Bai Shixin nodded and said, "Everyone understands the military advisor's intention. Do you have any advice for me?"
"This …" Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Kong Liang said confidently, "Don't worry, my lord. I have three strategies to offer."
"Please speak …" Bai Shixin said while enduring the pain. Although he had a feeling that the other party was going to trick him again, he could only listen.
Kong Liang did not have any self-awareness at all. Instead, he said proudly, "The best strategy is that the saints are in charge of the Upper Realm. If we choose a saint to rely on, we'll be able to get a big tree."
Sure enough, this guy only knew one thing and not the other. Bai Shixin did not comment and continued asking, "What's the middle strategy?"
"The middle strategy is to reach an agreement with the humans. We'll use joint development as an excuse. Our clan is good at all kinds of underground civil engineering and migrate to the new planet with them."
This was somewhat feasible. Bai Shixin nodded. This guy had improved after all. He had listened to his usual advice to read more books.
"Last strategy?"
"Last strategy is to choose an Enlightened Master to rely on and get some pity."
Kong Liang waved his fan. He looked like he had the pearl of wisdom in his hands. There was no sign of his previous sorrowful look.
Everyone listened with their mouths agape. They understood half of these three stratagems, but they were at their wits' end as to what to do.
Suddenly, someone objected, "The military advisor's three strategies seem brilliant, but they're actually trying to fish from a tree!"
Kong Liang was furious, but he quickly restrained himself. He could not ruin the style left behind by the wise men.
He forced a smile and looked at the person who questioned him. It was the military minister, Bai Shifu, the king's younger brother …
'Luckily I didn't get angry …' He thought happily.
"General Fu, what do you think?" He asked sincerely.
"Your three strategies are basically entrusting the fate of our clan to the hands of others. To put it in human terms, you're suffering from the weakness of a little bourgeois! Our clan has always been independent. How can we rely on others? Just as you cried before, this will only push our clan to the state of a beach castle! "Bai Shifu scolded righteously.
"Sigh, General!" Kong Liang said in an extremely aggrieved manner, "In the current world, those with great strength win. My race has just risen up like a vine. Only by choosing a tree to perch on can we have time to develop. This isn't weakness, but great wisdom!"
Hearing this, Bai Shifu fell silent. The other party's words were not false, although it sounded uncomfortable.
However, ever since the old ancestor was imprisoned, there was no top expert in the clan to shoulder the burden. Now, they were only surviving in a balanced situation.
Once they entered the great battle and encountered a calamity, who in the clan would be able to withstand it?
He couldn't help but look up. Could his wise brother, the current king, have a way to solve this?
"Both the military advisor and the general have their reasons. Don't panic, everyone. A few days ago, I received a piece of news. Today, I will tell you all about it. "Bai Shixin was calm and unhurried.
Seeing this, everyone calmed down. This was the benefit of having a truly wise man as their king. He could always find a solution in all kinds of impossible and desperate situations.
Even if this kind of countermeasure might not necessarily have a good result, at least it could keep people from being at a loss.
"Your subjects are all ears," everyone said respectfully.
"On the Lunaette in the sky, it should be common for all of you to go out and run errands on the ground every day. This news came from above. "
Everyone immediately pricked up their ears. Naturally, they knew about this unparalleled wonder. A giant bear supporting a piece of land was really unheard of since ancient times.
"On the Lunaette, there is a tallest mountain peak that leads to a large sect's grotto-heaven. The story happened here. "
"Two Heavenly Gods came to ask for this grotto-heaven and even used divine means, but the other party still refused to let them in," Bai Shixin said lightly.
The smart ones already understood what he meant.
"My lord, could it be that we also have a chance to get a share of the grotto-heaven?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
However, as soon as this person opened his mouth, he was glared at by everyone.
How could such important news be announced in such a public place?
"Haha, of course we don't have a chance now. However, I'm telling everyone this news to tell everyone that there is a chance of survival under the Heavenly Axiom. If our clan can also obtain a grotto-heaven, we will have obtained an unchanging foundation. Since ancient times, only those with a strong foundation can become kings. Those with an unstable foundation will rise and fall, "Bai Shixin said earnestly.
"My lord is wise. We will work hard to find all the relevant information," everyone said excitedly.
Kong Liang was even more impressed. The news that the King had given him was the right medicine for the problem. It just so happened to solve his three biggest worries.
If they could obtain a grotto-heaven, their clan, kingdom, and King would no longer be a beach castle. They would have a foundation of ten thousand feet.
"That's great. Now, let us put aside our worries and enjoy the night." Bai Shixin raised his cup.
"Let us wish the King a thousand years of longevity," all the officials raised their cups.
…
After the banquet, Bai Shixin returned to the back palace.
Empress Jing came forward to serve him. He waved his hand and said intimately, "I still have important matters to attend to today. You can go back and rest first. Don't wait for me."
"Then my lord can go and do what you need to do. Don't worry about me …" Empress Jing said obediently.
"Mm." Bai Shixin nodded and left the back palace. He went to his South Study.
In the South Study, an old man was sitting on his chair waiting for him.
"Elder Ancestor, what brings you here so late at night?"
Bai Shixin did not mind. After these days, he understood that the Elder Ancestor did not care about power in the mortal world. What he cared about was the development of the Greater Rat Clan.
The Elder Ancestor's foundation to become a god was the Greater Rat Clan.
Although he was now a king and had the support of the people, he realized that the clan's energy still flowed to the Elder Ancestor.
When he thought about the growth of the local Greater Rats, it was all because of the Elder Ancestor. Now, it seemed like the Elder Ancestor had already made arrangements.
"Didn't you say it during the banquet? You want to find a grotto-heaven for our clan to settle down. Today, I will fulfill your wish. "Elder Ancestor Bai said lightly.
Bai Shixin was moved. He was deeply impressed. The old man was a hero of his time. His tolerance was incomparable to ordinary people.
He took away his son's throne. Not only did the Elder Ancestor endure it, he even helped him to strengthen the clan.
Bai Shixin was overjoyed. He quickly asked, "Thank you, Elder Ancestor. Where is the grotto-heaven?"
"I might have to disappoint you. The grotto-heaven is only a temporary arcane realm. It was originally used by a powerful being to leave behind an inheritance … You don't have to think too much about it. If someone takes away the inheritance, it will naturally disappear. However, if you bind the fate of your clan to it, it will become a permanent grotto-heaven, just like the arcane realms that exist now." Elder Ancestor Bai said lightly.
"I see. But that's not bad." Bai Shixin nodded.
"As for the location of its birth and the way to retrieve the inheritance, I'll write it down on this jade scroll. After you've read it, destroy it." After Elder Ancestor Bai finished speaking, he placed a jade scroll on the table and disappeared from the study room.
Bai Shixin took a deep breath. This was the Era of Mythology.
The so-called king was just an ant in someone else's hand …
…
After Elder Ancestor Bai left, he appeared at the side of an underground pasture.
The sun lamp hung high on the rock wall. Some Greater Rat Clan members were driving human agricultural machines to harvest the pasture.
When he saw this, he was silent for a long time.
Soon, a young man with lively eyes appeared beside him.
"Elder Ancestor, I don't understand. Why did you give such a precious opportunity to that traitor?" Nie Yuan asked.
"For the greater good."
