1069: Blue Star, only one voice is needed

“Hand it over to me?”

Wang Chen was startled when he heard this, then immediately stood up.

“Saint Zhang, this junior is not capable enough, how can I take on such an important responsibility? It would be more like it if you let me Charge into battle…”

He spoke, declining the offer.

“Don’t decline yet, commanding a battle isn’t some terrifying monster.”

Before Wang Chen could finish speaking, Qian Yiqiang, who was sitting nearby, smiled and said:

“With great power comes great responsibility, and besides, letting you command fully doesn’t mean you have to do everything yourself or handle all the trivial matters personally. Your most important role is to sit in command with your formidable strength and stabilize the morale of the army.”

“For this expedition against the Dead Spirit Race in the Netherworld, we old fellows are stretched thin. As the strongest Awakener second only to us, you are the most suitable for this position.”

“That’s right. At that time, I will arrange for Zhang Zhilong and others to assist you with various matters, so you basically won’t need to be distracted.”

Zhang Dingguo nodded at this point, persuading Wang Chen.

Hearing this, Wang Chen had no choice but to solemnly accept the appointment.

However…

Stretched thin?

He had some doubts about what Senior Qian Yiqiang had said.

“Saint Zhang, is there perhaps still some danger that requires you and the other Seniors to personally oversee?”

Looking at Zhang Dingguo, Wang Chen asked with some confusion.

“This… indeed so!”

Zhang Dingguo glared at Qian Yiqiang, then said with a somewhat solemn tone:

“After thoroughly eliminating the Blood Clan, the current situation on Blue Star appears peaceful, but beneath the surface, undercurrents have long been surging, with various forces harboring their own hidden agendas.”

“And our Dragon Nation, at this time, is even more of a target.”

“Now that we have to send a portion of our forces to the Netherworld, we old fellows can even less afford to move lightly.”

“Moreover, most importantly, the national luck stone tablet’s state is not yet stable. This old man cannot carry the national luck stone tablet back to Blue Star and can only remain here in the Blood Clan World to slowly wait.”

“The Demon-Sealing Abyss, which this old man previously guarded, can now only be handed over to Hongwen and Yiqiang.”

“Therefore, to prevent various unforeseen circumstances, the important task of overseeing the army campaigning in the Netherworld must be borne by you.”

“This…”

Upon hearing what Zhang Dingguo said, Wang Chen’s expression also became solemn.

He hadn’t expected Saint Zhang to hold such a grave attitude towards the current situation on Blue Star, giving him a feeling that a storm was brewing.

“Saint Zhang, among the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, there are countless powerful worlds. Our Blue Star is merely an inconspicuous one among them. Any powerful world at the pinnacle probably has the ability to easily annihilate us…”

Looking at Zhang Dingguo and everyone present, Wang Chen felt very confused about the current situation:

“Under such circumstances, shouldn’t stability and concerted cooperation be our first choice?”

“Indeed so, but human nature is precisely like this, especially without external pressure, everyone wants to control more power and benefits.”

Zhang Dingguo nodded, his tone somewhat helpless:

“Throughout history, the development of Blue Star has always been like this, internal strife constantly consuming the vitality and vigor of our world.”

“Alright, such heavy matters are not something you, a young fellow, need to consider for now. You now carry the hopes of all of us. Go forth and continuously grow stronger, embark on the path of pursuing a higher Dao. We old fellows will do our best to escort you.”

As he finished speaking, Zhang Dingguo looked at Wang Chen, who was still looking solemn, and patted him on the shoulder.

“Yes.”

Wang Chen nodded, but his mood remained heavy; the joy of suddenly becoming a core high-ranking official of the Dragon Nation could not dilute it in the slightest.

…

…

Dragon Nation.

Otherworld Management Base.

In the temporary office of the Supreme Command for the Netherworld Campaign.

Wang Chen sat in a chair, quietly looking at the Blue Star map hanging on the opposite wall.

Several hours had passed since he parted ways with Senior Saint Zhang and the others, but a shadow still hung over Wang Chen’s heart.

“Blue Star is just an insignificant large world among the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, yet it has over two hundred different voices…”

“This is simply too many!”

“This situation… should end as soon as possible!”

Looking at the map, Wang Chen thought to himself.

But soon, he couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.

It was difficult, very difficult, to change this situation!

Zhang Dingguo, at the pinnacle of Awakeners, couldn’t do it, and even the increasingly powerful Dragon Nation couldn’t…

“Power!”

“Only transcendent power, the power to single-handedly suppress an entire world, can make the entire world speak with one voice!”

“I think I can try!”

Withdrawing his gaze from the map, Wang Chen looked at his own palm and slowly clenched his fist.

Knock knock knock!!!

At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

“Come in.”

Wang Chen composed himself and slowly spoke.

“Junior Brother, you said you’re now a dignified Marshal, yet you haven’t even gotten a female secretary. Don’t you feel like a failure?”

Bai Ziting walked in from outside the door, looking at Wang Chen and winking as he spoke.

After arriving at the Otherworld Management Base, Wang Chen’s appointment as the highest person in Charge had already been issued, giving him full authority to handle all matters concerning the Netherworld.

Of course, he mainly managed the broad directions, or rather, served as the military backbone of the entire expeditionary army. Other arrangements were planned by the General Staff, led by Zhang Zhilong, and then submitted to him for approval.

As for Bai Ziting’s presence here…

It was because his current identity was Wang Chen’s secretary.

“Heh heh!”

Hearing this, Wang Chen rolled his eyes and said to his playful Senior Brother in an irritated tone:

“Senior Brother, if you don’t mind, I do have a way to let you experience the life of a female secretary.”

“Gender Transformation Potion isn’t something too valuable.”

“If you want to drink it, I can give you ten bottles for free. It will definitely allow the potion’s effect to be permanently fixed.”

“No, no, no!”

“I was wrong!”

Upon hearing Wang Chen’s words, Bai Ziting immediately panicked.

This stuff was not to be drunk!

After being threatened, Bai Ziting dared not tease Wang Chen any further. He said seriously:

“Marshal, the engineers for building the cross-world teleportation channel have arrived and can begin construction of the cross-world teleportation channel at any time.”

“That fast?”

Wang Chen, who had been eager to try, was startled by the news, then his expression also became serious.

“Of course, Junior Brother. Your appointment as Marshal has already been issued, and the decision regarding the expedition to the Netherworld has been finalized. Military legions from various Small Worlds have already received orders to return.”

“It is estimated that within two days, the first thirty elite legions will assemble at the base, ready to depart.”

“Before that, we must build a stable cross-world teleportation channel in advance.”

Bai Ziting nodded and then took out a document and placed it in front of Wang Chen.

“This is the list of the first thirty elite legions, as well as their personnel configurations.”
