As Wang Teng watched Hengzang Bo and the others depart, a hint of a smile crept onto his lips.
“Wang Teng, you have succeeded,” Round Ball remarked.
Before arriving at Five Burial Stars, they had never expected such an outcome.
At that time, everyone was probably waiting to see Wang Teng’s downfall. A cosmos-stage warrior aspiring to be a councilor was simply overestimating his capabilities.
Especially those councilors at the Seventh Stellar Academy who had conflicting interests with Wang Teng. They had assigned him to Five Burial Stars, hoping he would embarrass himself here, or even… meet his demise!
Unfortunately for them, they had underestimated Wang Teng’s abilities and strength.
Of course, even Wang Teng himself wouldn’t have expected things to develop to this extent before coming here.
It was all a series of fortuitous circumstances.
If he hadn’t obtained the Five-Element Divine Physique, the five major families wouldn’t have accepted him so readily, and his strength wouldn’t have been enough to withstand the casual attacks of the eternal-stage ruler.
If the Heishan Royal Clan hadn’t appeared, plunging the Five Burial Stars into crisis, the five major families wouldn’t have accepted Wang Teng so easily either.
And there was the mysterious demise of the Black Skull Universe Pirates fleet, followed by the arrival of the Virtual Universe Corporation, all directly or indirectly contributing to the current situation.
In fact, each of these incidents alone would have been enough to make the five major families compromise.
However, the effect might not have been as good. freēnovelkiss.com
Only when these incidents combined to create wave after wave of shock for the five major families could such a significant effect be achieved.
“Yes, I’ve succeeded,” Wang Teng echoed, feeling deeply moved himself.
The timing of this god-stage prodigy contract from the Virtual Universe Corporation couldn’t be more perfect. Now, Wang Teng shouldn’t have to worry about any more troubles arising on Five Burial Stars.
Finally, he could leave with peace of mind.
“The elders of the five major families were quite taken aback by you,” Round Ball remarked as if recalling something amusing.
“They weren’t taken aback by me, but by the grand gesture of the Virtual Universe Corporation. These old foxes want to leverage the corporation’s influence to restore the prestige of Five Burial Stars. The invasion by the Heishan Royal Clan has dealt a heavy blow to Five Burial Stars. The arrival of the Virtual Universe Corporation couldn’t have been more timely.”
Standing with his hands behind his back, Wang Teng’s eyes gleamed with insight as he smiled faintly, saying, “But it’s nothing to worry about. The Five Burial Stars is now under my jurisdiction. Their development will benefit me as well.”
“Do you think anyone will pick the fruits of your labor?” Round Ball hesitated for a moment before asking.
“The fact that the Five Burial Stars compromised in front of me doesn’t mean they will do so in front of other councilors,” Wang Teng replied confidently, smiling faintly. “If they had the ability to subdue Five Burial Stars, they wouldn’t have entrusted its governance to me.”
“Moreover, the decisions of the Academy Arbitration Association won’t change overnight. If they did, who wouldn’t see the underlying issues?”
“Even the judges wouldn’t dare to take such a risk.”
“True,” Round Ball chuckled at the response. “It seems that even if we leave Five Burial Stars temporarily, there won’t be any problems.”
On the other side, after returning, Hengzang Bo and the others immediately summoned key figures like Hengzang Chuan and Yizang Bai for a meeting.
At the meeting, all the core members of five major families were present, including Hengzang Mo, Guizang Yan, Yizang Xinnuo, and the other young martial warriors.
They were invited to attend the meeting because they were quite familiar with Wang Teng and had some interactions with him. They would be needed in the future.
“Hengzang Chuan, I want you to initiate a propaganda campaign regarding this matter immediately,” Hengzang Bo pondered for a moment before issuing the command.
“Yes,” Hengzang Chuan understood the importance of the matter and responded promptly.
A hint of joy flickered across his face. Finally, they could turn around the declining situation of Five Burial Stars. It had been frustrating to watch many forces leave the star without being able to intervene.
They had never felt so stifled before, given their traditionally dominant approach.
“By the way, let’s not leak the news about Wang Teng obtaining the god-stage prodigy contract for now. We’ll focus the propaganda around the Virtual Universe Corporation,” Yizang Zhao suddenly interjected, his eyes flashing with insight.
“Wiry is that?” Yizang Bai was momentarily puzzled, not grasping the key point.
“Currently, only we know about Wang Teng’s acquisition of the god-stage prodigy contract. This is our advantage. Those people from the major factions are still on the Five Burial Stars and are trying to win over Wang Teng. We cannot let them have their way,” Yizang Zhao explained.
“Exactly,” Guizang Ling chuckled. “Although this news will eventually leak, the longer we can keep it hidden, the better it is for us. By the time they realize, we may have already built enough trust with Wang Teng. Even if other powers intervene later, they won’t be able to shake our position in his mind.”
“Hahaha, well said, Elder,” Guizang Feng laughed heartily.
“If they happen to offend Wang Teng inadvertently, even better. We can watch them dig their own graves,” Shouzang Tuo sneered.
“But it seems to me that this Wang Teng is already planning to leave Five Burial Stars,” Yizang Zhao added.
The others were suddenly astonished, all turning their gaze toward Yizang Zhao.
