Chapter 260: Golden Great Era
“Chief Enforcer’s Command!”
Looking at the token, Zhou Tong’s heart skipped a beat, seemingly guessing the other party’s intention.
“Senior… you…”
“No need to say more, I am passing the position of Chief Enforcer to you!”
These words were like a thunderclap, causing Mu Ran Ya beside him to display an expression of disbelief.
However, Zhou Tong remained calm, with an expressionless face saying, “The Chief Enforcer commands the continent and holds authority across the seas. Such an important position can’t be passed on so casually, can it?”
“Hahaha… You really amuse me.”
The Chief Enforcer laughed heartily: “To remain as calm as a placid lake in the face of such temptation is truly extraordinary. I can entrust you with it with greater peace of mind!”
“You’re still young…”
“What does being young matter? The future is for the young to carry!”
The other party stated decisively: “From the moment we first met, I listed you as a candidate for evaluation. The facts have proven I was not mistaken; your performance has completely exceeded my expectations. Who else would I pass it on to if not you?”
Zhou Tong fell silent, instead, he stroked the token.
The Enforcer organization is currently the most powerful force of the Human Race, without comparison.
In the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Continents, plus the Central Continent, there is one enforcer each, totaling five.
Aside from the Law Master and a few elders from the Elder Hall, the Chief Enforcer is the highest-ranking and most authoritative individual in the Enforcer organization!
Holding the command token, no matter which continent, one can mobilize the local enforcers.
This power reaches up to the Ninth Heaven and down to the Nine Oblivions; wanting to act at will is not a problem, and no one can resist such temptation.
“Boy, pick up the token!” the Chief Enforcer said sternly.
Although Zhou Tong had doubts, he still complied, but the next moment, his brow furrowed.
The token, which had felt light before, now felt as heavy as if burdened by the weight of mountains and seas!
“So that’s how it is…”
After probing the token, Zhou Tong suddenly understood.
This token actually emanated the power of law, which should be a part of the Authority of Law.
Without knowledge of the law, it appears as light as a feather.
With knowledge of the law, one realizes its weight is like a mountain, vast as the sea, impossible to traverse lightly!
It seems the Chief Enforcer isn’t chosen arbitrarily; whoever gains the recognition of the Authority of Law becomes the Chief Enforcer!
With this thought, Zhou Tong chuckled and released all his magical energy, effortlessly lifting the token.
His mindset could bear the weight of the world and support the universe; merely an incomplete authority could naturally be grasped at will.
Seeing this scene, the Chief Enforcer displayed a surprised expression.
“You truly are the most suitable candidate; this is fate—you should accept it!”
“In that case, I will not refuse!”
Zhou Tong was not polite. In the next moment, the token fused into his palm, merging authority with personhood.
“Alright, now we should discuss serious matters.”
Han Ye’s tone suddenly became extremely solemn as he said, “Do you know of the Golden Great Era?”
“Of course, I know.”
Zhou Tong said without hesitation, “The so-called Golden Great Era is a time when spiritual energy is extremely abundant, and the laws of the Heavenly Dao no longer restrict the cultivators.”
“The opposite is the Void Era, just like now, where the Sage is the limit for cultivators; no matter how strong one is, without breaking that barrier, they cannot become a Holy King!”
In his previous life, the Golden Great Era suddenly descended, and a few people led by Zhou Tong were the first to break through the Sage barrier, paving the way ahead of all cultivators.
However, according to his memory, there was still a long time before the arrival of the great era.
“The Golden Great Era is coming soon.”
Han Ye said concisely, breaking Zhou Tong’s contemplation and causing him to gasp sharply.
“How do you know this?”
“It’s arranged somehow beyond our understanding; this matter cannot be disclosed.”
The Chief Enforcer’s gaze was profound and cryptic, and through probing mental fluctuations, Zhou Tong knew the other party was not lying.
“My rebirth indeed changed many things!”
He mused and did not doubt the other party’s words.
“Though the arrival of the great era is a joyous occasion, what does it have to do with me?”
“It previously had nothing to do with you, but now it does!”
“Because I became the Chief Enforcer?”
“Precisely!”
Han Ye smiled and said, “I want you to participate in the Hundred Sects Convention to seize fortune!”
He then disclosed a secret: “If nothing unexpected occurs, this will be the last Hundred Sects Convention, taking place in the Central Continent. At that time, all the prodigies will gather here to compete for fortune for their respective sects.”
“And as the Chief Enforcer, if you can dominate the convention, it will not only strengthen the Joyful Union Sect but also allow the Eastern Continent to take the biggest slice of the pie.”
“When the continents merge, the Eastern Continent will become the new Central Continent, securing a foothold first in the Golden Great Era!”
“I see!”
Zhou Tong finally understood; this old fellow had indeed devised a good plan.
By passing the Chief Enforcer position to him, he could not only lighten his own burden but also seek benefits for the Eastern Continent—truly killing two birds with one stone.
“You don’t need to tell me; I’m going to participate in the Hundred Sects Convention, and I’ll depart soon!”
Zhou Tong said with a smile, but suddenly his brow twitched, and his expression became subtle.
“What’s wrong?”
Mu Ran Ya asked with concern.
“Someone is cursing me, and it’s a large group!”
He smirked, revealing a charming arc.
“It seems before I leave, I need to settle some old grievances…”
…
Xuanhuang Mountain, Jade Purity Sect!
Mo Liushu had become the nominal sect leader and a puppet of Tang Qi.
With the nudging of the Supreme Will, Mo Liushu had been thoroughly blinded, her heart completely immersed in Tang Qi, while her misunderstanding of Zhou Tong deepened, filled with hatred!
“Master, it won’t be long before you become my woman!”
Tang Qi greedily looked at Mo Liushu, and within his heart, genuine feelings began to arise.
On the day of his return, the Supreme Will had fortified his pact with Mo Liushu.
This pact was so strong that it could forcibly distort the mental states of both parties, leading to feelings developing over time.
It was also because of this that Tang Qi could more efficiently absorb Mo Liushu’s fortune to heal the ghostly curse of the mountain.
Once the curse was eliminated, he could regrow his spiritual root and completely possess Mo Liushu.
“Xiao Qi, I want you to ensure that Zhou Tong and that harlot Mu Ran Ya have no burial ground!”
“By his side,” Mo Liushu said in a low voice, seemingly filled with boundless resentment.
“Alright, I will do as you say!”
Tang Qi smiled indulgently, looking at the altar below, where a sinister gleam appeared in his eyes.
Everyone from the Jade Purity Sect was kneeling before a spirit tablet, upon which Zhou Tong’s name was prominently written.
This was a curse method—a nail-headed seven-arrow writing. These people aimed to make Zhou Tong die from kneeling!
Little did they know, Zhou Tong was currently hovering above Xuanhuang Mountain, taking everything into his sight.
“Everyone is gathered; let’s resolve this together!”
