Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1301 - 385: [You!!]_2

Gu Qingyi felt helpless.

In fact, she understood even without the Saint explaining it.

Not to mention that the Heavenly Dao does not acknowledge it, not even the family genealogy can be rewritten!

Even when she uses the family secret technique, praying to her ancestor, the name Gu Qingyi that she chose for herself, even her ancestor does not recognize!

But... ask the Great Celestial Venerable to intervene and change destiny?

How easy is that?

Can the Great Celestial Venerable be summoned just because you ask?

"Alright, it’s a pitiful soul, get up and speak."

Gu Qingyi had mixed feelings in her heart, slowly stood up straight, but still dared not lift her head - according to the Domain Realm’s rules, one cannot directly offend the Saint’s visage with their gaze when meeting the Saint.

Moreover, the Saint’s body was enveloped in golden light, which made it unclear to see.

"Alright, you said there’s something to report, speak now."

Gu Qingyi immediately regained her spirits, recounting the situation at Snow Cliff Pass, detailing that after her great battle, Snow Cliff Pass suffered heavy losses, submitted documentation, requesting replenishment of military magical artifacts, various array materials, which were then cut by the Xiantai Battle Department...

After she finished speaking, the Saint above seemed to smile slightly.

"Indeed, the Gu Family girl is just like your ancestor, showing face to no one. Not to mention the matter itself, but do you not fear offending the head of the Li Family today with your behavior?

I am a Saint, but considering he is from the Li Family, and the Li Family has the Great Celestial Venerable above, I cannot casually replace him.

Today you lost face for him, do you not fear he will find trouble with you later?"

Gu Qingyi shook her head, her tone calm: "The Saint issued a decree, allowing matters to be reported directly. I am merely acting in accordance with the Saint’s decree."

Implying: is it not you who asks to report grievances? It’s clear you also know that complaining to the Emperor in front of one’s own boss will result in small reprisals later?

After pausing briefly, Gu Qingyi added: "I was already planning to submit my resignation, no longer serve as the Town General of Snow Cliff Pass, and return to the Prison Suppression Platform."

The Three Platforms, Eight Passes, and Sixteen Towns, although all claim to be the Domain Realm’s barrier against ’Evil.’

But truly speaking, the status of the Three Platforms is far superior to all the other Eight Passes and Sixteen Towns!

The Three Platforms are the frontline against the Red Tide, with the fiercest battles, greatest pressure, and highest importance.

Therefore, the Town Generals of the Three Platforms hold much more power than ordinary Department Halls of Immortal Platforms.

Their status is also extremely high.

Regarding the Three Platforms’ military affairs, even the three major heads have no power to meddle.

And the status of the Town Generals of the Three Platforms is so high that meeting even the three major heads, they are only half a level lower, treated no less than any other cabinet masters.

This may sound complex.

Just know this: Currently among the Xiantai’s three major heads, the Sword Master Han Head, before serving as head, once was one of the Three Platforms, the Town General of the Broken Dragon Platform!

Moreover, after resignation as Town General, she directly returned to Xiantai and served as Sword Master head!

Historically, in the Domain Realm’s Xiantai regulations, when the Sword Master head steps down, the successor is chosen from among the Town Generals of the Three Platforms!

Without Three Platforms Town General experience, one cannot assume the position!

It can be said, if one becomes a Town General of the Three Platforms, as long as they do not die on the frontline, they at least have a one-third chance of becoming one of the three giants of the Domain Immortal Platform in the future!

After a moment of silence, the Saint smiled again:

"Alright, if that’s the case, then I grant you permission, why not."

·

In the plaza outside the great hall, Palm Seal Head Li Zhiyan’s expression appeared calm, but his eyes were clouded with a shadow.

The Elder Situ, who headed the Ritual Law, seemed detached, with an air of divine travel.

Therefore, Li Zhiyan couldn’t help but glance at the Sword Master Han Head beside him.

"Han Head, this Gu Family girl is from your battle department; I only worry that she may speak rashly, offending the Saint’s ears..."

Han Head slightly pursed her lips in a smile, said lightly: "Palm Seal Master joking, the children below always find occasions to speak up when they’re dissatisfied, suppressing them all the time is never a solution."

"This Gu Family girl..."

Before Li Zhiyan could finish, Han Head said indifferently: "The noble families in the Western Border are unwilling to spend money; for the past half a year, countless of them have run to Xiantai seeking audience with you, crying poverty and selling misery. You’ve agreed with them and cut the war department’s budget.

The battle at Snow Cliff Pass was splendid, but once it ended, you cut their budget, naturally the children are unwilling."

Li Zhiyan’s expression remained unchanged, but his tone became more serious, slowly stating: "This matter we’ve debated twice, I’ve already explained it clearly with you.

I’m not discarding the bow and hiding the bird, intentionally cutting your war department’s funds!

Snow Cliff Pass guards the Western Border, historically the funds for the pass are provided by the noble families of the Western Border, we in Xiantai merely coordinate them transfer.

Having confronted the Fierce Beast Race for countless generations, the massive military expenses weighing on the noble families of the Western Border have long been a painful burden.

Now, finally defeating and crushing the Fierce Beast Race, gaining decades of peace.

The noble families of the Western Border merely wish to catch their breath, ease their burden for a few years. When a rope is tied too long, it always needs to loosen for a breath.

Local governance, construction, medical heavens, mountain opening, lake digging, and promoting the way of teaching, these all require money.

If after fighting hard for peace, everyone must tighten their belts and endure hardship, then what’s the point of this peace?

I agreed to the noble families of the Western Border’s joint appeal, not due to any interests with them, but..."

Han Head said lightly: "Palm Seal Head needn’t speak further, your ideals and mine differ, we’ve debated twice, I’ve not persuaded you, your arguments cannot persuasively move me either.
