Zhuo Lie's Reaction
After the computer evolved into a quantum computer, the computing power of No. 01 can be said to have made a qualitative leap.
Calculations of this magnitude require almost no waiting time.
As soon as Yi Xuan asked the question, No. 01 gave the answer within a fraction of a second.
Looking at the data displayed on the screen, Yi Xuan immediately fell into deep thought.
The situation was more difficult than I had imagined.
It was originally thought that, given the current situation, Zhuo Ning should be able to surpass the First Prince in terms of National Fortune within fifteen years.
However, the specific data provided by No. 01 indicates that Zhuo Ning would need at least thirty years to surpass the current Crown Prince.
While Yi Xuan was agonizing over how long it would take to catch up, Zhuo Ning stared at the data on the screen and kept sighing.
"I never imagined that my eldest brother would make such great contributions to the Immortal Kingdom!"
"What you didn't expect is yet!"
Yi Xuan reached out and swiped across the screen, and a new set of data appeared in front of Zhuo Ning.
"This is...?"
Looking at the data on the screen, Zhuo Ning became increasingly alarmed!
This set of data is none other than No. 01's prediction of the National Fortune that the eldest prince might receive in the next few years, based on the National Fortune he received that year.
According to No. 01's estimate, this Barbarian Clan invasion is unlikely to end as easily as imagined.
The sudden attack by barbarian Barbarian Clan, who had been inactive for thousands of years, must have had some unknown reasons.
Despite the fact that the three immortal kingdoms have managed to hold off the Barbarian Clan invasion at this time.
That's entirely due to the sheer power of the Immortal Kingdom itself.
If it were Southern Frontier, the entire region would probably have fallen in less than half a month.
No. 01 gave the most conservative estimate that the war might last ten years, or even longer.
In other words, for at least the next ten years, the eldest prince will be able to gain a massive amount of National Fortune from the process of resisting the Barbarian Clan.
Moreover, the fiercer the Barbarian Clan attacks, the greater the National Fortune he can obtain.
At that time, the National Fortune that Zhuo Ning extracts from the people in a year might not even match his!
With this in mind, Yi Xuan made a decisive move and instructed No. 01 to change their original plan.
It seems that simply improving the quality of life for ordinary farmers is no longer a viable solution.
Only by fundamentally revitalizing the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom can it possibly surpass the Crown Prince in terms of National Fortune in a short period of time.
However, this Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom is not the Southern Frontier.
Would the experts among them really just sit idly by and watch Yi Xuan and Zhuo Ning act recklessly?
This was precisely what Yi Xuan was most worried about, which was why he had previously focused his attention on farmers, whom cultivators wouldn't notice.
Soon, No. 01 presented the latest plan for obtaining the National Fortune's destiny.
Just as Yi Xuan thought, the National Fortune gained by simply improving the people's quality of life on a few material levels is simply not enough to compete with the First Prince's fortune in the short term.
Zhuo Ning needs to completely change the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.
Just like the Xia Kingdom back then.
In other words, only by promoting the development of the entire country can we maximize our chances of National Fortune.
But the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom is not the Xia Kingdom after all.
Neither Yi Xuan nor Zhuo Ning could fully unleash their potential in the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.
Without absolute power, any obstacles encountered during the process could lead to the loss of all previous efforts, and even endanger the lives of both individuals.
Strength!
Ultimately, it all comes down to strength!
If Yi Xuan possessed absolute power, advancing the development of the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom would be a piece of cake.
Of course, if his strength is truly far beyond that of others, why would Zhuo Ning be involved in the competition for the throne?
Wouldn't it be better to just take over the entire Immortal Kingdom?
Ultimately, Yi Xuan had no choice but to ask No. 01 to provide a relatively moderate solution, and he and Zhuo Ning quickly began implementing it.
I just hope the Immortal Emperor can hold on a little longer!
With the conclusion of the New Year's ancestral worship ceremony, the situation in the Immortal Dynasty underwent significant changes.
First, there were the other princes whose National Fortune was relatively low. Through the National Fortune changes triggered during the ancestral worship ceremony, they all understood that they had no hope left.
Struggling any further will be futile.
So the princes quickly made their decisions and joined the Fourth Prince's forces.
Since he couldn't become emperor, he decided to seek refuge with someone who could.
In this way, if the Fourth Prince becomes the Immortal Emperor in the future, the rest of them can at least be granted the title of Prince.
It's better than stubbornly persisting and ending up losing both your money and your life.
As for their choice of the fourth prince, that was entirely expected.
After all, there are only four Seed princes in total!
The eldest prince, the fourth prince, the twenty-seventh prince, and Zhuo Ning.
The eldest prince and the twenty-seventh prince were still fighting against the Barbarian Clan in the north.
Whether the two of them can withstand the Barbarian Clan is still unknown, and even if they were to join them now, the barbarians probably wouldn't care about them.
Therefore, their only choices were the Fourth Prince and Zhuo Ning.
Compared to the Fourth Prince, although Zhuo Ning demonstrated a greater National Fortune, his foundation was too shallow and he didn't have any capable subordinates. By all accounts, it seemed like a coincidence that he surpassed the Fourth Prince this time.
That's why they all unanimously pledged their allegiance to the Fourth Prince.
As for the two princes in the north, their reactions after learning about the National Fortune this year were quite different.
After the news arrived, the eldest prince merely nodded indifferently, as if it were nothing more than a trivial matter.
He turned his head and focused his attention on the attack and defense map in front of him, beginning to study how to defeat the Barbarian Clan.
The twenty-seventh prince, however, flew into a rage and threw the message in his hand at the messenger's face.
"Zhuo Ning? What is that? His National Fortune is actually higher than mine?"
The messenger knelt before the twenty-seventh prince, trembling and not daring to utter a sound.
The middle-aged man beside the prince waved to the messenger, signaling him to leave quickly.
He then went to the prince's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Prince Dao! Compared to Zhuo Ning, you should pay more attention to the eldest prince!"
"Big brother? Didn't he declare that he wasn't interested in the throne? What is there to worry about?"
Do you believe it?
These words left the 27th Prince Zhuo Dao, speechless.
Yes, that's the throne of the Immortal Kingdom, something he'd dream of having.
Does that guy really not feel tempted?
"Uncle Qin, what should I do?"
Somewhat anxious, Zhuo Dao quickly looked at the middle-aged man beside him with pleading eyes.
The man gave Zhuo Dao a mysterious smile.
"Who says the only way to become Immortal Emperor is through competition? Even if you win this National Fortune, you can forget about surpassing the First Prince; you should..."
As the middle-aged man whispered in his ear, Zhuo Lie's eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face!
