In the world of "Covering the Sky": An Analysis of the Ancient Sacred Body at the Start

"Your Majesty, may I return to my residence first? I wish to bid farewell to my family..."

"Granted!"

After returning to the Fan residence, Fan Jian truthfully told his family about how the eldest prince had besieged the capital and how he had been ordered to go out of the city to negotiate with the eldest prince.

"What? His Majesty is sending you, Father, out of the city to negotiate with the First Prince? Isn't that sending you to your death?"

Upon hearing Fan Jian say that he wanted to go out of the city to negotiate, Fan Xian immediately became anxious. Although it is not permissible to kill envoys when two countries are at war, who knows if the eldest prince will abide by the rules?

Fan Xian had not forgotten that his father, Fan Jian, was the number one treacherous minister on the proclamation against the traitor.

"Do you think I wanted to go? But His Majesty specifically requested me to go; what could I do?"

"Since Father insists on going, then let me go with him! I also want to take this opportunity to meet the First Prince and confirm some things."

Thinking of that proclamation against the corrupt officials who were supposed to purge the emperor's inner circle, Fan Xian suspected that the eldest prince might also be a time traveler.

"No!"

Fan Jian refused without hesitation. He didn't even plan to bring the Tiger Guards, so how could he possibly bring Fan Xian?

After all, the eldest prince is a grandmaster, and if you want to kill him, no matter how many people he brings, it won't make a difference.

"It doesn't matter if my father disagrees. I can still sneak out of the city myself after he leaves..."

Fan Xian's greatest source of confidence is his Uncle Wu Zhu. Wu Zhu is capable of contending with Grandmasters, and even if he is no match for the First Prince, he can at least ensure their safe retreat.

"Fine, since you insist on going, then go! Remember to bring Wu Zhu along."

Fan Jian knew Fan Xian's temper well. Since he couldn't stop him, he might as well bring him along. It would be more reassuring to have him under his watchful eye.

"Go and prepare! We have to depart in half an hour. His Majesty only gave me half an hour to return home and say goodbye to my family..."

"Should we thank him?"

Fan Xian's tone was slightly sarcastic. Emperor Qing's decision to send Fan Jian out of the city to negotiate clearly displeased Fan Xian.

"Be careful what you say!"

Although Fan Jian was also very unhappy, how could a subject criticize the emperor behind his back?

Fan Xian really wanted to complain, but he held back in the end. The idea of ​​imperial power was deeply ingrained in this world, and no matter what he said, his father would not listen.

……

"Your Highness, Fan Jian, the Vice Minister of Revenue, along with his son Fan Xian, are requesting an audience..."

"Bring them in!"

Yu Yi was not surprised that Emperor Qing sent someone to negotiate with him, but he did not expect it to be Fan Jian.

"Greetings, Your Highness..."

Soon, soldiers led Fan Jian and his son, along with a blindfolded young man in black, into the camp.

The blindfolded young man in black was none other than Wu Zhu, a highly intelligent robot whose combat power was comparable to that of a Grandmaster.

"Lord Fan, I wrote to you a letter, and you haven't replied for so long. Could it be that you've finally come to your senses and are planning to abandon the darkness and join my side?"

Faced with Yu Yi's teasing, Fan Jian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, as if the two of them were secretly colluding.

"Ahem, Your Highness is too kind. This humble subject is here on His Majesty's orders to negotiate with Your Highness, hoping that Your Highness will prioritize the overall situation and cease hostilities..."

"His Majesty promises to immediately depose the Crown Prince and establish Your Highness as the heir apparent. After His Majesty's passing, Your Highness can rightfully inherit the throne..."

"Tsk tsk, making such a big promise? Go back and tell Emperor Qing that I will seriously consider it."

Yu Yi sneered. Emperor Qing was really trying to take advantage of him. He was clearly planning to appease him first and then find an opportunity to make a move against him.

However, Yu Yi also wanted to buy time, as a forced attack on the city would result in too many casualties. He was waiting for Chen Pingping and the Ye family to cooperate from the outside and open the city gates for him.

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger..."

At this moment, Fan Xian suddenly spoke up, saying something inexplicable that only Yu Yi could understand.

"No need to test it anymore, it's just what you think. But what era are we living in? Your code is outdated. Remember to use a different one next time."

"Lord Fan, you may leave now. Fan Xian and I have something to discuss, and it's not convenient for you to listen. If you're worried, you can let him stay."

Yu Yi pointed at Wu Zhu, knowing that Fan Jian wouldn't feel at ease if Wu Zhu didn't stay.

"Father, you should go back first! Don't worry, with Uncle Wuzhu here, I'll be fine."

Seeing that Fan Xian also said so, Fan Jian had no choice but to leave. Fan Jian knew Wu Zhu's strength, and with Wu Zhu protecting him, Fan Xian's safety was not a concern.

"Uncle Wuzhu, why don't you wait outside the tent? I'd like to speak with His Highness alone."

"Call me if you need anything!"

Wu Zhu said coldly, then turned and walked out without any hesitation.

"Ahem, may I ask your name, fellow villager? My name before I transmigrated was Fan Shen, from Yuncheng, Shanxi Province..."

"My real name is Yu Yi, and my ancestral home is Hunan Province, but I'm different from you; this is my second time transmigrating..."

Yu Yi naturally knew that the world of Joy of Life was Earth after a nuclear explosion, and that Fan Xian had not traveled through time, but Yu Yi was too lazy to waste words explaining.

The reason he told Fan Xian all this was to win him over. Fan Xian couldn't stay in the world of Joy of Life for long and needed someone to help him keep an eye on the Qing Kingdom.

Otherwise, if he were to be usurped as soon as he returned to the world of Shrouding the Heavens, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?

The cost of traveling through time is very high, more than 10,000 energy points per trip, so Yu Yi can't just come back all the time.

Most importantly, Yu Yi needs a trustworthy person who can understand his thoughts and help him spread his faith and collect incense offerings in the world of Joy of Life.

Fan Xian is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. He is a time traveler and does not have a great desire for power, otherwise he would have become the emperor himself in the original work.

"Brother Yu, this is your second time traveling through time? What world did you travel to the first time?"

Regardless of their ages in their previous lives, Yu Yi is older than Fan Xian in this life. To get closer to him, Fan Xian directly started calling him "brother".

"Did you enjoy reading novels before you transmigrated?"

Yu Yi's answer was irrelevant. Explaining the situation in the world of "Covering the Sky" was complicated. If Fan Xian had read the novel, he wouldn't need to waste his breath.

Of course, this is on the premise that the previous civilization in the world of Joy of Life had the novel Shrouding the Heavens.

"Brother Yu, to be honest, before I transmigrated, I had a strange illness that confined me to a hospital bed. My only form of entertainment was reading novels and watching anime."

Yu Yi thought back for a moment and realized that it did seem to have been mentioned in the novel, something called myasthenia gravis.

"Have you read a novel called 'Covering the Sky'? The first world I transmigrated to was 'Covering the Sky,' a bizarre and fantastical world..."

"Covering the Sky? Is it that world where one ascends to heaven, sings as one walks, and can cover the sky with a flick of the finger?"

Fan Xian stared wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous. He had naturally read the novel "Covering the Sky," and he still vividly remembered Ye Tiandi's words about suppressing all enemies.

"So... Brother Yu, you're not a grandmaster at all? You're practicing the Heaven-Covering Technique?"

"Hmm, he's only at the Life Spring Realm; he can barely take on a few dozen Grandmasters..."

Yu Yi nodded slightly. Since he had decided to win over Fan Xian and have him help guard the Qing Kingdom and spread the faith, there were some things he couldn't hide from him.

"Brother Yu, do you need any more accessories for your legs?"
