I am not fighting for the position of president for my own benefit. I am doing it because I care about all the people under heaven, and I have no choice but to step forward!
"Bullshit!"
"Shameless!"
The true lords secretly complained in their hearts when they heard this, but their expressions did not change on the surface.
Especially the true lords from the righteous path area—why did this speech sound so familiar?
Still, human nature has always contained hypocrisy, and the old yuan ying monsters had long since gotten used to it.
After all, most of the time in the cultivation world, people still cared about appearances to some extent, whether it was to have a legitimate cause or to justify their actions.
The kind of naked, unabashed honesty was actually only seen in a minority of cases.
"The position of president being held by Friend Qingyang is truly the will of the people!"
"Only President Qingyang can lead us to victory!"
Once the situation turned in his favor, people immediately began flattering him.
"Only a person like you, who cares for the common people and understands the greater righteousness, can lead us to break this decayed system!"
"With Friend Qingyang leading Qingyun Society, we will surely be able to make great strides forward. In the future, I hope you will guide this old man more often."
No matter what they were thinking inside, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely harmonious, with words of praise coming one after another.
A few of the true lords speaking just moments ago had firmly supported Primordial Master, but now they had already switched sides.
Most true lords were extremely pragmatic.
They made all decisions from the perspective of profit, so their change in stance was very smooth.
"You all flatter me too much. Liu is inexperienced and lacks ability. I know I am only a junior, and I really do not deserve such praise."
"If Qingyun Society is to make great strides, it will still require all of you to work together with me."
Liu Yu waved his hands repeatedly. His words and actions were modest, showing respect for the seniors.
After a pause, he continued:
"Friend Hunyuan has high virtue and prestige, and has a strong foundation in the righteous path area. The five elements sect also has a long history."
"Friend Blood Sea has formidable strength, and his abilities are well known to all. Liu merely had a slight edge this time."
"So I propose that the two of you serve as vice presidents, so that we can better unite our fellow cultivators in the Tian Nan cultivation world and develop Qingyun Society together."
To be honest, Liu Yu did not care much about the so-called position of president.
However, the current "great cultivator council system" was entirely controlled by Heavenly Thunder Palace, and using the council to suppress him cost them too little.
So he had no choice but to overturn it, which led to what was happening now. Everything was for cultivation.
Immortal cultivators relied on their own strength. Once one broke through to the divine transformation realm, a president or sect master would not matter at all.
Fame was a burden, so Liu Yu proposed that Primordial Master and Blood Sea Demon Lord serve as vice presidents.
First, this would help disperse attention and provide two more targets to draw fire.
Second, it would be beneficial for unity and would better unite allies from both the righteous and demonic territories.
With his proposal, and because the two of them were already among the highest in cultivation and strongest in strength, the true lords naturally had no reason to object.
After some polite refusal and modesty, Blood Sea Demon Lord became the vice president in charge of the demonic path area, while Primordial Master became the vice president in charge of the righteous path area.
At this time, the second war between humans and demons had only just begun, and the fighting had not yet reached its most critical stage. The major powers had not yet deeply felt the pressure from the three divine transformation factions, so this was not the right moment for Qingyun Society to make a move.
