The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.

Huo Qubing stood there with a frown, looking at Cai Yuan whose face was pale, not knowing what to say.

"What do you think about this matter?" Emperor Wu of Han spoke slowly.

Huo Qubing was silent for a moment, then said, "I... don't know much about astronomical predictions, so I dare not speak rashly."

Astrology is ultimately just a mysterious art, and it is difficult to determine whether it is true or false. However, if you say things like "great chaos will occur" or "all people will suffer within a day" in front of the current emperor, you may be beheaded!

It can be seen that Cai Yuan was indeed panicked after the sudden deaths of two supervisors. At this moment, his fear of the Red Star and the prophecy had completely suppressed his awe of the royal family.

"Recently, I have indeed received many reports about evil spirits causing chaos, and I have also sent a lot of manpower to provide disaster relief and exorcise evil spirits... However, our Han Dynasty has not been destroyed by foreign enemies, and there is no famine or drought. It is just a red star in the sky. How can it cause the lives of all people in the world to be destroyed in one day?"

Emperor Wu of Han had an extremely low voice.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Cai Yuan stood aside and stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Emperor Wu of Han stared at him for a long time, until cold sweat kept oozing out of Cai Yuan's forehead, and then he slowly spoke:

"Forget it...just go down."

"yes!"

Cai Yuan turned around as if he had been pardoned and was about to leave. However, his legs went limp as he took a step. Fortunately, Huo Qubing was quick to hold him up. After thanking him repeatedly, Huo Qubing hurriedly fled out of the hall.

Huo Qubing withdrew his gaze from Cai Yuan's back and turned to ask:

"Your Majesty... Lord Cai is just too scared."

"Of course I understand. I am not an unreasonable and incompetent monarch." Emperor Wu of Han waved his hand and sat down helplessly. "However, we still have to guard against the danger of the Red Star... Are the 30,000 troops still outside the city?"

“Still.”

"I will issue an order immediately. You will command the 30,000 troops and the Yulin Army in Chang'an. You must garrison all parts of Chang'an. As for the other vassal states, I have already sent letters to ask them to take strict precautions."

"yes!"

Huo Qubing turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly he seemed to have thought of something and spoke again:

"Minister, I have one more request..."

…

Chang'an, post station.

Chloe hung the hat on the wall and turned to look at Lin Qiye. Several missionaries were standing behind Lin Qiye with their eyes wide open, as if they were ready to throw the young man out of the house at any time.

"This place should be safe enough, right?" Chloe said slowly, "Who are you?"

"My name is Lin Qiye, and I come from the future more than 2,000 years later." Lin Qiye got straight to the point, "The reason why I came here should be related to you... No, to be precise, it is related to your future self."

Lin Qiye's opening words had a devastating impact on the many missionaries behind him. They widened their eyes in shock, their faces full of disbelief.

"The future more than two thousand years from now?" Chloe also frowned.

She lowered her head and wandered around the room for a long time, as if she was thinking about something.

"You...let me take another look."

"What?"

"It's yours... yours... oh, it's the place you just showed me!" Chloe's cheeks flushed and she spoke with some embarrassment.

Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows and naturally pulled down his collar, revealing the two [Covenants].

To be honest, the location of these two marks is not that private... But looking at Chloe's reaction, it was a little beyond Lin Qiye's expectations. He always thought that the legendary agent of Yelande would be the kind of person who is out of touch with the world and looks down on all living beings indifferently.

Now it seems that she has more "humanity". If you think about it carefully, since she is a messenger appointed by Yeland to preach in the world, she must be able to integrate into the world and experience the suffering and joy of the world...

Perhaps, when she has experienced enough suffering for a long enough time, she will be able to complete her mission from a perspective that gradually transcends "humanity".

Chloe blushed, stared at the two [Covenants] on Lin Qiye's chest for a long time, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, I left it behind..."

Several missionaries looked at each other with shock in their eyes… After all, they were just ordinary people. Although they had seen the Saint’s abilities, to be able to extend directly to the future two thousand years later was still completely beyond their cognition.

"Can you tell the functions of these three [Covenants]?" Lin Qiye asked the question he was most looking forward to.

“No.” Chloe shook her head. “These marks are proof of the [Covenant], but they do not contain the power to fulfill the Covenant… The thing that truly triggers the Covenant should be in my future self.”

"What's the meaning?"

"It's like... um... I borrowed ten taels of silver from you today, and agreed to return it to you at noon tomorrow. I wrote you an IOU, but before noon tomorrow, you don't actually have ten taels of silver, only an IOU, and the real silver is still with me.

Only when the agreed time comes, my money will be paid to you, and the IOU will be torn up... Do you understand what I mean?" Chloe tried to explain it in plain language.

"I see." Lin Qiye nodded.

He had always believed that the power to travel through two thousand years was contained in the disappearing mark... Now it seemed that it was just a medium, and the one who could truly achieve this was Chloe in the future.

"Then how did you send me to two thousand years ago? This is something that even the God of Time finds difficult to do."

"If the [Holy Covenant] is agreed upon, it will definitely be fulfilled. Even if the process is difficult, there will be various factors to help it come true... Let's use the same example. If I borrow ten taels of silver from you and promise to return it to you tomorrow at noon, even if I don't have any means to earn silver, it will run into my bag by itself.

The specific process may be that a thief suddenly trips beside me, and the ten taels of silver he just stole falls in front of me; or it may be that a flying bird carrying a hairpin worth ten taels of silver suddenly falls into my hand, and at this time someone happens to come to buy this hairpin..."

Lin Qiye's mouth gradually opened wider.

"Once a promise is made, it will definitely be fulfilled... So that's what you mean?"

Lin Qiye always thought that the description of Chloe's ability was just some kind of special modification, but he didn't expect it to be so hardcore and could be achieved by any unexpected method. Isn't it similar to good luck and making wishes come true?

"So, as long as we conclude the [Holy Covenant], we can do anything... Then why don't you just conclude the [Holy Covenant] in the future and let the Cthulhu gods be destroyed directly?"
