Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

The old Taoist priest and Xu Kun stared blankly at the scene unfolding before them, then stiffly turned to look at you.

The look in his eyes conveyed a sense of unfamiliarity and disbelief.

It's as if what's happening right now can't possibly be connected to something like you.

Your enigmatic demeanor, coupled with their suspicious gazes, almost broke you down.

Why should loyalty and treachery be judged by appearance?

Does being black necessarily mean being bad?

Your darkness is pure, profound, and so deep it borders on intense emotion.

[Extreme darkness will inevitably lead to its opposite!]

【"snort!"】

You stood with your hands behind your back, your black robe fluttering, your refined face and handsome figure leaving an unforgettable first impression.

"Master, Brother Two-Five, do you now know the depth of my heart how truly I love all living beings and the common people?"

The old Taoist priest opened his mouth, wanting to argue.

But the facts before him told him that his devilish apprentice was indeed a policy that benefited the people.

[Regardless of the thunder and rain.]

The methods used to reverse weakness and other negative states are good in terms of results.

【"Hmm~"

Suddenly, you let out a subtle, soft hum.

[I feel the rebellious spirit in my spine receiving a vibrant response, as if it has been forged and tempered a thousand times, growing freely.]

You suddenly understood.

[Disobedience leads to perversion, and perversion leads to disobedience.]

The rebellion achieved through treachery, in turn, draws causal feedback from the rebellion itself.

They mutually promote growth.

The people knelt, gazing up at the rolling dark clouds, bathed in the murky black rain, yet without fear, fully experiencing their bodies returning to a state of health.

They didn't know which deity had used this method, so they prayed with the utmost sincerity and devotion.

[Seventh year, twenty-three years old.]

Dark clouds rolled in, black rain nourished the earth, and murky, stagnant waters poured down.

The common people showed no resistance or fear towards this strange and unusual phenomenon.

Instead, it felt like a long-awaited experience, bathed in the torrential rain, where I felt the legendary divine power.

[You, the old Taoist priest, and Xu Kun traveled along the path of disaster.]

Gradually, legends of compassionate deities who used dark clouds and rain to save the people spread widely.

Most people believe this is a baseless rumor and nonsense.

But being driven to the brink, they were forced to believe, even beg, that it was true.

Today, the people of this area finally received the long-awaited black rain.

The old Taoist priest stood silently behind you, while Xu Kun squatted at his feet.

A person and a cat gaze from afar at your figure, holding the seal, as if gathering thunder and rain.

[His gaze was extremely complex.]

[This old Taoist priest feels he may have misunderstood you. What do a few strange phenomena and actions matter to a kind person who has saved countless lives?]

Xu Kun felt that his elder brother was both familiar and unfamiliar.

What's familiar is that he sensed the aura of the red-haired old monster in you.

What's strange is that this filthy, dark thing is strangely righteous.

Since the day your black rain quelled the disaster, I, the old Taoist, have never intervened in the face of drought again.

This is all up to you to handle.

The more I look, the more surprised I become; the more I look, the more I doubt myself; and finally, I feel guilty for my past prejudices against you.

After dealing with the disaster, you did not bask in the admiration of the people.

[Continue on to the next place where help is needed.]

[At night in the mountains, torrential rain poured down, causing flash floods and landslides, with mud and water carrying huge rocks surging and raging.]

The old Taoist priest stomped his feet lightly, and azure lightning tore through the black curtain, spreading out in a meandering, raging torrent.

In an instant, the mountain torrents evaporated, buoys were obliterated, and the dark clouds in the sky were scattered.

The rain subsided, leaving a misty, drizzling curtain.

You, the old Taoist priest, and Xu Kun spent the night in a dilapidated mountain temple.

The orange glow of the campfire crackled around them, its warmth dispelling the damp chill in the air.

Several roast chickens were sizzling and dripping with oil.

【唷! 】

The metallic cry of the exotic falcon echoed, and silently, like a streak of light, it swept into the mountain temple.

You reach out and catch the bronze slip, then remove it.

Recently, letters from Yongzhou have become increasingly frequent.

[Ever since your dynasty's Pang Hai and Xu Kun decided to launch an uprising in Yongzhou to block the Western Regions.]

[Wei Qi then submitted a memorial to the Grand Cang court, explaining the root cause of the war and requesting permission to enter the west.]

Pang Hai and Xu Hui awaited a reply, and Wei Qi's decision.

The decree from the Great Azure Court is no different from the one in the last simulation.

[The emperor praised and conferred titles upon Wei Qi, and then recalled him to the capital.]

Last time, Wei Qi bore the burden of the Wei family's responsibilities, not to mention his controlling empress sister.

Left with no other choice, he had to obey the imperial decree and lead his army back to the capital.

From this point on, you will all go your separate ways.

This time, you tricked Wei Qi into entering the Tomb of the God of War, thus sealing his fate of war.

More importantly, in the inheritance of the God of War, he came to understand himself.

Therefore, this time, Wei Qi made a different choice.

A general in the field may disobey some military orders!

[Then, with the assistance of Pang Hai and Xu Hui, we consolidated the forces you left behind, raised an army in Yongzhou, and launched a three-day, non-stop raid, heading straight for Yumen Pass.]

[Furthermore, using the strategically important Yumen Pass as a base, and with the assistance of the prefectures you control.]

[The Yongzhou region was successfully brought under their control.]

Such an unexpected turn of events naturally caused chaos in the Great Cang Central Court.

[Because the identity of the person who raised the army was too special.]

He is the younger brother of Wei Zhi, the current empress, whose power rivals that of the emperor.

[He is also the next generation successor of the Wei family, the most powerful and influential family in the world besides the Great Cang Royal Family.]

[Yet they abandoned the readily available supreme power and embarked on a path of rebellion, a path almost certainly leading to certain death.]

The entire court, filled with officials in purple robes, was filled with doubt and confusion.

Why did Wei Qi abandon such a promising future and make such a brainless move?

Wei Zhi was even more furious. He had heard that the sunset over the capital that day was exceptionally crimson and magnificent, possessing a beauty beyond comprehension.

Yet it also instills a sense of dread and fear of chaos.

[This letter today contains the words of Wei Qi, Pang Hai, and Xu Hui, who believe the time is ripe to probe the Western Regions.]

[Besides further compressing and forcing the living environment in the Western Regions.]

[It's also a test.]

[Having witnessed the current situation, I wonder what trump cards the late emperor still has left that could allow Yin Qian to turn the tide.]

[At the same time, the three of them are also tasked with investigating your family background and the cause of your death.]

Xu Kun has a deep understanding of what has happened during this period.

[Another letter arrived from Yongzhou.]

[Walking with elegant cat-like steps: "Meow~ Big brother, is it time for action in Yongzhou?"]

You nodded quietly, your eyes gleaming with a mysterious light.

The old Taoist priest vaguely sensed that you were plotting something in secret, but he didn't know the specifics.

[I'm leaning down and eavesdropping on your conversation.]

"Master, it's wrong to eavesdrop on other people's conversations."

"That's because my hearing is amazing; I can hear even the most piercing sounds. How could that be considered eavesdropping?"

You're too lazy to argue with this old rascal.

[The pen falls to the ground.]

【"Yes!"】
