502: Control the Five Elements, Fuxi Qin

“Hey! Aren't you being a bit rude?”

Salaman's forehead pulsed with visible veins, looking quite indignant. She said, “I genuinely didn't sense any strong Elemental Power. Rather, it's you who guided my kin to research elements and abandon their faith! Aren't you the real culprit?”

Laila shook her head coldly, “I didn't. That Elemental Power has nothing to do with me.”

“So, you've also been derelict in your duties, haven't you!”

Salaman seemed to have caught her colleague in a blunder. She said, “As a God of Elements, to not even know the source of Elemental Power, no wonder you were demoted!”

“Stop arguing.”

Qin Yang tapped the Dragon head handle of the throne, like a leader in a meeting stopping subordinates from passing the buck to each other.

As soon as the Emperor spoke, his two female subordinates immediately quieted down.

Qin Yang was silent for a moment, then asked Laila, “You said that Elemental Power has nothing to do with you, but you must have looked into it. Tell me, what's special about it?”

Laila nodded slightly and said,

“The Elemental Power I control is divided into five types: Lightning, Fire, Ice, Light, and Dark.”

“Besides these, there are also four other elements: Wind, Earth, Water, and Metal, which belong to Nature's Power.”

“These are two separate systems, yet they form the foundation of the entire world.”

“But the out-of-control Elemental Power has merged these two systems, simplifying them into Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.”

“This system generates and restrains each other, and can evolve the missing four elements of Light, Dark, Lightning, and Wind. In fact, I believe it can evolve everything…”

“Alright, I understand.”

Hearing this, Qin Yang raised a hand to interrupt.

He looked at his two subordinates, smiled, and said, “Not being able to perceive this power is not your fault.”

Hearing this, Laila's eyes lit up. She asked, “Emperor, do you know the origin of this power?”

Qin Yang nodded.

Of course, he knew.

Isn't this the Five Elements attribute?

No wonder the Divine Authority of Elements couldn't control it.

This system simply doesn't belong to this world.

“Was it bestowed by Yang Jian?”

Qin Yang wondered in his heart.

The Human World also has the Five Elements attribute. Professions like Daoists and Formation Masters operate within this system.

These Huaxia professions were originally created by the Immortals and Gods.

The Five Elements power in the Elf World is highly likely to be related to them.

From the Night Elves' betrayal of Salaman, it's very probable that 'Demon Eye' was behind it.

Its goal was to throw the Elf World into chaos and provoke more conflicts.

“It really is hard to deal with.”

Qin Yang propped his head, muttering to himself.

As something created by Yang Jian, Demon Eye not only possesses powerful and eerie strength but is also skilled in using schemes.

On one hand, it used brute force, allowing the Orcs to invade.

On the other hand, it used subtle means, causing the Elves to split.

If he hadn't intervened beforehand,

This stratagem of alienation alone could have caused the Elves to crumble, leading to their self-destruction.

“If it's the Five Elements attribute, it's indeed a bit tricky.”

Qin Yang had a headache.

Although those Night Elves had angered him, he didn't want to slaughter them.

After all, Jianmu was still waiting for the Elves' souls for nourishment, and he couldn't fall into Demon Eye's trap.

He had intended to use the Divine Authority of Elements and Nature's Divine Authority to strip the Night Elves of all their power, making these unfilial and disloyal beings into existences capable only of farming.

However, the Five Elements system emerged.

Thus, he couldn't make the Night Elves comply in a relatively “peaceful” manner.

“How about killing a few of the ringleaders?”

Qin Yang considered.

He still felt this method wouldn't work.

Decapitation strikes are only suitable for relatively loosely organized forces.

If he encountered a stubborn clan, killing one leader would only lead to another appearing.

Killing too many might just satiate Jianmu.

“I still need to find a way to stop them from using the Five Elements power.”

Qin Yang pondered.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

He certainly couldn't strip away the Five Elements power.

But if it was just about controlling the Five Elements power, he did have a way.

Thinking of this, he slightly raised his hand and summoned an exquisite Divine Artifact.

It was an ancient zither, carved from pale pink jade, with crystal-clear silk strings connected to it, emitting a soft white glow.

The moment the ancient zither appeared, it let out bursts of ethereal humming.

Upon hearing it, Salaman and Laila immediately felt their hearts peaceful and serene, as if they had been purified.

“This is…”

Seeing the ancient zither, Laila's eyes lit up.

Indeed, this was the Divine Artifact from another world, the Fuxi Zither, which she had previously returned to Qin Yang.

However, in her hands, the Fuxi Zither was just an ordinary musical instrument.

The sounds produced by plucking its strings, though beautiful, were not as ethereal and magical as they were now.

There was nothing she could do; she was not the Fuxi Zither's owner.

But in Qin Yang's hands, the Fuxi Zither's power was immense.

【Divine Artifact】: Fuxi Zither (Unique)

【Quality】: Rainbow Grade.

【Description】: A musical instrument crafted by Fuxi from jade and heavenly silkworm silk. Its zither music can bring peace and serenity to one's heart. By plucking its strings, one can control the foundation of all things.

【Entry 1】: Pluck the strings to purify the mind and dispel all negative effects, including Divine Authority.

【Entry 2】: Pluck the strings to control Yin and Yang and the Five Elements with music; if Metal is lacking, supplement Metal; if Fire is strong, extinguish Fire.

As a Divine Artifact, the Fuxi Zither's function was simple yet extremely powerful.

Firstly, dispelling all negative effects was an “absolute value.”

Even negative statuses imposed by Gods could be instantly dispelled, without reason.

Moreover, it only required plucking the strings, making the operation extremely simple.

The second entry was even more powerful!

One must know, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.

The entire world's operation is within this Yin and Yang and Five Elements.

To adjust Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, this was almost the power of a Creation God.

However, the embarrassing thing was… this entry had to be activated with “music.”

But Qin Yang was simply a musical idiot!

He was tone-deaf when singing, and you want him to play the zither?

This was too difficult for him!

Qin Yang hadn't not tried.

He had previously found a few simple scores, wanting to learn from scratch.

However, with Qin Yang's talent, combined with the Fuxi Zither's power, what he played was simply demonic music, almost sending Cai Wenji, who was teaching him music, to her grave.

Since then, Qin Yang had never touched the Fuxi Zither again; this was the only Divine Artifact he couldn't “master.”

“Perhaps, I should still learn music.”

“Maybe it wasn't my problem that I didn't learn last time.”

Qin Yang thought to himself.

Even if his talent was poor, he couldn't possibly fail to play even “Two Tigers,” could he?

It must have been Zhao Feiyan's poor teaching; as a dancer, she only had a slight understanding of music.

“How about going to the Bronze Sparrow Terrace and going all-in to summon Cai Wenji?”

Qin Yang's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He hadn't summoned a concubine in a long time; thinking about it made him a little excited… 【Retired Emperors: It's time to draw cards again. Father Emperors, predict who will come this time?】
