Chapter 681 -683: Surviving Means Saving Sixty Years of Detours

“It’s resolved, dealing with this almost had me rebounding from rock bottom,” Qin Muye complained.

Many from the Alien Clan had been captured—except for the four Barbarians and other scattered members of the Alien Clan. An 8th tier, She Xi, managed to escape. Qin Muye could only admit it was expected of a Snake-man with strong backing.

Currently, all visible high-end forces had been eradicated, with most 8th tier Alien Clans gathered in the Imperial City. As for those like the four Barbarian groups which did not possess an 8th tier, they were thus relegated to the harsh peripheries.

“You’ve arranged for Chen Liuhuan and Bai Xu to head south and reclaim our lost territories without much issue, but how will you deal with those government officials and local tyrants holed up everywhere who are loyal dogs to the Alien Clan families?”

“It’s not easy to kill them, but if we really started killing, Great Qian might suffer a drop in national destiny.”

Ji Shan had also figured out some mechanisms of national destiny over these days. Essentially, these were parts of the families. Though their main stems had been uprooted by them, countless tiny roots ingrained in the flesh ran throughout the body, and uprooting them one by one was no easy task.

“Take things slowly. The officials will have to be replaced sooner or later. As for those tyrants and rich families, have you ever heard of ‘the commoners do not fight against the officials’?”

“Things are not the same as before. Do you really think we’ll let them create new conflicts like when the Alien Clan was in charge?”

“We hold the guns. If they cooperate, we’ll give them some face. If not, we’ll send their whole families on their way. By then, replace them with Spirit Monsters, and it’s like the national destiny hasn’t changed.”

Qin Muye didn’t care much, since he wasn’t the one doing the work, so it didn’t bother him.

Knowing the general policy was enough for him; he didn’t need to handle such detailed minutiae.

“How is the preparation for the site and resources needed for the Creation of the Primordial Dragon going?” Qin Muye asked.

“How should I know? I’m not the mysterious agent,” Ji Shan retorted.

Qin Muye was frustrated: “I wasn’t asking you…”

“We’re scouting candidates. If things go smoothly, the Historian of the Qintian Bureau should make a submission,” the Evangelical Spirit Monster interjected.

“Wait, I remember the Qintian Bureau has no appointed Historian yet,” Ji Shan was puzzled.

“Exactly, so we’ll use the Creation of the Primordial Dragon as a chance to pick one,” the Evangelical Spirit Monster said, noting it was simpler that way. The Historian of the Qintian Bureau was inherently meant for research and development, so letting him adapt in advance was beneficial.

Basically, once the Primordial Dragon was created, whoever wasn’t driven insane would be appointed as the Historian.

Ji Shan understood the implication then.

“No wonder you said it’s simpler. After mastering such a project and coming back not insane, that person is definitely talented,” Ji Shan also complained.

Even Mauk Stars couldn’t bear it back then, let alone others.

“Don’t worry, this is a high martial world. Although Martial Arts could not develop due to the Alien Clan, the high-energy environment here is much more benevolent than in the Weird Universe. At least, there’s less worry about everyone going mad,” Qin Muye was contemplating getting involved himself, but external conditions did not permit it.

If that group of Alien Clans were exposed to the national destiny, they would turn to ashes instantly.

Otherwise, he would definitely do it himself, leaving it to Spirit Monsters instead. Regular people were more for assistance, as there weren’t many who could stay mentally stable through the whole experiment.

Even in the Weird Universe, when the first Primordial Dragon was created, many went insane.

The profound psychological scars from deep-seated horror and resentment were the same for anyone, hence Spirit Monsters were made the primary operatives, though supportive personnel, that is, the Historian of the Qintian Bureau, had to be trained too.

Of course, if there were a few who didn’t go mad, they’d be crammed into the Qintian Bureau, not just as historians but in many other positions as well.

If this led to some psychological instability in the first generation of Qintian Bureau’s upper echelon, it was no big deal. Instead, it might even lead to burst inspirations and specific sudden enlightenments, possibly leading to the development of some powerful Martial Arts Techniques suited to the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi environment.

Such occurrences were quite normal. Even though they might lead to some minor problems, they could rapidly advance the civilization’s progress. Any flaws were inconsequential, as they could be gradually refined by future generations.

“You’re causing such trouble for them, be careful they might not complete the task in the end…” Ji Shan complained.

“How can this be called a disaster? It’s teaching. Although the death rate has increased a tiny bit, anyone who can get out of this project is guaranteed employment and a prosperous official career. It can cut down sixty years of detours,” Qin Muye said with righteousness.

“But on the other hand, how will you solve the problem with She Xi and the Snake-man? There might also be a possibility of an existence that could blow up the entire Alien Clan. I suspect it’s hidden somewhere. That’s a major crisis,” Ji Shan translated, which meant that there are two good things hidden somewhere waiting for you to claim.

The Snake-man and that existence are indeed very dangerous, but they also correspond to benefits. Once Qin Muye acquires them, he wouldn’t just be able to walk sideways; he would become one of the top figures.

“Just wait a little longer, the fate of our nation is bound to me. With the current concentration, I cannot leave the Imperial City anymore. I can only stay in the Imperial Palace. If we ever reclaim the lost lands and reorganize our nation, I will most likely end up on the Dragon Throne,” Qin Muye had no choice since this thing was directly bound to him.

His current situation in the history of the Great Qian is unprecedented.

Generally, Emperors are not bound by the nation’s fortune like this, mainly because his case is quite unique.

In other words, the nation’s fortune of Great Qian believes that Qin Muye can lead it to glory, so it won’t let him resign and even wants him to be the Emperor for life.

This situation is indeed very rare, probably due to the manifestation of his Transcendence.

Qin Muye could technically flee, but without a successor, the consequences would be dire.

So, he just had to temporarily serve as a figurehead. What else could he do when the mission was critical?

“However, once the Primordial Dragon is completed, I can use it to temporarily take my place,” Qin Muye had thought of using an avatar, but the problem was severe, as an avatar is actually him as well, and would also be covered by the nation’s fortune.

Even Spirit Monsters are somewhat considered Qin Muye. It’s still manageable now, but it’s uncertain later.

It must be said, the fate of the Destiny Dynasty of Great Qian is truly terrifying, with growth methods involving the coexistence and symbiosis with the Transcendent that Qin Muye finds incomprehensible.

The nation’s fortune of Great Qian doesn’t suppress the Transcendent of the Human Clan; it only suppresses that of the Alien Clan, meaning insiders are fine, but outsiders are severely restricted.

It just so happens… Qin Muye isn’t human…

This has led to the current situation where the nation’s fortune of Great Qian both favors and disdains Qin Muye.

The situation will be resolved once he abdicates and another takes over. He won’t have to worry about being suppressed by the nation’s fortune. By that time, with the Primordial Dragon and the status of Supreme Emperor, as long as he doesn’t kill the Emperor, he won’t be suppressed by the nation’s fortune of Great Qian and might even be able to harness its power.

“This is just absurd… A formidable, indescribable Evil God sitting on a golden toilet, and not loyal at all,” Ji Shan couldn’t stand the ludicrous points.

“Otherwise, I go and play the role of a Subspace Evil God… let’s endure for forty millennia, and then…”

Listening to Ji Shan’s grand scheming plans, Qin Muye wasn’t surprised at all, and even wanted to join in the fun.

“I have no objections to causing mischief, but who will bring Huangfu Xing?” Qin Muye retorted.

Ji Shan fell silent.

It wasn’t feasible for Qin Muye to bring him, but it seemed improper to bring him along while causing trouble.

“How about… we first let Spirit Monsters in the Endless Abyss take care, since those engaged in breeding are quite skilled at it?” Ji Shan tentatively suggested.

“They would be ready in thirty days…” Qin Muye considered it for a moment. The ability of the Profession Spirit Monsters could really make it happen.

But ready in thirty days isn’t the same as growing up in thirty days. Besides, it didn’t follow the rules. If they matured in a month, Qin Muye might accept it, but the nation’s fortune of Great Qian probably wouldn’t.

“Cough… Then I’ll first create a Subspace, since my Martial Arts haven’t borne fruit yet, it should be about right by the time I finish,” Ji Shan still didn’t want to give up.

“…” Qin Muye was speechless but thought Ji Shan made some sense.

“Just be careful not to unearth the Sealing site of the Snake-man; if we really end up finding it, I’ll have to smash you into him,” Qin Muye cautioned.

“You can trust me to handle it right above our heads!” Ji Shan said.
