Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 185 - 128: Divine Power Mirror, All Living Beings (Two in One)

Lou Qinglan took a deep breath, sat in her seat, closed her eyes, and pressed the projection button; the next moment, the scenery of her office changed, and she appeared in a spacious meeting hall.

Around the oval table, a dozen company directors took their seats in turn.

One by one, the meeting procedures were projected into the air, and as the wall clock reached the appointed time, the meeting began.

In this internal board meeting, it took just a dozen minutes for the directors to decide on thirty-seven strategic adjustments and business changes involving significant company funds.

It wasn't until near the end that they turned to the topic of greatest concern to Lou Qinglan.

"...Divine Power Giant Company is willing to pay the above price to obtain the ten-year usage rights for 199-Divine Power Mirror."

"I disagree!"

Lou Qinglan said coldly, unable to suppress the rage bursting forth in her tone.

The 199-Divine Power Mirror was the last item her parents sent back to the company before they got lost on the Heavenly Road.

It had only one function: imprinting Divine Skills.

Martial Artists in the Chains Realm nurturing the Blood and Flesh Divine Power represented a significant leap in combat power.

Besides the sublimation and transformation of the Taoist Body into Divine, imprinting was the only other method.

This meant that aside from the Martial Artists who had forged their superior cultivation bodies, other warriors in the Chains Realm needed to rely on certain powers to nurture their Divine Skills.

This was the legacy left by Lou Qinglan's parents and also something she promised to eventually help Ji Jingqiu with.

At this moment, Lou Qinglan did not question why something left by her parents should be used by outsiders; she clearly understood such words were futile.

"This does not comply with the company's interests!"

She declared unequivocally, using a seemingly noble phrase to win a few unusual looks from the directors.

This included the chairman of the board.

The old man sitting at the head briefly showed a glimpse of appreciation in his eyes before shaking his head and saying:

"This aligns with the company's interests. Besides gaining three space transport stations and a complete logistics transportation line, the company will also gain the friendship of Divine Power within the Business Alliance."

"Divine Power Giant Company is one of the leaders in the Xilin Business Alliance, and they have much more influence within the alliance than we do."

Lou Qinglan flatly said, "This transport line means nothing to the company. Most of the logistics business between the eastern and western parts of the Federation is controlled by Divine Power Heavy Industry. Even if this transport line comes into our company's hands, how much business can our salespeople snatch from them?"

One of the directors with a mustache immediately responded, "Divine Power Heavy Industry gives away a portion of its business to small logistics companies that depend on them every year."

Lou Qinglan sneered, "Have you all prepared to live on the handouts from Divine Power Heavy Industry? And how long do they plan to be generous? Don't forget, owning three space transport stations also means hefty annual maintenance fees and a series of miscellaneous 'bribes'!"

The mustached director immediately retorted, "Not for long, just give us a few years, and our salespeople will be able to stabilize their footing and spearhead new business directions for the company!"

Lou Qinglan calmly suggested, "Then I propose you get the Sales Department in order first, clean up the group that's taking kickbacks."

"You..." The mustached director's eyelid twitched, about to say something when he saw the old man at the head raise his hand, signaling him to be quiet.

"Does everyone else feel the same?" asked the chairman slowly.

The other board members communicated with glances and nodded slightly, clearly agreeing more with Lou Qinglan.

They all thought it was an unprofitable deal.

The 199-Divine Power Mirror could entirely become the foundation of Star Group's standing.

The chairman was silent for a moment, then sighed:

"In fact, what the company values is not that transportation line, but the friendship of Divine Power Giant Company."

"Gentlemen, I don't know if you've noticed, but there's barely any fresh blood on the market anymore, no promising newcomers. The territories already opened up by the Federation are filled, appearing prosperous, but in actuality, the market is dying."

"My risk assessors warn me every year that if the Federation Government can't open new markets, new territories, then the worst scenario might occur this 'year'."

The old man paused, seemingly mockingly, "They always emphasize it's 'this year'."

Lou Qinglan frowned, "What does the worst scenario refer to?"

The old man's deep gaze fixed on her, saying:

"It refers to a war in the western Federation."

Everyone straightened up, a solemn expression crossing their faces.

Given the fortunes of those present, they were well aware of the current situation in the Western regions.

With the support of certain forces behind the scenes, the rebel army in the West was unstoppable, having already occupied four time zones, nearly half of the Federation's western territories!

Oddly, the Federation's upper echelons had shown strange attitudes, with neither any officials nor Grandmasters or Masters rushing to the battlefield to quell the disturbances until now.

As for the local Masters in the Western Federation, either they had already joined the rebel army or established their own factions.

This situation made everyone present feel uneasy.

They could all sense that beneath the centuries of calm waters of the Federation, a storm the likes of which had never been seen before was brewing.

Lou Qinglan instinctively argued, "With the Six Great Families and so many Masters and Grandmasters, how could the Federation start a war?"

The old man was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "In fact... more than a hundred years ago, this war should have started, and the Six Great Families you mentioned are also part of this war."

"Don't idolize them; they are guardians of the Federation, but they are also human, and they can change."

"Including the Masters, Grandmasters, and those dojos, companies, and academies you mentioned... they will all be part of the war."
