Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

The next moment, the shattered flesh and blood scattered everywhere suddenly began to roll back in a strange way.

The journey of flesh and blood back to the source.

The body is upright.

In a short while, it was pieced back together into a complete human form!

It happened in no more than two breaths.

of course.

Zhang Hao, who was busy escaping, did not see this strange scene.

At that moment, all he could think about was escaping. Only when he realized that the other party didn't seem to be chasing him did he reluctantly turn around for a look.

That one glance.

This immediately froze him in place.

Erdan stood motionless in place, like a wooden stake, his expression utterly blank.

But a figure had appeared beside him at some point.

He was tall and slender with a handsome face, like a celestial being. He exuded the aura of a superior, commanding respect without anger!

But Zhang Hao could still vaguely make out a familiar outline between his eyebrows.

His expression instantly became extremely excited:

"ginger……!"

He stopped abruptly as soon as he spoke, a look of fear in his eyes.

What is the other party's current identity?

It's Marshal Tiange!

He is a legendary hero revered by hundreds of millions of people in the Federation!

How could he address him by his first name?!

The address stuck in his throat, he couldn't say it no matter what he tried, as if a sad, thick barrier had already separated the two of them...

"What's wrong, Mouse!"

Just then, the person opposite spoke, using a familiar accent.

"Haven't seen me for years, and you don't even recognize me?"

"You're not that forgetful, are you?!"

Zhang Hao froze, then his eyes involuntarily reddened. He raised his hand to wipe them away, and exclaimed excitedly, "I never expected to see you under these circumstances!"

"If you'd been two seconds later, we'd only meet again in the next life!"

Jiang Chuan smiled.

"Don't worry."

Even if you've been dead for eight hundred years, I can still bring you back.

"What?"

Zhang Hao didn't hear those words clearly.

He's currently only a level 10 or so professional, and his hearing is only slightly better than the average person.

But Jiang Chuan waved his hand.

There was no explanation.

His gaze shifted to Erdan, who was standing quietly to the side.

"We'll talk about our past later."

"Let me see what's wrong with this guy."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao also became nervous.

He quickly said:

"Chuanzi, is there any hope for Erdan?"

"He seems to be possessed by a demon from the upper realm; he looked like a completely different person just now!"

"It is possible to save them."

Jiang Chuan nodded.

He didn't say anything more.

Zhang Hao was present.

He did not allow Erdan, who had already been enslaved, to speak directly.

After all, the servants' loyalty to him was absolute.

If Erdan were to call Zhang Hao "Master" right in front of a completely bewildered Zhang Hao...

That scene.

That's a bit too terrifying.

He communicated silently with Erdan through the Starry Sky Mirror.

A moment later, Jiang Chuan frowned.

There is no other reason.

Erdan, who was killed by him and then came back to life, only had his own soul inside him.

But the guy who possessed him had disappeared!

Jiang Chuan was immediately annoyed.

He was used to the method of killing first and then enslaving people to obtain intelligence, but he never expected that the other party could escape unscathed this time.

If I had known, I shouldn't have just killed him. I should have detained him and interrogated him first.

but.

He didn't come away empty-handed.

From Erdan, he learned that the "celestial being" had left something behind.

It is a secret technique.

Its name is "The Divine Descent Spell".

Erdan then took a scroll of silk from his bosom.

According to him, when the celestial being taught this secret method, he said that this method could invoke the spirits to possess a person, giving them various extraordinary abilities for a short period of time.

Moreover, it has no side effects.

But Jiang Chuan, now a cultivator, was not an ordinary person who could be easily fooled; he understood everything at a glance.

This is hardly an invitation to a deity.

This is clearly an extremely insidious method of possession!

If ordinary people try to "invite the gods" using this secret technique, they will only bring trouble upon themselves.

Just like Erdan.

The moment the opponent arrived, his soul was instantly obliterated.

This is what it means to encounter yourself.

Jiang Chuan, having grasped the power of life and possessing the ability to create, was able to reassemble Erdan's scattered soul.

What if it were someone else?

Even if they could defeat the possessed cultivator from the upper realm, they could not save Erdan's life.

Therefore, what he said to Zhang Hao just now.

There is no exaggeration whatsoever.

In fact, to put it bluntly, any being born from the Origin Realm is eligible.

In front of him.

They don't even have the right to want to die!

of course.

He didn't explain this to Zhang Hao.

Saying it would only deepen the rift between the two of them.

Zhang Hao was still standing to the side, looking at Erdan with a worried expression.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Jiang Chuan patted Erdan on the shoulder in a pretentious manner.

It also quietly severed the servant relationship between the two.

In the past, the moment the connection to the Starry Sky Mirror was severed, Erdan would have died instantly.

But things are different now.

Erdan's body and soul were both reshaped by Jiang Chuan using his authority over life.

So, he was perfectly fine; his memory of that period was simply erased, and then he closed his eyes and fainted.

"What's wrong with him?!"

"don’t worry."

Jiang Chuan withdrew his hand and said to Zhang Hao, "He was just frightened. He'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

He then explained, "However, I need to make this clear to you."

"Erdan is possessed."

"It's because he secretly kept a relic left behind by a demon from the upper realm."

"If you encounter something like this in the future, notify me immediately. Do not use it without authorization."

Zhang Hao was taken aback, then immediately began cursing, "These demons are truly heartless and insane!"

"I heard that they also massacred several major southern cities."

"They committed an unspeakable atrocity!"

"What a beast!"

"We are all the same human beings, yet they treat their own kind like livestock!"

Jiang Chuan listened without refuting, but silently sighed in his heart.

Same race?

Not necessarily.

In the eyes of cultivators, aren't mortals just a bunch of domesticated livestock that can be slaughtered at will?

Moreover, in a sense, once a cultivator successfully tempers their body, they are already a different species from ordinary humans.

They are no longer connected by blood, and there is even reproductive isolation between them.

However, he didn't say this to Zhang Hao either.

He waved.

The next moment, the three of them had returned to the dormitory entrance from the grove.

Zhang Hao only felt a blur before his eyes.

I almost lost my footing.

Jiang Chuan waved and sent Erdan into the dormitory, then turned around and gave Zhang Hao a nod of his chin.

"Walk."

"We haven't seen each other for years, let's find a place to have a drink and catch up!"

It took Zhang Hao a while to come to his senses.

"Teleportation..."

"You're incredibly strong right now!"

The excitement in his eyes was impossible to hide, but after the excitement subsided, he remembered something, and his expression changed.

"I said, Chuanzi."

"Aren't you now the Marshal of the Heavenly Pavilion? Or something like... the Lord of the Origin Realm?"

"Don't let me delay your important business!"

Jiang Chuan shook his head and smiled.

"What important business could I possibly have?"

"I've come to you now because it's the most important and serious matter I have to discuss."

The two didn't go far.

At the entrance of the alley in the west of the city, there is a small restaurant that is still lit up in the middle of the night.

Jiang Chuan plopped down and called the boss to bring out some wine.

Zhang Hao stood ramrod straight, unsure of what to do with his hands.

"Sit down, what are you being so coy about?"

Zhang Hao chuckled, rolled up his sleeves, and sat down. He whispered, "Someone as high-ranking as you is sitting with me in a place like this..."

Jiang Chuan laughed and scolded, "I just became an official, not a god."

The food and drinks were served.

Below the stomach.

Zhang Hao's nervousness finally dissipated a little.

He suddenly chuckled, "It's like a dream. The last time we parted was in front of the school gate, and now... wow, you've really made something of yourself!"

"Just lucky."

Jiang Chuan smiled.

After drinking several glasses of strong liquor, Zhang Hao's eyes began to glaze over.

"I don't know what you've been through all these years, but since you still consider me your brother, I have to give you a few words of advice."

"Um?"

Zhang Hao steadied himself before slurring his words:

"Kawako."

"I know that, given my current position, I'm not in a position to say these things to you..."

"But promise me, you must be a good official!"

"We must never become addicted to a life of luxury and decadence, lest we become those incompetent and tyrannical rulers!"

At this point, he himself became much more sober.

"I know this might sound harsh, but I'm just afraid—afraid that you'll become the kind of person we both used to hate!"

Jiang Chuan was not angry.

On the contrary, he felt that Zhang Hao hadn't changed at all in the past five years.

In this world.

There probably aren't many people who would dare to talk to him like that nowadays.

Lord of the Origin Realm.

Marshal Tiange.

With those two titles looming over him, let alone reprimanding him to his face, even just looking up at him would make people think twice about their own importance.

He also sensed the worry that Zhang Hao was expressing under the influence of alcohol.

Jiang Chuan smiled helplessly.

There was no explanation.

He simply asked a question in return:

"Who told you that becoming a person in power means you have to be busy with politics every day?"

"Are all the people under my command just sitting around doing nothing?"

"Those big and small matters will naturally be handled by professionals."

"I just need to be clear-headed on key decisions."

That's enough.

Jiang Chuan refilled Zhang Hao's glass with wine and said with a smile, "Being in power isn't as difficult as you think."

"Hey, you wouldn't understand anyway."

"Alright, I'll appoint you as a Heavenly General tomorrow, and you'll understand once you experience it for yourself!"

A heavenly general?!

Zhang Hao sobered up instantly.

Marshal Tiange is the supreme leader of the human race.

Below the marshal were twelve celestial generals.

Every single one of them.

They were all high-ranking officials at the vice-national level, wielding significant power in their respective regions.

These thirteen individuals are the supreme beings standing at the pinnacle of human power, and are the key figures who determine the life, death, and future of hundreds of millions of people!

These are positions that ordinary people can never even reach, no matter how hard they try.

Jiang Chuan wants to appoint him as a Heavenly General?

Zhang Hao's first reaction was that he was joking.

"Chuanzi, you, you mustn't be joking like that. I have a heart condition; I could easily pass out..."

"Who's joking with you?"

Jiang Chuan glared at him.

Do you remember what you told me before?

"You said you wanted to get into the top college in the entire Federation, to bring honor to your parents and make your ancestors proud."

"Perfect timing, Qin Tianheng, who is in charge of Star Crown Academy, is retiring."

"Why don't you just take over his shift?"

"By the way, I'll also transfer his position as the Seventh Heavenly General to you."

"I'm going to take charge of Star Crown Academy...?!"

Zhang Hao quickly drank a glass of wine to calm his nerves.

That was his dream back in high school.

Back then, he patted his chest and told Jiang Chuan that he would definitely get into that college, make a name for himself, and bring honor to his ancestors.

As a result, after their awakenings, one became an F-rank Disassembler and the other an F-rank Enhancer, both of which were the most useless, lowest-level professions.

They don't even have the qualifications to register.

right now,

He suddenly became the dean of Star Crown Academy?!

Zhang Hao observed Jiang Chuan's expression.

It doesn't sound like a joke.

His heart started pounding, but he still instinctively tried to refuse.

"No way! Chuanzi! You're kidding me! I've never even been a class monitor... how could I possibly be the dean!"

"And then there's the position of the Seventh Heavenly General..."

"Besides, how can such a matter be treated so lightly? ... I'm increasingly starting to think of you as a tyrant!"

"Depend on!"

Jiang Chuan gave him a disdainful look.

He was certainly not joking.

The Federation's original twelve Heavenly Generals, including Murong Jin who had already died in the line of duty, were all old men nearing one hundred years old.

Even if they don't resign voluntarily, they don't have many years left to live.

It would be better to just take the source material and go into seclusion.

Consolidate your cultivation at the Divine Ascension Realm.

maybe.

I can live a few more years in the future.

Many of the original candidates for the Heavenly General position had perished in the previous cholera outbreak. At this time, his recommendation of Zhang Hao to take the position might attract some criticism, but his prestige was enough to suppress it.

As for why he insisted on recommending Zhang Hao to be the Heavenly General...

I did it.

Does he need to give others a reason for doing things?

"This is what I call recommending the worthy regardless of personal relationships!"

Jiang Chuan spoke eloquently: "Besides, Liu Bang was able to govern the country with the talent of just one county."

"You were in the same class as me, how can you not even have this much confidence?"

"I……"

"Alright, it's settled then."

"I had the paperwork prepared before I came. It will be sent over tomorrow, and you can take up your post immediately!"

"you……"

"Even if you feel you can't handle this job, you can always apply for early retirement."

"You can also get the treatment of a vice-national level official, and at least you'll be guaranteed access to cultivation resources."

"this……"

Zhang Hao swallowed.

Jiang Chuan had already said so much, how could he possibly refuse?

A gleam of excitement quickly lit up in Zhang Hao's eyes.

Finally, he nodded emphatically.

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

"Oh, right."

He suddenly remembered something else and asked with a serious expression, "Who is Liu Bang?"

Jiang Chuan's lips twitched. "...A distant cousin of mine."

"This isn't important!"

"Come on, let's drink this in advance to celebrate your inauguration tomorrow!"
