"Huala~" The paper crane burned, transforming into the silhouette of Zhao Xing."It’s you." Fang Yu’s face turned cold; as far as he was concerned, Wuma Lixing’s eight rivers were reduced to seven purely because of that dumb pig Zhao Feiyang sitting in this position.
He always looked at results, not the process. The fact was Zhao Feiyang failed to protect the riverways, causing his army to be unable to pass, so why were there so many excuses?
"General Fang, I can restore all the riverways within three months, but I need the cooperation of your Black Feather Army," Zhao Xing got straight to the point.
"Earlier, you refused to see me, pushed me around, and now you’re cooperating?" Fang Yu mocked.
"Two and a half months!" Zhao Xing ignored his mockery: "If they aren’t restored, I will write a confession letter myself and submit it, then let the General decide my fate."
Fang Yu’s eyes shifted slightly.
Zhao Xing’s gesture was essentially volunteering to be the scapegoat, taking all the responsibility, which somewhat exceeded Fang Yu’s expectations.
In fact, Zhao Xing was also making a desperate move; his position was too low. If he didn’t have a corresponding status in the Transmission Realm, he wouldn’t dare to fully display his strength.
After all, ’Zhao Feiyang’ was just a fourth-grade River Official, Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm, suddenly comparable to a Lord-level? It would surely lead to a fictional historical event!
Since staying here, Zhao Xing had to find a way to solve the current predicament.
If he could elevate his official rank, he might be able to turn passive into proactive.
He remembered Bo Wei’s treatment plan mentioned that in the Heaven Leisure Ancient Country, there were two forces capable of resolving part of the True Spirit Heavenly Poison.
Only if the official rank is big enough can he find the Five Poison Emperor and Zuo Qiyu.
"How do you want me to cooperate?" Fang Yu maintained his cold demeanor.
......
Solar Years of the 22nd epoch in the Desolate Domain, Heaven Leisure Ancient Country, national capital.
Jing Yue, Five Poison Emperor, Zuo Qiyu, and Fan Ye, due to possessing Boundary Jade, descended together as a group, so they quickly gathered.
"Hum Kakum~~"
The Heavenly Mechanism Disc in Jing Yue’s hand rotated, starting to search for Zhao Xing’s location.
As long as they were in the same space-time, they would surely be able to find Zhao Xing.
"How’s it going?" Five Poison Emperor asked.
"Strange..." Jing Yue frowned, "Logically, Zhao Xing’s Cause and Effect protection was done by the Heavenly Master Mansion; I’ve calculated there should be no problem, but now it seems there’s been a mistake."
"What mistake?" Five Poison Emperor asked.
Jing Yue said: "Zhao Xing didn’t use Boundary Jade and couldn’t use the historical registry, so in the Transmission Realm, he is an unknown nobody, his starting status must be very low."
"Initially, I couldn’t find his presence."
"But midway, it seems he was found."
"The deduced result shows Zhao Xing is in a crucial area of Heaven Leisure Ancient Country’s Imperial Palace, and his position is extremely high."
"How high?" Zuo Qiyu responded indifferently.
Jing Yue shook the Heavenly Mechanism Disc again to specifically calculate Zhao Xing’s identity, status, and permissions in the Transmission Realm.
Soon, the Heavenly Mechanism Disc stopped, with a slightly peculiar expression: "This thing must be broken; I must have calculated wrong."
"What is it, just say it quickly." Five Poison Emperor was impatient, "Why are people from the Heavenly Master Mansion always so dawdling?"
Jing Yue had a strange expression, saying: "The deduced result is, Zhao Xing’s identity represents authority sufficient to mobilize enough energy to kill us."
"Then it is really broken." Five Poison Emperor sneered, "Kill all of us? Both Zuo Qiyu and I are Emperor-level; could he even mobilize a Demigod?"
At this time in Heaven Leisure Ancient Country, the number of Demigods could be counted on one hand.
"It should be an error." Jing Yue agreed, "Let me search again."
"Jing Yue’s deduction, may not necessarily be wrong." Suddenly, Fan Ye, who hadn’t spoken, began to speak.
Huala~~
A history book appeared within him, pages flipping continuously, Green History River surrounding him, countless silhouettes reflected in his eyes.
"What do you mean?" Jing Yue was stunned.
"Initially, you couldn’t find Zhao Xing; the time point of his descent must be different from ours." Fan Ye contemplated: "Suppose Zhao Xing descended earlier than us; using the ’Time Cause Method’ to find someone, fundamentally the calculation would be invalid."
Jing Yue nodded; the Fate Master’s Time Cause Method, if the time point was wrong, it would be wrong from the start, a spell specially created targeting the Transmission Realm.
"But why did she later find him in such detail, in the Imperial Palace, with such a high position and power, narrowing it down significantly?" Five Poison Emperor puzzled.
"Based on my earlier hypothesis." Fan Ye manipulated the Green History River: "Zhao Xing descended earlier than us."
"If he stayed in Heaven Leisure Ancient Country, achieved greatness, climbed upward, he could indeed transform from an unknown supporting role into a historical [Famous People] level."
"Meaning, even though the starting point differs, he indeed exists in this space-time, not leaving the territory of Heaven Leisure Ancient Country, without causing fictional events outside the Transmission Realm."
"In brief, he has always been within the story, not outside of it."
"I understand." Five Poison Emperor realized, "At this moment in the Primordial Realm, there should also be a Five Poison Emperor and Zuo Qiyu, but since we’re not in this Transmission Realm, we effectively don’t exist. Suppose the Fate Master uses a spell to deduce, they cannot find us."
"That’s the meaning." Fan Ye nodded.
Jing Yue listened and couldn’t help but open his mouth wide: "Brother Fan, you mean Zhao Xing climbed step by step to the position predicted by my Heavenly Mechanism Disc before our time point?"
Hearing Jing Yue put it this way, both Five Poison Emperor and Zuo Qiyu realized something.
If Fan Ye and Jing Yue were right.
Then what did Zhao Xing experience before their time point to manage such an achievement?
"Could this kid have replaced the Tianyou Country Lord?" Five Poison Emperor’s face was filled with excitement.
"Impossible." Fan Ye shook his head, "My history book hasn’t detected any fictional historical events, meaning the Tianyou Country Lord is still the historical Tianyou Country Lord, unchanged."
"Huala~~~"
The sound of pages turning stopped, Fan Ye’s Green History River suddenly ceased.
A silhouette appeared in his viewpoint.
"What is this?"
Five Poison Emperor looked closely; the silhouette within the Green History River was essentially a dynamic image.
The image showed a young man patrolling the riverway while seated in a wheelchair.
"Wuma Constellation River Official, Zhao Feiyang." Fan Ye extracted the silhouette, transforming it into an illusory book, "This should be Zhao Xing’s past identity."
"I’ve browsed through the ’fictional history’ generated nearly ten thousand years within the Lixing Transmission Realm, examined all Sinong officials, and finally found him."
[Fictional History] is history generated when someone enters the Transmission Realm, not real history. In the entire Red Star Empire, there are not many historians capable of imprinting [Fictional History], Fan Ye is one of them.
"How are you sure?" Zuo Qiyu asked, somewhat curious.
"The garden chair is one factor, the traces he voluntarily left are the second." Fan Ye held the illusory ancient book.
"Through this, we can understand what Zhao Xing truly experienced."
