Tang Yi was indeed much easier to communicate with than Tang Er.
When Tang Yi said "let's go," it marked the end of the matter—mission failed, and the Eternal Sky City could not be retrieved. "Take me to meet your boss."
For Tang Yi, whether or not they could reclaim the Eternal Sky City was just that—perhaps the strategic significance of the city was not meant to serve a single person. The caring Tang Haofei understood that placing the Eternal Sky City in Lin Haifeng's hands was the best choice. However, for the celestial god, this was an utterly disastrous outcome.
The entire plan was not really aimed at saving Tang Haofei, but rather at securing the Eternal Sky City, or more accurately, Wen Yu. Tang Haofei was merely a byproduct of the overall strategy, a sort of bonus. Furthermore, now that Tang Haofei was extremely unstable, with Tang Yi and Tang Er switching personalities, even if Tang Haofei was an incredibly sharp blade, he was still a double-edged sword. Coupled with Tang Haofei's power, it was not an exaggeration to say that no one in this world dared to wield him.
"Rescuing him but not being able to use him... what’s the point of that?"
Clearly, Tang Haofei understood this. Even if Tang Yi had awakened, Beijing could no longer push Tang Haofei towards the throne of the guardian of the human race. Wen Yu would never allow this unstable factor to roam freely in the world. Waking up was one thing, but whether he could appear before others was another story altogether.
Tang Yi was deeply aware of the situation and naturally understood his awkward position. To put it bluntly, he was now just a beautiful vase—appearing lovely but ultimately something that could only be admired, not used. Just as Tang Yi thought, he had completely become a superfluous person.
Perhaps it would be a good choice to meet the celestial god's boss first.
In short, the planning process went smoothly, and the entire procedure was nearly flawless. However, the backup plan left by Lin Haifeng in the Eternal Sky City, along with the personality switches between Tang Yi and Tang Er, caused the entire plan to completely derail.
A definite failure and wasted effort...
After coming to terms with these thoughts in a short time, the celestial god took a deep breath, suppressing the frustration that surged within, and then spoke, "Let's go."
Since failure had already been predetermined, it was pointless to dwell on anything else. The current priority was to think about how to achieve their goals in this complicated situation.
The celestial god's expression remained unchanged, but his mind raced. On the surface, it looked like he merely paused his steps before floating into the air and flying straight towards the gathering place in Beijing.
Ye Nan and Tang Haofei followed closely behind.
…
At the Beijing gathering place, after half an hour of chaos, the turmoil in the Inner City was nearing its end.
The elite troops of Beijing surrounded the Inner City's A3 to A6 street blocks, with countless heavy cannons, defensive weapons, and runes firmly sealing several streets, while "Lin Tianxue's subordinates" were left helpless in the face of this onslaught.
In simple terms, the two sides were not on the same level at all. Even without Lin Haifeng present, Lin Tianxue's "rebellion" quickly collapsed under Beijing's instinctive defenses. Even the armies and powerhouses that had originally supported Lin Tianxue made wise choices when the "Lin Tianxue Rebellion" began.
"Joining you was for the spoils, but your actions are clearly reckless; I’m not going to follow you."
No one was foolish. If you want power, we can support you and speak for you at times, but if you want to overthrow Commander Lin's rule... Ha! You a woman should know how strong Lin Haifeng is; we, as high-ranking military officials, understand it well enough.
Everyone understood from the beginning that Lin Tianxue's plans were nothing but child's play in Lin Haifeng's eyes.
Thus, everything happening in the Inner City of Beijing was merely viewed by most as a farce created by a crazed Lin Tianxue. The encircling armies and military powerhouses observed the massive water sphere in the center as if they were watching a monkey show.
