Elder Brother, I knew you’d agree!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bull Demon King looked at him, deeply moved, and sighed: “Seventh Brother, you’ve found a true brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Chen, today you warned us of the coming great calamity. From this day forward, you are my brother, Bull Demon King!” Bull Demon King said solemnly to Su Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Brother, you flatter me,” Su Chen quickly returned the gesture. “It is my honor that you all trust me. Since we are brothers, we must sail the same boat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well said—sail the same boat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come! Drink this cup!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drink!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six Great Demon Kings and Su Chen raised their cups together and drained them in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cup of wine marked the founding of a new demonic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After setting down his cup, Bull Demon King sat and spoke up: “Alright, since we’re all agreed, let’s discuss how exactly we’ll run this Demon Alliance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he made up his mind, he no longer hesitated, immediately shifting into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong scratched his head and looked at Su Chen: “Little brother, what do you think we should do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was an excellent fighter, but building a power structure and setting rules? He was completely clueless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen did not refuse, stepping forward confidently: “Since this is an alliance, we need a charter. First, we must establish a leadership core.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Sun Wukong, then at the other Great Demon Kings: “I propose that Elder Brother Bull serve as our first Alliance Leader!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bull Demon King immediately waved his hands: “No, no—I can’t take that position.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was shrewd enough to know the Leader’s seat was dangerous—it made one the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also saw clearly: Sun Wukong was the true reason all these demons had gathered. Sun Wukong’s reputation among demons was now at its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re here today solely because of Seventh Brother. The title ‘Great Sage Equal to Heaven’ is now a banner among all demons in the Three Realms. I believe he is the most rightful and most respected choice for Leader.” Bull Demon King said gravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon Demon King nodded: “Elder Brother is right. Besides, Huaguo Mountain is Seventh Brother’s territory. Our Alliance’s headquarters must be here. Morally and logically, he should be the Leader.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monkey King and Yu-Rong King also agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong, hearing this, blushed and waved his hands frantically: “No, no—I, Old Sun, can’t be Leader. Let Elder Brother take it—I’ll be your Vanguard Commander!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Monkey, stop refusing,” Su Chen now said. “Elder Brother Bull and the others are right—only you can be Leader. If you feel the burden is too heavy, we can establish a Council of Elders.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Council of Elders?” Everyone paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Su Chen explained. “The six Great Demon Kings will form the highest decision-making body of the Alliance—the ‘Demon Alliance Council of Elders.’ The Leader will be Brother Monkey. The other five Great Demon Kings will serve as Deputy Leaders. If the Chaos Sky Great Sage joins later, he too will be a Council member.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daily affairs will be handled by the Leader. But any major decision affecting the Alliance’s future—such as going to war or forming alliances—must be discussed and voted on by the Council. A majority must agree for any decision to pass.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen’s proposal lit up the eyes of Bull Demon King and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a good idea!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It established Sun Wukong’s leadership while preventing him from ruling autocratically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By distributing power among them, it ensured the Alliance’s stability and protected each of their own interests and influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brilliant idea!” Bull Demon King clapped his hands in approval. “I agree!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I agree too!” the Dragon Demon King and the others nodded eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong, seeing there was no escape, scratched his head and said: “Fine then. I, Old Sun, will reluctantly take the position of Leader. But if I do a bad job, you all must remind me anytime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Naturally,” everyone laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, the leadership core is settled,” Su Chen continued. “Next, we need specific positions. A mature power cannot rely solely on a leader—it needs people to handle concrete affairs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at them solemnly: “I propose establishing a Counselor position beneath the Council of Elders.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Counselor will not participate in Council decisions, but will be responsible for formulating the Alliance’s development strategy, establishing rules and regulations, training troops, and managing internal affairs. In short, he is the ‘Chief Steward’ to the Leader and the Council.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong immediately said: “Who else but my little brother could fill this role? Little brother, this position is yours!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I agree!” the Dragon Demon King said at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lion-Camel King and the others, recalling Su Chen’s sharp analysis, agreed he was the only suitable candidate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bull Demon King paused, then nodded: “Su Chen has exceptional wisdom. He is the best choice for Counselor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Su Chen shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great Demon Kings, I fear I cannot accept this position.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?” Sun Wukong exclaimed. “Little brother, if not you, who else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen smiled bitterly: “Brother Monkey, Great Demon Kings—have you considered my identity? I am human. If a human becomes your Alliance’s Counselor, do you think the demon kings below will accept it?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1120,"2026-06-21T05:42:07.836Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","99d13058a31f4f15e0d689f378b16938a65a8a2a6cfc79a6cd82bf776624a414","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-98","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-96",470,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-cover.jpg"]
