"Major announcement?"

The upper echelons stationed in Northern Wolf City all received this message and were quite surprised.

These past few days have been like a roller coaster for them.

First, Jiangnan fell into a major crisis, then Jiangnan killed the Future Buddha and cooperated with the Buddha Kingdom, and afterward, Jiangnan captured Heaven’s Court. The three forces joined hands to resolve the Demon Realm forces, as if all the battles were finished within just a month.

When other forces prepared to enter Northern Wolf City to extract resources from the Northern Wasteland, all the leaders were stunned. What does this mean?

In their big data predictions, this was likely to be a war lasting at least tens of thousands of years, possibly even a million years.

Previous Eras were like this; the first million years were extremely chaotic, and not until a million years later did the situation stabilize relatively, with the four forces standing independently, taking what they needed, then quietly awaiting the end of the Era, to hibernate and enter the next Era.

They did not intend to eliminate other forces entirely, nor did they plan to make Chen Qing the sole power.

They initially intended to just leverage Chen Qing, and most were secretly waiting for instructions from Old Liu or Elder Long. They didn’t expect that Old Liu had no intention to instruct them from the start, and before Elder Long could, it was over...

Is this a joke?

How can they earn merit now? How can they make it into the upper ranks?

When a group of people first received the news, they were entirely bewildered and directionless, but being merely one or two-year-old children, there wasn’t much they could do.

Unexpectedly, before they overcame their period of confusion, some members received call-up messages.

And not long after receiving the messages, someone came to pick them up. Strangely, the elders who usually showed them care and warmth didn’t seem to notice they were taken away.

All of the members felt a chill in their hearts.

This meant that the Noble Families they reincarnated into had almost no protective power over them!

Of course, they also knew that ordinary Noble Families had no resistance against an Extraordinary Force like Chen Qing, but Chen Qing somewhat cared about people’s feelings below him and wouldn’t act coercively. Logically, they should have some cover.

But now it seems they overthought, forgetting that this world still had things like Illusion Techniques. If Chen Qing wished, he could have swapped them even when they were young!

"Today, I’ve gathered you here to discuss something important."

Chen Qing looked at these adorable little children with cold eyes.

At such a cute age, their eyes revealed various complexities, a scene he disliked.

Kids should be kids, and past lives should be past lives.

Retaining memories of past lives will be the last time permitted; otherwise, future order would undoubtedly be chaotic.

The meaning of Reincarnation would also vanish. Otherwise, what family would want their child, in truth, to be an ancient monster of unknown age in their heart?

"Mister Chen, please speak," spoke Ye Lin, the head representative of the Ye Family.

He was the main person being groomed by the Ye Family this generation, already a National Congress Member at just forty.

With the opportunity of the New World, although most Ye Family members could enter, top Noble Family spots were limited, and Ye Lin was the only one besides the old Family Head to have a spot, almost the leader among the remaining youngsters.

"A year from now, the fourth version will fully descend, and an unlisted monster will appear. We predict, the chance of successfully resisting it is less than ten percent. The situation is critical, so we need an insurance mechanism."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the members were dumbfounded.

What?

A year later, we’ll be done for?

Isn’t that what Chen Qing meant?

Less than ten percent, even cancer surgeons dare not claim such a low rate; otherwise, the surgery wouldn’t be worth attempting!

They had given up top political statuses managed in the Digital City for years, coming to this New World to make big moves, but after being born for just one or two years, not yet weaned, were told this world was going to end?

Are you kidding me?

Even though returning now would mean their former status remains, it would certainly be greatly affected. After all, the Federation is a democracy, not your back garden; it’s not so easy to reclaim a National Congress Member status, quite difficult indeed.

And..... the key is, this opportunity for Longevity, is it going to be lost?

"Mister Chen, you... aren’t joking, are you?" some members asked difficultly.

"Do you think I would joke about such things?" Chen Qing shot them a glance and said.

"Probably not, just feeling..." For a while, the members didn’t know how to respond.

Only Ye Lin frowned and said, "Mister Chen, is this why you’ve summoned us?"

"Insurance mechanism!" Chen Qing sighed and said, "The situation is very dire. If that monster destroys this place, you might even be devoured. It’s highly possible she knows how to get to the Digital City, so the Digital City must be sealed off, and to prevent the passage from being forcefully or indirectly opened, permission must always exist to shut down this world! "

"This... might not be possible," Ye Lin said with an ugly expression.

It seemed Chen Qing wasn’t lying, thinking emerged to shut down this world, there probably really was such a monster.

But to give the authority to destroy the world to those outside, they certainly weren’t willing.

"This isn’t up for discussion," Chen Qing shook his head. "You’d better cooperate, or when I take compulsory action, the consequences for your entire Noble Families, I guarantee, you cannot accept."

"Mister Chen, are you threatening us?" Ye Lin’s face grew darker.

"Think of it as you wish," Chen Qing replied nonchalantly. "At a time like this, still considering diplomatic power issues, your group is indeed rotten through."

"We don’t mean that..." Ye Lin hurriedly explained, "Giving the authority to them lightly, what if they stop this world recklessly? You know, people’s hearts are complex... we are also thinking for safety."

"Hmm..... that makes sense," Chen Qing nodded. "If you go back, could you control the situation?"

"This..." Ye Lin thought for a moment, "If we go back, we’ll lose many opportunities. If we can luckily get through the crisis, wouldn’t Mister Chen give us a bit of a reward?"

"No problem," Chen Qing nodded. "As long as you can control the situation, can pass the assessments to return, I guarantee, if we win this time, you can achieve the purpose of Longevity in your hearts."

All members’ eyes lit up but immediately realized.

"An assessment?"

"Yes." Chen Qing said softly, "Among you, there might be spies!"
