Chapter 356

Although Bai Lu was not a Foxian, her appearance had not changed much compared to Baiheng; she was completely Baiheng as a child.

It was just that Bai Lu had not woken up yet; otherwise, Baiheng would have gone over to kiss her a few times.

Who would refuse their childhood self?

Additionally.

Even from this perspective, Baiheng did not want to see Bai Lu suffer anymore.

Leaving her on the Luo Fu was truly a bit like being in prison.

"Since you don't have the power of the High Elder, how can you part the sea?" Jing Yuan expressed his confusion.

One had to know.

That was not just simple seawater; there were also sealing arts applied by generations of Vidyadhara High Elders.

"There are many methods."

"The Doctor can even create and suppress Emanators; are you afraid he has no way?"

Baiheng had one more thing she did not say.

That was that there was also her.

If that didn't work, she could just make a wish.

If the seal were truly that strong, it would not have failed to stop Phantylia.

And Baiheng's current power was something Phantylia could not block at all.

Finally, Dan Heng was still here.

So there was absolutely no need to worry about this problem.

Afterward.

Jing Yuan recovered some strength, and his mental state improved significantly; only then did the two choose to leave the Synesthetic dream.

Thus, the treatment for Jing Yuan's Mara-Struck state ended.

Reality.

When Jing Yuan opened his eyes, his first feeling was as if a lifetime had passed.

Even though not much time had passed.

"General, you... are you alright?"

The one speaking was Fu Xuan.

She had not been guarding here the whole time; rather, it was only after Baiheng notified her that she came to visit with others.

"Thanks to the Doctor and Baiheng, I feel much better." Jing Yuan stretched his limbs, "The fatigue that used to linger in my heart has also disappeared; now, I shouldn't easily fall asleep anymore."

"That's good!"

Fu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

On the other side.

Yanqing wanted to say something but stopped; only then did he understand why Jing Yuan was always so weary.

It was very likely that he had to divide his attention to keep himself from falling into the Mara-Struck state.

After all, Jing Yuan was also over eight hundred years old.

According to the lifespan of Xianzhou people, he could be said to have reached his limit.

Seeing that Jing Yuan's state was not bad, Fu Xuan had just let the stone in her heart drop when she heard Jing Yuan speak again.

What he said was earth-shattering, leaving her shocked.

"Diviner Fu, in this great disaster, before the Doctor stepped in to help, you blocked my attack on the Luo Fu; it can be said that your contribution is very great, and everyone on the Luo Fu must have seen it. You also presided over the post-war reconstruction work, acting with maturity and rich experience; I believe that you now have the ability to succeed to the position of General."

Jing Yuan paused and spoke again, "It just so happens that the Marshal is also here; I will submit an application to the Marshal to have you appointed as the new General of the Luo Fu!"

Hmm?

Fu Xuan was stunned, not knowing whether she should be happy or excited.

Or rather, she could not believe it.

Because she did not know how long she had waited for this day.

She had even asked Jing Yuan over a hundred times when he would abdicate.

But every time, Jing Yuan would change the subject.

As time went on, Fu Xuan herself stopped caring as much.

After this disaster, Fu Xuan even thought that after Jing Yuan's Mara-Struck state was lifted, he would probably be able to work for another few hundred years.

Therefore.

Jing Yuan's words were completely beyond her expectations.

To the point that she was caught off guard.

"What? You don't seem very happy? Haven't you always wanted to be the General of the Luo Fu?" Jing Yuan laughed.

"That may be so, but the Luo Fu's situation is not very good right now; every place needs someone to preside over the overall situation, and I fear only the General can stabilize the situation and let the Luo Fu recover its former prosperity." Fu Xuan frowned.

Jing Yuan shook his head, "Diviner Fu, I fully trust your ability; you are also proficient in divination, and I believe you can arrange all these matters. Moreover, only by stabilizing the Luo Fu in the midst of a crisis can you truly become the General of the Luo Fu afterward."

"Just like..."

"Me, hundreds of years ago, when the Imbibitor Lunae Rebellion had just ended."

174. Qingque as Diviner, Yanqing as Sword Champion? Wouldn't that blow everything up?

Jing Yuan succeeded to the position of Luo Fu General during the Imbibitor Lunae Rebellion.

The situation on the Luo Fu back then was not much better than it is now.

First, the previous General, Teng Xiao, died in battle.

The High-Cloud Quintet also fell apart one by one; this included not only the Luo Fu's Sword Champion, Jingliu, but also the Luo Fu's Vidyadhara High Elder.

It can be said that under those circumstances, the Luo Fu's top combat strength was slashed by more than half.

All the pressure fell almost entirely onto Jing Yuan's shoulders.

But fortunately, Jing Yuan held firm.

Only afterward.

Did he truly become the General of the Luo Fu, a position he has held until today.

He even became the "guardian deity" of the Luo Fu.

Furthermore.

The amount of time he has spent in the position of General is also exceptionally long.

Few in the entire Alliance can compare to him.

After all, the position of General is actually considered a high-risk profession.

With Teng Xiao before him and Yue Yu after.

Both died on the battlefield.

Even Jing Yuan himself almost didn't make it through this time.

At this moment.

Jing Yuan spoke again, "Diviner Fu, do you know why I never agreed to your many requests to succeed me as General?"

Fu Xuan thought for a moment and replied, "Because without a crisis, it is not enough to convince the hearts of the people?"

"More or less."

Jing Yuan nodded, "You must know how many people covet the position of General, which governs an entire ship. Even if you are already the Diviner, how can you be certain you will be appointed? Even the Marshal cannot guarantee it one hundred percent."

"But in the midst of a crisis, the controversy is much smaller. Those who only know how to fight when things are going smoothly cannot handle an uphill battle."

"If you can stabilize the Luo Fu during this crisis, no one will dare to question your position afterward."

"Do you understand, Diviner Fu?"

These words made Fu Xuan suddenly realize the truth.

Although she might not have been ignorant of these things before, she had never really thought them through in detail.

The Xianzhou Alliance is a massive power; the six Xianzhou ships combined have a population of hundreds of billions, and when you add the territories under their jurisdiction, the scale is too large to even estimate.

Coupled with the fact that Xianzhou natives live for a long time, it is very easy for powerful families and the like to form.

Even Fu Xuan herself comes from the Fu clan, a family of stargazers.

Jing Yuan is much the same.

His family has always operated within the Seat of Divine Foresight.
