Soon after, the four divisions left in waves, heading for the Fenglin State Government Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Government Office was taking the lead this time. The Observatory was simply there to provide support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the Government Office would be the one making the arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, half of the Observatory’s personnel were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fenglin State Government Office, responsible for managing the livelihoods of all the people in the state, held a position of great importance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the area outside the Government Office was already packed with a dense crowd of constables and Chief Constables. A single glance revealed there were over a thousand of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t just from Fenglin State; many had been transferred from surrounding counties, all to maintain order within the state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very front stood a middle-aged man in official robes. With his hands clasped behind his back, he surveyed his surroundings, exuding an air of scholarly refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu State Governor was the head of Fenglin State, responsible for the people’s livelihoods and governing countless counties. He held a position of immense power and authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Years ago, Liu State Governor had risen from a humble Scholar to his current position, making him a role model for many from modest backgrounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Liu State Governor was now waiting patiently, his gaze fixed on the far end of the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a wait of about fifteen minutes, a group of people appeared at the end of the street, rapidly approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each person wore black official robes, with Tokens hanging from their waists, swaying with every step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of the Jia Division, a man named Ye Feng, walked to the front of the group. He came to a stop before the constables and bowed with cupped hands toward the Liu State Governor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jia Shou Ye Feng, reporting to Lord Liu. All personnel from the Observatory have arrived. We await your orders, Lord Liu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Liu State Governor stroked his beard and nodded. \"We have many constables. How about we assign them in a three-to-one ratio with your Observatory members?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Feng had no objection. \"We will follow Lord Liu’s arrangements completely. We are only here to provide support.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting any more words, the Liu State Governor waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, the thousand-odd constables began to disperse, integrating into the ranks of the Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding Divisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the four divisions seemed to swell in number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai watched as the men joined the Ding Division. He said nothing, only gently stroking Amber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the ranks were more or less filled, the Liu State Governor didn’t issue his next command. Instead, he turned to look in Shen Bai’s direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else noticed the State Governor’s gaze and wondered what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai asked, puzzled, \"Is there something you need, Lord Liu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Liu State Governor smiled. \"I just wanted to get a look at you, the renowned young talent of Fenglin State.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai rubbed his chin. \"It’s just an empty title. A man of your status, Lord Liu, has no need to pay mind to such things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This man is a heavyweight on the same level as Liu Wufeng, one of the ultimate symbols of power in Fenglin State.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Shen Bai was speaking honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Liu State Governor shook his head. \"I’m just like you. I also rose from the bottom. Back when I was a Scholar, I often couldn’t even afford to eat. That’s why I admire you. Keep up the good work. If you ever need my help with anything in Fenglin State, you can come to me at any time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are some things Lord Liu can’t do that I can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he said this, the way everyone looked at Shen Bai changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The significance of that statement, especially spoken in front of everyone, was immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was tantamount to a promise from the Liu State Governor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagine it—a promise from the most powerful man in Fenglin State. This meant that with his backing, Shen Bai could do almost anything he wanted in Fenglin State.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai cupped his hands. \"Thank you for your high regard, Lord Liu. When I have the time, I will certainly visit the Government Office for a long talk over drinks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Liu State Governor laughed heartily. \"Of course! My Government Office is always open to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s just how it was. When someone had potential, great strength, and a decisive, genuine personality, powerful figures like him had the foresight to build a good relationship with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the Liu State Governor said no more. The mission, after all, was urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai then led the members of the Ding Division to their assigned streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Shen Bai was assigned to guard the most bustling street. After all, with the largest crowds, it was also the most likely place for trouble to erupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire morning passed by in a state of watchful waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the citizens began to adorn their homes with festive red decorations, preparing to welcome Fenglin State’s great annual celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fervent atmosphere only began to die down as night fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Erniu was a commoner in Fenglin State who scraped by doing odd jobs for others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was now the most festive day of the year in Fenglin State, but for Huang Erniu, it was anything but.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else was celebrating, but he alone felt a bitter sting in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While working odd jobs at an apothecary, he had once heard that there is only one true illness in this world: poverty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, this was the absolute truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His two children, dressed in tattered clothes, were fast asleep on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Erniu turned his head to look at the ancestral tablets enshrined on a small table, and his anger flared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Other people’s children eat meat on any given day, but I can’t even afford it for mine during the festival.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t even buy my kids a little treat during the state celebration. What kind of father am I?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Erniu walked up to the ancestral tablets. Staring at the yellowed, shriveled fruit offerings, the rage in his heart swelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snatched up a tablet, slammed it to the ground, and stomped on it viciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no money, yet I still have to worship you! It’s nothing but misery! What gives you the right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint, resentful energy began to emanate from Huang Erniu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emanating resentment flowed and converged into his shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>",1116,"2026-06-03T14:13:27.146Z","2026-06-03T14:13:33.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","40e4fd7e8b9af854cc5ff48f72deafc108998064e318a24ff90532ab94d726c9","i-can-extract-divine-power-chapter-185","i-can-extract-divine-power-chapter-183",322,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-extract-divine-power-cover.jpg"]
