Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Chapter 1352: Chapter 27: Eighty Years Later (Part 2)

In this way, the outside army smoothly breaks through.

After completing all of this.

Lin Yuan did not join the army.

Instead, he walked quietly along the streets of the capital.

A vast spiritual power enveloped a radius of kilometers, every detail within his perception.

To kill the Da Feng emperor would end this time loop.

Lin Yuan easily inferred that the Da Feng emperor he killed.

Was not truly the Da Feng emperor, but most likely a puppet.

This puppet was definitely orchestrated by the real Da Feng emperor; otherwise, it couldn’t have fooled the court officials and numerous royal family members.

Without the real emperor’s cooperation and tacit approval, this scene could not have occurred.

Within the palace, so many Entering Dao Masters are not blind.

It was simply impossible for the emperor to be silently replaced.

That is to say.

The true Da Feng emperor is not dead.

The test of the time loop comes from the supreme rules.

Absolutely fair.

It stated that killing the Da Feng emperor would pass the test.

So it’s certain to pass the test.

There is no possibility of changing the target midway.

“Why did the emperor specially cultivate a puppet to replace himself?”

Lin Yuan quickly pondered.

Throughout the history of this world, there have indeed been instances of emperors cultivating puppets to attend court on their behalf.

But those usually happened during times of unrest, when the dynasty’s power was extremely weakened, and the emperor’s move was out of necessity to thwart numerous assassinations.

Before the rebellion, the Da Feng dynasty was at its peak; even if Lin Yuan personally attempted an assassination, based on conclusions from observing the timeline, it was highly likely to fail.

In such a situation, there was no need for the emperor to cultivate a puppet.

If he was absolutely safe, why cultivate a puppet to replace himself?

And even if cultivating a puppet, he wouldn’t be too far from the puppet, to control it at any time.

But Lin Yuan just explored the entire imperial palace, now with most of the capital virtually mapped out, without finding any trace of a second emperor.

Could it be that the real emperor is not in the capital?

To cultivate a puppet emperor just like himself, not keeping it under his tight grasp, and actively leaving the capital?

Isn’t he afraid the puppet will become the real emperor?

In fact.

According to the information that Lin Yuan gathered over the past four to fifty years.

This puppet emperor is no different from the true emperor.

Basically, he had complete control over the military and government of the Da Feng dynasty.

Otherwise, Lin Yuan wouldn’t have acted directly upon seeing this emperor.

“Did the real Da Feng emperor cultivate a puppet and then disappear, allowing the puppet to become the real emperor?”

Lin Yuan’s expression revealed a trace of oddness.

Could it be that the real Da Feng emperor didn’t want to be emperor?

But if he really didn’t want to be emperor, he could simply abdicate and choose an heir from the royal children, couldn’t he?

There’s no need to be so troublesome.

Granting power to a puppet emperor, once the puppet emperor holds power.

There will definitely be murderous intent towards the true emperor.

Unless…

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Unless the real Da Feng emperor had long known that someone wanted to kill him.

So he quietly did a ’shell escape’ leaving a nominal puppet to attract attention.

While he hid somewhere unknown.

“Could this be the real difficulty of the time loop test?”

“Did the other party know about my intention to kill the emperor a long time ago?”

Lin Yuan concluded that only this could explain the matter of the puppet emperor.

“Moreover, the real Da Feng emperor also deduced that he definitely couldn’t stand a chance against me, so there wasn’t even an intention to preemptively stop it?”

Lin Yuan speculated deeply.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a lack of resistance at all, just abandoning the throne and running away.

Abandoning the Da Feng throne, handing over the empire of ninety-nine provinces to a puppet?

Such courage, not everyone could have it.

“In the past four to fifty years, the Da Feng emperor’s daily life has been under my surveillance, so the puppet replacement definitely didn’t happen during these four to fifty years, which means it was earlier than that?”

“And cultivating such a puppet nearly identical to oneself cannot be done in a short time; it takes at least twenty to thirty years.”

“Four to fifty years, plus twenty to thirty years, eighty to a hundred years? Close to the time point I arrived in this time loop?”

Lin Yuan stopped walking.

A series of illusory texts flashed beneath his gaze.

It was the timeline of a particular person.

The owner of this timeline was the puppet emperor Lin Yuan killed.

This time loop world, has a near-tyrannical suppression on the rules of the Great Way.

Lin Yuan was far from being able just to recite the opponent’s name to establish causality and further observe their timeline.

Only by forming a significant causal connection with the other party voluntarily could one observe their timeline.

Like Lin Yuan’s relationship with Third Uncle allows him to observe Third Uncle’s future and past timelines actively.

When Lin Yuan took action to kill that puppet emperor, naturally a key causal line was established between them.

However, due to the time loop world’s influence, forming this causal line took time, and only now was it fully formed.

Lin Yuan also started observing the past timeline of the puppet emperor through causality.

Since the puppet emperor was dead, no future timeline existed.

What Lin Yuan was observing was the past timeline.

[A year ago, intelligence from the Tao Suppression Department revealed that the cause of the chaos across the ninety-nine provinces originated from the Black Wind Village in the Black Mountains, kill, these thieves should all be killed]

[Ten years ago, the new concubine taken into the palace recently, what delightful taste]
