Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 483 "The Evolution Trustee" should rightfully be held by the strongest person, for whom the will to give everything is essential.
"I wouldn't call myself a great contributor."

"It's just sending them over."

"Moreover, it also fulfilled my wish."

When Su Mengyao heard Wang Shouguo say that she had made great contributions, she quickly shook her head.

She didn't think she had done anything particularly great; she had just delivered something, and she had even fulfilled her wish to transform into "Nexus".

Wang Shouguo dared to say that, but she wouldn't dare to admit it.

However, it was only right for her to express gratitude to Ye Xuan on behalf of the Tian Shu Bureau, which is what she did at the time.

Hearing Su Mengyao's refusal and seeing the slightly embarrassed look on her face, Wang Shouguo couldn't help but smile and shake his head, his eyes carrying a hint of an elder looking at a junior, but he didn't say anything more.

Su Mengyao is different from those who have worked in the system for many years.

She joined the Tian Shu Bureau after awakening her supernatural abilities following the revival of spiritual energy.

This allows her to retain, in many ways, the frankness and purity of a recent college graduate, and she has not yet been assimilated by the mindset and style of doing things within the system.

In addition, she was lucky enough to discover Ye Xuan soon after joining the Tian Shu Bureau and became Ye Xuan's agent in the Tian Shu Bureau, so she was directly promoted to the core layer of the "Tian Shu Bureau".

While their rights are not mentioned, their status is quite detached.

Therefore, she often doesn't need to care about internal rules and hierarchical pressures, and can act more according to her own heart.

This is why Su Mengyao sometimes says things that some people find somewhat blunt or "inappropriate".

However, Wang Shouguo did not see this trait as a flaw.

If she didn't have this quality, perhaps her connection with Ye Xuan wouldn't be so deep. Often, this kind of sincerity is more effective at building trust than being slick.

"Alright, enough with the formalities."

"The organization will remember your contributions; now, go and rest."

"We'll need you, the 'key person,' to attend the next meeting."

Wang Shouguo suppressed his smile and resumed his work, but his tone was much gentler.

"Yes, Director!"

Seeing that Wang Shouguo was no longer insisting on flattering her, Su Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief and gave a crisp salute in response.

She didn't really think she had done anything remarkable; being able to personally transform into Nexus and fly this way was already the greatest reward and satisfaction for her.

She glanced once more at the "Evolution Trustee" who had already been placed there, then turned and followed the people waiting nearby to leave and proceed with the next steps.

Wang Shouguo watched Su Mengyao's figure disappear at the end of the passage. He had just turned around, preparing to give more specific instructions to the people around him, when he suddenly met an unusually intense gaze.

The owner of that gaze was none other than Gu Che.

He had approached without anyone noticing and was now standing a few steps away, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his gaze fixed intently on him.

Wang Shouguo was slightly taken aback. Before he could ask a question, Gu Che stepped forward and said directly without any preamble:
“I want to become a holder of the ‘Evolution Trustor’.”

“I understand that ‘evolutionary trustees’ are important, and their holders need to undergo rigorous selection and evaluation.”

"But I believe I am qualified to be a suitable candidate."

"In terms of strength, apart from Ye Xuan, Elder Zhong, and the dimensional beings who have descended into reality, I don't think I'm inferior to anyone."

"Although Lu Jing reached the fourth tier before me, I am confident that I am no weaker than him; Shen Xuan's strength is based on the transformation of Kamen Rider Steel, but he cannot use two transformation devices at the same time."

"In terms of will and belief, I ask myself, having been tempered through trials, my mind is firm, what I seek is strength and to protect what is worth protecting, and this has never wavered."

"I have the will to give everything for it."

Gu Che's gaze did not waver at all. He stated his reasons, speaking slowly but with each word carrying weight.

As he said, in the Great Xia, apart from Ye Xuan, Elder Zhong, and those "dimensional beings" who descended from other worlds and possessed great strength, Gu Che did not believe that he would lose to anyone, whether in terms of strength or will.

Even though Lu Jing broke through his realm faster and was the first to enter the fourth rank; even though Shen Mo had the guidance of Gin Ichimaru; even though Lin Ruoxi possessed two compatible "heavenly treasures"—the "Eye of God" and the "Rumble Fruit"—she was still a force to be reckoned with.
He still believes that he is no less capable than them.

However, they probably think so too.

On the level of will, he also has absolute confidence.

The strength of one's will is not determined by the level of one's strength, but rather stems from inner beliefs and an unwavering commitment to one's original aspirations despite hardships; it is a manifestation of spirit.

Therefore, among the warriors of the Great Xia, there are many people with strong wills.

He respected those people, but never belittled himself, believing that his will was inferior to theirs.

Moreover, willpower alone is not enough to unleash the power of "Nexus"!
A strong will is the key to guiding the light, while the user's own basic strength is the vessel that holds and releases that light. No matter how strong the will, if one's own strength is weak, one cannot push this power to a higher level; no matter how strong one's strength is, if one's will is not firm, one may become lost in the power, or even be corrupted by darkness.

Therefore, to unleash the power of "Nexus", both strength and willpower are indispensable.

He is undoubtedly one of the most suitable candidates under the current circumstances.

Since the Tian Shu Bureau is destined to select a "suitable person" to bear this power, then why can't that person be him?

Wang Shouguo listened to Gu Che's words but did not immediately respond. Instead, he looked into Gu Che's eyes and said earnestly:
"In terms of strength and willpower, I have no doubt that you can unleash the power of Nexus and will be one of the most suitable candidates."

"Even if you didn't mention it today, in my heart, you, Lu Jing, Shen Mo, Shen Xuan, Lin Ruoxi, Li Chaoyang, and Lin Xiu would all be on the list and become candidates for the right person."

"Of course, it's not just you guys."

Wang Shouguo's gaze deepened:

What we need is a 'train of fitters', not a 'single fitter'.

"Only in this way can we ensure that, under any circumstances, someone can step forward and carry on this light."

Gu Che is undoubtedly one of the most qualified candidates for the title of "Evolution Trustee" in Wang Shouguo's mind.

As the director of the Tian Shu General Bureau in the capital, Wang Shouguo could almost say that he watched Gu Che grow up step by step.

He knew better than anyone how much effort Gu Che had put in to improve his strength.

Those were training sessions that pushed his body to its limits time and time again, and exhausting trials. If it weren't for the Azure Dragon Fruit granting him superhuman recovery abilities, ordinary people simply couldn't withstand that kind of almost self-torturous intensity of training.

In terms of strength and willpower, Gu Che is undoubtedly one of the most ideal candidates for "Evolution Trustee".

Wang Shouguo also believed that Gu Che could unleash the power of "Nexus" and would not let them down.

However, as Wang Shouguo just said, "evolutionary trusters" are by no means, and absolutely cannot be, "private property" belonging to any one person.

Unlike other "heavenly treasures", it has no restrictions on its use.

Tying it to a single individual, no matter how outstanding that individual is, carries enormous risks.

Individuals may perish, may get lost, or may encounter unforeseen circumstances.

However, a carefully constructed 'group' or 'echelon' will not.

Risks cannot be completely eliminated, but they can be diversified and managed.

What they need is to establish a mechanism for orderly succession within a sufficiently large and rigorously selected group of 'suitable individuals'.

When a light might dim due to an accident, another, or even multiple, backup lights can immediately take over, ensuring that the chain of protection never breaks.

“Even so, there should be a clear ‘priority’.”

"The 'Evolution Trustee' should be held and used by the strongest and most suitable 'fittest' at present."

"Until this strongest candidate falls or is confirmed to be unable to continue fulfilling his duties, he is the most qualified person to bear this power."

"Because only he can bring Nexus's power to a higher level."

"Others can serve as backup and step forward when he needs support, but the core ownership and primary use rights should belong to the person who can best utilize its power."

Gu Che answered without hesitation after hearing Wang Shouguo's words.

He understands the consideration of establishing a "talent pool" to ensure that the second person to succeed the light can also exert this power.

Even so, the "Evolution Trustee" should rightfully be held by the strongest person.

The main role of reserve candidates is to take over the light and continue the hope after the main force falls, rather than to disperse the use of this power in normal times.

Wang Shouguo did not deny Gu Che's words; on the contrary, he nodded, acknowledging part of them.
"From the perspective of maximizing individual strength and combat power, your idea is correct."

"The one who can unleash the full power of Nexus should rightfully hold the title of 'Evolution Trustee' for a long time."

"However, we cannot predict when or in what form a crisis will strike; perhaps the 'strongest' is dealing with another crisis thousands of miles away, while a new threat is erupting around us; perhaps he is not in good condition due to continuous combat, or has encountered unexpected restraint."

"We cannot afford to place our hopes for dealing with supernormal threats entirely on a single individual being 'always present' and 'always in peak condition'."

Wang Shouguo's tone became more serious, carrying an unquestionable determination:

"Moreover, the value of 'evolutionary trustees' is too high, so high that we cannot confidently entrust them to any individual for the long term, even if that individual is someone we completely trust."

"Therefore, the 'evolutionary trustee' will not be held by anyone for long."
