"?!!!"
That's right!
Upon hearing Leon's words, the Scorpio director couldn't help but light up and quickly looked up towards the Cleaner Bureau Director. However...
"It's not possible."
After glancing at Leon, who was not choosing to "give up" even in this dire situation but was still trying to find a solution, the Cleaner Bureau Director's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, then he shook his head slightly and said:
"In fact, those who have encountered similar situations on the Old Soil in the past have tried this thod. But the ti I'm in is different from the present, and in the ti I'm in now, you are people of the 'future.'
And the Star Palace that descends the crown is also on your side, in the sa ti as you. So how can I, a person existing in the 'past,' use the 'future' Star Palace to designate soone I can only et in the future as the successor of the director?"
"..."
It seems indeed not possible...
After hearing the Cleaner Bureau Director's words, the anticipation in the eyes of the Scorpio director imdiately waned, and the few directors who were aware of this also sighed in their hearts.
However, just as the Cleaner Bureau Director smiled and prepared to leave a few "last words," Leon, across from him, pondered for a mont before asking again:
"Director, since you have given the position to , which has beco an irreversible established fact, can we reverse it and make use of this ti that is bound to arrive?"
Reverse the use of ti?
Upon hearing this, the Cleaner Bureau Director was montarily stunned, then frowned and sternly warned:
"Aquarius, I appreciate your good intentions, but you must know that ti is sothing that absolutely cannot be casually touched, and the thought of utilizing ti should never occur!
There's a saying on the Old Soil that has spread widely—those who take ti lightly will inevitably beco puppets of ti, and any plan that attempts to use ti to achieve goals might succeed once or twice, but ultimately it will be discovered that your plan itself is part of ti.
The Pillar Gods dare to use ti because the Old King exists in the past, and if they notice sothing wrong, they can withdraw. But even so, they have still been punished by ti.
And you, without the ability to rewind ti, if you recklessly choose to manipulate ti, you might end up forever trapped in a closed loop of ti, which is a punishnt far more terrifying than death!"
"I understand."
Recalling the circumstances of the rmaid Beauty and the Abyssal Realm, Leon nodded in deep agreent, then gazed at the Cleaner Bureau Director and said:
"Ti cannot be taken lightly, but when I talk about utilizing ti, I an not manipulating the past like the Pillar Gods to create a future beneficial for ourselves, but rather influencing ti indirectly by changing ourselves."
Change oneself?
"What do you an?"
The Scorpio director, not the brightest among the directors, was sowhat puzzled and couldn't help but ask:
"How do you change yourself? Can you say it more plainly?"
"To put it plainly...it ans the Director should completely abandon the idea of giving up the position to , no matter what."
Raising a hand to touch the non-existent phantom crown above his head, Leon said calmly:
"This is how I see it: if the future cannot be changed, then we might as well adopt a different approach and not resist that future, but rather delay as much as possible the arrival of that future."
"?!!!"
Hearing this, the other directors suddenly understood. The Cancer director couldn't help but take a deep breath, full of shock, and said:
"Do you an..."
"I an, the Director's act of giving this position can be considered as a mission he must complete before his death."
Pointing to the crown above his own head, Leon opened his eyes that were reflected with the shining light of the crown and asked seriously:
"So, if you think about it in reverse, since the Director has not completed such a task yet, does that an until he returns to the sa tiline as and willingly gives up the position, no matter what danger he encounters, he certainly won't die?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Can it really be like this?!!!
After hearing Leon's proposed solution, the directors couldn't help but look at each other, seeing the heavy surprise and joy on each other's faces.
That's right! The future has already been destined, but no one has specified when that future will arrive! As long as the Director holds on and doesn't give up the position, and delays the arrival of that future indefinitely, does it an he will never face an inevitable fatal situation?
"Actually, it might not be so great."
Breaking out of the ecstatic joy of a "narrow escape," the Cleaner Bureau Director, whose face was slightly flushed, shook his head and analyzed rationally:
"Although I should not die before giving up the position, it doesn't an that I won't get injured or be imprisoned, and if soone finds a way to control to give up the position, then this protection is essentially useless."
"That's not it!"
Finally understanding Leon's aning, the Scorpio Director couldn't help but slap a thigh, then said excitedly:
"Who would miss the chance to finish you off when they have it, only to control you to give the position to Aquarius! No one would do such a thing! You… oh my! Your life is indeed saved this ti!"
Indeed, my life might really be saved.
Upon hearing the words of the Scorpio Director, the forcibly solemn face of the Cleaner Bureau Director finally couldn't help but reveal a smile.
The other directors' opinions seed correct; Aquarius really is soone to be expected!
After dignifiedly nodding to Leon, who had found the only possible solution, giving himself a glimr of hope, the gloom in the Cleaner Bureau Director's heart from being so harshly pressured by Taurus instantly cleared, and his face broke into an enthusiastic smile.
Cancer was right, compared to the hope of the Old Soil, it seems that the hope of this "local soil" is more delectable... No wonder Joan and the others valued him so much, this young man is indeed remarkable! If the future Cleaner Bureau is handed over to him, it seems very promising!
Ugh, previously when Leon opposed you, your face was drooping, but now you're smiling like an old chrysanthemum...
The situation turned around due to Leon's insight, with the Cleaner Bureau Director, previously dood, regaining hope. The taut nerves of the Taurus Director inevitably relaxed.
Giving a disdainful glance at the exuberantly happy Cleaner Bureau Director, the Taurus Director spoke to usher him out:
"Alright, since you have hope now, hurry back! There's no more business for you here, go find your hope!"
"No rush, no rush."
Waving a hand at the Taurus Director, the Cleaner Bureau Director, now finding Leon more and more pleasing to the eye, couldn't help but approach, laughing rrily and praising:
"Truly worthy of the fastest-promoted Cleaner in a thousand years, I hadn't expected that even before our first eting, you would already have saved my life... By the way, my great-granddaughter is probably about your age this year, would you like to et her?"
