Fang Yun pondered for a moment and gave a simple answer to thank Ao Yuwei. After all, they weren't close and hence, didn't say too much.
Afterwards, Fang Yun fell into deep thought.
There were only bits and pieces of information about the big shots of the imperial races in the Ancient Demon's inheritance and he couldn't guess who they were.
Back then, Kong Sheng and the Barbarian Saints used the starry sky as a chessboard and the stars as chess pieces to play a huge game of chess. In the end, they used the power of the Literati Star to suppress the stars and form a strange starry sky. That starry sky was the Chaotic Star Chessboard.
It made sense to say that it was the power of the Chaotic Star Chessboard.
As for the Ancient Firmament Galaxy, it was mentioned two or three times in the memories of the Ancient Demon's inheritance. He only knew that it was a supreme treasure of the Emperor race, but he didn't know its exact shape or use.
"Forget it, I reckon even the Saints of the human race don't know what power it is."
Fang Yun stopped thinking about it.
When the time came, a golden ray of light flew over from the Notre-Dame and turned into a huge golden "A" word that floated above the Sacred Temple.
Afterwards, rays of golden light appeared and turned into the word "A" before crossing the sky in a spectacular manner.
Seeing the unprecedented ten golden ranks, some scholars couldn't help but tear up.
There were also many scholars from other nations who came to help in Ning An County. They continuously marveled at it because it was an unprecedented thing.
Many people cheered loudly because they heard that there would be some benefits for every rank. Now that they had obtained ten, Ning An City would become a blessed land in the future. Without the threat of the demons and barbarians, there would definitely be a large number of people moving there.
Some of the Gyeongo people who came to help Fang Yun sighed in their hearts.
Not only did the Ten Nations Grand Tournament and the Jinshi Hunting Ground determine the number of people who would be admitted to the imperial examinations, the palace examinations also played a decisive role!
There was no reward for obtaining only an A rank, but the Notre-Dame clearly stated that every additional A rank would increase the number of people who would be admitted to the imperial examinations in the following year.
Fang Yun obtaining ten ranks almost doubled the number of people who would be admitted to the imperial examinations in Jingguo next year.
That was more important to a nation than obtaining countless gold and silver.
Jingguo was originally a small nation that was inferior to large nations like Wu Guo and Shu Nation. It was even worse than mid-sized countries such as Gyeongo and Jia Country. Naturally, there were very few places available.
But things were different since Fang Yun appeared.
Last year, Fang Yun relied on the Book Hill to snatch some of the spots from Gyeongo's Wu Guo. With the addition of the Ten Nations Grand Tournament and the Jinshi Hunting Ground, as well as the top ten spots in the court examination this time, as well as the newly won spot in Xiangzhou, Jingguo would have more spots for the imperial examinations next year than all the other major nations!
After floating in the air for a moment, the Top Ten turned into a golden list, on which the top scholars of the Ten Nations were listed.
There was no doubt that Fang Yun was at the very top. Every grade under the ten subjects was A.
Yan Yukong was ranked second. If it wasn't B +, then it was B +. There wasn't a single A, which made one's heart ache.
Fang Yun smiled helplessly and secretly sent a letter to Yan Yukong.
"Don't be sad. You are the strongest uncrowned champion in the history of the human race!"
"You … I will take my revenge in Xuehai and during the competition for the throne! By the way, the scholars of the various ancient lands will also enter Xuehai and compete for the throne with us. You have to be careful. The people of the various ancient lands are a little special. They are rarely all-inclusive and are extremely pure. In the past, when they went to Xuehai, they would occasionally beat the Jinshi of Saint Origin World. As for the throne, it's hard to say. The rules of the competition require you to have absolute power. However, there are many outstanding people this year. "
Fang Yun chatted with Yan Yukong about Xuehai and the throne.
The results of the court examination were hung high for three days.
The people of Ning An County sang and danced, celebrating the fact that Fang Yun had become the first Top Ten Scholar in history. However, Fang Yun remained calm and only stayed in the Wen Institute for two hours before returning to the rear office.
Ning An County became a sea of joy. On the other hand, Fang Yun's study was quiet and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of the brush landing on the paper.
Fang Yun did not immerse himself in the joy of being the Top Ten Scholar. Instead, he began writing the second volume of the "History of Ancient Demons".
Fang Yun vaguely felt that there must be a reason. He had to write the "History of Ancient Demons" as soon as possible so that the human race and the Saints could understand the ancient demons and prepare to resist the demons and barbarians.
When he was a Jinshi, Fang Yun wrote the "History of Ancient Demons" very slowly because he had used up too much talent.
Now that Fang Yun was in the Hanlin Academy, he had a lot of talent. Although it was only one inch tall, it was more than the total amount of talent he had when he was a Jinshi. Moreover, he had five talents now.
Fang Yun knew very well that the History of the Ancient Demons he had written was very different from Kong Sheng's Spring and Autumn. This was because he had only converted the Ancient Demon's heritage into words, while Spring and Autumn contained the truths of the Divine Path.
However, even so, the "History of Ancient Demons" contained a lot of power. After all, it was the history of hundreds of thousands of years. Once it was finished, it would shock the world.
In the future, he could delete the text and rewrite it. After all, even "Spring and Autumn" did not remain unchanged. Even after Kong Sheng became a Saint, he had been constantly improving it.
Unless Fang Yun majored in history, it would be very difficult for the "History of Ancient Demons" to reach the level of "Spring and Autumn".
Fang Yun did not care about this. He had three goals for writing the "History of Ancient Demons". First, to let the human race understand the ancient demons. Second, to obtain the power of the "History of Ancient Demons". Third, to broaden history. He did not treat the "History of Ancient Demons" as his foundation for becoming a Saint.
Moreover, the "History of Ancient Demons" was the history of the ancient demons, not the history of humanity. The human race could use it to obtain immense power, but it was definitely impossible for them to become a Saint.
"It's great for the human race to write the" History of Ancient Demons ", but will there be any changes in the ancient demon race?"
Fang Yun threw this thought to the back of his mind and continued to write with the brush.
While writing the "History of Ancient Demons", Fang Yun was multitasking and reading books in the strange book world.
Dividing his attention to read books in the strange book world had almost become a habit of Fang Yun's. He would do this every day when he opened his eyes and would only stop when he closed his eyes.
In the afternoon, Fang Yun could not write in peace. This was because the officials of Ning An County came to visit Fang Yun in the name of handling official business.
In at most three days, Fang Yun would leave Ning An County.
Most of the officials did not say much. Some of them were purely grateful to Fang Yun for helping Ning An County develop. Some expressed their regret for joining the Left Minister's party. Some asked for advice on the upcoming government affairs. Some even asked Fang Yun how to deal with their family matters.
More than half of the officials asked Fang Yun if he had time and if he could give them pointers on poetry, policy, or scriptures before he left.
With the arrival of literature, it was almost certain that there would be an additional imperial examination. These officials would obtain the right to take the imperial examinations again. Naturally, they had to grasp this opportunity tightly.
Night fell. Fang Yun sent a letter to everyone. Tomorrow, he would give a private lecture to all the officials and private soldiers. It would last for six hours.
After dinner, Fang Yun gathered everyone in his family and announced that he would be leaving Ning An County. When the time came, he would return to the Spring Garden in the capital. He told them to be prepared.
Fang Yun stood in the courtyard and stroked Nu-Nu in his arms. He wanted to do something else, but after some thought, he decided against it. It was better to abide by the conduct of the officials who had left their posts. He did not need to worry too much and would return to the capital when the time came.
If he really wanted to do something, he would come back when his foundation was more stable.
The next morning, Fang Yun entered the Academy of Literature. This time, not only were the officials of Ning An County and his private soldiers there, but the two thousand soldiers were also there to listen to his lecture.
Fang Yun sat cross-legged in the middle of the Academy of Literature and began his lecture.
He spoke until the afternoon. Fang Yun stood up.
Even after Fang Yun left the Academy of Literature, the people were still immersed in Fang Yun's heavenly words. They could not extricate themselves and continued to learn the wonders of his words.
Fang Yun left the Academy of Literature. He sat in a carriage and headed to the workshop for an inspection.
When they heard that Fang Yun had come, a large number of workers walked out of the workshop. They all knew that Fang Yun was about to leave, and their eyes were filled with reluctance.
In Ning An County. Fang Yun might only be Xusheng, but in Ning An County Workshop, Fang Yun was the truth!
These people did not know anything about flattery. They did not know anything about currying favor. They did not even know much about poetry or essays, but they knew that mechanisms were a great power!
Mechanisms were everything!
These workers admired Fang Yun's mechanical skills, and at the same time, they respected Fang Yun's fairness. This was because Fang Yun was the only one in the world who truly valued ordinary workers like them and opened up a path for them to rise. He was not like those merchants and bureaucrats who only treated them as high-class slaves.
The eyes of all the workers turned red.
Fang Yun smiled.
Xusheng should not show his emotions on his face.
The stubborn old man, Liu Yu, walked quickly to Fang Yun and said loudly with a smile, "Little County Magistrate Fang, you're here for an inspection?"
Fang Yun nodded.
"When are you leaving? When the time comes, everyone in the workshop will send you off! "Liu Yu still had a smile on his face.
Fang Yun seemed to be infected by Liu Yu's smile. He smiled and said, "Tomorrow or the day after. I don't want to cause a commotion, so I'll leave quietly."
Liu Yu said, "I think it's better if you announce it in advance. If you say so, we'll definitely take turns guarding the entrance of the county office. Once we realize that you're leaving, we'll start sounding the gong to alert everyone in the city!"
Fang Yun was stunned. The people of Ning An County would definitely do that.
"Alright, since I'm leaving, let's be straightforward. I'll leave tomorrow morning," Fang Yundao said.
"Then it's settled! We'll send you off tomorrow morning. Please don't sneak away! "
"Okay!"
"I'll accompany you on your inspection. You don't have to worry about them. They're all good-for-nothings! You'll be promoted to the Notre-Dame in the capital. It's a joyous occasion. You must laugh! "Liu Yu said cheerfully.
Liu Yu accompanied Fang Yun as he walked through the workshop street again.
Fang Yun got into the carriage and turned around before the door.
There were many people standing in front of all the workshops.
"Farewell, everyone!"
"Alright! You … remember to come back and take a look. "The stubborn old man, Liu Yu, finally couldn't take it anymore. He turned his head and covered his face with his sleeves as tears streamed down his face.
Fang Yun entered the carriage.
"Back to the county office."
The coachman's body trembled slightly. Fang Yun's voice seemed a little hoarse.
He raised the long whip and the carriage moved forward. Finally, it disappeared from everyone's sight.
In the early morning of the third day of the eleventh month, an oil lamp in a house in the northern part of the city lit up.
"Wake up! It's daybreak! "
"Father, you're lying! It's not even daybreak. It's already Lidong. How can the sun rise so early? Let me sleep a little longer! "A twelve-year-old child curled up in his bed.
"If you sleep any longer, Lord Fang will leave!"
"Ah! No! "The child quivered and suddenly got up.
"Get dressed quickly!"
"Where's mother?" The child asked while putting on his clothes. He didn't look sleepy at all.
"She's baking fragrant white flour pancakes for young county magistrate to eat on the way."
"Oh. I'm done! "The child's voice was full of vigor.
"Go wash your face and leave as soon as you finish eating. Don't be late!"
"It won't be late. The sun hasn't risen yet."
"Father, don't forget to bring a lantern. The Wenqu Star is too big. What if it bumps into something?"
Not long after, the family finished eating. The child's mother carried a bamboo basket tightly covered with a white cloth. The child's father carried a lantern and walked out of the house in the cold night wind.
"Father, why are you in such a hurry? At this time, it's definitely not …"
The child stood at the door and looked around blankly.
The whole city was brightly lit. Lanterns fluttered along the way.
In the early morning of the winter, under the Wenqu Star, there was an endless stream of people in Ning 'an City at night.
Everyone was heading in the same direction.
The child grinned and said loudly, "Let's go! See County Magistrate Xiao Fang off! "
