Chapter 1368: The Whereabouts of the Directors
Whether to call back all the directors...
Hearing Li Ang's question, the four directors couldn't help but look at each other, then looked at each other again, and then... began to stare at each other more fiercely. After staring, their eyebrows began to move along.
Eyebrows flying, eyes meeting, eyebrows drooping, eyebrows furrowing... The time of the four directors seemed to have accelerated. Four pairs of eyeballs and eight eyebrows danced wildly. Sometimes, before the previous expression was half done, the next expression was already impatiently crowding onto their faces.
"..."
What kind of disease is this?
Under Li Ang's speechless expression, several directors didn't open their mouths. The four faces squeezed and moved back and forth for several minutes until they seemed to have basically reached a consensus, and then they calmed down.
"Sorry."
After smiling apologetically at Li Ang, who seemed to have been "isolated," Golden Bull Director explained gently:
"We have been together for decades, plus we jointly hold the interconnected Star Palaces, so communicating like this is faster... Li Ang, regarding whether to call back other directors, we are now two votes against two votes. What do you think?"
What do I think... Does it mean I, this reserve director, also have a vote?
Li Ang hesitated after hearing this, then asked back:
"Can I ask what tasks the other directors who are out are performing now?"
"You can."
Director Archer nodded.
"Although you haven't fully mastered the Aquarius Palace and can't obtain all the permissions of a director, you can already know this information... Among the seven directors who are still outside, White Sheep, Virgin, Scorpion, and the Director-General have gone deep into the Old Earth to find the treasures lost by our human ancestors.
As for the remaining four, they are all performing tasks in the thirteen major planes near the present world.
Capricorn Director is purifying the contaminated Heaven Mountain to avoid the demons of the Abyss from completely losing control; Lion Director is guarding the Disordered Four-Fragment World, clearing out those troublesome guys who died in the past but are trying to kill their way back.
Libra Director is responsible for jamming the Star Realm to avoid those foreign gods with overly filthy rules from breaking into the present world and causing contamination. And the Twins Directors were assigned by the Director-General to enter the Source God Platform to find a way to completely kill the ancient gods in Giant Crab's belly."
"..."
Purifying Heaven, strangling old enemies, jamming the Star Realm, executing ancient gods... Good grief, just hearing it, I know they are all life-threatening jobs. No wonder the Bureau is in such a mess and they haven't come back...
After hearing the tasks taken by the other directors, Li Ang, who was in a dilemma, fell into silence, while Director Giant Crab rubbed his big belly and chuckled:
"If you ask me, it's not easy to move the others, but actually, we can find the Twins Directors first to top it off.
After all, the Director-General asked them to go to the Source God Platform to find the marks left by the ancient gods, just because I won't live long, worrying that the next Director Giant Crab won't have enough level to suppress the ancient gods reviving in my belly.
But it's different now. As long as Li Ang resigns first, leaves that damn Aquarius Palace, and takes the exam at my place again, with the talent he has shown, in five years at most, I can lead him to eat all the..."
"Alright, don't say such things!"
After glaring at him with dissatisfaction, Golden Bull Director blocked him:
"Although directors can resign early, there is no precedent for participating in the selection again after resigning! And if Li Ang resigns early, the Aquarius Palace will probably be empty for many years!
In short, the Twins side cannot be moved. If the ancient gods in your belly are not handled quickly, it might be a more fatal thing than the Slaughter King Society in a few years. Instead of calling the Twins back, it's better to call Capricorn back!"
"Capricorn cannot be moved either."
Director Archer shook his head:
"If it weren't for Capricorn supporting it, the erosion suffered by Heaven Mountain would be ten times more serious than it is now, and the number of demons born would probably double directly. It might even raise two more Great Demon Gods at the Four-Pillar level."
"Then Lion..." "Not possible."
Pisces Director frowned:
"The rules of the Four-Fragment World were all broken by the third Director-General. If we don't care at all, those enemies who died in the past might really be able to drill back from the broken time sequence. So if we must have someone come back, Libra is still the best."
"Not possible."
Director Giant Crab shook his head vigorously and said with displeasure:
"If you ask me, Libra's position is the most important. You guys haven't forgotten the foreign god with the 【Blood Moon】 rule last time, right?
Just a tiny bit of rule residue that leaked in after it died made the whole moon red for three weeks! If a foreign god of the same level passes through the Star Realm after Libra is called back and successfully embeds its own rules into the present world, what should we do?
If it really comes to that, everyone in the world will look up at night and see a full moon full of mouths hanging in the sky, looking down at them hungrily and drooling?"
"That's not impossible."
Director Archer said thoughtfully:
"I had envisioned what to do if that really happened. We could open the 【Illusion Can】, dig out the brain of Azur's Sleep inside, and forcibly make all humans not look up at the moon.
Then send the 【Molting】 of the Myriad-Thing Cicada up to wrap the entire moon, and spend about ten years to forcibly molt that foreign god that eroded the moon out of the moon. That should eliminate the influence."
"Are you crazy?"
After hearing Director Archer's words, Golden Bull Director couldn't help but get angry.
"Can these two things be moved casually? And how do you know the next foreign god's rule will still be Blood Moon? What if a foreign god with 【Barren Plain】 or 【Deep Drought】 rules comes? Are you prepared to let most of the present world be dry for ten years?"
"If other foreign gods come, we naturally have to use other methods... For example, if a foreign god with 【Barren Plain】 rules really comes, we can take out the heart of the Crimson Overlord and directly use its blood to replace water to eliminate the drought. After all, its blood is inexhaustible."
"No! Don't even think about such things!"
"Still have to think about it."
Pisces Director stood up at this time and reminded seriously:
"Joan, your soul is damaged now, and I only have half the level of my peak state. Archer is about to replace Giant Crab to guard the Abyss. The Bureau only has one actual 'Director-level' person, but there are four kingdoms to guard. We must be prepared for the worst!"
"However, if Aquarius is really trustworthy, the situation will be different, right?"
Director Giant Crab thought for a while and suggested:
"If Aquarius can fulfill the duties of a Palace Sitter, we can transfer the Zodiac Director over, in advance..."
"What if Aquarius has ulterior motives?"
Director Archer narrowed his eyes:
"Even if the content on the 【Paper Strip of the Past】 is true, once other Zodiac Directors move, the Slaughter King Society will immediately change its target and attack other kingdoms without the Zodiac Director guarding them. The result will probably be worse than it is now!"
"In the final analysis, there are too few people available. The branch directors of the small branches generally don't have enough strength..."
Golden Bull Director sighed helplessly.
"If there could be a few people who don't rely on the blessing of the Star Palace and can still stably suppress True Gods after leaving their posts... hmm..."
Wait, such people... it seems there are some?
