Chapter 322: Chapter 272: The New Guardian Gods of Dongli Kingdom

Su Ze pulled Mr. Ya over. The two of them let the green light of evolution shine from their bodies and took a selfie together, which they sent to the group chat.

[Ning Yushen: Photoshopped. I don’t believe it!]

He said that, but Ning Yushen knew Gu Chengguang wasn’t one to joke around. Since he had pulled both Su Ze and Mr. Ya into the group chat, it meant the news was almost certainly true!

Ignoring Ning Yushen’s various exclamations and questions in the group chat, the group put down their phones and started talking business.

Gu Chengguang asked, "What are the two of you planning to do now? Do you want to take on any official positions in Dongli?"

These Dongli Overlords all held specific positions. Gu Chengguang was the President of the Li Min Association. Zhou Wenshan was the President of Dongli University and also oversaw the Dongli Kingdom’s education department. Li Fayi and Ning Yushen were both Generals in the military, with one in charge of the army and the other responsible for the navy.

Even Mrs. Yun, the newest Saint-level, was now in charge of Dongli’s intelligence work.

Su Ze and Mr. Ya shook their heads in unison. Neither of them wanted to deal with such responsibilities.

"Even though we’ve reached the Saint-level, we’re still young and lack experience. I’m afraid we’re not fit for such great responsibility," Su Ze said, trying to get out of it.

He just wanted to increase his strength as quickly as possible. He didn’t have the time or energy for this kind of thing.

’You’d better not short me on any of the benefits of being a Dongli Guardian God, but I don’t want to do any of the work...’ That was what Su Ze was thinking.

Of course, if a fight was needed, he would still step up.

Gu Chengguang also supported Su Ze and Mr. Ya’s decision. In his opinion, their potential was limitless, especially Su Ze. An eighteen-year-old Overlord was simply terrifying!

They had bright futures ahead of them and should focus all their energy on increasing their strength. Bothering with other trivial matters would only waste their talent.

Gu Chengguang knew that Su Ze was different from them. The rest of the Dongli Overlords had all reached the Saint-level at an old age, with little potential left. The Overlord realm was practically their limit.

That was why they were willing to dedicate the rest of their lives to this country, to this land.

But for Su Ze, Dongli was too small.

"In that case, you two can take on nominal posts at the Li Min Association for now. However, I’ll raise your clearance and rank to S-class, giving you the highest authority, same as us. You’ll also enjoy the same benefits as the other Guardian Gods... Of course," Gu Chengguang said, "your base salary will be a bit lower."

Su Ze and Mr. Ya nodded repeatedly, showing they understood. After all, they weren’t going to be doing any work.

Besides, with their wealth, they wouldn’t care about that kind of pocket change anyway.

Gu Chengguang continued, "Becoming a Dongli Guardian God comes with a one-time reward of 10 million contribution points. We also need to announce the birth of new Guardian Gods to all of Dongli. This helps improve the public’s sense of security and well-being, and we’ll need your cooperation for that."

Su Ze knew about this. Not long ago, after Mrs. Yun became a Saint, she had gone through all the same procedures, traveling across the country for over a month to attend various events.

However, he shook his head and said, "President, Mr. Ya and I might have to go out of town for a while to handle some personal matters. I’m afraid we won’t have time to cooperate with the publicity campaign."

Gu Chengguang nodded. "Then at least do one interview with Dongli TV Station."

"Okay," Su Ze agreed immediately.

"Su Ze," Zhou Wenshan suddenly interjected, "are you still planning to go to the Sovereign Country?"

They all knew that the Sovereign Country had extended an olive branch to Su Ze before. Those major families, including the government of Lin Hua Country, were all interested in recruiting him.

Su Ze shook his head. "I’m not considering it for now."

Gu Chengguang and Zhou Wenshan exchanged a look. They knew Su Ze’s decision not to go to the Sovereign Country might be related to *that* incident.

The matter of the "alien invasion" had implications that were too vast. Gu Chengguang and Zhou Wenshan hadn’t even told the other Dongli Guardian Gods about it.

Mrs. Yun had learned some inside information from Liou Wenxin. As for Li Fayi and Ning Yushen, they were still completely in the dark.

After a long silence, Gu Chengguang suddenly said, "Before, we were content to rest in the shade of a large tree. But from now on, we must become that large tree ourselves!"

...

When the news that Su Ze and Mr. Ya had become Saint-level Overlords hit the headlines in the Dongli Kingdom, the entire nation was thrown into an uproar!

Su Ze had always been a star in Dongli, regarded by the people as a future Guardian God.

No one doubted that he would one day become a Saint-level Overlord and a Guardian God of the Dongli Kingdom.

But for him to reach that position at the age of eighteen still made everyone’s jaws drop.

In an instant, Su Ze’s popularity in Dongli reached its peak. His legion of fan girls expanded even further, and he even gained many "uncle fans" and "mom fans."

Mr. Ya also had his moment in the spotlight.

He had kept a low profile for so long after arriving in Dongli. Even his outstanding performance in the Divine Dice had only brought him to the attention of various countries’ upper echelons; the common people still barely knew who he was.

Furthermore, because Mr. Ya was from Luofan, many people in Dongli were naturally resistant and hostile toward him.

However, after he became a Saint-level powerhouse, the Dongli government launched a massive PR campaign for him. They framed his story: a genius who was suppressed at every turn in Luofan came to Dongli, received proper care, and ultimately soared to the heavens to become a Saint-level powerhouse.

In return, he was willing to repay Dongli’s kindness by choosing to stay and serve as a Guardian God.

With this image established, Mr. Ya instantly gained countless fans, finally earning the complete acceptance and respect of the people of Dongli.

When the news that Dongli had gained two more Guardian Gods spread beyond its borders, it sparked heated discussions in the other five nations as well.

Previously, Dongli had been the weakest of the six nations, with the fewest Saint-level Overlords and the smallest territory.
