"Great changes in the heavenly workings?"
Upon hearing this, the councilors of the Two Halls did not dare overlook the matter.
Councilor Gu asked, "Where does the variable lie? Can you explain it clearly?"
Councilor Qiu shook his head. "That is beyond Qiu's ability to explain. At most, Qiu can discern fragments of the heavenly workings; I am far from capable of distinguishing every minute detail."
Daoist Wan spoke at this moment, asking only the crucial question. "Is it beneficial to us? Will it hinder this assault?"
Councilor Qiu pondered briefly. "Qiu cannot yet see that clearly. But one thing is certain: whether we attack or not, this change will still emerge."
The councilors of the Two Halls were all startled. They exchanged glances, yet not one spoke. Though the calculations indicated that it would not obstruct their attack, none of them dared draw a rash conclusion.
After all, this was already close to the one-year rotation period. Every decision had to be made with the utmost caution. If anything went wrong and caused this attack to fail, they might well be implicated afterward.
At this moment, they somewhat admired Councilor Qiu. This man truly dared to speak. It might seem fine now, but should the situation turn unfavorable, he would certainly be dragged out to bear the blame.
As one who performed calculations, how could Councilor Qiu not understand such matters? Yet he remained utterly unafraid. The moment he had stepped forward of his own accord, he had already decided to gamble everything.
In his view, if events unfolded as his calculations predicted and the heavenly workings underwent a great change afterward, he would still have a sliver of opportunity. Otherwise, if he continued along Origin Xia's path, he would never have any hope of glimpsing the higher Dao.
