Chapter 546 - Letting the Dust Settle (2/2)

This meant that if the other party did not perform well, he could be ousted at any time. They would not have to worry that a situation they were incapable of turning around would occur.

Disasters and fortune have always been interdependent, and good and bad luck always came together. A powerhouse leader was a good thing, but it was also a bad thing. Once the powerhouse could no longer be controlled, the entire clan may be led towards their demise.

They had heard of many legends in the Upper Realm where several strong and influential clans in the Upper Realm perished in that way. Some were treated as cultivation offerings by the powerhouses, and some provoked a stronger powerhouse, leading to the crisis of the extermination of the entire clan.

“I suggest that Chief Bai be our new King!” A Greater Rat supporter, seeing that the mood of the people was starting to brew, he might as well start to persuade and try to snatch the first contribution. When things blew over, he would be able to obtain more cultivation resources.

It was impossible not to arrange for supporters. The feelings of the public were blind, so without additional guidance, it would be hard to transform it to his own advantage. Everyone knew the importance of publicity.

“That’s right, Chief Bai is the most familiar with daily operations. If he’s king, then he can at least ensure a smooth transition.”

“Yeah, yesterday’s blackout was easily solved by Chief Bai. That really proved his capabilities!”

“Chief Bai is selfless, dedicated to the public, and works overtime every day. He’s a role model for countless people. He’s so hardworking, so why can’t we choose him to become the King?”

“That- but he doesn’t even have the strength to truss a chicken. Although he used to be a cultivation genius, he’s a cripple now. If he becomes King, won’t the other races laugh till their teeth drop if they find out?” Some ‘non-supporters’ sharply pointed out the problem.

“Yeah, the races will compete with each other in the future. There’ll be matters involving kings and other kings as well. If…” Some independently thinking Greater Rats shook their heads when they thought of that.

If Bai Shixin kept getting defeated by the leaders of small clans, no matter how proficient he was in planning, he could not be the head. It was too humiliating!

This was not a trivial point. If the leader of a clan was not strong enough and was constantly beaten around by others, the clan’s mind would definitely fall apart, and they would be looked down upon by all kinds of ridicule.

That feeling was definitely something unpleasant.

Therefore, while the supporters Bai Shixin arranged began to gain momentum, they encountered this unavoidable problem.

At this time, some elite Greater Rats began to voice their support, “So what if he’s a cultivation cripple? We’re not lacking in cultivation geniuses now. What we lack is a person who can keep our system running. All we need to do is just equip the new king with a few more bodyguards.”

“That’s right, if an invincible person were to rise in power, he might be able to gain face in foreign affairs, but would he be able to manage such a complex situation?” The supporting rats quickly began to ask, eliminating other candidates.

“Yeah, that’ll be tough. Look at that so-called official successor over there. If you leave it to him, would he know how to read the daily supply and demand chart, regulate supply and demand, and ensure the Greater Rats’ steady development?”

“I still think we should let a powerhouse come into power who at least can fight back against that Arctic Wolf. After all, we can’t be asking this nobility to help us ‘everyday right? We probably can’t afford that.” Someone said lowly.

After the great green insect appeared, it just spoke one sentence and started eating without stopping. No one knew when it would finish eating. It was a question that probably only the Heavens had the answer to.

The Square was immediately plunged into a huge debate, each with their own arguments.

Bai Shifu looked at Bai Shixin, who was still standing still, and could not resist asking telepathically, “Brother, you have a superb spiritual skill. You just used it yesterday to give the announcement to the entire city. It’s just that the Greater Rats are ignorant and don’t know how amazing it is. Why don’t you demonstrate it again?”

“No,” Bai Shixin already changed his mind. He softly said, “I have a new idea now. I’ll be the new Greater Rat King with the background of a cultivator cripple.”

“You want to leave it as your trump card?”

“You can say that. This spiritual skill I’m cultivating is too partial and is easily targeted. Only if I have an extremely strong physical body as aid would I be able to reach the realm of perfection. Unfortunately, I can reach this condition, but I don’t have the opportunity to cultivate that book.” Bai Shixin shook his head.

“I see, Brother, you really do have a plan for everything. With you as King, everything else will be a cinch.” Bai Shifu watched the public opinion slowly change directions and began to humble himself and flatter Bai Shixin.
