He stopped cursing, his eyes became cold and dangerous:

"Since it's difficult to follow the original plan, let's change our strategy."

He walked towards Domitian step by step, his hoarse voice full of chill:

"From now on, don't worry about the quality of the offerings."

"And stop singling out people who saw that rubbish play."

"Just do it!"

Tiberius' voice became increasingly frantic, waving his hands and saying:

"Anyway, there are plenty of untouchables in Splenda. We can just randomly select targets."

"As long as we can achieve the goal of spreading panic quickly in the city, the type of sacrifice is irrelevant. We can make up for the lack of quality with quantity."

Domitian frowned upon hearing the decision.

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke cautiously:

"Your Highness, if you do this, it will easily attract the attention of those secret guards..."

"Furthermore, will significantly reducing the quality of the sacrifice have a negative impact on the final outcome?"

"After all, Priest Chris has previously emphasized that there are special requirements for the selection of sacrifices..."

However, before Domitian could finish his words, Tiberius rudely interrupted him:

"That's enough, Domitian, I am the prince!"

Tiberius waved his hand, and the madness in his eyes became even more intense:

"Chris has already said that when executing the plan, I can make some fine-tuning based on the actual situation."

He raised his head, his eyes flashing with a fanatical and morbid light:

"I believe fate is on our side. Perhaps the decision I'm making now is also guided by the great Lord of Destiny."

"The Supreme One wants us to speed up our progress, so he allowed Lucius to be so arrogant and become an obstacle to us..."

"Yes, all of this is carefully arranged by the Supreme!"

Tiberius became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had truly received guidance from the gods:

"We just need to follow the guidance of destiny."

At this point, Tiberius suddenly turned around and glared at Domitian fiercely:

"Your words just now displeased me, Domitian."

"How dare you question my wise decision?"

"Tell me, who are you loyal to, me or Chris?"

Facing Tiberius' threatening questioning, Domitian quickly lowered his head and spoke in a tone of fear and repentance:

"Your Highness, calm down! My loyalty is of course to you, the great future Emperor Tiberius!"

"What I just said was completely overthinking. Your decision must be correct!"

After hearing Domitian's statement, Tiberius' expression eased a little.

Alas, he is moody, irritable, and extremely sensitive, and will fly into a rage at the slightest doubt.

If such a person is not from a royal family, he will be kicked to death like a stray dog ​​on the roadside.

But Domitian still wanted to continue acting on the surface.

He looked up, his face full of loyalty and admiration:

"Your Highness's wisdom and foresight truly make me admire you wholeheartedly."

"You were able to quickly adjust your strategy and come up with such a brilliant solution in such a difficult situation. You truly are a natural born ruler."

"I believe that under your wise leadership, our great cause will surely succeed."

"Arrogant Lucius will soon learn who holds the true power."

Domitian's sweet talk obviously suited Tiberius's taste.

Hearing these flattering words, the expression on Tiberius's face gradually returned to normal, and the madness in his eyes also faded a lot.

"Very good, Domitian."

Tiberius nodded with satisfaction:

"You're right to think so."

"Follow the new plan. I want to see Splenda in a panic within a week."

"As ordered, Your Highness."

Domitian bowed respectfully:

"I'll make arrangements right away."

"Go."

Tiberius waved his hand, signaling Domitian to leave.

Domitian bowed deeply again and then tiptoed out of the ruined box.

When Domitian left and Tiberius was the only one left in the room, the false calmness on his face disappeared instantly.

Recalling what Domitian had just relayed, Tiberius' eyes began to burn with anger again.

Oh shit, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!

"Bang!"

Tiberius' eyes were red as he punched the already broken table, making a loud noise.

The tabletop completely shattered under his heavy blow, and fragments flew everywhere.

"Lucius..."

Tiberius gritted his teeth and whispered the other person's name, his voice full of resentment and hatred.

"Wait until I complete my ascension under the blessing of the great power of the Supreme Heaven, wait until I gain the favor of the Lord of Destiny, wait until I become the true and unquestionable monarch of this empire..."

"I will make you and all those who look down on me pay a heavy price!"

"Let the empire burn? Humph! Who's afraid of who?"

...........................

Meanwhile, what was Lucius doing?

—Lucius in Octavia's chambers.

To be honest, he originally planned to take the reward after reporting his work, but the emperor Lao Deng's sudden reminder before leaving made him forget it.

Threatening a Lu Ge?

Haha, you reminded me then.

It's time to replenish your eldest daughter's magic and show some respect.

That day, Lu Ge~Lu Ge got up~

Lucius, whose rebellious psychology was aroused, turned around and headed straight for the inner court after leaving the study.

At this moment, in the reception room of Octavia's bedroom, Lucius was lying on Octavia's legs in an extremely relaxed posture.

He closed his eyes, enjoying this rare moment of peace and quiet, with a satisfied and comfortable expression on his face.

If one were to rank the feelings of the knee pillows Lucius has experienced so far, Octavia's would undoubtedly be number one.

Global turmoil is hidden under the cloak of peace, and there are always people who want to tear off the cloak and control the world.

Octavia's bright eyes were also filled with gentle light, and there was a happy smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and her whole body exuded maternal kindness and her unique charm.

"Come on, open your mouth~"

Octavia held a peeled grape in her hand. The grapes were plump and crystal clear, sparkling with an alluring luster under the light.

Lucius obediently opened his mouth, and Octavia gently put the grapes into his mouth.

"How does it taste, young lord?"

Octavia looked down at Lucius, her eyes full of anticipation.

"That's great! I feel like even Emperor Lao Deng doesn't enjoy it as much as I do."

Lucius squinted his eyes and enjoyed it, with satisfaction written all over his face.

If the Emperor Lao Deng saw this scene, he would definitely be furious, right?

Do you want to take a photo to record your beautiful life?

Oh, forget it. Emperor Lao Deng is already a widower, so let’s not discourage him.

Lucius shook his head secretly in his heart.

"Haha, young lord, you can't let your father hear this."

Octavia chuckled and tapped his forehead, the doting look in her eyes growing more intense.

Octavia is the woman who can become Lucius' mother.

At this time, Lucius suddenly thought of the important matter.

His expression became serious, and he then told Octavia about the recent time-reversal events, hoping to get some advice from Octavia.

"Based on the information provided by Your Majesty, we speculate that the Chaos Cult's goal is to turn back the clock of the entire Splendar thirty years."

Lucius continued his analysis seriously:

"Because that was Helios's decline, they might have wanted to take advantage of this opportunity."

"What do you think about this?"

"Based on your experience within the Order, how feasible is this plan?"

Octavia pondered for a long moment, her fingers caressing Lucius's chest, her eyes becoming deep and focused.

After a while, she shook her head gently:

"Young Lord, I think there may be some problems with your speculation."

"Oh?"

Lucius's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"Sister, tell me in detail."

"The true goal of the cult may not be as far-reaching as you think."

Octavia smiled slightly and explained softly:

"Perhaps it's because events like time reversal have occurred so frequently recently that you have the illusion that they can easily interfere with time."

"But in reality, large-scale time travel is extremely difficult and extremely dangerous."

"Not only does it require perfect activation timing, it also requires a sufficiently powerful energy source to support it. The caster himself also needs to bear the huge risk of backlash."

"To successfully travel back in time in a city as large as Splenda, even a senior priest like Chris can only go back to a certain point ten years ago, and it's impossible to maintain a stable state of travel back in time for a long time."

"That is to say, it might have just gone back to the past in the last second, and restored to its present state in the next second."

When Lucius heard this, a thoughtful glint flashed in his eyes:

"So, their targets are only within the past ten years, right?"

"That's probably the case."

Octavia nodded, then lowered her voice and spoke in a mysterious tone:

"Young Master, I will tell you another secret that only the core members of the cult know~"

"According to rumors within the cult, one day ten years ago, Splenda attracted the brief attention of the Lord of Destiny."

“Although it was only a brief glance, the attention of the Supreme Being is of immense significance to the Order.”

"Compared to the painstaking effort to create the Helios artifact during its decline, perhaps that special moment that can attract the Supreme Being's attention is the true goal of the cult."
