On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen watched countless eyes in the hall focus on him, and without keeping them in suspense, said directly:

"Finally, let's comment on two oddities on the list who obtained the Heavenly Book."

"Second place on the Oddity Ranking, Left Sima Yi."

"Left Sima Yi, courtesy name Zhongda, comes from an official family, is knowledgeable, adheres to Confucianism, and often has a heart of worrying about the world."

"He is also gifted, intelligent and quick-witted since he was young, has many strange plans and strange wisdom, is experienced and deep, has the appearance of a tomb tiger, and can settle the world with his writing and determine the universe with his martial arts."

"After Zhang Jiao died, the 'Taiping Essentials' were scattered throughout the world; the upper volume of the Heavenly Book was obtained by him."

"This volume of the Heavenly Book contains the mysteries of the universe and records various heavenly secret arts, each of which is extremely obscure."

"Left Sima Yi studied it for several years and only mastered a few secret arts of observing the secrets of heaven, which can predict good and bad luck and all things in the future."

"But just these few mysterious arts have already made him step into the realm of ghosts and gods, powerful and unfathomable."

"This person is also the only existence among all the oddities of the Great Han who can barely compete with the head of the Oddity Ranking."

"Because Left Sima Yi early on perceived that the Great Han's fortune was coming to an end, and the time for the Sima family's rise had not yet come, he had always lived in seclusion, sitting and watching the rise and fall of the world's situation."

"First place on the Oddity Ranking, Zhuge Liang."

"Zhuge Liang, courtesy name Kongming, comes from a family of officials in Langya Commandery; he was talented as a youth and knew the world while sitting in a thatched cottage."

"He and the previously commented fifth-ranked oddity, Pang Tong, were apprenticed to the same master, Sima Hui, and were deeply appreciated by him, hailed as the Crouching Dragon of this era."

"And Zhuge Liang is not a talent of one corner, but a true all-rounder; he is proficient in astronomy, geography, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

"Even agriculture, water conservancy, economic strategy, battlefield strange plans, etc., there is nothing he doesn't know and nothing he isn't proficient in, and he can be called a peerless talent of the country."

"Those who get Zhuge Liang can settle internal affairs, pacify the rear, and lead the army, and there is nothing he cannot conquer."

"Even if the lord dies, he can be entrusted with great things without worrying about loyalty."

"Counting through the ages, it is difficult to find a second person like Zhuge Liang, a perfect minister."

"After Zhang Jiao died, the 'Taiping Essentials' were scattered throughout the world; the lower volume of the Heavenly Book was obtained by him."

"Zhuge Liang had extremely high talent and soon mastered the secret arts recorded in the lower volume of the Heavenly Book, such as the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, and Qi Men Dun Jia."

"Not only can he call the wind and rain to change the weather, but he can also draw arrays in the void, which a million-strong army cannot break."

"Even the most mysterious and powerful supernatural powers in the lower volume of the Heavenly Book, such as seizing the fortune of heaven and defying the heavens to change fate, he has also comprehended and achieved small success."

"Relying on all this, Zhuge Liang has transcended the realm of mortals, and his intelligence is close to that of a demon."

"But Zhuge Liang is self-respecting and has strict requirements for the lord he wants to assist; the princes famous in the world today do not suit his heart."

"Therefore, after completing his studies, Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion, farming in Nanyang, watching the world while waiting for the wise lord he expected to emerge."

As Su Chen's voice fell, the hall was completely exploded!

The recipients of the two Heavenly Books were finally exposed, and they were indeed powerful to the extreme.

The second-ranked Left Sima Yi mastered the secret art of observing the secrets of heaven, which can predict good and bad luck and all things in the future.

Even the Moon God, the National Master of Great Qin, is nothing more than this.

As for Zhuge Liang, who ranked first, he was even more terrifying.

Not only can he change the weather at will, call the wind and rain, but he can also draw arrays in the void to block a million-strong army.

Even the most concerned methods of seizing the fortune of heaven and defying the heavens to change fate, Zhuge Liang has also cultivated to the level of small success.

Everyone knows the horror of these supernatural powers.

Back then, Zhang Jiao only had a preliminary understanding, and he directly cut off fifty years of fortune from the Great Han Imperial Dynasty.

And Zhuge Liang's attainments in this path are definitely above Zhang Jiao's; who would dare to offend him?

Even without this lower volume of the Heavenly Book, Zhuge Liang's talent still moves everyone.

He is an existence that can rank among the famous ministers through the ages, and he has obtained the highest evaluation of ministers through the ages—peerless talent of the country!

This is not an evaluation given by some monarch or historian, but an evaluation given by Su Chen; no one dares to question it.

And hearing Su Chen's commentary on Zhuge Liang, everyone felt it was very dreamy.

As Su Chen said, this Zhuge Liang is simply a perfect minister, who can lead the army on horseback and pacify the people off horseback.

He alone can handle major military and political affairs.

The most critical thing is that this person also has absolute loyalty and can be used as a minister to entrust orphans to.

This point greatly raises Zhuge Liang's value.

For an emperor, nothing is more important than loyalty.

Through the ages, I don't know how many ministers entrusted with orphans have committed crimes and done all kinds of evil.

And Zhuge Liang has both the talent of a country's scholar and absolute loyalty; everyone truly cannot think of any minister who is more excellent than him.

Everyone can even imagine that once this news spreads, Zhuge Liang will surely be frantically scrambled for by the princes of the world.

For a time, everyone in the hall began to discuss it:

"What terrifying heirs of the Heavenly Book; one has entered the realm of ghosts and gods, and the other's intelligence is close to that of a demon; they are not human anymore."
