"Ha~"
"Drink!"
On the training ground, the new army of the Southern Region is conducting drills in an orderly manner under the command of instructors at all levels.
Shen Zhao stood on a watchtower, peeling an orange in his hand and casually tossing it into his mouth.
The fortune teller climbed up the watchtower, came up behind him, bowed, and called out: "Young Master Shen."
Shen Zhao didn't even turn his head, chewing on an orange, showing no intention of speaking to him.
The fortune teller walked to his side and sighed softly, "Young Master Shen, I know you have a prejudice against Empress Yu, but now that we're on the same side..."
It's really unfair of you to just leave her like this.
Shen Zhao spat out the orange seed, glanced at the fortune teller, and then asked in a cold voice, "Tell me, what is your purpose in trying so hard to bring me and Yu Xiyan together?"
The fortune teller laughed and said, "Young Master Shen is being a bit too sensitive. I just want this crisis on the Heavenly Ranking to pass smoothly, that's all."
"Is that so?"
Shen Zhao's eyes were sharp as he stared intently at the direction of the training ground, unmoving.
"If you don't tell the truth, please take Yu Xiyan back.
My plans remain unchanged regardless of her involvement.
After saying that, Shen Zhao turned around and was about to walk down the watchtower.
"Young Master Shen, please wait!"
The fortune teller hurriedly called out to him.
"Alright, I won't hide it from you anymore. What I'm wondering is, is there still any possibility between you and Empress Yu?"
"hehe……"
Shen Zhao smiled.
"As expected, you are also acting as a lobbyist for Yu Xiyan. Then let me tell you clearly that the grudge between her and me has long been made clear.
There is no possibility between her and me. Go back and tell her to give up this idea.
Just do what you need to do, and stop bothering me.
The fortune teller sighed, "Why do you have to act so distant? In fact, not only you, but also Yu Xiyan are victims."
"Hahaha..."
Shen Zhao suddenly smiled.
"She's a victim? That's fucking hilarious!"
He laughed so hard that tears were about to come out.
"You know what she did to me, yet you're just talking to yourself?"
The fortune teller was silent for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "I know everything. I have seen everything you have experienced in your nine lifetimes."
Shen Zhao's face instantly turned cold, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes as he looked at the fortune teller.
I only heard the divine fortune teller slowly say:
"In your first life, you were executed for collaborating with a foreign enemy."
"In your second life, you were executed for coveting imperial power."
"Third life, treason."
"The fourth generation, who wielded military power and became influential."
"The fifth generation..."
The fortune teller, with intimate knowledge, recounted, word by word, why Shen Zhao, the ninth generation, had died.
Shen Zhao clenched his fists, his gaze towards the fortune teller gradually becoming sharper.
Only after he finished speaking did Shen Zhao ask, "Who exactly are you?"
The fortune teller gave a bitter smile: "I'm just like you, someone who can't control their own destiny. I am the way of heaven in this world."
I know everything about you, including your scheming against the established order.
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhao could no longer bear it and knocked the fortune teller to the ground with a single punch.
"You bastard, since you are the Heavenly Dao, you just stand by and watch me suffer injustice for nine lifetimes? What kind of Heavenly Dao are you!"
"Fuck you! Nine lifetimes! Nine whole lifetimes! Do you know how I survived all that? You inhuman bastard, how dare you even introduce yourself?"
The fortune teller covered his face and slowly stood up: "I'm sorry, I can't help it. The thing called system that is bound to you is so powerful that it is ridiculous.
I had no power to resist him at all. In truth, your fate should not have been like this…
Shen Zhao rudely interrupted him: "I don't want to hear what you're saying. I just want to know why you can watch me suffer like this for nine lifetimes without doing anything."
"What system? You were powerless before? You were just a coward! What are you afraid of? Go get him! You'd only be satisfied if you tormented me for nine lifetimes, wouldn't you?"
The fortune teller said, "I am also in great pain, but I am truly powerless to help."
"Get up!"
Shen Zhao grabbed the fortune teller by the collar and slammed him against a pillar.
"So, you can just sit back and watch that thing control the living beings in this world without feeling guilty?"
Divine Calculator: "I have tried hard to make changes, but the power of rules restricts me from changing anything at all!"
"You're working so hard! This is just an excuse for neglecting your duties!
You should be willing to sacrifice yourself to drag it to hell; that is your duty according to the laws of nature.
"I'm sorry, this is not within the scope of Heaven's duty. My duty is to conform to the order of this world."
"So, did you fucking do it?"
The fortune teller was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.
"What a load of crap! The Way of Heaven? Even a dog I train in a few days is better than you!"
Shen Zhao released the fortune teller and slammed his hand on the wooden railing.
The fortune teller said, "Shen Zhao, our fates are similar; we have both suffered a lot..."
"Who the hell has a similar fate to you? Stop making a scene for yourself. I'll just tell you one thing."
"Don't interfere in my affairs, no matter who you are!"
"I'm afraid that won't work."
The fortune teller sighed.
"To be honest, I don't want to get involved in Yu Xiyan's affairs either. After all, she isn't the chosen one of this world."
But after spending the last few days with her, I realized the situation was more serious than I thought, and it had come to the point where I had no choice but to intervene.
