"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
"...But that's not my biggest reason for fighting for the right to use the crown. Wearing the crown is risky. The King of Wind and Light is a god, and this planet is his corpse. He may very well be resurrected inside the body wearing the crown."
The traffic light was looking at Li Changzhou.
Aman's face was no longer tired, and his expression was solemn.
"Really?" the little martial saint couldn't help but ask.
“I have seen gods who lived in ancient times and intervened in the present,” Li Changzhou said.
The only sound inside the tent was breathing.
The signal lights sensed a change in the atmosphere; previously, most players favored the Special Operations Bureau, but now they hesitated.
In terms of character, the Special Operations Bureau has an advantage over individuals, but when it comes to resisting the strong—including gods—the strong are more trustworthy.
"I'm willing to take that risk," Hou Feng said in a deep voice.
"This has nothing to do with whether you want to or not. To be honest, whether you live or die is none of my business, but if the King of Wind and Light is resurrected, I won't be able to return to Earth."
"Why can't we sign a contract?" the signal light couldn't help but interject. "Like a written agreement, the person wearing the crown is only allowed to do one thing: make the Four Seasons Star surrender—you have some kind of contract-like artifact, don't you?"
The other players were also looking at the player at the head of the table.
“Yes,” Hou Feng nodded, “but I won’t hide it from you, I can’t guarantee whether the contract will be effective for players who wear the crown.”
"invalid."
Everyone turned their attention to Li Changzhou.
Li Changzhou explained, "When I transform into a divine body, which is three thousand meters tall, written words on paper have no effect on me."
The traffic light heard a gasp, not just from someone else, but also from its own.
Li Changzhou has always had the ability to break the contract and take action against other players.
Was he really trying to secure the right to wear the crown in order to ensure the event would end smoothly?
Trust him... No, what he says might not be true. Even the resurrection of the King of Wind and Light could be a lie fabricated to achieve a purpose.
"Excuse me," a soft voice said, and the traffic light pointed to a female harpist, "Mr. Li, what means do you have to ensure that you are not controlled by the gods?"
After saying that, she quickly added, "Of course I know that you are stronger than us, but I think that in the eyes of the gods, there is no difference between us."
Li Changzhou said helplessly, "You can't see it, and even if I told you, you would think it's just another lie I told."
“I don’t doubt your meaning, I just think... if we can explain it clearly, things will be easier to resolve.”
"It's nothing." Li Changzhou raised his hand, indicating that the female harpist didn't need to worry about it.
"Does anyone have any opinions?" Hou Feng asked, looking at the crowd.
"I have an idea," the street dancer exclaimed, popping a bubble and leaning on the table with excitement. "How about we let the best dancer... uh, I mean, I teach, and you all learn? Whoever learns the best gets to wear the crown, and by the way, I'll admit he's the strongest street dance king!"
"Vote," the kneeling tribe said.
The street dance girl stared at the kneeling group, her purple lips moving as she chewed bubbles with all her might, her eyes, painted with seductive eyeliner, exuding a dangerous aura.
"Okay." Hou Feng nodded.
“I have no objection,” the female sand artist said.
"I don't have any either," the traffic light said.
"Agreed."
"This is the only way."
I'll vote anonymously.
Everyone except Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan, Li Qianxia, Yaochi, Soda Cracker, Aferona, Xiao Wu, and Little Carrot agreed.
Even with steel-reinforced bones, deadly flames, a passing earthquake, a psychiatrist, and a sword meant only to sever throats, he hesitated before agreeing.
Everyone was looking at Li Changzhou.
"Okay." Li Changzhou nodded. "Vote."
"Ha, written agreements have no effect on me."
Li Changzhou smiled at the Fiery Phoenix.
Those whose instincts are related to fire seem to have bad tempers.
The voting ended quickly. Including the infirmary's doorplate and Little Radish who didn't know what had happened, there were a total of 28 people. Hou Feng got 16 votes and Li Changzhou got 12 votes.
"Now that the vote has been cast, Mr. Li, please hand Xia and Dong over to Captain Hou," said Xiong Xinzhuangzhi.
Li Changzhou opened his hand, and after five heartbeats, the perfect, dazzling, and amazing Summer and Winter floated in his palm.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xia and Dong slowly flew up, over the long table, and landed in Hou Feng's hands.
Hou Feng checked the message, looked up, and said, "Received."
"The discussion is over, let's get going and get the crown quickly," the street dancer urged.
"Everyone, get ready to go. Scouts, relocate the Central King's daughter's position."
“I kept watching her.”
Stepping out of the conference room, the soldiers were already packing up the camp, with tents that were once the size of rooms being folded down to the size of quilts.
Li Changzhou and his seven companions, plus a little radish, walked to the water's edge, gazing at the lush aquatic plants.
"Are you really planning to let them use the crown?" Yaochi asked.
“Only they know where the Central King’s daughter is,” Yang Qinglan reminded them.
"Let's talk about it after we get the crown," Li Changzhou replied.
Inside the tent.
The four beads spun in Hou Feng's hand like celestial bodies.
"Li Changzhou will not give up."
"Will he come and steal it?" Fiery Phoenix frowned.
“Based on the Logistics Bureau’s analysis of his life experiences, this person won’t entrust his hopes to others.” Hou Feng’s gaze shifted from the four beads. “I’ll distract him. Who’s next?”
Li Changzhou's words echoed in the ears of the Special Operations Bureau members: "Wearing the crown will allow the King of Wind and Light to possess your body."
