The weather was fine and sunny; it was another peaceful and beautiful day.
This is how it is for the palace guards.
As government employees with official positions and government jobs, and as a small part of the palace's facade, their work is quite easy (a few fools might dare to mess with the palace, but their petty squabbles can be easily dealt with). They also enjoy good benefits.
"It seems His Highness has been coming to the palace more often lately." A guard resting in the shade looked on with admiration as he frequently glanced at a grand hall in the distance.
Another guard continued, "I heard about some kind of development in the west and south, from my nephew from my hometown. Many buildings have been built directly around the mining area, and it has even formed a town. Many people from my hometown have found very good jobs there. Perhaps because of this, there has suddenly been a lot more business in the palace."
"Yes, yes," an older guard said. "It seems that the Empire has improved a lot since His Highness took over the reins. "
"It's time to change shifts, time to change shifts" a squad leader said. "His Highness is working hard on state affairs, striving for a better tomorrow for the Empire, and we must also stand firm at our posts."
The Evil Soul Master was wiped out, and perhaps some remnants remain, but they can no longer cause any trouble within the Sun Moon Empire.
The sudden and explosive growth of the mining industry directly led to the creation of a large number of jobs and even the establishment of cities, greatly promoting economic liquidity. Coupled with the strong intervention of the Empire government, the entire market economy developed healthily. Ordinary people may not understand the complexities, but they can clearly feel that the expenses required to maintain their daily lives have suddenly decreased, and their monthly wages have increased slightly. Seeing that life is becoming more and more hopeful is excellent news for them.
Certainly.
The current economic prosperity of the Sun Moon Empire is supported by a variety of factors, including the Empire's policies, the large sums of money and medicinal herbs offered as rewards, and the development and demand for mineral veins.
Perhaps this balance will be broken in the future.
But as long as there is sufficient support, whether it is increased investment or the introduction of new external forces, this prosperous era can continue.
The side hall where Xu Tianzhen usually handled government affairs.
The sound of pages turning filled the air.
Occasionally, some discordant voices were mixed in.
An Zhen lay lazily on the recliner.
Compared to doing things personally.
An Zhen prefers to be a hands-off manager.
An Zhen has very good reasons for this.
Don't compete with your subordinates for jobs.
He does less work.
This would create an extra job opportunity.
Perhaps he will become the pillar of a family of three.
The brain is responsible for thinking.
Hands and feet are responsible for work and traveling.
Moreover, this is a world of extraordinary power. Unlike some emperors in his previous life who worried about being sidelined by their officials, he could end their lives at any time if he wished.
A brown ponytail swayed gently under the table.
"Slurp~"
Orange works very hard.
The proper kind.
I can complete my daily study and work assignments very quickly.
This frees up other times.
Then take the shortcut to rapid promotion.
However, some people have a slight objection to this.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Xu Tianzhen protested, "Can't you guys keep it down?"
Xu Tianzhen felt that she had been affected.
She was handling government affairs.
But these two guys were right in front of her.
Can't we go somewhere else?
At least she could tell herself that out of sight, out of mind.
Xu Tianzhen puffed out his cheeks.
"Da da da"
The sound of high heels walking could be heard.
Orange stood up, her beautiful cheeks flushed an unnatural red, and a few beads of sweat trickled down her smooth, fair forehead. "Your Majesty, Orange has taken care of it for you."
Xu Tianzhen:?
The clever orange sensed a faint hint of vinegar in the air.
Orange smiled slightly, "You can accept the final result directly."
Xu Tianzhen:!
This…this…
"I would never do such a vulgar thing." The young empress's words contradicted her actions. As soon as she finished speaking, she had already walked to An Zhen's side.
'It seems a bit more pleasing to the eye now,' Xu Tianzhen thought to himself as he looked at the orange.
Orange smiled slightly.
Time passes.
The sun began to slowly set.
A beautiful day, more than half of the day has passed.
Inside the main hall.
All that remained was the rustling sound of pages turning.
The two young women, one older and one younger, devoted themselves wholeheartedly to their work.
And the faint sound of breathing.
It presents a picture of tranquility and peace.
"Hmm~"
A strange sound suddenly rang out.
Xu Tianzhen raised her head and looked at An Zhen, who was stretching. "Didn't you just go to sleep? Are you up to something again?"
"Okay." An Zhen replied, her voice tinged with excitement.
His body's instincts woke him from his sleep.
The seeds that were planted have now blossomed and borne fruit.
Snow Empress's head, Spirit Bone, has been fully assimilated.
New authority has been unlocked.
"What?" Xu Tianzhen asked, puzzled.
Orange had already stood up, bent over, and took a bottle of chilled juice from the soul-guided refrigerator next to her. She placed it on the table next to An Zhen, and her pair of beautiful legs in black stockings and high heels went around to An Zhen's back. Her slender hands massaged An Zhen's shoulders.
After spending this time together, Ju Zi had carefully memorized An Zhen's daily habits. Although he could do these things himself, wasn't taking the initiative a way to increase his favorability? Taking the initiative was the only way to create more possibilities.
An Zhen snuggled her head back against the soft surface, took the juice, sipped the straw, and gave a brief explanation, "Some things related to cultivation; I just made a breakthrough."
As she spoke, An Zhen, enjoying the orange massage, closed her eyes and immersed herself completely in the Virtual World.
An Zhen was curious and excited about each newly unlocked authority.
Each one was of great significance to him.
Even some things that are incomprehensible, such as "fate".
This also gives a glimpse into its terrifying potential.
Things related to fate are never ordinary.
Even from a very short-term perspective.
The newly unlocked authority could very well cause his combat power to suddenly surge by a large margin.
Virtual World.
An Zhen was aware of himself.
"The new authority is..."
An Zhen opened his eyes with some confusion, "Omniscient?"
Is it the omniscient one he envisioned as omnipotent?
An Zhen is sensing more information.
The next second.
An Zhen suddenly appeared in Hyotei's bedroom.
Hyotei, holding a comic book in one hand and a snack in the other, noticed An Zhen's appearance. He glanced at her, then continued eating his snacks and reading his comic book, his white-stockinged little feet swaying gently in the air.
An Zhen looked at Hyotei.
Every thought, every movement.
The exercise of power.
Transform it into a way that he can easily understand.
A blue screen appeared in An Zhen's field of vision.
Name: Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion
Age: 320,000 years
Race: Ice Jade Scorpion
Measurements:...
...
Dense text appeared.
It provides a detailed overview of Hyotei.
From name to cultivation level.
From appearance to personality.
Anything An Zhen wants to know.
It will be displayed in the next second.
Even memories of Hyotei's past.
Of course, this is not because this omniscient being is truly omniscient as the legend suggests. It is not powerful enough to be truly omniscient.
It can be simply understood as a large computer.
The information and materials that An Zhen learned constitute part of the source material.
In addition, Virtual World provides an analysis of this matter.
Finally, I got the result I wanted to know.
The analysis of the Virtual World falls into two categories. First, everything in the world leaves traces in the universe; these are proof of their existence and clues they leave behind. By analyzing these traces, we can obtain partial information about that thing. These traces include many things, from ordinary ones like footprints to more profound ones, extracting useful information from fragments of time.
Ordinary clues are fine.
As for the latter...
It extracts information from the World.
It can be within the Virtual World or outside of it.
Extracting it from within the Virtual World is very simple.
Outside the Virtual World.
For example, the things within the Douluo Plane.
Similar to a network intrusion.
Virtual World hacked into Douluo Plane's database.
I obtained the information I wanted from it.
Different things have different levels of secrecy. Inquiring about ordinary things won't cause any trouble, but if you try to pry into deeper or more complex aspects of a dimension, it might trigger a subconscious backlash from the dimension's consciousness, since that would be quite audacious. To put it in common sense, something with a low level of secrecy is at most like glancing at someone, but trying to see something with a high level of secrecy is like trying to undress someone to see what color their underwear is.
Secondly,
That's a bit domineering.
It needs to be paired with another authority.
An Zhen's figure disappeared and then appeared in the "stomach" of the Virtual World.
A translucent crystal, as blue as seawater, appeared in his hand.
It was the Youhai mineral stone that had been stockpiled here before, and then replenished again.
"Omniscient".
A screen unfolds.
Name: Youhai mineral stone
Origin: Hundreds of nautical miles off the northern coast of Sun Moon Empire, near Northwind Harbor
effect:...
These results were obtained through analysis of information An Zhen possessed and information gleaned from the fact that this batch of energy ore was devoured by the Virtual World.
The sixth is Spirit Ability, assimilation.
A milky-white power enveloped the ore, assimilating it into An Zhen's spirit power.
The next second.
New information is being revealed.
Properties of the ore.
In what form does the energy inside exist?
And so on, a series of information inherent in the ore itself.
Why did so much information about Hyotei manifest before, even about memories of the past?
This is the analysis of the World. Assimilation plays a part in this process.
Assimilation takes different forms.
It can be completely transformed into the shape of An Zhen.
It could also be one that's labeled "An Zhen".
Hyotei's situation leans more towards the latter.
The authority to assimilate was unlocked later, but the Virtual World itself possessed this authority; it was only after acquiring the Spirit Ring that An Zhen was able to control it more easily. Hyotei's consciousness had resided in the Virtual World for so long, and because it wasn't a particularly powerful being and couldn't resist the Virtual World's power, many things had already been analyzed by the Virtual World.
"Powerful!" An Zhen exclaimed, his voice filled with surprise and excitement.
Although this omniscience is incomplete.
But An Zhen was already very satisfied.
Furthermore, the power of authority will become even stronger as the Virtual World progresses.
It's like having an encyclopedia.
For example, if he wants to know how to create a level 10 spirit tool.
Where feasible, the assimilation authority invades the Level 10 spirit tool, and the Virtual World retrieves and analyzes the timeline of the Level 10 Soul Master creating the Level 10 spirit tool.
Whether it's the so-called time, space, or destiny, they are all child's play in the face of omniscience and omnipotence. Such authority has long transcended the laws themselves, becoming the strongest concept. No matter how powerful an existence is, it cannot defeat omniscience and omnipotence.
The truth of the world has been laid out before An Zhen!
"Speaking of which, could this also be combined with the power of destiny to spy on the fate of others, thereby achieving a kind of future vision ability?"
An Zhen expressed his doubts.
The Omniscient Authority is running.
Omniscient analysis of destiny.
Analyze the Virtual World.
Provide the answer.
[Can]
[Requires overload operation]
[Since we cannot foresee the true nature of fate, we can only offer the most probable outcome.]
"Oh~"
Omniscient Authority analyzes the Virtual World.
Virtual World resolves itself.
You can play it like this?
Originally, An Zhen could only figure out how to use a computer on his own.
Now there's an AI-powered computer manager.
It's a bit strange. Because this computer is itself, and this AI is essentially a part of it. It's like the left brain posing a question, and the right brain providing the answer.
Is this considered his own achievement?
Oh no, my neck is itchy, I feel like it's growing.
An Zhen stopped thinking about this question.
The idea of the left and right hemispheres fighting each other is completely meaningless.
Anyway, they're all part of him.
An Zhen's consciousness returned to reality.
His dark eyes fell on Xu Tianzhen.
Information about Little Tianzhen.
The Omniscient Authority is in operation.
A fragment of time that invades the Douluo Plane.
Retrieval of An Zhen's memories.
It displays the information that An Zhen wants to know.
[Comprehensive analysis reveals that Xu Tianzhen's feelings for An Zhen stem from a young girl's attachment to her, a strong sense of security, and the possibility of entrusting her life to a lover.]
This is the result obtained by combining certain data.
If you want more details...
Either use destiny to observe the intertwining of Xu Tianzhen and An Zhen's fates, or assimilate them and retrieve their memories.
An Zhen's gaze fell on the table beside him.
This is a very valuable piece of wooden furniture, with a total value of xxx. It was made 14 years and 9 months ago, crafted from thousand-year-old rosewood, and designed by Xiao Yi, a top designer from the Sun Moon Empire. It underwent twenty-four processes (see details). In the past, it was almost set on fire by an angry Xu Tianzhen …
A small hand waved in front of An Zhen.
"What are you looking at?" Xu Tianzhen asked curiously.
An Zhen looked at Xu Tianzhen, and a message flashed before his eyes: "Your Majesty, there's no need to pretend to be mature."
Xu Tianzhen:?
An Zhen continued, "The cotton fabric for the orange is embroidered with cute oranges, but the lace style isn't really suitable for you."
Omniscient Authority is really useful.
Orange's little face turned red.
After realizing what An Zhen had said, Xu Tianzhen's face flushed red, like a big red apple, and her fair fingers trembled as she pointed at An Zhen, "Pervert! Big pervert!"
I'll hit you!
The girl's small fists pounded on An Zhen's chest.
Words like "pervert" and "pervert" were repeatedly heard.
A girl's shy voice echoed from inside the room.
