Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

Wei Zhi gazed intently at you, whether moved by a shared resonance or by the power of your words.

All is calm now.

[For someone like her, who has been navigating the core of power struggles since childhood.]

[A person destined to be a femme fatale, struggling to survive, and eventually rising to a high position.]

[It's already rare for him to occasionally reveal emotional fluctuations.]

It's simply impossible to influence or even change her thoughts and stance through this.

[She weighed your existence before entering the Great Cang Court and ascending to the imperial court.]

Whether it's beneficial or detrimental to her.

Ultimately, the almost tangible killing intent emanating from Wei Qi behind her made her decision.

Regardless of the impact your presence may have on her.

The primary priority is to bring Wei Qi, the future head of the Wei family, back with us.

Otherwise, he will be allowed to run rampant outside.

Even she couldn't suppress the Wei family's dissent and the court's doubts for long.

Wei Qi is now clearly on your side.

If your request for amnesty is not granted, Wei Qi will likely continue to command the battle-hardened army of Yongzhou and further expand the war.

After weighing the pros and cons.

Wei Zhi has made a decision.

"Very well, I will request permission from His Majesty, and the Wei family will also provide support from behind the scenes."

[That's all.]

Her crimson-gold palace dress fluttered lightly as she turned to look at Wei Qi.

"Come back when you're ready."

As the words faded, the figure depicted by the talisman gradually dissipated and disappeared.

[From her last words of advice.]

[It is known that the decision to request amnesty has been made.]

[This seems to be related to the so-called request for imperial decree and the mobilization of the Wei family.]

It's just a formality.

This gives a glimpse into Wei Zhi's power within Da Cang.

Your eyes reflected the fading light of the talisman.

He thought to himself.

[A beautiful woman is destined to bring disaster, chaos, downfall, and calamity.]

[As the one who wields imperial power.]

Such an existence is absolutely unacceptable.

Even with confidence in the absolute power of the emperor, it was impossible to allow Wei Zhi to seize control of the throne.

You're really curious.

The relationship between Wei Zhi and Emperor Xuanwu.

As Wei Zhi's figure completely disappeared, the faint light in the misty hall dimmed.

You are confident in your assessment of whether Wei Zhi will agree to request imperial amnesty.

Because Wei Qi was there.

[If it were merely your status as a Daoist disciple, the talents of Pang Hai and Xu Hui, and the power in Yongzhou...]

Even that couldn't sway Wei Zhi, so he let such a filthy creature like you into the central courtyard.

However, with Wei Qi, things would be different.

Wei Zhi was willing to pay the price and take the risks to get him home.

[That's why you set your sights on Wei Qi even before the simulation began.]

He is the key to unlocking the gate to the Great Azure Court.

[Based on your previous remarks, this established your persona and slightly changed Wei Zhi's impression of you as someone of the same ilk as the filthy East Asians.]

Therefore, Wei Zhi's agreement was within your expectations.

Otherwise, if you wish to enter the central court and ascend to the throne, you will likely only be able to do what happened in the last simulation.

They've broken in.

The matter of requesting imperial approval for amnesty has been decided.

Wei Qi will naturally return to the Wei family.

Therefore, Pang Hai and Xu Hui inquired about your plans for them.

"Hahahaha."

The second-generation Pang Hai, who had suppressed his laughter for so long, was finally able to let it out freely.

"Brother, if you and Brother Wei go into the central courtyard, what about the two...three of us? What should we do?"

Your gaze sweeps over them.

[He gestured, saying, "You are stationed in Yongzhou. When the imperial decree from the Great Cang Court arrives, you should be granted official appointments and titles."]

"Don't miss this opportunity."

"By leveraging the influence of one's position and the destiny dictated by war, one can comprehend a path uniquely one's own."

Your gaze is fixed on the southeast.

"I will offer you insights into the combination of fortune and destiny."

The two generations of Pang Hai and the first generation Xu Hui looked at each other in astonishment.

[The combination of destiny and fortune?]

This sounds unbelievable.

[Because they had already curiously settled the spoils of the peace negotiations.]

I have also consulted classical texts on the nature of destiny, fate, fortune, and celestial phenomena.

[Understanding the unusual phenomena in one's destiny and fate.]

[Based on the imitation of destiny, a piece is placed on earth from the heavens.]

[A means to allow celestial beings to break through the limitations of rules and remain in the mortal realm.]

So essentially.

Fate and destiny are in conflict and contradiction.

Luck suppresses destiny, and destiny can influence luck.

Now, you're making them understand the fusion of the two.

Although they were surprised, they absolutely trusted your decision.

[Besides, you also said you would provide them with corresponding insights.]

They have sufficient confidence in their own natural talents and comprehension.

[With the help of my previous self from the previous reincarnation.]

Even three cobblers with their limited abilities can manage to create something.

After arranging the division of labor and cooperation...

You waved your hand lightly, signaling them to go back and rest, preparing to leave the Western Regions tomorrow.

Watching their departing figures disappear into the night.

You withdrew your gaze and fixed it on the leisurely Xu Kun.

"Brother 2.5, did you notice anything unusual earlier?"

【"Meow?"】

Xu Kun raised his head, looking left and right, his eerie green eyes clearly showing surprise.

"Something's wrong? What's wrong? It's that dirty Wei Zhi... meow!"

Before Xu Kun could finish speaking, he immediately covered his mouth with both hands to avoid an attack aimed directly at the top of his head.

"It's not Wei Zhi."

"Meow? Not her? Then who is it?"

[Xu Kun looks around, meowing incoherently.]

[Clearly doesn't understand what you're saying.]

Your eyes were slightly lowered, your gaze deep and composed.

[Even Xu Kun couldn't notice, that's really remarkable.]

You ignored Xu Kun, whose curiosity had been piqued, as he meowed and pressed for more information.

[Kick it aside like a ball.]

[Sitting quietly at the table, defying fate to trace the dark hand, I picked up my teacup and took a sip.]

[Soon to enter the central courtyard, venturing into the core of the Great Azure's power.]

It's time to visit some old friends.

You gently touched the hidden sword scar between your brows with your dark hand.

Feel the sword intent emanating from the twinkling lights of countless homes.

Brother Lü, I have granted you ten years of peaceful time as a sword seed master, without disturbing you.

Now it's time for you to shine.

[When you traveled south to the Celestial Master's Mansion before, you did not pass through Canglan City, thus avoiding disturbing Lü Zhen, who was at the height of his fame and was the center of attention.]

Now, Lü Zhen should be approaching a critical examination of the sword type's identity.

[And his concern for the people of the world.]

[He quickly presented his own viewpoint.]

Cultivating swords cannot save the Great Azure Sky.

To some extent, his conclusion is correct.

The rule of the three emperors limiting the upper limit of human combat power.

[Even if Lü Zhen were a natural-born swordsman, or a master swordsman, he would still be exceptionally skilled.]

It's difficult for one person to turn the tide alone.

[You visualize the grand scheme of the Great Cang world in your mind, calculating your moves before entering the central courtyard.]
