The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1103: Chapters 1052-1053: Life Simulation – The Righteous King’s Calculations Chapter 1103: Chapters 1052-1053: Life Simulation – The Righteous King’s Calculations Sun Liang had a few Personal Guards stand watch outside the Royal Mansion, as he walked in alone, only to see the Righteous King who had been waiting for a while.

“Right General, please take a seat,” the Righteous King said to Sun Liang.

The Right General was the position that Sun Liang held within the Righteous King’s forces.

As a Rebel King, the Righteous King naturally had established a government system, and within the entire Righteous Army System, Sun Liang’s position as Right General was high-ranking, his authority within the top ten.

However, although the two were nominally in a superior-subordinate relationship, with Sun Liang having risen up to become a subordinate to the Righteous King, in reality, as Sun Liang’s status continued to rise and he gathered forces loyal to him, the dynamics shifted.

Especially once the Righteous King became aware of Sun Liang’s identity, he stopped treating him merely as a subordinate and began to engage with him more as a collaborator.

To have one’s subordinate become one’s partner is a change in status that many might find hard to accept, but for a hero like the Righteous King, it was nothing significant.

Even though the Righteous King treated him as a collaborator, Sun Liang maintained his original demeanor; his rise in status and background did not make him arrogant or overbearing. He remained as he was, which undoubtedly pleased the Righteous King even more.

After both were seated, only the maids served tea.

Despite his significant authority and extraordinary status, the Righteous King had not become completely corrupted by power and wealth. He did not fuss over protocol and was unaccustomed to being served by many attendants.

After gesturing for the maids to leave, the two exchanged a few pleasantries before the Righteous King stated his purpose.

“Right General, as of today, Da Ye is like a deer that has lost its way, and The Heroes are all in pursuit of it. I, this king, have been fortuitous enough to arrive at this juncture, commanding such a position, with a million armored men under my banner and countless experts at my disposal. Yet, I still lie awake at night, fraught with worry and unease,” the Righteous King’s smile gradually faded, replaced by a trace of sorrow.

He reminisced about the past in his words, spoke of the present to Sun Liang, and shared the various shortcomings, pressures, responsibilities, and worries that came with his position.

Facing his superior’s grievances, if it had been the Sun Liang of old, he would have been blunt and assertive, saying things like, “Having enjoyed the authority, you must naturally bear the responsibilities,” and so on.

But the Sun Liang of now was no longer the naive youngster, unaware of the ways of the world.

Since the Righteous King was voicing his troubles, Sun Liang went along with what he said, praising his hard work, expressing approval, saying that the other party was acting for a great cause, for the responsibility towards the people beneath Heaven and Earth, as a great hero, a magnanimous figure.

Of course, Sun Liang, honed by years of experience, probably understood the Righteous King’s intention when saying these words, but he played the fool, waiting for the Righteous King to state his objective on his own.

The two engaged in a tug of words, seemingly discussing unrelated matters, but both were well aware that they were probing each other, seeking out the other’s bottom lines and intentions.

Compared to the Righteous King, Sun Liang had no major demands or worries. Even if the Righteous King was more cunning than Sun Liang, the nature of their relationship dictated that he was in a reactive position.

Ultimately, it was the Righteous King who voiced his intent, “This king has come to understand the Right General’s background to some extent and knows you are a successor to the Shenxiao True Monarch, having inherited the teachings of the Shenxiao True Monarch, truly a Heaven’s Proud Son rarely seen among Heaven and Earth…”

As the Righteous King spoke, he couldn’t help but feel emotional. Although he had risen from a minor official to his current stature–defying fate and leaping through the dragon’s gate in many people’s eyes–compared to Sun Liang before him, he still fell short. At least, even if he were to fortunately emerge victorious in the end and establish a dynasty, he knew that calamities awaited him at the dynasty’s eventual decline.

However, the man before him, powerful and eminent in both strength and status, would have the backing of a pinnacle powerhouse of the Great Thousand Worlds in the future. He naturally wouldn’t need to worry about anything as long as he didn’t seek his own death; he could live securely without concerns.

People indeed have different destinies. The Righteous King suppressed his emotions and after praising Sun Liang, he continued, “This king has known the Right General for a long time, so I’ll just get straight to the point. I have heard of the great reputation of the Shenxiao True Monarch for many years and have long admired him. It’s just that I was once too insignificant to speak out. Now that I’ve established myself as a lord of a region and made a name for myself, I wish to be bold and ask the Right General to introduce me to the Shenxiao True Monarch.”

A powerhouse like the Shenxiao True Monarch, who stood at the summit of the Great Thousand Worlds, would only forge connections if one were deemed worthy.

Long before, the Righteous King had known of Sun Liang’s identity and understood that he could create a link with the Shenxiao True Monarch through him, but at that time, he refrained from speaking rashly.

Back then, the Righteous King knew he wasn’t worthy. Years ago, when there were countless Rebel Kings across the land and he was just one among many, with even the next day’s survival in question, how could he consider forming a connection with a pinnacle powerhouse?

As a hero who rose from insignificance, the Righteous King well understood that to gain the support of a powerful figure, one needed to prove one’s abilities and worth, because the more powerful the individual, the less likely they are to be swayed, especially someone like the Shenxiao True Monarch.

Thus, he waited, biding his time for the changing landscape and his own expansion, until the day he could qualify as one of the final victors in this changing of the dynasty.
