Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 194 Soul Scattered, Heaven-Mending Stone (5)

Perhaps it was because Emperor Yonghe knew that nothing he thought could escape the notice of this fragment of the stone used to mend the heavens.

So instead of making things up myself, I said directly:
"Can I understand it this way: you monsters and spirits, including those pseudo-immortals who want to deal with you, cannot harm me. No matter what I do for you, the pseudo-immortals cannot harm me!"

Is that what you mean? I want to be clearer!

Good heavens, Emperor Yonghe is now testing the waters, and he has stopped referring to himself as "I" and has started using "朕" (Zhen, the imperial "I").

However, Ding Shui didn't care and replied directly:

"I can only say that I have no way to directly harm you, but there should be many ways to do it indirectly. In the history of humankind, there are not many direct regicides; most are indirect regicides."

But don't worry, I will definitely protect you.

"Before, I was just a bit dim-witted and unaware of the wickedness of people's hearts. I was deceived by them and fell into their trap. Now, although I still don't know exactly how they plotted against me, dealing with them shouldn't be a problem, and protecting you shouldn't be either."

Hearing this, Emperor Yonghe became even more uneasy.

What does it mean to be stupid and easily fooled? Is it something that you can learn from your mistakes and grow wiser?
He really has a hard time putting his mind at ease!

However, Emperor Yonghe quickly asked again:

"The Stone of Heaven Mending, I think it's appropriate for me to call you that? So what exactly do you need me to do for you? Tell me first, and then I'll consider whether I agree or not."

Although he still had some worries, he was already on the wrong path, and at this point, even if he wanted to refuse, the Heaven-Mending Stone probably wouldn't agree. Besides, since the Heaven-Mending Stone had the ability to rejuvenate him, it might also have the ability to harm him…

Emperor Yonghe, who was used to daydreaming and pondering things in his mind, found it very difficult to change in a short time.

However, Ding Shui was too lazy to care about anything anymore:
"Actually, there are many ways to help me. For example, you can either completely seize power in the government, improve the living standards of the people, expand the territory, or even let me assist you in doing things that benefit the country and the people."

They can all be helpful to me.

However, these things are unlikely to be effective in the short term, so I can only ask you to do something that can help me immediately, such as giving me a very high-ranking imperial title.

For example, the stone used to mend the sky, the Five-Colored Goddess, and so on.

"Imperial conferment? You mean the conferment of gods, right? But it is said that this operation consumes a lot of fortune. It is rumored that the Song Dynasty was unable to completely unify the world because it conferred a large number of gods."

As Emperor Yonghe spoke.

I am trying my best to control my wild thoughts.

"Don't worry, it won't have that much of an impact. After all, you're not some real emperors or human sovereigns with absolute authority. It will only slightly deplete your fortune."

Don't worry, I'll make it up to you later..."

Ding Shui continued, and she wasn't lying either. They weren't some ancient human emperor, or someone who had cultivated the Heavenly Emperor's Conferment of Gods Technique and created a human dynasty. Although the Conferment of Gods Technique would consume one's fortune, the consumption was quite limited.

It was impossible for Ding Shui to be deified by him.

At most, what used to be a passive acceptance of the protection of the Humanitarian Dynasty's fortune has now become an active protection of the Humanitarian Dynasty's fortune.

The level of protection will simply be increased.

However, although Ding Shui said so, Emperor Yonghe was not necessarily convinced. But he couldn't openly express his doubts at this moment, so after his eyes darted around, he suddenly had an idea and asked again:

Can you change your appearance?

"You want me to impersonate the Imperial Seal of the State?"

Well, at the same time Emperor Yonghe came up with this idea, Ding Shui's spiritual power, which had been residing in his spiritual sea, naturally heard it immediately:
"Appearance can indeed be changed..."

"It can be changed. Think about it, whether I appoint you as the Heaven-Mending Divine Stone or the Five-Colored Primordial Lord, no one really has any impression of you."

Although Nuwa is the ancient goddess who created humankind, she actually has very few followers today. Most people know that she exists as an ancient goddess, but in terms of followers, she doesn't even have as many as the Four Great Bodhisattvas.

Even the goddess Nuwa doesn't have many followers.

Not to mention the last stone left over from mending the sky.

It was still just gravel.

However, the reputation of the Imperial Seal of the State is simply too great. Although I don't know if my understanding of destiny is the same as that of you cultivators, since the Nine Tripods were lost, the Imperial Seal of the State has basically replaced them, becoming the true symbol of the emperor and an object favored by the destiny of humanity.

"Yuan Shao only held the throne for a few days, but he died, and historical records will still state that he passed away."

"Since the Imperial Seal of the State was lost, no emperor has ever wanted to lose it. The imperial seals that were carved later were merely substitutes for the Imperial Seal of the State. No matter how fine the jade or how skilled the sculptor, they could never compare to the Imperial Seal of the State."

Even if you use ordinary jade to forge the Imperial Seal of the State, no matter how well the forgery is made, people will still question it in the end.

In case it is determined to be a forgery.

That would be even more embarrassing and would be recorded in history books.

But you are different. You can emit colorful rays of light and even make people young again. These characteristics are definitely more legendary and mysterious than the real Imperial Seal of the State. If you disguise yourself, there shouldn't be any problem. Perhaps you can even seize the fortune of the Imperial Seal of the State.

The Imperial Seal of the State must have had good fortune, right?

Alternatively, I could say that your predecessor was a remnant stone left over from Nuwa's patching of the sky. This would still solidify your identity as a remnant stone from the patching of the sky. At most, people would think that the Imperial Seal of the State was originally made from a remnant stone from the patching of the sky.

So, do you think there's a problem?

Emperor Yonghe certainly had his own selfish motives. For example, he felt that directly bestowing titles upon gods would harm his own fortune. If he did not directly bestow titles upon gods, but instead acknowledged that Ding Shui was the Imperial Seal of the State, then...

In his opinion, it would definitely not harm his luck; in fact, it could even enhance it.

Besides, the sudden appearance of an auspicious omen in his hands is completely different from the Imperial Seal of the State flying to him on its own. No matter how powerful the auspicious omen is, it cannot compare to the shock that the Imperial Seal of the State brought to the officials and nobles, nor can it better represent his destiny.

Moreover, if his father were shameless and brazenly demanded the auspicious omen, he would find it difficult to refuse.

But if it's the Imperial Seal of the State, then it's too easy to refuse.

After all, what retired emperor would want the imperial seal?

At most, I'll show it to him so he can have a good look.

Therefore, Emperor Yonghe felt that as long as Ding Shui thought there was no problem, his idea was absolutely perfect, and might even be better for Ding Shui.

At the same time, Ding Shui was really tempted.

Because many of Emperor Yonghe's guesses were correct, aside from other aspects, the Imperial Seal of the State itself possessed an immense amount of fortune. If Ding Shui could be identified as the true Imperial Seal of the State, he would not only instantly gain control over about one-third of the current dynasty's national fortune, but also gain control over the remaining fortune of previous dynasties.

To put it bluntly, if Ding Shui really hardened his heart and completely replaced the Imperial Seal of the State...

In addition, her current physical form is made of five-colored stone.

This is enough to transform her into a supreme treasure of humanity in this small world. What does that mean? It means that her status in this small world is basically equivalent to that of the Kongtong Seal, a supreme treasure of humanity, in the legendary Primordial True World.

If a different emperor were to acquire the divine conferment technique, he could refine it and conquer the entire world, thus establishing a true humane dynasty and wielding the power of divine conferment, thereby achieving longevity with the nation, with the heavens, and with the world.

However, these are obviously too far away.

Moreover, neither Ding Shui nor the original owner of this body likely wants to become a treasure in someone else's hands. Fortunately, Emperor Yonghe does not possess the imperial deification technique, nor is he capable of conquering the entire world. Therefore, concerns about being refined by Emperor Yonghe are entirely unfounded.

Unless Ding Shui deliberately pushes it.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to succeed.

Therefore, this collaboration is actually negotiable.
"No problem, your suggestion is better than mine before, except that the process requires deception."

Fine, then let's do it your way.

If you have confidence!

"I'm confident, I'm extremely confident. Let me first tell you what the legendary Imperial Seal of the State actually looks like. Before this, I've secretly fantasized many times about what I would do if I got the Imperial Seal of the State, and I've also researched a lot of information."

It is estimated that the vast majority of so-called great Confucian scholars are like that.

None of them know what the Imperial Seal of the State looks like.

The most important point is that, according to legend, the Imperial Seal of the State was missing a corner, which was then patched up with gold. Many people thought that what was missing was the edge of the seal, that is, the square corner that was missing, but that's not the case. What was actually missing was the dragon's horn on the Imperial Seal of the State.

Therefore, only the dragon horn is gold.

If the edges of the imperial seal were patched with gold.

That would truly be a laughing stock.

"In addition, another point is that the Imperial Seal of the State is not very large. It can be held in one hand. It is about the same size as my favorite private seal, which was specially made after my research."

I just didn't have the heart to carve "By Mandate of Heaven" on it.

Wait, let me show you…

To put it simply, Emperor Yonghe's emotions at this moment were indeed so intense that they were almost beyond words. He even stopped saying "I am the Emperor" and felt that even if it was fake, he had fulfilled his dream.

And if everyone believes it to be true.

That's real, so how can it be fake?

As for Ding Shui, he was somewhat speechless at this moment because he had seen too many of Ding Shui's memories. Ordinary people might fantasize before going to sleep about suddenly receiving a windfall and living a comfortable life. This guy also fantasizes before going to sleep about how he would deal with those old nobles after his father's death. He also fantasizes about how he would boast to the civil and military officials and the retired emperor if he could find the Imperial Seal of the State, proclaiming that he was the true chosen one, not just someone who stumbled upon the throne by chance.

The former crown prince staged a coup, killing many princes. His father, the retired emperor, was so angered by the former crown prince that he became paralyzed on one side and had no choice but to pass the throne to his eldest and still-living son. Privately, many people said that he had only become emperor by chance.

They might even describe him as incredibly lucky.

At the same time, his father often manipulated him.

They said he was incompetent and lacked virtue, and that if they hadn't had no other choice, they would never have passed the throne to him. They even said that if he didn't perform well, they would depose him, although deposing an emperor might not be so easy.

However, with the retired emperor still in power, although there would be a price to pay, success was not impossible.

Therefore, Emperor Yonghe was under a lot of pressure.

Whether it's psychological stress or other forms of stress, it's normal to fantasize about happy things before bed when psychological stress cannot be relieved.

After that, Ding Shui, based on his research, erased all the characters on the original body and gradually changed its shape, eventually transforming it into a palm-sized, exquisitely crafted Imperial Seal.

The main color of the body is jade white, but when viewed from the side, you can vaguely see some blue-green. When held up to the sunlight, it can show a rainbow of colors.

The dragon's horn was missing, so a piece of gold was used to repair it.

It was taken from a gold seal of the Yonghe Emperor.

"Excellent, excellent, just like this! It's perfect, exactly as described in the ancient books!"

As Ding Shui gradually transformed into the shape of the Imperial Seal of the State that he had imagined, Emperor Yonghe's emotions fluctuated, and he was extremely excited.

In the end, he even had tears welling up in his eyes.

He could finally openly tell people that he was ordained by Heaven, not by his father's charity.

After all, even his father, the emperor, did not have the Imperial Seal of the State.

"Alright, drip a drop of blood onto this jade seal later. If there's anything you need to cooperate with, remember to let me know and discuss it with me beforehand. After all, I can't stay in your mind forever, nor can I always pay attention to what you're thinking. This way, you can feel more at ease."

Don't worry about what you're thinking; I can hear you.

Any questions?

Ding Shui continued, saying that she had just absorbed too much of the Great Sun's essence, and she still needed to digest it. In addition, it would be dark soon, and she would need to absorb the Moon's essence to harmonize the Great Sun's essence absorbed during the day.

Otherwise, the imbalance of Yin and Yang will be disrupted, which is bad for the body.

Emperor Yonghe, who was in a rather good mood, quickly brought up his request: "Although you are already very magical and look almost identical to the Imperial Seal of the State."

However, in order to gain the recognition of the officials and nobles as soon as possible and confirm that you are the real Imperial Seal, I hope you will cooperate with me in doing a few things. First, when I take you out at the morning court tomorrow, please let your light shine a little more.

Secondly, I plan to hold a grand ceremony to worship my ancestors and heaven as soon as possible, and you will cooperate with me then.

Create an even bigger anomaly than today's.

It would be even better if we could create a dragon or a phoenix!

"No problem, I can do it. Is there anything else? Are you sure there's nothing I've overlooked?"

Creating some unusual phenomena is a piece of cake.

Ding Shui had no reason to refuse.

"Wait a minute, many people saw the Jia family bringing Jia Baoyu into the palace as a symbol of good fortune. If you are the Imperial Seal of the State, why was Jia Baoyu born with the jade in his mouth? Could it be... that's not easy to explain? I'm afraid someone will use Jia Baoyu as a pretext."

The biggest bug has finally been found.

If the Jade Spirit is the Imperial Seal of the State, and Jia Baoyu was born with it in his mouth, what is Jia Baoyu then? Wouldn't he be even more or less ordained by Heaven? After all, the Imperial Seal of the State, which was ordained by Heaven, was something he brought forth from his mouth.

Moreover, the Imperial Seal of the State is a symbol of inheritance. What is something that is brought from the womb? Is it new?
If these two points cannot be explained...

It is difficult to definitively determine the identity of the Imperial Seal of the State.
