I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 576 The Crossroads of Life: Choices!

A bitter smile flickered across Hua Changfeng's lips.

Although he had anticipated this outcome, he still found it hard to accept when he actually heard the ancestor say those words himself.

Losing this position means that even if he can continue to stay at Origin Academy, he will have no place to stand.

Having been personally expelled by the Origin Ancestor, where would he find a place in the Origin Academy?

At this moment, Xia Yuan continued:
"But if you're willing, you can follow me from now on!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Changfeng was immediately taken aback.

He wondered if he had misheard!
"Of course, you can continue to manage Origin Academy if you wish!"

Before he could finish speaking, Hua Changfeng interrupted:
"I want to follow you!"

"you sure?"

"If you leave Origin Academy, you won't be able to enjoy yourself like this anymore!"

Xia Yuan smiled.

The reason he didn't let Hua Changfeng continue managing the college was certainly not because he wasn't doing a good enough job.

On the contrary, he has done quite well over the years!

As for the internal strife within the Origin Academy, the root cause was the depletion of resources.

Even if Hua Changfeng could detect it, the outcome wouldn't change much.

It might even detonate the bomb prematurely.

The opportunity given to Hua Changfeng now is also because of his hard work over the past twenty years.

However, if Hua Changfeng continues to stay in this position, his ultimate goal will be at most the Return to One Realm.

It's even possible that they won't even reach the Unity Realm.

After all, this position requires too much energy!

Of course, Xia Yuan could see that Hua Changfeng had a certain attachment to power.

So the choice is ultimately up to him.

"I am sure!"

"As long as you don't kick me out, I'll stay with you forever!"

Hua Changfeng nodded frantically.

Are you kidding me? Who could refuse something like this?
The greatest opportunity is to stay by the side of the ancestor.

As for power?

Power is not determined by your position, but by your distance from the center of power.

And in this world, who can compare to the Origin Ancestor?

To put it bluntly, no one dared to underestimate even an ordinary person beside the Origin Ancestor.

Moreover, Hua Changfeng was very clear about this.

He is far behind the geniuses of Origin Academy.

Right now, it takes him a very long time to even break through to the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm.

Then let alone the Grandmasters and even the Unity Realm later on!

If he relies on his own cultivation, he will at most reach the Unity Realm in the future.

Only by staying by Yuanzu's side will he have the opportunity to go further.

Xia Yuan smiled and shook his head.

He neither agreed nor disagreed with Hua Changfeng's words.

Time changes many things.

Now, in order to go further, Hua Changfeng is naturally willing to follow him.

But such a life is very boring.

Tens, hundreds, or even thousands of years later.

Once he becomes strong enough, his mindset will naturally change.

However, Xia Yuan didn't seem to care.

As someone who had followed him from the beginning, he was simply giving Hua Changfeng a choice.

Xia Yuan will not interfere with whether Xia Yuan stays or leaves in the future.

In addition, Xia Yuan did this in order to conduct an experiment.

He also wanted to see how far Hua Changfeng could go under his tutelage.

As for why Xia Yuan doesn't mentor top geniuses like Nangong Hong, it's naturally because he hopes these people will forge their own paths in the future.

The paths they have walked will ultimately become nourishment for Xia Yuan.

Hua Changfeng clearly doesn't have that talent.

"Alright, in the next few days, discuss with Master Li about finding someone you trust to take your place!"

"Yes!"

Hua Changfeng saluted respectfully.

However, when he looked up again, Xia Yuan had already disappeared from his seat.

"I actually managed to follow the Origin Ancestor!"

Looking at the empty seats, Hua Changfeng still felt a little unreal.

In just a short moment.

His mood was like a rollercoaster.

I thought my life would hit rock bottom, but I never expected to reach an even higher peak.

"Don't be too happy yet, go and take care of what you're doing first!"

"In addition, I also need to find someone I can absolutely trust to replace me."

Hua Changfeng dared not make a random choice when it came to his successor.

If I make a mistake later, I'll be in trouble too.

……

three days later.

Inside a coffee shop in Xinyuan City.

Hua Changfeng waved to the man who strode in.

"Old Gu, over here!"

Upon hearing the sound, the man immediately came over.

"Hey, you crazy guy, can't you just say what you need to say over the communicator? Why do I have to come all the way to Moonstar?"

Gu Yunhai plopped down in his seat, his tone full of complaints!
He was already very busy during this period.

As a result, Hua Changfeng specifically asked him to come to Xinyuan City, saying that he had something very important to tell him.

There was nothing he could do; Hua Changfeng was now his direct superior.

So Gu Yunhai had to temporarily put aside his work and rush over.

That's right, Gu Yunhai is no longer a reporter for Jiuzhou TV.

Instead, he was the external liaison for the Origin Academy. This was arranged by Hua Changfeng so that Gu Yunhai could earn contribution points.

Therefore, Gu Yunhai has become a Grandmaster of the first level of Transcendent Realm in the past twenty years.

Of course, his ability to cultivate to the Grandmaster level was not solely due to the contribution points he earned as a staff member of the Origin Academy.

Although the salaries of staff at the Origin Academy have increased somewhat in recent years.

But at most, you can only contribute fifty points a year.

People like Gu Yunhai, who are external liaisons, cannot be considered part of the management level of administrative staff.

You only get thirty contribution points a year.

Relying solely on 30 contribution points per year, it's completely impossible to reach the Grandmaster level in just over a decade.

Like other staff members, even those who were the first to enter the Origin Academy.

Most of them are only at the Innate or even Body Tempering stage now.

Those who can break through to the Grandmaster level can be counted on one hand.

Gu Yunhai was able to become a grandmaster mainly thanks to Hua Changfeng's help.

However, for him, reaching the Grandmaster level is pretty much the limit in his lifetime!
There is absolutely no hope of breaking through to the Grandmaster level.

Fortunately, Gu Yunhai didn't seem to care.

He would be content to live for two hundred years as a grandmaster!
Therefore, he has basically given up cultivation.

As for the contribution points he earned, he planned to save them to raise his descendants!
"Hehe, of course it's a big deal!"

Looking at Gu Yunhai's expression, Hua Changfeng smiled.

"What's the big deal?"

Hua Changfeng did not answer immediately, but instead took a leisurely sip of his coffee.

"Old Gu, do you want to break through to the Grandmaster level? Or even beyond Grandmaster?"

Gu Yunhai almost spat out the coffee he had just drunk.

"You lunatic, are you still half asleep?"

He has a very clear understanding of himself.

Even with Hua Changfeng's help, it's unlikely that he could cultivate to the level of a Grandmaster.

Not to mention those above the Grandmaster level!

On the one hand, his talent is indeed not very good.

Although he has become a Grandmaster at the first level of Transcendent Realm, his martial arts cultivation is only at the peak of Ming Jin.

As for the meaning of the laws, he didn't grasp it at all.

On the other hand, there is the issue of resources.

To cultivate to the level of a Grandmaster, one needs an extremely large amount of resources.

Especially for someone with average talent like him, the resources he needs will only be greater.

Unless Hua Changfeng gives all his cultivation resources to himself.

That might be the only way to have any hope of breaking through to the Grandmaster level.

etc.
Upon realizing this, Gu Yunhai's expression changed drastically!
"You madman, you wouldn't be thinking of secretly diverting resources from the Origin Academy to me, would you? That won't do."

"Although you have a high status in the Origin Academy now, you know the rules of the Origin Academy better than I do."

"If this is discovered, not only will you lose your job, but I'll be finished too!"

"Don't make a fool of yourself!"

"Moreover, I'm already satisfied with breaking through to the Grandmaster level. There's no difference between Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster to me."

Upon hearing this, Hua Changfeng replied in an annoyed tone.

"what are you thinking?"

After the joke, Hua Changfeng's expression turned serious.

"When I said I could help you break through to the Grandmaster level, it didn't mean I would give you resources!"

"I'm having you take my place!"

"As long as you can take on the position of the academy director, it is not impossible for you to become a Grandmaster, or even above the Grandmaster level in the future!"

"what?"

Gu Yunhai's hand holding the coffee trembled slightly.

To let himself take his place?
"Do you want to hear what you're saying?"

To be honest, no normal person would say something like that.

He seriously doubted whether Hua Changfeng had lost his mind!
Do I look like I'm joking?

At this moment, Hua Changfeng's eyes became unusually serious, and even his aura changed.

Gu Yunhai was stunned by this sudden surge of power.

For twenty years, he had never noticed that his old friend had developed such an imposing presence.

Clearly, he wasn't joking.

But Gu Yunhai was still a little dazed.

It should be noted that Hua Changfeng's position can be considered a true high-level position in the Origin Academy.

So now he's telling me to sit down?
This is nothing short of a chance to rise to the top in one step!

It's unbelievable to put this in anyone else's shoes.

"Director Hua, has something happened?"

This time, he even changed how he addressed people!
"no!"

Hua Changfeng shook his head.

"I can no longer stay in the academy, so the Origin Ancestor asked me to find someone I can trust!"

"That's why I found you!"

Hua Changfeng approached Gu Yunhai not entirely because of their relationship.

The most important thing for someone in his position is not handling various matters, but resisting temptations.

Gu Yunhai's personality is clearly a good fit.

This is also why he found Gu Yunhai.

Otherwise, no matter how good their relationship was, he would never have recommended Gu Yunhai.

After all, Yuanzu asked him to make the recommendation, so if this person had problems, he would definitely bear an unshirkable responsibility.

"Unable to stay at Origin Academy?"

"It's not what you think!"

Hua Changfeng shook his head, offering no further explanation on the matter.

"You don't need to give me an answer right now!"

"This position represents not only power and resources, but also immense pressure!"

"If you don't do it well, all that awaits you is an abyss!"

"I'll give you three days. I hope you'll think it through before you tell me."

After saying that, he stood up and walked straight outside.
