160: For humanity!

The God of War Palace conference hall was silent.

Only Thunder God's deep voice echoed like a great bell, lingering endlessly.

"Now, let's welcome our Fourth Chairman, Chen Fan!"

Thunder God smiled at Chen Fan, making a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you, Thunder God!"

Chairman Chen Fan returned a smile, stood up, and walked towards the podium.

He stood tall and walked with such resolute and steady steps, not like an eighteen-year-old, full of imposing presence.

Arriving at the fourth seat, Chairman Chen Fan stood tall, quietly observing everyone below the stage.

His expression was natural, as if he was contemplating something.

In the second row of the conference hall, Yao Rao and Isadora sat next to each other, their eyes filled with excitement.

Women are fond of heroes, and even Valkyries like them are no exception.

The young, handsome, and immensely powerful Chairman Chen Fan was deeply admired by them.

Just as the two were completely captivated by Chairman Chen Fan,

at that moment, the large screen behind Chairman Chen Fan suddenly lit up.

As the images switched, Chairman Chen Fan's past achievements were displayed one by one:

And each displayed image was accompanied by a clear date—

On August 4, 2017, Chairman Chen Fan joined the 492nd regiment of the Ninth Army of the Jingji Garrison, becoming a Senior Warriors;

On August 5th, Chairman Chen Fan supported Human Base No. 0231, slaying a High-level Beast General Silver Moon Giant Wolf, two Mid-level Beast Generals, and several Low-level Beast Generals;

On August 7th, Chairman Chen Fan supported the War Dragon Group base during a Level 3 Beast Tide, slaying several High-level Beast Generals;

On August 17th, during the battle of No. 9 Relic, Chairman Chen Fan slew several High-level Lords;

On August 23rd, Chairman Chen Fan, with his Advanced God of War and Psycher Master abilities, joined forces with Lin Xinghe to fight the King-level Monster Giant Squid;

On August 25th, Chairman Chen Fan broke through to Planetary Level;

On August 28th, Chairman Chen Fan purged City 006, slaying three King-level Monsters... In just a dozen seconds, these glorious achievements of Chairman Chen Fan were displayed before everyone like a movie.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!!!

Without warning, a collective gasp of cold air echoed throughout the conference hall.

The final image froze on Chairman Chen Fan cleaving the Black-Crowned Golden Eagle.

At that moment, the power Chairman Chen Fan unleashed struck fear into everyone present, a primal fear of life itself.

Wielding a Battle Blade to destroy a King-level Monster—what terrifying combat power!

Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts trembled, and they all secretly thought that Chairman Chen Fan's position as Fourth Chairman seemed a bit too low.

Chairman Chen Fan's eyes were calm, his gaze sweeping over the few people seated in front of him—Mo Handerson, Yisite, Tripathi, Sokonov, and Jia Yi.

"In this life, with me here, I will never let you sacrifice your souls."

With that thought, Chairman Chen Fan's aura instantly became sharp.

Feeling Chairman Chen Fan's gaze, everyone except Jia Yi was momentarily puzzled.

However, Chairman Chen Fan just smiled at them and said nothing more.

He took a deep breath, and then said,

"First of all, it is my honor to stand here and become the Fourth Chairman, and I thank Hong, Thunder God, and Xue Zhan for their recommendations."

"But, I only have one idea!"

Chairman Chen Fan's voice suddenly grew heavier, his gaze firm, with a faint flame rising.

"I just want all humans on Earth to no longer be threatened by monsters!"

"For humanity, all monsters must die!"

Chairman Chen Fan's voice resonated in everyone's hearts, like a thunderclap, immediately stirring up a storm.

"I will use my Battle Blade to cut off the heads of all High-level Monsters!!"

Immediately after, Chairman Chen Fan raised his right hand and brought it down, making a decisive chopping gesture.

"Everyone, whoever wishes to join me, please stand up."

Hong was the first to stand up.

Thunder God and Xue Zhan stood up together.

Everyone in the conference hall stood up.

At this moment, a young voice chuckled from the first row:

"It would truly be a pity for my Planetary Level combat power, Lin Xinghe, not to go kill monsters."

Hong, dressed in black, said calmly: "As members of the God of War Palace, which one of us hasn't already disregarded our lives?"

The bald man nodded at the same time, his expression leaving no room for doubt.

Jia Yi said in a deep voice: "It's difficult to live without eliminating monsters; even as a council member, it's in vain!"

Huang Qianzhong, General Ling, Ma Liang, and Ye Daoxuan all loudly declared: "We are all the same!!"

"Follow the Fourth Chairman and clear away the beast calamity!"

"..."

The entire atmosphere of the conference hall was ignited by Chairman Chen Fan.

At this moment, he was like a spark thrown onto a pile of dry kindling.

With a boom, flames shot to the sky!

Among those who stood up, Isadora and Yao Rao stood shoulder to shoulder.

Their beautiful eyes were completely filled with Chairman Chen Fan's figure.

This young man's call was met with a resounding response.

Amidst an intense atmosphere, the God of War Palace council concluded.

Some strategies and goals were eloquently presented by Chairman Chen Fan, and everyone was amazed.

At this moment, even Hong and Thunder God, two seasoned martial artists, couldn't help but look at Chairman Chen Fan with higher regard.

This young man not only harbored grand ambitions but also possessed a meticulous mind and a powerful audacity and means to control the overall situation.

At this moment, Hong and Thunder God exchanged glances, both revealing their undisguised admiration and satisfaction for Chairman Chen Fan, the newly appointed Fourth Chairman.

At four in the afternoon, the two-hour God of War Palace council concluded.

Some combat strategies and details were formulated—"Three years of training, five years of counterattack!!"

Although Chairman Chen Fan set a very high tone, he considered it from a long-term perspective.

The three years were entirely prepared for him.

He needed to use these three years to significantly improve his strength.

By the time he grew stronger, it was expected that the number of Planetary Level martial artists in Great Xia and even the entire world would have significantly increased.

This was also one of Chairman Chen Fan's goals—

He would use the Blade Hell Corridor and search various ancient civilization relics for natural treasures, improving himself while also benefiting all martial artists of the God of War Palace.

Even if it was a clumsy method of forcing growth, Chairman Chen Fan wanted to cultivate a large number of Planetary Level martial artists.

After the God of War Palace council meeting, Chairman Chen Fan and others went together to the banquet hall.

Compared to the hundred or so people in the conference hall, there were noticeably more people here.

In this lavishly decorated grand banquet hall, there were nearly a hundred more men in evening gowns and suits.

Without exception, they were all heads of various powerful nations and forces around the world.

Even if they were not God of War powerhouses, they were temporarily authorized to attend this highest-level world banquet.

This time, their arrival was all for the Fourth Chairman, Chairman Chen Fan.

After all, being able to befriend such a terrifyingly powerful and transcendent Planetary Level martial artist offered unspeakable benefits to all parties.

Near Chairman Chen Fan were elderly men in blue Zhongshan suits, like Kang Wei.

They looked amiable, like elders.

Chairman Chen Fan only took one glance and knew that these were the figures at the peak of Great Xia's power before the rr virus epidemic.

Even in this era where martial prowess reigned supreme, they were worth befriending.

"Chairman Chen Fan, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to Chairman Chen Fan on becoming the Fourth Chairman."

"The future of Great Xia depends on you."

Two elderly men still in the center of power looked at Chairman Chen Fan, their faces filled with relief and satisfaction.

"You flatter me, seniors; Chairman Chen Fan will certainly go through fire and water, no matter the cost!"

Chairman Chen Fan bowed slightly and replied with a smile.

"Good, very good!"

"..."

Amidst a pleasant atmosphere, the banquet began.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, Chairman Chen Fan gradually became acquainted with the world's most powerful figures.

Each of them wanted to befriend Chairman Chen Fan, the Fourth Chairman with an endless future.

Amidst the laughter and pleasantries, Chairman Chen Fan felt the wonderful sensation brought by strength and power.

Envy, flattery, reverence... Despite being in such a situation, Chairman Chen Fan's true heart remained unlost.

Everything for humanity was not just talk.

The current monster disaster, the impending Golden-Horned Beast disaster, and even the more distant covetousness of those Universe Overlords towards Earth... All of this was Chairman Chen Fan's motivation to constantly grow stronger!

Only with absolute strength could he protect everything.

Unconsciously, Chairman Chen Fan quietly strengthened his inner resolve.

Mist Island was his first target!!
