Chapter 729: The Revival of Great Gan, Life's Two Difficulties
Chapter 729: The Revival of Great Gan, Life's Two Difficulties
"Fortune has dissipated. It seems we have indeed succeeded."
Qin Muye checked once again. Now, the entire Great Gan no longer possessed any fortune, having completely transitioned from the imperial system to the martial path system.
This was not an instantaneous process but one that took a decade to gradually dissipate. Qin Muye also spent another ten years in this world.
After sealing the imperial system, the fortune was slowly and continuously extracted rather than being taken all at once.
"This did take quite a while, but sealing a 9th Rank is indeed sufficient." Qin Muye could sense that the world's seal had dissipated, indicating that he had completed his task.
Reviving Great Gan not only meant making it more prosperous but also resolving the imperial system. Now that this issue was resolved, the world's seal on him was lifted.
During these ten years, he did not solely focus on monitoring the fortune seal. He also worked on integrating the Endless Abyss, which was recently completed.
At this moment, he had merged with the Endless Abyss, with himself as the dominant force. From this moment on, he had his own race.
He became a world, a genuine world, and also reached a higher realm.
This was his greatest gain. Now, he no longer relied on external factors and was no longer bound by the world or its rules. However, there seemed to be a slight gap before reaching the next higher level, which required some assistance, such as time.
Space was no longer a mystery to him. The Endless Abyss continued to expand and grow, with various unique layers forming with his presence.
Therefore, he needed to study the mysterious element of time.
He knew that what he needed was both close and far. It seemed like just a technical bottleneck, but this bottleneck might hold him back for a long time. Fortunately, he was no longer as urgent as before and could gradually break through this bottleneck.
After resolving the issue with the Three Emperors, The Lord of Epochs did not drive Qin Muye out of this world. It seemed not to care about his subsequent actions.
Qin Muye briefly considered swallowing the world to create a Titan-grade structure, but this thought quickly passed. It was not worth it; his current strength was far beyond what a couple of Titan-grade structures could provide.
As a world, a thriving world, Qin Muye was constantly growing stronger. Although a qualitative change was not immediate, the sheer quantity was enough to make other 9th Ranks marvel.
He could even create a Titan-grade structure by hand without consuming a world, though it would require some time.
Therefore, he abandoned the idea of opposing The Lord of Epochs for such a minor benefit.
"It's time to leave. There's still half of a karmic debt to repay."
Back in the capital, Qin Muye looked at the current prosperity of the entire city. Huangfu Xing's efforts were undeniable, and the word "revival" was truly embodied here.
Now, he was contemplating what Huangfu Xing's reaction would be upon learning of his departure.
Huangfu Xing was no longer the young man he was when he first ascended to power. He was well-versed in both civil and military affairs. With the help of the Heavenly Sword of Gan, he had reversed his innate state and reached the Sixth Realm of the martial path, making him the first in the world.
The only one who could match him was the Imperial Astronomer, Wang Kai, but Wang Kai lacked a divine weapon, so he could not surpass him.
There were only two people at the Sixth Realm of the martial path in the world, and the remaining three of the Four Pillars of Great Gan were at the Fifth Realm. Great Gan was now stronger than ever, with all power concentrated in Huangfu Xing's hands.
Huangfu Xing ruled personally, unlike Qin Muye, who used to delegate everything.
Following the aura, he quickly arrived at the Imperial Study, where eunuchs and maidservants were attending to Huangfu Xing, who was buried in state affairs.
"Tsk, after all these years, you still haven't improved. You're still doing everything yourself," Qin Muye teased.
"What person!" A nearby eunuch reacted and was about to act.
Huangfu Xing immediately said, "Enough, leave. This is the Supreme Emperor who has been missing for over a decade."
He rubbed his temples and dismissed the waiting eunuchs and maidservants to avoid tarnishing Qin Muye's image.
Qin Muye could afford to disregard his image, but as the Emperor of Great Gan, Huangfu Xing had to maintain the dignity of the royal family.
The palace maids and eunuchs immediately withdrew at his command, all of them feeling very puzzled. They knew there was a Supreme Emperor, but he was supposed to be missing. How did he suddenly return?
"You think I'm like you, with a bunch of capable spirits under my command? Although the foundation you left me is very useful, it still falls short compared to your spirits," Huangfu Xing said.
"Oh, young people need to go through more trials. I heard you've established a crown prince? To bear the burden of a family at such a young age, how pitiful," Qin Muye sighed.
Huangfu Xing was speechless, feeling a bit unfamiliar with Qin Muye's lack of seriousness.
"Do you want to see him?" Huangfu Xing asked.
"No need. You should focus on raising him. I'm preparing to leave," Qin Muye said.
For a moment, Huangfu Xing was silent.
If it were ten years ago, he would have said without hesitation, "Where are you going? Take me with you."
But now he couldn't bring himself to say it, because he carried the responsibility of an entire empire, not just one person.
"When will you come back?" Huangfu Xing eventually didn't ask where Qin Muye was going.
"I'm not sure, but don't worry. With the resurrection and great healing techniques I left you, you'll definitely live long enough to see me return," Qin Muye said. The techniques he had left Huangfu Xing were enough to ensure his immortality.
"Tsk, that's a pretty big promise," Huangfu Xing thought, knowing it would be a long time.
"I can't help it. I have to do this, and I owe it to someone," Qin Muye sighed. After a moment, he added, "Why don't you come with me? The Endless Abyss won't mind one more family. If you want to be an emperor, I can give you a layer of the abyss even larger than the entire world to play with."
Qin Muye was beyond description; ten years meant little to him, after all, he had raised Huangfu Xing, and he still had feelings for him.
So, Huangfu Xing, who couldn't say such things, Qin Muye could say without hesitation.
But if Huangfu Xing refused, Qin Muye wouldn't force him.
"Let me think about it," Huangfu Xing neither refused nor agreed.
He wasn't like Ji Shan, who had always been by Qin Muye's side, so he had no worries or responsibilities and was carefree.
Huangfu Xing, on the other hand, still had Great Gan.
Running away after abdicating was possible, but the crown prince was only seven years old and couldn't maintain the empire.
Moreover, the crown prince had average talent and hadn't received Qin Muye's guidance, so he was only average and needed a lot of experience.
Furthermore, his son didn't have a father like Qin Muye, who left him a beginner's package that guaranteed success.
There were many things to worry about. Now, Huangfu Xing understood Qin Muye's troubles, but Qin Muye had strong power and abundant resources, which were trivial to him, while they were significant to Huangfu Xing.
"Alright, I'll give you ten days. If you decide to come, pack your things and leave," Qin Muye had no attachment to Great Gan. For him, what wasn't his, he didn't need to help.
One must know one's limits. Qin Muye had never been stingy with his own people, but he wouldn't give even a hair to benefit the world, let alone share his hard-earned resources.
"Ten days, I'll think about it," Huangfu Xing said, unsure if he could bear to leave.
As for moving the entire Great Gan, Huangfu Xing couldn't bring himself to say it. If he did, Qin Muye might even agree.
But he knew the environment of the Endless Abyss; ordinary people couldn't survive there. Even he needed Qin Muye's protection to move freely in the harsh environment of the Endless Abyss.
"Alright, take your time. I'll wander around a bit," Qin Muye didn't insist. Life was like this; it was all about giving and taking.
Even Qin Muye couldn't escape this. Having everything was great, but it required sufficient strength.
Without enough strength, many things couldn't even be chosen, and one could only be the chosen one.
"This kid's wings are really hard now," Qin Muye mumbled to himself as he left.
