Chapter 520: Chapter 375 God’s Authority_2

Sìxiàng remained silent, for it wasn’t afraid, yet it worried about causing its master trouble.

Seeing Sìxiàng’s silence, the Dark Overlord found it to be normal.

Even in the era of disputes among ancient deities, the existence of powerful Divine Power was sufficient to serve as a Divine King of a divine system.

“The conflict between Him and me was also over Authority, remember this! To deities, everything else can be ignored, but the struggle for Authority is the core contradiction.”

“One of the Authorities I previously controlled was called [Judgment], and one of His main Authorities was [Punishment]. Before that, He had already obtained [Judgment]. The Authority of Judgment was plundered by Him, including my Divine Artifact being taken away,” the Dark Overlord narrated calmly.

Years had passed, and much of the resentment and dissatisfaction gradually subsided over time, eventually leaving only the regrets of the victor and the vanquished.

“Although the Authority of Judgment was plundered, the Dark Realm still has a core Authority that He cannot plunder, which is the fundamental Authority of the Dark Realm—[Imprisonment].”

“If you inherit the [Imprisonment] Authority, it means you inherit my will. Even if you don’t acknowledge it, I don’t acknowledge it, He won’t believe it; only your death could signify the end of this grudge.”

As far as I know, the deities of the principal planes are about to revive progressively. Although He possesses strong Divine Power and revives later, this time will be at most a hundred years.”

“Wait…how many years?” Sìxiàng suddenly asked.

“A hundred years,” the Dark Overlord said, somewhat puzzled, not understanding why the mood of the little fellow opposite seemed a bit off.

“Are you sure it’s really a hundred years? Could it be that He suddenly revives in ten years?” Sìxiàng asked again for confirmation.

The Dark Overlord said lightly, “Why would I lie to you? Although my divine body has fallen, my perception of the world has not diminished.

Of course, the revival I speak of is a complete revival, meaning the actual arrival of His Divine Country on the principal plane. His consciousness awakening should be earlier, probably in about forty to fifty years.”

Sìxiàng paused for a moment, “I accept your inheritance.”

“Hmm, although you can’t accept the inheritance for now, I can start teaching you…what did you say?” the Dark Overlord doubted that he had heard it wrong.

“I accept the inheritance,” Sìxiàng confirmed decisively.

A hundred years for a complete revival? It might not understand that god, but it certainly understands its master.

…

“Chen Ascension, there’s been some unusual occurrence in the competition committee,”

“What kind of unusual occurrence?”

“You’ll know once you watch the video.”

A staff member from Great Xia handed over a tablet where, in the video, two Beast Tamings were fiercely battling.

One of the Beast Tamings was a White Jade Elephant Seal, and the other was a Lightning Thorn Shark.

As the two Beast Tamings battled intensely, suddenly, the body muscles of the White Jade Elephant Seal churned like boiling water, its strength surged, and it directly sent the opposing Lightning Thorn Shark flying.

However, in the footage, the pristine body of the White Jade Elephant Seal turned purplish, and squinting, it looked like a purple sweet potato.

“This one, I remember, is a characteristic Beast Taming from our Great Xia’s Ocean Line 02 Secret Realm, right?” Chen Xing asked.

“Yes, but this particular one was sold to the Inte Family of the Eagle Federation in the video.”

“Does the native White Jade Elephant Seal also turn purplish in body?”

“No, this competition also features a White Jade Elephant Seal that entered the final thirty-two, but its skin color hasn’t changed.”

Then the staff member switched to another video.

In this video, too, was a python whose white and jade-like scales hardened until they became purplish as the fight intensified…

And then the third, the fourth….

One might be a coincidence, but several in a row, consecutive videos make it clear.

Anyone who hasn’t noticed something odd about these Beast Tamers from the Eagle Federation is either foolish or blind.

“Hand over the videos to me; I’ll consult the opinion of Eagle Federation’s Ascension,” Chen Xing said with a playful smile. “Such an obvious matter cannot be overlooked by everyone worldwide, there must be an outcome.”

…

“Damn it! Why did it get discovered! You told me it wouldn’t be found before! Didn’t you say the reagent you developed was absolutely safe and undetectable?” Sean, the head of the Eagle Federation’s Sports Department, scowled darkly.

The Eagle Federation’s Athletic Department oversees and organizes all major competitions within the Eagle Federation, as well as selecting participants for international competitions.

This entire incident was orchestrated by him.

Of course, the complicity of the higher echelons of the Eagle Federation was also inevitable.

After all, in recent years, Great Xia’s performance in the world Beast Taming competitions had become increasingly impressive.

The high echelons of the Eagle Federation also needed to showcase their achievements.

Now, since Blue Star had a unified atmosphere against external forces and internal wars were not possible, many international discourses were indirectly determined by the outcomes of these large competitions.

The performance of Beast Tamers in international events indirectly represented the national strength of a country.

So he took the lead in developing the new reagent that could not be detected by existing methods. After dozens of tests confirmed there were no obvious symptoms in appearance, it was massively introduced into the competition.

The result, unexpectedly, stirred up a huge mess.

Sean was certain, not only was his position under threat, but there was also a high probability he would end up in federal prison.

Thinking of this, Sean’s face turned ashen.

He stared intently at his secretary, desperate to know why such a glaring loophole was exposed.

The secretary stood trembling, after all, the big leader Sean was an Advanced Beast Tamer of the Transcendence tier.

Even if his position was lost, killing him, a Senior Beast Tamer, would be very easy.

Threatened by the risk to his life, the secretary hastily confessed everything he knew, “It might be because the test subjects used by the inspection personnel were Beast Masters with lower Energy Levels… since higher Energy Level Beast Masters have stronger resistance, they thought if the low Energy Level Beast Masters could endure without any special reactions, then the high Energy Level ones definitely would too…”

“Shit! Fuck!” Sean angrily swept the piles of books off the desk.

He couldn’t believe it was due to such a shitty reason!

“Didn’t I give them one hundred billion in funding? Tell me, why couldn’t they spare even one Beast of Transcendence with one hundred billion!” As he spoke, Sean suddenly felt slightly guilty because he had taken forty billion for himself… but there was still sixty billion!

The secretary trembled, “You indeed said one hundred billion, but only three billion actually made it to the lab… As far as I know, in the days the funds were disbursed, five new and expensive water coolers were added to the finance department.

Not even a tenth of it.”

Moreover, the researchers in the lab weren’t there for the salary alone, so the actual funds available for experiments were even more pitifully small.

No, he wasn’t supposed to talk about the funds.

The secretary, nervous since he himself had also taken a tiny “billion” seeing Sean take so much, needed to quickly divert the fault.

“Director, I recall that the researchers were mostly using dark-colored creatures for experiments, and the reagent wasn’t obvious on dark creatures. The exposed Beast had very white skin, so it was very visible, turning almost purple.”

“Hah.” Sean scoffed, weary of it all.

These idiots, even if they were embezzling, couldn’t they at least ensure the project succeeded before embezzling?

If things had gone well, taking a bit of money wouldn’t be scrutinized by everyone.

After all, everyone did it, especially within the military. The previous president, who wanted to send accountants to audit the military’s books, saw the accountant killed in a plane crash by a wild creature, and then the president himself was assassinated by a cult from the Exotic Region.

Since then, no president dared review the military’s financial books again.

But if things aren’t done well, and a massive mess is created, it’s over!

Unless a Divine King personally intervened, no one could save him.

“Killed by these idiots, heh, such a huge scandal, you’re all going to die.” Sean walked to the window, looking out.

Smack~

Five minutes later,

Loud screams emerged from downstairs as many people ran around frantically.

“The Director is dead!”
