Chapter 79: A Seed

"Just this?" Ye Cang raised an eyebrow, interrupting Di Leina.

"If it's about this, I don't care."

After speaking, Ye Cang turned and left.

Right now, he really didn't want to say anything more to Di Leina; he truly had many things waiting for him on his side.

For example, the maintenance of the Large Particle Collider that had been put into use ahead of schedule, and the completion progress of the Four Symbols Firmament.

And most importantly, the corpse of Xuantianji.

The value of that thing was just too great.

Oh right, oh right, and the Strong Engine God-Slaying Weapon in Xuantianji's hands; that thing was also of no small value.

Seeing the Strong Engine God-Slaying Weapon, Ye Cang thought of another good thing.

Power Weapon.

If it were the past him, he would definitely have asked the system for it, but now it was better to rely on his own ability to research and develop it.

Relying on external forces would never last long; only being strong oneself was truly eternal.

But just as Ye Cang took a step, Di Leina reached out and grabbed Ye Cang's arm.

"Don't go, Ye Cang!" When Di Leina said this, her tone carried a hint of coquettishness. "Why are you in such a rush!"

"Could it be you're in a rush to go back for a blind date?"

While saying this, Di Leina revealed a cunning smile.

Ye Cang:...

I'm afraid this blind date business will become my greatest dark history!

But before Ye Cang could speak, Di Leina said again: "In my opinion, there isn't a girl on Earth currently excellent enough to be worthy of you."

"What's more, your personality has become cold and icy; that makes you even less liked by girls."

Ye Cang had wanted to tell Di Leina that she didn't need to worry about this.

But Di Leina's mouth was like a machine gun; it never stopped, and she didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

"Hey, Ye Cang, how about this: this Goddess will be your girlfriend! What do you say!" Having said this, Di Leina's words were astonishing.

"Look, you're cold and icy now, and I am the Sun of Light; the temperature in my heart reaches tens of millions of degrees. Melting your iceberg is absolutely enough!"

After speaking, Di Leina finally shut her mouth, looking at Ye Cang with a mischievous grin.

However, Ye Cang only said a few sentences, directly causing Di Leina's defenses to crumble.

"Nice thought, but is your marriage something you can decide for yourself?"

"Pan Zhen definitely wouldn't agree. Honestly, this Main God title of yours exists in name only; what difference is there between you and a puppet?"

"Even a mere Xuantianji doesn't listen to you; it's hard to imagine what kind of attitude others have toward you."

After these three sentences, the mischievous grin on Di Leina's face vanished, replaced by anger.

"Ye Cang, what do you mean!" Di Leina questioned, "I don't know where you learned about the Leiyang region, but Pan Zhen would absolutely never rebel against me!"

"He was entrusted by my grandfather to assist me. If it weren't for him, who knows what kind of chaos the Leiyang region would be in. Besides, I'm only 23 years old; at this age, I can't be a qualified Main God at all!"

"So stop trying to sow discord there."

After hearing this, Ye Cang only shook his head.

"I didn't say Pan Zhen would rebel against you, and I also know Pan Zhen is loyal to your grandfather. Listen carefully, I was talking about the people under Pan Zhen."

"You can look at the history of Huaxia." Having said this, Ye Cang paused and recalled history.

"Hmm, let's look at the history of the Song Dynasty. There is a line from Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin that says: 'My soldiers, you have harmed me! This Yellow Robe being forced upon me is to trap me in a place of disloyalty, unkindness, and injustice!'"

Fearing that Di Leina wouldn't understand the meaning of the Yellow Robe, Ye Cang explained it considerately.

"The so-called Yellow Robe is the Dragon Robe; only an emperor can wear it."

After speaking, Ye Cang stopped talking, waiting for Di Leina's response.

Of course, these words of Ye Cang's were purely alarmist, meant to scare Di Leina.

Even if the sky fell, Pan Zhen would not rebel against Di Leina; one must know that the consciousness of Di Leina's grandfather, Di Hongkun, was in the Tiandao Tower.

Furthermore, Pan Zhen had lived for so many years; how could he not know how to lead troops?

Forced to rebel by his subordinates?

Impossible!

Unless, the man has feelings and the woman has intentions.

The metaphor isn't quite appropriate, but that's the meaning.

Di Leina's face turned incomparably pale bit by bit after hearing Ye Cang's words.

Although she didn't know who Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was.

She understood Ye Cang's meaning.

Pan Zhen wouldn't rebel, but if his subordinates forced him to, then... then what should she do?

Perish together?

No, I'm afraid I'd be captured alive before I even activated my Solar Flare; Pan Zhen knows me too well.

"I... I..."

The more Di Leina thought, the more afraid she became. She looked up at Ye Cang with a bewildered expression.

"Ye Cang, you... you... you know a lot, tell me, what should I do?" Di Leina muttered to herself.

"If that day really comes, what am I supposed to do!"

Looking at Di Leina's bewildered appearance, a flash of brilliance crossed Ye Cang's eyes; it was exactly as he had imagined.

As the old saying goes, the bystander sees clearly, while the person involved is confused.

Although Di Leina wouldn't encounter the situation he described, her current predicament was too similar, and on top of that, she was protected too well by Pan Zhen; there were some things she simply didn't understand.

Therefore, she would automatically project herself into the story...

"Leina, don't you know what to do yourself?" This was the first time Ye Cang called Di Leina by the name Leina.

"You know all too well what you need to do; you must learn to be a qualified Main God."

"With a pen, one can move the world; on horseback, one can settle the universe!"

"It is just that simple, Leina."

"No, I can't do it!" Di Leina denied Ye Cang's words without hesitation.

"I am only 23 years old. Pan Zhen said I am too young to be a qualified Main God; it will take at least a thousand years!"

"But, I don't have that much time left... I..."

When Di Leina said this, she could no longer speak.

Ye Cang took a deep breath, struggled to squeeze out a seemingly gentle smile, and then reached out to gently cup Di Leina's face.

This was the first time Ye Cang had taken the initiative to touch a girl.

"Leina, do not belittle yourself so much," Ye Cang said softly. "Is everything Pan Zhen says absolutely correct?"

"Do not look at the Angel, do not look at the Demon, and do not look at the Lieyang."

"You only need to look at Huaxia on Earth; look at the history of Huaxia."

"The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, ascended the throne at thirteen. After he took the throne, it was not smooth sailing; he faced Lv Buwei, whose power dominated the court, and later, the betrayal by his own mother, Zhao Ji."

"But even so, the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, was still able to sweep across the six states and unify the world, laying the most solid foundation for the future of Huaxia."

"When he unified the world, he was only 39 years old."

"39 years old—in your Lieyang, isn't that just the age of a child?"
