Chapter 714 -716: Solution to the Sin against Heaven

“So this disaster was actually a man-made calamity?”

In the Imperial Study Room, Huangfu Xing wore an expression that screamed ‘are you kidding me right now?’

“We need to be precise with our words. Neither I nor the Snake Father belong to the human species according to the taxonomic classification,” Qin Muye stated seriously.

“Is this really about species? I’ve just ascended the Dragon Throne and here you are, dad, stirring up this mess for me. By tomorrow I might be charged with offenses against the heavens,” Huangfu Xing said with a hint of helplessness.

Qin Muye fell silent for a moment, considering whether or not to disclose his plans to seal the Three Divine Emperors. Technically, they could be regarded as heaven itself…

“This problem is easily solved. I’ll take care of it for you.” In the end, Qin Muye couldn’t help but relent.

“You’re going to help me!” Huangfu Xing’s eyes lit up.

“Yes, I plan to seal away the heavens. That way, even if you were to offend the heavens, nothing would happen to you,” Qin Muye said earnestly.

Huangfu Xing: “???”

Is this even human language? Isn’t the normal procedure supposed to involve assisting with disaster relief and management or something? How did we get to sealing away the heavens? This is certainly not normal thinking.

“Thanks a lot~ I really didn’t expect you to have this kind of solution up your sleeve,” Huangfu Xing felt utterly drained.

Qin Muye’s solution did indeed eradicate the root of the problem. After all, if the heavens no longer existed, how could one be charged with offenses against them? Aside from no help whatsoever, everything else was pretty good.

“Hmm, don’t mention it.” Qin Muye lounged back with an air of indifference.

“You dealt with the Snake Father, but She Xi is still out there. With your magnanimity, dad, I can’t believe you’d let him be,” Huangfu Xing inquired.

She Xi, still alive, remained a menace in any case.

“It’s up to you to handle that. If I have to deal personally with such a minor lackey, then what use are you?” Qin Muye suggested he was only responsible for the bigger issues and didn’t care about the smaller ones. If Huangfu Xing really couldn’t deal with She Xi… well, then he couldn’t.

It wasn’t a big deal after all. If She Xi regained his strength, Huangfu Xing might not even have ashes left to claim, so there was no need to worry.

If it caused trouble in the meantime, even better; just deal with it and move on.

If it was really an unsolvable issue, then the power of Great Qian Country would be on the decline, which could be many years from now. By then, Qin Muye’s mission would be long complete.

“Even you can’t find him. How do you expect me to do it?” Huangfu Xing grumbled, though he didn’t take it too seriously, knowing that if Qin Muye said so, then She Xi was no longer a significant threat.

“So now that you’re free, are you planning to return as Emperor? Let’s transfer the power now, then,” Huangfu Xing suddenly changed the topic, pondering whether he could abdicate and let Qin Muye ascend so he himself could wander freely.

The Destiny Dynasty of Great Qian Country also seemed to agree, as Qin Muye being Emperor had far more benefits than Huangfu Xing in the role.

“Wishful thinking! I’m here to be the Supreme Emperor, the one who enjoys leisure without the work,” Qin Muye rolled his eyes and found a new position to relax in.

“Dad, what do you think are the chances of a successful coup with me offering you the throne? If I use this upcoming charge of offending the heavens as an excuse to force you into power, you’ll have to ascend whether you like it or not,” Huangfu Xing began to plan.

“Guess whether there will be candles and axes after your coup. Do you want to be minced into a paste or ground into a sauce before being resurrected?” Qin Muye spoke ominously.

The young man didn’t learn his historical lessons well, only thinking about how to escape responsibility.

“Let’s not twist the true meaning when citing classics. Without eight hundred guards armed with axes, how could it result in being chopped into a paste?” Huangfu Xing believed every word.

“Then let me simplify it for you, the entire court is under my control. If I don’t agree to you abdicating, do you think any of them will support you?” Qin Muye scoffed, as if to say, ‘just try and run away.’ He had spent seventeen years on the golden commode; there was no way he was going back to that.

“As long as I stand firm, I don’t believe they would dare to defy their monarch and father,” Huangfu Xing insisted he wanted to give it a shot.

As for Qin Muye, he implied trying would be the end of Huangfu Xing.

After some entanglement, Huangfu Xing also understood that compared to Qin Muye, he didn’t have a single card in hand and could only be honestly tethered here as the Emperor.

Being the Emperor might be a cause for overwhelming joy for the average person, but for Huangfu Xing, it was different. Just look at his dad and his brother, both entirely above mundane world affairs like two oddities, while he was the only one confined within rules; how could he stand it when he too wanted to indulge in carefree adventures.

Unfortunately, he had been designated.

Thankfully, there was a term limit; roughly speaking, after he revitalized Great Qian and trained a successor, he could then make a run for it.

“Speaking of which, what exactly are you doing back here? With Snake Father dealt with, shouldn’t you be searching for that so-called abnormal fate entity, just like my brother?” asked Huangfu Xing, somewhat puzzled.

“That thing is pretty much equivalent to God Almighty himself,” Qin Muye didn’t hide the truth and went on to explain the subsequent affairs.

“You want to suppress the Destiny Dynasty system and develop the Martial Arts System?” Huangfu Xing furrowed his brow. As the current Emperor, from his perspective, he should be developing the Destiny Dynasty system and giving support to the Martial Arts System.

For rulers, the Martial Arts System leaned towards instability: heroes could violate the law with martial might, and if one killed a court-appointed official and then fled far away, even a sea arrest warrant might not be effective—after all, if someone killed and ran with no witnesses, how could they be captured?

On the contrary, with the Destiny Dynasty system in place, as long as Great Qian lasted and the country’s fortune remained unextinguished, the court officials would hold transcendent status.

Now, Qin Muye’s actions could not exactly be called self-sabotage, but they were still akin to cutting the lifespan of the nation in half.

“You’ve just assumed the throne and already have your mindset in order, not bad,” Qin Muye praised. This kid was cut out for the job; he truly was worthy of being groomed by him. Reluctant as he was, the kid had proved to be very dedicated once in the position.

“However, if we keep using this Destiny Dynasty system, it won’t be a question of whether Great Qian might run into trouble, but rather, it will be a problem for you all. Surely you don’t expect me to go and clash directly with the Supreme Emperor again, do you?”

“We barely handled Snake Father, and that overbearing situation still caused such turmoil. Imagine what would happen if I really started fighting with the Supreme Emperor. Do you think Great Qian could survive that?”

“Even if you wanted to maintain the status quo, have you considered the consequences now that the Supreme Emperor has acquired Snake Father’s spiritual essence and gained self-awareness?”

Qin Muye barraged him with several questions, leaving Huangfu Xing silent. He had always taken for granted that the Destiny Dynasty system was beneficial for him and thus should be preserved. However, it now seemed to be a major disaster.

“So Dad, how confident are you?” At this point, Huangfu Xing could only ask this.

“I don’t know. I can only discuss the specifics after I find the Supreme Emperor. He’s no ordinary being.” Qin Muye felt that dealing with such deities akin to the rules of heaven and earth was quite tricky, especially since the other party now might have a mind of their own, unlike the purely rule-bound Gendaya Mother God.

From the current situation of the Supreme Emperor, it was possible that he had a mind, albeit not a very active one, just a tad more active than the Gendaya Mother God.

But just this tad was enough to cause a shift in the situation.

‘Even if it’s sealing, the opponent’s mind must be extracted; otherwise, what will we do if they manage to escape with their mind intact?’ Since Qin Muye had decided on sealing rather than killing, he certainly had to be more cautious.

The strength of a seal could naturally fluctuate between a normal person and a vegetative patient.

And the opponent’s mind was related to Snake Father’s spiritual essence. In this regard, he was still researching, and with the Ouroboros stone sculpture that belonged to Snake Father’s Supreme Sequence, the research was relatively straightforward—the sculpture’s composition was entirely spiritual.

“Tsk, that really puts you in a tight spot. And here I thought you were planning to lay back in the harem,” said Huangfu Xing.

“Speaking of the harem, I remember about a decade ago someone sent a batch of people in for me. Did you take care of it?” Qin Muye suddenly recalled that he seemed to have deceived some people back then.

“After you took care of those Alien Clan noble families, Black Hand relocated everyone from the harem and saw to their proper placement,” recalled Huangfu Xing, something he had only learned about the day before.

“So it seems you can’t inherit my harem and have to recruit on your own. That’s such a pity,” Qin Muye said somewhat regretfully.

“Damn, what’s there to regret about that? I’ve heard of inheriting fortunes, but never of inheriting widows…” Huangfu Xing snorted in retort.

“Isn’t it convenient? It saves you from having to look for yourself,” Qin Muye stated righteously.

“That’s something which can’t be skimped on. Besides, I’ve never seen you economizing in that area,” rebutted Huangfu Xing.

“I never maintained a harem to begin with. It’s directly a 100% savings by not establishing one, way more economical than you,” Qin Muye declared that he had only intended to annoy some people at the time and hadn’t really planned on keeping a harem; otherwise, he wouldn’t have just remembered the matter now.
