Chapter 1654: Two Weeks Delay

United City (Tier-3 Sub-Post)

These days, the council elders were trying to get a response from the higher-ups. They had informed the higher-ups that Zack Lockwood had entered the Half-Step Red Mark Stage.

On the other hand, they had to keep an eye on the warriors in the training camps. The next secret land battlefield might occur at any time.

Elder Rowena and her friend Freya were in constant touch. It was because her friend Freya was one of the important elders in the main post.

She kept asking whether they had received any order to receive Zack Lockwood yet. But her friend Freya said that they had yet to receive any message.

It disappointed Rowena. Although she wanted Zack Lockwood to be here and prepare until he became a complete Red Mark Warrior, in reality, he was going to waste time here.

Because of that, she thought it was better for Zack Lockwood to enter the main post first.

Rowena thought that her friend knew something, but was keeping things from her. She had thought her friend would open up someday.

But it didn’t happen, so she thought her friend Freya might not have been allowed to say anything.

Meanwhile,

Quasi-God Jane was staying at her post. She had been getting reports on the Tier-3 Sub-Post.

She knew that Zack Lockwood had entered the Half-Step Red Mark Rank. This was faster than she had expected.

She didn’t know whether things were ready at the main post. She had given them instructions to make plans in case the foreign creatures learned that the kid had come to the main post.

If that happened, the battlefields in the main post would become tense and dangerous. The Quasi-Gods didn’t want the same situation to be repeated in the main post.

The Quasi-Gods understood that the young man Zack Lockwood was different from the others. He was a multiple Inheritance user. It was not a secret anymore.

They also knew the young man had received the bloodline passed down from the Ancestor Ball.

The Quasi-Gods were discussing creating a special battlefield for Zack Lockwood so that he could fight against the foreign creatures alone.

Some of the Quasi-Gods were thinking about using Zack Lockwood’s strength to their favor. If they could send the dangerous foreign creatures to the special battlefield, then Zack Lockwood could take care of them.

Then the pressure on the other battlefields would be reduced. It was a great plan, but it was essentially using Zack Lockwood’s strength to their advantage so that the situation wouldn’t end up like the sub-post.

However, not all of them were on the same page. A few other Quasi-Gods wanted Zack Lockwood to be like the others and participate in the main battlefield.

This was because they thought the warriors in the main post were many times stronger than the warriors in the sub-post, meaning they could handle the situation without Zack Lockwood.

Because these warriors faced elite creatures every time, they were stronger than the other warriors in the sub-post.

As a result, no decision was being made. The Quasi-Gods held differing opinions, leaving Quasi-God Jane unsure of what to do.

Since it was the main post, the decision of the Quasi-Gods was needed. Without their consent, she could not send Zack Lockwood there.

This was because Zack Lockwood had a higher chance of becoming one of them in the future, so they had to be careful in training him.

At the same time, they wanted him to fight against the foreign creatures. The foreign creatures were sending large numbers to the battlefield every time.

With the help of Zack Lockwood, they could inflict maximum damage on the enemy side. Since the Quasi-Gods were not on the same page, the days were passing just like that.

In the meantime, secret land battles were taking place in both the sub-post and the main post. The battles were proceeding as usual.

The enemy side didn’t pull any tricks this time. After the attack on their post, the foreign creatures gave up in the end.

That was why the battles were going normally. The Quasi-Gods had still yet to make a decision, but Quasi-God Jane decided to send Zack Lockwood to the main post first.

Then they could discuss sending Zack Lockwood to the battlefield. Quasi-God Jane was able to reach a consensus with the others.

She then sent the orders to both the Sub-Post and the Main-Post.

Residence (Sub-Post)

I had been in my room for the past two weeks. I had also stopped practicing for the past two weeks. I had thought that the council elders would send me to the main post in one or two days.

But I didn’t expect one or two days to turn into one or two weeks. From time to time, I would go out alone to explore the city, but I would go in disguise.

I used a mask to cover my face. It felt weird at first, but I got used to the situation. I didn’t know when I would enter the main post.

Buzz!

Just then, the device started buzzing. I picked up the device and checked the message. It was from the council. I read the message, and it brought a smile to my face.

Finally, the council elders had decided to send me tomorrow.

"What happened?" the ancient spirit asked.

"I’m going to the main post tomorrow," I replied.

"Finally. I thought they had lied to you," the ancient spirit said.

"Something must be going on. It’s just that I didn’t know," I replied.

Then I stood up from the seat and started pacing back and forth. I wondered what had happened.

Buzz!

The device buzzed again. I picked up the device and saw a call from Elder Rowena. I answered the call and heard Elder Rowena’s voice.

"Zack Lockwood, the higher-ups have given permission. You will go to the main post tomorrow," Elder Rowena said.

"Is there anything I need to know?" I asked.

"I know you are confused because of the delay, but there will be no change tomorrow. So be ready," Rowena said.

"Okay," I replied.

"If you need help, you can ask for anything," Rowena said.

"No, I’m doing fine. I want to enter the main post first," I replied.

"Don’t worry, there are elders in the main post who will support you," Rowena said.

Hearing that, I thanked her.
