"But it's not for us to decide. What we can do is to use our votes." Li Shuang pointed outside the barrier. "The other factions have formed a group. Our pitiful thirty votes will barely change the result."
Everyone looked outside, sure enough, groups were formed among the faction, and the Tang Empire was the only lone group.
"Even so, we will still vote for the Ancient Level Tower." Zhang Mengyao voiced his thoughts. "That way, we are eliminating the weaker factions to compete for resources with us. Our rival in the tower is only the other ten VIP factions."
"I like that shrewd idea, but are you sure we can get something from the Ancient Level Tower?" Li Shuang totally agreed with that. "You are The Supreme Commander, and you know the most The Tarrior's capability."
"If we can finish the three Survival Games in time, our army is strong enough to enter the Ancient Level Tower." Wei Xi had to agree in this regard. "Don't forget in the fifth stage of the Survival Game. We will be sent to another world that is more advanced than Earth in magic, skill, and class.
So yeah, we need to finish the three Survival Games before the fighting competition to increase our chance in the Ancient Level Tower."
Kang Jiayi noticed that Li Shuang trusted Wei Xi and Zhang Mengyao's judgment. Then he observed the others and found out that only he worried about the tower's future. The others looked confident to face the Ancient Level Tower.
At this moment, someone was standing next to the Tang Empire's barrier. The person knocked the barrier with his hand like he was knocking on the door. Wei Xi stood up and approached the man. "Turn off the canceling noise only." Zhang Mengyao nodded and turned off the canceling noise.
"What do you need?" Wei Xi was direct with his words. The opposite party was a man in his mid-thirties. He was a westerner with blonde hair, smiling politely at Wei Xi. "Fortunately, the System truly helps us with the language barrier. Hello Sir, my name is Larsen, a representative from The World Union."
"Wei Xi, a representative from the Tang Empire. Do you need something with us?" Wei Xi nodded his head.
"Yes, Sir. My Leader has a big project for all factions in this auditorium. We hope you can turn off the canceling noise to listen to what my Leader is about to say." Larsen smiled.
"We may listen to your Leader, but we are not necessary to agree to your Leader's proposal." Wei Xi nodded.
'Heh, you will be forced to agree, or else you will make the other factions be your enemy.' Larsen's smile became wider, and he nodded. "It's fine, Sir. It's just a mere proposal from The World Union."
After saying that, Larsen left and went to another booth. Wei Xi returned to his seat. "What do you guys think this World Union wants to do?"
"I have the gist of it." Li Shuang squinted her eyes as she looked at the World Union's booth plaque. "You should be able to guess by their name. They want to make a central government for the world or something like that. If we don't agree to join them, they will make us look like a greedy group or something terrible in front of the others. It's easy to read."
"So, that's the reason they gather North Federation, Saint Guild, and Blue Vest?" Cao Jingyi muttered in a low voice. "Those four VIP factions are enough to deter the smaller factions, forcing the smaller factions to join them. No small factions dare to oppose those four major powers, and it seems Amazon Guild and Shiva Federation joined the project too."
Cao Jingyi noticed the Amazon Guild and Shiva Federation's representative joined the big group. Six out of eleven VIP factions united as one. The First Order Guild had a good relationship with the Revolution Kingdom, and there were a dozen smaller factions joined them too. The Uprising Guild and The Polar Guild made a separate group by themselves with the remaining smaller factions.
Just like that, six different groups were formed in the First World Congress.
"We are alone, I guess?" Kang Xue smiled wryly as she realized that the Tang Empire was the only faction that stood alone.
"It does not matter if we are alone or together. As long as we have Bro-Lord Tang Shaoyang, none of them are a match for us." Lu An chimed.
"That's true. We don't need to worry about being outnumbered. I can capture a few zombie lords to keep up the number if necessary." Yu Shun followed. The two youngest members in the group said as if it was not a big deal.
"Here he comes. Let's listen to what he wants to say. If we are not interested in it, we can just turn back the canceling noise." Li Shuang called out as someone approached the platform. The platform in the middle served no purpose until the leader of the World Union used it.
The leader of the World Union was a man in his early forties. He was wearing a formal suit and donning the hair neatly. He had the aura of a leader and looked reliable from the outside.
"Hello, fellow players. My Name is Hines Myers, a leader of the World Union." Hines' deep voice echoed through the auditorium. "During the discussion time, I have talked with several leaders of the other factions, including other VIP factions. Amazon Guild, Saint Guild, North Federation, Blue Vest, and Shiva Federation."
"After having a discussion for a while, we agreed on something important for the future of The Earth. I will share our discussion and give the other factions a fair chance to join us for a better cause. As everyone knows, we will be entering the Earth Dimensional Tower and facing the other players from the other worlds.
Instead of fighting at each other for the resource, we have agreed to fight the other players from the other worlds together! We agree to form a central command for the Earth, and we will be calling it the Central Government!" Hines Myers raised his voice at the end.
