Ye Yunsheng didn't hold anything back from Zhao Li, telling him everything she experienced within the Dragon Gate.
As she recounted her experiences, Zhao Li felt a strange sense of familiarity.
That method was like a cognitive crushing!
It was just as he had once imagined: if he could exceed the subject's cognition, pull them into an Illusion, make them live a fictional life, and then make them believe it was real and deeply trust that fictional life, then he could use this to create a false impression of rebirth.
Of course, that requirement was too stringent. Everyone's perception of the world is different. How difficult would it be to completely crush their cognition and construct a world with almost no flaws?
Although Zhao Li could bully some Little Guys, he couldn't do anything to a Dou Sheng. And one should know that at that time, Ye Yunsheng was a Dou Sheng expert, even a Seven-Star Dou Sheng!
To silently create such a nearly real illusory world, perhaps only a Dou Di could achieve it.
While Zhao Li exclaimed how awesome the Dou Di was, he also felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, that Dragon Emperor didn't twist the cognition within the Training. Otherwise, Ye Yunsheng's experience wouldn't just fail to bring her convenience; it could even cause her temperament to change drastically and lead to mental breakdown due to cognitive conflict!
And this was also the main reason why Zhao Li had this idea but didn't put it into practice. He was unwilling to casually toy with people's hearts.
"In any case, the result is good. After Yunsheng refines this Golden Core and then presides over the Great Li, there shouldn't be any accidents."
Zhao Li roughly estimated that the Pills he refined this time were of higher quality than the last one. Ye Yunsheng's current Realm was also higher than his own back then. After refining, she would most likely be able to directly break through to Nine Star.
"Let's do that. After Yunsheng breaks through, I should also go look for Yao Chen."
Zhao Li felt very uneasy about Yao Chen's sudden disappearance, which seemed fated. Just thinking about a person's destiny being predetermined made Zhao Li feel sad.
He had clearly changed many things. The Eastern Region was unified, the Northwestern Continent had Yun Shan passing down the Dao, Yao Chen regarded him as his teacher and even reached Half-Saint, walking the Route of Transcending to Saint. But even so, he still disappeared without a trace, just like in the original storyline. This made Zhao Li suspect something fishy was going on.
Some things, if you don't think about them, don't seem like much. But when you realize them later, you feel a sense of fear. If you don't get the truth, you always feel like something is stuck in your throat.
Zhao Li felt this way此刻. As the saying goes, a butterfly flapping its wings here can cause a great Wind there, but he had done quite a bit, yet it seemed nothing had changed.
If...
From the very beginning, it was destined that his efforts were completely useless, then the result would truly be despairing.
"I hope there aren't so many conspiracy theories in this world."
Zhao Li murmured softly, then flashed and disappeared into the Pocket World. The next moment, he appeared in the center of the Eastern Region, where the Great Li Imperial Palace was located.
"Uh, not here?"
Zhao Li didn't find her figure in the Grand Hall where Ye Yunsheng usually lived and cultivated. He couldn't help but be stunned and asked with some confusion:
"Is there still something that requires her personal attention? That shouldn't be the case."
Decades were enough for an Imperial Dynasty and a Kingdom to undergo tremendous changes. And when this Imperial Dynasty had military power above and merit below, the changes it could bring were immeasurable. Coincidentally, the Great Li possessed both.
Zhao Li and Ye Yunsheng's Cultivation Levels were unmatched in the Imperial Dynasty. Coupled with some "homework" he copied, which mobilized the enthusiasm of everyone in the Great Li, the Great Li had already changed its appearance over several decades. Moreover, the younger generation who grew up in this environment from a young age began to show their talents in this Kingdom, giving the Great Li an accelerated pace of transformation.
In this kind of environment, Zhao Li and Ye Yunsheng actually didn't have much to do. They only needed to ensure that the Great Li didn't go astray.
And in this world, without sufficient strength, wanting to change a Region like they did was as difficult as ascending to heaven! Therefore, they were even more relaxed.
"Hmph! I'd like to see who's so blind!"
A dangerous light flickered in Zhao Li's eyes. With a flip of his hand, a Jade Token appeared in his grasp. As Dou Qi was injected into it, it glowed and began to call Ye Yunsheng.
On the other side, Ye Yunsheng looked at the devastated Village before her, her expression gloomy. She asked in a cold voice:
"How many is this now?"
Hearing the chilling tone in her voice, the Prefectural Governor behind her, a Dou Venerate, felt his heart tremble and his legs shake.
But since Ye Yunsheng had asked, he dared not not answer. He could only steel himself and reply:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is the thirteenth Village in this Prefecture that has been destroyed due to disturbances caused by outsiders."
After a pause, he added:
"The perpetrators of the disturbance have been apprehended and are awaiting Public Trial!"
Ye Yunsheng felt frustrated hearing this answer, which she had heard several times now. This feeling was like being slapped in the face, only to receive an apology from the other party, and then being forced to forgive them. It was incredibly stifling.
But she knew that these officials couldn't be blamed for these matters. Just as she couldn't personally handle everything in such a vast Imperial Dynasty, they, managing a Prefecture, also couldn't be everywhere at once.
She wanted to come up with a foolproof plan, but even with her brows tightly furrowed, she still had no clue. Suddenly, she felt a vibration from her Storage Ring. With a thought, a thin, rectangular Jade Token appeared in her hand.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she eagerly connected the call, muttering in her heart:
If it's Zhao Li, he'll definitely have a way, right?
She had full confidence in Zhao Li. His ideas had all been tested by Time!
"Husband, you've come out of seclusion? I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Li had already appeared beside her.
When she took out the Jade Token, Zhao Li had locked onto the Space coordinates here and tore through Space to come over. This wasn't very difficult for him now.
Seeing Zhao Li, visible joy appeared on Ye Yunsheng's face. Then, a hint of grievance welled up in her heart, becoming increasingly difficult to suppress. The next moment, disregarding what others might think, she directly threw herself into Zhao Li's embrace.
Zhao Li felt the grievance in her heart. He gently patted her back. After she calmed down a bit, he asked:
"Has my Wife encountered some difficulty?"
As he spoke, he winked at the people beside Ye Yunsheng, signaling them to leave first.
In the Great Li Dynasty, let alone officials, even among the common people, most knew that the Imperial Advisor was more than just an Imperial Advisor. Seeing this, the few people wisely left.
Hearing Zhao Li's words, Ye Yunsheng could no longer suppress the grievance in her heart and poured it all out.
Some people exploited loopholes in the Decrees, feigning compliance while secretly defying her. Yet, bound by the Decrees, she couldn't do anything to them. Some people, over a small disagreement, would fight to the death and cause a huge commotion, requiring her to step in and handle it. And there were others who treated the Great Li Law as nothing, killing and plundering, then leaving freely. Even if they were apprehended and brought to justice afterward to comfort the souls of the deceased, it was merely self-consolation for those still living...
There were many, many other things that made her feel extremely wronged, yet bound by the law, she could only swallow them down.
The more Zhao Li listened, the more his face darkened, and anger churned in his heart
