"Mr. Chen, please come in."

Huang Zheng'an gestured for him to enter, but his gaze involuntarily drifted toward Da Jin.

"Da Jin, stay here and don't wander off."

Chen Lin understood and immediately gave the order.

Da Jin nodded.

Its human-like demeanor relieved the surrounding law enforcement officers.

Don't let them fight this monster.

Although it had a gun, the golden feathers on its body shimmered with a metallic sheen, and they doubted whether bullets could penetrate its defenses.

As Chen Lin walked, he asked, "Has Ren Ke and the others not returned yet?"

"It will take another half hour. You two can rest here for a while until everyone arrives, then we'll have a meeting together."

Huang Zheng'an then personally led the two to a reception room and poured them tea.

He had already obtained some information from Yang Tian and Ren Ke.

The student named Chen Lin was the one who benefited the most from this operation.

What shocked him most was that he had even grasped control of that mysterious space.

"This must be Zheng Yue, right?"

Huang Zheng'an had a kind and approachable expression.

Zheng Yue nodded somewhat reservedly, "Mm."

She had never had contact with such a high-ranking leader before.

Huang Zheng'an smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, I heard you two have a good relationship. Have you ever considered joining the Management Bureau?"

Chen Lin immediately refused: "I don't have that idea for the time being. Director Huang, I heard that you and Ren Ke are now both deputy directors of the Administration Bureau?"

Huang Zheng'an chuckled and said, "Yes, Mr. Chen, if you've thought it through, you can contact us and join us anytime."

"Okay." Chen Lin nodded.

Huang Zheng'an then looked at Zheng Yue, "Zheng, have you ever thought about joining us?"

Zheng Yue glanced at Chen Lin and replied, "Director Huang, I'll think about it for a few more days and give you an answer."

"That's fine, we're all doing this voluntarily, so I won't bother you any longer."

Huang Zheng'an didn't seem to be really thinking about recruiting people.

After he left, Zheng Yue asked, "Chen Lin, should I join the Management Bureau?"

Chen Lin replied, "Don't you already have the answer?"

"But I'm still a little worried."

Zheng Yue lowered her head.

"It's alright. With the Moonlit Snow Listening skill, no one can hurt you."

For the time being, as long as Chen Lin doesn't make a move, she is indeed invincible on Blue Star.

Everyone else's signature weapon is inferior to the King's Divine Weapon.

"That's good, Chen Lin. Actually, I've always had a question I wanted to ask."

Zheng Yue looked a little embarrassed.

Chen Lin asked in surprise, "Tell me about it."

"Well... since you all traveled back two hundred years, aren't you all old men by now? But I only see that you're a bit more mature than before, nothing else has changed."

Chen Lin suddenly realized, picked up the tea on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Well, it's very simple. Two hundred years may seem like a long time, but most of it is actually spent in cultivation. Otherwise, no matter how monstrous one's talent is, one's cultivation level will not be very high."

"When one's cultivation level is low, it is common for one to go into seclusion for a few days or months; when one's cultivation level is high, it is common for one to go into seclusion for several years."

"Furthermore, if you stay in one environment and live a life without any ups and downs, your temperament will not change much."

"Just like you say, I'm composed, but that's only what you see. I might not actually be composed at all."

At the end, Chen Lin couldn't help but laugh.

Zheng Yue seemed to understand, but not quite. "Oh, I see. But I don't think the other people are like you described."

Chen Lin pondered for a moment and said, "They probably had a tough time over there, constantly fighting in danger, which would have caused a significant change in their personalities. That's normal."

Zheng Yue nodded. "That makes sense."

Then her expression turned somber.

"Unfortunately, many classmates couldn't come back."

Chen Lin paused for two seconds, then said, "Tianheng Continent isn't extremely dangerous, but the fact that fourteen of our classmates have survived for over two hundred years is quite a high probability."

Zheng Yue paused for a moment before muttering, "Oh right, I forgot about that. Some people, if they don't have good talent for cultivation, may only have a lifespan of less than a hundred years."

When the two of them got a little bored, Ren Ke and the others drove back.

"Ren Ke, when will the approval for our bureau's office building be granted?"

Li Xinran got out of the car, stretched her arms, and complained.

Ren Ke said, "It will probably take another two days. The location has been decided, but some renovations are still needed."

Li Xinran laughed and said, "That's great, it's just that there are too few people joining."

"There will be more and more, go in first."

Ren Ke walked towards the conference room.

Meanwhile, staff members came to the lounge to inform Chen Lin and the other person.

When Chen Lin and Zheng Yue arrived at the conference room, it was already full of people.

To his surprise, the seat assigned to him this time was the first one on the left.

"Shall we sit here?"

Chen Lin looked at Ren Ke, who was to the left of the main seat.

Huang Zheng'an was standing next to her.

Ren Ke nodded and replied, "That's right, you and Zheng Yue can sit down first, and we can begin our task summary for today."

Chen Lin didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.

Their positions were arranged downwards, with Li Xinran and Zhao Minghui among the classmates.

On the other side, Chen Lin had never seen more than half of the people there before; they must be high-ranking leaders from the law enforcement bureau.

Huang Zheng'an coughed and said, "Originally, we planned to carry out this mission of exploring the abnormal space for at least seven days, but we did not expect it to go so smoothly and only took half a day."

"Here, I would also like to thank Mr. Chen Lin, who not only saved the villagers but also found the core of the space's origin in advance, saving others as well."

Huang Zheng'an bowed slightly to Chen Lin in greeting.

Chen Lin's heart stirred slightly, but he simply nodded in response without speaking.

Huang Zheng'an continued, "This is the first mission for the Bureau. The difficulty was unknown, but the outcome was quite good. Now, please welcome Ren Ke, the deputy director of the Bureau and the person in charge of this mission, to report on the process and results of this mission."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and clapped.

Everyone else naturally agreed.

When the applause stopped, Ren Ke picked up the tablet in her hand.

"Although we made preparations for this mission in advance, but..."

She gave a brief summary of what happened inside, without hiding anything.

After she finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent, with most eyes fixed on Chen Lin.

"Chen Lin, I didn't expect you to be so lucky. You actually managed to find the core of that space's origin, and Zheng Yue was able to gain the approval of a king-level divine weapon."

Li Xinran spoke, her tone full of envy.

The same applies to the other students.

If it weren't for Lin Yu's example, they might have had other ideas.

But Lin Yu is still lying in the hospital, his fate unknown.

In particular, what Ren Ke said just now dispelled their unnecessary thoughts.

"The gods within the King's Divine Weapon have been resurrected and possess the ability to act on their own. Their combat power is no less than that of the King of the Dao."

The King of Slaying the Dao...

They had only heard of it, but had never seen it.

Chen Lin's classmates were all congratulating him and Zheng Yue, and no one dared to say anything more.

But some people on the other side expressed the opposite opinion.

"This is a joint mission between the Administration Bureau and the Enforcement Bureau. Since these two students obtained such an important treasure, why didn't they hand it over?"
