"An old technique brought out from the past?"
The Second Prince, upon hearing this, asked, "Are you sure this is sothing the Demon Clan obtained from the old days?"
Lin Yue couldn’t help but give the Second Prince a glance, then he said, "I’m not certain of its authenticity either, but it was the Star Lord who ntioned it, and I deduce... there’s a high likelihood it’s true."
He harbored so doubts in his heart.
Even the Second Prince and his Master, among others, were not sure how Xiahou Shou, after he defected to the Demon Clan, was able to aid them. At most, they could only speculate based on the existence of the three worlds: the old days, Yanfu, and the Other Shore.
But when the Second Prince heard him say this, he first didn’t ask how Lin Yue knew but was rely seeking confirmation?
"So it was the Star Lord..."
The Second Prince suddenly realized, then nodded slightly and said, "Although he is too mad, he indeed does not walk the sa path as the Demon Clan, so that should be true."
Lin Yue pondered, the Second Prince actually believed the Star Lord?
"The techniques from the old days..." The Second Prince slowly shook his head and sighed, "It really is related to the Primal Son, no wonder this so-called true dream realm even leaves and the Crown Prince helpless."
Then, he looked at Lin Yue and said, "You ntioned just now that you roughly understand what the Demon Clan plans to do? Speak your thoughts."
Lin Yue pondered for a mont and then said, "Didn’t you say earlier, big brother, that the Crown Prince deduced, the Demon Clan’s next move is very likely aid at the Human Clan’s national fortune?"
The Second Prince nodded slightly and said, "I can tell you a bit, the key to the Crown Prince’s invincibility in Great Yong is the half of the Human Clan’s national fortune."
Lin Yue slowly nodded.
He had known this for a long ti.
"The final goal of the Demon Clan is to annihilate the Human Clan, which requires breaking the Great Yong Divine Formation and eliminating the Crown Prince’s threat."
Lin Yue said softly, "By this deduction, the Demon Clan is likely planning to use Liangwang City to snatch the Human Clan’s fortune, causing the Great Yong Kingdom’s national fortune to decline, until Great Yong’s national fortune is less than even half of the Human Clan’s, greatly reducing the threat of the Crown Prince."
Many years ago, the people of Liangwang City had already co to Great Yong.
Fortune discussed in terms of individuals is destiny.
Fortune discussed in terms of countries is national fortune.
Liangwang City is another Human Clan power outside of Great Yong. The fortune of Liangwang City combined with the national fortune of Great Yong constitutes the complete Human Clan fortune.
"So, no matter what the Demon Clan plans to do, it must revolve around ’lowering the national fortune of Great Yong, increasing the fortune of Liangwang City’ as the core."
Lin Yue continued, "It’s said that once one who proves the Dao transcends Heaven and Earth, it will not affect the Human Clan’s fortune. Naturally, the Demon Clan’s target is to reduce the number of Great Yong’s strong individuals and influence the direction of the common people’s hearts."
"And this so-called true dream seems to be constructing an ideal and beautiful world that targets only Great Yong. That’s the major threat."
"Although Great Yong has Heavenly Punishnt above, there shouldn’t be any great sinners, but there is also rit that can counterbalance sins and the shelter of official ranks and national fortune that can conceal sins. So as long as one is sowhat careful and doesn’t engage in insane massacres, they would not invoke Heavenly Punishnt."
"But this true dream is different; it can completely differentiate sins and rits."
"How many strong individuals have committed heinous sins in the past, but relying on the rits accumulated in bygone days, they have offset their sins?"
"Once rits and sins are separated, revealing the truth to everyone, can countless mortals truly accept that rits override sins?"
"Besides, the ans of accumulating rits for many people are indeed despicable."
"And that Divine Dream Envoy seems to also be planning to publically let countless mortals judge and execute."
Lin Yue spoke in a somber tone, "Although it’s still unknown how this so-called true dream realm will punish, the outco definitely won’t be good."
For those at high positions in Great Yong, accumulating rit has beco a ans.
Providing disaster relief, benefiting the masses, slaying great sinners... these rit-earning deeds have also beco a piece of fat cut and divided by the various powers.
Just like the Seventh Princess once said during the epidemic, the Twelfth Prince and other powers could have completely cured everyone, cutting off the epidemic’s spread, but to maintain a steady stream of rit, they deliberately only researched the kind of dicine that treats symptoms but not the root cause.
Once this matter becos public, what will countless mortals think?
"Punishnt is one aspect, and the direction of the common people’s hearts will also beco a major issue."
The Second Prince sighed and shook his head, "My brother and I utilised the Eye of Heaven to specially establish the Heavenly Punishnt Departnt to protect as many mortals as possible. It’s a pity that rules are just rules after all and can never offer a perfect solution... The human heart is ultimately unpredictable..."
There was a trace of sorrow and helplessness in his eyes, as if he had witnessed the cycles of history and mistakes over and over.
Lin Yue frowned slightly and couldn’t help but ask, "Second brother, if this continues, can Great Yong really preserve half of the Human Clan’s fortune?"
"I don’t know." The Second Prince slowly shook his head, "The Crown Prince is still calculating, but this true dream realm also seems to contain elents difficult to predict by fate, so he can only deduce from the current situation for the subsequent steps, and..."
Here, he sighed again before saying, "Even if there is so best response, the decline of Great Yong’s national fortune is foreseeable."
Lin Yue fell silent.
The Second Prince looked at Lin Yue and softly said, "Don’t worry, even if Great Yong’s national fortune is truly seized and the Divine Formation shattered, our Human Clan is not without ans of resistance. The Emperor, I, your Master... we haven’t lived through all these years for nothing."
"By the way, did the God Emperor leave behind any asures?" Lin Yue suddenly asked.
"There might be," the Second Prince said with a complex smile in his eyes, "Anyway, the Demon Clan doesn’t know that the God Emperor has died. That, at least, is a deterrent."
