Chapter 421: Chapter 364: Flame Demon King... Lin Ke?
The gods, their expressions unclear, sat in the third row on the stage.
The first two rows had fewer seats, adding up to only a hundred.
A hundred people, mainly the district leaders of Faser’s fifty regions, as well as the true decision-makers of the Fan Ye Party.
Unlike the local heads below, these district leaders and decision-makers come from various industries and professions.
These are the selected representatives of Faser.
For example, there are farmers who specialize in farming, an aunt selling roasted milk berries, ordinary employees of the city hall, powerful mages or magic pattern users...
In short, these Faser representatives are randomly selected to attend the Faser five-year planning conference held every five years.
Of course, this does not include the divine beings.
Or rather, those above level fifteen are not selected into this.
This is a rule set for the fundamental interests of the Fan Ye Party.
People from various fields, even ordinary people, can sit on the stage, overlooking the local heads of city halls below.
This made everyone feel the superiority of the Fan Ye Party at one time.
In the past, those who held the right to speak were often those who wielded great power.
They didn’t understand the needs of the lower masses, resulting in either being replaced by new privileges or being overthrown.
If the power is truly formidable, unable to be replaced or overthrown.
This could also lead to a situation where the entire world becomes stagnant, without any development, with the same food, drinks, entertainment, and products persisting for ten thousand years.
The lower masses become numb, and the upper-level privilege indulgence mode thus becomes fixed.
Therefore, many times only change and flow are the fundamentals of world development.
The Faser five-year plan of the Fan Ye Party is no different, meeting every five years.
In this meeting, the plan of the past five years is to be evaluated and sorted out, and then the development for the next five years is to be planned and adjusted.
Great wisdom!
Whether it’s the eternal Sky God or the ancient and powerful mages, everyone is amazed by Buck’s wisdom!
What advanced ideological concept this is!
Therefore, almost all Faser people hold immense respect and reverence for Flame Demon King Buck.
Especially after Buck stated, "I don’t need faith, the people should believe in themselves." The respect almost turned into fervent worship.
And today, after the high-ranking members of the Fan Ye Party took their seats, finally, that figure slowly entered the venue.
The figure was quite tall, but not as strong and stout as expected.
And the way he appeared on the big screen stunned many people.
"Impossible!"
"Huh? How could Count Linke sit on the stage?"
"Isn’t the central position supposed to belong to Buck?"
Below, the minotaurs from Naseng all widened their eyes.
They hadn’t paid much attention to Lin Ke before; after all, even though each one reached star level, coming to such a venue for thousands of people was still quite nerve-wracking.
Now, look, Lin Ke actually walked onto the stage!
Moreover, Lin Ke wasn’t finding just any seat to sit; he walked straight to the empty position between Bai Bing and Andor.
He sat down with ease, while beside him, Bai Bing, Andor, the madwoman, the sinister man, and others all remained silent, their expressions unchanged.
The local heads did not speak, nor did their expressions change.
But applause broke out.
And in this applause, the people from Naseng and gods on the stage realized.
Flame Demon King Buck... is actually Lord of the Great Wilderness Lin Ke?!
"How could it be?!"
"Oh my, the forces supported by Count Linke turn out to be himself!"
The Minotaurs, Lizardmen, and other humans of the Gula Kingdom from Naseng were dumbfounded!
And the gods on the stage were likewise in shock, unease, anger, regret...
All sorts of emotions tangled together, extremely complex.
"We signed a contract with the great wilderness lord to let Buck rule the human world for a hundred years..."
"The great wilderness lord is the Flame Demon King Buck..."
"This means..."
On thinking deeply about it, it’s terrifying!
They signed a divine power contract; violating it would lead to a backlash, resulting directly in their downfall, as the divine power contract is the Moon Goddess’s divine power, the mighty dominator of Naseng.
But if they don’t violate it... giving that Lord of the Great Wilderness a hundred years, Faser might be completely emptied!
At this moment, they can only hope that the Lord of the Great Wilderness would be benevolent.
Even the Sky God felt a burst of helplessness.
The Sky God, who existed since the early days of Faser’s birth, cannot contend with a mere, ordinary lord of Naseng.
It truly made the gods despondent.
Of course, if He knew Lin Ke’s past life, a group of exiled robbers, bandits, and thieves ultimately massacred an entire continent’s people and became a beacon, He wouldn’t be surprised.
The Sky God is akin to a non-chieftain, whereas Lin Ke is more like an advanced Western European small country possessing core power and technology.
This is the result of the crushing difference brought about by a plane’s core.
Below, the heads of Faser’s city halls had long received the news, as had Andor and Bai Bing and others.
They too took a long time to digest and accept the fact that Buck transformed into Lin Ke of the same essence.
At that time, Andor also suddenly realized, no wonder Buck was unknown before the arrival of the extraterrestrial visitors, and then suddenly emerged from a corner.
It turns out that the Flame Demon King was the lord of the Great Wilderness!
No one felt the slightest dissatisfaction; they knew Lin Ke had his reasons for doing so.
If he appeared as the lord of the Great Wilderness, many would certainly not listen to him, repelled.
But with the identity as Faser’s Buck, people would feel close.
And ultimately, Lin Ke helped drive away the extraterrestrial visitors from Naseng, ushering Faser into an unprecedented new historical period.
They only feel fortunate to have such a good leader.
At the same time, they feel joyful.
The Buck they followed from a minor secondary plane transformed into a powerful lord of the main plane, which is simply joyous!
And Lin Ke...
After sitting down, he gently cleared his throat, and the audience fell silent.
Lin Ke looked at the dense crowd that seemed to have no end, feeling a bit bewildered.
Previously, the marvels outside of the Great Wilderness City should have disconnected him from the memories of his past life.
For instance, the wonders outside the Great Wilderness City—the Great Library—that stood over four hundred meters tall, like a massive mountain.
But seeing this Flame Demon Grand Hall now, Lin Ke still felt somewhat moved.
Even with the advancement of technology in the past life, it was hard to create such a magnificent structure.
Perhaps, in this life, he could reach new heights by harnessing the power of magic and technology.
Thinking of this, Lin Ke slowly began to speak: "I come from Naseng, from the human race of the Gula Kingdom, born into a viscount family on the border..."
