Master of Strange Dao

Actually, it's already completed, and Dadui can return at any time.

It's just that it's not easy to completely maintain the current situation.

We can only change our approach and try to enhance Dadui's national fortune first."

Zhang thought deeply. In fact, he wanted to say that with Dadui's current national fortune, sealing the entire Dadui again could actually withstand it.

The biggest drawback of the Sealing Skill is just its consumption of national fortune.

If it's absolutely necessary to use it, it's not impossible, just that caution is required and it's better to avoid using it if possible.

Zhang had experienced the darkest times. He could analyze the issues rationally but understood Yu Ziqing's concerns and knew that unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to use it.

He did not ask Yu Ziqing what he planned to do, just followed orders, remembering the big goal of enhancing Dadui's national fortune.

When Yu Ziqing exited from Dadui with Che Lun, this guy couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear.

Especially as more and more people borrowed power, he received many tributes and felt great joy. During the harvest season, he could even empathize with the joy of a bountiful harvest.

Yu Ziqing, with the large cart transformed from Che Lun, quietly comprehended the power that appeared out of nowhere and landed within Che Lun.

That inner joy and delight, just feeling it, can significantly lighten the mood, making one unconsciously smile.

Honestly, this was the first time Yu Ziqing felt firsthand the sense of achievement from improving the lives of Dadui's citizens.

It's as if he personally saw and experienced it.

Beside the canal, someone was channeling water for irrigation, feeling the joy of crops absorbing moisture.

He also seemed to see, during the rainy season, water wheels collaborating with the River God, guiding and diverting the flow, staving off disasters in their infancy.

There were also strong men crushing oil with the sound of turning oil machines.

And the rotating silk machine, accompanied by a soft creak and a faint, distant hum.

Everything was full of vitality and hope.

Yu Ziqing opened his eyes, brewed tea, and drank slowly.

Initially, he planned to use Dadui's Sealing Skill to individually seal each city.

Because Dadui's current national fortune is thriving, it can endure, and as long as it doesn't take too long, the consumption isn't actually significant.

At that time, just leave any wrongdoing fellow as a target and seal everything within the city's range together.

To lift the seal, just execute the criminal.

By then, Dadui becomes an empty shell, and allowing Dadui to return wouldn't impact the existing people.

After this empty shell returns, release the cities one by one and plan them into suitable locations.

After all, in Dadui's previous territory, some places on the eastern side have already become Daqian's territory.

Releasing these cities in these locations would directly become a clash between Dadui's national fortune and Daqian's national fortune.

Yu Ziqing needs to avoid such occurrences, not out of fear, but because being caught in a direct collision could mean the end for those cities and people.

This method maximizes the use of Dadui's own strength to avoid risks, and the only drawback is the need to use the Dadui Seal.

Now that the Dadui Sealing Skill is banned, Yu Ziqing doesn't want to start this precedent.

Once you start some things, you can't stop.

During the Jiazi Era, Dadui used the Sealing Skill very cautiously, evident from the still unresolved seals, which all involve troublesome and dangerous disasters.

But the further it progressed, the more casually the Sealing Skill was used, until it became completely rotten in the Dingmao Era.

Therefore, Yu Ziqing must use another method.

He needs to ensure that everything in Dadui is preserved intact and can withstand any impact.

This was the drawback of not letting Dadui return immediately.

But back then, there was no choice. If Dadui had returned when it was just a straw away from collapsing, it would have been doomed.

Yu Ziqing has always had a clear understanding that the strong in this world only need Dadui to return, to open the Tenth Tier path, not necessarily Dadui itself.

Once Dadui returns, completing the world's wholeness, whether Dadui exists afterward is no longer important, as long as the essence is retained.

That cunning Zhang insisted on dragging everyone with him, forcing Yu Ziqing to become Emperor Dui, precisely because of this reason.

Surely, Yu Ziqing couldn't be a fallen king, right?

Only later, it slowly changed from a nominal acknowledgment to a sincere recognition.

By now, it's impossible for Yu Ziqing to just ignore it.

So, Zhang is truly devious, addressing him as Your Majesty with every word, yet more cunning than anyone.

Yu Ziqing only had to leverage the power of the Dadui Divine Dynasty, and Zhang was as happy as if he had eaten a dove.

He was just afraid that Yu Ziqing wouldn't use the power of the Divine Dynasty at all, and might one day just up and leave.

Returning to Almsgiving Town, Yu Ziqing quietly comprehended, while Che Lun, transformed into a black wheel again, quietly stayed, responding to a former teammate's call.

Listening to the coarse swearing, Che Lun remained emotionally unfazed.

He knew that these guys, stuck in the Fallen Abyss, couldn't say anything good, nor could they calm down to think.

They wouldn't even think that after cursing at him, they'd still expect his help?

However, Che Lun was more conscientious than that shameful traitor.

If he said he would save them, he definitely meant it. But how to save them and who to save depended on the situation.

The guy with the foul mouth currently was on good terms with Che Lun, having helped each other many times.

So Che Lun planned to offer him a way out; whether he took it or not was none of his concern, Che Lun was doing his utmost. Orıginal content can be found at n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net

As the curses gradually faded, Che Lun slowly said.

"Finished swearing?"

"I just couldn't help it..." the other whispered.

"After coming out, things were especially good. I even acquired a new True Form and felt something unprecedented.

I'm better than a disgrace because I have a conscience."

"What is a conscience?" the whispering voice asked.

"Never mind what a conscience is. Just look at yourself now; surely you have none!

Otherwise, you wouldn't have cursed at me.

I want to find a way out for you too. Whether it works depends on you."
