Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 219 Initial Assumption of Power
"This is?"

Ling Shuang took the document from Zhong Liwu, and for a moment she couldn't figure out what this Holy Spirit Cult Leader wanted to do.

However, after he opened the file and saw its contents, a barely perceptible hint of joy flashed in Ling Shuang's eyes.

“This is a portion of the Holy Spirit Cult’s power. I intend to hand it over to you, Holy Son, to manage. What do you think, Holy Son?” Zhongli Wu’s voice rang out.

Zhongli Wu's actions were exactly what Ling Shuang had expected, but he did not agree to it immediately.

"It's a bit troublesome." Ling Shuang remained noncommittal, but still frowned slightly, seemingly somewhat disgusted.

His reaction was exactly what Zhong Liwu had expected.

If Ling Shuang had agreed immediately, he might have had doubts, since he didn't seem like the kind of person who was obsessed with power when Ling Shuang joined the sect.

If she readily agreed, it would only make Zhongli Wu suspect that Ling Shuang might have ulterior motives.

His reaction reassured Zhongli Wu.

He made this decision after careful consideration.

Ling Shuang and Gu Yuena are not like Tang Ya, the Blue Silver Saintess who has lost most of her mind due to being controlled by the evil poison; their minds are very clear.

Therefore, Zhongliwu believed that the actual ruler of the Holy Spirit Sect in the future would inevitably be one of these two people.

Through his observations over the past few days, he has come to realize that Gu Yuena almost always puts "Jiang Xue" at the head, so the future successor will inevitably fall to Ling Shuang.

His actions today are preparations for future succession.

If it's just a simple Holy Son, then there's no need to start getting involved in the specifics of the Holy Spirit Church so quickly. But if it's a predetermined successor, then it's a different story.

For the sake of the great revival of the Holy Spirit Cult, Zhong Liwu believed it was necessary to let Ling Shuang be exposed to these things in advance.

"Holy Son, there is no need to worry too much. This will not take up much of your time. You will only need to spend a little time managing it."

“As the future successor of the Holy Spirit Church, the Holy Son will inevitably come into contact with these matters sooner or later. Taking over now is also to prepare for the future,” Zhongli Wu advised with a smile.

"The distribution of the Holy Spirit Cult as shown in this document will be entirely under your control, Holy Son Jiang Xue. We will not interfere."

"As for how it develops, that depends on your own abilities, Holy Son. There's no need to worry too much. If it fails, just consider it as gaining experience."

Although Zhongli Wu wanted to get "Jiang Xue" to start accepting the things of the Holy Spirit Cult, she was someone who had no prior experience, and he couldn't relinquish too much power at once.

Zhongli Wu only gave Ling Shuang a small part of the Holy Spirit Cult's power, wanting to see the abilities of this holy son, who was handpicked by his mother.

After all, the ability to manage an organization and the talent to cultivate oneself are never linked.

Just like his mother, Ye Xishui, as a Limit Douluo, her cultivation talent is absolutely beyond doubt, even surpassing his.

However, in terms of management skills, he is not as good as her.

He needs to clearly understand Ling Shuang's abilities in this area in order to provide better guidance.

It must be said that Zhongliwu has indeed made a big investment in this area.

Although the force he handed over to Ling Shuang was not the core strength of the Holy Spirit Cult, it was still quite considerable, and even included a titled Douluo elder.

So what if the operation is ruined? Tsk tsk, they really have deep pockets.

Ling Shuang feigned hesitation, and after a long while, reluctantly nodded: "Alright."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli Wu smiled and said, "In that case, Holy Son, prepare to take over the affairs there."

He had already given the order in advance; all Ling Shuang needed to do was go and take over. "If the sect leader has nothing else to do, we'll be leaving now," Ling Shuang said, somewhat "annoyed."

"Go." Zhongli Wu waved his hand, eager to see what this holy son, chosen by his mother, could achieve.

…………

After leaving the Holy Spirit Cult, seeing that Tang Ya seemed to have something to say, Ling Shuang gave Gu Yuena a look.

Gu Yuena understood immediately, unleashed her spiritual power, and then shook her head to indicate that no one from the Holy Spirit Cult was following them.

It seems that Zhongli Wu has lowered his guard against them considerably since the investiture ceremony ended.

Having received Gu Yuena's answer, Tang Ya finally couldn't bear it anymore. Pretending to be so lifeless had been suffocating her!
However, she was still sensible and simply changed her expression back to normal, but she still did not act too outrageously.

Gu Yuena waved her hand slightly, casting an invisible soundproof barrier around the three of them to prevent their conversation from being overheard.

Although it's certain that no one in the Holy Spirit Cult is following them, things could still get complicated if others overhear.

"That guy Zhongliwu gave you the Holy Spirit Cult's power?!" With Gu Yuena's soundproof barrier, Tang Ya spoke more recklessly.

Her voice was tinged with surprise and excitement.

To think that someone could control the Holy Spirit Church is just too fantastical!
“It’s just the Holy Spirit Cult’s forces in Mingdu, not even including the stronghold we just visited.” Ling Shuang’s voice remained relatively calm.

Although Zhongli Wu had gained some trust in them, this action clearly showed that he was still somewhat wary of you.

By confining his authority to Mingdu, Zhongli Wu could detect any problems immediately.

Moreover, keeping Tang Ya by his side was actually Zhongli Wu's little scheme.

In Zhongliwu's view recently, Tang Ya is still the Blue Silver Saintess who is delirious due to being poisoned by evil.

He will most likely ask Tang Ya about Ling Shuang's situation later.

Unfortunately, Zhongli Wu never expected that the evil poison he had in Tang Ya had already been cured by Ling Shuang.

No matter how much he asks, it's just a smokescreen from Tang Ya; it will only benefit him, not harm him.

One holy son and two holy daughters, all of them are traitors. How can this be played?
Ling Shuang understood Zhong Liwu's thoughts perfectly.

However, he didn't care. After all, if he couldn't even make such a decision, then Zhongliwu would be too useless as the leader.

If Ling Shuang were to entrust all the forces far from Zhong Liwu's control to him, she would be even more wary, suspecting that he might be setting a trap for her.

This actually made him feel more at ease.

Besides, since it's not right under their noses, they can't make any moves.

Ling Shuang smiled slightly. If Zhong Liwu thought that was enough and that everything was under control, he was being too naive.

Although the power he was given was indeed limited to the Holy Spirit Cult's influence within the Mingdu sphere, one thing was absolutely true:

Zhongliwu did indeed grant him primary authority within this scope.

With this factor in mind, he can make many moves.

“Let’s go to where we’ll take over,” he said with a smile.

This was just the first step in his taking control of the entire Holy Spirit Cult!
