Chapter 396: 216. All earthly concerns are fulfilled, a mundane body dealing with the matters of deities (6.3K - Seeking Subscriptions)_3

But that was after everything had calmed down.

The heavy snow did not fall only on the Imperial Capital; the world was quiet everywhere, including the secluded residence of the Song dynasty’s imperial family.

At this time... Madam Tong, along with a few daughters-in-law and children similarly appointed as Spirit Servants by Song Cheng, were wrapping dumplings.

The air was filled with cooking smoke and the strong scent of the mortal world.

Besides the piercing cold of the snowflakes, the atmosphere was also filled with the smell of burning firewood.

Thousands of birds had ceased to fly, and all trails were wiped out by snow.

Aong Song Cheng’s offspring, there were some exceptional individuals; some were fishing in the icy river with bare arms despite the bitter cold, while others were at the perimeter, liaising with the higher echelons of the Yingui Association, keeping abreast of the outside situation...

As for Song Cheng, he and An Chenyu were sitting under the eaves, watching the snowfall.

Zhao Hua was busy with Ouyang Chuchu, arranging their secluded dwelling...

Song Cheng reached out to catch the falling snow, watching it melt in the palm of his hand.

Then he suddenly said, "Sister An, actually, you can come back with me to my True Self’s ocean. If you cultivate there, you should be able to do it faster."

An Chenyu smiled gently and shook her head.

After seeing all her family members becoming Ghostly Souls, and seeing how powerful Song Cheng had become, all her worries disappeared, and her face was often adorned with a smile.

"Why?"

"Besides cultivation, I want to continue controlling the dynasty. I want to be the one deciding everything for all dynasties in the future."

"This..."

"Do you know why, husband?"

"I do not."

An Chenyu slowly said, "The fist does not leave the hand, the song does not leave the mouth."

Song Cheng was startled for a moment, then immediately understood An Chenyu’s meaning.

The superhuman wisdom that comes with superhuman power is to use one’s superhuman strength... How ironic such a sentiment seemed!

But why?

Because there are very few beings that could be considered a superhuman’s enemy; a superhuman only needs to use their strength to solve problems.

However, if you are in a place where anyone could put you in deadly peril, then you must learn to rely on strategy, not power.

In terms of "strategy," Song Cheng had to admit that he had indeed regressed, or perhaps... he might never have been able to surpass Sister An or Hua.

And the reason Sister An wanted to be the power behind a piece of land, manipulating the succession of dynasties, was just to maintain her strategic wisdom.

"You are too strong now."

An Chenyu gently held Song Cheng’s hand, which was shaped like a tree leaf, and softly said, "So strong that there are some things... you might really overlook."

Deities do not concern themselves with the thoughts of ants.

But if you turned a deity into an ant, they might not even survive a day.

In our family, there must always be someone constantly maneuvering in this dark and treacherous human world, never forgetting."

With that, An Chenyu suddenly smiled broadly again, showing a rare playful charm.

"Besides, compared to boring cultivation, I also prefer this kind of life.

If it wasn’t for your insistence on my cultivating, I definitely wouldn’t have practiced."

Song Cheng looked at her and nodded gently.

He knew that as his own power increased, there were indeed many things that he might overlook.

Then, he began to recount all the things that he had encountered during this period to An Chenyu.

An Chenyu asked for details one by one, and after a long discussion, she thought for a moment and softly said, "Husband, although I can no longer understand your world, as long as I follow the principle of seeking benefits and avoiding harm, then I can offer some advice."

Song Cheng said, "It’s probably just the rivalry between True Spirits and Mourning Spirits."

An Chenyu said, "Have you ever considered, husband... that there might be a third party involved?"

Song Cheng shook his head; not that he forgot, but where would a third party come from?

An Chenyu said, "According to what you said, even though there are differences between True Spirits and Mourning Spirits, they are unified against outsiders and would not start a major conflict.

So why do you feel hostility from those people?

Why did Senior Shi of the Mysterious Clear Palace disappear from this land with a disciple of the Jianmu Palace four thousand years ago?"

"Disciple of Jianmu Palace?"

"If there were no disciples of Jianmu Palace, where would the ’Wood Spirit Evergreen Scripture’ come from?" An Chenyu spoke earnestly, "Then, why are they here? Why did they have a conflict and kill each other?"

Seeing Song Cheng in a daze, An Chenyu said, "Husband, you can call Hua over; two heads are better than one. Hua is different from me, not only does he scheme, but he has also led troops, so he might have different ideas."

Song Cheng nodded and called Zhao Hua over.

Upon hearing the situation, Zhao Hua said, "Big brother, this is clearly someone’s trap... oh, not someone’s, a deity’s.

What you currently see as the crux of the issue is the divergence in cultivation between Mourning Spirits and True Spirits, the conflict between the old and the young among the Masters of Mountains and Rivers.

But in fact, just from the small slice you can see, this conflict’s intensity... seems too intense.

In my view..."

His refined face held a chill for a moment, and his eyes narrowed sharply, "That Senior Shi who is said to be dead... there’s an issue."

Song Cheng:???

Zhao Hua immediately chuckled, the chill dispersing as he waved his hands, "Big brother, you asked for a brainstorm, so I analyzed it from my perspective. I think that Senior Shi is in the most convenient position to cause trouble.

He faked his death to avoid attention, yet he was still able to maintain his relationship with the Mysterious Clear Palace.

After all, you also said that the eldest disciple from Senior Jing’s lineage in Mysterious Clear Palace was raised by him, which shows his standing in the Mysterious Clear Palace.

And an invisible person is always more frightening than one in the open.

If you go back, you might want to ask about Senior Shi’s age four thousand years ago and his potential for cultivation.

If he was older and had average potential, then... brother, you might as well assume he’s not dead."

Song Cheng asked, "Then what would his purpose be in causing trouble?"

An Chenyu took over the conversation and said, "Husband, when a person betrays their original position, there are always only two possibilities.
