Chapter 469: Chapter 2: The Fate of the Nation and the Changing Skies
“In my own hands?” Li Xueqian seed to understand yet not understand.
“Right, if you want to know whether chanical Techniques can achieve the effect of a Teleportation Array, you should be looking into the future of chanical Techniques, rather than giving up.”
“The future of chanical Techniques… President, you invented the Teleportation Array, do you think chanical Techniques can match the effect of the Teleportation Array?” Li Xueqian wanted affirmation, just a nod from Wang Sheng, and he would regain his confidence.
However, Wang Sheng did not do so.
What he valued was Li Xueqian’s spirit, the spirit to develop and expand chanical Techniques. Even though he was not clear to what extent Li Xueqian could develop chanical Techniques, if he nodded, Li Xueqian might be able to make chanical Techniques thrive, but he would most likely be confined and lose that spirit.
This was what he did not want to see.
“I don’t know if it can match the Teleportation Array, which is why I want you to try it yourself. Whether it can match or not remains to be seen; giving up is the most foolish decision.”
Hearing the first part, Li Xueqian was sowhat disappointed.
But he took the latter words to heart.
He was always a person of strong will, but this ti, he was just stunned by the announcent of the Teleportation Array.
With the guidance from Wang Sheng, his heart gradually recovered.
“Thank you, President, I will definitely see to it… not to create that future!”
“The teachable child!” Wang Sheng nodded with a smile.
He was indeed looking forward to the age of chanical Techniques science!
After pondering, he still decided to offer a few more words of advice.
“The path of Arrays and the path of chanical Techniques are not incompatible; they can be combined. The sa goes for other things; you need to understand the essence.”
“This world is very interesting, don’t you want to know why Qi-Blood can make chanisms operate? Or why birds can fly even without reaching Great Grandmaster… Once you discover the answers to these, perhaps you’ll understand how to develop chanical Techniques.”
The world was different, and Wang Sheng dared not transplant things from his previous life directly, because he was also unclear whether those things would be useful in this world.
It would be fine if they were useful, but if not, speaking recklessly could only mislead the younger generation.
Because when Wang Sheng provided guidance in teaching, he always imparted universally applicable principles, not going into the details of other matters.
This was also a significant reason why he didn’t bring up the technology of his previous life.
Science must be the science of this world.
He ntioned Qi-Blood and birds to stimulate Li Xueqian to discover for himself.
He had a premonition that Li Xueqian would not disappoint him.
Watching Li Xueqian fall into thought, he smiled and left directly.
When Li Xueqian ca back to his senses, he found that the Honorary President had already left.
“The Honorary President has already left. It looks like you’re truly valued!” said a mber from the chanical Departnt enviously, noting that the Leader’s Master had offered advice several tis, sothing not just anyone could experience.
“Yes, Li, the Leader’s Master places great importance on chanical Techniques, so don’t let him down.” The speaker was the Vice President of the chanical Departnt, also from the Spirit Clan, who had co to attend the celebration through Wang Sheng’s Transformation Technique.
He too was envious of the attention Li Xueqian received.
“I will work hard.”
As he regained his confidence, he also felt no small amount of pressure.
“I will not disappoint you…”
At this point, one of the great figures of Datong truly began to awaken, starting on his own path.
And Wang Sheng had no idea what kind of person his casual encouragent would help create. He had originally planned to return but was then detained by Huangtian.
“Master, a power suddenly appeared above the National College not long ago, circling around. The power seems similar to the energy of the Destiny Dynasty you ntioned. Are we also walking the path of the Destiny Dynasty?” Huangtian was quite worried; he did not want to follow the sa path as the Destiny Dynasty, well aware that it was a path to ruin.
“Similar to the energy of the Destiny Dynasty?” Wang Sheng furrowed his brow.
He was certain that Datong differed from the Destiny Dynasty, and moreover, the first dynasty’s Spirit World was still being suppressed and shrinking, without any revival; however, Huangtian’s words wouldn’t be false.
“Take to see it.”
Without seeing it, he could not make a judgnt.
Huangtian nodded because the matter involved the Destiny Dynasty, so he had brought it to Wang Sheng’s attention, knowing well Wang Sheng’s aversion to the Destiny Dynasty.
Soon, they arrived at the political core of Datong, the National College.
All the major national affairs were formulated here.
Upon arrival, he “saw” the energy circling above the National College.
His Divine Thought reached out, and soon he understood so details.
“Sowhat similar to the Incense Fire Faith, but not entirely the sa… Is this the national fortune?”
The once Destiny Dynasty was actually built upon the national fortune but was a result of the Yun Demon’s cunning exploitation and squeezing.
Therefore, that kind of national fortune, in essence, was not anything good.
Wang Sheng had encountered the national fortune of the Destiny Dynasty when facing the Spirit World before. That power lacked the grandeur of national fortune and was even filled with resentnt and poison.
It was the grudges of lives harvested by force.
However, the national fortune circling above the National College of Datong was different; it was a truly pure national fortune.
“When did this national fortune appear?”
“Just at…” Huangtian ntioned a ti.
Wang Sheng understood, the ergence of this national fortune began after the massive disappearance of other dynasties’ Spirit Worlds.
He had a rough understanding of the cause.
Presumably, national fortune, like Energy Stones, might be sothing that naturally existed.
“Master, is there a problem with this national fortune?” Huangtian also referred to this power as national fortune following Wang Sheng.
“There’s no problem, it’s even a good thing.”
This was normal for a nation’s destiny. Although Datong had just begun to develop, its strength was undoubtedly powerful; otherwise, even if the Spirit World disappeared, there might not be a real surge of national destiny energy.
“With this destiny energy in existence, as long as the officials of Datong are within the National College, they will be protected. If any petty individuals try to take action against the officials inside the college, they will suffer the backlash of an entire country’s power.”
The existence of the Spiritual Body allowed him to see very clearly.
But what mattered most was that he had just tried to threaten the officials within the college and actually felt the threat emanating from the national destiny.
Once he took action, the national destiny would respond in kind, leading to such a conclusion.
“Will it protect the officials inside the National College?”
“Yes, it might even protect any person from Datong who enters the National College.”
The state was not owned by the officials, and neither was its destiny. It was closely linked to the dawn, so Wang Sheng speculated that it would not only be protecting the officials.
“And it’s still weak now. When it grows stronger, there will undoubtedly be more places it can protect.”
Wang Sheng dared not speak too confidently about such things as national destiny, but he relayed all he knew.
“There’s no harm in it, right?”
The more Huangtian learned about the Destiny Dynasty, the more he feared such things.
“Rest assured, this kind of national destiny is not that of the Destiny Dynasty. Although similar, they are completely different.” Wang Sheng reassured Huangtian.
“Thank you for your guidance, sir. But should we just let this destiny energy develop on its own?”
“Besides you, can anyone else see it?”
“Not currently.” Huangtian honestly replied, having had others try to see it before.
Wang Sheng wasn’t surprised. Though the birth of the national destiny was related to the entire country, as the Leader, he was certainly exceptional.
“I don’t have a good solution, but letting it circulate freely is indeed not a good approach…”
The birth of the national destiny greatly aided the country, but it also exposed a vulnerability.
If it beca a point of contention and the national destiny was extinguished, even if it didn’t lead to the country’s downfall, it would likely result in incessant catastrophes and frequent accidents.
Datong had many ideas passed down by him and was established by his followers; naturally, he wouldn’t just stand idly by.
He thought for a mont and suddenly rembered sothing from legend.
The Nine Cauldrons!
Legend had it that the Nine Cauldrons suppressed the nine provinces and prevented the world from chaos.
There were also many legends that the Nine Cauldrons bore the world’s destiny, which is why they could suppress the world; should they disappear, the world would be in turmoil.
Naturally, Wang Sheng didn’t an to find the actual Nine Cauldrons but conceived a possibility.
“Instead of letting the national destiny drift freely, it would be better to create an object to bear it, crafting sothing akin to the Nine Cauldrons as Datong’s final resort.”
Wang Sheng shared this thought with Huangtian.
“An object to bear the national destiny, sir, is this thod feasible?”
Huangtian had never heard of such a thod.
“I’m not sure, but it’s worth a try, after all, leaving the national destiny to drift isn’t ideal either.”
Hearing this, Huangtian clenched his teeth and said, “I trust you, sir, but what should we use to create this bearer?”
“That will be your task now. There aren’t any significant issues at hand, and Datong is vast, you can take your ti searching.”
“I understand, sir.”
Another task was added to Datong’s list, but as long as it was beneficial to Datong, Huangtian was more than willing.
“In that case, I’ll leave the rest to you. Once it’s crafted, inform , and I’ll handle it.”
“Understood!”
Wang Sheng said no more and disappeared, returning to Qingshan Village to cultivate.
And Huangtian began to handle Datong’s affairs.
However, what neither of them realized was that the birth of the national destiny wasn’t as simple as it seed on the surface.
Not long after the birth of the national destiny, stars twinkled and a “tide” suddenly erged in the starry sky.
The ergence of this Tidal Energy seed to shake heaven and earth, causing more energy to breach, as if coming from nowhere,
bringing endless hope and seemingly heralding boundless vitality.
However, these energies did not disperse; instead, they accumulated power in the starry sky.
Even so, so sensed sothing amiss in the starry space.
Cultivating, Wang Sheng opened his eyes: “It seems sothing is stirring, what a pity I lack the power…”
He had a premonition, but couldn’t identify the cause.
But in worlds with deeper foundations, excitent was apparent.
“The predicted tide is coming!”
“The tide will bring endless vitality, as well as countless slaughters. This is an opportunity!”
The Kui Tian Monarch and his faction were even more delighted.
“With the tide erging, space is impacted. Perhaps we can advance by ten years—an unexpected boon!”
“The tide appears in the Void, and according to prophecy, will erupt in about fifty years. Before then, we must seize that world!”
…
Countless worlds with profound backgrounds sharpened their blades, while others remained oblivious.
The changes in the starry sky, what they would bring, remained a mystery to all…
