Dragon's Origin

These words confused everyone except Wang Sheng and the old eunuch, who were left wondering what they were talking about.

Wang Sheng, however, secretly praised him, the old eunuch’s insight was truly sharp. He had only recently decided on his path, and the old eunuch probably saw it the moment they met.

The old eunuch was equally surprised. Wang Sheng continued to bring him more and more surprises.

The words he spoke while Wang Sheng was taking the medicine, Wang Sheng had completely heard, understood, and comprehended, and within just half a month, he had already figured out a solution.

Seeing Wang Sheng's firm and confident gaze, the old eunuch knew that Wang Sheng would no longer be troubled by similar reasons in his cultivation, meaning that Wang Sheng's path of cultivation ahead was smooth.

What moved the old eunuch the most was that Wang Sheng, a mere third realm cultivator, faced six sixth and seventh realm cultivators, plus the unfathomable old eunuch himself, yet he didn't show any fear or guilt.

Was it just a strong facade to appear calm? Knowing Wang Sheng for so long, and after investigating the various things Wang Sheng had done, it was clear that this wasn't the case.

In other words, Wang Sheng, a junior, might really have the confidence to leave everyone, including the old eunuch, in the Thousand Absolutes Land.

Back when Wang Sheng was still an insignificant cultivator, he had already buried more than a dozen fifth realm experts and hundreds of experts with much higher cultivation than him. Now Wang Sheng was at the peak of the third realm, guided by experts from all sides, including the old eunuch himself, so how many people could Wang Sheng deal with in the Thousand Absolutes Land?

Along the way, the old eunuch had secretly probed him many times, but he didn't see any flaws or guilt in Wang Sheng. Several times, the old eunuch secretly made some moves that even the commander and several imperial guards didn't notice, but Wang Sheng avoided them without any danger. Once or twice, the old eunuch thought it was luck, but after seven or eight times, it couldn't be explained by luck.

The only explanation was that Wang Sheng was indeed more skilled than the imperial guards in some aspects, even the sixth and seventh realm cultivators beside him. Wang Sheng even smiled nonchalantly at the old eunuch after dodging the probes twice. From that moment on, the old eunuch stopped probing.

The commander was just a commander, but the old eunuch was the emperor's confidant. The leadership of the team was always in the hands of the old eunuch, who rarely gave orders. If the old eunuch didn't let everyone attack, no one would dare to.

"Lone Wolf, the royal family has never wanted to be your enemy," the old eunuch said, causing the commander and several imperial guards to tremble. What did this mean? Were they acting on their own? But the commander asked himself, everything he had done was for the royal family, was there something he didn't know about? In an instant, the commander was covered in cold sweat.

"If anyone asks about the royal family's trip this time, you can tell them the truth," the old eunuch continued, but his tone was completely different from the commander's, making the commander even more confused.

Wang Sheng stood not far away, staring straight into the old eunuch's eyes. The old eunuch also looked directly at Wang Sheng without any guilt. Finally, Wang Sheng nodded slightly.

Seeing Wang Sheng nod, the old eunuch breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had let go of something, but he didn't say anything, as if he had just experienced a difficult war.

"The royal family's current position is very awkward, have you never thought about changing it?" Wang Sheng looked at the old eunuch's hunched figure and suddenly felt a move in his heart, blurting out.

"How to change it?" The old eunuch was stunned, seemingly not expecting Wang Sheng to talk to him about this. He raised his head and frowned, asking. At the same time, he waved his hand, telling the commander and the imperial guards to retreat behind him, making sure Wang Sheng didn't feel threatened.

"How about the Son of Heaven enfeoffing the lords?" Wang Sheng replied casually.

"What do you mean?" The old eunuch had never heard of such a thing, and he hurriedly asked.

Wang Sheng didn't hide anything, he had started the topic anyway. He briefly explained the system of the Son of Heaven enfeoffing the lords during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. To be honest, Wang Sheng didn't explain it in much detail, but the old eunuch listened very carefully, and the more he listened, the more excited he became, his whole body trembling.

After the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty in ancient China on Earth, it almost occupied the entire world by enfeoffing vassal states. Wang Sheng didn't know this history in great detail, but he knew at least some of it. Moreover, Wang Sheng wasn't mainly talking about history, but about the political system of this enfeoffment.

Anyway, by the time of the Warring States period, the Son of Heaven's position was no better than the current royal family, but after all, he had the title of Son of Heaven, which was the righteousness! Later, during the Three Kingdoms period, wasn't Cao Cao's most powerful move "holding the Son of Heaven to command the lords"?

If the royal family could win the position of Son of Heaven, then many things would be much easier. At least the royal family wouldn't be so awkwardly trapped in a small corner of the capital. Although it wouldn't change much in essence, it would sound much better!

Wang Sheng wasn't thinking about how to help the royal family expand its power, but wanted the royal family to restrain the other aristocratic families, which would be beneficial to Wang Sheng's future actions. So Wang Sheng saw that the old eunuch was quite agreeable and took the opportunity to say it. As long as the royal family took the lead in making trouble, there would be a period of time for the forces to compete, which would be convenient for Wang Sheng to act.

But these words sounded like thunder in the old eunuch's ears. The royal family's position had always been awkward, but once it became the Son of Heaven recognized by all the lords in the world, its position would be completely different. There were too many things that could be done, so much so that the old eunuch couldn't think it through for a while and had to ask Wang Sheng for help.

"What are so many scholars in the capital doing, just sitting around?" Wang Sheng wouldn't rack his brains and get himself into trouble, so he directly pushed the problem to those scholars who were also trying to gain a sense of existence: "Let them come up with a whole set of rituals and study them slowly!"

The old eunuch thought about it, and it was true. When it came to making rules, those scholars were better than anyone else, and they would definitely be able to come up with a set of grand rituals that were justified and well-founded, and everyone would be full of energy, so there was no need to use them for nothing.

"I have been taught today, and I can't come up with any great gifts to thank you here, so I can only owe it to you first, please bear with me!" The old eunuch stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Sheng. Although it wasn't a kneeling bow, it really startled everyone in the imperial guard to see the old eunuch perform this salute.

That wasn't the end of it. As he bowed, the old eunuch moved like lightning. In a flash, the commander, who had just had ulterior motives, stiffened, and the next moment, his head flew straight up, landing not far in front of Wang Sheng.

"He had murderous intentions towards you, which is rebellious, so I killed him for you. In the future, whenever you come to the capital, the Son of Heaven will definitely welcome you!" The old eunuch moved quickly and directly put the title of Son of Heaven on the emperor's head.
