Chapter 1670: Chapter 1670: Hello, Brother Qingfeng

“Therefore, I don’t deny the possibility you mentioned. But I believe the potential danger of this possibility is far less than the danger of Deep Red Realm achieving the Divine Realm. A Divine Realm achieved by us, beings of the natural world, must first ensure fairness to the star cluster it belongs to. In the universe, there are laws. If the Divine Realm can do whatever it wants without restraint, then the law of the universe wouldn’t allow the existence of the Divine Realm.”

“Then why can’t a Divine Realm achieved by Deep Red Realm ensure fairness? If they want not to be eradicated by the universe’s laws, they also need to develop toward a true Divine Realm.” The aura of the Fighting Sky Department Minister seemed to become a bit stronger.

Lan Xuanyu remained unfazed and said, “Perhaps there will be such a day, but when that day arrives, it would definitely be when both the Dragon Horse Federation and the Douluo Federation cease to exist. What meaning would it have then?”

The Fighting Sky Department Minister was about to speak again when Tang Wulin, who had been sitting among the Shrek Academy members, suddenly turned his gaze towards the Fighting Sky Department Minister’s direction and said calmly, “Brother Qingfeng, there’s no need to be aggressive. I think Lan’s perspective is closer to reality.”

At the mention of “Brother Qingfeng,” the Fighting Sky Department Minister’s body instinctively trembled as he looked at Tang Wulin in amazement. Clearly, he hadn’t expected Tang Wulin to recognize his identity.

Tang Wulin’s gaze met his, and within Tang Wulin’s calm eyes faint gold light flickered, “I never imagined that Brother Qingfeng could live until now. However, I think you’re not quite suited to remain in the position of the Fighting Sky Department Minister any longer. How about you resign yourself?”

The Fighting Sky Department Minister’s body suddenly trembled, and his eyes held a deep sense of disbelief. The dullness in his eyes gradually became clearer. But at the same moment, he felt the gaze of Gu Yuena also settle upon him.

In that moment, the Fighting Sky Department Minister’s heart was filled with mixed emotions as he slowly stood up from his seat.

The Speaker was also looking at him with a face full of astonishment. This Fighting Sky Department Minister was completely an independent entity, not belonging to him at all! The previous interrogation, nearly a soul-searching inquiry, had made the Speaker feel somewhat pleased. However, just with Tang Wulin speaking a name, this ancient Fighting Sky Department Minister seemed to lose composure.

“I never expected, after all these vicissitudes, for you to still recognize me. I thought no one would remember my existence anymore.” The Fighting Sky Department Minister said with a bitter smile, “You and Gu Yuena are worthy of being the prodigies of that era. Even after returning a millennium later, you still lead the way magnificently.”

Tang Wulin calmly sat in his place, “Brother Qingfeng, we can talk later. At least you did not make the worst choice.”

The Fighting Sky Department Minister slowly walked out, bowed slightly to the Speaker, and then turned to all the congress members, “Master Tang is correct, I am no longer suitable to serve as the Fighting Sky Department Minister. I am old and it’s time to retire. I hereby resign from the position of Fighting Sky Department Minister, the next Minister shall be elected by a joint decision of Tang Sect, Shrek Academy, War God Hall, and Spirit Pagoda.”

After saying this, he looked at Tang Wulin deeply once more, with complex emotions in his eyes, before his figure gradually faded away, disappearing just like that.

Lan Xuanyu watched on somewhat bewildered. Clearly, his father should know this person, and this person was very likely from a millennium ago. But after his father called his name, this person chose to flee.

Ling Zichen was also surprised, whispering to Tang Wulin, “Do you know him? Who is he? An acquaintance?”

Tang Wulin smiled slightly and said, “You might not be very familiar, but you should know. Remember the Spirit Pagoda’s master Qiangu DongFeng from back then?”

Ling Zichen nodded and said, “Wasn’t Qiangu DongFeng nullified by you and Gu Yuena? Qingfeng, oh, I remember now. Are you saying the one just now was Qiangu DongFeng’s elder brother who left, possessing the Purgatory Spear Martial Soul, Qiangu Qingfeng?”

Tang Wulin nodded slightly.

Ling Zichen pursued, “How did you figure it out?”

Tang Wulin smiled slightly and said, “We’ll talk to him after the meeting and you’ll understand. You just haven’t sensed it carefully. His divine consciousness is not right, not the divine consciousness of a normal human.”

The entire congress was now silent. No one expected such a dramatic scene; the originally aggressive Fighting Sky Department Minister chose to retreat due to a few words from Tang Wulin, relinquishing such an important position. It was simply unbelievable!

Lan Xuanyu was equally shocked internally. With a single sentence, his father effectively dismissed a prominent figure. At this moment, it seemed as if his father was the true core of the entire congress. His parents’ presence was the strongest one here.

The Speaker’s expression was also somewhat unsettled. He turned to glance at the direction of the military department minister, then stood up again and said, “Thank you, Lord Lan, for your explanation. Please return.”

Lan Xuanyu then walked back to his seat.

The Speaker said solemnly, “Today, Lord Lan’s explanation has given us a further understanding of the current situation between the Dragon Horse Federation and the Deep Red Realm. This understanding is crucial. It also made us realize the dangers posed by the Deep Red Realm. If anyone has opinions or suggestions, they can be raised soon and submitted to the congress. After collecting them, we will have a unified discussion later.”

He was originally planning to indicate some sort of compromise in today’s meeting, perhaps even dispatching troops wasn’t out of the question. Yet now, everything was thrown into chaos. Lan’s logical explanation, along with the unanticipated resignation of the Fighting Sky Department Minister under Tang Wulin’s intimidation, left him too passive. He realized that even if he compromised now, it might not be easy to get through. He decided to delay, attempting to communicate with Shrek Academy and Tang Sect outside of the congress, which might be the best choice.

At this time, Ling Zichen’s gaze had already locked onto the military minister, preparing to stand up.

But, Tang Wulin held her sleeve, preventing her from rising.

Ling Zichen looked at him in surprise. They had planned to confront, to overturn the convention and take control of the congress.

Tang Wulin shook his head towards her.

The Speaker had been watching their movements all along. When Ling Zichen was about to stand up, he was filled with anxiety. Seeing her sit back down and Tang Wulin’s calm demeanor, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Clearly, they had understood his intentions. He couldn’t help but feel somewhat sorrowful. In front of Shrek Academy, he as the Speaker ultimately didn’t amount to much!

Without compromising at the meeting, it would only mean an even more thorough compromise.

“Alright, this temporary meeting concludes here. Lord Lan, we will quickly decide whether to support your federation.” The Speaker chose to rapidly end the meeting. It couldn’t go on any longer.

The congress members were now leaving with various thoughts. Starting to end, Gu Yuena had not spoken a word, but Spirit Pagoda’s resignation already implied many things, and Tang Wulin’s mere few words had led to the Fighting Sky Department Minister stepping down. For a moment, this former illustrious Song God suddenly commanded respect within the congress. The rhythm had entirely shifted to Shrek Academy and Tang Sect.

As the members began orderly leaving, Ling Zichen couldn’t help but ask Tang Wulin, “Why didn’t you let me speak? We could’ve replaced them right here. Save ourselves from these guys hindering us in the dark. This concerns the future of the Federation.”

Tang Wulin said, “It’s enough. Shrek’s tradition is to remain neutral. We still need to try our best to maintain this tradition, especially when we already have an absolute advantage. There’s no need to disrupt the academy’s regulations. Come, let’s go meet Qiangu Qingfeng.”
