Dileina Panics

The First Elder, seated at the very center of the entire council hall, caught the approving and certain look in Pan Zhen's eyes, sighed first, then spoke to Pan Zhen with a hint of helplessness: "General Pan Zhen, are you truly prepared to do this?"

"If that's the case, your lifetime of renown will be utterly ruined!"

"Even if Goddess Lena learns the full truth in the future and wishes to clear your name, it will likely become extremely difficult!"

"Why not reconsider? Let us also try to see if we can find another way that achieves both ends!"

"That's right!" It wasn't just the First Elder; even the Fifth Elder, who had always been at odds with him, also spoke up to persuade Pan Zhen: "General Pan Zhen, please think it over carefully!"

"Moreover, even if you don't consider yourself, won't you at least consider Goddess Lena?"

"She is still so young. Are you certain she can accept this?"

"This feeling of being betrayed by one's closest kin—we have all experienced it to some degree!"

"Do you truly believe that Goddess Lena, at her age, can accept that someone who once loved her most would suddenly betray her?"

In the eyes of the First Elder and the Fifth Elder, Pan Zhen's plan had no flaws. They simply did not want to see Pan Zhen, a man of impeccable reputation, burdened with the great stigma of a usurper before his death!

Yet no matter how the First Elder and the Fifth Elder tried to persuade him, Pan Zhen remained unmoved, showing no intention whatsoever of abandoning his plan.

For Pan Zhen, this moment was the best time to execute the plan.

If it were carried out later, the effect it could achieve would be greatly diminished!

After all, if he were not decisive now, playing the role of the Regent King later would be far too forced!

By then, no matter how outstanding Pan Zhen's acting skills were, others would see through him at a single glance!

Seeing that the First Elder and the Fifth Elder still intended to continue their exhortations, Pan Zhen directly waved his hand, cutting off their desire to persuade him.

Upon seeing Pan Zhen's gesture, the First Elder and the Fifth Elder promptly fell silent, waiting for what Pan Zhen would say next.

Under their gaze, Pan Zhen slowly spoke: "First Elder, Fifth Elder, you need not persuade me further. My mind is made up."

"Back when the Second Generation Lieyang King Di Tianlin entrusted Lena and Solar Star to me, my life had only one goal left: to ensure that Solar Star and Lena would find a good home!"

"Now, you are both well aware of the situation Solar Star faces. As its guardian deity, I must be decisive."

"As long as it can lift Solar Star from its current predicament and allow Goddess Lena to fully grasp the authority over all of Solar Star, even if I must bear eternal infamy, I, Pan Zhen, will not so much as frown."

"Therefore, I ask all elders to fulfill their duties and assist me in carrying out this entire plan smoothly!"

"After all, you know well that if this plan is executed properly, aside from myself, Solar Star will suffer no losses at all!"

As Pan Zhen's voice fell, the First Elder and the Fifth Elder first exchanged glances, then looked at Pan Zhen's resolute face, nodding with tears in their eyes.

Pan Zhen was someone they had watched grow up. Setting aside official rank, he could be considered half a son to them!

These tens of thousands of years of bond were not so easily severed!

Now, the 'child' they had raised with their own eyes was about to sacrifice his life and bear infamy for the civilization he believed in—how could these elders remain calm?

If not for having witnessed countless life-and-death situations over tens of thousands of years, several members of the Elder Council would likely have already broken down in tears.

Seeing the tearful First Elder and Fifth Elder, Pan Zhen hesitated no longer. He directly calmed his mind and began communicating with the Ranking System, posting a barrage.

{Solar Star—Pan Zhen: "Goddess Lena, don't forget, before you have received the knowledge inheritance of Solar Star, I am still the supreme leader and guardian deity of all Solar Star and the entire Lieyang Civilization!"}

{Solar Star—Pan Zhen: "The decisions I make do not require your explanation or report!"}

{Solar Star—Pan Zhen: "If you wish to wield the authority over all of Solar Star, you must wait until you truly become the Sun God!"}

As Pan Zhen's several barrages appeared on the Ranking System, every major civilization across the Known Universe erupted in chaos!

In their view, the meaning Pan Zhen expressed on the Ranking System was clearly an intention to seize Dileina's position as the Sun God!

After all, what minister would show such disrespect to a civilization's chief deity?

Earth, Huaxia, South Sea Fleet.

On the deck of the Juxia.

While the major civilizations of the Super God Universe were busy gossiping, Dileina, standing on the deck, was completely stunned.

She had never imagined Pan Zhen would say such things to her!

Back on Solar Star, though she had clashed with Pan Zhen, he had never spoken to her in this tone!

Even when she was truly wrong, Pan Zhen would reason with her, explaining things clearly.

Not like today, directly using his authority to shut her down!

After an unknown amount of time, Dileina finally snapped out of her stupor.

But having just emerged from her daze, Dileina said nothing to her Xiong Bing Lian comrades. Instead, she rushed frantically toward Du Kao's office!

She desperately wanted to leave Earth now, to return to Solar Star and personally ask Pan Zhen what he truly meant by his words!

Seeing Dileina's actions, the Xiong Bing Lian members hurriedly followed her.

After all, Dileina was still their captain, still their teammate!

If something happened to her, the Xiong Bing Lian couldn't just stand by and watch!

The group moved quickly. In less than a minute, they all arrived at Du Kao's office.

The moment she entered the office, Dileina eagerly expressed her thoughts.

"Du Kao, help me contact Mao Shen. I need to return to Solar Star now, and I need him to take me back!"

"I don't know what's wrong with that Mao Shen! When I don't need him, he's always hanging around in front of me."

"But the moment I need him, he's nowhere to be found!"

"I know you, Du Kao, can definitely get in touch with Mao Shen. Just do me this favor!"
