“You’re sending them to their deaths! Once they die, there will be all sorts of problems at the front line… and also…”
“Hey, hey, hey… don't talk to me about this. Just do what I tell you! Moreover, this isn’t my idea, it’s from above! Do you understand?”
“Above!?”
Fang Yuqiong’s face showed a hint of suspicion, but after a moment, it turned to realization.
“Exactly, it’s from above. Your grandfather probably hasn’t told you, right? Your uncle is just a puppet; there are others above me.”
The celestial god said this, then quietly leaned closer to Fang Yuqiong's ear and whispered the four words “earth's will.”
Fang Yuqiong naturally knew that the celestial god was backing the earth's will, and at this point, it seemed like nobody was unaware of this matter anymore.
In fact, not long ago, there was an incident called the “dispute of legitimacy,” but it ended up being left unresolved.
For humanity, who is legitimate is not important; what matters are the interests.
Fang Yuqiong frowned and thought for a long time. After a while, he finally spoke.
“So this order...”
“Who knows what that person is thinking.”
“It’s still not acceptable. If I make such a decision, the resulting losses would be enough for others to impeach me. The price is too high! Uncle, you wouldn’t want to see me fall as soon as I just took office, would you?”
“Yeah, I wouldn’t want that either… but that person seems to be getting impatient… so, it’s also difficult for your uncle.”
The conversation between the two fell into a deadlock until Fang Yuqiong spoke again.
“Then... how about this? Let me talk to the earth's will. Uncle, we are all on the same rope now. I think I should go with you to meet our leader, don’t you think?”
Although Fang Yuqiong said this, his face clearly showed disbelief in the celestial god’s intentions.
He didn’t believe that the earth's will would issue such orders.
For someone “uninformed” like Fang Yuqiong, there were many problems inside this. The most important point—how could our beloved Mother Earth issue a command that would lead her subjects to voluntarily seek death?
Perhaps only seeing is believing could dispel all doubts. Moreover, Fang Yuqiong’s position would certainly not be worse than that of the celestial god. If the celestial god could meet the earth's will, why wouldn’t he be able to?
Don’t use any leverage as an excuse; that thing could only be nuclear weapons. Before the two formally turned against each other, the celestial god could only wave this around. If it really came to using it, the celestial god wouldn’t dare...
What effort did it take to push Fang Yuqiong into position? This matter cannot be repeated. Once Fang Yuqiong is gone, this line would be completely severed—and it would be the kind that could never be reconnected!
Why, after the beijing subversion plan was uncovered, did the celestial god no longer think about getting rid of Lin Haifeng? It was simply because eliminating him would be of no use. Even if Lin Haifeng died, the entire Beijing would still be trapped in the Layered Battlefield, and the celestial god wouldn’t be able to intervene. With Fang Yuqiong’s defection, killing Lin Haifeng would finally have the greatest significance and gains.
In other words, now Fang Yuqiong’s identity did not simply belong to the “coerced” side; his words held a certain weight in the ears of the celestial god and the earth's will.
The celestial god could understand these principles as well—indeed, in his eyes, it was odd that Fang Yuqiong didn’t doubt it. So after a moment of silence, the celestial god finally spoke.
“Is that so? Then I’ll go back and ask.”
…
In fact, at this point, the celestial god truly had no more doubts—Lin Haifeng was dead, and the sovereign’s sequence change announcement made it clear this matter could not be faked.
And Fang Yuqiong, who personally killed Lin Haifeng, also had no way back—although he was now the commander-in-chief of Beijing, Lin Haifeng had dominated for so many years, and even in death, his influence was not something that Fang Yuqiong could compare to now. If things were to leak, Fang Yuqiong would definitely be crushed by Beijing.
