In fact, Chen Qing had already warned them that the King of Qin possessed this supernatural power, but this ability was not something that could be prevented simply by knowing about it. Apart from Chen Qing, all the Principal God in Jiangnan could only sense the location of their own duties. For example, he could only sense whether the King of Qin had arrived in Nanming Prefecture.
Unfortunately, on his way back to Nanming Prefecture from Liuzhou, he encountered the King of Qin.
"Among the Shen Family, you are the most dangerous and the most capable. After Wei Gongcheng's departure, you should be the most troublesome person." The King of Qin sat in the world of landscape paintings, leisurely sipping his tea.
"To receive such praise from the King of Qin is truly an honor," Shen Er said with a sinister smile.
In the last incident, he used the Ghost King's True Body, which severely damaged his vitality. Chen Qing has not returned, and the backlash from his body makes it difficult for him to use it a second time. If he were to use it again, he would likely become the real Ghost King.
" Mr. Shen Er, there's no need for modesty." The King of Qin sighed and put down his teacup. "Back then, I was blind and didn't recognize the value of Jiangnan. If I had known earlier that the Shen Family brothers were all so talented, perhaps things would have already turned out differently."
" The King of Qin was a man of great talent and ambition, which Shen Er admired. If he had known King of Qin Highness's aspirations earlier, perhaps he could indeed have cooperated with Lord King of Qin."
Shen Er also sighed. When they learned of the King of Qin's ambitions, the Shen Family, including himself, was actually prepared to submit. After all, such a prosperous era for the human race was unprecedented in history. The reason they didn't act at the time was not only because they didn't know beforehand, but also because of their ancestor.
At that time, the patriarch's identity had not been fully exposed, and no one in the Shen Family family was confident in dealing with him. Rashly surrendering to the King of Qin could bring him a difficult opponent. Therefore, when the world was in chaos, the Shen Family remained inactive.
After the Phantom Moon incident, the Shen Family had originally decided to surrender, but they never expected that the King of Qin would fall into the hands of the Xiao Household.
"It seems that Mr. Shen Er approves of what I did back then?" King of Qin laughed.
"Even now, I admire King of Qin's ambition back then immensely. If it weren't for the ancestor's restraint and the lack of communication, he would have already pledged allegiance to you. However, from today's perspective, it's not necessarily a bad thing that you didn't succeed back then."
"That's true." The King of Qin nodded slightly.
If we had followed the original plan and suppressed the ancient forces to prevent their revival, it might have brought a period of peace and allowed humanity to temporarily escape a world of suffering, but this would not have lasted.
In order to eliminate those foreign nobles, Pu Yunchuan launched a world-destroying strategy. Regardless of whether the spiritual energy of this world has recovered, those foreign Heavenly Demon will arrive on time. At that time, this world will have no spiritual energy and the ancient times will not be able to recover, so there will probably not even be the slightest chance to resist.
"But it's truly cruel. To obtain spiritual energy, one must cause widespread suffering; to preserve this world, one must sacrifice enough people. Isn't that disgusting?"
Shen Er frowned upon hearing this. What was the other person trying to say?
"You probably already know how this world came to be; Chen Qing was among those who created it!"
"If anyone from the King of Qin of Qin wants to persuade me to rebel, they should save their breath."
"Why?" The King of Qin looked at the other man and smiled gently, "Didn't Mr. Shen just say that he almost surrendered to me back then?"
"Back then, there was no Chen Qing," Shen Er said, looking up. "He was not born to be an emperor, yet he managed to get to where he is today. Many of his actions seemed overly naive, but they all happened to succeed."
"So you think he can stay this lucky forever?"
"Not necessarily. But the process is very important." Shen Er smiled. "If his naive idea really succeeds, then the world can eventually become the way he envisions, and I'd like to see that. If it fails, there's nothing to regret. After all, what I'm doing now is much more interesting than assisting a king like the Xiao Household."
"Just because it's interesting, you don't care about the Shen Family's life or death?"
"It seems Your Highness still doesn't quite understand my Shen Family." King of Qin Shen Er shook his head. "My Shen Family doesn't value inheritance like other aristocratic families. Haven't you noticed that, including myself, none of the Shen Family descendants of our generation have any offspring?"
King of Qin: "."
"Besides, what makes you think Chen Qing will lose? At least based on his current performance, Chen Qing's chances of winning the world in the future are at least higher than yours, aren't they?"
"You think so?" The King of Qin laughed. "His current foundation will soon no longer be his."
"You've been running around all this time, yet you have no foundation of your own. All you've been thinking about is seizing power from Chen Qing. How can I possibly trust you?"
"What else can we do but seize it?" King of Qin sneered. "Back then, I displayed the strongest abilities, but Heaven and Earth chose the Xiao Household. Luck wasn't on my side, intelligence wasn't on my side, so of course I had no advantage. Are we just going to give up like this?"
Shen Er nodded. The King of Qin was indeed born at the wrong time. His opponents were either outsiders who possessed intelligence and massive resources, or the Xiao Household emperor who was chosen by the will of heaven and earth. If it were a fair competition, the King of Qin's current resources would be far more than what he had.
"Your statement only applies to others, not to Chen Qing. Chen Qing's information is the same as yours, but he started from scratch. You've heard that His Highness Prince King of Qin also inherited the memories of an outsider, so he should also know about the Divine Path Style. Why didn't he use it back then?"
King of Qin: "."
The Divine Path Style, the Way of the Kingly Dao, is the most difficult to begin with, and it involves overthrowing the interests of all the powerful families in the world. He had thought about it before, but ultimately gave up.
I didn't expect Chen Qing to dare to use this method so readily, and the key point is that it actually worked.
"I'm very curious, how did you know my whereabouts? Is there a mole among us? But there are only a few people who know my whereabouts, and they are all people I trust."
"Guess?" the King of Qin asked with a smile.
"Then I'll dare to guess." Shen Er put down his teacup, his gaze turning somewhat cold as he looked at the other man. "Back then, you were one with Master Chen Qing, which could be considered a coincidence. When Master established the Divine Path Style Sect, you were still within his body and hadn't yet separated. So, if I'm not mistaken, you also possess a portion of the power of a Divine Lord, don't you?"
"Hahahaha!" King of Qin burst into laughter. " Shen Er Shen Er, you are truly clever. I knew you were the most dangerous among the Shen Family. Many people wouldn't even think of it, but you were the first to notice. You are indeed a remarkable person. If it weren't for your ancestor suppressing you, your achievements would probably be no less than that of the Xiao Household brat."
"Just as I thought," Shen Er sighed. Perhaps even Lord Chen Qing hadn't anticipated that the King of Qin would have this trump card. He possessed some of the abilities of Principal God, at least knowing the location of all the Principal God. Coupled with his special forbidden ability, it seemed that no one could escape his schemes.
If you don't return soon, my lord, Jiangnan may truly change hands!
