Chapter 351: The Great Migration

~7 min read 1,309 words

Ye Cang did not answer, but instead asked Di Leina a question in return.

"As for what you are referring to, I have known for a long time."

"The matter of my grandfather still being alive in the Tiandao Tower."

"Then why would you think I have known about this for a long time?"

Di Leina bit her lip slightly.

"At that time, you said I was a Kulei Main God, and you said it more than once; if Pan Zhen really were holding the sovereign hostage to command the vassals, you would not have said that."

"You would only have said that my status as a Main God was about to be lost, or something else."

"So I was wondering if you might have known all along that my grandfather was still alive."

Facing Di Leina's words, Ye Cang did not give a direct answer.

"You've become smarter."

"But what meaning could saying these things have now? The overall situation is already settled."

"Main God of Lieyang, get up. I said there are more important things waiting for you to do, and the people of Lieyang are also waiting for you."

This time, Di Leina stood up.

But she still did not move; she looked down at Ye Cang from her height.

After a long silence, she finally spoke.

"There is no meaning in saying these things now, but you lied to me, Ye Cang." When she said this, Di Leina's tone was extremely calm.

Ye Cang shook his head.

"I did not lie to you; you have seen the situation in Lieyang yourself."

"The Old King refuses to grant power to the New King; do you think that if things continue like this, this country can remain peaceful in the long run?"

"Then how do you account for yourself?" Di Leina asked in return. "New King."

How could Ye Cang not understand what Di Leina meant?

She was using the very words he had just spoken to mock him.

He was now the chief engineer, and almost all major matters were decided by him; since that was the case, then...

"Me?" Ye Cang pointed at himself.

"Unfortunately, our situations are different."

"Whether it is the New King or the Old King, we have always been in one direction, of one mind, constantly moving forward on the correct path."

"And Lieyang... do I even need to say more?"

"Sigh..." Di Leina let out a sigh. "Really, I can't win an argument with you."

"Forget it, I can't beat you in a fight, and I can't win in an argument, and more importantly, what you say happens to be right; besides pledging loyalty to you, what else can I do?"

As she spoke, Di Leina paused.

"However, you also heard my guarantee just now; you... will help me, right?"

"To let Lieyang..."

"I will."

Before Di Leina could finish, Ye Cang interrupted her.

"You are now a part of Huaxia, so it is only natural that I will help you."

"However, now is not the time to talk about this; I will tell you one last time, there are other things to do."

Having received Ye Cang's guarantee, Di Leina immediately skipped over this topic.

"Alright, you said there are other things, what are they?"

"Are you planning to purge the civil and military officials?"

"Those civil and military officials are all Pan Zhen's people; I think we need to clean them out."

As soon as these words left her mouth, Ye Cang rolled his eyes.

This eye-roll left Di Leina completely confused.

Could it be that she said something wrong?

If the other matter wasn't purging the civil and military officials, she couldn't think of anything else.

Facing the bewildered Di Leina, Ye Cang suddenly felt a sense of mental exhaustion.

How could Di Leina be smart one moment and foolish the next?

Helpless and weary, Ye Cang stomped his feet a few times.

Of course, this was not Ye Cang venting or complaining about anything.

"Didn't you hear what Pan Zhen said just now? Lieyang can no longer hold on, so all the people of Lieyang need a new planet to continue developing."

"You need to migrate, and it's a Great Migration!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a look of sudden realization appeared on Di Leina's face.

"Oh!"

"So that's how it is; if you hadn't said it, I would have forgotten!"

"It really is necessary to migrate, but there are two problems at the moment: one is where to migrate to, and the second is that those old fogies in the court will definitely not agree to migrate."

"If I talk about migrating, they will say it destroys Lieyang's traditions, and they will definitely go against me."

As she spoke, Di Leina lowered her head pitifully and fiddled with her fingers, looking very aggrieved.

Ye Cang:...

Kaisha:...

The two of them walked outside with a tacit understanding, neither of them paying any attention to Di Leina.

If Pan Zhen were still here, it would have been no problem for Di Leina to say such things.

But now, Pan Zhen has risen.

Di Leina holds absolute power alone!

If she cannot even deal with a group of old fogies, then she might as well stop being this Main God early and quickly give up this position.

Or resurrect Pan Zhen and let Pan Zhen be this Main God.

Seeing Ye Cang and Kaisha leave in unison, Di Leina immediately panicked.

"Hey, hey, hey, why did you two just leave like that!"

"You didn't even help me think of a solution!"

After hearing Di Leina's words, Ye Cang and Kaisha's speed of departure became even faster.

"No, hey! You two are really leaving!"

"Hey!"

No matter how Di Leina shouted, the two of them did not even turn their heads.

Until the figures of the two completely disappeared from sight.

Only then did Di Leina react.

"Huh?"

"Wait, I think I've discovered a problem!"

"I am now a Main God with real power! Not the Kulei Main God from before."

"Now I am the one who calls the shots! Why should I listen to that bunch of old fogies!"

Having finally reacted, Di Leina hurriedly took off and chased in the direction Ye Cang and Kaisha had left.

In just a few minutes, she caught up.

"Hehehe, Ye Cang, wait for me," Di Leina said after catching up to Ye Cang.

But Ye Cang ignored Di Leina.

He was afraid that her problem of not having enough brainpower would be contagious.

He had worked hard to make his own brain sufficient, and he did not want it to become insufficient again.

Seeing that Ye Cang was not paying attention to her, Di Leina hurriedly said again: "Don't ignore me."

"I just became a Main God with real power, I didn't react in time!"

"I've reacted now!"

"You wait, when I hold court tomorrow, I will bring this matter up. If anyone dares to have any extra opinions, I will absolutely not let them off!"

"We will settle new and old scores together!"

Hearing Di Leina say this, Ye Cang finally stopped his footsteps.

"It's good that you aren't completely stupid."

"Remember, when you hold court tomorrow, do not use a tone of consultation with that bunch of old fogies. If you do that, they will definitely push their luck and point out your many faults."

"You must be swift and decisive, and make the final decision directly. What you are doing is not a bad thing; you are doing it for the continuation of Lieyang, and you have reason and evidence, so do not be afraid."

"Also, count how many citizens Lieyang has now, and how many of those Transport Ships capable of crossing star systems there are. Remember, you must count them clearly."
