Chapter 510 - 429: Su Yuan: Please Call Me Governor!
"Gr... Greetings to Senior Thousand-Faced."
After being dumbfounded for quite a while, Su Yuan realized that Wu Luo True Monarch definitely wouldn’t lie about this matter, so he hurriedly greeted him.
Chen Nuoyi also wanted to speak but saw the spirited girl high school student in front casually wave her hand and say:
"Everyone keeps calling me senior, making me sound old, but I’m clearly just an eighteen-year-old high school girl."
"You two seniors are even a year older than me, it should be me calling you seniors."
Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi: "..."
The Thousand-Faced Celestial Monarch’s personality is too strange, clearly a three-hundred-year-old monster, yet she insists she’s eternally eighteen?
Too deep in character?
But since the big shot insisted, the two didn’t dare to argue and could only say with embarrassment:
"Then, how should we address you, C... Junior Sister?"
The Thousand-Faced Celestial Monarch rummaged through her pocket, took out a student ID card, and handed it to Su Yuan with both hands.
As he took the student ID, the first thing that caught his eye was a vibrant portrait, and at the top of the ID was a line of text with a name.
An Xingran.
Su Yuan looked at the school that issued the student ID and found it was a real school in the Blue Star Federation.
Moreover, it wasn’t a famous school, just an ordinary high school in a coastal city.
This guy... Could she really be going to high school every day?
As a high school student, I met a Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch on campus and reached the peak of my life? Why am I dreaming this?
Hmm, that’s exactly how the title of a unique light novel would be born.
Su Yuan passed the student ID to Chen Nuoyi and courteously said:
"Hello, Junior Sister An, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet me."
An Xingran took a brisk step forward, leaned close to Su Yuan, and whispered:
"Senior Su, to be honest, I’m running a bit low on funds lately and have been taking on high-intensity work."
"If possible, could I work under you? I don’t ask for much, just food and lodging, and I’m willing to travel, anywhere in the galaxy."
After witnessing An Xingran’s performance just now, Su Yuan astonishingly wasn’t surprised by the part-time work setting.
So... I can employ a Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch at low cost to work for me.
No, no, I mustn’t think like this.
The favor of a Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch is not to be taken lightly. If I pull her into the Primordial Sect, the sect’s fate would explode in no time.
"Of course, of course."
Su Yuan forced a faint smile.
Finding it a bit overwhelming.
At that moment, the light coughing of Wu Luo True Monarch reached them:
"Xingran, stop messing around, it’s time to get down to serious business, or I’ll dock your pay."
"Oh, oh, I’m starting now."
An Xingran quickly replied, then said apologetically:
"Senior Su, I’m currently working under Sister Su. I’ll come to you after I finish the tasks she’s given me."
Sister Su... so Senior Wu Luo’s surname is Su?
A bit surprising to share the same family name.
A thought crossed Su Yuan’s mind, just as he heard An Xingran say:
"Senior Su, you can start inspecting my body now to see if I truly am a genuine high school girl."
Junior Sister, please don’t use such odd phrasing to describe such a normal thing, okay?
I’m clearly just checking if you’ve been secretly replaced by the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity.
Suppressing the urge to retort, Su Yuan activated the Demon Cloud Divine Thunder and regained control of this realm.
During this process, he couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.
Because if An Xingran were replaced and realized she was a substitute, nobody present would escape, not even the invincible Wu Luo True Monarch at the Nascent Soul Stage.
After all... this is a genuine Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch and an established Divinity Transformation Powerhouse.
Faced with such an existence, cultivators below Divinity Transformation wouldn’t dare to resist.
With somewhat apprehensive thoughts, Su Yuan cautiously stepped back a few steps and used the Eye of the Heavenly Dao to examine An Xingran.
Then, he saw the true form beneath the high school girl’s disguise.
It was an entity emitting a divine radiance, her light wasn’t piercing but carried a presence that transcended the mundane.
It possessed a quality between god and human, standing there like a sacred figure walking among mortals.
Through this observation, Su Yuan truly realized the power of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator.
Compared to the transition from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, the leap from Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation is an unimaginable transformation.
Take Nan Cang for example, even if he sacrificed the entire Cold Plum World and absorbed the power of nearly ten Nascent Soul cultivators, he could only dream of reaching half-step Divinity Transformation, far from the true Divinity Transformation Realm.
This shows the rarity and might of Divinity Transformation Cultivators.
Perhaps this is also why the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity focuses on the Divinity Transformation cultivators of the cultivation realm, scheming to overtake and divide them.
After observing for a while, Su Yuan withdrew the Eye of the Heavenly Dao:
"Junior Sister An is perfectly fine."
Everyone present let out a collective sigh of relief.
An Xingran’s slightly tense face once again blossomed into a vibrant smile:
"I told you, there’s no way an eighteen-year-old high school girl like me could have her identity swapped by some old monster."
Su Yuan smiled in agreement, casting a sidelong glance at Wu Luo True Monarch, signaling her with a "no internal threat" look.
After seeing the latter nod slightly, Su Yuan finally withdrew his gaze.
In fact, he had already discussed with Wu Luo True Monarch that when inspecting the Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs, regardless of whether they had been replaced, he would say they hadn’t.
Only in this way could the impersonators remain unaware of their own identities to the greatest extent.
If the inspected Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch had no issues, Su Yuan would give Wu Luo True Monarch a knowing glance.
Otherwise, he would act as if everything were normal, and Wu Luo True Monarch would naturally understand the real answer then.
Then, An Xingran walked over to Nan Cang’s corpse, gently covering his face with her fair hand.
In the next second, Nan Cang’s face and body twisted, his skin turning youthful, his face handsome with a tinge of sinister charm.
Exactly like Flame River.
Whether Su Yuan used the Eye of the Heavenly Dao or any other identification methods, he couldn’t find any issues.
The injuries previously left on Nan Cang’s body naturally disappeared without a trace.
Clearly, this was a Divinity Transformation level disguise technique, capable of fundamentally altering a person’s appearance, leaving Su Yuan in awe.
"Xing Ran herself altered more than just Nan Cang’s appearance and internal being; even his fate and the scenes displayed in the river of time have been rectified."
"In this way, even if other Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs personally investigate, this body won’t be exposed."
Wu Luo True Monarch said, casting a beautiful glance at Taibai Phecda:
"However, the suspicion on the Flame Evil Sect must be cleared; remember to handle this matter when impersonating the Governor of Cold Plum World."
"Naturally."
Taibai Phecda nodded slightly, swapped clothes, official seal, and personal belongings with the corpse, quickly transforming into Nan Cang’s appearance.
In the position of Governor, the official seal itself is a Magical Treasure strongly bound to one’s identity.
If the Governor were to fall, the official seal itself would change, possibly even sending a distress signal to the Holy Law Governance Council.
Fortunately, Nan Cang severed the connection between the two worlds, preventing the signal from being sent out.
This provided An Xingran the time to make her moves.
She completely eliminated the distress signal and made certain adjustments to Taibai Phecda’s disguise, successfully making the official seal recognize Taibai Phecda as its original owner, and the previous owner’s demise as merely a judgment error.
Thus, Taibai Phecda unknowingly took control of the authority in Cold Plum World, immediately lifting the blockade on the Main World.
"Junior Sister An, you’ve been a great help."
Su Yuan sincerely thanked An Xingran, and then asked:
"Your work should be finished now, right?"
An Xingran waved her hand:
"This is just the beginning, Sister Su gave me so much hard work, handling a crime scene for you guys is just an appetizer."
"Sigh, speaking of which, being a high school girl in this situation sure is tough. At eighteen, bearing a burden beyond one’s life isn’t easy."
Looking at the sighing, black-haired high school girl, Su Yuan’s mouth twitched, pretending not to hear anything, he asked:
"So, what’s your next task, Junior Sister An?"
An Xingran pointed at Su Yuan:
"Of course, to be with you..."
"To... to be with?"
Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi exclaimed in shock.
"To ascend to the Immortal Realm together, face the Holy Law Governance Council head-on."
After a pause of several seconds, An Xingran added with a smile.
Big Sis, can you not be so suspenseful when you talk!
Su Yuan grumbled inwardly, grinding his teeth.
After calming down, he suddenly realized the implication in An Xingran’s previous words.
The Thousand-Faced Celestial Monarch was planning to attach to him, and ascend together?
This... this was too dangerous!
Even though An Xingran is a Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch, the Holy Law Governance Council has more than one Divinity Transformation member. If discovered, wouldn’t the Blue Star Federation lose a Divinity Transformation?
Seemingly noticing Su Yuan’s thoughts, An Xingran patted his arm and chuckled:
"Don’t worry too much about me, Sister Su’s mission for me is to ensure your safety. As long as you can escape unharmed, everything will be fine."
"After all, you’re the only one in our Blue Star Federation who has mastered the Primordial Dao, ten times rarer than a Divinity Transformation Cultivator."
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan was initially stunned, then warmth spread in his heart.
To ensure his safety, risking a Divinity Transformation?
Having a strong backing makes a difference indeed.
At this moment, Wu Luo True Monarch spoke:
"Su Yuan, don’t think of this operation as too daunting. Don’t forget the Immortal Skin Mask on your face was crafted by Xing Ran herself."
"This treasure alone can block the prying eyes of Divinity Transformation Cultivators; with Xing Ran hanging on you, the disguise effect will be even stronger."
"Even if worse comes to worst, even if you are discovered, with Xing Ran’s survival skills, there’s a ninety percent chance she can help you escape."
Su Yuan nodded, took a deep breath, and said:
"I’m ready, I can ascend anytime."
As for the Fourth Grade official position?
In a situation where everyone in charge in Cold Plum World is one of us, it’s easy to find an excuse for a promotion.
So, which official position should I choose next?
Being a Prefect is too ordinary, and there’s no spot available for me.
The Vice Governor of Cold Plum World sounds pretty good, a Standard Fourth Grade Immortal Official.
Due to Nan Cang’s intimidating presence, no one dared to take this position before, but now...
You may call me Governor now.
