In front of Master Valen's huge castle, there were all types of decorations, a small stage along with many varieties of food can be seen.

Master Valen, the 48 city masters and commanders of the Valen city were talking with one another.

Among those commanders, Henrick was also talking with the friendly city masters who were quite knowledgable about the other worlds and most of their discussions were about other worlds.

"Everyone, even though we won the war against the invaders, we still lost many of our soldiers. I, Master Valen, the city master of the Valen city, are very grateful to the parents who gave such great soldiers for the city."

Soon, Master Valen said some words about the soldiers who died in the war this morning.

"So, let's keep silent for a couple of minutes in the memory of those brave soldiers."

The entire place fell silent as everyone remained silent.

"After today, we should strive to become stronger. The things that happened today might happen in the future. So, I want every citizen to start cultivating their talent, there is no need to feel any shame because if you have even cultivation of energy condensation realm, you could help the city."

"As for your cultivation, every citizen will get one bug core that can help you. No one should sell it or give it to others."

After saying many lines, Master Valen signalled a few soldiers, who started distributing the bug cores to the citizens.

"There is another thing I want to announce to you today. I have chosen a successor for the city."

While the soldiers were continued to distribute the bug cores to the citizens, Master Valen continued to speak, "Commander Henrick, come onto the stage."

As soon as Master Valen finished his words, everyone looked at Henrick with weird looks because they could guess who the successor would be.

However, they didn't understand why Master Valen chose him as the successor.

'Me?'

As for Henrick, he was also shocked to hear those words because he can't become the successor of the city because he already has too much on his face.

He had to take care of Aecrath's portal.

He had to complete trials and increase his cultivation.

As soon as he reached the immortal realm, he had to take revenge on those who chased after him.

There were many things he had to do. So, he decided to reject Master Valen's offer.

With that thought in his mind, he walked onto the stage.

"Commander Henrick, do you accept the position of my successor?"

As soon as he walked onto the stage, Master Valen didn't waste any time as he directly asked whether he wanted to take it or not?

"Master Valen...the thing is…."

"There is no need to force yourself. If you don't like it, you don't need the position."

While Henrick stuttered to reject the offer, Master Valen asked him to just say his opinion.

"Master Valen, I…."

'Ding,

The participant is offered a potential position to become the ruler of the world named 'Glemoth'. Accepting the position will give extra rewards.

Just as he was about to finish his words, a system notification from the trial master rang in his head making Henrick frown.

'Trial master, if I become the successor, will it not hinder my activities of guarding the portal and completing the other trials?'

Henrick didn't want to accept the position just because of some extra rewards. He wanted to make sure that it would not hinder him from completing other things.

'Ding,

Don't worry about it participant. It will not hinder you too much.

However, the trial master didn't say it would not hinder him at all.

'What should I do? Should I accept it or reject it?'

Suddenly, Henrick fell into the dilemma of accepting the position of the successor to Valen city.

'Is he an idiot or what?'

'Why is he hesitating in accepting such a good position?'

'If I were him, I would have accepted it without thinking much.'

'I guess, he is just a fool.'

The youngsters of the Valen city who hid in the undergrounds when a huge war was going on outside the city started whispering to one another.

There were a couple of reasons why they said those words because they didn't like him.

Moreover, he was able to sleep with the number of the goddess of Valen city.

'It is a good position, Henrick. You can accept it as you can become the city master in the future.'

Suddenly, Henrick heard a melodious voice inside his head and the voice belonged to Grace.

He looked at Grace for a moment who was standing beside Captain Kale and revealed a bright smile on her face.

'Let it be. Since I can only get more cultivation resources and some extra rewards from the trial master, I will accept it.'

Finally, Henrick came to a decision and said, "I am willing to become the successor of the Valen city."

"Excellent."

Hearing those words, Master Valen revealed a slight smile as he said, "Everyone, you can eat and drink today."

'Woah'

"Congratulations, Master Valen."

Soon, the citizens that only eat special food once or twice a month became excited and congratulated Master Valen.

"As my successor, I will give you this thing."

Master Valen nodded his head to the excited citizens and looking at Henrick, he took out a small book from his storage ring and gave it to Henrick.

'Ding,

Item name:- 'Immortal sword slash' technique book.

Grade:- Rank 7 (Immortal grade)

Effect:- After learning this technique to the last stage, one can release a sword slash that can even kill the immortal realm cultivators.

'What?'

As soon as he took the small book into his hands, Henrick received the system notification and after learning the information on the book, Henrick's eyes widened and his hands shook a little.

'This is the immortal sword slash….'

Even though Master Valen noticed Henrick's reaction, he didn't think much about it as he explained about the technique recorded in the small book.

He didn't want to explain in the open in front of all the citizens and soldiers. So, he used the voice transmission to explain everything that Henrick needed to know about it.

'But Master Valen, how did you get an immortal grade cultivation technique?'

Henrick already knew about the sword technique. So, nodding his head, he asked the origins of the technique.

'I am not lucky when it comes to finding such good items. It is one of my brothers, you found it before we entered this world.'

Master Valen didn't hide anything and explained the origins of the sword cultivation technique book while pointing his fingers at one of the lean city masters.

'So, all the city masters have access to this technique?'

Henrick asked while looking at the lean city master who was the original owner of the cultivation book.

'Yes, and it will be only given to the successor of the 49 cities. So, I hope you will learn it and surpass the successors from the other 48 cities.'

They continued to talk through the voice transmissions as they didn't want others to hear it.
