Little Fire God

These bishops witnessed how Chen Wang used his methods and facts to demonstrate that following his approach yielded tremendous results and remarkable victories.

This also dealt a heavy blow to the Qin Family Lineage, one of the founders of Qiongqi Mining, and caused a great deal of chaos.

Public opinion is now escalating, but the situation is actually quite positive for the Church.

At this moment, Chen Wang leaned back in his chair.

"Nine bishops are a bit too many."

In my opinion, five is just right.

"A maximum of six."

Chen Wang's tone was calm.

If he had said those words earlier, it would have only aroused others' suspicion or contempt.

But when he said those words again, the old men's eyes lit up and they fell into deep thought.

Just as there are conflicts among the top leaders of the Three Great Powers, the same is true in the Church.

This small group was already quite obvious before Chen Wang arrived.

Lei Guohua and his two companions formed a small but relatively powerful group.

But if we're talking about someone who can win people's hearts, there isn't one.

Liao Changli and his group, on the other hand, formed another relatively powerful small group.

He had many notorious subordinates and his style of doing things was more flamboyant.

Apart from Lei Guohua, they didn't take the others seriously.

But now, the three of them are contradicting each other, openly and secretly hindering progress. Under these circumstances, following Lei Guohua and his two companions is a good choice.

A light shone in everyone's eyes.

If they can reorganize their forces, and then redivide their territories and power after stepping down, their individual strength will be enhanced.

This is not just a small benefit; it involves many aspects.

However, the old man with large eye bags Huo Zhengyuan, slowly said, "I naturally think this is good, but isn't it a bit too hasty? The Church has not yet gained a firm foothold, and the Three Great Powers have not yet reached a conclusion before they start fighting amongst themselves."

Chen Wang said, "To repel external threats, we must first pacify internal ones. During this period, everyone has worked hard and united as one, and the results are obvious to all. However, Liao Changli and the other two are really not keeping up. For the benefit of everyone, we must remove them from office."

The old man with the hawk-shaped nose was named Zhou Duan. He cleared his throat and said, "Divine Child, if I may be so bold as to say something offensive, if you consolidate your power further and if Old Lei and the others gain even more power, wouldn't five bishops be too many?"

This is a very real problem, but the old man has brought it to the forefront.

Chen Wang shook his head and said, "I am not a politician, and I don't understand so many intricacies."

"In the future, the entire Winter will submit to the Church. You all have a bright future ahead of you. Your current resources are far too little to be worth fighting for. In the future, you will be needed to lead the entire Winter. There is no need to worry about that."

"The reason we dealt with those three is because they are now going against the Church's overall development strategy. The car is already moving, and no one can stop it."

"I'm only asking them to step down for everyone's benefit; otherwise, it makes no difference to me."

"As for Old Zhou, there's no need to worry. When I said six, it was to give Old Song one spot."

"Although he remains neutral, as long as he doesn't hold back, he will definitely have a place among the final six bishops."

Everyone was impressed by the young man's magnanimity.

They could see that this young man didn't want the Church at all; he wanted to unify Winter and the whole world! Zhou Rui was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "But if we move against them now, a bloody war will break out, which will be a huge drain on the Church's strength."

Chen Wang smiled and said, "That's what I wanted to say. Killing the three of them is nothing to me. But I need everyone to make a decision: should we kill them or spare their lives?"

Before Zhou Duan could speak, Huo Zhengyuan suddenly looked up at Chen Wang and said, "Aren't you underestimating those three? He's surrounded by experts."

"Once a fight breaks out, it will have far-reaching consequences."

Chen Wang smiled and said, "This matter wasn't originally that complicated. We could have detained the three of them under the pretext of a meeting."

"Although this method is simple, it can leave hidden dangers."

Several elderly people looked at Chen Wang.

Chen Wang slowly said, "What we want is the unity of the Church, so that orders can be effectively communicated from top to bottom. If we set this bad precedent, won't you all have something to worry about when you come to meetings in the future?"

"This rule cannot be broken; that's the premise."

There was a hint of appreciation in Huo Zhengyuan's eyes as he looked at Chen Wang.

Young people who wield power and hold high positions are most vulnerable to lawlessness.

A ruthless and decisive nature may lead to success, but a lack of principles is terrifying, even to the point of fearing that one's own people might be killed.

"Then what should we do?"

However, he was also confused by Chen Wang sitting on the sofa and didn't understand what this young man wanted to do.

Chen Wang said, "If the name is not correct, the words will not be proper. When doing such a great thing, one must be upright and honest."

"Send a document to them, ordering them to make changes within a specified period. Be sure to reprimand them severely and order them to hand over their military power."

"This announcement needs to be sent to the entire Church, and it also needs to be given to these individuals so that they are aware of it."

Huo Zhengyuan said, "Isn't this forcing them to rebel?"

Chen Wang said, "That's right. We don't need to resort to tricks or schemes; we just need to see what they're thinking."

"The Church is in a very good position right now. If they want to cause trouble, they are trying to change this situation and will lose the support of the people."

Lei Guohua suddenly said, "But what if things really get chaotic?"

"At that time, we will be in a worse situation than the Qin Family, and some of our bases will also be attacked."

Chen Wang said, "If they had rebellious intentions, do you think some information wouldn't have been leaked beforehand?"

"Do you think there's no one in the Church who's colluding with the Three Great Powers?"

Chen Wang's words were not very polite. Lei Guohua was one of his earliest and most loyal supporters, and when he was rebuked, the old man just pursed his lips.

Zhang Fengming couldn't help but say, "Divine Child, aren't you being a bit too harsh with your words? We are your elders, after all."

Chen Wang said calmly, "We're talking about important matters now. My tone might be a bit harsh, but I'm doing this for the good of the Church."

Before Zhang Fengming could say anything more, Lei Guohua said, "I'm not in a hurry, why are you?"

Chen Wang had a long talk with him, and this conversation between him and Chen Wang had been planned long ago.

Sure enough, at this moment, Huo Zhengyuan and Zhou Duan's expressions changed slightly, and they seemed to relax a little.

Chen Wang continued, "If those three rebel, I will personally arrest them and bring them back."

Everyone's eyes lit up. "They have a fifth-tier expert by their side!"

Chen Wang said with a smile, "Fifth rank is fine, as long as it's not sixth Tier 7."

His tone made the others somewhat skeptical.

However, Chen Wang's outstanding achievements led everyone to believe that he was young and impetuous, and they all fell silent.

Among the crowd, the first to express his opinion was Zhou Duan had previously been the most dissatisfied with Chen Wang.

Zhou Duan smiled and said, "I agree. The Zombies outbreak is not a good sign in my opinion. In chaotic times, we must use drastic measures."

The second person to respond was not Lei Guohua, but Huo Zhengyuan.

The hunched old man smiled and said, "That's right. If the three of them really rebel and start a war because of this, we can afford to pay the price of clearing out the discordant voices within the Church first."

Zhang Fengming, the smiling old man, raised his eyebrows.

Unexpectedly, these two people changed so quickly, becoming staunch supporters of Chen Wang so soon.

The tone was quite resolute, indicating that they were willing to pay any price.

Lei Guohua wholeheartedly agreed, but outwardly nodded faintly. "I agree too."

Zhang Fengming spread his hands. "You guys always say I'm bold, but now you've made such an outrageous decision based on such a bold statement."

Even the usually meticulous Wen Zhen nodded. "I agree."

Zhang Fengming felt somewhat out of place at this moment.

All eyes turned to him. This old man, who looked like a bird-walking grandpa, was also a bishop standing at the pinnacle of the Church. He chuckled and said, "Let me clarify first. I was just sighing and thinking about it. It doesn't mean I disagree with doing it this way!"

Everyone smiled slightly, and the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed.

What Chen Wang said today touched them somewhat.

The Church's resources are too small; these few bottles and jars are not worth fighting over. If we're going to fight, we should take down the entire Winter.

They've always had this idea, but none of them have the magnanimity to do it.

After agreeing on their course of action, everyone left.

In the end, only Chen Wang and Lei Guohua remained in the room.

Lei Guohua smiled and said, "I thought you were just a powerful warrior with a calm mind and meticulous thinking, more suited to fighting alone."

"And judging from your resume, you don't seem to have liked cultivating your own power base in the past."

"But looking at it now, that's not entirely true. You're very well-suited to be in a position of power."

Their previous actions were intended to allay Huo Zhengyuan and Zhou Duan's suspicions. After all, they joined later and feared not gaining their trust. Seeing that Chen Wang and Lei Guohua's side also had some flaws and weren't perfect, they believed they had a chance to win over Chen Wang later.

It's not to say that Chen Wang was a die-hard fan promoted by Lei Guohua.

The reaction so far has been positive; the two of them were the first to express their support for Chen Wang.

Chen Wang said with a smile, "In the end, we still need to come up with something to win."

"We must achieve results with such swift and decisive measures, and press on with our momentum."

"Otherwise, whoever comes up with this method will have to take the blame."

Chen Wang smiled.

Lei Guohua's eyes lit up. "Every time I see you, I feel old."

Chen Wang blinked. "Do you still think you're young?"

Lei Guohua was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"Damn it, I'm rock hard every morning, you don't really think I'm an old man, do you?"

Even the usually composed old man, Lei Guohua, couldn't help but swear at this moment.

Those who know him well would probably be very surprised to see this.

The next day

Chen Wang has returned to the Cultivation World.

He is currently in seclusion in a secret chamber on Golden Wind Island, with a Tier 5 Potion potion placed in front of him.

"The Church is still the most generous."

Chen Wang shook his head. Even with all the merits he had made in applying for the Tier 4 Potion, he was still not ranked highly at Qiongqi Mining.

He suspected that his report might have been dismissed after being glanced at by the important figures.

After all, he wasn't a direct descendant of Qiongqi Mining; he was a temporary worker who had been promoted from an unregistered individual.

"Tier 5 Potion, Little Fire God."

Chen Wang's lips twitched.

This Tier 5 Potion was extremely important to him. It was a fifth-tier Fire Element Gene Serum, but the name made Chen Wang want to laugh.

It is said that this name was given by Shen Mubai, the director of the Church's Potion Research Institute.

"The third rank is called Thunder God Wind God, and the fifth rank Little Fire God. This person's temperament seems a bit wicked."

Chen Wang shook his head.

The Tier 5 Potion is extremely powerful; once injected, his abilities will be overwritten.

This is far more powerful than the coverage of a fourth-tier Mind Magician.

After being injected with the power of a fourth-tier Mind Magician, he still retained at least the power of the Thunder God's Evil Spirit Envoys.

"Healing, transform into lightning, immune to physical damage."

Chen Wang muttered to himself.

Although the Tier 5 Potion possessed a higher level of power, he was somewhat troubled by it.

However, he quickly made up his mind.

My alchemy skills haven't improved much, and my affinity for Fire Element is still insufficient. I desperately need Fire Element potions to enhance them.

A fifth-tier fire-attribute potion should enhance his Fire Spiritual Root.

In this respect, it is far more important than anything else, and it is absolutely crucial. Moreover, there is another important factor: it can enhance his alchemy skills, which is also a matter of great potential.

"Although Thunder God's abilities are flashy, they are not very powerful. They are not as good as the Five Thunder Talisman or the Five Thunder True Method. The same goes for the Evil Spirit Envoys. In the Cultivation World, they almost never encounter physical damage. Their healing abilities are for treating external injuries, but they cannot heal the internal organs or Law Technique damage."

Chen Wang muttered to himself.

The abilities of the Mind Magician might be a bug for Winter.

However, for Chen Wang, there are many Healing Pill that can achieve the same effect, and this skill is not so earth-shattering.

Therefore, this fifth-tier Fire Element potion, Little Fire God, is extremely crucial to him.

Chen Wang examined the medicine and found nothing wrong with it, so he injected it.

Soon, it was as if something within him had awakened, and a surging, scorching power began to flow through his body.

Chen Wang's body instantly turned red like a boiled shrimp, with steam rising from the top of his head.

In an instant, he was drenched in sweat! Chen Wang felt as if his whole body was being baked, as if his internal organs were being dried out. He couldn't help but let out a low growl, emitting a beast-like sound!

The Tier 5 Potion is extremely dangerous after injection, and not only that, the failure rate is also ridiculously high. It is an extremely violent power.

After Chen Wang's physical strength awakened, Chen Wang clenched his fist, his fingers bulging with veins, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into a furnace, extremely hot.

He tore his clothes to shreds, revealing a muscular physique with sharp, defined lines, like a rock, brimming with explosive power.
