Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7271

Chapter 7185: The Great War God

Seeing that Li Tianming didn’t immediately agree, Hun Dun, unlike Jiu Huang and Wei Shendao’s anticipation, seemed quite patient and didn’t urge him further.

“Actually, there’s another aspect of this transfer order that will benefit you, and you’ll be quite surprised,” Hun Dun said with a slight smile.

“Ancestor Hun Dun, please enlighten your disciple,” Li Tianming said, somewhat surprised, setting aside other considerations.

“The Supreme Ancestor Council, after deliberation, has decided that, given your valiant performance in the ‘Emperor Heaven Plan,’ you are deemed capable of directly leading troops. Therefore, after you take up your post at the Heavenly Emperor Great Wall, you will be directly granted the title of ‘Great War God’!” Hun Dun said solemnly, his voice booming.

“What?! Great War God?”

Wei Shendao and Jiu Huang exclaimed in unison, their eyes wide with disbelief.

It was clear they were both utterly astonished.

While Li Tianming hadn’t yet reacted much to Hun Dun’s words, the two beside him seemed to have exploded with surprise.

“The title of War God was just granted directly like that?” Wei Shendao was almost overwhelmed by the news, his green eyes wide.

“Although Tianming is excellent, he has no merits in the ‘Demon Extermination Plan.’ How can the people be convinced by granting him the title of War God so easily? Those who are fighting on the front lines are the most arrogant…” Jiuhuang was shocked and worried.

However, Li Tianming was puzzled by the reactions of the two people in front of him.

He frowned slightly and asked, “Two Holy Governors, what is this ‘War God’?”

Seeing that Li Tianming didn’t understand, Wei Shendao took the initiative to explain: “The position of Governor is part of the Emperor Heaven Plan’s job system, but the Demon Extermination Plan has its own unique job system, which is the ‘War God’!”

“Generally speaking, even if you are exceptionally admitted to the Demon Extermination Plan, even if it’s just a formality, you should still have to work as a low-ranking soldier for a period of time to accumulate military merits before you can take up a position. I never expected to be directly promoted to the position of ‘War God’… This is a privilege that none of us have ever enjoyed.” Jiuhuang said with a hint of envy.

Li Tianming was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. “Are the merits of the Emperor Heaven Plan really so worthless to the Demon Extermination Plan? Normally, as the Grand Governor, I should at least be a Minor War God, right?”

“These two are different,” Wei Shendao shook his head. “The Demon Extermination Plan’s rank system doesn’t have a Minor War God; the starting rank is Grand War God, so the next level down is just an ordinary soldier.” “Is that so

…” Li Tianming pondered for a moment, then asked, “In that case, what’s the difference between the ‘Grand War God’ rank and the Grand Governor or Grand Imperial Tutor?”

“Of course, there’s a huge difference!” Wei Shendao said, slightly excited. “Although all three are of the same rank, the Grand War God actually has higher authority and status due to the importance of the Demon Extermination Plan. Similarly, the Holy War God above the Grand War God is also of the same rank as the Holy Emperor and the Holy Governor, but with even higher status and authority.”

Jiu Huang then explained to Li Tianming:

“Ultimately, the difficulty of advancement for these three ranks is different. The Imperial Tutor mainly focuses on teaching and guiding disciples’ cultivation, which isn’t too difficult; most can be achieved as long as one’s strength is sufficient.”

“Next is the higher-ranking Governor, who needs to go to war to conquer star systems. There are even concerns that young Governors might have the strength to fight but not the strength to defend, so the Heavenly Emperor Sect provides corresponding protection policies, which are actually all to give disciples opportunities to grow.”

“The Demon Extermination Project faces the real battlefield. Every ancient demon killed there is a real battle achievement earned in the brutal battlefield!”

Even at the end, Jiu Huang was still not out of shock at Li Tianming’s direct appointment as the God of War.

At this moment, Sui Shenyao quietly said, “If killing ancient demons is considered a battle achievement, then Little Li would have already made great contributions…”

Upon hearing the explanations of the two Holy Governors, Li Tianming fell into deep thought for a moment; this was information he had never encountered before.

At this moment, Hun Dun looked at Li Tianming again and said unhurriedly, “That’s the general situation of the Great War God position. If you’ve made up your mind, you can start preparing to go to the ‘Heavenly Eighth Section’ of the ‘Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall’ to take up your post and accept the assignment.”

At this time, Wei Shendao stepped forward, holding a scroll-like object and a document.

“This is…” Li Tianming asked in confusion.

“This is a map of the entire Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall. You can take a look in advance to see where you will be going. Also, this is the relevant document for your posting to the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall. Since I am currently your direct superior, I was given to you earlier.” Wei Shendao handed it to Li Tianming and smiled.

“Thank you, Governor Wei.” Li Tianming reached out and took it, then slowly unfolded the map.

He lowered his head slightly, glanced at it briefly, and quickly saw the ‘Heavenly Eighth Section’ where he might be going.

After seeing that location, Li Tianming’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, his surface remaining calm.

“It’s exactly the same section we passed on our way to the Demon’s Nest?” Sui Shenyao exclaimed in surprise.

“What a coincidence?” An Ning was also somewhat astonished.

Li Tianming, of course, noticed it at a glance as well, but with two Holy Governors and an Supreme Emperor beside him, he couldn’t afford to show any abnormality.

So he didn’t reveal any expression, but silently put the map away again.

“Section 8 of the Heavenly Character… happens to be the closest location to the territory I govern.” Li Tianming mused.

This reaction was just right, neither eerily calm nor overly excited.

Therefore, the three people around him assumed that Li Tianming was seriously considering something and remained silent immediately.

At this moment, Hun Dun seemed somewhat helpless as he said, “I didn’t want to rush you too much, but this is the decision of the Supreme Emperor Ancestor Society, and I need to bring back a reply as soon as possible. So what is your final decision?”

“Go, of course I’ll go. I can gain more merits and serve the Heavenly Emperor Sect, why wouldn’t I go?” Li Tianming smiled slightly. “It’s just that I didn’t really understand the Demon Extermination Plan before. People always have to be responsible for their choices, so I thought it would be better to understand it more clearly.”

“Very good.” Hun Dun suddenly laughed. “Since that’s the case, accepting this assignment means that from now on you will not only be a ‘Grand Governor of a Region,’ but also a ‘Demon Extermination War God’!”

Upon hearing this news, Wei Shendao, Jiu Huang, and even Li Tianming seemed somewhat bewildered.

“Ancestor Hun Dun, what do you mean by this?” Jiu Huang seemed puzzled.
