As they were busy showing off their level to each other, they ignored Hines Myers. Thanks to that, Larsen had to visit the Tang Empire's booth once again.
"Do you need something from us, Representative Larsen?" Wei Xi confronted him again.
"Can you listen to what my Leader has to say until the end? You know it's rude to ignore someone that speaks to you?" Larsen was a bit hostile with his words.
"I know, but your Leader does not speak to us specifically. I don't think it's rude at all." Wei Xie returned with a smile.
"But it's rude to interrupt someone when he is speaking, don't you know that?" Hines Myers interjected.
"I know, that's why we immediately turn on the canceling noise so we will not interrupt your speech, Sir Hines." Wei Xi maintained his smile. "Also, we are here to listen to what the System wants to say to us, not to join your ideal government. So yeah, The Tang Empire is not interested in the Central Government or whatever."
"Are you saying you don't want to work together to rebuild our world?" Hines Myers squinted his eyes at Wei Xi.
"Wow! Wow!" Li Shuang stood up from the chair. "Please don't put your words into our faction. Did we ever say that we don't want to work together? Can you remind us when we mentioned that part, Sir Hines?"
"You don't say it, but your words imply that. Am I wrong?" Hines Myers continued.

"So you are going to decide not to join the Central Government without your leader's agreement. Can you make that big decision for your faction?" Hines Myers smiled as he revealed that the Leader of the Tang Empire did not attend the World Congress to the others.
"I don't know why you can't read something easy like this as a leader of a faction. If you delegate your subordinate into a congress or diplomatic mission, does that mean you don't trust your subordinate? Is that what you are trying to imply now, Hines?" Zhang Mengyao did not bother with the formality anymore. "If our leader delegates us to attend the World Congress, our leader obviously trusts our decision-making."
"Shut up! Woman!" Hines pointed his finger while raising his voice. "You should just stay in the kitchen. This is-"
Zhang Mengyao cut him off midway. "The minor factions should think twice before joining this Central Government. Apparently, The Central Government only allows men to speak, and they value you based on gender. We, The Tang Empire, do not value people based on gender. As long as you have the capability for a position, we will appoint you in that position regardless of your gender."
Zhang Mengyao used that to counter Hines Myers. This guy tried to make the Tang Empire their enemy by rejecting their proposal to join the Central Government, so she did not hold back from retaliating.
Half of the factions brought women with them, so Hines Myers was offending those women, including the Shiva Federation, who brought twenty women with them. After saying that, Zhang Mengyao turned on the canceling noise again. She did not want to listen to Hines Myers for the remaining half an hour.
Hines Myers pointed his finger at the Tang Empire while saying something, but they could not listen to him with the canceling noise. So, they did not know what happened to the Central Government, but it seemed there was friction between them after a confrontation with the Tang Empire.
When the discussion time was over, the System asked the participants to return to their booth. It was time to vote.
——————————
Mortal Level Tower
Sky Level Tower
Ancient Level Tower
Heaven and Hell Level Tower
God Level Tower
——————————
That was the choice in front of Zhang Mengyao, who had the power to vote for the Tang Empire. She chose what Tang Shaoyang would choose, which was the Ancient Level Tower. After three minutes, the voting was over, and the System revealed the result.
——————————
Mortal Level Tower: 130 votes
Sky Level Tower: 790 votes
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAncient Level Tower: 30 votes
Heaven and Hell Level Tower: 0
God Level Tower: 0

"The result is in our expectation. The majority of factions choose the Sky Level Tower." Zhang Mengyao muttered in a low voice. After a while, she realized that the other factions were looking toward them, all of them. "Why are they looking at us? Has everyone joined the Central Government and decided to be hostile toward us?"
"I don't think so." Li Shuang shook her head. "It must be because of the vote result. They must have guessed the thirty votes of the Ancient Level Tower from us."
The Tang Empire was the only faction with no allies so far, and the VIP had thirty votes. So everyone could easily guess where those thirty votes came from. "They must think we are crazy for choosing the Ancient Level Tower." Wei Xi let out a chuckle.
"Not just them, I think so too. I think we are crazy to choose the Ancient Level Tower." Kang Jiayi interjected.
[That concludes the first World Congress for Earth. We will hold the Fighting Tournament within three weeks. Please prepare your best fighter to fight to get the rewards. Then a week later, Earth Dimensional Tower will be summoned in a random territory, and the players from Earth have chosen to summon the Sky Level Tower.]
[Good luck with your endeavor, Players from Earth. The auditorium will be closed in two hours. So you have two hours extra to stay, or you can go back immediately if you wish to.]
The System stopped speaking afterward, and the timer appeared above the platform. Zhang Mengyao stood up from the chair. "Let's make preparations for this Earth Dimensional Tower before he returns. We will finish three Survival Games within three weeks and win the Fighting Tournament."
