But the Bloodline Faction's conjecture still involves the Abyssal System's Bloodline Faction's conjecture, which made him hesitant.

The precedent involving the Divine System was right there.

"The upper limit set by the Faith Wizard Faction is too high to control, that's normal."

Lor calmly presented his pre-prepared excuse, "For the Abyssal Mage Faction, we can prohibit Bloodline Wizards above Fourth Ring from changing paths and validate it from apprentice level."

"At that time, apprentices not allowed to verify must not absorb higher-level Demon Bloodlines, only stacking Zero-rank Abyssal Demon Bloodlines."

"If this can break through to the Fourth Ring, it would be enough to prove that the Abyssal Mage Faction has no upper limit."

"What do you think of my idea?"

Only stacking Zero-rank Demon Bloodlines would undoubtedly be much more troublesome.

But this step had to be taken because only then could other speakers be assured.

"If you insist, then you should initiate the small meeting first." After thinking through Lor's words carefully, Yasen finally said, "The chance of your proposal passing in the Grand Council is low, but in the small meeting, it should receive some support."

Given Lor's insistence and the strong feasibility of the proposed experimental method, he found it difficult to argue further, so he simply offered some advice.

The harm caused by the Faith Wizards to Fourth Ring Wizards is far greater than to Fifth Ring Mages.

Therefore, Lor could only initiate the small council first before possibly publishing this conjecture.

"Alright, thank you for your advice." Lor breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him, and cut off the New Fire link.

The advice given by Yasen coincided with his original plan.

This argument convinced Yasen, and it should pose no problem convincing other speakers.

He took out the Continent Communication Device from his Space Ring, ignored Francis's Grand Council invitation, and instead issued twenty-three small council invitations using his speaker privileges.

"Huh, a small meeting invitation?" In the Grand Council communication hall, Jerald, who was chatting with a group of speakers, was surprised to see the newly popped-up invitation on the communication device.

"Strange, why would Speaker Lor send out a small meeting invitation at this time?" The Dragon Bear Speaker asked in confusion.

In his view, with the prestige Lor had accumulated over the years through various conjectures, proposing any agenda in the Grand Council would clearly be more advantageous than holding a small meeting.

"Let's go see what it's about." Francis said.

"Yes, alright."

"Let's go."

...

One by one, the speakers exited the Grand Council communication hall under the confused gaze of the legislators, turning instead to Lor's initiated small council communication hall.

Seeing the small meeting invitations made all speakers immediately click in.

Soon, twenty-three light screens appeared in front of Lor.

Upon entering, no one spoke; they just curiously looked at Lor, the initiator of this meeting.

"Sorry to disturb your reminiscing, but there is a topic I must first bring up in the small meeting."

Lor nodded an apology to everyone, and without delaying, immediately launched into the topic, "The reason for gathering you all here today is because I've constructed a new conjecture. This conjecture is somewhat special, which necessitates first discussing with everyone..."

He explained the content and experimental steps of the conjecture on "On the Feasibility of the Abyssal Mage Faction," then concluded, "If anyone has any opinions, please bring them up. I hope we can reach a consensus."

"Speaker Lor, can you ensure that the Abyssal Mage Faction won't repeat the mistakes of the Faith Wizard Faction?" The slightly impatient Thunder Element Speaker Theo was the first to speak up and ask.

"Of course...I cannot." Lor shook his head with some helplessness.

Though he could technically guarantee it, without experiments, any promise would be weak and powerless.

"Then I oppose." Theo said, "Most of us are trying to reach the Sixth Ring now, and we really don't want to see peace disrupted again."

"That's your freedom." Lor nodded, then shifted his gaze to others.

Opposition was anticipated, but as long as more than half supported it, it would be sufficient.

"I agree to push this conjecture." Francis followed with a statement.

He didn't state the reason for his agreement, only smiled at Lor, conveying everything unspoken.

With Lor's proposed procedure, the risks aren't high and remain within an acceptable range, so push it forward.

"I also agree." Yasen stated.

"I agree." The Gold Element Speaker Yiao spoke.

"I agree..."

"Seconded."

"Opposed."

One by one, speakers expressed their opinions.

Almost all Bloodline Wizard Speakers expressed their agreement; Lor's conjecture aimed to break their confinement, leaving them with no reason to oppose.

Only a few overly conservative Bloodline Wizard Speakers voiced opposition.

Among the Elemental Mages, benefiting from Lor's prior connections, nearly half agreed to promote the conjecture.

This led to an absurd result where the final vote count for agreement and opposition was 18 to 5.

Seeing this vote count, Lor was delighted and immediately announced, "I also agree, with a final vote count of 19 to 5, the proposal passes. Does anyone have other questions? If not, let's move on to the Grand Council."

He realized that he had overcomplicated the issue.

Though there were indeed some conservative faction speakers who chose to oppose, those willing to stand with him were clearly more numerous.

As for how much of it was due to personal relations or stances, that was not important.

The key takeaway was that through today's vote, Lor gained more confidence in directing civilization's focus and carrying out large-scale development when the planar era begins.

Currently, among the upper echelons, the progressives far outnumber the conservatives.

As Lor announced the result, one by one the speakers' screens dimmed, and many gave Lor a complicated look before leaving.

This newly appointed speaker, though previously regarded with dread and admiration by many, was still treated as a junior.

But today's small meeting made them truly realize one thing.

Speaker Lor had firmly established his foothold among the ranks of the speakers.

From now on, they should earnestly recognize this speaker who rose from the Space Faction.

...

Grand Council communication hall.

The speakers entered one after another, soon gathering together.

"The first agenda for this meeting is regarding the promotion of Speaker Lor's new conjecture."

Francis glanced at the list of legislators and, seeing no absences among the 260 members, said, "Speaker Lor recently constructed a new conjecture, titled 'On the Feasibility of the Abyssal Mage Faction'."

"The specific content of this conjecture is..."

"We will now commence voting; if anyone has opinions, please voice them."

"Agreed."

"Seconded."

"I also agree."

As speakers began casting their affirmative votes, the legislators exchanged looks, frequently turning their eyes to the three additional Faith Wizard legislators.

Regarding the other speaker voting, including Lor, they dared not offend.

"Why are you all looking at me?"

Five-Ring Fire Element Faith Wizard Cody felt their stares and rolled his eyes, "This matter was proposed by Speaker Lor and agreed upon by other speakers, if you have any objections, just speak up!"

Regarding only securing a legislative seat himself in the end, he didn't mind.

Anyway, even as a speaker, he likely wouldn't have much say in the end.

With this power struggle, he'd rather enjoy some entertainment.

Hearing Cody's words, the legislators became well-behaved, entering a focused state.

The two Faith Wizards beside Cody also breathed a sigh of relief; the earlier scene had been very stressful for them, but Cody had fortunately handled it.

"Legislator Cody, do you have any objections?" Francis lowered his gaze, looking at Cody with a slight smile.

"No, how could I dare to have any opinions?" Cody spread his hands.

"Then be quiet, the order of the Grand Council should not be disturbed." Francis reprimanded.

Meanwhile, Amy gave him a fierce look.

"Alright, alright, I'll be quiet; you all carry on." Seeing that no one else was taking his bait, Cody regrettably sighed, losing more fun to watch.

Following this episode, the Grand Council proceeded smoothly.

It wasn't until ten days later that the development policy for the next century was finalized.
