In fact, Zheng Ya had already awakened the physical constitution of his master, the elderly couple, and their family members, thus extending their lifespans.
For their safety, we only helped them to nourish their physiques, without any plan to awaken their special abilities.
Initially, it was simply a protective measure to lull people into a false sense of security, as Zheng Ya didn't want them to become targets of spies.
There are also experiments that involve nourishing the meridians and strengthening the internal organs for several years before helping them awaken their special abilities; the results might be even better.
Unfortunately, Zheng Ya left Blue Star too suddenly, and before he could help them with the final step of physical awakening, he unexpectedly left Blue Star because Wu Wei took away the Muchen Pearl.
This represents Zheng Ya's further evolution of the understanding of functional decline in the elderly.
After all, the elderly couple were getting on in years, and Zheng Ya couldn't help them awaken their superpowers no matter how hard he tried. The only way was to nurture their functions first and then evolve them, so that they would have a chance to awaken their superpowers and go further.
Of course, this was also Zheng Ya's way of keeping a low profile, giving the national leader the highest level of physical care to ensure his health, and as a public figure, testing the international community's attitude.
As the saying goes, a baby learning to walk must first learn to take a step and walk before it can learn to run.
The awakening of supernatural abilities in middle-aged and elderly people should not be carried out in the same way as in young adults, otherwise it will cause a global uproar. Before the country has the ability to deter and suppress the world, it is the best way to proceed slowly.
Taking these factors into consideration, the higher-ups advised Zheng Ya to proceed in this manner.
The actual results were remarkable.
The elderly couple and the women were overjoyed when they learned the truth.
In this era filled with the dawn of longevity, the greatest worry is that one's parents are getting old and one cannot take them and their relatives on a pilgrimage, which becomes a source of heartache.
At present, Zheng Xing announced the gospel that the elderly can also awaken supernatural abilities and live a long life. Everyone is happy for their parents and relatives and sends them the most enthusiastic greetings.
Little did they know that ambitious individuals and terrorist organizations around the world were secretly conspiring to destroy all the achievements Zheng Ya had made.
They were the masterminds behind this global crackdown on criminals, as well as those who managed to escape, who came together to plan the pilgrimage in order to avoid being wiped out.
Coincidentally, two disruptive forces emerged one after another on the Hongli Continent.
One in the south and one in the north, both spreading rumors and causing trouble.
At this moment, a year has passed since the Hongli Continent was established. Zheng Ya has basically stabilized the overt schemes of the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager to annihilate the world, maintaining a peaceful competition and vying for resources.
After all, if they couldn't slaughter all the people and animals in the world, the retired emperor and empress would not be able to go on a killing spree under the premise that Zheng Ya was using a virtual screen to broadcast live, thus incurring public wrath and losing more than they gained.
The only way to win is to shift the battle to resources, commanding legions across the land to coerce people into mining mineral crystals, and killing those who disobey.
It's the same open conspiracy to slaughter the world.
However, Zheng Ya didn't care that they used such methods, and in this conspiracy, Zheng Ya became the biggest beneficiary.
After all, it was a conspiracy that triggered all of humanity. Zheng Ya intervened in it, planned the human physique, influenced the thoughts of the masses, and feigned compliance with the Emperor Emeritus and the Empress Dowager. As the sixth in command, he was constantly generating spiritual energy income.
Over the past year, Zheng Ya has been using his daily spiritual energy to plan the evolution of the human population's physique, accumulating a surplus of 3.8 billion spiritual energy—he's made a fortune!
It's just endless space travel, running around the entire continent, playing tactical maneuvers with the Emperor Emeritus and the Empress Dowager. It would be a lie to say it's not tiring.
Right now, Zheng Ya was sitting on a rock on the east coast of the reef island, gazing at the beautiful sunrise on the horizon. Mu Feng sensed Liu Yuan rushing over and asked, "What happened?"
"Master, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. Something terrible has happened, and I had no choice..." Liu Yuan broke out in a cold sweat and quickly moved to the rocks beside him, wiping his sweat with his sleeve as he apologized, a rare instance of rudeness on his part.
Zheng Ya didn't dwell on it. While restarting the Sihelou Treasure System and connecting to the satellite channel to investigate public opinion at the scene of the incident, he asked, "The sky hasn't fallen yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Ahem, Master, this matter concerns the supporters of Zheng Ya, the predecessor of Fu Ya and a direct descendant of the Zheng family, as well as a powerful organization."
The key issue is that they are divided into two factions, North and South, each with their own set of stories, spreading rumors and causing trouble. What do you think we should do about this? Liu Yuanren was speechless.
Before this, the retired emperor and Empress Dowager Yin had issued numerous decrees to spread rumors about Zheng Ya's identity as a direct descendant of the Zheng imperial family.
However, those were all baseless rumors, without any substantial witnesses or physical evidence to prove that Zheng Ya was a direct descendant of the Zheng imperial family.
Zheng Ya also learned some information from Xie Ming. His predecessor, Fu Ya, came from the Fu clan. However, in order to avoid being discovered and suffering undeserved disaster, he switched the babies and exchanged identities.
This was also a method of infiltrating the Zheng imperial system, seizing the opportunity to reclaim the direct line of emperors, secretly accumulating power in the court, and preparing for a rebellion.
Xie Mingzhan's predecessor was also a direct descendant of the Zheng royal family.
He was born out of wedlock, and was the half-brother of the legitimate son Zheng Ya.
That's all the information we have. Occasionally, there have been brief exchanges with the forces they support, but that's all!
Originally, this information was irrelevant to Zheng Ya, an outsider, and was simply ignored.
Having crossed over from another world, it merely assimilated the bloodline of its predecessor and replaced its appearance; it had no other substantial relationship or characteristics.
Even DNA bloodline identification cannot prove that Zheng Ya is related to the Zheng royal family by blood, so why bother with it?
Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?
But now that someone has jumped out to stir things up, Zheng Ya finds it annoying: "These two people from these forces suddenly jumping out to spread rumors and cause trouble seems simple, but there might be a trap involved, right?"
"Yes, that's what I think too, which is why I dared not act rashly," Liu Yuan said cautiously.
The main problem is that the timing of the appearance of the two disruptive forces was inappropriate.
Why didn't you do this sooner?
When Zheng Ya was wreaking havoc and cultivators from all over the world united to hunt him down, was it appropriate for them to remain silent and watch the show from the sidelines?
If it's for self-preservation and to avoid revealing one's identity and strength, that's understandable.
However, even after all the cultivators in the world joined forces to hunt down Zheng Ya to no avail, and Zheng Ya instead orchestrated numerous events that crushed cultivators and suppressed the forces of the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Yin, they still did not show up to explain themselves.
Not even a single word was conveyed to Zheng Ya.
It wasn't until the retired emperor and the empress's forces had been playing open schemes with Zheng Ya for over a year with no chance of winning, and the conflict had progressed to the stage of a resource-based open scheme battle, that they suddenly jumped out to interfere. What kind of people are they?
Even a fool could see that they were helping the retired emperor and the Empress Dowager's forces to disrupt Zheng Ya's mind and influence the course of the battle. This was highly abnormal.
Zheng Ya used the satellite channel to locate the incident sites in the north and south. He observed that they were confronting the people of the retired emperor and the empress dowager, who were slandering them as not being direct descendants of the Zheng imperial family, but merely thieves. He laughed and said, "They're just staging a self-inflicted injury ruse, aren't they?"
"Master, the problem is, how do you deal with them causing such a commotion?" Liu Yuan was stumped. He tried to put himself in their shoes, but found no solution.
Knowing full well that this was a scheme set up by the retired emperor and the empress dowager to trap Zheng Ya in a dilemma of whether or not to save him, they laid an ambush and waited for Zheng Ya to be captured.
If Zheng Ya doesn't save the person, he will be branded as heartless and ungrateful.
Saving someone means choosing to be caught. Even using a substitute puppet won't save them. What do you do?
