Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1088: Chapter 265: Rainbow Pill, Breaking Through to the Rainbow Realm!

”Have you long suspected that I obtained the legacy of Chang Chun Valley?”

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, ”Hmm, ever since you emerged from the Medicine King Treasure, I have been suspicious, but I had no evidence.”

Chen Jie looked at her and said, ”Now you have evidence.”

Zhao Ya said, ”Yes, there is evidence now.”

”Chen Jiusi, now that you’ve exposed this trump card, aren’t you afraid that I’ll report to the court to have you charged with a serious crime?”

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie.

Chen Jie remained silent for a moment and said, ”If you wish to, no one can stop you.”

”Don’t have that indifferent attitude; since you have the Valley Master’s Iron Ring of Chang Chun Valley, you must be its heir, and you’ve surely learned the Chang Chun Skill, haven’t you?”

Chen Jie looked calmly at Zhao Ya and said, ”Yes.”

Zhao Ya said, ”Then you should know how Chang Chun Valley was destroyed, right?”

Chen Jie replied, ”Chang Chun Skill is the Spring Chapter of the ’Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique,’ one of the Three Divine Skills of the Human Emperor. Those who learn this Divine Technique are considered to have a heavenly mandate, feared by successive emperors, which is why Zhao Song massacred Chang Chun Valley.”

Zhao Ya said, ”Indeed, the Three Divine Skills of the Human Emperor, possessing them means having a heavenly mandate. You are so talented, the world in such chaos, and I am of the Daqian Royal Family, the Borjigit Clan, so what should I do?”

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie.

She understood the culture of the Central Plains and the weight of these Three Divine Skills of the Human Emperor.

Let’s not dissect the significance of these Three Divine Skills from a mystical perspective; from a political perspective, as the Royal Family of Daqian, the beneficiaries, they can’t just watch as someone who has mastered the Three Divine Skills of the Human Emperor continues to exist in the world.

Why?

Because of reputation.

Huaxia’s people always emphasize legitimacy in their actions. Back when Liu Bang revolted, he had to slay a white serpent to prove the heavenly mandate was on his side.

And if you look at historical records, you’ll find many accounts of emperors’ births accompanied by heavenly signs: the sky changing color, the sun and moon losing light, a red sun transforming into a auspicious Qilin, all of which attest to their divine mandate.

Does this seem possible?

The likelihood is small, most of it fabricated, all to prove their uniqueness and claim divine right to rule!

But the Three Divine Skills of the Human Emperor go beyond these means, learning them provides a heavenly mandate, making it superior political propaganda.

Who could resist such political flattery?

This legend has passed down for a thousand years and is believed by successive emperors, giving it unique legitimacy.

This is far more convincing than claiming to be the son of a slain white serpent or concocting some temporary divine lineage as proof of being the Heavenly Mandate Person.

Especially in this turbulent and chaotic world, the Three Divine Skills of the Human Emperor have little impact during times of peace. If people are well-fed and clothed, and the nation is secure and prosperous, who would think of overthrowing the dynasty?

What good is the heavenly mandate then?

You have the heavenly mandate, so should we leave our families and homes to follow you in a venture where we’d lose our heads?

Wishful thinking!

However, in chaotic times, this effect changes dramatically.

In chaos, having a gun makes one a king, but these are mere trifles. A king does not hold the heavenly mandate. But if someone with the heavenly mandate, armed with the Three Divine Skills of the Human Emperor, calls upon the masses...

What do you think the effect would be?

It would be terrifying. Trust in Huaxia’s wisdom. Why emphasize legitimacy?

Because with legitimacy, those in rebellion will have hope for the future and wholeheartedly engage in the rebellion, unlike being forcibly conscripted.

There’s a world of difference between willingly doing something and being forced to do it.

In such chaotic times, the previously irrelevant Three Divine Skills of the Human Emperor could become the final straw that breaks the camel’s back.

This is the great righteousness!

And as a member of the Daqian Royal Family, a descendant of the Borjigit Clan, Zhao Ya must take responsibility for her family empire. From a perspective of self-interest, she should report to the court and have the court eliminate these destabilizing factors.

Especially after Han Shantong’s rebellion.

Daqian’s invincible fortune has faded, and now the world is in turmoil, everyone vying to be king during chaos. If Chen Jie, this true dragon and phoenix among men, is allowed to develop...

Then she would be an accomplice to the grave diggers of Daqian.

Yet, if you say she should betray Chen Jie and let him die, she cannot do it either. After all, Chen Jie has helped her many times, saving her from life-and-death predicaments.

Zhao Ya, do you really want to be an ungrateful villain?

So she is torn. Rationality tells her she should report Chen Jie, but her emotions tell her she cannot.

And women are often emotional!

She continued to look at Chen Jie, hoping he would give her a reason, just a reason that could convince her, and she would try to deceive herself.

Even if in Chen Jie’s heart, he seeks to overthrow this decaying Daqian.

She kept looking at Chen Jie.

Chen Jie also looked at her, he too was torn. He never expected to be driven to this point. Zhao Ya was part of his political goals at this stage, he needed Zhao Ya’s help for some political shelter, such as from Ruyang Royal Mansion.

Because with Zhao Ya, Ruyang King’s attempts against him would be intercepted by Zhao Ya.

And Zhao Ya held weight within the Ruyang King system, making her vital to Chen Jie, along with her multiple times of help and importance to him.

Whether from political goals or personal feelings.

For Zhao Ya, Chen Jie needs to protect her.

Therefore, Chen Jie was willing to take risks to save Zhao Ya, but being forced step by step into this precarious situation, Chen Jie had no choice but to find a way to break through the Rainbow Realm.
