How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

In the 102nd year of Jian'an, the imperial teacher died of illness on a snowy day, causing grief throughout the world.

The following year, the emperor announced his abdication and the crown prince inherited the throne. The emperor traveled around the country and when he arrived in Yizhou, he looked at the Dujiangyan Irrigation System and saw that water from the sky was split by the people and poured into the fertile fields of thousands of families. A statue of the imperial preceptor stood on the Yuji Mountain with no expression on his face, which meant - human.

The construction of Dujiangyan was not the work of the Imperial Master alone, but the result of the hard work of the people of Yizhou and the support from all directions.

"Second brother, what is good about this world?" Xie Jinyu asked Xie Chengze one day.

"I don't know." Xie Chengze answered honestly.

"Then why do you want to protect the world, second brother?"

"Because, my second brother was once a human being."

So, I want to protect the world and I want to protect myself.

The retired emperor traveled around the world for ten years and witnessed the prosperous era that the national master hoped for. He later committed suicide with a sword in front of the national master's tomb at the age of fifty-three.

"Shen Yuan, you promised me."

Imperial College, in a dark room.

Xie Jinyu's words rang in the ears of the elderly Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan once made a deal with Xie Jinyu. As long as Shen Yuan was willing to insert the Jian'an sword into his heart before his death and take all his blood to offer a sacrifice to the altar formation in the dark room, he would let Shen Yuan live in Chenghuan Palace and stay by Xie Chengze's side to prolong his life.

Shen Yuan agreed.

And now, it's time to fulfill the promise.

only……

Shen Yuan looked at the altar formation. This was his first time entering a dark room. He couldn't help but wonder whether the requests made by Xie Jinyu were related to Xie Jinyu's rebirth?

Or maybe it’s not just humans who are being reborn.

But the whole world is also being reborn.

This Jian'an sword...

It is the strongest sword in the world, and no one has been able to break its blade. Xie Chengze had been stabbed in the heart by it, and he himself had also been stabbed in the heart by it. Did Xie Jinyu also die in this way, and then be reborn through a blood sacrifice?

Numerous confusions stirred up Shen Yuan's doubts, and he could not help but look towards the Book of Heavenly Decree.

"What secrets does this world have?"

"Zhang Yuheng." Shen Yuan called Zhang Yuheng who was at the door, "Open the Book of Heavenly Decree. I want to see what is written inside."

Zhang Yuheng walked in, hesitating slightly, with a look in his eyes that suggested: This is not a good idea.

"I'm already dying." Shen Yuan smiled and shook his head, "What are you afraid of?"

Zhang Yuheng thought so too, so he walked to the altar and opened the Book of Heaven's Decree.

The Book of Heaven's Decree did not resist, which meant that it agreed to be opened. Zhang Yuheng completely let go of his psychological barriers, picked up the Book of Heaven's Decree directly, and walked in front of Shen Yuan.

There was still nothing written at the beginning, until the middle, when it began to predict major disasters in previous years. Finally, Zhang Yuheng turned to the page of the heavenly decree belonging to Xie Chengze.

"His Highness Cheng Huan was born with Cheng Ze, and the lucky star descended from heaven with auspiciousness and prosperity. Hui Qi, the common people, spent their lifespan, and returned to the dream of reincarnation without doubt."

original……

The prophecy has long indicated that you will have a short life.

No wonder Emperor Jian never hoped that you could work hard to govern the country.

"What's next?" Shen Yuan pointed to the next page of the Book of Heavenly Decree, "Keep turning."

Zhang Yuheng used his own sign language while turning the pages of the heavenly book, indicating, "I can't turn the pages at the back... Eh?"

This time, Zhang Yuheng easily opened the next page.

They both looked over, and then their eyes trembled slightly, "This...!"

"I see……"

Shen Yuan finally understood why Xie Jinyu wanted him to pierce his heart with the Jian'an Sword and use all his blood to activate the magic circle. This was because the Jian'an Sword and the magic circle were both the medium to restart the world, and as the main character of the story "Powerful Minister", as long as the magic circle was opened by blood sacrifice, anyone who died from being pierced in the heart by the Jian'an Sword would be reborn!

Zhang Yuheng: "Are we actually characters in a book? Or has the heavens predicted our fate and maliciously compared our experiences to a book?"

Zhang Yuheng frowned slightly, but soon felt relieved. "It's quite interesting. If conditions permit, I really want to see what kind of book this is and whether the fate of each of us is really the same as in this novel."

Shen Yuan laughed, "Of course it's different. In the storybook, you never appeared in the court, Su Qinghe was not the president of the Imperial College, and Jian'an would not have developed into the prosperous era it is today."

Just because Xie Chengze came over.

Everything has changed.

"There are many more novels behind this!" Zhang Yuheng turned to the last page and found that it was filled with the names of novels. "Powerful Minister" was sandwiched in the middle, and the novels behind it...

"Hey, there is a person named 'Chen Huang' here. Could it be referring to Chen Huang, the founding emperor of Chenlong Country 1,200 years ago? I heard that he was a fan of Longyang..."

"Then the name of the story book before "Powerful Minister" could be a biography of some future figure, right?"

Hearing this, Shen Yuan was slightly startled, then smiled.

He said softly: "Talents emerge in every generation."

However, if this blood array is activated...

The world that should have continued to move forward will restart, and Xie Jinyu and he will be reborn again.

What about Xie Chengze?

Will he be reborn if his heart is not pierced by the Jian'an sword?

Xie Jinyu is not a careless person, he probably knows a way to get Xie Chengze back, but...

Shen Yuan knew that what Xie Chengze was thinking about most were his family and the world that originally belonged to him.

Even after living in another world for twenty-four years, he never gave up on returning home.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness."

He had no right to deprive people from the future of their right to appear, and he didn't want Xie Chengze, who had finally returned home, to be pulled back into this world again.

Just think of it as revenge for his loyalty in his previous life but the sword that struck him so miserably. Your Highness, this time... I will break my promise.

"Hey? There's another line of words here!" Zhang Yuheng pushed Shen Yuan and pointed to a very small line of words in the lower right corner of the back of the Book of Heaven's Decree and signed.

"Sacrifice blood to the formation, touch the divine decree, travel to another world, and revive through a corpse. - Special treatment for the protagonist?"

"Time travel is risky, so be careful. If there is no corpse with the same name, your loved ones will shed tears."

Shen Yuan's heart moved.

Can he... go to Xie Chengze's world?

"The risk is too great." Zhang Yuheng signed, "Besides, what if there is no corpse with the same name, what if there is no state master in that other world..."

"I'm willing to take a gamble."

Just like the year we first met, that bright and handsome young man, I am willing to bet that he remains true to his original intentions and is not innocent.

As the blood spread across the magic circle, Shen Yuan closed his eyes and tightly grasped a silver tassel earring in his palm.

Your Highness, I miss you.

Every day, every moment, every year.
