The fake prince was exposed at the beginning, and I took office as emperor on the spot

Chapter 44: Changing the Heaven and the Sun
Oh no, the final boss is my dad?

Gu Fangchen twitched his lips, thinking that he might be the descendant of "Master Hengchang", but it was unlikely that he was the descendant of "Master Hengchang".

Although he knew everything about the plot that players could access in "Mirror in the Dust", Gu Fangchen was not sure about this matter.

After all, Gu Fangchen died before the plot even started...

There is only one piece of secret information left by "Master Hengchang", and there is no text to corroborate it.

Gu Fangchen could only say that there was a possibility.

But there is more information that contradicts his cognition.

First and foremost,

If he was really the descendant of "Master Hengchang Dao", why did Emperor Yong'an give him to Gu Yuye, allowing Gu Yuye to raise the child into a useless state and even cause him to die an unnatural death?
"Heng Chang Daozhu" is the third first-class Shinto practitioner known to the player in the game.

The other two were the Confucian sage of Mount Yao who had established half of the country, and the sword sage of the previous generation who had passed away in meditation at Mount Tianmen.

These three characters, plus the player himself who reaches the maximum level after the ending, are the only four living people in the game who can be considered to be in the first-grade Eternal Realm.

As the name suggests, the Eternal Realm means something that will never be worn out, just like the eternal existence of heaven and earth.

At this level, one is almost immortal. Any living person in the Eternal Realm can almost crush other practitioners.

Because the Wei Dynasty had Confucian saints on the surface, it was able to stand firm for more than 1,300 years despite internal and external troubles.

But later in the Yaoshan Academy side story, if you take the [Demons Descend to Earth] route, you will kill this Confucian sage in a disguised way in an incredible way.

This led to the Wei Dynasty falling into real chaos, and it had to rely on Xu Fu for support.

It proves that the Eternal Realm is not unsolvable and human power can still overcome nature.

However, under normal circumstances, a first-grade Shintoist is invincible, because at this level, they are able to interfere with the timeline.

The "Six Star Lords" relied on splitting their own cause and effect and plunging themselves into reincarnation, but they could only be considered to have barely mastered the means of interfering with the timeline.

But this can only be achieved by anchoring the "past" and mastering the "present".

For the first-class Shinto, this is a matter of a thought. Their true body no longer exists in the present, but has been upgraded to a higher dimension.

Emperor Yong'an is just an incarnation of "Master Hengchang", but in this time and space, he is "Master Hengchang".

It is simply impossible to say that Emperor Yong'an was unaware of this.

Gu Fangchen currently has two guesses in his mind.

Or, he did it on purpose.

The unchanging nature of "Heng Chang Dao Zhu" is his Dao, so he must eliminate the factor that causes him to change.

So he secretly replaced Gu Yuye's son with his own descendants in order to kill him.

But in this case, Emperor Yong'an's attitude towards him now seems very ambiguous.

Or, there is another hidden story behind this, for example, it is related to the "discussion on Tao" that made the unchanging people change.

In this "discussion on Taoism", who said what to "Master Hengchang" that made him choose to change actively or passively?

This may be the reason that prompted Emperor Yong'an to do this.

There is insufficient information for these two speculations, and Gu Fangchen cannot come up with an accurate conclusion at the moment.

However, these speculations are somewhat helpful for his current situation.

At least, let Gu Fangchen confirm one thing——

I can't pretend to be some old monster who has been reincarnated in front of Emperor Yong'an.

If he is really a descendant of "Hengchang Daozhu", then doing this is tantamount to sentencing himself to death.

Although this trick is very useful at the moment, this is when the original body has no relationship with those big guys.

And now... who can accept that their offspring has been possessed by someone else?
If Emperor Yong'an wants to kill himself, that's his own business. If others get involved, isn't that courting death?

Therefore, the best strategy is to stand on the side of Emperor Yong'an, and then continue to play the role of the original owner for the time being and not do anything out of line.

By the way, I can also try to find out what Emperor Yong'an is thinking...

Gu Fangchen thought for a moment and then said directly:

"Your Majesty, did you ask me to come here just to see me?"

Emperor Yong'an smiled and said:
"Is it not possible?" Gu Fangchen: "..."

Is that what you said?
Your Majesty, you are somewhat at a loss.

"Your Majesty, if you want to see it, you are welcome to do so."

He grinned and said boldly:

"But Your Majesty, Gu Yuye is still waiting to kill me. If you watch any longer, he will be anxious to death."

Emperor Yong'an's attitude towards Gu Fangchen is unclear, but his attitude towards Gu Yuye is very clear.

Then let’s first avoid the attention from Gu Fangchen himself and let the main focus of the matter return to Gu Yuye.

Having a common enemy often unites both parties better than having common interests.

Emperor Yong'an said calmly:

"I don't think he's in a hurry. He even has the leisure to go to the White Horse Temple and chat with people."

So it seems that I have already started chatting with Princess Prajna.

Gu Fangchen changed his mind and said:
"Princess Prajna came to search for the holy object, and now, because of the reincarnation of the Sixth Saint Maiden, the holy object has become one with Gu Lianxian."

"If Gu Yuye uses this as a threat, there's a high probability that the Tara Sect will be won over by him."

He did not hide the fact that he knew some information and wanted to see how Emperor Yong'an would react.

Across the long banner, Emperor Yong'an looked deeply at Gu Fangchen:

"Haven't you already sent the candle-cutter ghost to kill the Tara people?"

As expected, even this can't be hidden...

After all, they are all colleagues in the Demon Sect and are on the same level. The identity of "Yuebai Gong" as a puppeteer is no secret to Emperor Yong'an.

Furthermore, he should also know where "Yaobai Gong" is at this time, unlike the people below who have information gap.

It is absolutely impossible for him to appear here and pretend to be Gu Fangchen.

Gu Fangchen coughed dryly:
"That's just a delaying tactic that can only solve a temporary problem."

"Do you have a permanent solution?"

"That's not true..."

Gu Fangchen chuckled:
"However, I have a way to make the Tara Sect and Gu Yuye break up."

"Oh?"

Emperor Yong'an asked:
"any solution?"

Gu Fangchen narrowed his eyes, glanced at his [Angler] skill, and smiled brightly:

"Switch the sky and change the day."

[I really didn’t buy it] It can last for four days.

During these four days, he would forge a "Lotus in the Womb" to replace the real one.

First, he needed a fake.

But even if it is a fake, the "Lotus in the Womb" is not something that an ordinary person can make. Only a "tooth craftsman" has this ability.

Gu Fangchen knew where the dentist was, but he couldn't get there.

Therefore, he lured Gu Yuye to take action, because in Huangtian City, the Demon Cult did not have many opportunities to take action.

Gu Yuye will definitely activate a hidden piece and then put measurement marks on Gu Fangchen. Gu Fangchen will use this to enter the "longitude and latitude" transmission system of the measurement path and be transported to the dentist.

Of course, the most difficult part of doing this is that the lotus in the womb has already merged with Gu Lianxian. No one has ever seen it, and there is no template at all, but...

Gu Fangchen has seen it.
