“Hmm, I’ve received the message.”

Chen Lun spoke to the faceless attendant.

Following the usual practice, he gave the attendant a tip and asked:

“Since the Speaker has returned, I should also make a trip to headquarters. Shall we go together?”

“Governor Jack, I’m very sorry, due to recent major events, the internal messengers of the council are too busy… I still need to deliver the message to the other Golden Cup members, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you.”

The faceless attendant bowed respectfully, his tone full of apology.

Chen Lun nodded, not insisting.

After the faceless attendant left first, he used Cloud Leap and headed to the headquarters of the council.

A moment later.

As soon as Chen Lun entered the first-floor hall, he noticed it was bustling and lively.

Hearing the heated discussion and seeing the excitement on the faces of many members, he knew without asking that this was because the Generous Council, as the church of the Righteous Gods of the Empire, had for the first time helped the official authorities accomplish a significant event.

The Blood Battle had been won!

The turmoil was suppressed, the Red Apple Church was defeated and fled, and the Empire had regained peace. Such a historic victory was the result of the collective efforts of the people present, and the members shared in the glory.

“Governor Jack Spett!”

“Governor!”

Someone noticed Chen Lun’s arrival and hurriedly bowed to greet him.

The rest followed and cast reverent looks, bowing in turn.

“Good day to you all, there’s no need for formalities.”

Chen Lun wore a polite smile as he cordially spoke to the members.

As he walked towards the staircase entrance, the many well-dressed members consciously made way for him, bowing their heads as he passed.

“Governor Jack, we owe much to you for this Blood Battle!”

A young member raised his head as Chen Lun passed and said with an excited expression.

“I admire you greatly, may I be assigned to your command, waiting for your orders?”

“May I ask who you are?”

Chen Lun was somewhat surprised. After he stopped, he glanced at the silver badge on the young man’s chest… This was a member of the Silver Cup.

“Whit, my name is Whit Ophilus…”

The young man quickly replied.

Chen Lun’s eyebrows lifted.

‘Whit? That name sounds familiar… Isn’t this the somewhat famous assassin from version 2.0? If I remember correctly, in my previous life, he later advanced to Sequence Five, attempted to assassinate members of the Anlong United Kingdom’s Royal Family to reclaim the western territories for the Empire but ultimately failed and died… He is indeed a valuable asset.’

He smiled and patted Whit’s shoulder, whispering:

“Of course, there’s no problem, Whit. I welcome your joining.”

“Thank… Thank you, Governor Jack!”

The latter’s face showed even greater excitement, and his body trembled.

“Governor Jack! I also wish to join your command!”

“Sir…”

Seeing this, many other members nearby began to follow Whit’s example.

Chen Lun’s performance in the Blood Battle was nothing short of stunning. Not only did he provide important intelligence for the council and officials, indirectly saving many members from the offensive from the Abomination Fortress, but he also incisively recruited hundreds of thousands of Undead Foreigners to suppress the war zone as swiftly as possible.

Even he himself had repeatedly slain incarnations of saints from the Red Apple Church, and even Archbishop Lafa of the Ten Cores of the Blood Abbey had been lured into a trap and killed by him.

This filled many members within the council with admiration towards him.

Although the other governors of the Senate were revered as saints, Jack Spett, like many members, was just a Mid Sequence Transcendent, which made them feel more connected to him.

“I thank you all for your enthusiasm.”

Chen Lun smiled and gave the crowd a modest bow of his chest.

“If you all wish to join, I naturally will not refuse… But everyone is part of the council, and it’s the same working under any governing officer.”

“You’re right, Governor Jack.”

The members echoed.

“There will likely be a large meeting later, so everyone please be patient… I have matters to discuss with the other governors, so I will take my leave now.”

Chen Lun said.

Seeing this, the other members immediately stepped back.

He smiled at the crowd, then turned and walked through the shadow curtain to the second floor.

The doors to the secret council chamber were open, and Chen Lun walked straight in.

The Senate’s governors had already received the news and most had arrived. The Speaker Azjiluo, as usual, sat in the high seat at the back, quietly watching the other governors discuss.

“Jack, you’re here. Have a seat,” the Speaker said with a nod and a smile.

“Yes, Speaker.”

Chen Lun saluted Azjiluo with respect and greeted the other governors before sitting down at his own seat.

Before long, the few absent governors had also arrived.

The Speaker then announced the start of the secret council.

“The Blood Battle has come to an end. Led by Louisa, the upper echelons of the Red Apple Church have been mostly killed or injured and have all fled the territory of the Empire to the Beelzebub Kingdom, leaving only some lower and middle-ranking clergy who didn’t have time to escape… But we need not bother with those anymore.”

He spoke softly.

“The Sun King personally met with the high-level figures from the forces involved in this battle, including myself… He expressed affirmation and praise for the efforts of our Generous Council. This is the first milestone event we have completed since becoming part of the Righteous God Church, worthy of celebration and remembrance by everyone.”

“This is all thanks to your foresight and leadership, Speaker.”

Mide, the Governing Officer, complimented.

However, the Speaker simply waved his hand.

“The person who contributed the most to this battle should be Jack.”

He cast an appreciative look towards Chen Lun.

Kingsberg and the others also smiled faintly at him, starting to applaud, and Bindu even gave him a thumbs-up. Houston and others fell into silence and eventually, albeit reluctantly, followed suit in clapping.

“After the battle, our mission has not lessened, and I hope no one will slack off… As the Righteous God Church, we need to set up sub-councils in every state city within the Empire: one is to ensure local safety from mystical incidents on behalf of the Empire, and the other is to spread the gospel for His Majesty, the King of Slaughter.”

The Speaker slowly began to speak, standing up.

“Typically, a state city’s region will be overseen by a Shelter and two subsidiaries of the Righteous God Church. I will select six of you to take charge of a state city each… However, the Royal City is an exception; all Seven Righteous God Churches must establish branches within the Royal City.”

He slightly lifted his finger, pointing it at Chen Lun.

“Jack, I want you to go to the Royal City yourself and take charge of the sub-council there. What do you say?”

“?!”

All the Governing Officers showed a look of astonishment.

Even Kingsberg and the others exchanged glances.

The Speaker thinks too highly of Jack, doesn’t he? To actually let him be in charge of the Royal City sub-council?!

“Me?”

Chen Lun was quite surprised.

He immediately stood up, his expression humble.

“Speaker, I am the Governing Officer with the least experience in the Senate and the weakest in strength. Entrusting such a responsibility to me… I’m afraid I might disappoint you.”

“You’re too modest, Jack,”

The Speaker said with a smile, shaking his head.

“I believe you can do well… And the reason I want you to take charge of the Royal City sub-council is another matter.”

Without any visible motion from Him, a beautifully gilded envelope then rose from the shadows on the marble round table in front of Chen Lun.

Chen Lun looked down and noticed a gold sword-and-shield emblem in the upper right corner of the envelope.

“This is your selection letter… Your achievements in the Blood Battle have been recognized by the upper echelons of the Shelter and the Sun Royal Family, and even Prince Dazlert personally named you to pass the review.”

The Speaker’s voice came through.

Chen Lun looked up to see Azjiluo nodding at him with a smile.

“Congratulations, Jack, you are now a member of the Imperial Judiciary, not only the first ‘unorthodox’ member in the history of the Tresor Empire but also the pride of our Generous Council.”

“Thank you, Speaker Azjiluo.”

Chen Lun took a deep breath, paying respects deeply moved.

Because he knew well that for this matter to go so smoothly, the Speaker must have exerted much effort.

“On the twenty-third of next month, it will be the Empire’s Celebration Day. The nation will celebrate together, and the Royal City’s Fire Pattern Plaza will certainly be extraordinarily lively… At the same time, Prince Dazlert will personally confer a decoration on you, congratulating you on joining the Imperial Judiciary.”

The Speaker said this and reminded:

“So once you are ready, you may head to the Royal City to get used to the new environment in advance.”

“Yes, Speaker,”

Chen Lun properly secured the selection letter and replied with a respectful bow.

“I will do my utmost, not to let you down.”

The Speaker hummed in acknowledgment and gestured for him to sit. Then, He outlined several important tasks for the council, laying out broad directions for development and construction.

Chen Lun just listened quietly, not speaking again.

He felt that the Speaker’s appointment made the gazes of the four Governing Officers, including Houston, grow ever more hostile towards him. Meanwhile, Kingsberg and others truly rejoiced for him from the bottom of their hearts, and if it were not for the Speaker speaking, they might already be celebrating for him with mythical wine.

An hour later.

The secret meeting ended.

The Speaker asked Kingsberg and Randa, two Governing Officers, to preside over the subsequent collective meeting on the ground floor Great Hall, to convey the results and directions discussed earlier to the other members of the council below.

The Governing Officers without tasks left one after another, but Chen Lun voluntarily stayed behind.

“Jack, do you have something else?”

The Speaker asked with a gentle smile.

Chen Lun then raised the question he had prepared earlier, hoping to resolve his confusion.

“Speaker, I have accidentally gained some mid-sequence or higher Supernatural Knowledge through other means, but I am unable to transcribe it for my subordinates to read and advance… Do you know how this can be done?”

Azjiluo fell silent for a few seconds.

“Jack, do you know where Transcendent powers come from?”

Chen Lun was slightly startled.

After thinking about it, he answered:

“Could it be… the True Gods?”

But the Speaker shook his head again.

“Then, where does the power of the True Gods come from?”

Chen Lun immediately fell into deep thought.
