Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 165 Divination
The world under one person.

Leaving aside the carefulness and meticulous planning required in the world of Bleach to find a way to succeed and avoid being detected by those Bleach gods who have lived for hundreds of years, Guan Yi is much more relaxed in the world of Under One Person.

Here he has loving elders from his clan, a considerate and lovely wife, and his own strength is among the best in this world.

Since Guan Yi easily defeated the leaders of the Three Demon Sects and became the leader of the younger generation with his indisputable performance at the Lu family's birthday banquet, his status in the Zhuge family has been further elevated.

Although he still holds the title of "Young Clan Chief," he has almost the power of a clan chief. He participates in clan celebrations and major decision-making events, and his seat is below that of Clan Chief Zhuge Wen. The clan chief is gradually handing over the position to him.

Having lived a peaceful and uneventful 1929 and 1930, Guan Yi continued to refine his sorcery skills, hone his life cultivation, and study new spells.

The year is 1931, and Guan Yi knows that the peace of the world is about to be broken.

Sure enough, without any surprises, on September 18, 1931, the Japanese invaders launched a brazen invasion of the Northeast!

In this era of delayed news, it was almost two weeks later when the news reached the Zhuge family. Large swathes of land in Northeast China had already fallen, and the Zhuge family was filled with indignation!
As descendants of Zhuge Liang, the concepts of 'loyalty and righteousness' are ingrained in their bones, especially among the younger generation who are in their prime and full of passion.

"Our Zhuge clan, inheriting the legacy of Marquis Wu, how can we sit idly by and watch the Japanese pirates trample our land? We should mobilize the entire clan to descend the mountain and kill the enemy!" someone shouted.

The older generation considered things more thoroughly.

Indignation alone is useless. Although magic is powerful, how many rounds can it withstand against organized guns and cannons? Besides, Japan is not without special forces with superhuman abilities; they are not easy to deal with.

We need to take action, but how should we do it? Rushing headlong into the Northeast would only lead to our deaths; the Zhuge family cannot afford to let its lineage end so easily.

The 46th generation of the Zhuge family elders gathered together, looking at each other with determination in their eyes.

The youngest among them is over 60 years old, which is quite an achievement in this day and age!
"Hahaha, it can be considered a blessing from heaven. Perhaps knowing that our country was about to face a crisis, it sent us that child, Zhuge Yi." Clan Chief Zhuge Wen laughed loudly, "If we hand over the clan to him, we old folks can die in peace!"

"Yes."

"It is also an honor to live in seclusion in the Zhuge family for decades to avoid chaos. In the end, I had the opportunity to emulate my ancestor Zhuge Liang and do what I knew was impossible."

The more complex the content of a sorcerer's divination, the more likely they are to suffer a backlash.

Without the ability of their ancestor Zhuge Liang to foresee the fate of a nation, it would be a dead end for them! But with the nation in peril, even if it was a dead end, they were determined to take the plunge!
Just as everyone was discussing and dividing the tasks, the door suddenly opened and Guan Yi walked in.

Zhuge Wen was taken aback and said, "What? You can't control those children anymore? Perfect, I have something to entrust to you, Xiao Yi. From today onwards, you will officially become a member of my Zhuge family..."

“Clan Chief,” Guan Yi interrupted, “you should hold the position of clan chief for a few more years. I don’t want to take on such a heavy responsibility so soon.”

He looked at the elders and said, “Uncles and elders, please forgive my disrespect, but I know exactly what you are planning to do. After all, in terms of the skills of a sorcerer, all of you combined may not be able to match my abilities alone.”

"..."

These words were arrogant, but the elders couldn't really refute them. For years, Guan Yi had always been respectful and courteous to them, never displaying such arrogance. Now, with this sudden outburst, they understood Guan Yi's intentions almost instantly.

Zhuge Wen's expression immediately changed, and he said, "No! You are a genius that appears only once every five hundred years in my Zhuge family. Your future is limitless. You have the opportunity to become the first extraordinary person in my Zhuge family to ascend to immortality and accomplish what even our ancestor, Zhuge Liang, could not do..."

"Our ancestor, Marquis Wu, was capable of ascending to heaven, but chose not to for the sake of the country," Guan Yi said. "Do you think I could truly reach the level of our ancestor, Marquis Wu, if I don't even have the courage to be similar?"

Zhuge Wen paused and fell silent.

The older generation remained silent.

Guan Yi said, "I beg you uncles to lend me a hand and sever the future of China."

……

Several days later, in Northeast China, at Changbai Mountain.

"You little devils! I'll fuck their mothers!"

"You bastard who was born of a father but raised by no mother!"

Guan Shihua cursed repeatedly, her mouth full of foul language. Exhausted, she pleaded, "Master, please let me go down the mountain. Countless compatriots suffer outside every day. If you make me hide in the mountains like this, are we still Chinese?!" A middle-aged man outside didn't even raise an eyebrow: "You've only established your sect a few years ago. What can you do? Even I, your master, can't withstand a single round of artillery fire. Going there would only be a pointless death. Save your life; perhaps you can save some people in the future. You are not allowed to go down the mountain!"

"You...I..."

Guan Shihua was both angry and anxious. She had tried to run away several times, but her skills were far too rudimentary compared to her master's, and she was always caught and brought back.

Just then, a blonde girl came running over from not far away and said, "Master! Shihua! There is a letter here for Shihua. It was sent by the young clan leader Zhuge, whom I met at the Lu family's birthday banquet, through the channels of Tingfeng Xiaozhu!"

"Zhuge Yi?" Guan Shihua was taken aback.

Why would he suddenly send me a letter after we haven't been in contact since we parted ways three years ago?

Could it be related to the Japanese?

Thinking of this, she quickly took the letter, opened it and read it. As she read the contents of the letter, Guan Shihua's eyes widened and her face was filled with shock.

"The Zhuge family... they actually managed to..."

When her master came over and took a closer look, his pupils contracted. The letter was filled with densely packed intelligence on the Japanese invaders' deployments and operations, including not only current information but also information for the next six months.

The letter ended with: "Our Zhuge family is weak and powerless. In order to calculate the fate of the nation, we have already suffered great losses and we are afraid that we will no longer be able to help you in the short term."

Although we met briefly three years ago, Zhuge Yi felt that Sister Guan Shihua was a trustworthy person. In this land of Northeast China, the only extraordinary people I know are you and Sister Gao. This letter is in duplicate, sent to both of you. Please handle it properly.

Do not impulsively engage in direct combat. Although we extraordinary individuals possess unique skills, there is not much we can do in the face of war between nations; we can only offer our meager assistance.

"Meager strength?"

You call this a small contribution?

This is hardly a meager effort; it is an extraordinary achievement almost on par with that of Zhuge Liang!
It is no exaggeration to say that if this letter and intelligence were used properly, it could save millions of lives!
“This time… we can go down the mountain, Shihua.” He said in a deep voice, “The Zhuge family probably paid an unimaginable price to divination these things. We cannot let down the sacrifice of the young clan leader Zhuge… no, we should call him Master Zhuge!”

……

The cost was indeed considerable.

Guan Yi has been in bed for seven days.

Although he had experienced it in the previous round, Guan Yi, who did not know that it would be reset, did not remember all the details of the Japanese invasion after the September 918 Incident. He needed to divine many things himself.

The matter concerned the fate of millions, and even with his robust physique, he vomited three liters of blood and lay in bed for three days, barely able to move. Only then did he finally regain the strength to hold a bowl and drink his medicine.

But it's alright. His physical strength has declined, but he can recover with his skills. This time, with the help of his elders, Guan Yi gained a deeper understanding of the inner vision through divination, and his skills have improved again.

Besides, he didn't have the ability in the last round, but now that he does, it's his turn!
Unlike the previous round, the elders of the Zhuge family have only suffered some damage to their vital energy and will not pass away one after another. They will probably recover even faster than Guan Yi and live to a ripe old age.

Their intelligence affects the fate of many people, and this is not the end of the story.

Six months later, Guan Yi, having recovered his strength, once again conducted a new divination with his elders to predict the new moves of the Japanese invaders, which would have a far-reaching impact on the war situation thousands of miles away.

After learning about this, the younger generation of the Zhuge family all devoted themselves to cultivation, hoping to join their divination team.

And so, the third phase of infrastructure construction gradually passed as Guan Yi divined, refined his sorcerer skills, and recuperated from his injuries.

[With the completion of the third phase (five years) of infrastructure construction, 100 million yen can be spent to begin the fourth phase (five years) of infrastructure construction.]

[The second phase of the plan can be initiated: First visit to a prestigious family]

Wealth: 220 million yen

[Life Points: 160]

In the spring of 1934, Guan Yi had just finished another round of recuperation and felt it was time to go out and travel, so he embarked on his first visit to a prestigious family!
