107: I choose: Follow destiny

Professions do not have absolute balance, but they do have tendencies.

Those with strong combat power have weak functionality.

Those with strong functionality have poor combat power.

Professions like Qimen Celestial Master, which can reveal heavenly secrets, are usually not good at combat.

However, the Supreme Emperor profession not only possesses the mighty power to summon meteors but also has the profound ability to predict heavenly secrets.

Isn't this excelling in both civil and military aspects?

“No, it’s excelling in both civil and military aspects to an absolute degree!”

Si Zhenfeng's gaze sharpened.

In the eyes of them, the administrators,

If civil and military aspects are separated, they cannot amount to much.

But if one excels in both civil and military aspects to an absolute degree, the destructive power is too great.

When Si Zhenfeng learned that the Supreme Emperor could also predict heavenly secrets,

he immediately felt a deep fear.

The Qin Family was not originally a commoner family, and now with a person who excels in both civil and military aspects to an absolute degree, if allowed to develop, it will inevitably affect the structure of the Jiuzhou Federation in the future.

If they cannot be used by the government, then the grand vision of a centralized Great Jiuzhou will never be realized!

“We need to do something.”

Si Zhenfeng muttered to himself and said to his subordinate official, “Go, gather the other Four Emperors; we must discuss how to deal with the rise of the Qin Family.”

“Understood.”

The subordinate official nodded in agreement but remained standing still.

Seeing that his subordinate did not move, Si Zhenfeng frowned and asked, “Is there anything else?”

However, the subordinate official remained motionless, like a wooden sculpture.

Si Zhenfeng's heart tightened, thinking, 'This isn't good.'

Just then, a voice rang out, “If you’re going to discuss how to deal with the Qin Family, how can you leave out this old man?”

Hearing this voice, Si Zhenfeng immediately realized who the newcomer was.

He wanted to let out a long sigh but couldn't.

At this moment, the space in the entire room had been frozen.

Even dust particles were suspended in the air, no longer floating.

Behind the dumbfounded subordinate official, a white-robed old man appeared.

He was Lin Xuan, one of the Four Emperors of Jiuzhou.

“You don’t need to speak; just listen to me.”

Lin Xuan walked up to Si Zhenfeng and said sternly, “Destiny has its own fixed course; don’t think of forcibly reversing it with so-called schemes.”

At this point, Lin Xuan gazed at Si Zhenfeng, with a warning in his tone, and said, “Qin Yang is my grandson; I do not wish for his growth to suffer any interference or obstruction. If you understand, just say 'understood' in your mind.”

“Under…stood.”

Si Zhenfeng thought in his mind.

Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction and said, “I will continue to protect Jiuzhou because my home is here.”

With that, he waved his hand slightly, and his figure transformed into a wisp of smoke and dispersed.

Immediately, the frozen space-time began to flow again.

Si Zhenfeng immediately collapsed onto the sofa, his face pale.

As the Sword Emperor of Jiu Zhou, Lin Xuan being able to freeze space-time did not surprise him.

What frightened Si Zhenfeng was that Lin Xuan could already hear thoughts!

This meant that all schemes were ineffective against him!

“The Qin Family can no longer be restricted; we can only follow the will of Heaven…”

Si Zhenfeng thought in his mind.

At this moment, the subordinate official asked with concern, “Saint Si, your complexion looks a bit off. Are you feeling unwell?”

Si Zhenfeng shook his head slightly and said, “I’m fine. The meeting is canceled. Go and inform the Four Emperors of my stance on the Qin Family.”

Hearing this, the subordinate official immediately took out paper and pen.

After a moment of contemplation, Si Zhenfeng said, “I, Si Zhenfeng, follow the will of Heaven.”

...By the time the Professionals arrived at Jingming City by airship, it was already evening.

They had received news that the crisis was resolved halfway through their journey.

Many believed that the scale of this invasion was not as large as imagined.

But when they saw the huge meteor crater outside the city, they all gasped in cold air.

Flames still burned in the enormous meteor crater, and from the airship, it looked like the entrance to Hell.

Seeing this, all the Professionals felt a chill down their spines.

This kind of terrain-altering battle was beyond their imagination.

And the instigator of all this, deeply concealing his merits and fame, floated above the clouds.

Summoning meteors required the Power of Stars.

At this moment, Qin Yang was bathed in starlight, accumulating the Power of Stars while reviewing his own changes.

“My Mental Energy attribute is still too low; I’ll prioritize Mental Energy from now on.”

Looking at his attribute panel, Qin Yang pondered.

With the skill boosts, his attributes were temporarily sufficient.

Considering that the Mind Domain only consumed Mental Energy,

the direction for his next stage of attribute allocation was clear.

The higher the base Mental Energy, the wider the range of the Mind Domain.

Moreover, Qin Yang found that the Mental Energy bonus to the Mind Domain seemed to increase progressively.

Yun Yao's 200 points of Mental Energy could accommodate 100 Imperial City Guards.

According to this ratio, his 600 points of Mental Energy should only be able to hold 300 Imperial City Guards.

But in fact, with 600 points of Mental Energy, Qin Yang could place 1000 Imperial City Guards in his Mind Domain.

Furthermore, the area of the Domain had expanded by an unknown number of times.

Qin Yang guessed that when his Mental Energy reached 1000,

the area of the Mind Domain would be even larger than Shangjing City of the Jiuzhou Federation!

“From now on, this will be my base.”

“I should give the Mind Domain a name.”

Qin Yang thought with a smile, then looked at the skills that had leveled up this time.

The first was See Me As Heaven.

After upgrading to Lv2, in addition to forcing the opponent to kneel, it could also shock the opponent's mind, making them feel subservient.

This confirmed Qin Yang's conjecture: when See Me As Heaven was linked with Enlist All Races, the success rate directly doubled.

Upgrading Imperial Guards to Lv2 brought even more terrifying improvements.

As a summoned entity, it gained a new skill: Execute First, Report Later.

This skill allowed Imperial Guards to enter a patrol state.

In the patrol state, Imperial Guards would transform into hawk-hounds, automatically searching for targets hostile to the Supreme Emperor, and if they sensed a significant threat from a target, they would kill it on their own.

Qin Yang was very satisfied with this skill.

Thunderous methods, though crude, were extremely effective in specific periods.

The most important thing was that he didn't have to worry about it.

As for “Summon Hero,” it was purely a numerical increase.

Now, when summoning a general, it allowed them to use two skills.

The change seemed small, but the combat power increased by leaps and bounds.

Take Su Daji, for example… just throwing out two illusion-type skills could cause turmoil in an entire city.

These three skill upgrades

all brought significant improvements to Qin Yang.

However,

what was truly terrifying was the newly acquired profession skill, Eternal Imperial Power.

This was a passive skill with only one effect.

It made skills like Exterminate the Nine Clans, which calculated Imperial Power consumption based on the target's Rank, also calculate Qin Yang's own Rank.

Simply put, the closer Qin Yang's Rank was to the target, the less consumption there was.

And for targets with a lower Rank than himself, using Nine Clan Stripping no longer required any Imperial Power consumption.

Now,

the Level 60 Zhong Yuan was no longer qualified to be a unit of measurement for Nine Clan Stripping.

The new unit of measurement was Xu Nantian, Old Xu… The Retired Emperors: I had writer's block today and almost rewrote two chapters. I will make up for the deficit with four updates tomorrow~
