The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

Bai Zhi answered the video call request with some confusion. A familiar, petite girl appeared on the screen, angrily questioning her.

Indeed, this person was Fu Xuan. Her face was full of anger, and she looked at Jing Yuan with suspicion.

"Jingyuan, did you really pass on the Divine Lord's legacy to Baizhi?"

"Hey, Fu Qing, you don't sound very happy."

Jing Yuan said in a somewhat teasing tone.

"Don't talk to me like that. Didn't you tell me last time that you had already submitted a report to the alliance recommending me as the next general? How come the Divine Lord has gone to Bai Zhi?"

Fu Xuan stared intently at Jing Yuan, almost bursting into tears. Upon hearing that Bai Zhi had obtained the title of God Lord, she felt as if the sky had fallen.

She had no objection when Bai Zhi became the deputy general, after all, Bai Zhi was indeed very important, and although the deputy general position sounded high, it was actually weaker than any of the Six Emperors.

In the laws of the Immortal Ship, the six emperors are equal in status. However, the general, as the guarantor of military power, is in overall command, but the other six emperors can also refute the orders issued by the general.

However, Bai Zhi's acquisition of the Divine Lord did indeed break her defenses a bit.

This is different from a nominal title like deputy general; it's a de facto recognition.

It can be said that Bai Zhi, who possesses the Divine Lord, is in fact the general of the Immortal Ship, only that the formal transition and handover of the position has not yet taken place.

But now that the divine lord has been handed over, the transition to the general's position will likely be very soon.

"Oh dear, our Fu Qing is so upset because she didn't receive the Divine Lord's inheritance that she's having a mental breakdown. She's crying and making a scene, sob sob sob, so pitiful."

"you!"

"Old man, you didn't answer my question seriously, and you even dare to mock me!"

Fu Xuan stomped his foot in anger, his face turning red.

"But Fu Qing, do you really think Bai Zhi is unsuitable to be a general? Aren't her abilities enough?"

Jing Yuan smiled and asked in a low voice.

"........."

Fu Xuan was momentarily speechless. Although she was unwilling, she had to admit that with Bai Zhi's abilities, let alone becoming a general, she might not even be able to be appointed as a deputy marshal.

"No, old man, you're shifting the focus. Being a general requires more than just these things; it also requires governance skills."

“I admit that Bai Zhi is very capable, and I have no problem with her personally, but she is not suitable to govern the Immortal Ship. She is too young and has almost no experience in various struggles. If there is even the slightest mistake on the Immortal Ship with hundreds of billions of people, it will be a huge disaster.”

Fu Xuan said decisively.

"Did you hear that, Little Baizhi? This is what the Grand Diviner thinks of you. How do you feel about it?"

Jing Yuan chuckled as he spoke into his phone.

"How do I feel? I don't feel anything, I just thought of some old friends. My old friend was also a general, and he was skilled in using thunder. He also had a subordinate with a pink color by his side."

"You broadcast our conversation live??"

Seeing this, Fu Xuan knew exactly what Jing Yuan had done.

Chapter 516 Aha: Lan, you don't want others to know that you've been impersonated, do you?

"Yes, Fu Qing, after all, our little Bai Zhi is the future general."

"This old man who is about to retire should still convey your opinions to the new general truthfully, so that you can cooperate with each other smoothly in the future."

"General..."

Bai Zhi exclaimed helplessly, "The Grand Diviner is quite reliable, so don't tease her."

"Moreover, what the Grand Diviner said is very true. I do lack a lot of experience. Even if you asked me to be a general, I wouldn't be able to do it. Besides, there are too many restrictions on being a general."

Although Fu Xuan was a bit too hasty, Bai Zhi could still understand his mindset. Fu Xuan wasn't so concerned about the position of general for the sake of gaining power, but rather to prove that he could do better.

Bai Zhi was very clear about her own position. Being a general meant being responsible for the affairs of hundreds of billions of people. This responsibility was too great, as it could affect the whole situation. Just like the matter of the Dragon Master this time, if she had become a general, she probably wouldn't have been able to do it that way.

There are some things that a dragon king can do, and executives of giant corporations can do, but a general is the only one who cannot do them.

It would be more appropriate to build your own corporate entity.

At least, as a company that belongs solely to itself, it can do whatever it wants without consequence.

"Haha, alright, alright, Fu Qing, where's your divination skill? Why are you rushing in like this when something like this happens? If you became a general, would you be this impatient in urgent situations?"

Jing Yuan smiled and then turned his gaze to Fu Xuan, speaking in a lecturing tone.

"you…"

Fu Xuan wasn't stupid; after witnessing this scene, she keenly sensed many problems.

The title of "Divine Ruler" has always been tied to a position; it can only be handed over to the next general after the position is terminated or the general dies in battle.

Moreover, such a thing would be immediately notified to the other six rulers of the same immortal ship; it's impossible to do it behind the backs of others.

"Where did the divine lord on Xiaobaizhi's body come from? Or is it just a decoy?"

Fu Xuan couldn't help but ask.

“The deity on Xiaobaizhi’s body is real,” Jingyuan replied immediately.

"If it's true, doesn't that mean Xiao Baizhi is really going to inherit the general's position?"

Fu Xuan was somewhat confused. The power of the envoy was extremely precious; it was meant to protect the safety of the people of the Immortal Ship. It was impossible for it to be given to one person for personal use.

"Hey, Fu Qing, think about it again."

"...I can't figure out what's going on. It's impossible for a god to just appear out of nowhere."

"and many more……"

Fu Xuan's eyes widened in surprise. She thought of a possibility she had never considered before: that this Divine Lord was not the one inherited from the Luofu Immortal Ship, but a new one bestowed by the Emperor Bow Master.

"It seems that Fu Qing has figured out some of the key points." Jing Yuan nodded with a smile.

"The Emperor's Bow has once again bestowed upon the power of the messenger. Truly... I have miscalculated."

Fu Xuan said somewhat unwillingly, "Who could have imagined this? After all, according to the news that came over, Bai Zhi's Divine Lord is exactly the same as the Divine Lord in Jing Yuan's hands."

This situation naturally leads people to think that the position of general has already been decided.

Even she, who should have carefully verified the information, was momentarily caught up in this thought process.

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha."

In the mysterious space, a phantom figure surrounded by countless masks burst into laughter.

"That's right, I am the Imperial Bow Master, this is so wonderful~"

"Little Angelica, Aha loves you~"

The beam of light, sharp and piercing, struck Aha, and Lan suddenly appeared, clearly displeased.

This guy not only stole someone, but he also impersonated them. How can he bully people like this?

"Hey bro, don't get excited. Look, at least Xiao Baizhi still thinks she received your blessing, right? I get the substance, you get the face, we split it 50/50, isn't that great?"

"You wouldn't want Xiao Baizhi to know that your beloved Emperor Bow Master could actually be impersonated, would you?"

Lan was clearly even angrier, and the purple beam of light was aimed at Aha from afar.

At this moment, icy blue mist appeared, and a humanoid figure made of crystal silently appeared in the space, quietly watching this scene.

“Look, even the guy who’s recording the fun has come over. It’s no big deal. It’s unnecessary. You need to have a sense of humor. Don’t be like that piece of intellectual junk.”

"Besides, it's not like there's only one path in life. Look at that madman Nanuk, isn't there a guy under him who's a mix of abundance and destruction?"

……

After a moment of silence, the light emitted by the arrow in Lan's hand slowly dissipated.

It wasn't that He didn't want to give the messenger the power immediately; rather, He had wanted to give it to him for a long time. Given His favor towards the Immortal Ship, which extended to granting Him all blessings, giving a messenger the power to quell the demonic yin was a minor issue.

But these treacherous star gods always stopped Him from bestowing blessings whenever He wanted to.

These guys were afraid that if they, as the main god worshipped by the Immortal Ship, were to bestow blessings first, they would get there first, and the other star gods would not have the chance to snatch people away.

Aha is almost the strongest besides Void, that lazy bum, so He was the first to strike, and none of the other Star Gods could stop Him.

Meanwhile, on the Immortal Ship, after hearing that Jing Yuan already knew Bai Zhi was the envoy when he fought Huan Long, some questions popped into Fu Xuan's head.

"General, what were you thinking? Why didn't you choose to go public? In a situation with internal and external troubles, having an extra envoy would have provided unparalleled motivation and a sense of security."

"Why bother holding a martial arts ceremony to prove the safety of the Luofu Immortal Ship?"

Fu Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"Fu Qing, you still need to learn more. Little Angelica is our secret weapon now."

"General Jingyuan, who has ruled for hundreds of years, is about to pass away. The divine ruler is handing over the reins, and the new successor is actually a little child who is only a few years old."

Jing Yuan said with a big smile.

“I remember there was a saying in ancient times: ‘When the ruler is young, the country is in turmoil.’ When the monarch is young and has just ascended the throne, people’s hearts are restless and uneasy.”

"Although a general is not a monarch, he still holds a similar position. Under such circumstances, countless demons and monsters will be eager to act and try to seize what they want."

Jing Yuan casually toyed with the chess pieces in his hand and said:

"But they will never think that this is not a legacy, but an extra force. Once these people emerge, we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

"So be it, General!"

Jingyuan placed the chess piece on the general, confident of victory.

Chapter 517 Fu Xuan: Is this Bai Zhi some kind of immortal star god reincarnation?

"It seems the general is truly confident."

In the video, Bai Zhi exclaimed in admiration, "I have to say, Jing Yuan is really full of tricks. Anyone who really thinks he's an old man on his deathbed is bound to suffer a great loss."

There's a saying that goes, "There are no bad nicknames, only bad names."

The title "General of Divine Strategy" is a very fair assessment and honorific.

"Haha, it's just some experience from being an old man. Fu Qing is right to call me an old guy all the time."

Fu Xuan crossed his arms in displeasure and let out a dissatisfied snort.

“General, I am a young man. In my opinion, many of your actions are indeed those of an old man. It is normal for me to disapprove.”

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan was not angry, but instead laughed.

"Haha, Fu Qing, in the past, I was also a very energetic young man, full of vitality every day, and I also couldn't stand the ideas of a bunch of old guys. But now, even with Xiao Baizhi helping to balance the demonic yin, I can't go back."

A hint of nostalgia flashed in Jing Yuan's eyes. Back then, he was also an enthusiastic young man who could get up immediately after the alarm clock rang every day and then rush to the Shence Mansion to work.

But now, even though he still looks young, he has become someone who sleeps in every day and whose lifestyle is no different from that of the old men in the countryside.

"But speaking of which, I haven't asked Xiao Baizhi why she contacted me. If she needs my help, just say so."

Jingyuan changed the subject and asked about serious matters.

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "It's nothing. The general is so confident, he must know that there might be some Bu Li people spies inside the Luofu Immortal Ship."

"What? There's a traitor named Bu Liren within Luofu? Little Baizhi, what exactly is going on?"

Before Jing Yuan could speak, Fu Xuan immediately spoke up upon hearing the news. Bu Liren was the mortal enemy of the Immortal Ship people, and now he had actually infiltrated their Luofu Immortal Ship. This was no small matter.

Although she knew that there might be all sorts of things inside Luofu, such as the secret teachings of the Medicine King, Bu Liren was really not on her radar.

Because the physical characteristics of the Bu Liren are too obvious, it would be extremely difficult to infiltrate them.

"Hey, Fu Qing, don't be in a hurry. Let Xiao Baizhi explain in detail."

Jing Yuan said with a smile.

"By the Emperor's Bow, aren't you even worried about something like this?!"

Fu Xuan said somewhat impatiently, "The Bu Li people are a group of bloodthirsty beasts, not to mention that these guys can devour the Feng Rao people to enhance their own strength."

As is widely known, the Xianzhou people are actually the most elite of the Fengrao people.

If a stranger is mixed in with the crowd, what's the difference between that and a starving thug running into a buffet full of food?

Sooner or later, a major disaster will occur; who knows, a flesh mountain range might emerge, having devoured too much flesh and blood and thus evolved to an extremely high degree.

"What's the use of being anxious now? Besides, Fu Qing, don't forget that Luofu is a giant ship with hundreds of billions of people. It's not surprising that anything could happen among these countless people. We can't possibly investigate them all one by one. We can only wait for them to come out."
