Master of Strange Dao

The origin of the desk monster, it doesn't even know itself, it only knows that when it gained spiritual wisdom, it was just like this, always in the Daqian Jinyiwei government office, serving as a supportive tool monster.

At that time, it had no demon qi, no power, and didn't even understand how to absorb spiritual energy, just maintaining this appearance all along.

Like an observer, quietly watching everything.

From the beginning, full of enthusiasm, to the eventual apathy, sometimes not even wanting to show its face.

It wasn't until Song Chengyue's generation that it found Song Chengyue was different from the previous generations of Jinyiwei Commanders, and only after they became acquainted did it occasionally show up and say a few words.

In recent years, bigger influences and changes began to appear, it started to gain some vitality, gradually accumulating changes, and finally decided to escape.

Yu Ziqing, in a moment of fiery inspiration, fooled a bunch of deans to create the Spirit Transformation Array, which also contributed to today's situation.

Yu Ziqing remembered that when listening to those deans discuss, part of what he understood included the influence of the true appearance of the Spirit Transformation Array.

At that time, a dean said that such matters, even if successfully researched, wouldn't have immediately visible effects.

Unless with the financial strength and mobilization capability of the Divine Dynasty, willing to spare no expense to install a Super Large Spirit Transformation Array, only then can the effects be immediately seen.

Otherwise, according to previous theories, preventing the world from downgrading, or even elevating it, wouldn't reveal significant changes for years, even decades.

A change requires substantial influence to be seen, and many changes have a latency.

Just like the world itself undergoing downgrading, it happens subtly and is hard to pinpoint what's wrong at the time.

The Tenth Step Path's break, the entire process, actually took a long time, the disappearance of the Dadui Divine Dynasty was just the critical junction.

Before this crucial junction, nobody could foresee the break of the Tenth Step Path.

Today's Spirit Transformation Array is the same, the visible grand effects still aren't much, but small changes have already begun in unnoticed places.

Dadui's return and the opening of the Tenth Step Path are also such, at first glance, it didn't immediately bring forth a huge number of Tenth Tier.

Yu Ziqing understood that it's because his rhythm differs from normal cultivators.

Ruan Renwang's recovery is because he was a Tenth Tier himself.

As for others, even You Zhen north of Jinlan Mountain emerged before Dadui's return and didn't see him retreat again afterward, hastily rushing to breakthrough to Tenth Tier.

Many strong individuals are much more cautious than expected.

Each wants to stabilize first and advance in a more perfect manner.

Of course, Yu Ziqing estimated that more likely, they now have many new insights, what was previously considered the peak might not even be the limit.

After chatting a lot with the desk monster, Yu Ziqing took it back to Dadui.

Having such a monster, if not squeezed immediately, should he send it to Jinlan Mountain to retire?

It's not like Song, sending Song to Jinlan Mountain just lets him resolve his inner conflicts while taking a vacation.

With such talent, abundant in professional experience, not letting him manage the Riddlers would be a huge waste.

A waste that warrants divine retribution.

Jia Shisi is eager for someone competent enough to take over, so he can cultivate in peace.

When Jia Shisi took over the predecessor of the Riddlers years ago, it felt like forcing a duck onto a perch, prioritizing his combat power over other abilities.

Given a choice, Jia Shisi surely preferred focusing on cultivation like a Sword Dao expert, calling him only when a fight was needed.

He became the head of the Riddlers due to timely change needs, involving fighting, killing decisively, and a need for deterrence within Dadui.

Now, the deterrence is aimed at Dadui's outside, not much needed internally.

Inside Dadui, even minor Evil Dao have become rare endangered creatures, they can't be completely eliminated on one hand, while serving as teaching material on the other.

All death-row felons added together, reducing executions daily, might suffice for the Yang-destroying Devil for half a month.

To ensure the Yang-destroying Devil gains clearer understanding and cautious execution, it's all lined up and executed together yearly during the autumn equinox.

Now being executed are nearly all outsiders causing trouble.

Thus, not many have been executed, timid ones hardly dared enter Dadui and begin to trouble West Qian...

Yu Ziqing, benevolent at heart, allowed the relocated civilians from West Qian, if no issues arose during scrutiny, to be mixed up first, then arranged in East Dui as watched.

Dadui has developed well-rounded management methods and a reliable Cabinet, Yu Ziqing merely ensured the overall direction wasn't skewed.

Whatever the issue might be, first find a trial point to test, success follows, being cautious never errs.

Daqian probably hasn't had time to deal with other matters lately, the new Jinyiwei Commander, such an important position, surely took considerable time to sort out.

While there was an uproar in the southern land, here in Dazhen, the Deceitful Ghost transported massive basic supplies, starting large-scale deliveries.

Emperor Zhen even personally inspected, checking them once.

With basic supplies, he could maintain control, otherwise, people starving wouldn't work even with a sword at their throat.
