Chapter 1863: 508: Give a Peach, Repay with a Plum—About to Blossom

In fact, the Ancient Sea God had speculated before, because altering some events within Dadui always became particularly difficult. Ninety-nine percent of the time, there were no changes at all, meaning even the River of Time would not leave a log of operations.

The very few times when changes did occur, it was merely minor details altered, with no significant impact on the process or outcome.

Any slight change was recorded in the River of Time.

He could have many guesses, for example, that Dadui's circumstances were special, inherently more challenging than other Divine Dynasties, which seemed normal.

But now, it became entirely certain as to why.

He merely saw Yu Ziqing, and always felt that what Yu Ziqing was doing now was anchoring the world with his own abilities.

The bigwigs of the past, including the unalterable Old Emperor Qian, could not act so recklessly.

Yu Ziqing could, because Yu Ziqing's labels were almost maxed out.

When you list out the titles, they're like something from myth and legend.

King of Hungry Ghosts, Dao Opener of Hungry Ghost Dao, Emperor Dui, Lord of the Immortal Grass Old Stump, Kun Character Carrier Land Controller, the only breeder of Immortal Grass, Earth Devil Venerate, Earth Deity Origin Controller, Funeral Mourners of All Gods, Refining God and Body Connector, etc...

Among these titles, picking just one at random, conservatively speaking, at least more than half belong to an unalterable sequence.

Even someone of the Mountain Lord's level, just in terms of titles, couldn't compare to Yu Ziqing.

Yu Ziqing felt the power entwining around the Ancient Sea God but did nothing.

He understood more than Shi that after the Ancient Sea God was influenced, there would be changes.

Generally, someone in such a situation might retreat.

But an existence like the Ancient Sea God, encountering such a situation, would only be spurred to advance continually, never conceding easily, becoming increasingly extreme, all of which was predictable.

Yu Ziqing felt that the backup plan he had been pondering was still necessary.

As for the specific content of this plan, it can be discussed further.

Yu Ziqing thought it was better not to provoke the Ancient Sea God any further, to quit while ahead.

Just then, he sensed Empress Qian's eyes move slightly and immediately twisted the finger with its point on her forehead, stretched out two other fingers to touch her eyelids.

"If you don't want to end up blind like me, it's best not to open your eyes, seal your vision."

Having confirmed the current state of the Ancient Sea God, Yu Ziqing cut off the connection.

That uncomfortable feeling dissipated along with it.

Every time he felt the presence of the Ancient Sea God, or saw it, he would develop this feeling.

It's a natural repulsion to uncertain, yet dangerous things.

Yu Ziqing withdrew his hand, flipped through his storage ring, and pulled out a piece of black cloth he previously used in experiments, handing it to Empress Qian.

"This thing, consider it a gift for you. Best wear it for now, or else there might be subsequent dangers."

Empress Qian was a bit frightened, because this sensing used her as a medium.

She dared not look, dared not sense, clinging desperately to her mind, which barely held together.

Because whether it was the confronting Yu Ziqing or the Ancient Sea God, the moment they established a connection, their rank was already enough to overwhelm her.

Merely a glance was unbearable.

Daring to perceive, a mental breakdown would be the least of it.

Empress Qian steadied her mind, immediately bowed in thanks, knowing without asking that what Yu Ziqing gave was no ordinary black cloth.

Even if it was an experimental product, later discarded by Yu Ziqing, it wouldn't be common material.

But at this moment, it was to reach an agreement with Emperor Qian and gain his support, making the subsequent tasks easier.

A small gift, prudent and economical.

Emperor Qian expressed his gratitude to Yu Ziqing, personally helping to blindfold the obviously frightened Empress Qian with the black cloth.

He previously didn't know Empress Qian had been through many alterations.

Now knowing this, it actually made no difference.

The Ancient Sea God couldn't directly alter the results, changing a person's nature was also a gradual accumulation through small events, amassing benefits, and developing like a snowball until the final outcome was changed.

For everyone, these were indeed events that truly occurred.

Even to Yu Ziqing, all of the processes truly happened.

Currently, Emperor Qian relies heavily on Empress Qian and highly values her maternal family's influence.

Securing his military authority is essential for him to maintain his position.

Yu Ziqing said little more, as he understood many events had been altered and could not be reverted.

The details he knew, he had no intention of revealing as it would only create friction.

His feelings toward Daqian were unimportant, but allowing Daqian to follow in Dadui's footsteps from back then was absolutely unacceptable, as it would make everyone pay the price.

Like a neighbor's house catching fire, no matter how unpleasant they are to you, upon discovering it, you can't just sit there munching melon seeds laughing.

Many problems between Divine Dynasties can't simply be reduced to binary choices.

Previously, Emperor Qian harbored some doubts, but his trust in Yu Ziqing stemmed purely from Yu Ziqing having no reason to privately meet and deceive him with such exaggerated matters.

Now, observing Empress Qian's reaction, after exchanging a look with her, he realized everything was true.

He recalled hearing before that when Yu Ziqing was bored, he would wander around Dadui, even visiting villages to freeload meals.
