Chapter 614 Those who bully the people of our great Han Dynasty, though separated by years, shall be
"To be honest, Li Er, I think you are overthinking it."
"Does someone like Yang Guang even deserve to complete a celestial being's hellish challenge?"
"Let alone those mere three people, even if all ten of them went, they might not even have a one or two out of ten chance!"
Ying Zheng simply smiled in response to Li Er's concerns.
He acknowledged that Li Er had the ability to be a wise and benevolent ruler throughout the ages, a fact recognized by the immortals.
Even the most enlightened rulers throughout history are not omnipotent.
This is a hellish challenge. Let alone him in his youth, even if all ten wise rulers on the list of immortals participated at the same time, they might not be able to complete it!
"Sigh, although I don't want to admit it, it seems to be the truth."
"That unfilial son has limited abilities and will probably miss this opportunity."
After a brief moment of resentment, Yang Jian sighed helplessly.
No one knows a son better than his father. Although Yang Guang had been playing the role for so long, his father could still see his mediocre abilities.
It was only because Yang Yong went too far that he would never have bestowed the position of crown prince upon Yang Guang.
"Father, can you have some faith in me?"
"What if I manage to complete this hellish challenge? Wouldn't that make my Great Sui Dynasty famous throughout the world?"
Yang Guang wanted to cry but had no tears.
These people's words have practically sealed his fate.
Putting everything else aside, the deduction of a hundred-year lifespan is enough to make him die several times over!
"To be honest, I both hope you can accomplish it and don't really want you to."
"The reason for the celestial curtain descending is not that important to me. After all, I have not been able to participate in the challenge of the immortals even once, and I have not received any reward yet."
"It would be such a pity if the sky were to disappear like this."
"So, you unfilial son, I'll have to make you suffer a little!"
"Don't worry, as compensation, since you haven't ascended the throne yet, I will reserve a leisurely position for you as a prince."
Yang Guang: “…”
Good heavens, now they don't even trust their own fathers anymore!
“The three of you, I know that you mostly wanted to see me make a fool of myself, which is why you agreed to participate in the challenge with me.”
"But now, the opportunity to make a name for ourselves for all time is right in front of us. Do you want to see me make a fool of myself, or do you want to achieve this momentous feat?"
Since he couldn't rely on the others in the sky for advice, he could only place his last hope on the three people in front of him.
Li Er and Li Jing exchanged a glance.
They could both see the struggle in each other's eyes.
They certainly hoped to complete this hellish challenge themselves.
For them, this is absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Once you miss it, it's gone forever!
"We will naturally do our best to complete this challenge, but the immortal has not revealed any details about the challenge. We dare not speak too confidently. We can only say that we will deal with whatever comes our way."
After thinking for a moment, Li Er spoke.
"The only thing we can see now is that the immortals have given us a choice in this challenge."
"choose?"
Yang Guang looked at the crimson gold characters still displayed on the sky with some confusion.
No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see any choice in it.
"What choice? Shimin, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"You read that right. The immortal has given two completely different choices, but if nothing unexpected happens, no matter which one you choose, it will be hellish difficulty."
Li Er hesitated for a moment, then honestly began to explain.
He also wanted to complete this challenge himself, and if he wanted to complete it, then at least no one could hold him back.
"The first option, as the challenge states, is to do nothing and simply try to survive until a certain time comes."
"If you want to ensure that you can't change anything, then you can't participate in anything, you can't save people, you can't kill people, you can't expand your power, and you can't attract the attention of any power."
Only by not changing anything and waiting for that time to come can we ensure that the challenge is completed.
"How can this be!"
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Guang exclaimed in surprise.
Without saving lives, killing people, expanding one's influence, or even attracting attention, one cannot achieve this.
This means that the four of them have to find their own way to survive in the chaos of war as ordinary people.
But in chaotic times, ordinary people are the easiest to die!
Ordinary people who do nothing are more likely to become cannon fodder in a certain sense.
“That’s right, it’s almost impossible. After all, wherever there are people, there will be interactions, and things can change unexpectedly.”
"So for us, the second option is more suitable."
"Go with the flow!"
"Under such circumstances, no one could reverse the decline and restore the Central Plains except Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Gaozu of Han, me, and even Zhu Yuanzhang."
"Anyone capable of doing this will undoubtedly be an unprecedented hero!"
"As long as we can discern the general trend and assist it accordingly, we may be able to complete the challenge!"
Although Li Er also had great ambitions when he was young.
But he is also well aware of his own limitations.
Putting aside everything else, the fact that the immortals gave him such a hellish evaluation is far beyond his capabilities.
Only by going with the flow can we possibly make the best choice to complete this challenge!
"Well……"
"Listen to you!"
"Once we enter the challenge, I will follow your lead in everything, Shimin!"
After only a moment's hesitation, Yang Guang made the right choice.
what?
The Emperor's Dignity?
How much is that thing worth? Is it even worth anything if it's alive?
If you fail to complete the challenge, the punishment will be deadly!
Yang Jian: "..."
"Although I know that this is the best choice for this unfilial son, I still can't help but want to curse when I actually see it."
"You bastard, that's the culprit who overthrew the Sui Dynasty!"
"You freaking follow his every word? Are you out of your mind?!"
Even if you know that this choice is right, you can't say it out loud!
And they said it so openly, in front of so many people!
"I……"
Just as Yang Guang was about to retort, his vision suddenly blurred, and when he could see everything clearly again, the sky had already disappeared.
Instead, in the distance stood a group of strangely dressed, blond-haired, blue-eyed people swaggering around.
Is the challenge about to begin?
After a moment of surprise, I was immediately filled with tension and panic.
And so it began, before he was even mentally prepared!
"Don't be afraid. Although we are here to take on this challenge with our own physical strength, our clothes and other items have been changed so that we won't attract attention."
"As for those people, just pretend you didn't see them. Don't make any decisions until you've found out the situation!"
Li Er's voice immediately put him at ease.
At this moment, Yang Guang also fully realized his own mediocrity.
……
"They've already started?"
"As expected, a challenge of hellish difficulty is extraordinary; there wasn't even a hint of it."
"In that case, Xiang Ji, let's begin as well."
"This might be the last challenge, so don't leave yourself with any regrets."
"Those who bully the people of our great Han Dynasty, though separated by a thousand years, shall be punished no matter how far away they are!"
