Chapter 302.1 - I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

Lin Beifan’s thoughts began to diverge!

The Four Holy Beasts of Heaven and Earth claimed to be born from the luck of the world, as if they were a part of heaven and earth, with the duty to protect the world.

The reason they kill Supreme Grandmasters is that the fortune of a Supreme Grandmaster comes entirely from heaven and earth.

They are all invincible powerhouses of their time, having consumed too much of the world’s fortune along the way, such as spiritual energy, heavenly treasures, etc., which has led to an imbalance in the world.

Therefore, balance can be restored by killing them and allowing their fortune to return to heaven and earth.

Logically, it seems quite reasonable.

If this logic is correct, it explains why they haven’t come after him.

Because his strength doesn’t come from the fortune of heaven and earth, but from the Empire Sandbox.

He has never consumed the fortune of heaven and earth, never caused an imbalance in the world. He has also never shown the strength of a Supreme Grandmaster in front of others, so naturally, they wouldn’t know.

The more Lin Beifan thought about it, the closer he felt to the truth.

He felt secretly fortunate in his heart, glad that he had been patient and had not exposed his strength; otherwise, he would have been in danger.

However, this was just his speculation. The truth was not yet confirmed, so he decided to continue to be careful in the future.

When his strength surpasses theirs, then he can act freely!

“This is all I know about the four holy beasts,” Li Tiancheng smiled lightly.

“Although they are mysterious and powerful, they never interfere with the world! You are safe as long as you don’t break through to the supreme! In this world, how many can break through to the supreme? Even I don’t have the confidence to take that big step! So, let’s not trouble ourselves unnecessarily!”

“That’s true!” Lin Beifan forced a laugh.

You’re not troubled, but I am!

I thought I was invincible, but there are still four monsters looming over me, damn it!!!

I’ll have them stewed as soon as possible!

“Your Majesty, I have a second matter to discuss!” Li Tiancheng’s expression turned serious.

Lin Beifan was startled: “What matter?”

“Your Majesty, I would like to meet the master behind you. Please introduce me!”

“The master behind me?” Lin Beifan was confused.

There’s a master behind me? How come I don’t know that?

Li Tiancheng and his disciple looked at Lin Beifan’s bewildered expression and secretly praised him in their hearts for his convincing acting as if he really didn’t know!

If we hadn’t been prepared, we might have been fooled by you!

“Your Majesty, there’s no need to hide it from us anymore! We’ve known for a long time that there is a Great Grandmaster behind your Great Xia! Great Xia could not have developed so smoothly and steadily without his secret assistance!”

Li Tiancheng looked at Lin Beifan with piercing eyes as if he had seen right through him.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Zi Liuli said with a smile, “We’ve long known that there is a swordsmanship Great Grandmaster supporting you!”

“How did you come to this conclusion? Is there some kind of misunderstanding?” Lin Beifan said ambiguously.

Li Tiancheng and his disciple once again secretly praised him: Truly a cunning little fox!

No wonder he was able to develop Great Xia into a Super Empire!

“Your Majesty, do you remember the first time we met?” Zi Liuli asked.

“I do!”

Lin Beifan replied, “At that time, I personally led the campaign and had just conquered the Great Xue Dynasty. We met in the local military camp!”

“It was at that time, in your military camp, that I sensed the presence of a Great Grandmaster! Although it was fleeting, I caught it! Afterward, we learned through various pieces of information that the rise of your Great Xia was inseparable from a hidden swordsmanship senior!”

“He has never shown himself, but he has intervened several times when you faced crises, turning the tide! Thus, we naturally concluded that there is a Great Grandmaster behind you!”

“I see!” Lin Beifan thought to himself.

That night, he had just made a breakthrough to Great Grandmaster and hadn’t managed to conceal his aura in time, so he was discovered.

In fact, if the other party wasn’t a Grandmaster, if she hadn’t been so close, she would have definitely not noticed. But as fate would have it, such coincidences make for a good story.

The reasoning that followed naturally fell into place.

When he first took over Great Xia, the nation was weak and lacking in strong individuals, so he had to take matters into his own hands.

Relying on the Empire Sandbox, he could intervene without showing himself, which led others to mistakenly believe there was a hidden senior behind him.

With its influence spread across the world, The Demon Sect naturally managed to investigate this.

Thus, they concluded that there was a Great Grandmaster behind him.

At this point, many things made sense.

Why the Demon Sect was so dedicated in assisting Great Xia was entirely to curry favor with the Great Grandmaster behind him.

In an era dominated by Great Grandmasters, having one as a friend was a boon that many sought but could never obtain.

It could directly influence the world’s power dynamics!

At the very least, they wouldn’t lose when clashing with the Taoist Sect or Buddhist Sect!

“Your Majesty, rest assured, I have not told anyone else about this matter! Besides me, only my master knows,” Zi Liuli reassured Lin Beifan.

Li Tiancheng smiled and nodded, affirming the truth of the matter.
