The Human Emperor (200-400)

C316: Deep Night!

"Don't worry, I have an idea in mind!" Wang Chong spoke nonchalantly, but his expression revealed his confidence.

His stroll in the mountains wasn't without reward. With that momentary breather, Wang Chong was able to calm down and take a good look at the situation. Eventually, he decided to take the initiative instead of waiting passively for others to strike.

Walking into the study, he swiftly wrote a few letters.

"Jingdian, take a trip to the Court of Judicial Review and divide the deed as per stated in this note. After which, deliver those deeds along with these letters to the royal court."

"Divide?" Zhao Jingdian's eyebrows twitched, and he keenly noticed the hidden meaning behind Wang Chong's words.

"Un. To those princes, princesses, and royal consorts in the palace, we are nothing more than a thick, juicy piece of meat. We can't afford to offend any of them at the moment. Rather than have them stomp up to our gates, we might as well take the initiative and gift a portion of the land to them."

"This way, we can avoid offending the royal family. At the same time, by dividing the land among everyone, they will be encouraged to restrain one another to prevent another from claiming a larger share of the land," Wang Chong said.

The War of the Princes was a huge whirlpool that was far deadlier than anything else. Even with the Wang Clan's strong foundation, it was still unable to withstand the violent tides.

Ever since ancient times, many were the prestigious clans who had died from being embroiled in the fight for the crown, and a handful of them were even bigger than the current Wang Clan.

Since even those powerhouses ended up being crushed by the whirlpool, there was little hope to believe that the Wang Clan would be an exception.

Taking the initiative to divide and give out the spirit vein was the best solution to resolve this crisis.

Even though it wouldn't satisfy anyone, at the very least, it could guarantee the Wang Clan's safety. Furthermore, through this method, the Wang Clan could also become acquainted with the princes and princesses, and this could prove to be beneficial to the Wang Clan.

After sending Zhao Jingdian away, Wang Chong sat quietly in the room, thinking about Fifth Prince Li Heng's affairs.

Trading for the Blood Reformation has cost me 30 Destiny Energy, but it brought me a reward of 45 Destiny Energy in return. This is really an unexpected gain. It seems like my conjecture is right; the greater the danger and impact of the matter, the more generous the reward will be!, Wang Chong thought as he recalled the voice he heard from the Stone of Destiny when he was back with Li Heng.

Obstructing the Goguryeons' assassination plot and getting rid of King Sosurim had brought him 10 Destiny Energy. Reversing the fate of the Wang Clan had brought him 25. These were far more troublesome than a mere Blood Reformation, and yet it was the latter which brought him 45 Destiny Energy.

This was really an unexpectedly generous reward.

Wait, something is wrong!, a sudden thought flashed across his mind. He realized that he had neglected an extremely important piece of information.

The Crowning of the True Dragon!

On top of mentioning the War of the Princes, the Stone of Destiny had also mentioned the Crowning of the True Dragon. The former was still understandable, but the latter...

In other words, this is only the start. By participating in the process to Li Heng's inauguration, I will be able to earn a steady stream of Destiny Energy!
