Xian Cheng, the previous leader of the Alliance of Commerce, finished speaking, and everyone acted, using their divine thoughts as a knife to brand their names onto the Immortal Crystal Stone above their heads.
The process was brief, and after a dozen breaths or so, everyone stopped.
Immediately after, Xian Cheng struck upwards with a gentle palm, and a tide of Immortal Light swiftly covered the entire Immortal Crystal Stone.
The names that everyone had engraved before now lit up.
"All right, the names of those who are interested in running for the position of leader have now been revealed, a total of one thousand five hundred and thirty-two people. The first round of voting will now begin, with the five hundred receiving the least votes immediately eliminated," Xian Cheng declared.
Everyone immediately began to use divine thoughts as their votes, casting them onto the names on the Immortal Crystal Stone.
One divine thought counted as one vote.
