808: justice

A great man once said.

Politics is about making as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.

Before The Female Emperor died, she was a Fifth Realm Cultivator. Although she had only just entered the Fifth Realm, she was still a Fifth Realm Cultivator.

If The Female Emperor could be turned into a comrade, it would be equivalent to Huaxia gaining a gold-medal fighter.

After a moment of thought, Yang Dian suppressed this idea.

Earth was still too weak.

It was true that he could step into the Fifth Realm soon, but the others were too far behind.

Even for Lao Bai, who was also using a cheat, the time required to reach Fifth Realm technology would be measured in decades or centuries.

Under these circumstances, having a Fifth Realm-strength The Female Emperor appear on Earth would be too dangerous.

What if she went on a rampage after he left Earth?

Without absolute strength, Yang Dian could not truly trust The Female Emperor.

"So, there are only two choices now."

"The first is to kill The Female Emperor and nip the danger in the bud."

"But The Female Emperor might not necessarily die."

"Since she was able to escape from under the nose of the King and Soul transmigrate to Earth."

"It is hard to say whether she could Transmigrate again and come to Earth for revenge after her strength recovers."

"So, only one choice remains."

Lost in thought, Yang Dian extended his index finger, which was glowing with a faint white light, and tapped the back of Li Xinyao's head.

In a place unknown to anyone, that speck of white light transformed into a massive net containing concepts that only exist in ideals—justice, beauty, kindness, benevolence, compassion, and so on. It enveloped the place where Li Xinyao's Soul resided, wrapping it up tightly.

Yang Dian called this net 'Justice'.

Justice that was beneficial to Huaxia.

Under the illumination of the light of justice, the person being illuminated would, in accordance with Yang Dian's thoughts, imperceptibly become upright, righteous, and great.

Upright, righteous, and great in a way that was beneficial to Huaxia according to Yang Dian's thoughts.

In short, it was re-education.

For instance, at this moment, under the illumination of the light of justice, The Female Emperor, who had been chattering incessantly in Li Xinyao's mind, suddenly stopped speaking.

For some reason, she suddenly recalled the ideal she had set in her heart when she was young, after sneaking out of the imperial palace and witnessing the suffering of the world.

To allow ordinary people and Cultivators to coexist harmoniously.

Ordinary people would not have to bend their knees and kowtow, calling them 'Master' and debasing themselves to the dust upon seeing a Cultivator.

Nobles and aristocrats would not be allowed to treat ordinary people like cattle or horses, bullying them at will.

Or even keep ordinary people as livestock, treating them as Materials.

She clearly remembered that her uncle, in order to refine a Yin-attribute Magic Treasure, had forced all the women in a city to become pregnant at a specific time and then induced labor at a specific time.

Just to obtain 9,999 'Materials' born in the Yin year, Yin month, and Yin hour.

When she was little, she felt that doing so was wrong and wanted to change everything.

But as time passed, her ideals were buried deep in the abyss, never to see the light of day again.

But under the illumination of the light of justice, the ideals buried deep in the abyss radiated light once more.

"Is the Huaxia of today not more than just similar to the world I imagined back then?"

"Isn't this the world I imagined, exactly as it should be?"

"If... if I cooperate with the people of Huaxia, will they help me?"

"Help me fight my way back to the Wangyue Divine Dynasty, make the heavens and earth clear again, and restore the cycle of order."

Feeling the remnant Soul in the place where Li Xinyao's Soul resided gradually stabilize, Yang Dian smiled and curled the corner of his mouth. Then, with a thought, he left the spatial interlayer and appeared in the not-so-large office.

Seeing Yang Dian appear suddenly, Li Qiang, who had just picked up his thermos to drink some water, hurriedly put it down, almost choking on his goji berry water. He rushed over to Yang Dian in two or three steps, wanting to salute but not knowing what posture to strike:

"Gen... General Yang?"

"You must be the Commander of the Expeditionary Force, right?"

"I have seen your holographic projection on the official Expeditionary Force website, and I have also comprehended your Martial Dao imprint in the [territory map]."

"The 'Yi Wood Longevity Technique' I am currently Cultivating was also created by you."

"It's just too hard to Cultivate."

"General, my current strength is Martial Dao Level 6, Qi Blood Dragon Transformation Realm. To step into the Martial Dao Seventh Realm, I need to circulate 6,561 Qi Blood traces in my body to outline the Yi Wood Dao runes."

"At my current Cultivation progress, I certainly won't be able to do it for another seven or eight years."

"You've already created the System, can't you let the System..."

Before Li Qiang could finish his sentence, he heard Li Xinyao beside him cough twice.

Realizing what the cough meant, he froze for a moment, then subconsciously reached out and slapped his own mouth twice.

"Oh my, look at my head, look at my mouth."

"Why did I just blurt out what I usually only mutter to myself?"

"General, please don't mind."

"I was just... just..."

Watching Li Qiang's flustered appearance and the aura of regret radiating from him, Yang Dian smiled and nodded.

"I have already noted that the difficulty for ordinary people to Cultivate and circulate Qi Blood to outline the rule Dao runes is too high."

"The System will be updated soon. For those who want to take a shortcut, the System will open a 'Guidance' function to assist in outlining the rule Dao runes, reducing the difficulty of Cultivation."

"But you also need to know that you get out what you put in."

"The process of outlining rule Dao runes is also a process of tempering one's own mental will."

"If you use the 'Guidance' function to achieve a Breakthrough, your mental will and Soul strength will be significantly weaker than a Martial Artist who Cultivates on their own."

"And will is something that concerns the subsequent comprehension of rules."

"In short, using the 'Guidance' function allows you to master more power in advance and enter the Alien Planet to compete for more resources."

"Cultivating on your own might be slower in the early stages, but it builds a solid foundation for explosive growth later."

"Both have their pros and cons. How you choose is up to you."

Saying this, Yang Dian added a warning:

"On the path of Martial Dao, there is no turning back once you take a step."

"Do not regret your choice once you have made it."

After speaking, Yang Dian looked at Li Xinyao again.

"Can you tell me about your talent ability?"

"A prediction-type talent. Since Old William, you are the only one on Earth who has Awakened this ability."

Facing Yang Dian's gentle gaze, before Li Xinyao could even speak, The Female Emperor, who felt the trace of breath Yang Dian had deliberately let out in her mind, screamed out:

"How is this possible!"

"Why would such a powerful person appear in this small world of yours!"

"What Fourth Realm Star-Shattering existence."

"It's more! It's more than that!"

"I can feel that his strength far exceeds that of an ordinary Fourth Realm Cultivator, and he is only a step away from the Fifth Realm!"

"He can step into the Fifth Realm Great Sun Realm at any time."

"The Qi Revival in this world has only been going on for a little over ten years, how could such an existence appear?"

"This is impossible!"

"How can this be!"

Hearing The Female Emperor scream, Li Xinyao's eyes lit up.

It's good that their General is strong.

Since the General is strong and possesses the power to suppress the 'The Female Emperor' in her mind, she dares to tell the whole story about the The Female Emperor.

Otherwise, if he couldn't beat the guy in her mind and she exposed her, wouldn't that be a disaster?
