“So I’m supposed to be a mascot and fight with these things too? I’m not a professional!!!”

“Oh, the Human Clan is the legitimate ruler, just usurped by a bunch of bizarre Alien Clan members.”

“I can’t use too strong a Power, otherwise it might cause trouble for the prosperity of Great Qian Country…”

“???” The ministers were utterly baffled by Qin Muye’s statement. They thought he was foolish— he missed the point entirely. What did it have to do with silver and gold?

“Sigh, this thing is dragging me down.” Qin Muye looked at the state of the Qian Dynasty’s prosperity on him and felt helpless: “If it weren’t for you, I would’ve already started bleeding those Alien Clan one by one.”

“Your Majesty, the North-South Canal will be completed soon, just that the funding…” A winged, faceless humanoid stood up to report, seemingly respectful but actually not very reverent.

“Your Majesty, the national treasury is now empty, with little money or provisions left.” A human-faced rat stood out, sobbing as it spoke — in summary, broke.

“What your Majesty does is asking this old servant to offer up his bones and skeleton~” The Grand Secretary, a Snake-man, prostrated completely, seemingly ready to force a palace revolt.

“We are ashamed of failing your royal grace, unable to produce a million taels of silver…” As these words were spoken, led by the Grand Secretary, everyone knelt down scatteredly.

“Hm, a ruler’s word stands firm. Let it be so. Court dismissed.” Qin Muye thought it over and decided to let it be.

“Really, for such a matter, it seems I must let the Spirit Monsters take their place.” Qin Muye scratched his head. He could not handle it alone, for his way of resolving conflict was simple, usually by eliminating those who caused the problem or those who raised the issues. Whichever he chose, the rest became much simpler.

“Alright, I approve. You may leave,” Qin Muye agreed before other Alien Clan could make a fuss, causing those who intended to shout along to pause abruptly.

“Even my Perception is restricted; this protection is quite strong…” After checking the Qian Dynasty’s prosperity, Qin Muye understood it indeed served as a protection. For him, it was as thin as paper, but it prevented any Transcendent Power below the ninth rank from affecting him.

“You all misunderstand me,” Qin Muye spoke earnestly: “I was talking about a million taels not of silver, but gold.”

“Oh, that’s too unfortunate. Well then, each of my revered ministers, donating a million taels will suffice.” Qin Muye looked at them encouragingly, though inside he felt incredibly unlucky. Here he was in a highly martial world, and yet the old Family Heads still clung to him like persistent spirits, even more critically this time since they all had turned into Alien Clan.

“You overestimate me; I’ve never had any political capability throughout my life.” Qin Muye felt helpless about what to do next.

“Who am I? What am I supposed to do? What in the world are those weird-looking things below?” Qin Muye looked utterly flabbergasted.

“Using Spirit Monsters to substitute for these Alien Clan might work, but it’s still just treating the symptoms, not the root cause.”

“Contact the Minister of Revenue.” Qin Muye stated slowly, then shifted his position, leaning lazily on the Dragon Throne.

“What a mess.”

“Lord Era” generously resolved half of the cause and effect early, but that doesn’t mean no measures were taken. Otherwise, Qin Muye wouldn’t shamelessly just dust off and leave, right?

Moreover, it exerted an extremely strong suppressive effect on the Alien Clans. Had it been their heyday, did the Alien Clans even think of attending court as officials? They would likely be crushed to death by the national prosperity on the spot.

It must be said that “Lord Era” is quite sincere, at least since his arrival, half the cause and effect simply vanished.

Aside from being useless on him, it’s pretty good.

The legitimate rule of Great Qian was by humans. Qin Muye was not human, and neither were Spirit Monsters, which certainly did not meet the requirements of “Lord Era.”

Not that there weren’t any humans, but they were all arranged way back in the palace.

Below, there were Snake-men, creature looking like dogs with pointy ears, and other large bunches of messy creatures wearing court robes, among them the winged, faceless humanoids.

In this regard, Qin Muye thought it was just stupid.

In this regard, Qin Muye approved everything: just leaving his official seal and court robes behind as he could leave; no need to consult him one by one.

The counterpart was Ye Yin, Minister of Ministry of Industry, and Family Head of Ye Family, not a human.

For all Alien Clans, the existence of Great Qian was their stumbling block.

And if anyone above the ninth rank forcibly made a move on him, it would directly trigger natural and man-made disasters.

Then he just left by himself. Though his identity was that of a Puppet Emperor, the identity was still somewhat useful, at least the Qian Dynasty’s prosperity was still on him.

Moreover, besides the Great Qian Dynasty, there actually existed the Eastern Yi, Southern Barbarians, Western Rong, and Beidi, all supported by these Alien Clan noble families.

The fate of the nation was closely linked to that of the Qian Dynasty.

Fortunately, “Lord Era” soon provided him with some intelligence and demands, his mission here being to restore the orthodoxy of the Great Qian Dynasty and bring about its rejuvenation.

The fortune of the Qian Dynasty had weakened considerably as a result of this.

The eunuch beside him wouldn’t even glance sideways, seeming not to hear Qin Muye’s words at all. Normally, when these words were spoken, the eunuch would declare the court adjourned.

The motive was simple, to weaken the fortune of Great Qian.

At present, the entire court of the Great Qian had been occupied by this group of Aliens, and even the predecessor of Qin Muye, the previous Emperor Qian, had recently had a fatal accident by falling into water, after which “Lord Era” had replaced him to lend a hand.

You don’t play by the rules at all, but soon others reacted as well, calling out to resign their offices.

So did other aliens.

Qin Muye had thought about fleeing, but he found that the world was sealed off. He could only leave by fulfilling the requirements; otherwise, he shouldn’t think about leaving this world.

After obtaining the relevant information, Qin Muye was somewhat baffled.

Qin Muye’s absurd remarks made all the Alien officials look at each other and then breathe a sigh of relief internally, thinking he must be an idiot to say such things.

Letting the Spirit Monster kill everyone? It’s not realistic. This is a level 9 world, and a Spirit Monster is only level 8 and not quite up to par.

Family name Su, first name Shu, Minister of Revenue, belonging to the Su Family, which is one of the great families along with the Ye Family.

Three Palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines? Forget about it, he had just ascended to the throne, he had none at all. The former Emperor had them, but they were all sent to guard the Imperial Mausoleum, which made Qin Muye quite depressed.

After casually choosing one of the cause and effect worlds, Qin Muye found himself arranged there.

Thus, Qin Muye was confined within this protective barrier; if he wanted to make a move, he had to break the barrier first, but breaking it would mean the mission failed outright.

He was a man who strictly abided by labor laws, he wouldn’t stop you from resigning, but don’t expect any N+1 compensation; after all, he wasn’t the one firing you.

This was no longer a case of being dragged down by teammates; rather, it was as if his teammates had deliberately increased his difficulty.

The leaders of these people were all level 8 beings. As for level 9, they had not been found yet, nor was it known where they were hiding.

It was like the payment was made in advance, not waiting for the mission to be completed before paying; this was also quite generous.

Otherwise, it would take only ten minutes to resolve all Alien issues and restore the orthodoxy.

One by one, Spirit Monsters were dispatched, spreading continuously from the center of the Great Qian Emperor through their mimicry abilities.

Before long, various pieces of intelligence would begin to flow in continuously.

This made the subordinate Aliens puzzled, questioning how his demeanor had changed. The newly ascended young Emperor was timid and dared not do anything before, but now he seemed to exude a carefree and lax attitude.

It was easy to understand this matter, but the problem was… who was the legitimate ruler?

If they really fought fiercely and called out “GG”, those Alien and the noble families surely had level 9 beings.

For the moment, the opponent had disguised themselves. In Qin Muye’s eyes, it was a Night Demon, but in the eyes of the Human Clan, it was a human.

But when he spoke these words, there wasn’t any response at all, for he was just a newly appointed Puppet Emperor. No one listened to him.

As for how the former Emperor Qian accidentally fell into the water, it was simple—Aliens couldn’t make a move, but the Human Clan could.

As for the Human Clan, they were naturally suppressed. Where were any noble families to be seen, for whether it was the Chief of Staff or anyone else in high office, none were human.

And in the future? Forget about it. Given the situation just now, it wouldn’t be surprising if he too met with an accident by falling into the water in a few days.

After doing all this, he leisurely returned to his own empty and deserted sleeping quarters.
