A command.

It can make a large number of the elderly Destruction Level excited and restless in the major Holy Cities.

Such cohesion is almost impossible to see in the urban areas outside the Holy City. Even if there is an enormous opportunity in front of them, people would at least consider whether there are any traps hidden within.

However, this time is different.

The command was issued from the highest level, which means it likely received the approval of the Supreme Saint Master.

No one dares to deceive in front of the Supreme Saint Master.

However, there are still some Destruction-level Transcendents who remain unmoved. On one hand, even though the disaster has been graded below the Catastrophe Level, it's uncertain whether it involves higher-level Power, as this is only a rough assessment and no one can guarantee 100% accuracy.

On the other hand, they worry about their own safety. A disaster covering such a vast area must have something strange about it, which they do not trust.

There's also the lack of confidence to resist the peculiar calamity they might invite upon themselves.

Sunshine Holy City.

This is already the third time Elder Qin has come to this magnificent hall.

The reason is simple; it's solely for the five slots to resist the disaster. Each Holy City only has five slots, and many have fought fiercely for them. But with various forces intervening, the slots have been decided early on.

But Sunshine Holy City is different; these five slots have yet to be determined.

Other Holy Cities only need to allocate the slots to the top-tier forces. If someone is dissatisfied, they can just let the opposing party go and fight the top-tier forces, thereby shifting the conflicts outwards.

However, in the Sunshine Holy City, the Holy Sanctuary Family prevents the emergence of a superpower, keeping things balanced as many factions hold similar standings. Thus, no matter who receives the slots, it's easy to cause discontent.

As a result, Guo Youjing, who is in charge of selecting the slots, feels an infinite headache and is considering dealing with it by drawing lots.

But these forces, each with a sky-high view of themselves, disdain other forces, believing they must secure a place. Consequently, the gates of the management bureau are nearly broken down.

Here we go again.

Having just persuaded a few to leave, Elder Qin of the Qin Family came to visit again.

Even though Guo Youjing really wants to pretend to be ill and avoid seeing him, at the Destruction Level, Transcendents are not usually troubled by any illness.

"Xiaoguo..."

"Isn't there a slight lack of efficiency in your work? Other Holy Cities have already finalized their lists. Is it so difficult for this old man to obtain just one slot?" Elder Qin smiles kindly, yet internally, he's already cursed Guo Youjing countless times.

Damned dog!

Eating so much from the Qin Family, yet pushing back for a single task, always procrastinating.

Imagining whether his constant talk about going to the Ninth District displeased the other party, and hence deliberately made things difficult.

If not for needing something from the other party, he would have long since turned his back on him.

Guo Youjing grinned wryly and said, "Elder Qin, with your ability, I'm afraid you don't need to rely on the Otherworldly Heavenly Dao to step into the Catastrophe Level. In my view, you shouldn't get involved in this commotion."

This line.

He doesn't know how many people he's said it to, all in the hope of dissuading some from vying for these slots to make his distribution work smoother.

However, how could Elder Qin not hear the implication in his words?

But this time, he came to lay all his cards on the table.

The slot.

He's determined to get it!

He slightly squints his eyes, "Xiaoguo, I wonder if you know that our Qin Family has a branch in the Ninth District..."

"I naturally know this." Guo Youjing patted his chest, confidently replying, "No matter who gets the slots in the end, I will personally instruct others to pay extra attention to the Qin Family branch in the Ninth District!"

Elder Qin looked at him with a smile and said, "That's not what I'm talking about. I meant that there, they have recently discovered a young man who awakened less than a year ago yet has progressed to the Apostle Level..."

Guo Youjing had heard of this matter long ago.

Though it doesn't concern him much, the Holy City has numerous geniuses, but most end up stagnating at the Destruction Level. Let alone a small Apostle-level Transcendent.

In other regions, perhaps such a case is seen as a once-in-a-century genius.

Yet in the Holy City, dozens can emerge annually.

Therefore, Guo Youjing's expression remained unchanged. Interlacing his fingers, he softly said, "I understand Elder Qin's intention, but everyone who comes here has an unrefusable reason; this indeed makes it a bit complicated for me. How about this, if you trust me, go home first and wait patiently for the news."

"Considering the Qin Family's situation, we will certainly give you a satisfying answer after thorough consideration."

"Since that's the case, I won't disturb you anymore..." Elder Qin turned to leave, muttering, "I received news that the young man seems to be aiming for the Destruction Level…"

"Wait a moment."

"Elder Qin, what did you say!?" Instantly, Guo Youjing stood up, his voice unnaturally elevated a few notches, his eyes filled with disbelief.

His expression begged for confirmation, as if questioning whether he heard correctly.

That region, he's not unfamiliar with it. Even having an Apostle-level Transcendent is a rare blessing, but Destruction Level...

Outside the Holy City, aiming for Destruction Level is akin to dreaming.

Even Pei Jing from the Ninth District may have reached Destruction Level, but his roots lie in the Holy City's Holy Sanctuary Family, founded on a solid base; it doesn't count.

Elder Qin paused, slowly saying, "Initially, when I received the news, my reaction was quite similar to yours, suspecting that it was false reporting from the branch down there. But later, I thought, even if the creeping understatement is subtracted, his real Realm should be more than just recently entering the Apostle Level."

"If you assign Sunshine Holy City's slots to other forces, you won't hold any advantage in the contention for this individual."

"But our Qin Family is different; that young person and one of my family's juniors can be counted as childhood friends…"

"If you willingly grant the slot to this old man, and should I luckily rise to the Catastrophe Level amid this opportunity and bring back someone likely to challenge the Catastrophe Level, then the Qin Family's favor owed to you would be substantial."

These words.

Guo Youjing's face appeared conflicted.

Soon.

He discerned the benefits and drawbacks, asserted confidently, "Elder Qin, your words are too distant."

"Even if you hadn't come, the slot undoubtedly includes the Qin Family; not even the Saint Master could change this, as I've said!"

For a moment.

In the management bureau's grand hall, the two shared an understanding smile.

Only then did Elder Qin breathe a sigh of relief, admitting that fulfilling Jiang Qingwei's girl's request had truly cost him his dignity.

Otherwise.

Awakening less than a year and now pursuing the Destruction Level…

These kinds of words, indeed, he finds difficult to say.
