Chapter 80: Scheming

When Di Leina heard Ye Cang's account, her eyes brightened quite a bit.

"What you said, is it true?" Di Leina asked with a trembling voice. "Is the First Emperor really that formidable?"

"Under those circumstances, could he really unify the world?"

"And it only took him 26 years? You aren't lying to me?"

Di Leina's words were filled with disbelief.

"Why would I lie to you?" Ye Cang said. "It's clear you haven't been studying properly since you arrived on Earth."

"Otherwise, how could you not even know of the First Emperor? He is the greatest emperor in Huaxia's history! No descendant could ever compare to him, except for that one..."

"That one?" Di Leina repeated. "Who is that one?"

Ye Cang did not answer Di Leina directly.

"That one, the history of that one is something you need to see for yourself. Only by seeing it in person can you understand just how shocking it is."

"There is a saying used to describe that one: Turning back the tide when it has already collapsed, propping up a great mansion when it is about to fall!!"

Ye Cang's words made Di Leina increasingly curious.

Who exactly was that one?

Turning back the tide when it has already collapsed, propping up a great mansion when it is about to fall!

What exactly did that one do to earn such an evaluation?

It is truly unimaginable!

Later on, she must definitely go and properly brush up on Huaxia's history!

The First Emperor Ying Zheng, and that mysterious one.

She wondered if there were any other people as formidable as those two.

Di Leina was the type of person who could never hide anything in her heart.

Ye Cang understood what she was thinking at a glance.

"Aside from those two, there are many such people in Huaxia's history."

"Let me tell you about someone who wasn't an emperor, but was a god of war: Huo Qubing!"

"At 18, he was appointed as a Piaoji Xiaowei and went on an expedition with his uncle. Huo Qubing led 800 men deep into the battlefield, beheading 2,500 people, including the relatives of the enemy king."

"Upon returning, he was titled Marquis of Champion. Later, he had many dazzling military achievements, but the most dazzling was when he was 21, leading 50,000 men to slaughter their way to the enemy's home base! He was honored with the 'conquering the northern wilderness and making offerings at Mount Langjuxu' ceremony; this is the ultimate dream of countless military generals in later generations!"

"This is like one of your Lieyang soldiers starting a rebellion and fighting all the way into the imperial palace."

Hearing this, the confusion in Di Leina's eyes vanished, replaced by a firm radiance.

"I understand, Ye Cang." Di Leina said, clenching her fists. "I know what I have to do! Thank you!"

Before Ye Cang could say anything, Di Leina suddenly opened her arms and hugged him.

"Thank you, really."

After saying this, Di Leina let go of Ye Cang and turned to leave.

Watching Di Leina about to leave, Ye Cang thought for a moment and decided to add more fuel to the fire.

"By the way, Leina, I still have one more thing to tell you."

"What?" Di Leina looked at Ye Cang in confusion.

Ye Cang said slowly: "Even without Pan Zhen, you, Leina, are still a Kulei Main God."

"And sometimes, using external forces is not a shameful thing. Whether it is a Main God or an emperor, the essence is the same. Those who achieve great things do not fuss over trifles!"

"What do you mean by that?" Di Leina did not quite understand.

If there were no Pan Zhen, how could she still be a Kulei Main God?

And what was that about external forces?

But Ye Cang did not give Di Leina a chance to ask, turning and leaving without hesitation.

Seeing this, Di Leina wanted to chase after him, but thought better of it.

It was too embarrassing; it was fine to talk about it, but actual action was another matter.

However, she still asked Ye Cang loudly.

"Ye Cang, what do you mean by that?"

Ye Cang said without looking back: "Let me be a riddle-maker for once; you will understand these things when the time comes!"

Having said that, he stepped onto the Tianhe Transport Plane.

The moment the cabin door of the Tianhe Transport Plane closed, the smile on Ye Cang's face vanished instantly, and he returned to his usual expressionless state.

As soon as he entered the cabin, the old man began to tease him.

"I say, Xiao Cang, why did you send Qi Lin and Rui Mengmeng away? So you already have someone in your heart!"

"If you like Leina, why not just say so? You had to keep it a secret."

"If it weren't for the fact that this old man still has decent eyesight and saw you and Di Leina whispering behind the fighter jet, and even hugging, I might have been kept in the dark!"

As he spoke, the old man's gaze toward Ye Cang became increasingly kind.

"However, Xiao Cang, I must tell you first: if you are with Di Leina, this old man won't be able to help you with anything."

"She is the Lieyang Main God; if you suffer any grievances, you'll just have to endure them."

After listening to the old man, Ye Cang smiled and replied: "You are truly joking, sir."

"I said, before I can bear the title of 'conquering the northern wilderness and making offerings at Mount Langjuxu', I will never have a girlfriend or get married."

"As for Di Leina and me, there is nothing between us."

"Oh? Is that so!" The old man raised his eyebrows. "Then who was it just now that cupped Di Leina's face and was then hugged by her?"

"Wasn't that you?"

Ye Cang did not deny the point the old man made.

"It was me, but that was just an accident."

"I don't believe it!" The old man shook his head.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you," Ye Cang said with a hint of helplessness, "You only need to know that I will not be held back by matters of the heart."

"The reason I did that is because I am plotting against Lieyang."

The single sentence about plotting against Lieyang left the old man speechless.

After a long silence, the old man took the initiative to speak.

"Safety is the most important thing."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Little Cang, tell me about your future plans!" The old man proactively started a new topic.

Ye Cang had no intention of hiding anything from the old man.

"The future? As I said, dismantling the Taotie Main Battleship and then building a Stellar-class Warship that belongs to Huaxia—it's that simple."

"There is also cultivating more Super Soldiers, as well as rebuilding Tianhe City."

"As for the robots for rebuilding Tianhe City, you can come and take them in a week."

"Mm, I understand," the old man replied, "I'll say it again: I will assign personnel to you. Do you need to change to a new site or anything?"

"For a Stellar-class Warship, I'm afraid that Underground Base won't be enough, right?"

"There's no rush for that; let's dismantle the Taotie Main Battleship first," Ye Cang said.

The old man nodded after hearing this.

Just like that, the two of them chatted about all sorts of things, one sentence after another.

Soon, the Tianhe Transport Plane arrived above Ye Cang's office.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Ye Cang performed a high-altitude skydive without a parachute.

He leaped out from the cabin.

He headed straight toward the ground from a thousand meters in the air.

The speed was so fast that in just over 30 seconds, the ground was already within reach.

But just at this moment, Ye Cang stopped abruptly in mid-air, then landed lightly on the ground.

After returning to the ground, Ye Cang headed straight for his laboratory.

He still remembered that the battle armor of one Super Soldier had been struck until it developed cracks.
