My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 172 - 171: Return

Lv Bai raised an eyebrow.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The old man with a white beard on the plaque of the Great Immortal was visibly taken aback.

After a moment of silence, he earnestly advised, "Mr. Bai, the position of Temple God cannot be taken lightly."

After all, Lv Bai was indeed strong enough, and holding the Four Immortal Lotus, all these immortals had no choice but to grudgingly accept, regardless of their approval.

But if a newcomer was to be appointed so soon, it would be hard for the immortals to accept.

"Is there a rule that a Temple God cannot retire?"

"This..."

The Great Immortal couldn’t help but feel that Lv Bai was being unreasonable.

The incense fire system of the Four Great Sects was established, counting fully, only passing through a Legendary Incense Master like Grandma Wang San. There was no precedent for retirement.

Lv Bai shrugged and said, "Well, there you have it."

After Great Immortal Zhang and White Immortal expressed their agreement, they remained silent.

Anyway, for them, even if another Temple God was changed, they would still remain in their positions.

The plaque of Great Immortal Huang remained inactive throughout, clearly intending to follow the crowd.

The only one with some concerns was the Great Immortal.

But strictly speaking, its resistance purely stemmed from being too satisfied with Lv Bai as the new Temple God, reluctant to see any changes.

"Alright, let’s proceed. You prepare for the Open Top ceremony."

Saying that, Lv Bai didn’t wait for their response and got up to walk out of the hall with Wang Shu.

Chang Shengtian, Master Bai the Fourteenth, and Second Young Master Hu were waiting outside the hall. Seeing the two come out, Second Young Master Hu hurriedly greeted them.

"How was it? What did the Great Immortals say?"

Accepting Wang Shu as their own Incense Master, these immortals shared a shared fate with her.

In a sense, Second Young Master Hu hoped even more than Lv Bai that this little girl could successfully succeed to the position of Temple God of Grandma Wang San’s temple.

"Do you think I was negotiating with them?" Lv Bai asked back, slightly surprised.

Hearing this, Second Young Master Hu couldn’t help but let out a long breath.

"Okay, Mr. Bai, rest assured, we’ll do our best to assist Little Sister Wang."

In his youthful white-haired form, he indeed didn’t seem very convincing.

Wang Shu hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Brother Lv, I can’t do it..."

Her voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, barely audible without attention.

The experiences of this period made her feel like she was dreaming.

The successors trained by Grandma Wang San hadn’t even managed to gain the approval of most immortals.

But then Grandma Wang San suddenly passed away, and these successors found even surviving the accounts of the immortals challenging, let alone succeeding as Temple God.

But that’s how unpredictable life is,

Wang Shu was originally still hiding, when one day she suddenly heard that a new Temple God had emerged in the Incense Sect.

The most outrageous thing was that not long after, this new Temple God specifically came looking for her.

Right off the bat, he asked her to inherit Grandma Wang San’s legacy...

"Don’t be so pessimistic."

Lv Bai touched Wang Shu’s head and said gently, "Things aren’t as difficult as you think. Didn’t Grandma Wang San teach you all in advance?"

"I... I never thought I could succeed as Temple God."

[Ding!]

[Objective Task One: Reconstruct Order (Completed)]

[This Death Fight will close in thirty seconds. All Death Fighters, please remain in place and do not move.]

Wang Shu, overwhelmed, didn’t know where to put her hands, suffering from severe lack of confidence.

Even among the successors trained by Grandma Wang San, she was relatively low in rank.

But it couldn’t be helped; with Second Young Master Hu’s efforts, the higher-ranked successors had all gone to meet Grandma Wang San.

Lv Bai, of course, wouldn’t say it like that. Instead, he laid out the facts and reasoned with her.

"I will leave the Four Immortal Lotus to you. After the four Great Immortals conduct the Open Top ceremony for you, they won’t oppose, especially with the support of these three."

He turned sideways and pointed to the three immortals led by Chang Shengtian, continuing to encourage, "If I say you can do it, you can. Surely, you can believe me?"

Even if she truly couldn’t, the task wouldn’t be marked as completed.

When the time comes, considering someone else wouldn’t be too late.

...

Inside the hall.

"...Under the guidance of the Star of Fortune and blessed, one day the true fruition will fill the hall."

Wang Shu recited obediently and then placed the nine sticks of incense she was holding into the incense burner.

Gently rising green incense smoke shimmered with a faint four-colored light.

Silhouettes appeared on the plaques of the four Great Immortals, with mana surging intensely as each performed their duties.

Second Young Master Hu and the others stood at the front of the hall with Lv Bai, silently observing the situation.

Suddenly, a soothing aroma slowly wafted from Wang Shu.

With both hands clasped, the Great Immortal earnestly chanted towards the sky, "The ceremony is complete."

An echo resonated inside the hall, as if in response.

As the echo subsided, a mechanical system prompt sounded instantly in Lv Bai’s mind.

[Ding!]

[Objective Task One: Maintain Incense Gate System (Completed)]

[This Death Fight will close in thirty seconds. All Death Fighters, please remain in place and do not move.]

Meanwhile.

A matchmaker with a mole on her chin waved a handkerchief, while the surrounding family members joyfully celebrated another successful marriage. But when the prompt sounded, the matchmaker seemed petrified.

At a street food stall in the city, a rosy-faced vendor flipping pancakes suddenly changed expression and abruptly turned to look toward the Bi Xia Yuanjun Temple.

A young man feasting in the tavern lost his appetite, his eyes filled with incredulity...

There were many such Death Fighters, including a good number of tourists.

They hid themselves well.

However, with the completion of the objective task, they could no longer continue their leisurely life in this world.

...

Bi Xia Yuanjun Temple.

Wang Shu officially succeeded to the position of Temple God.

While she was indeed the same person and not much time had passed, her demeanor had matured significantly, almost as if she had become someone else.

With her hands positioned in front, she respectfully turned around.

Wanting to see at once the young man with a constant smile.

Unfortunately, she did not see him.

It was at this moment that Second Young Master Hu, Chang Shengtian, and Master Bai the Fourteenth realized that somehow, an empty space had appeared among them.

...
