Chapter 887 - 913: The Valued Zhang Han
Chapter 887: Chapter 913: The Valued Zhang Han
Within Tiantu.
The Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm showered Zhang Han with praises.
Regarding the loss of two Golden Runes by Zhang Han, there was no blame, only continued praise.
After a good deal of praising.
The Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm began to speak of official matters.
“Rewards are given for contributions, and penalties for offenses. Zhang Han, you wounded Zhun Ti, which is a great merit. I wish to grant you governance over a province. Are you willing to accept?”
The Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm slowly spoke, articulating this carefully thought-out proposal.
With Zhang Han’s capabilities, he was completely capable of governing a province.
He wanted to elevate Zhang Han’s status, and this was the only way to do so by giving Zhang Han more authority.
This would raise Zhang Han’s standing.
He needed Zhang Han, this ‘strong arm’, and since Zhang Han had rendered meritorious service, he couldn’t let Zhang Han’s heart grow cold.
“Respected Master, what does governance of a province mean? Isn’t my current role serving you by overseeing a region?”
Zhang Han asked, somewhat puzzled.
“It’s quite different. Currently, you are only presiding over half a province on my behalf, and you’re just managing its fortunes without any real authority. What I am about to grant you is the governance over an entire province.”
The Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm with hands clasped behind, walked a few steps outward, back facing Zhang Han, elaborating clearly.
“Then, Respected Master, what does authority entail?”
Zhang Han questioned further.
He didn’t quite understand, what was the difference between authority and simply presiding.
“If you have governance over a province, then within that province, you are the most revered. Even I cannot intervene in your affairs. For instance, Chu Yuan, you should know him, right? He holds the authority over two provinces.”
The Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm voiced again, explaining to Zhang Han.
He showed an unparalleled patience for Zhang Han.
A patience he had never shown before.
Meanwhile, upon hearing this, Zhang Han’s heart trembled.
Governance over a province meant no one could control him.
Wasn’t that equivalent to being a lesser Heavenly Dao?
This authority was probably too immense.
Directly making him a lesser Heavenly Dao?
“Respected, Respected Master, isn’t this authority too great?”
Zhang Han was truly frightened, his voice trembling.
“Your merit is sufficient for this authority. However, as you are not born of the Heavenly Dao, having this authority means only acting on behalf of the Heavenly Dao. I may not control you, but you also cannot fully merge with this authority, do you understand?”
The Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm added further.
Considering this, Zhang Han’s heart grew eager after a brief thought, regardless of anything, this was a valuable opportunity to control a province.
If he were to betray later, the loss for the Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm would be even greater.
He didn’t really care about this inability to completely merge.
Not born of the Heavenly Dao, unable to merge.
But let’s not forget he also had a Respected Master.
When the time comes to reveal his position, just hand over the authority to Respected Master, wouldn’t everything be settled?
Despite thinking this way, Zhang Han would not appear too eager. Facing the words of the Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm, he naturally declined.
But the Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm did not give Zhang Han a chance to refuse.
Forcefully insisting that Zhang Han accept this authority.
Zhang Han, feeling ‘helplessly compelled’, could only agree.
Upon Zhang Han’s agreement, the Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm immediately took out a golden glowing orb and handed it to Zhang Han.
“Zhang Han, you only need to place your hand into this orb to stimulate the authority of a province. I am giving you Southern Heavenly Province and also, two Celestial Saints to aid you in governing the province.”
The Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm stated.
“Great kindness from the Respected Master, your subordinate will definitely not let down your tremendous grace! I will surely govern Southern Heavenly Province well!”
Zhang Han, with trembling hands, received the golden orb.
He wasn’t pretending, but genuinely trembling.
This was the governance over a whole province.
How could he not be excited, not tremble.
In the Immortal Realm, there are only four major provinces.
“Alright, go and familiarize yourself with how to wield the authority of a province. I hope you can govern it well and also make more contributions to the Immortal Realm.”
The Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm looked quite composed, nodded slightly, and slowly spoke.
With these words,
Zhang Han no longer said anything more, bent in a bow, holding the golden orb, preparing to leave.
He had only walked a few steps.
When a voice came, calling him to a halt.
“Zhang Han.”
It was the Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm speaking, stopping Zhang Han.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Han abruptly halted, his steps stiffened, his heart becoming a bit flustered. Could it be that the Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm had discovered something?
Or perhaps, was this golden orb a test from the Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm?
Zhang Han’s heart might be flustered.
But on the surface, he remained very calm, waiting for the Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm to speak.
The Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm in front of him stared at Zhang Han for a long while.
And then he slowly spoke.
“This is a source Rune I condensed. Using it, you can possess the strength of a Half-Step Great Dao Saint for the duration of an incense stick, but it only lasts for one stick of incense. However, it should be enough, and it compensates for the two Runes you used.”
“Zhang Han, I have high hopes for you. The authority over Southern Heavenly Province is just for you to get accustomed. Once you are totally familiar, I will also hand over the authority of Northern Immortal State to you.”
Only to hear the Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm speaking like this.
After saying this, a golden Rune condensed in his hand.
This Rune was more profound and vast than the five previously given to Zhang Han, filled with even greater power.
After condensing this golden Rune.
The Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm without further ado, directly injected the golden Rune into Zhang Han’s body, not even giving him a chance to feign refusal.
Zhang Han, feeling the golden Rune inside his body, was momentarily stupefied.
Then he heard the subsequent words from the Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm, was the authority over Southern Heavenly Province just for him to familiarize himself?
Would he later be given the authority of Northern Immortal State too?
Damn.
Has the Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm gone mad?
Wanting to hand over everything to him?
“Respected, Respected Master, if you hand over all authority to me, what about you?”
Zhang Han swallowed hard, asking incredulously.
“I am the Heavenly Dao, naturally not prone to intervene much in affairs. With the authority handed to you, if you can govern well, I naturally will not interfere with these matters.”
The Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm slightly shook his head.
As he spoke, he still watched Zhang Han.
The admiration in his eyes for Zhang Han was unmistakable.
He was very optimistic about Zhang Han.
Hearing his tone, Zhang Han’s heart didn’t know what to say.
His position was indeed getting higher and higher.
Could he ask his Respected Master to pause their schemes for a while, give him some time, and then he could just find an opportunity to overthrow the Celestial Dao of the Immortal Realm and take over himself?
But better not, the risks of such a move were too great.
Not worth it.
Better to follow his Respected Master’s plans.
Zhang Han just dared to think about it, where would he dare to actually do that…
What do you think?
