1294: Chapter 733: Appointing as the Grand ntor?
But Gu Hang had no choice but to co.
Faced with this situation where he ca, yet dragged things out without giving a clear answer, he felt helpless; he was angry, but there was nothing he could do.
He could only exert effort in various other directions, hoping to make everything proceed a little faster.
Yet, he couldn’t express these emotions, and could only maintain an appearance of calm.
Walls have ears.
His spiritual power allowed him to keenly sense that there were always many Imperial Spies around him, monitoring him constantly, keeping an eye on his family, and also observing the nurous important figures from the Alliance that he brought along.
The surveillance on others was slightly lighter, but the monitoring on Gu Hang was particularly severe.
According to Gu Hang’s spiritual power, he could easily eliminate all those spies.
But obviously, Gu Hang would not do that.
On the contrary, he openly displayed his life on Holy Terra, his working status, even including the content of his communications with the Alliance’s holand and his guidance on the holand’s work.
He was displaying his harmlessness without reservation, to increase the favor of the Empire’s high officials toward him.
Of course, there were still so genuine secrets that could not be revealed.
But Gu Hang had already instructed the holand of the Alliance beforehand, that during his ti on Holy Terra, everything would be independently decided by the ‘triumvirate’ structure ford by Osenia, Tadeusz, and Lambert.
He had so special psychic techniques to bypass the surveillance and contact the holand of the Alliance.
But there was no need to do so.
As long as people noticed that he was using so special psychic techniques, even if the Empire couldn’t trace it, it would increase suspicion.
Since he was here, everything should be about being honest.
However, the tree desires calm, but the wind does not stop.
The Central Empire’s administrative speed was slow—or perhaps they were deliberately leaving him to dry, handling things coldly.
But there were those impatient, eager to et him, and establish connections.
That was the Imperial Psychic Association.
The current chief grandmaster of the Psychic Association visited personally.
Gu Hang t him openly, allowing the eyes to probe.
…
Dou Zhao was already very old now.
Including the rejuvenation surgeries that the Empire’s nobility could access for years, he was now three hundred and forty-nine years old, theoretically with a few more years to live.
But not to him.
Normally, a person usually has five opportunities for rejuvenation surgery, and a lifespan of five hundred years is the limit.
But he had already used up all five rejuvenation surgeries.
Now, he could clearly feel that his ti was running out.
Because he was a Grade S Psychic.
For most people, having a psychic gift and gaining stable control over it through proper training is considered a blessing.
Psychic energy is a powerful force, and mastering it well can change one’s destiny.
However, no one can deny the destructive effect of psychic energy on the human body and soul.
The constant whispers of the Subspace, the harm to the body when releasing psychic energy, the gradual change in personality, and the shortening of lifespan…
Originally, after five rejuvenation surgeries, Dou Zhao could stretch his lifespan to five hundred years, but he could clearly feel now that he wouldn’t live past his three hundred and sixtieth birthday.
That ant he only had eleven years left.
But he had no regrets.
If he hadn’t mastered psychic energy, how could he have risen from the status of an ordinary company employee’s son to beco one of the top figures in the Empire?
The president of the Psychic Association, a Grade S Psychic…
Without these identities, he wouldn’t even be qualified for one rejuvenation surgery, and he’d be nothing but bones by now.
And to this day…
“I have nothing much to hold on to anymore.” Dou Zhao, sitting in front of Gu Hang, said very calmly, “If the Emperor summons , I should go.
But before I go, I always want to leave sothing behind for the place I have struggled for three hundred years.”
“What exactly does the Psychic Association need?”
“I have thought it over and over again, thinking that the Psychic Association needs a strong enough leader who can truly unite countless psychics.”
“This person, besides you, I can’t think of another candidate.”
“So, accept my invitation, Mr.
Gu.
You shall be the next chief grandmaster of the Psychic Association.”
“This is not only my decision but also unanimously determined by the nine grandmasters of the Association.”
Gu Hang pondered for a while.
This Dou Zhao was the current highest leader of the Psychic Association, the chief grandmaster.
Before Dou Zhao visited and stated his intentions, Gu Hang had already roughly guessed his purpose.
But he was still sowhat surprised by the Psychic Association’s eagerness, coming so directly.
At the sa ti, he was worried whether there were other pitfalls in this matter.
He cautiously asked, “I am neither a psychic from the Psychic Association nor have I ever contributed to the Association; what virtue and ability do I have…?”
First, decline a bit to see what the matter is.
Dou Zhao slightly shook his head and said, “This has nothing to do with whether you’ve contributed to the Psychic Association, only with your strength.
Your spiritual power, beyond everyone’s imagination.
The so-called S-Class, S level, or even Alpha-level, which humans cannot stabilize and control, can’t judge your intensity.
Such a great psychic force, in the entire history of the Empire, is…
extrely rare.”
Originally, Dou Zhao wanted to say ‘second only to the Emperor,’ but in the end, he felt it was inappropriate and swallowed it back.
He shifted the topic: “Besides, as long as you beco the chief grandmaster, why worry about no contributions?
In the future, you will have plenty of opportunities to contribute to the Psychic Association.
At the sa ti, the Psychic Association will also be your assistance.”
Even after speaking to this extent, Gu Hang still slightly shook his head: “This matter is still too sudden, and it’s too significant; please allow so ti to think about it.”
“I understand.” Dou Zhao stood up, “But before that, could you visit the Psychic Association?
We have a dedicated venue where you can freely unleash your power.
Let us witness it; so young ones don’t understand the greatness of psychic forces, and they need to broaden their horizons.
So outsiders also need to see.”
At this point, he added, “Maybe this could also help with your current predicant.”
Gu Hang’s heart stirred, roughly understanding the other’s aning.
But he was still cautious not to agree straight away, saying he would think about it, but would inform the Psychic Association of his decision before tomorrow’s sunset.
After politely seeing Dou Zhao off, Gu Hang imdiately summoned Salihoovich.
Likewise, without hiding from the observers.
Having told Salihoovich, the ambassador stationed in Terra, about the Psychic Association’s ideas, Salihoovich was sowhat surprised.
“During my ti here, they never contacted .
For such a big matter, it’s really sudden…”
He sighed and continued, “However, it aligns with the characteristics of those Spiritual Masters, I suppose.”
“What do you an?” asked Gu Hang.
“Self-important, arrogant, looking down on others; yet downcast, without actual power, often manipulated by others, swallowing their grievances; the more so, the more they have to maintain that arrogance, to show value…”
Gu Hang was quite amazed: “I didn’t feel they were particularly arrogant or proud.
Mr.
Dou was quite amiable and sincere, wasn’t he?”
“That’s because he was facing you, Your Excellency the Governor.”
At this point, Salihoovich began to explain the history and current state of the Psychic Association to Gu Hang.
Having listened, Gu Hang roughly understood what Salihoovich had said earlier.
The Psychic Association is an institution established by the Empire to oversee all psychics within the Empire’s territory.
Its highest leader, the chief grandmaster, even has the qualification to be selected as a High Lord.
This is the source of their arrogance.
However, if they were indeed that powerful, there wouldn’t be those subsequent descriptions.
