Why Exactly Did His Future Self Do This?

Su Ye remained silent for a moment.

The speed at which you've developed your own system is already quite good, isn't it? You're not exactly slacking off, are you? It hasn't been that long at all, and the basic system is only one small realm away from being completed.

But now you're telling me the empire is going to implement a new system?

Su Ye remained expressionless.

The Old Man glanced at it and continued, "Of course, it's not that the Empire doesn't look forward to the new system. After all, when will the new system be born, how long will it take to gain the World Will's approval, and what will happen to the rules—all of these things take time."

"But now, the Empire doesn't have enough time, and the Empire can't guarantee that when the Godfall Sea occurs, it won't happen here in the Empire."

Hearing the Old Man's words, Su Ye fell silent.

The empire's considerations were not without reason, nor was it a case of turning its back on someone; the empire could not place its hopes on any one individual.

A new system has emerged, but a problem arises: without being tested or refined, and without practical application, what makes the empire believe that this new system is the future?

What's the difference between this and gambling?

What kind of existence is an empire?

Just kidding. This is a very serious matter, not something to be gambled on. The Empire can't afford to gamble, much less should it.

If they lose the gamble, it will be utterly catastrophic. Under such circumstances, would the empire still dare to gamble?

Who would gamble with their own race?

Unless there's truly no other way out, who would dare make such a gamble?

"The empire has its own considerations; in short, all of this is for the empire's sake," the Old Man said softly.

Su Ye took a deep breath and nodded.

"What happened in the Godfall Sea?" Su Ye asked the Old Man with some curiosity.

The Old Man looked at Su Ye and then recounted everything that had happened in the Godfall Sea.

"Seal? Banish?" Su Ye was taken aback and looked at the Old Man.

"Yes, that's right. That's the information brought back by the three Eternal Level powerhouses of the Empire," the Old Man said in a deep voice.

"According to what those three Eternal Level powerhouses said, that Golden Being should be on our side, right?" Su Ye said in a deep voice, looking at the Old Man.

The Old Man shook his head.

"On our side?"

"Isn't that right?" Su Ye was taken aback and looked at the Old Man.

"Who told you that He showed mercy to the empire's powerful figures? Does He mean He's on our side?" the Old Man said expressionlessly.

Su Ye was stunned, then realized what was happening, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He knew exactly who the Golden Being was.

But the empire doesn't know that.

The empire didn't even know His identity, or what His race was.

Good for the empire?

Is it simply because He hasn't attacked the Empire, or does it mean He has acknowledged the Empire's side?

Stop joking.

Su Ye knew this, therefore he could believe it.

But what about the empire?

The Empire was unaware of these things; from the Empire's perspective, the Golden Being was an unknown powerful being.

It might be related to the Empire, but that's just a possibility. Judging from the Golden Being's scheming, it's hard for the Empire to guarantee whether the Golden Being is truly on its side.

After all, to say that the Empire would actually believe a powerful being capable of scheming against all the heavens would be far too naive.

If Su Ye didn't know the Golden Being's identity, Su Ye wouldn't believe that such a powerful being would set up such a scheme.

Having deceived so many people, who would dare to easily believe His words?

Su Ye now understands that it was all his fault.

The empire reacted again.

After all, what if such a being is actually plotting against the empire?

This is also the reason for the empire's stress response.

An unknown powerful figure, even if he has a connection with the empire, the empire has no records of him, and even after searching through history books, not a single related record can be found.

Can you believe that He harbors no ill will towards the empire?

Would the empire dare to make such a decision?

The empire is no joke; a single wrong decision can have drastically different consequences. Therefore, extreme caution is the only option.

If the empire didn't act this way, it would have perished long ago. Do you really think the empire has few enemies?

The empire has never lacked enemies; it's just that the empire is very cautious. The higher one goes, the more comprehensive the considerations become.

"The empire dares not gamble on the goodwill of an unknown powerful figure. To place one's hopes on such vague goodwill is the most foolish thing to do," the Old Man said in a deep voice, looking at Su Ye with a serious expression in his eyes.

"Understood." Su Ye took a deep breath and nodded.

From the Empire's perspective, there was nothing wrong with what it did; after all, this was what the Empire was supposed to do.

"The empire seems constrained in many ways, but the center of the empire cannot be decided in just a few words. Sometimes, we need to consider more and further ahead," the Old Man said softly.

"I understand, Old Man." Su Ye nodded.

After chatting with the Old Man for a few minutes...

Su Ye returned to his Territory and sat in the Palace of Origin.

Su Ye recalled the Old Man's words and the empire's decisions, and then smiled.

"Tsk tsk, you've been reading too many novels. You always think you're a savior of the world," Su Ye muttered, a hint of indifference in his eyes.

Although Su Ye has never said it, his actions have always placed him in the position of a savior.

"I may be important, but the empire has never held me back." Su Ye couldn't help but think, "Did the empire get to where it is today because of me?"

It is thanks to the countless sages who dedicated themselves to this cause.

He overestimated himself and underestimated the empire.

The empire has never been a drag on; this has always been the case.

"Let's get started! We can't go on like this." Su Ye thought to himself, closing his eyes and beginning to cultivate.

The third minor realm of the Third Realm needs to be developed as soon as possible, so that I can contribute my share to the empire.

At least for now, this is all Su Ye can do; there's no more Su Ye can do.

After all, the empire still has its own path to follow.

This era does not belong to Su Ye, and this Epoch does not belong to Su Ye either. Su Ye's Epoch will be in the next Epoch.

In this era, this Epoch, the empire still exists.

The birth of the new system signifies the arrival of Epoch, which requires time to evolve, and Su Ye has come to some realizations.

The point at which I will play a role is not in this Epoch, but in the Next Epoch.

"Golden Being, does that mean my future self is doing this to remove all obstacles?" Su Ye couldn't help but wonder.

"Or is there another reason? Are all the Emperor no longer alive? That can't be right. It's impossible for all those Emperors to have appeared." Su Ye couldn't help but wonder, why would his future self do this?
