Chapter 688: Chapter 382: Another Sea Stabilizing Pearl (Part 4)

"Water Ape General Yuan Ze, listen to the decree!"

Su Yu unfolded the decree and announced loudly:

"Lis hui Dragon Monarch orders Yuan Ze to be appointed as Water Ape General with a celestial position of the eighth rank, granting him the authority to establish an office and build a staff, with two direct ninth-rank and four subordinate ninth-rank celestial position slots, commanding five hundred million water troops, to pacify the northern section of Lishui and its tributaries, with Silver Wolf Mountain as the boundary."

The water ape bowed and shouted boldly:

"Yuan Ze accepts the decree!"

Su Yu tossed the token in his hand, transforming into a stream of light that landed in Yuan Ze’s hand, becoming a large seal, which was the identity token of the Water Ape General, representing an officially sanctioned celestial position of the Celestial Court.

Indeed, this Water Ape General appointed by the Lis hui Dragon Monarch is not some minor unofficial position, but a legitimate celestial position recognized by the Celestial Court, belonging to the subordinate of Lishui Dragon Palace.

With the precedent of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the Celestial Court now recruits powerful beings with genuine celestial positions, which may not necessarily hold actual power but maintains a dignified rank, avoiding humiliating positions like the Keeper of Horse’s office.

The Dragon Monarch appointed Yuan Ze as Water Ape General with a rank of the eighth, higher than Su Yu’s ninth-grade Patrolling Immortal Envoy, a sincere gesture that Yuan Ze gladly accepted.

Yuan Ze’s two subordinate powerful beasts might have had complaints or dissatisfaction, but hearing there were two direct ninth-rank celestial positions, they ceased to have any objections.

After all, being a mountain king grants freedom but cannot grow large; once it grows large, there’s a risk of being exterminated by the Celestial Court.

Being recruited offers less freedom but is safer and stable.

Moreover, the Dragon Monarch promised they could accept tasks without orders, maintaining their freedom, the best possible outcome.

Yuan Ze accepted the decree and invited Su Yu to join a banquet.

Su Yu did not decline and gladly accepted the invitation.

In the grand hall, many beings gathered, yet now they’re water troop leaders, officially recognized.

Su Yu and Yuan Ze sat together, two Profound Immortal powerful beasts sat below, other water troop leaders gathered around, some behaved normally, some very respectfully, with clear eyes, those who witnessed Su Yu suppress Yuan Ze decisively in battle.

Among the Beast Race, strength commands respect, and Su Yu’s prowess far exceeding Yuan Ze naturally garnered their admiration.

After the banquet, Su Yu joined Yuan Ze and his two subordinate Profound Immortal beasts in the inner hall.

One of the Profound Immortal beasts was also a water ape, same clan as Yuan Ze but lesser bloodline, much older but still at the early stage of Profound Immortal.

The other was a Black Fish Spirit, whose growth to Profound Immortal was deemed miraculous.

Upon seeing this, Su Yu was moved, conjured two drops of ancient dragon essence blood and tossed them toward the water ape and Black Fish Spirit:

"These are yours, you may use them to enhance your bloodline or convert to Dragon Race bloodline, your choice."

The water ape and Black Fish Spirit both brightened up, bowing immediately:

"Thank the Dragon Lord for the treasure."

Su Yu omitted clarifying it was his gift, not Dragon Lord’s, instead shifting focus and said:

"The Dragon Lord’s intention is to grant you territories, but you must clear all rebellious water demons in the northern Lishui and tributary areas."

Yuan Ze promptly replied:

"Certainly, this General will soon rally troops and commence clearance operations against all rebellious water demons in the water system."

The two subordinates, having just received benefits, immediately confirmed:

"We follow the Dragon Lord’s command!"

"Excellent!"

Su Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Two days later, Yuan Ze was preoccupied in seclusion, and the two generals were eager to refine the two drops of ancient dragon essence blood, seeing their urgency, Su Yu bid farewell.

"In the Beast Race, principles are clear, their thoughts remain relatively simple, once they accept a decree and refine the two drops of ancient dragon essence blood, they’ll undoubtedly not betray easily."

"This issue is resolved, next is dealing with the Gold Fish Spirit and the Buddhist sect."

"Unfortunately, the Gold Fish Spirit’s roots are stronger than the Water God Wu Zhiqi of Huai River, equally can’t be killed, only subdued and expelled."

Su Yu sighed deeply, feeling vexed by such circumstances.
