Once every single seat in the hall was filled, Anna raised her hand in the air. In an instant, everyone shut up.
"Today we have gathered together to take part in the 15th centennial council of races. We will first make sure that nothing too unruly has been done in the Zhou World before we get to more important matters. Any representatives who have sothing to speak of on that matter may stand now." She said.
The representatives she spoke of were not the rulers of each of the lands, but the ones directly under them. For example, the representatives of the beast lands would be the leaders of each race. The representatives of the dinosaurs would consist of the leader of each species. The representatives of the Supre beast lands would be a few of the more powerful beasts. The representatives of the celestial lands would be the tower leaders or big city mayors.
One thing that stayed consistent was that every representative was at the soul formation level minimum with no exception. As for how many Soul formation cultivators there were, that differed for every race.
For example, although the celestial race now had 50 soul formation cultivators, they only brought 10.
The rest also had more soul formation cultivators that they didn't bring.
Another thing to note about the eting was the two people sitting behind Anna and the dragon king. They too had a cultivation of void traversing and sat behind the leaders of their race.
As for the representatives, they sat on the first layer of seats.
Hearing her words, a few people from each race stood up. They each reported different things, but they each had the gist of, "Soone did sothing very bad and we cant catch him. We request assistance" or "We need help finding out who did these bad things, we request assistance."
It only took a couple minutes for everyone to report and a couple minutes for the leaders of the races to declare actions.
After that, Anna once again hushed the crowd and spoke.
"Next, we need to speak of the monkey king's recent infringent upon the dinosaur's territory. Do you have an explanation Sun Wukong?" Anna asked.
"The rabbit race has decided to expand their farm and needs more area. We will compensate the dinosaur race with 1000 gold coins for the land we took." The monkey king said with his gruff, yet arrogant voice.
"One thousand gold coins is not nearly enough to cover the losses of the territory you took! Not to ntion the fact that it is simply an insult to our race!" The titanosaur said in anger. His voice echoed throughout the entire hall, sending chills through many people's spines.
"Then why don't you do sothing about it." The monkey king retorted.
Hearing him, the titanosaur stood up from his chair in a rage when imnse pressures descended upon them.
"Enough!" Both Anna and the dragon king said at the sa ti. Both of their auras worked to suppress the two parties.
The titanosaur fell back into his chair while the monkey king stopped with his arrogant look.
"Rember." Anna started. "We all have one common enemy. Death" She said.
"Sun Wukong, we all know that you didn't need to take the dinosaurs' land in order to expand a farm. You rely did it because you wanted to flaunt your minuscule power. You have plenty of unoccupied room to expand behind your empire. If you take such actions against the dinosaurs again, we will personally intervene." Anna said domineeringly.
Everything she said was true. The four lands didn't even take up half of the world. There was still plenty of land for anyone and everyone to use or claim.
The monkey king didn't retort and simply nodded at her words.
"Speaking of death, it has been then thousand years since his last attacks. He could co any minute and attempt to wipe us out. The next ti he arrives, we must band together and kill him permanently." Anna siad.
It was at this ti that the dragon king chid in.
"We've already talked about this. Can we even kill him? He is literally death."
"No, he is not death, but the grim reaper. He said it himself. In fact, even if he was death itself we could kill him. There are no absolutes in the world." Anna said to the dragon king.
The rest of the rulers nodded their heads in agreent at her words. The grim reaper had been a hot topic for the last ten thousand years and not a single sentient being, no matter how weak, had not heard his na.
Stories of him had been told to children for many years as if he was so sort of monster under their beds. Parents would say that if they misbehaved, the grim reaper would co get them.
After Anna spoke about the grim reaper, the eting moved on to many different topics. The most interesting thing being a proposal from the dragon king himself to allow the younger generations to spar every one hundred years.
It would incite the younger people to cultivate faster while also foreshadowing the future of the races. The battle would only be for those younger than a hundred years, which was treated as fairly young by any cultivators.
After a fair amount of ti was spent adjusting rules and even just talking about whether it was a good idea or not, the idea was agreed upon and set to start at the next assembly in a hundred years.
Each land would bring 5 young talents to compete in the competition and the winner and runner up would both get prizes.
After a few more hours, the eting was almost over. Just as Anna was about to declare the eting over, her eyes shot wide open.
Turning to the crowd, she looked at one person in particular. That person was the cloaked Zhou fan, who had just transford under his cloak.
A scythe appeared in the hands of the man she was staring at and Death could be felt running over everyone in the eting.
