"No...no...that's not right...that's not right! The so-called 'Way of Heaven' and 'Fate' are just appearances! The true 'Way' should be chosen by the living beings themselves! Choosing the path that one truly desires in one's heart is the true transcendence, the true freedom...The 'Way' I pursue...is...the 'Way of Transcendence', the 'Way of Freedom', and even the 'Way' within the 'Way' that transcends everything...There are fifty great ways, forty-nine of which are derived from Heaven, and only I can escape one of them!"

At this moment, the hall was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly. However, Su Chen's mind was like a vast ocean, with thousands of thoughts surging endlessly. At this moment, time seemed to have lost its original meaning, and as his thoughts continued to surge, a clearer and clearer path gradually emerged in his mind.

"That's right, my choice is my 'Tao', my 'road'... Perhaps, in the process of choosing, I will be disturbed and influenced by various factors, but the final decision is still made by the 'living being' itself... Only by sticking to my original intention can I reach the end and gain true 'freedom' and 'transcendence'... At the same time, if things develop according to the 'established' script, then there is no doubt that I will definitely choose to lead the battle myself without hesitation, and fight to the end with all my strength for 'Tai'an' and the so-called 'mission'... However, is this really the best choice? The answer is no! If I act in this way, the casualties will be too high, and it is not safe enough, and it is completely inconsistent with my personality... In fact, to be honest, I am a bit lazy... Oh, no... To be precise, I should pursue stability! For those things that can be controlled and completed smoothly behind the scenes, why should I expose myself to everyone? Therefore... why not do this..."

After a fierce ideological struggle, the immature idea in Su Chen's mind gradually became clear. He sat there, tapping the couch under him with his right index finger, making a rhythmic sound. After a while, he finally spoke:

"Now the overall situation has been decided, but the follow-up still depends on you ministers. As for the hidden dangers brought by the four major families, I decided to establish the 'Xuanhuang Palace' to integrate and unify all forces in the country... The rest of the matters will be left to you to handle!"

His voice was not loud, but it carried a kind of majesty that could not be questioned, which made everyone present feel awed. Although this decision was somewhat unexpected, after careful consideration, it was the only choice to solve the problem at present. Otherwise, once the mid-to-high-end combat power or the masters of the "fighting master" intervened in the war of ordinary soldiers, it would inevitably lead to the destruction of lives and bloodshed. Therefore, all the ministers, including "Su Zhenguo" and "Li Yuehua", nodded one after another, expressing their willingness to fully support Su Chen's decision.

After a heated discussion among the ministers, the scene became extremely tense for a while, but in the end it was the "Blood Eye Emperor" Su Zhenguo who made the final decision and decided to divide the action plan into three steps.

The first step was to give General Wu Ganming full responsibility for commanding the 150,000 vanguard troops, and have them set up camp about 500 miles in front of the Tianwu imperial capital, and use this precious time to build a certain scale of attack and defense fortifications. At the same time, they had to pretend to attack, but in fact they had to steadily adopt a defensive strategy to confuse the enemy and attract their full attention, so as to make full preparations for a series of arrangements later.

The second step of the plan was for Generals Xu Sanduo and Li Xiaodao to lead 100,000 elite soldiers each, divided into the left and right wings, and set up camp about 50 miles behind the Vanguard Army. This arrangement could ensure that the front army could be quickly supported and provided timely and effective assistance when needed; it was also conducive to quickly mobilizing troops at critical moments to provide strong support to the front.

As for the most important third step, the remaining 300,000 or 400,000 soldiers will be handed over to General "Monkey" to lead. Their mission is to defend the "Taian" base camp in the rear, ensure the smooth supply of materials to the front line, and maintain stability and order in the rear. Only by stabilizing the rear can the soldiers in the front have no worries and devote themselves to the battle wholeheartedly.

Of course, the reason for making such an arrangement was entirely because of Su Chen's reminder. If expressed in terms of what Su Chen said, it would be like this:

"I can choose not to 'strike' you, but at the same time... I will definitely not allow you the opportunity to develop peacefully and accumulate strength... If you want to destroy a huge 'empire', you must first plunge it into 'chaos' and 'turmoil', and then make it completely 'crazy', and in the end... what awaits it... is only destruction!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell silent, and then everyone looked at each other, but they couldn't hide the surprise and joy on their faces, as if they couldn't believe what they just heard. However, this silence only lasted for a moment, and then there was a tsunami of shouts and cheers, one wave higher than the other, resounding throughout the hall.

Even Su Zhenguo and Li Yuehua, who were sitting in high positions, could not help but be moved. Their originally serious and calm faces now added a little bit of subtle excitement and excitement. Their hands were shaking slightly, and they slowly clapped their hands. While cheering softly, their eyes also flashed with a gratified light, which was a kind of "pride" and "emotion" of seeing a young eagle soaring into the sky.
