“But it’s just absurd to have me start construction on the Heavenly Court first when you guys haven’t even finalized the project details,” Qin Muye complained.

“Now this means we’ll have to set up a Divine Dao examination. The higher the position, the harder the test will be.”

“And to top it off, they’re having me build the Heavenly Court without any materials cost. They really expect me to pay out of my own pocket.”

“So, the fees for training classes can’t stay the same. We need to set different tiers to form a structured fee system.”

“It should work. Should we get on with the exam… hold on, maybe do some training first?” Qin Muye’s eyes lit up; this seemed feasible.

“Tsk, does this count as securing a job after passing the exam?” Qin Muye suddenly wondered.

“Don’t tell me this will drag on for a thousand and eight hundred years before the second negotiation takes place.”

For example, taking a seventh-rank position could directly promote someone to eighth-rank after completion, with a tenure generally lasting a hundred years. Ascending from a Golden Immortal to a Daluo Golden Immortal in a century would definitely cause disciples from the Three Sects to rush in head-first.

After all, for Qin Muye, this wasn’t his native place. He had no emotional attachment to it.

Apart from the Heavenly Dao requesting a reconsideration, there were no other complications.

It was basically about coaxing or suppressing.

Of course, it wasn’t that they had anything against Qin Muye; a one percent concession was already quite minimal, and the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t really refuse to give even that. If they were that stingy, it would be Qin Muye who objected.

It’s not that they were protective, but because this plan, if successful, would significantly reduce their internal costs, which would be extremely beneficial to them. After all, the Xuanzhen Realm’s Divine Enthronement plan had succeeded, and it would continue to expand to the colonial worlds, which would be quite considerable.

For the masters of the Three Sects, or the Heavenly Dao, discussing dao or transmitting teachings could take thousands or tens of thousands of years. In the Xuanzhen Realm, time had absolutely no value; one could inadvertently lose a hundred years.

The entire negotiation process for Divine Enthronement was very straightforward; Qin Muye also participated, marking his first official involvement.

Fortunately, everyone showed considerable restraint; they expressed that the next meeting should deal with issues, as points of interest needed to be redistributed.

Subsequently, they could gain various priority rights and preferential policies in the colonial worlds and so on.

Regrettably, the points of divergence were too significant. The Heavenly Dao wanted to take half, which they could understand, but not agree with.

Indeed, the position of Heavenly Court’s master was a kind of divine position, so it wasn’t possible for Qin Muye to take it up. Besides, even if it were offered to him, he wouldn’t take it, as it involved work rather than enjoyment. As the Heavenly Emperor, not only would he have to manage the entirety of Xuanzhen Realm’s affairs, but he would also have to handle large and small issues and streamline the flow between heaven and earth, effectively a 007 job. However, the stake in Divine Dao made it worth the effort.

No wonder even the masters of the Three Sects had only ten percent each.

The training could offer various professional courses, letting these cultivators pay to learn. Whether they could pass the exam was another matter.

Dumping it on Qin Muye to handle alone? That would be even more nonsensical, not to mention Qin Muye’s surprisingly low pricing. Otherwise, why would they compensate Qin Muye’s losses? Moreover, they couldn’t replicate Qin Muye’s technology even if they did it themselves.

Qin Muye guessed that the disciples of the Three Sects would have to compromise on their share of Divine Dao benefits, though not to nine percent. More likely around nineteen percent.

Qin Muye quickly drafted a proposal. Of course, his Divine Dao examination wouldn’t be based on scoring but on ranking. This way, the Three Sects’ Sect Masters couldn’t complain, as it was simply a matter of their disciples’ competencies not stacking up against others. The number of divine positions within the Three Sects hadn’t changed; it was merely in flux.

Qin Muye was the technology provider, so there was no need to hassle him unnecessarily.

Qin Muye complained, “They discuss there, and I end up being the sucker for the Heavenly Court? Dream on.”

Letting the disciples exhaust themselves only to earn less than their own share would directly ruin their original plan for reducing cultivation costs. Then why would they initiate the Divine Enthronement plan?

If it were normal cultivation, some disciples would never have the chance to become Daluo Golden Immortals in their lifetimes. But just by taking office, they were guaranteed a direct promotion.

Even the masters of the Three Sects would speak on behalf of Qin Muye, discussing Divine Enthronement itself as a division of interests. If you’re kicking people out before they have even set up their platform, then who would want to play along? Build it yourself?

Even as an 8th-tier Daluo Golden Immortal who had completed his tenure as the Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Position, though he won’t become a 9th-tier Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, he still gains great rewards, with even more contenders.

Although the Three Sects originated from the same source, this does not mean they share the same interests. After all, each had established its own sect. It wasn’t possible for everyone to stand on the same line of interest, so the Sect Masters had to consider even more.

Although it was said that Divine Positions had terms, it didn’t mean one could only serve once in a lifetime. Instead, they could continue to compete for promotions, such as a Ghost Messenger rising to be a City God. Once promoted, it effectively started a new term.

So there was no need to worry about the Heavenly Court’s Divine Dao System being ignored. Once the discussions were complete and news was released from lands to the Heavenly Emperor, a large number of cultivators who had become immortals would come to compete for positions, ensuring that the whole Xuanzhen Realm would turn into a realm of intense internal competition.

Therefore, it is highly unlikely that negotiations will resume in the short term. Private contacts must be made.

As long as one can secure their political achievements, one can definitely ascend to the 7th-tier in the Divine Dao System and reach the Heavenly Court. As for advancing to the 8th-tier, that would require top divine positions such as the Heavenly Emperor, but generally, these are not likely to fall into the hands of the 7th-tiers and are probably occupied by the 8th-tier Daluo Golden Immortals.

The core of his divine technique was the Destiny Mud Tablet Technology, supplemented with the systems of Destiny Dynasty and data from the Gendaya Mother Goddess. That’s why he could generate such significant interests. The divine techniques of the worlds branded as colonies couldn’t compare to what Qin Muye possessed.

The Heavenly Dao should also provide sufficient compensation, such as extra benefits and blessings for the disciples serving in office, which would be greatly advantageous to their cultivation process.

There indeed are Divine Dao type worlds under the Xuanzhen Realm, but the divine technology there doesn’t compare to what Qin Muye has. If used, it would actually not gain any divine benefit and would result in losses. If there were profits to be made, it would have been promoted long ago; it wouldn’t wait for Qin Muye to take action.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao grabbing the major share and still wanting more for nothing is impossible.

Therefore, Qin Muye naturally had no objections. The point of contention was regarding the disciples’ 29 percent while the Heavenly Dao claimed 50 percent, leaving only 9 percent of the divine benefits for the disciples.

There actually were flaws in this arrangement.

The reason is simple, the matter was too extensive, involving the entire Xuanzhen Realm. If truly carried out as Qin Muye said, the Heavenly Dao would undoubtedly suffer the greatest loss. Although the Divine Positions specified in the divine decree were set up by Qin Muye, the true overall system belonged to the entire Xuanzhen Realm.

Add on the unique encryption techniques. Even the masters of the Three Sects and the Heavenly Dao would have to spend a lot of human and material resources to crack it. They could conduct investigations secretly, but blatantly fishing for benefits would be too shameful, and they wouldn’t want to offend Qin Muye unnecessarily. Since he was offering such a low price, if they didn’t let Qin Muye earn his share, he could simply leave this world for another place to profit.

Besides, if a divine being doesn’t even understand their own basic job, then what’s the point in discussing taking on a Divine Position?

Besides, he wasn’t serving in the Heavenly Court anyway, so it had nothing to do with him.

This Divine Enthronement plan was definitely going to pass, there were no issues with that aspect, it was just a matter of timing.

This made the masters of the Three Sects restless. After all, this was about securing a fortune for their disciples, not genuinely offering tribute to the Heavenly Dao.

These matters weren’t much related to Qin Muye. The interest points relevant to him were already fixed. Neither the masters of the Three Sects nor the Heavenly Dao would target him or intentionally breach the agreement.

The real contention lay in other deductions. Previously, the distribution was 1 percent for Qin Muye and 29 percent for the disciples. Among the remaining 60 percent, each master of the Three Sects took 10 percent, and the remaining 30 percent was offered as tribute to the Heavenly Dao. Everyone had a share, but the Heavenly Dao took the lion’s share, after all, it was the ruler of the world.

As for Qin Muye’s losses, each of the Three Sects would draw 1 percent of their profits to compensate Qin Muye, meaning he had a 1 percent stake in each of the Three Sects. However, this stake only included dividends, with no other rights.

Though it was said like this in words, in reality, it was just a matter of the Heavenly Dao convincing the masters of the Three Sects or the masters convincing the Heavenly Dao, or perhaps compromising to redistribute the interest points.
