Chapter 16 Am I the Tao?!
Attention to the evolution of Primordial Civilization is not confined to Lighthouse Country alone, Sun Never Sets, Japan, Korea, Divine Oil, bear-like countries, Austro-Hungarian, Rome, and other nations are also paying close attention.
Some aim to sabotage, others seek alliances, some wish to subsume "Dao" under their control...
In summary, all are harboring ulterior motives!
Yanhuang Empire.
Imperial Palace!
Inside Wenhua Palace!
The Emperor, Crown Prince, Left and Right Chancellors, Six Deputy Ministers, Great General, and others gather to discuss the issues concerning the Planet Master "Dao"!
Initiating discussions with thought-provoking insights is usually started by the Emperor.
"My beloved subjects, have you all seen the footage of the 'Legendary' Civilization evolving from the Dao?
This is the first 'Legendary' Civilization birthed by our Empire, whether it can evolve successfully, concerns our Empire's rise.
I feel that we should send someone to protect him, to prevent him from being persecuted by those with sinister intentions, leading to the failure of Primordial Civilization's evolution, and missing the opportunity for our rise!"
The Emperor generally views issues from the perspective of strategizing the overall situation and does not concern himself with trivial details.
"His Majesty is wise!"
The crowd agreed!
They too think that someone should now protect the Planet Master "Dao" to prevent persecution by those with malicious intents.
"Since everyone agrees, let us settle on this!"
Seeing no objections, the Emperor made a decision, saying:
"Great General, select the protectors from the Imperial Army!
My only requirement is, even if the planets of the Imperial Army shatter, the planet of 'Dao' must be secured!"
"Your servant obeys the decree!"
The Great General, with a stern expression, solemnly took the order.
"Vice Minister of Criminal Justice, Assistant Minister of Rites!"
The Emperor continued his instructions.
"Your servants are present!"
The two officials stood up.
"You two, one will be responsible for screening external members entering the Empire, the other will be in charge of finding the real-world identity information of 'Dao'.
Remember, do not publicize this matter, proceed secretly!
I do not wish to cause public panic over this issue!"
The Emperor continued with his instructions.
"Your servants acknowledge the decree!"
The two officials responded.
"Crown Prince, Left and Right Chancellors, the three of you are responsible for comforting, leading, and other follow-up tasks!
The birth of Primordial Civilization will surely inspire some young people to follow the trend!
I fear they might deviate onto the wrong path, wasting their great talent..."
The Emperor, recalling scenes from the birth of foreign Legendary Civilizations, displayed a touch of worry on his majestic face.
The birth of a Legendary Civilization will trigger a series of chain reactions.
If not managed properly, it will likely cause a lot of talented youths to follow inappropriately, ultimately leading them astray...
As the Emperor of the Empire, he does not wish for such things to happen.
Thus, he delegated this important task to the Crown Prince and the Left and Right Chancellors!
"Your sons (Your servants) acknowledge the decree!"
The Crown Prince and the others respectfully took their orders.
"The rest, continue with your duties!"
After giving orders, the Emperor briefly interacted with everyone and then departed!
The Crown Prince and others also left one after another...
...
The one who triggered all this, hero Wang Yi, is unaware of the happenings outside!
After exhausting the Origin Power, he chose to log off.
Now, he is lying on the bed, leisurely snacking.
Then... fell straight to sleep!
...
The next day, in the morning.
At seven ten, Wang Yi came out of the washroom, just in time to see his father, Wang Qinghai, walking in with fried dough sticks and soy milk.
Before he could even speak, Wang Qinghai had already started talking!
"Wow? You woke up pretty early today! Here, I got you some fried dough sticks and soy milk, eat them while they're hot! They won't taste good once they're cold!"
"Uh-huh!"
Wang Yi took the fried dough sticks and soy milk, and went over to the dining table, eating eagerly. Then he asked:
"Dad, where's Mom? I haven't seen her!"
"She went to your grandma's..." Wang Qinghai said before entering the bathroom, "You don't need to clean up after eating, I'll take care of it later!"
"Got it!"
Wang Yi, munching on the dough, mumbled unclearly!
Five minutes later, Wang Yi dropped a line: "I'm off to school!" and then ran out the door, heading to school.
Arriving at school.
Wang Yi felt the atmosphere was a bit different, many people were discussing "Dao" and "Legendary Civilization," and it all sounded really baffling!
"What on earth are they talking about?!" Wang Yi shook his head, quickly crossed the playground, and went into the school building.
"Xiao Dong, have you heard about the live streaming of the Legendary Civilization? Someone from our Empire has evolved a Legendary Civilization!!"
"Are you brain-dead? Such explosive news, everyone in the world knows it, how could I not know?"
"Indeed!"
"You think how did the brain of Dao come up with such an evolutionary process? It's really non-human!"
"Well, what can be done, just do it like that! Didn't you see yesterday's live stream?"
"Indeed..."
Entering the school building, overhearing two janitorial students' conversation, Wang Yi couldn't help frowning:
"Why is it always Dao? He just evolved a Legendary Civilization, is it that surprising?"
In the classroom, the scene was similar to outside, everyone was discussing the "Dao" and the birth of "Legendary Civilization."
"Ah, what even is Dao? Why is it so awesome, just by acting, it evolved a Legendary Civilization?!!!"
"Dao is just Dao, weren't there text introductions during the live broadcast?"
"I think that name doesn't sound real, who would name themselves Dao!"
"Not real?! You really dare to think, the Awakening live broadcast isn't something you can change just by wanting to!"
"Indeed! But, I didn't understand how Dao evolved the Legendary Civilization?!"
"Nonsense, if you'd understood, wouldn't you have evolved a Super Civilization as well?!"
"Indeed..."
Wang Yi frowned, moved closer to them, and asked, "What are you guys talking about?"
"What else? Discussing the Primordial Civilization created by Dao!" A curly-haired student replied, not realizing Wang Yi had asked, thinking it was another student.
"Primordial Civilization!"
Wang Yi was startled, pondering: "Someone managed to evolve the 'Primordial Civilization' before me?"
No way!
People in this world couldn't possibly know about the Primordial Civilization unless someone, like him, was a transmigrator!~
Thinking this, Wang Yi asked further: "What's going on? Can you tell me?"
"What's going on?"
The curly-haired student answered impatiently: "Didn't you watch yesterday... um?" When he saw it was Wang Yi asking, he suddenly exclaimed: "Holy crap, Wang Yi is here! Quick, grab him, don't let him escape!"
Seeing curly-haired grabbing him, Wang Yi spoke annoyingly: "Why are you grabbing me?"
"Didn't you see yesterday's Awakening Space live broadcast?"
Curly-haired questioned.
"No! I played some ball after returning home yesterday, then just slept!" Wang Yi explained.
"I see. No wonder you didn't know!" Curly-haired realized, but his hand still didn't let go of Wang Yi's arm: "Yesterday, a guy named Dao, just like your Awakening on the Awakening Planet, evolved a Legendary Civilization, it was broadcasted globally in Awakening Space!
Tell me, what's your relationship with this Dao? Spill the beans!
If you don't spill everything, don't think I'll let you go!"
"Like my awakening?" Wang Yi's brow furrowed deeper, "Tell me what happened?!"
He had left the Awakening Space yesterday and had gone to sleep shortly after, not paying attention to what happened outside.
"Man, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?" Curly-haired's classmates also chimed in, expressing skepticism towards what Wang Yi had said.
The whole world knows about "Dao" and "Awakening Space," yet he doesn't, truly...
Unbelievable!
Nevertheless, they repeated the events of the previous day.
"So that's how it is!"
After listening, Wang Yi couldn't help muttering to himself: "Damn, I am Dao..."
...
