Chapter 702: President of the Unity Society

After leaving the Throne Tower, Lin Feng did not rush to the Central Region.

There are still three days left, which is just enough time to take care of some things.

He stood in the square outside the spire, his thoughts drifting back to what he had talked about with Han Dang while drinking in Hanyue City yesterday.

After the two finished shopping, they ate on the top floor of a restaurant. After a few drinks, Han Dang became more talkative.

"By the way, Lord Lin, I am not very talented, but I also hold the title of Vice President of the Tongxin Association in the H5 District."

Han Dang swirled the wine glass in his hand, took a sip, and said casually, "We have an old rule in our H5 district: once the position of chairman is vacant, as long as a human in the district is promoted to a high-ranking apostle, he can directly take over the position."

After taking office, my main task is to manage the affairs between the various human lords and mediate conflicts.

Lin Feng paused with his chopsticks, his face remaining expressionless, but a slight thought stirred within him.

H5 District is the area ruled by Viscount Eternal Night.

But he didn't seem interested.

President of the Tongxin Association? Why would he want to be that?

He couldn't even be bothered with his own little plot of land, let alone have the time to concern himself with the trivial matters between other human lords.

Han Dang seemed to have anticipated his reaction and slowly added, "However, becoming the president isn't all bad."

The Tongxin Society's base has its own private rooms, and information left behind by past presidents can be read for free. More importantly..."

He lowered his voice, "You can also get the H5 District Tongxin Association's president's token. That's something left behind by the high-ranking god who founded the Tongxin Association. I heard from the older generation that if you get the token and are recognized, you can also get some special benefits."

Lin Feng's expression shifted slightly: "The guild leader's token?"

"Hmm." Han Dang nodded. "However, most of the written materials left by previous presidents were collected by Viscount Yongye long ago. Now, probably only that token remains."

"Viscount Eternal Night didn't take it?"

“It can’t be taken away.” Han Dang shook his head. “That token contains the power of a high-ranking god; even he can’t do anything about it.”

The things left behind by the high gods...

It doesn't matter if the data is taken away, but the token contains the power of a high-ranking god, which even Viscount Eternal Night can't do anything about.

That's worth checking out.

My thoughts returned to normal.

Lin Feng looked up and gazed in the direction of the Furnace Alliance area; the Tongxin Society's headquarters were located over there.

He leaped into the air and flew in that direction.

...

Iron Alliance City, the city center.

In the distance, a huge square appeared on the horizon.

Two giant pillars stand at the edge of the square, each about thirty meters in diameter, gradually narrowing from bottom to top, shrinking to about fifteen meters near the top.

The one on the west side is dark black, with its surface covered with beastman battle patterns carved on it, while the one on the east side is made entirely of bluish-white jade, with a smooth, polished shaft.

Lin Feng landed on the plaza and walked towards the jade pillar to the east.

Upon entering the Tongxin Society's headquarters, unlike the last time I visited, the hall was completely empty, without a single human baron in sight.

They've probably all been transferred to the Pure Land of Eternal Night Snow Mountain.

Lin Feng didn't stop, but went straight up a curved stone staircase that spiraled along the wall to the second floor.

The layout of the second floor is similar to that of the first floor, except that above the stone platform in the center of the hall, there is a suspended metal plate with a smooth, mirror-like surface, displaying the list of tasks publicly available by the Tongxin Society.

At this moment, only a few unaccepted tasks remained on the metal plate, while most of the others were marked with the red text "requisitioned".

Lin Feng didn't look around much and continued walking uphill.

The layout of each of the three, four, and five floors is similar, but the decorations become less and less, and the number of people decreases.

By the time we reached the sixth floor, there was no one left in the corridor; only the murals on the walls were displayed one after another.

He walked and looked around.

The first painting depicts a human standing alone on an icy plain, facing an overwhelming tide of monsters. His back is straight, and he holds a sword that has been broken in half.

The second painting depicts several humans standing back-to-back in a circle, surrounded by a dense swarm of enemies. The sky above them is stained red with blood, but none of them bow their heads.

The third painting depicts a human kneeling in the ruins, holding a lifeless companion in his arms. There is no crying on his face, but his eyes reveal a fierce determination that cannot be suppressed.

The fourth, fifth, sixth... each painting depicts a different scene, but the theme is the same—fearlessness.

Even if you're the only one left, even if you only have half a weapon left, even if there's no way to retreat, you still have to stand.

Lin Feng looked around without saying a word, and walked all the way to the top floor.

The higher you go, the quieter the air becomes. Sunlight streams in through the small windows high up, casting long, thin shadows on the empty corridor.

At the end of the corridor was a large golden door, with no superfluous decorations on the surface, except for a double knot emblem engraved in the very center.

He pushed open the door and went in. The room was not big. There was a row of bookshelves in front of the four walls, but the bookshelves were empty. There wasn't a single book left.

A desk sits in the center of the room, its surface spotless, clearly indicating that it is cleaned regularly.

On the desk, a token was placed in a conspicuous position.

Lin Feng walked over and picked up the token.

It felt slightly cool to the touch, and the instant his fingertips touched the token, a chilling system notification rang in his mind.

【Awakened One Detected: Lin Feng】

【Race: Human】

【Level: 59】

【H5 District Unity Association President Vacancy Duration: 9981 years】

【Meets the requirements for succession】

【Is it confirmed that you will take over as president of the H5 District Unity Association?】

"confirm."

【Successful.】

【Lin Feng has officially become the president of the H5 Zone Unity Association.】

Immediately afterwards, a series of prompts popped up.

【Regional status synchronization in progress...】

【H5 area is ruled by the Nightmare Clan.】

【According to the last message communicated with headquarters...】

【Resolution 17314 of the Nightmare Divine Court Conference: District H and all its subordinate regional associations are formally severing their affiliation with the General Headquarters.】

【Affiliation changed to: Ruler of District H, Earl of Nightfall.】

【Special Clause: If the president of the H5 District Unity Association gains actual control over the H District, they may reapply to join the General Association.】

【System message: Stay true to your original aspirations, and you will achieve your goal. We look forward to the return of the H District Tongxin Branch.】

Lin Feng frowned slightly. It seemed that the great change ten thousand years ago was significant. Even the founder of the Tongxin Society, who was a high-ranking god, had no choice but to abandon all the branches in this region.

Moreover, one must become the ruler of District H in order to re-establish contact with headquarters.

This is a huge pitfall. I can't even handle Viscount Eternal Night, let alone Earl of Nightfall, who has most likely mastered the complete laws.

He stared at the last sentence, "Never forget your original aspiration, and you will achieve your goal," and his lips twitched.

That sounds nice, but it doesn't.

"Any other benefits?" Lin Feng couldn't help but ask himself. "Wasn't it said that becoming the president would bring benefits? And that's it? Did they even take away the rewards after the headquarters withdrew?"

He silently examined the token several times, but apart from the identity confirmation prompt and the "system message," there was no other information.

There are no skills, no attribute bonuses, and no equipment drops.

It's just an empty title, plus a motivational quote.

Lin Feng tucked the token into his pocket, turned around, and walked out of the room.

After going downstairs and leaving the Tongxin Association's headquarters, he stood in the square and looked up at the gray sky.

I'm going to the Central Battlefield in three days, and I need to go back to Beacon Fire Territory before I leave.

He took to the air and flew towards the portal.
