Chapter 1567: Chapter 1128: Turns Out to Be a Plant

The Light Point Fortress has become the second largest astrological change today, with the first being the Light Disaster. However, others have only seen a vague shape of an artificial object in the Stargazing Mirror, unable to clearly see the structure, let alone the greenery on it.

Such a clear image can only mean that the Stargazing Mirror indeed captured the Light Point Fortress. There is too much information contained in it, leaving the venue in a daze for a while.

Although the venue was bewildered, those outside were not, as they could not see the image. Just the content they heard was enough to make them restless, sending messages to their acquaintances to inquire about the situation. During this bewildering time, the private communication signals of those at the venue kept flashing.

Once everyone digested the image of the Light Point Fortress, someone quickly reacted to Tianya’s words, and someone instinctively doubted: "Impossible! An eight-meter diameter Stargazing Mirror? How can there be such a large diameter? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The rest also came to their senses, questioning one after another: "Impossible, eight-meter diameter? The Stargazing Mirror of the Divine Light Astral Tower is only four and a half meters, and it already used up all the top-tier alchemists’ efforts. Where did you get such a large piece of glass? Even if you could make such a large piece of glass, how would you cut it? How would you polish it?"

"Even if it were polished, how do you design the curvature? How do you arrange the lens assembly? How do you suppress chromatic dispersion? How do you correct distortion?"

"What does reflective design mean? And what does red-blue correction mean?"

"Demon Spirits for star seeking? Ah, what a great idea, Demon Spirits do not suffer fatigue, making them most suitable for star seeking. This way, we don’t have to keep a constant eye on the Stargazing Mirror. They can notify me when there’s a special change, but can the Demon Spirits be installed in the Stargazing Mirror?"

The venue was a cacophony of voices, filled with doubts and discussions, turning into a chaotic scene.

It wasn’t long before there was a clang, with people constantly pushing open the doors of the venue. Those were the remotely attending astrologers who couldn’t hold back and directly teleported over, as the teleportation fees were quite significant for most poor magicians.

Tianya listened to everyone’s doubts and discussions with a smile. When she felt it was about time, she raised her hands and pressed them down slightly.

The noise in the venue came to an abrupt stop, and everyone’s gaze turned to Tianya.

Anthony, who entered with the identity of an astrologer, saw this scene and smiled calmly. What is prestige? This is prestige.

Tianya raised her voice and said: "Hearing something a thousand times is not as good as seeing it once. I have secured five spots. Who is willing to go with me to the Sea of Omniscience to see it with their own eyes?"

"I’ll go, I’ll go, count me in."

"What are you going for? Do you understand the design and construction of the Astrological Mirror? Of course, it should be someone like me, who has a dual profession in astrology and alchemy, to verify the truth more accurately. Let me go."

"I suggest letting the eldest go, like me. I have rich experience with over seventy years of stargazing, and I can see the astrological changes at a glance."

"You have presbyopia."

"Damn it, it’s common for vision to decline with age, I can wear glasses."

"You have presbyopia."

"Damn it, today we duel to the death, prepare to die."

"Calm down, teacher, calm down, let me go. The Sea of Omniscience seems to be an Abyss Dimension with a harsh environment. Your health is not good, better let a young person go. I’m younger and can endure hardship."

In the scramble for these five spots, attendees quickly turned into a noisy (and fighting) group, arguing rationally, mockingly, or harboring old grievances, creating a lively scene.

"Cough, cough!!" Tianya forcefully coughed twice, and the venue quickly quieted down.

"This kind of arguing is not the way, let me nominate candidates first. Agreeing parties please vote, disagreeing parties please object. Abstentions will count as objections. First, I nominate Mr. Roger." As instructed by Anthony, Tianya nonchalantly took over the nominating rights.

Don’t underestimate the nominating rights, as they are essentially a power to let you join the game.

If there is a game with huge benefits, to share the profits, you need to first join this game or circle. Nominating rights give you the power to join the game, and those who hold this power naturally have great prestige.

Tianya’s first nomination was Roger, surprising others, even Roger himself. He was the first to question Tianya earlier, and he was quite impolite, yet Tianya nominated him first. This made Roger feel a bit embarrassed.

Seeing the subtle change in Roger’s expression, Anthony smiled and whispered: "This is moral coercion. By nominating him, Tianya appears to be fair and unbiased in others’ eyes. If he opposes again in the future, he would be seen as ungrateful."

"This Roger is a troublemaker, and at the Association of Sages, he’s the one who talks back. If we settle him, things will be much easier, maybe even let him bite others."

Projected on him, Negris couldn’t help but scoff: "Death God’s Staff, you’re so insidious, turning something as simple as a nomination into a show."

As they spoke, the voting was already completed, with the approval votes barely over half. Since it was an anonymous vote, no one knew who supported, who opposed, and who abstained. Apparently, everyone wasn’t as ’supportive’ of Roger as they appeared.

"Oh, not bad, he got over half," Anthony laughed.

"Not bad? He’s supposed to swear on behalf of the Astrologers’ Alliance, and only got a little over half in support. Not bad?" Negris argued.

"Of course. His personality isn’t liked by many, so friendship votes are few. What’s left is genuine ’support.’ Those with too many friendship votes are hard to gauge for true prestige. In established organizations, popularity is good enough, but for pioneering ones, they need some unpopular yet convincing individuals," Anthony explained.

Next, Tianya nominated four more candidates, all the most respected astrologers after investigation. The votes passed smoothly, and their support was much higher than Roger’s, almost seven or eight tenths.

"Okay, does anyone have any objections? If anyone believes they have higher support, please stand up and challenge. Those with more support than these five can replace their spots. Does anyone want to participate?" Tianya asked.

Replace a spot? Among the five, Roger had the lowest support. If replacements were made, he would be the first. Anxiously, he glared at those in the venue who could threaten him.

This is different from anonymous voting. Standing up in front of everyone may not guarantee higher support than Roger, but it will certainly offend others, so it’s not worth it. Ultimately, no one stood up.

"Alright, since no one challenged, I will report the names of the five gentlemen to the Omniscient Commerce Guild. Once confirmed, we can go to the Sea of Omniscience. This nomination election method is very efficient. In the future, if there are similar opportunities, we can use this method to select people. Let’s have the five elected gentlemen serve as nominators. How about it?" Tianya asked.

What else could they say? The five selected were all the most popular except for Roger, and Roger also had over half support, so they all applauded enthusiastically.

At this moment, a voice rang out from somewhere below the stage: "Dean Tianya, you should also be a nominator. You secured the spots and donations for us. We support Dean Tianya as a nominator."

At this moment, even if someone wanted to oppose, upon hearing about the spots and donations, the opposition was unspeakable, fearing they would lose both and offend people.

Some even echoed flatteringly: "Yes, yes, we support Dean Tianya."

Tianya smiled and said: "Thank you all for your support. If similar opportunities arise, I’ll act as a nominator alongside the five. I’ll also strive to secure various benefits for everyone and contribute to the alliance. Alright, the spots are confirmed. Let the five nominators follow me to the Sea of Omniscience to test the Stargazing Mirror."

After Tianya took people and left, the projected Negris on Anthony scoffed disdainfully: "I knew you infiltrated to play the stooge."
