Chapter 239 What I saw in Chang’an (1)

Even though he knew that this was Fang Chang's provocation, Cheng Kai was still angry.

He really wanted Fang Chang to go to Chang'an City to pick something up.

He knew that with Fang Chang's ability, it would not be easy to provoke someone.

When Fang Chang couldn't solve it, he would make a grand appearance to clean up Fang Chang's mess, and let him see what it means to be simple in the emperor's heart!

But in the end Cheng Kai endured it.

His friendship with Her Majesty the Queen cannot be considered serious or trivial. After all, ten years of companionship can only be regarded as a short part of the long years of a practitioner.

It can be said that one point is used and one point is lost.

Especially when he had some guesses about Her Majesty the Queen's true identity, he didn't want to waste this affection on fighting with Fang Chang.

Now he is the ancestor of the Cheng family and Dongdong's grandfather.

When Fang Chang is unlucky in the future, he will have to use this affection to gain him a favor.

As for why he fell from a position of real power to a noble and unorganized official with no rank, it was naturally because he voluntarily abdicated the throne to make way for others.

In the past, Jindan could occupy the backbone of Chang'an, and the Nascent Soul realm was the hidden boss, controlling the situation in the capital.

But since the birth of Her Majesty the Queen, another world has provided her with talent resources.

Originally, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty wanted to use political means to suppress His Majesty. After all, the Tang Dynasty was vast and could not be managed by one person. This was not something that could only be accomplished by a high level of cultivation.

The reason why people who are high up above can stay high up above without stepping on the dust is just because of the countless living beings below who are driven by them.

Therefore, those at the top occasionally need to consider the will of the bottom.

However, this idea was only realized for a short time.

In the early stage, he, the crown prince, killed all the remnants of his party in Tiance Mansion and used violent and bloody methods to clear away all discordant voices for His Majesty.

After the changes in the sky, His Majesty opened up a world and had the support of talents with resources from one world.

They are all human beings who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years. When it comes to government affairs and military force, they are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The Dukes of Gungun who are able to stand in the court today started with a Nascent Soul cultivation level. If their cultivation level is low, they may not be able to withstand even a look from others.

How could such an official have the qualifications to stand in the court and have a verbal spat with others?

He is also included.

Tiance Mansion was once a violent institution left over from the founder of the country, but Her Majesty the Queen obviously has her own organizational structure, and the two have many overlapping powers.

Therefore, in order not to make things difficult for His Majesty, he asked to merge with Tiance Mansion and resigned from the post of Chief Historian.

Fortunately, His Majesty did not forget him, and specially sent him to the Splendid Realm, and piled up all kinds of resources as if they were free of charge.

But after all, his potential is limited. Thousands of years have passed before he can break through to the state of becoming a god.

He didn't want to waste time in the Splendid World, so he asked for orders to return.

After returning to the court, the Queen promoted him to the rank of Guanglu Doctor.

Everyone in the court knew that he and His Majesty had a relationship when they were young, and now they went to the palace from time to time to play chess and drink tea with His Majesty, and most of them were willing to give him face.

However, Cheng Kai did not confide all these words to Fang Chang.

After all, his relationship with Fang Chang hasn't reached this point yet.

If it weren't for the fact that Fang Chang was the only husband of his remaining granddaughter, he would have suppressed him in a minute.

So he picked out some unimportant things and said them.

"...All in all, I still have some respect in this huge city of Chang'an, but you kid, please don't cause any trouble for me.

For Wanqing's sake, I'll help you with the little things, but you can handle the big things yourself.

If you die, I will ask Your Majesty to send me to retrieve Wanqing.

With my current status, I won’t marry Wanqing to a prince, but it’s not difficult to find a suitable husband.”

Now it was Fang Chang's turn to be speechless.

The emotional old man is looking forward to his death.

When I went to Beijing alone, I spoke so righteously and trusted him, as if an old man was trusting me.

Now that I have gained my identity, I start to dislike him again.

Sure enough, men are fickle.

The old man is no exception.

So Fang Chang quickly ignored the topic and gave up this lose-lose approach.

"Ahem, um...grandpa, grandson-in-law still has a question."

Fang Chang's attitude became respectful.

Seeing Fang Chang's change of expression, Cheng Kai was very satisfied.

"Just ask."

"Grandpa, you just said that you have lived in the Splendid World for a thousand years. It stands to reason that a thousand years is enough for you to integrate into that world ten or eight times. Why are you willing to come back?"

This is also what Fang Chang is worried about.

Time is the most elusive thing.

He and Li Hu are both under half a hundred years old, and they are regarded as newbies among practitioners. If they stayed in another world for a hundred years or even longer.

Then it is difficult for him to guarantee that he will still remember the current people and things.

This remembering does not refer to memory, but a sense of identity.

It's just like the close classmates in elementary school who were so close that they had to cut off the chicken heads and burn the yellow paper to become sworn friends.

We hadn’t seen each other for ten years. We met again after returning from college. After exchanging names, there was only an awkward nod.

Cheng Kai has been here for a thousand years, but in his eyes, his granddaughter, whom he has been with for more than ten years, seems to be more important.

One thousand years is enough time for one hundred and eight generations.

Hearing this, Cheng Kai showed a look of satisfaction.

"It seems that you are not useless and can still consider this issue."

Fang Chang: "..."

Forget it, don't argue with the old man.

Cheng Kai's eyes flashed with memories, and he muttered for a moment before saying:

"Have you ever seen illusions? The kind of illusions that are fake and real."

Fang Chang made a listening position.

Cheng Kai continued: "When you enter the Splendid World, it's like going to an illusionary world. You are you, but you are not you. Everything there is real but also fake.

There you will gain another identity. After experiencing thousands of years in the Splendid World, sometimes I even forget my own identity.

Until I successfully broke through to the state of becoming a god, those dusty memories came flooding back. On the contrary, thousands of years of practice seemed particularly weak in front of those real and heavy memories.

As the saying goes, whoever wakes up first from a big dream will know who I am today.

After I understood my identity, everything in the Splendid World became like floating clouds to me.

Now that I think about it, I can hardly remember what happened to me in the Splendid World. It was just like other people's lives.

But the realm of cultivation is real and true.

besides……"

Cheng Kai seemed to have thought of something and said:

"The time spent there will be clearly reflected in your longevity. Those thousand years are blurry to me, but I am indeed over a thousand years old now."

Fang Chang seemed to think of something and swallowed secretly.

Projection to the heavens or the arrival of players?

They all come to a new world, they all have different time flow rates, and their game experience cannot interfere with reality.

It's like he is a swordsman in the game, but in reality he is still an otaku.

The highlight moments in the game will not have much impact on his real-life character.

So when he first traveled through time, he did not inherit the decisiveness of the Sword Immortal profession, but instead had the wretchedness and caution of an otaku.

This is not the same thing.

So I left it here with him as a matryoshka doll.

Am I playing games in a game world?

Although the plane of immortals and demons is almost certainly a real world now.

It’s not that he looks down on people, it’s just that in reality, game plot planning cannot create such a perfect world background without bugs.
