Chapter 2385: One Man Above Ten Thousand!

"What's wrong with you?" Jian Rufeng noticed Ye Yuan's unnatural expression and asked with some surprise.

This kid, upon seeing him, showed no sign of discomfort.

Was he so flattered just by being invited to be a chief instructor?

How could he know the immense shock Ye Yuan was feeling at that moment?

Was this a dislocation of time and space, or a repetition of history?

Was he existing within history, or was this another time and space?

Or perhaps, was this all a dream?

Everything remained unknown.

Maybe the heavens knew, but they wouldn't tell Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, took a deep breath, and said, "Alright, I agree!"

Hearing Ye Yuan's decisiveness, Jian Rufeng smiled.

The Prodigy Plan had been progressing, but how much fruit it would bear was uncertain even to him.

The foundation of the human race was too poor!

With such a foundation, how long would it take to achieve great development and reach a level to contend with the divine race?

Jian Rufeng's achievements in the Dao of Deduction were indeed unmatched.

But he was merely an anomaly among the human race.

Passing the torch is easy; creating something from nothing is hard!

To create powerful cultivation methods and formidable martial techniques out of thin air, and to make clansmen comprehend the laws, was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Yet, Ye Yuan's appearance was like a lamp in the darkness.

Jian Rufeng's last doubt was dispelled!

Everything was ready; only the east wind was needed.

Ye Yuan was that east wind!

"Hahaha... Good! With you here, I can rest assured!" Jian Rufeng laughed heartily.

Ye Yuan took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Jian Rufeng, and said solemnly, "Senior Xuanji, your great righteousness, exhausting yourself for the human race until death, please accept this junior's bow!"

Jian Rufeng's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise, "What have you guessed now?"

Ye Yuan said seriously, "Billions of geniuses gathered together might not cause trouble at first. But once their talents are fully developed, how could such astonishing auras escape the eyes of Miluo Tianshi? And to conceal the heavenly mechanism of billions of geniuses, even you, senior, would find it difficult, wouldn't you?"

Jian Rufeng stared at Ye Yuan, dumbfounded, and only came to his senses after a long while, saying, "Meeting you, little brother, is truly the great fortune of all races! I still don't know your name, little brother."

"Ye Yuan! But senior, I wish for only you to know this name. Before others, you may call me Ji Qingyun!"

For some inexplicable reason, Ye Yuan made this request.

Jian Rufeng didn't understand why, but this request was trivial, and he readily agreed.

In true history, there was clearly no trace of him.

Ye Yuan even felt that he had never participated in the war of annihilation.

Otherwise, with his talent, how could he have remained obscure?

Moreover, he would only know the truth after taking action.

Thus, Ye Yuan did not intend to use his real name.

But he still told Jian Rufeng the name Ye Yuan, as a sign of respect!

And so, Ye Yuan left with Jian Rufeng.

Leaving with him were also Qin Chao and Mo Xiaocao.

They would join the "Godslayer" as part of the Prodigy Plan.

...

In the underground palace of "Godslayer," all the high-ranking members had gathered.

A group of Celestial Realm experts looked at Ye Yuan with some surprise.

Had Lord Xuanji been away for a thousand years just to wait for this kid?

What virtue and ability did this kid have to make Lord Xuanji set aside the affairs of "Godslayer" and wait for a thousand years?

"I have been away for a thousand years; I thank you all for your efforts during this time!" Jian Rufeng swept his gaze across the crowd and said.

Everyone quickly expressed their humility.

Within "Godslayer," Jian Rufeng was the absolute authority.

He had single-handedly founded "Godslayer," gathering the top experts and like-minded individuals from all races.

That "Godslayer" had developed to its current scale was almost entirely due to Jian Rufeng's efforts.

If he hadn't shielded the heavenly mechanism, how could their deeds have escaped the notice of Miluo Tianshi?

"Everyone, from today onward, 'Godslayer' establishes the position of Chief Instructor! This position is second only to me and has authority over all parties! He can mobilize all resources of 'Godslayer' and command everyone in 'Godslayer'! When necessary, even I am included!"

Jian Rufeng's eyes were bright as he swept his gaze over the crowd and spoke slowly.

At these words, everyone's breathing became rapid.

They didn't know why Lord Xuanji suddenly wanted to establish such a position upon his return.

But naturally, they hoped this position would fall on themselves.

As for Ye Yuan, they hadn't even considered him.

After all, Ye Yuan's cultivation level was too low; he was still a junior.

Jian Rufeng valued him only for his future potential.

The position of Chief Instructor could be said to be one man above ten thousand; how could it be given to such a young lad?

"Lord Xuanji, Lord Wuyun has rendered great service and deserves this position! We will certainly support your decision!" said a high-ranking member of "Godslayer."

"Indeed, no one is more suitable for this position than Lord Wuyun," someone echoed.

Although everyone wanted to be Chief Instructor, they all knew that no one was more suitable than Wuyun.

Wuyun remained silent, but his eyes were fixed on Jian Rufeng.

He knew this position was surely his.

Jian Rufeng waved his hand and said, "All the principles of our 'Godslayer' are for the rise of all races! We have no need for seniority-based appointments! If the races do not become strong, what use is it even if I give him my position? We would still be nothing but a herd of raised pigs and sheep, without any dignity! The Chief Instructor I speak of is not Wuyun, but..."

With that, he turned his gaze to Ye Yuan and said slowly, "Him!"

Buzz!

The entire hall erupted!

"What! Let a wet-behind-the-ears kid be Chief Instructor, with authority over all parties? This... what a joke!"

"This kid is only at the Seventh Heaven of Celestial Thearch; what virtue and ability does he have to deserve the position of Chief Instructor?"

"Lord Xuanji, are you joking with us?"

...

This result was completely beyond their expectations.

Letting a junior at the Celestial Thearch realm be Chief Instructor—what qualifications did he have?

Even if they took turns, it wouldn't be Ye Yuan's turn!

Which of them hadn't worked diligently and risked their lives for "Godslayer"?

But now, a kid who appeared out of nowhere was suddenly placed above them—how could they accept it?

Even Wuyun looked at Xuanji Celestial Thearch in shock, as if seeing him for the first time.

At that moment, a sour feeling welled up in his heart, lingering.

Between him and Xuanji Celestial Thearch, there was a bond forged through life and death.

But today, he felt a sense of abandonment.
