Chapter 1070: The Final Blow (1)

The traitorous dogs!

The ruler death gods of the three pillars were truly on the verge of throwing up blood now!

Indeed, anchoring the dragon jade to the new energy resource would make trading very convenient for all nations, but it would also rapidly elevate the Cathayan Underworld\'s status in the world! In the span of just a few years, it would exceed the Cathayan Underworld under the leadership of the second King Yanluo!

The world was only so big, and if the Cathayan Underworld\'s status were to be drastically elevated, all nations would have to suck up to the Cathayan Underworld to a certain extent for fear of having their energy resource supply cut off.

Thus, the influence of the three pillars would be significantly weakened, but that didn\'t entail any cost for the small underworlds, at least not at the moment.

Small underworlds didn\'t care about international power struggles, their priority was to lead their nations and people toward prosperity.

Things like influence on the world stage were too far away for them to consider, and as such, they didn\'t care about that at all!

If a vote were to be held at this moment, the majority of the death gods present would be certain to vote in approval of Qin Ye\'s proposals. This was why the ruler death gods of the three pillars were going as far as to threaten violence to oppose Qin Ye\'s proposed intentions!

However, there wasn\'t even a single death who was willing to engage in eye contact with them, and Thanatos was so enraged by this that his entire body was trembling uncontrollably.

Rather than humiliating himself any further, he lowered his head, and he was gripping the table in front of him so tightly that his fingers were about to punch cleanly through it. "We can\'t count on them... They\'ve already been blinded by the short-sighted vision that\'s been presented to them! We can only count on ourselves here! If we had more time, we would definitely be able to find a solution!"

He cast a desperate gaze up toward Qin Ye on the main stage, and he knew that there was no way they would be able to buy any more time.

The Cathayan Underworld was already making its move, and the other underworlds weren\'t going to wait. It would only take half a month, perhaps a month at most, for the Cathayan Underworld to hold a patent authorization conference under the joint request of all death gods all over the world. At the same time, all of the underworlds would apply pressure to the GIPO to approve the Cathayan Underworld\'s patent applications as soon as possible. After all, the longer the assessment process dragged on, the longer they would be without electricity.

After that, the Cathayan Underworld\'s construction teams and technicians would spread through the entire world, leaving permanent marks on all of the nations across the entire world!

The wheel of history couldn\'t be stopped. The interests of countless parties were involved here, and even the three pillars couldn\'t stand against the wishes of the entire world!

As such, there wasn\'t going to be any time afforded to them. Regardless of their objections, it was inevitable that the Cathayan Underworld\'s new energy resource was going to spread across the entire world. As soon as this thought occurred to him, Thanatos was struck by a sense of powerlessness, and he could only raise his head to the heavens and heave a long sigh.

Before he knew it, the wheel of history had already run over the three pillars.

Having competed and fought against the Cathayan Underworld for so long, he could only watch as the Cathayan Underworld was elevated to unprecedented heights by the rest of the world.

"No... There\'s still a way for us to turn this around!" Anubis took a deep breath before rising to his feet again.

He didn\'t immediately say anything, but all of the death gods could sense that another storm was coming. Anubis heaved a forlorn sigh, but there was a look of unshakeable determination in his eyes.

Throughout the past few thousand years, countless underworlds have fallen, and only 34 remain. How many civilizations have been lost to the sands of time? Throughout the entire history of the underworld, no single force has managed to rule supreme, but on this day, this man has created the foundation for such a stranglehold of power over the entire world. If he gets his way, the entire world will inevitably become an autocracy! He is using all of the world\'s Yin jade to pile up his own throne! I refuse to allow that to happen, and the three pillars will oppose him to the very end!!

His gaze was as sharp as a sword as he stared intently at Qin Ye, then said, "I wish to exercise my veto rights!"

All of the Yin spirits in the entire hall immediately turned toward him.

"I don\'t think I\'ve ever seen this before," Peter the Great sighed. "The three pillars have run out of cards to play."

The three pillars had drawn a straight flush here, but they failed to anticipate the royal flush that the Cathayan Underworld was holding.

Who could\'ve possibly anticipated this outcome?

The nameless god of death had a rather absentminded look on his face. He was busy thinking about how to mend the Russian Underworld\'s relationship with the Cathayan Underworld and make up for their past bad blood. After a long while, he cast a wary gaze toward Qin Ye and said, "The Cathayan Underworld has endured doubt and ridicule from the rest of the world for 10 years, but little did everyone know that they were preparing a decisive blow. Peter, we need to reassess the Cathayan Underworld. This King Yanluo is different from both of his predecessors. He\'s willing and able to cower and hide, but if he strikes, he makes sure that the blow is decisive. This is the most terrifying type of opponent to face. To be honest, I don\'t fear the second King Yanluo. He\'s more powerful than anyone in history, and he can be extremely unreasonable at times, but he\'s a terrible politician. However, I\'m really beginning to fear this third King Yanluo now... The most terrifying thing is that he\'s only just beginning to come into his own as a politician. In the future, the Cathayan Underworld is going to become even more fearsome!"

Silence quickly descended over the entire venue.

Amid the silence, Archbishop Antonio finally spoke up. "There\'s no need for that, my friend. Peaceful development is the top priority for the modern world, and just as Yanluo Qin says, anchoring the dragon jade to the new energy resource is good to all parties, including the GTO, the Cathayan Underworld, and all other underworlds. This conserves a massive amount of expenditure and workload for all parties, and it also doesn\'t require having to constantly convert currencies. The new era has already arrived, why are you so determined to try and stop it?"

Yamaraja turned to Archbishop Antonio with a vicious gaze as he mouthed the words: "Are you betraying us as well?"

Archbishop Antonio was able to interpret Yamaraja\'s silent accusation, yet before he had a chance to reply, Yamaraja turned away with a self-derisive smile and a defeated shake of his head.

There was no betrayal here, the top 10 consortiums had always been allied solely to money!

Seeing as Yamaraja had already turned away, Archbishop Antonio didn\'t bother to reply. Instead, he shook his head as he heaved a faint sigh. "The three pillars have lost. They\'re already beginning to panic, and who can blame them? The wheel of history is unstoppable, and there\'s not enough time for them to do anything. They think that they can bail themselves out with their veto rights, but they\'ve forgotten one thing, they\'ve forgotten that there are many other powers in this world, and they are more than willing to welcome the arrival of the new era!"

He pointed a finger at the other underworlds, and Peter the Great cast his gaze toward that direction to find that all of the death gods of the small and medium-sized underworlds were staring intently at Anubis with tightly furrowed brows and pursed lips.

"In the face of the pressure exerted upon them by the entire world, the three pillars don\'t have time to do anything else, and they certainly wouldn\'t dare to try and obstruct the emergence of the new energy resource. If they were to do that, then the Cathayan Underworld really would establish a Pan-Asian Trade Organization for all other underworlds to join, and that would be the absolute worst-case scenario for the three pillars."

Following the release of the new energy resource, the three pillars were left with the realization that their hand was nowhere near as good as they had thought it was, and that they only had one card left to play, which was their veto rights.

Anubis continued, "I object to the anchoring of the dragon jade to the new energy resource, and I don\'t want to see any further discussion of this subject in the future!"

"I concur," Yamaraja chimed in.

"I also concur," Thanatos said with a cold expression. He knew that this was their final struggle. If they couldn\'t stop this tide here, then it would soon escalate into a tsunami that would sweep through the entire world!

Once that happened, the Cathayan Underworld would become the dominant powerhouse of the world in no more than 10 years!

"Objection!" Right at this moment, a rather fearful and feeble voice rang out, but it was like rumbling thunder in the ears of all of the Yin spirits in the hall. The ruler death gods turned their attention toward the direction where the voice had come from, only to find that it was the death god of an insignificant underworld that was extremely forgettable.

It was Death God Masauwu of the Hopi Underworld.

He was light years away from reaching the status of the three pillars, yet he was standing his ground right before everyone\'s eyes and directly opposing the three pillars!

"I... object!" Masauwu was almost paralyzed from fear, yet he still gritted his teeth tightly as he said in an urgent voice, "If there\'s no set currency anchored to the new energy resource, not only will that result in a massive additional workload, we would also have to go through multiple currency conversions each energy resource transaction, which is completely unnecessary! In light of that, I support anchoring the dragon jade to the new energy resource!"

With one person leading the way, everyone was instilled with the confidence to follow.

Qin Ye gave Hela a meaningful look, and Hela immediately knew what he wanted. She rose to her feet and declared, "The Five Nation Alliance of Northern Europa objects to the three pillars\' unreasonable use of their veto rights! Connecting the dragon jade to the new energy resource will significantly conserve manpower, resources, and overall workload, making it far more convenient for the entire world to access the new energy resource! You are using your veto rights to impede the progress of the world, and that goes against the duties of the four pillars! The five underworlds of Northern Europa strongly object to this proposal!"

As soon as her voice trailed off, all of the Mythic Spirits of the Alkebulan Underworlds also stood up. "The Coalition of Alkebulan Underworlds would also like to raise an objection! Anchoring the dragon jade to the new energy resource is extremely beneficial to the world\'s consumption of the new energy resource! Otherwise, with so many currencies in the world, settlements of new energy resource transactions would take an enormous amount of work! The decision made by the three pillars to use their veto rights is one that is extremely selfish and doesn\'t consider the rest of the world in the slightest!"

"The Red Moon Federation would like to raise an objection!"

"The Etruscan Underworld would like to raise an objection!"

"The Irish Underworld would like to raise an objection!"

"The Star Cluster Alliance would like to raise an objection!"

The floodgates were truly open now!

Everyone had risen up to reject the three pillars\' veto rights, and this had never happened before. Even the death gods of the Utopia Alliance had chosen to remain silent, and the ruler death gods of the three pillars were under immense pressure.

Anko took a deep breath as she also stood up and raised her hand. Amid the raucous commotion, her voice wasn\'t all that prominent, but she still chose to participate in this revolutionary movement without any qualms or reservations.

"The Celtic Underworld stands firmly by the Cathayan Underworld\'s decision! Anchoring the dragon jade to the new energy resource provides only benefits to small and medium-sized underworlds, and we won\'t give up these benefits just to cater to the wishes of the three pillars! Please reconsider your decision to exercise your veto rights!"

Giltine also stood up beside Anko as she raised her hand high up into the air. "Objection! This is not the time to be exercising your veto rights! The three pillars have lost sight of their rightful duties!"

Thanatos, Yamaraja, and Anubis looked on in astonishment at all of the hands raised against them. The voice of the world was extremely clear, and even the chairmen of the top 10 consortiums had joined them.

In that instant, their hearts truly sank to rock bottom. They felt as if they were facing an insurmountable wave that was going to inundate them all.

"Have you all gone insane?" Yamaraja yelled in a desperate voice. "Do you know what you\'re doing right now? You\'re feeding a monster! You will never have any speaking rights in this world from now on! This is a grave error that all of you are making!!"
