Chapter 819: Chapter 34: The End of Year 34 of the Jingxin Calendar, Return to the Dream Palace!
Actually, King Heavenly Destiny didn’t say anything to him at all, but Liu Tianning doesn’t know.
King Heavenly Destiny is a Fate Officer, and a significant portion of the information Liu Tianning knows also comes from the Fate Officer institution.
"My cultivation progress is faster than you imagined, I have already mastered top-level skills," Zhao Xing said. "And not just one kind."
"The future holds both danger and opportunity, and I don’t want to miss out."
"Moreover, every move you make in your position will attract attention, and transferring me now might cause controversy."
Zhao Xing has been preparing for over ten years, and it’s impossible for him to flee at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Liu Tianning fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he nodded his head and said, "Alright, I will make arrangements immediately."
"Thank you, Teacher."
For other positions, making transfers is not that easy, but the positions of transmission envoy and inspector are relatively easy.
Moreover, it’s a lateral transfer that doesn’t involve the fortune blessing of a promotion, so the process will be quick.
"Be careful," Liu Tianning said, "If there’s an emergency, run towards the Princess Mansion."
Princess You Ruo’s mansion is naturally very safe.
"Yes," Zhao Xing nodded. If he really had to flee, Princess You Ruo’s Mansion wouldn’t be the first choice; Xuantian Academy would be.
...
After disconnecting the communication, Zhao Xing closed his eyes in thought.
"Lao Liu probably predicted the future chaos in Pinghai State through the Fate Officers."
"The possibility of such a future is uncertain, but at this moment, the likelihood of Prince Liang’s rebellion has definitely increased, which is why he’s busy, and King Heavenly Destiny suddenly went into seclusion and lost contact."
The court certainly knows about the future chaos; Fate Officers aren’t just freeloaders.
However, as long as events haven’t occurred yet, it’s impossible to cut off someone for a future issue.
Even if Prince Liang rebels at 7:30 AM, he is still Prince Liang at 7:15 AM.
"If Prince Liang rebels in thirty-five years, the end of thirty-four is the last chance to leave Pinghai State."
"Once he splits the National Fate, it’ll be impossible to leave, and Liu Tianning is considering this when planning to arrange for me to leave," Zhao Xing thought.
Fortune and fate complement each other.
The splitting of the National Fate will create immense causal entanglements in Pinghai State.
The Qi Fortune of the two camps are opposing.
By then, there will only be two choices: rebel or counter-rebel.
No middle ground; otherwise, you’ll suffer backlash.
If successful, there’s a fortune reward; if defeated, it’s death and Dao disappears.
"This is the right time to rise up with momentum."
"Not just Pinghai State, but Lvliang State as well; however, Pinghai State is the largest battleground for fortune contention."
Zhao Xing opened his eyes, walked out of the Earth God Temple, and flew to the sky above.
"At this moment, there’s no obvious fortune fluctuation in Pinghai State."
"Apart from the Fortune Officers and a handful of others who can perceive subtle abnormalities, everyone else is unaware."
After observing for a while, the Golden Dragon shape already appeared on the fortune light shield.
"When the Fortune Golden Dragon ascends to the heavens, countless dragon spirits representing individuals will split from the Fortune Dynasty’s system in Pinghai State."
"Heroes emerge, dragons ascend to the heavens, mutually devouring," Zhao Xing looked south.
At this moment, he hadn’t yet observed Prince Liang’s Black Dragon.
"However, if he rebels next year, he’s probably already started secretly devouring fortune this year; it’s just that I can’t see it now," Zhao Xing thought.
In a unified dynasty, the situation of ’individual fortune like a dragon, integrating with heaven and earth’s fortune, like a dragon swimming through the Nine Heavens’ won’t occur.
"Buzz~"
The clouds dispersed, and Zhao Xing reappeared in the Earth God Temple.
"Zhao Xing, have you received any news?" Chen Shijie suddenly rushed out anxiously.
"Old Chen, my condolences."
Chen Shijie’s eyes were slightly red, his voice a bit hoarse: "I heard from Long Xiao that the Marquis was murdered, and even his soul can’t be summoned back, is this true?"
Zhao Xing sighed inwardly, nodded: "It looks very likely, waiting for the official announcement for confirmation."
"I’ve asked around, besides the think tank considering it a conspiracy theory, others believe the Marquis unfortunately died in battle."
"Is the transfer order normal?" Chen Shijie asked.
"Normal."
"Was there any rescue effort?"
"Rescue was too late."
"Was there any mistake in the intelligence?"
"Yes, but three Standard Fourth Rank officials were beheaded by Prince Liang for this incident."
He didn’t need to hide it from Chen Shijie, as he wouldn’t lose his rationality.
"Why?" Chen Shijie was somewhat distraught. "Why won’t he let go of the Marquis, not even giving him a chance for his soul to return to his hometown?"
Zhao Xing shook his head: "Supposedly, Prince Liang summoned the Marquis to discuss matters half a year ago, but it wasn’t a public military meeting, so the Marquis excused himself."
"Connecting this matter seems far-fetched... The transfer order wasn’t even issued by Prince Liang himself, but by another ruling Sealing King."
Chen Shijie smiled bitterly: "So, the death of three fourth-rank officials in exchange for the Marquis and five thousand Divine Might Army lives?"
Zhao Xing remained silent.
The higher rank crushes people to death, let alone in a complex battlefield; the commander could easily kill those with disparate minds!
If Zhao Xing were in Prince Liang’s position, he would also have countless ways to kill Yang An.
If he wants to rebel, he’d also need to reduce unstable elements; Yang An, a Sword Cultivator General with exceptional talent, who isn’t of like mind, is a target to be killed.
Sending him to be killed by the Southern Barbarians also offers a token of defection.
"Old Chen..."
"You don’t need to comfort me," Chen Shijie waved his hand, "I won’t act impulsively..."
"Where are you going?"
"To handle government affairs."
Chen Shijie’s back looked extremely powerless.
Prince Liang is a First-rank Prince, now bearing the national fate to conquer the Barbarians, wielding great power, almost a Super First-class.
Against such an enemy, what can Chen Shijie do?
