Book 4: Chapter 26: What Will You Say to Your Future Self?

What kind of plan took two lifetimes to carry out?

A chisel had been used to engrave the words that had been densely written on that gold board stroke by stroke.

First of all, the person who left these things behind wasnt certain that he would be reincarnated at all and even had doubts about the concept of a next life. As a result, he actually had more sophisticated and effective alternative methods to ensure that his plan was completed.

This gift package for his future self was just a joke. But this person was proficient in arithmancy, so when he saw this result, he decided to make some preparations.

This whole matter came about because he experienced quite the adventure during the current dynasty and ended up learning a method as a result of it.

His original intention, in modern terms, was that if you had an enemy powerful enough to be stronger than a country, then you needed enough time to win the final victory.

And this kind of time was often much longer than a single lifetime.

It was extremely difficult for human beings to do things when they couldnt see the results. For example, if you needed several hundred years to complete something, youd finally be able to see the results after a few thousand years.

But there were countless possibilities that might crop up during those centuries that could ruin your plans. Under such circumstances, youd have to rely on humans unchanging qualities as the cornerstone of all your plans.

And the one quality that human beings had that would never change with the passage of time was their voracious greed.

This person had that kind of an enemy, who would take a very long time to defeat. So, he came up with a plan to fight against this enemy by taking advantage of human greed. When this gold board was discovered, maybe his plan would have already succeeded or maybe it was still progressing.

So, the only way I would believe it was if I was told that the battlefield I was facing wasnt a frontal battlefield but just a part of countless skirmishes. If I didnt even see all the mysteries, then I really couldnt perceive all of Wang Zanghais magnificent work.

But even so, I had won all the battles on my battlefield and wasnt going to fight any others. I didnt have the time or ability to face a struggle of that level again.

I also didnt believe that there would be more complicated conspiracies like that, so I just ignored those two or three sentences from Jin Wantang that tried to overthrow my past.

I had experienced the real world, so at this stage, my experiences couldnt be overthrown just like that.

But there was just one problem during this whole incident that I was never able to solvewhether my Uncle Three was alive or dead. If he had died, then this whole affair should be closed. But if he didnt die, then what exactly was he doing? This was a problem that had secretly plagued my heart for years.

Did he have a reason for not reuniting with me?

Jin Wantang wasnt a fool either. After listening to Xia Wens words, he immediately realized that this story about a past life had to be a pretext, since it was too fantastical and lacked details. This person must have used this story as a pretext for laying the groundwork for his clever scheme. What he really wanted to talk about was the worlds second most valuable tomb.

But this man dared to say that Wang Zanghai's plan wasnt finished, which wasnt something that ordinary people would dare say.

So what did this Qi Yu want to do? Why did Uncle Three start training me to act like Qi Yu after he made that deduction about Xisha? Who did Uncle Three want to lie to? Did he want them to think that Qi Yu wasnt dead? Why did Qi Yu suddenly appear again and tell Jin Wantang about the worlds second most valuable tomb?

After their talk, Jin Wantang couldn't help himself and sent the news of Qi Yu's appearance directly to Xiao Hua. Then, he asked Xia Wen directly in person, "Do you know a person named Qi Yu? You two have a very similar posture."

Instead of acting surprised, Xia Wen just said, "Ah, I know him. Theres a reason we have the same posture. In fact, hes not a real person, just like me."

When Xia Wen said this, he glanced at Jin Wantang with a coy look in his eyes. As Jin Wantang broke out in a cold sweat, he suddenly felt that this Xia Wen was strange and abnormal. If he wasnt a real person, then what was he?
