Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chiyoshima Hitomi stopped in her tracks, looking at Jiang Chen. She really didn't want to have anything to do with him and said coldly, "Why are you following me? You now have the qualifications to be upgraded to the Position of the Divine Envoy."

Jiang Chen laughed. "I have absolutely no interest in the Position of the Divine Envoy."

"Then what's your purpose in doing this?"

"Just to make my face known among the people."

Chiyoshima Hitomi wore a look of disbelief. What a bunch of nonsense! Just to make my face known?

Chiyoshima Hitomi couldn't fathom Jiang Chen's purpose. Was it just for the rewards? She truly couldn't guess his thoughts.

Jiang Chen indeed had no interest in power, but that didn't mean others weren't. For example, Sister Jiang Qiu from the Dark Legion.

The status of a Divine Envoy was transcendent. If Jiang Qiu could become one, that would naturally be good. After all, being a Divine Envoy wasn't as dangerous as being a Hero, nor did one need to fear assassination by a Hero.

Jiang Chen smiled. "You should believe me; I am very sincere."

"Sincere my foot. Let's contact each other less in the future. Better yet, hopefully never again."

Chiyoshima Hitomi turned and left.

Jiang Chen chuckled. This woman... So I made her kill Chuanteng Sanlang. What's such a big deal?

"Jiang Chen, do you have time for a drink?"

A burly man stood behind Jiang Chen, smiling faintly. This man was none other than Long Zhantian, Black Phoenix's father, and the Envoy of Judgement.

Jiang Chen turned around and looked at Long Zhantian, the corners of his mouth lifting in a smile. "You are the Envoy of Judgement, sir. An invitation from Sir Divine Envoy? I certainly wouldn't refuse."

Long Zhantian nodded. "I originally thought you were like Little Phoenix, that girl, but now it seems you've matured a lot more than her."

"Little Phoenix?"

"Ah... that's Black Phoenix."

"Isn't her surname Black?"

Long Zhantian was speechless.

"Her real name is Long Tianfeng, but she goes by Black Phoenix."

"Sorry."

"No matter. Let's go have a drink."

「Inside a private room.」

Long Zhantian was smoking, offering Jiang Chen one as well. Jiang Chen accepted and lit it, quietly smoking. Long Zhantian hadn't asked him here just for a simple drink.

Long Zhantian was the first to speak. "Do you want to become a Divine Envoy?"

"Is there a problem?"

"There's no problem with that. If you want to become a Divine Envoy, you'll have to take it step by step. Haste won't get you anywhere, and one needs enough qualifications. Plus, you haven't reached the First-stage yet. Only after you do can you qualify."

Jiang Chen nodded. "I understand that."

"Actually, being a Divine Envoy has its advantages as well as disadvantages."

"I'd like to hear the details."

"The advantage is that you hold a transcendent status and there's no danger, which I suppose you already know. So let's talk about the disadvantages: after becoming a Divine Envoy, you won't have time to cultivate, and your Level will increase very slowly."

Jiang Chen nodded. This is like working for the government. You're a civil servant now, enjoying the state's benefits, allowances, and various treatments. But you can't start your own business. Being a Divine Envoy is essentially a job for the retirement days; you can't line your own pockets or involve yourself in private feuds. Basically, being a Divine Envoy has its pros and cons, but all in all, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. No wonder so many people on Blue Star want to be civil servants. Even if they have to fight tooth and nail to get in—after all, it's a career for retirement. With a steady rise in status, power increases as well.

Long Zhantian continued, "If you want to become a Divine Envoy, after you reach the First-stage, I can arrange it for you. But I think it would be a pity for you to become a Divine Envoy."

"You are strong; there's no need to get involved. Divine Envoys are entangled in conflicts of interest."

Long Zhantian went on to say, "Apart from being a Divine Envoy, you can also be an Angel Envoy or an Envoy of Order. These are also choices you have, not just one."

"What's an Angel Envoy?"

"An Angel Envoy is also a Divine Envoy, but they don't get involved in anything. They're equivalent to the ones who kill the Demon King. Wherever a disaster occurs, that's where an Angel Envoy steps in."

"Order is about maintaining world peace, also acting like a Divine Envoy, serving essentially as a supervisor for the Divine Envoys and possessing a certain level of authority."

So, a Divine Envoy is like a civil servant, an Angel Envoy is like the police, and Order is like the prosecutor's office. That makes sense. Then which position holds the most power? Naturally, it's Order. The prosecutor's office has the most power.

The Envoy of Judgement is equivalent to Order, and Long Zhantian is one! Big brother, so you're the real big shot! Jiang Chen really wanted to hug Long Zhantian.

Long Zhantian said, "You need to be careful with the people from the Chuanteng Clan. They failed this time and even lost a Divine Envoy and a Reserve Divine Envoy. This is very dangerous for you."

"It shouldn't be. I'm the one who avenged the Chuanteng Clan's Divine Envoy. How could they possibly act against me?"

Long Zhantian laughed. "Ordinary people might think there's nothing secretive about it, but a clever person only needs to think for a moment to understand."

"Don't assume others are fools. Just like Chiyoshima Hitomi was manipulated, in their scheme, you were already supposed to be dead, Chiyoshima Hitomi stripped of her position, and Chuanteng Qilang would have taken her place."

Chuanteng Sanlang was killed by the Demon King, and Jiang Chen killed the Demon King to avenge him. That seemed perfectly normal. However, perceptive individuals would notice something: if even Chuanteng Sanlang was no match for the Demon King, how did Jiang Chen manage to kill it? This would lead them to wonder: could Jiang Chen have taken out both the Divine Envoy *and* the Demon King? After all, the Chuanteng Clan has been coveting the Position of the Divine Envoy.

Long Zhantian continued, "But you are strong enough. You've not only joined forces with Chiyoshima Hitomi, but you've also gained control over her. You have a promising future."

Long Zhantian only wanted to say one thing: Young man, I have high hopes for you...

It's different when you talk to the Envoy of Judgement; they can see right through you. Is this what they call the ability to see further from a higher standpoint?

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "You're wrong about one thing; I can't control Chiyoshima Hitomi."

"Perhaps not now, but you definitely will in the future."

"Why are you so certain?"

"She needs something from you."

Jiang Chen was even more astonished. This woman, ever since killing Chuanteng Sanlang, has had a strong grudge against me; she doesn't even want to speak to me.

In Chiyoshima Hitomi's heart, even if a Divine Envoy erred, she would not kill them. The Divine Envoy's status was transcendent, symbolizing honor, and honor was of utmost importance to her.

To Chiyoshima Hitomi, in modern terms, she's like the police. Seeing a civilian kill a 'police officer'—whether good or bad, they are still Divine Envoys—how could Jiang Chen execute one?

Moreover, Jiang Chen forced her to act, which Chiyoshima Hitomi found even more unacceptable. She finally agreed because she saw the murderous intent in Jiang Chen's eyes.

This was also the reason Jiang Chen did not kill Chiyoshima Hitomi. She was being used and was obviously not a scheming person.

The last thing Jiang Chen wanted was to deal with someone who had ulterior motives.

Jiang Chen, puzzled, said, "I think you're wrong. She would never ask me for help."

"She will. Within ten days, she will definitely seek your help. Otherwise, how about we make a bet?"

"What are we betting on?"

"Regardless of who wins or loses, if your friends want to become Divine Envoys in the future, I will do my best to arrange it. If I lose, just help me keep an eye on Black Phoenix; she's a bit impulsive."

Indeed, this is incredible! Regardless of winning or losing, I benefit. This is a guaranteed win!

Jiang Chen smiled. "Uncle Long, you've got one thing wrong. Black Phoenix and I are friends—now and in the future too."

Long Zhantian nodded. "Hmm, I was like you all once, young and full of vigor too."

How can one be called young if not full of spirit! Brother Long, you're out of touch.

The two didn't talk much more, and Long Zhantian left.

But a question lingered in Jiang Chen's mind. The Chuanteng Clan already had two Divine Envoys. With a third, wouldn't that be three? A single family's dominance is not what anyone wants to see. So, is it possible that Long Zhantian is also scheming, not wanting the Chuanteng Clan to grow stronger? Uh... Thinking this way, I seem to understand something! This is about a conflict of interests. Why did Long Zhantian assign Chiyoshima Hitomi the task of killing Demon King Beckley to complete her mission and claim the Position of the Divine Envoy? Perhaps it was to make the Chuanteng Clan and the Chiyoshima Family fight. No matter the final outcome, both families would suffer, and it would have nothing to do with the Dragon Zone Union. Hmm. It seems that's exactly it.
