Chapter 654 - 210: Sir, Will You Become My Only Regent King in the Future?_4
What was bound to come had finally come, Wang Mu thought.
[Wang Mu: If it’s a core secret, then why did you in the Upper Realm set up such a core secret as a test?]
[Mr. Lee: ...]
[Mr. Lee: Right now, I am the one questioning you.]
[Wang Mu: So, you wouldn’t know this secret either?]
[Mr. Lee: I... I naturally do not know it.]
He doesn’t know? Wang Mu shook his head. It seemed this Mr. Lee didn’t hold a very high position in the Upper Realm.
Then this Moon God must be just a minor Immortal.
Such secrets were initially known only by Xiao Li.
Of course, the Observation Army Formation was considered a secret back then. But since the entire nation had ascended, the Observation Army Formation wasn’t considered that powerful anymore. Those generals he had fostered had all become Divine Generals in the Upper Realm.
But, no matter how many had ascended, the Observation Army Formation still remained Xiao Li’s secret. It was something that only Xiao Li’s most trusted confidants or the nation’s loyal officials in the Upper Realm would know.
It made sense. A mere Moon God and an enforcer wouldn’t be privileged to this information. This showed that Xiao Li guarded this secret very well.
He probably seldom spoke of it to others.
[Mr. Lee: But I know that in our Dynasty, it is said that to this day, only one Prince with a different surname, who has since disappeared, knew this secret. He was called Mr. Tian and left the Li Dynasty long ago.]
Hearing this, Wang Mu felt a sense of unease.
After the incident at the Moon Palace, Wang Mu had anticipated this. If Xiao Li were still in the Upper Realm, it would surely attract attention.
[Wang Mu: I haven’t heard of him. I don’t know.]
The Lower Realm still had a plethora of issues. Xiao Li was so formidable in the Upper Realm, and Wang Mu didn’t wish to get involved again.
After all, the final storyline of the Dynasty ended when Xiao Li ascended the throne. He crowned Mr. Tian as a Prince with a different surname. In a private space where they were alone, Xiao Li lay sideways on the Dragon Bed. Behind the hazy curtain, a Ghost Shadow flickered, and then Xiao Li majestically asked:
"Mr. Tian, will you become my sole Regent King in the future?"
And after that, the Dynasty storyline ended.
That was the final ending CG: Dragon Bed Binding King.
It was the only special CG in the Love Saint ending.
No other storylines had it.
By then, Xiao Li had truly become a sovereign, amassing the Qi Fortune of the entire world and exuding an overwhelmingly majestic aura.
Lying sideways on the Dragon Bed, dressed in a Dragon Robe, his very posture resembled that of a soaring Giant Dragon. The words he spoke carried an irresistible pressure, and the word ’sole’ was particularly emphasized with a high-pitched tone.
In the game, of course, one agreed.
After agreeing, Xiao Li’s romance route officially ended.
The Love Stronger than Gold Diagram then lit up.
And then... then he disappeared.
He couldn’t afford not to disappear. The Dynasty storyline had concluded. By this time, Piao Miaoxu from the Jianghu storyline already knew the world was settled and her ambitions were crushed. She was about to launch a final, desperate counterattack from Piaomiao Palace. He had to rush to Piaomiao Palace and eliminate her, otherwise...
So, in that storyline, he certainly became Xiao Li’s Regent King, a position arguably second only to the sovereign.
In reality, of course, he left.
The ending was pretty much the same for the other female leads—they all just disappeared.
Meanwhile, at the end of that route, Xiao Li wouldn’t know that Mr. Tian was actually Dongfang Mu, nor would he know about the other female leads.
And the other female leads, in the Jianghu storyline, more or less knew a little about each other.
Xiao Li, however, was completely unaware of those other female leads.
Wang Mu didn’t dare to think... What would happen if Xiao Li discovered his current identity?
Those few who achieved Ascension are troublesome enough...
And this Empress, whose entire nation achieved Ascension and who now rules the Immortal Court in the Upper Realm...
If she knew that the Mr. Tian from back then had secretly, behind her back, been involved with who knows how many other women...
When it came to settling that score, Wang Mu didn’t dare to imagine...
Moreover, Xiao Li’s nation had achieved Ascension quite early. In the Jianghu storyline’s ending, none of the female leads knew that Dongfang Mu had also used the alias Mr. Tian.
They likely didn’t know about each other.
It would be best if the identity of Mr. Tian simply disappeared.
Dealing with those who’ve achieved Ascension is troublesome enough...
And he was merely at the Nascent Soul realm...
[Mr. Lee: Since that’s the case, I won’t ask further. You keep this item; I will contact you frequently in the future.]
[Wang Mu: But didn’t the Upper Realm say the Divine Light Mirror couldn’t be...?]
[Mr. Lee: Recently, a group of Upper Realm Cultivators have smuggled themselves into the Lower Realm. They’ve concealed their names and identities, seeking to absorb the Qi Fortune of the Mortal World. I want you to help me observe them closely. There will be a substantial reward afterward, and then I will retrieve the Divine Light Mirror.]
So, there’s such a thing happening? Wang Mu thought. Why would they need me, a Lower Realm Cultivator, to help?
[Mr. Lee: You have the Divine Light Mirror, so you can report to me anytime... Hmm... Also, about the Moon God... Although she is an Upper Realm Fairy, she’s quite inexperienced. You should avoid contacting her too much. We don’t want to arouse her curiosity about the Lower Realm, lest she wishes to descend and violate the Celestial Regulations!]
[Wang Mu: Understood.]
[Mr. Lee: Let’s leave it at that for today.]
...
The Immortal Court of the Upper Realm... sounds truly extraordinary, Wang Mu mused with a sigh.
He then used the other Divine Light Mirror to search for the Moon Immortal’s signal.
The repaired Divine Light Mirror, perhaps missing some component, was incredibly slow in its search process.
It took a long while before it indicated a successful connection.
[Moon God: Well? How did it go?]
[Wang Mu: It’s fine. Mr. Lee said I should keep the Divine Light Mirror for now. He mentioned that a group of Upper Realm Cultivators have smuggled themselves into the Lower Realm, and he wants my help to observe them. He’ll retrieve the Divine Light Mirror after this matter is concluded. So... you understand, don’t you?]
[Moon God: Ah?]
[Wang Mu: What’s wrong? Is there a problem?]
[Moon God: ...No... no problem. You should just listen to him.]
