《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Rean remembered something after that, saying, "Oh, right! Let me know when Malaka and Agis appear. Those two are also friends from before we met. They were battling on another front during the war, so we sent someone to bring them over here."
Malo nodded. "Alright, Rean." After that, Malo looked at Fizer and asked, "Does Master intend to become an ancestor of our sect then? Or do you want to stay as a guest elder?"
Fizer pondered over the question for a bit before saying, "Since it was my idea to stay, I might as well go all out. Just announce me as the new ancestor of the sect. As for Rean and Roan, they can become elders instead." Fizer then looked at Rean before continuing, "You two are still in the Nascent Soul Realm, and the human race, albeit small, still have a lot of them when you consider those who lived in the Demon Beast Continent. We also have those at the Soul Transformation and Saint Realms. It's just that I only know of 12 people that reached that level."
Rean was more than happy to accept the idea. "That's great! We were selected as the ancestors of the sect basically because there wasn't anyone stronger than us. But with Senior here, we won't need to take up that job anymore. We can focus more on our cultivation." After that, he warned Fizer, "However, Senior Fizer must understand that this is a democratic sect."
"De-demo-democratic? What's that?" Naturally, Fizer had never heard that word before.
"That means that the positions in the sect, including Sect Master, are selected through a majority vote. Every single member can participate in choosing a new one in case Malo ever steps down. The same is said for the elders of the sect that had been selected when it was created." Rean wasn't lying when he said that. The sect did indeed have a few members who took positions as elders, even though they weren't that different in age. The only exceptions were Burio and Solan, two of the adults Rean got in the past. They were also voted as Sect Elders even though their cultivation didn't match the young ones.

Fizer was quite surprised by those words. It wasn't as if he never participated in a decision using votes. However, something like the Sect Leader position would definitely be selected by the strongest members of a sect. Even in the Zasfin territories, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary for bloodbaths to happen when such a moment arrived. To think that the Freedom Sect allowed every single member to have the power to decide. To him, it was unheard of. "I don't see how a system like this could work. Others might use their higher power to force the weaker members to vote for them, you know? Then, the opposing party would do the same. As far as I can see, this has the potential to divide a sect."
Rean shrugged his shoulders as he said in response, "Which means we would just look like any other sect out there, right?"
"This..." Indeed. Wasn't such an outcome just a different way to arrive at the same issues that happened in other sects? "Then, why would you follow this more bothersome approach?"
Malo was the one to explain the reasoning behind it. "Very simple. That's because Senior's worries are just possibilities. There has never been anyone to try it before, so we might as well give it a go. Who knows? It might really work. At the very least, our Freedom Sect is pretty united, even after having an election over the positions."
Fizer still felt it to be unnecessary. However, he was the outsider who just joined, so he didn't know much about the sect. "Well, we will see how things go in the future, then. After all, it'll take a very long time until you need to step down from your position while the entire sect already accepts you."

"However..." Fizer still had a doubt. "Is it okay for me to simply become an Ancestor straight away? Isn't there a need for election as well?"
Poliana, who was also there, shook her head as she explained, "The position of an ancestor is merely figurative."
"Figurative?"
Poliana nodded, saying, "Exactly. It means that the ancestor has no power over the decision of the sect."
"What?!" This time, Fizer was really shooked. "How could that be? I would still be the strongest member, you know?"
Poliana still denied the idea. "It's exactly because you are the strongest that we can't let you have a position of power. The rest of the sect would be easily influenced by your words. We need our ancestors to have a neutral position, just like Rean and Roan did. They are here to help the sect stay safe. Of course, they will also benefit from it. But ultimately, their only job is to cultivate and let us use their names to expand our forces."
Malo smiled and continued from there, saying, "Simply put, Master can sit tight and leave everything to us. This is our Sect, and we'll manage it. Unless we really need Master's help, we won't bother you at all. It's a very comfy position if you ask me. After all, the lower-level members will work on everything. Just Master's name alone is already the greatest contribution we could get from you."
Fizer scratched the back of his head after hearing that. If one asked him, he would definitely want to use the normal method. However, he had just got the disciple he had wished for after so long, so he didn't want to ruin it. As for forcefully taking control over the sect? The thought didn't pass through his head at all. In his head, Rean, Roan, Celis, and Kentucky were all very close to the Stage Nine Demon Beasts. He didn't have a death wish just yet. Not to mention that taking control over a sect where everyone would hate him for it would be the worst possible idea. One must remember that all the sect members had amazing talents. Each Purple Color Aptitude cultivator in the sect had a huge chance to surpass even him in the future.

The year is 2044, as you might imagine technology has advanced. People are people. And the world economy is still in shambles. America experienced a full financial collapse about a decade before. Riots, rebalance, and redistribution. David was 13 when the protest massacre occurred when his mother died. Of course, the world does not rotate around a teenager. Four years of business college and two good friends and a dream of developing real power armor just to cosplay as a space marine. Of course when you got millions and no real drive for anything else after two divorces. You make it happen. All David had to look forward to was his five minutes of fame as an extra to the next Halo game presentation. They expected him to wear cheap cosplay. Instead, he brought about a million dollars of gear with him. All David expected was five minutes of fame before he turns into a bachelor shut-in for the rest of his life. Instead, the Universe got an update. Witness the rise of the Order of the Free Wardens. Witness the rise of the council of races. Witness the legend of the Dreadnaught. Greetings, I am Zalex.
