventh Heaven member, the Undying Realm enforcers responsible for reviewing were different and randomly selected.
Based on the examinee's mission results and actions, they gave an evaluation.
Over so many years, there were generally only two outcomes.
Either a majority passed, or a majority failed.
It was truly rare to be stuck right at one-third dissent.
"It is indeed interesting."
"I saw in the report that the indi people lost their fertility due to the no. 3 and no. 4 longevity potions, resulting in a population decline and facing the threat of extinction. Is there any problem with stopping the production of the no. 3 and no. 4 longevity potions?" Heavenly Sovereign Sugu, who had spoken previously, spoke again.
"Where are the Undying Realm enforcers responsible for the review?"
"We are here."
At this moment.
Xiao Weiqing only then discovered that below those thrones, there were also a hundred Undying Realm powerhouses standing suspended in the void.
Xiao Weiqing only took a glance and withdrew his gaze; it was not yet time for him to speak, so he could only wait quietly.
Heavenly Sovereign Hanming said: "Speak, what are your reasons for objecting?"
Facing hundreds of Heavenly Sovereigns, even ordinary Undying Realm experts did not dare to act presumptuously.
One of the Undying Realm powerhouses stepped forward and said:
"Heavenly Sovereign, this is the report from Jiuxin of the Longevity Potion Company."
"It is recorded in the report that Xiao Weiqing suspectedly colluded with Denise and the Resistance Army, staged a self-directed act to seize the longevity potion formula, and arbitrarily stopped the production of the no. 3 and no. 4 longevity potions, causing tens of billions of credits in losses to the Longevity Potion Company and the Holy Land."
Heavenly Sovereign Sugu glanced at the report, sneered without speaking, and wore an amused expression.
Heavenly Sovereign Hanming spoke again, but this time asking Xiao Weiqing.
"Xiao Weiqing, what do you have to say about these?"
"Replying to the Heavenly Sovereign, this student has nothing to say."
"Oh? Then you admit it?" Heavenly Sovereign Hanming said, with no discernible emotion in his tone, "Do you know that this concerns whether you can enter the Seventh Heaven."
"Heavenly Sovereign, the student does not admit it, I just do not want to fall into the trap of self-proof. On this report, suspected collusion and self-directed acts are all speculations without any evidence."
"As for stopping the production of the no. 3 and no. 4 longevity potions, it was entirely to prevent damage to the Holy Land's reputation. Moreover, the formulas for the no. 3 and no. 4 longevity potions have already been handed over to the Holy Land. If the Holy Land feels it is inappropriate, production can be resumed at any time."
After finishing speaking.
Xiao Weiqing did not speak anymore and waited quietly.
Heavenly Sovereign Hanming looked at the Undying Realm expert who had spoken earlier: "Regarding Xiao Weiqing's answer, do you have anything to say?"
This Undying Realm expert sighed inwardly; what else could he say?
Actually, he did not want to object, but alas, even as a powerhouse of the Undying Realm level, he had moments of helplessness.
At this moment, he could only secretly curse himself for not being strong enough. If he were sitting up there instead of standing down below, he would not feel so aggrieved right now.
This Undying Realm expert secretly decided that once this matter was over, he would go into seclusion; the favors that needed to be repaid had already been repaid.
"Heavenly Sovereign Hanming, it was my lack of consideration and listening to the words of others; I will reflect on it properly."
After speaking.
This Undying Realm expert no longer spoke either; he had done what he needed to do, and he did not want to wade into this muddy water.
"What about you all?"
Heavenly Sovereign Hanming looked at the other thirty dissenting Undying Realm enforcers.
"It was our operational error, we await any punishment."
The other Undying Realm powerhouses were not fools either; they resolutely admitted their mistakes. It was just an operational error, and the Holy Land wouldn't do anything to them.
As for the Heavenly Sovereigns present, which one of them wasn't an old monster who had lived for hundreds of millions of years? They must have seen long ago that the problem didn't lie with these people.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Sovereigns not only knew where the problem lay, but they even knew what the answer was.
The remaining matters were a game of chess between the Heavenly Sovereigns; they just needed to play their own roles well.
The only thing that made them curious was what kind of ending the young man below would meet.
They were very clear about Xiao Weiqing's background; he came from the Incubation Ground and had no Foundation whatsoever in the Holy Land. Now that he was dragged into the chess game of the Heavenly Sovereigns, he probably wouldn't have an easy time.
Heavenly Sovereign Hanming made no comments regarding the replies of these Undying Realm enforcers, and spoke expressionlessly:
"In that case, Xiao Weiqing passes the evaluation and may enter the Seventh Heaven."
Hearing this, Xiao Weiqing was extremely surprised.
Is this it?
So simple?
All the answers he had prepared in his heart were not used at all.
At this moment, Xiao Weiqing's thoughts were the same as Heavenly Sovereign Sugu's earlier: if it were really just this little matter, would it be worth gathering more than three hundred Heavenly Sovereigns together?
Xiao Weiqing was not arrogant enough to think he had such a big Face.
Just at this moment.
"Wait."
A Heavenly Sovereign spoke, attracting the attention of all the powerhouses.
Hearing this, Heavenly Sovereign Hanming spoke softly: "Does Heavenly Sovereign Mingxin have something to say?"
"Indeed."
"Please go ahead."
Heavenly Sovereign Mingxin looked down at Xiao Weiqing and said calmly: "
Xiao Weiqing, your report states that on the 29th, it was confirmed that the potion and its formula were in your hands, and on the 30th, you forced Jiuxin to hand over the formula and demanded that the Longevity Potion Company stop the production of the no. 3 and no. 4 longevity potions."
"Yes, Lord Heavenly Sovereign."
Xiao Weiqing lowered his head and replied. He recognized Heavenly Sovereign Mingxin as one of the three Heavenly Sovereigns who had intricate ties with the Longevity Potion Company.
"Very well, let us temporarily put aside the accusations from Jiuxin. Before making these decisions, did you ever think about communicating with the Holy Land?"
"Why did you act arbitrarily on your own authority?"
Facing the questioning of Heavenly Sovereign Mingxin.
Xiao Weiqing did not panic and truthfully said: "Because I was in the middle of my mission evaluation at the time. If I communicated with the Holy Land before handling it, it might have affected my evaluation score."
"As for acting arbitrarily, the student feels it cannot be considered as such. As a special envoy, I have the right to do so."
"You feel?"
"Who do you think you are?!"
Heavenly Sovereign Mingxin reprimanded sternly.
Even without deliberate targeting, Xiao Weiqing's mind was somewhat unstable.
Heavenly Sovereign Mingxin pressed forward step by step and continued to shout:
"Since the matter had already been resolved, why directly stop production?"
"Do you know how much wealth the Longevity Potion Company can earn for the Holy Land in a year?"
"At least a hundred billion credits."
"Forget about a mere Star Lord Realm like you, even an Undying Realm expert could not earn that in a year, ten years, or a hundred years!"
