Ning Chuan and his group hovered high in the sky, and as they talked, they attracted the attention of more and more soldiers. So they didn't stay any longer and flew into the military base that the Federation had built in the far north.
Upon entering, they were met by Bai Qi and Wei Chen, who were walking towards them.
"I was just looking for you..."
As soon as Wei Chen spoke, he noticed the people next to Ning Chuan, hesitated, and didn't continue.
Seeing this, the group realized what was happening and prepared to leave.
"Principal, can I stay?"
Qin Lang was in a good mood because Ning Chuan had returned safely, and he joked with a smile, "I am the deputy hall master of the Supreme Hall. No major secret can be kept from me!"
Bai Qi stood opposite him, shook his head, and said, "It's not a secret."
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, then smiled casually and said, "If you're willing, just say it. I have nothing to hide."
He trusted everyone present.
Let's find a quiet place to talk.
Wei Chen nodded, led the group into a conference room, closed the door, and then looked at Ning Chuan, asking solemnly, "Do you want to become the Supreme Commander of the Federation?"
The words were finished.
The conference room fell silent abruptly.
Everyone was speechless, their eyes filled with astonishment, and they all looked at Ning Chuan.
The meaning of "Supreme Commander" is self-evident.
This position only appeared once during the Twin Martial Star War, held by Wei Chen, who was responsible for overseeing the overall situation and resisting the invasion of the Heavenly Martial Realm.
As for the subsequent presidents elected.
In reality, they don't have much power.
In some ways, they are equivalent to professional managers responsible for Federation livelihood issues.
Ning Chuan remained expressionless, pondered for a moment, and said, "Should we give it a name?"
The Federation is now in disarray, and having a nominal leader would make it relatively easier to stabilize the situation.
"No."
Bai Qi stared at Ning Chuan with a solemn expression and emphasized, "He is the true supreme commander!"
We can mobilize the entire resources of the Federation!
I have the right to command all humans, including myself and Wei Chen.
Those who disobey will be executed!
With chaos looming and war raging, the Federation's responses must be extremely decisive and swift. It's better to have a unified approach than to have everyone arguing and passing the buck!
Upon hearing this, everyone was once again shocked.
This is truly entrusting the fate of the Federation to an eighteen-year-old youth!
In the past, this would have been absolutely Dharma Aspect!
However, considering it's Ning Chuan, it's reasonable and not an exaggeration.
Wei Chen took over the conversation and said in a deep voice, "This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea for Bai Qi and me. We had this idea as early as when you were promoted to Knight and returned from the Moon God Ruins."
I originally planned to tell you after Martial Star's revival.
I just didn't expect that you had already grown into the Federation's strongest person before the era of revival.
As he spoke, Wei Chen couldn't help but shake his head, filled with emotion.
The same was true for the others.
Although they had long known that Ning Chuan was extremely talented and had witnessed it many times, this speed of growth still stirred their emotions and left them incredibly shocked.
"Certainly!"
Wei Chen let out a breath and reminded Ning Chuan, "Ultimately, this is just a suggestion from Bai Qi and me. Whether or not you take on the role is your decision."
Even so, Wei Chen really hoped Ning Chuan would agree.
He had practically watched Ning Chuan rise to power and knew Ning Chuan's character well. He wasn't exactly a great philanthropist, but precisely because of this, he was suitable to serve as the supreme commander of the Federation.
However, Wei Chen was unwilling to use righteousness to pressure others.
Therefore, when discussing matters with Ning Chuan earlier, they had considered avoiding Qin Lang, Lu Zhan, and others.
Whether you agree or not, I will respect your choice.
Wei Chen said frankly.
Ning Chuan nodded slightly, his face expressionless, lost in thought.
At this moment, Bai Qi looked at Ning Chuan and said directly, "The current situation in the Federation is still under control. You don't need to rush to answer; you can consider it carefully."
The supreme commander's decision is of paramount importance and should be made with utmost care; it cannot be made rashly.
"I see."
Ning Chuan spoke earnestly.
Seeing this, Wei Chen smiled and changed the subject, saying, "These things can be taken slowly. The most urgent thing is to get a title."
"Under normal circumstances, you should have brought this up when you were Knight, but now that you've been promoted to Heavenly King, you can't delay any longer!"
Wei Chen said with a smile.
Ning Chuan glanced at him, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Does Heavenly King need a title?"
Many of the Heavenly King he met were referred to by their real names.
"Yes, we need it!"
Lu Mengyue raised her hand, smiled slightly, and said, "After Divine General is promoted to Heavenly King, their title will be retained."
However, the Heavenly King has a long lifespan, which is unmatched by ordinary people.
Once their peers have all passed away, the title of "Heavenly King" is often no longer mentioned, thus announcing the end of that era.
Then, one should use one's given name as a respectful title.
Lu Mengyue explained in detail the reasons behind it all.
Ning Chuan raised an eyebrow, looked Lu Mengyue up and down, and said in surprise, "You know quite a lot. I remember your college entrance exam score wasn't very high."
This is a little-known fact.
Lu Mengyue blushed slightly, looked away, and whispered, "You told me before that you would take me home after I became a Heavenly King, so I looked up a lot of information about Heavenly King."
Qin Ya, sitting beside Ning Chuan, turned her pretty face upon hearing this and said with a smile, "So that's what happened. This is the first time I've heard of it. No wonder the Palace Master chose the Wang Family for the final battle of the Path of Invincibility. He's truly farsighted and admirable. In the end, he can achieve multiple goals at once!"
She deliberately emphasized the word "many".
Ning Chuan understood the metaphor, coughed lightly, and said seriously, "It's not that much. It's all fate, and we were forced to go with the flow."
"That temple master is really lucky!"
Qin Ya smiled gently and said, "Fate is predetermined and cannot be changed, which I greatly envy!"
Ning Chuan's lips twitched involuntarily. His senses were sharp, and he clearly perceived that behind Qin Ya's smile, her pearly teeth were grinding together so hard that sparks almost flew out!
Fortunately, Wei Chen didn't notice anything amiss. He then returned to the previous topic, asking, " Ning Chuan, is there any title you'd like to receive?"
Ning Chuan quickly replied, "I haven't thought about the specifics yet."
However, as an honorary title, it is best if it is related to past experiences, personal cultivation characteristics, and vision for the future.
Everyone's here, can you help me with some advice?
"Um!"
Lu Mengyue nodded vigorously, her beautiful eyes shining, and said, "You are already Heavenly King, so a single-character title is quite suitable for you."
How about using " Eastern King " as a respectful title?
Lu Mengyue spoke quickly, clearly having already thought it through, and excitedly said, "I talked to my dad about it once. The character 'Dong' can refer to the Donglin Administrative Region, and it also has a grand and majestic connotation. The sun rises in the east, unchanged since ancient times, and it will remain so for countless years to come!"
"Good..."
Before Ning Chuan could finish speaking, Qin Ya smiled and shook her head, saying, "Sister Lu Family, I feel it's a little inappropriate."
"Although Ning Chuan graduated from Donglin, the foundation for his current glory was mainly laid at Galaxy University. In his mind, Galaxy University is probably more important than the Donglin Administrative Region!"
As she spoke, Qin Ya turned her head to look at him, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Palace Master, don't you think so?"
Lu Mengyue also looked at Ning Chuan, watching him with some nervousness.
