If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 1130 The Evolution of the Great Destroyer
Hu Hai was truly sincere and emotional; he was not only in tears, but also had snot bubbles coming out of his nose and large clumps of saliva flying everywhere.

Grand Tutor Yu waved his sleeve with a disgusted expression, and an invisible force sent him flying seven or eight meters, crashing into a corner of the wall.

"Huhai, think this through carefully. If I, the Grand Tutor, am like Zhao Gao and Li Si, and can be tempted by power, even if I am eventually moved by your pleas and promises, can I become your support?"
Once I have eliminated Zhao Gao and Li Si, I will become even more terrifying than they were.

You can't even defeat Zhao Gao, how can you face someone as powerful as me?
"If I am not tempted by power and only wish for the good of Qin, what use is your pretense?"

Hu Hai wiped the snot, saliva, and tears from his face, his eyes still red, and pleaded, "Father, I have long known that you are of noble character and do not covet power or position. I admire and respect you a thousand times over."

I said that I would listen to you in everything from now on and would place you above the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, which was entirely out of my trust in you.

Instead of making empty promises to win them over.

Xiao Yu grew impatient and said, "Don't you have any self-awareness? You're not suited to be emperor."

You've traveled through time so many times in your dreams, becoming emperor countless times, only to die and have your entire clan wiped out each time.

Can't you just let yourself off the hook, let the Ying clan off the hook, and let the Qin Dynasty off the hook?

Why must one be a debt collector, as if the sole purpose of this life is to collect a debt from the Ying clan, dragging the entire clan to their deaths?

Hu Hai was completely oblivious to his own shortcomings; his face showed only embarrassment and awkwardness, with little shame, and his shouts remained loud.

“Father, I am young. Please continue to teach me, even if it takes a lot of trouble!”

Tonight, my child only had a fleeting dream of millet, which lasted less than an hour.

From now on, my child will travel through time every night, a thousand times each night. Before long, he will surely be as well-trained as the late emperor.

Xiaoyu was speechless. "You could train your whole life and still not become the former emperor."

Forget about time travel multiple times; if your father, Emperor Ying Zheng, were to time travel, he would only need to do it once to easily crush Zhao Gao.

Then, after sweeping across six kingdoms, whether they can ultimately defeat the 'True Dragon Emperor' remains to be seen.

She was not praising Ying Zheng or belittling Hu Hai.

When Ying Zheng first ascended the throne, the first major boss he faced was Lü Buwei!
Lü Buwei was several levels above Zhao Gao.

Ying Zheng ascended the throne at the age of thirteen and dismissed Lü Buwei at the age of twenty-three, enduring ten years of hardship.

Ying Zheng wasn't a time traveler yet.

Hu Hai is now nearly thirty years old, and despite countless time travels, he is still far inferior to Ying Zheng, who was thirteen at the time.

But Hu Hai was too eager to become emperor, and even after being criticized so mercilessly by his advisor, he still wouldn't give up.

“Father, I am not reconciled! Father Emperor had Prime Minister Lü to teach him well, but I was ruined by Zhao Gao.”

Only after I became emperor did I realize that the "Great Qin Law" taught by Zhao Gao was basically useless.

I do not know how to govern a country, let alone how to deal with treacherous officials and powerful figures.

Governing the country with the laws of Qin would only make the already terminally ill Qin Dynasty worse.

Because the laws of the Qin Dynasty were too harsh, and the people needed time to recuperate.

The more the Qin laws were applied to governing the country, the worse the situation became.

"To be able to say that the people need to rest and recuperate?" Xiaoyu looked at him in surprise. "It seems that you've actually learned something from your constant time travels."

Hu Hai nodded frantically with a fawning expression, saying, "After countless time travels, I've come to understand that those who rebel are destined to suffer and die."

No matter how the court governs, as long as their situation cannot be improved immediately, rebellions will occur.

Although I am slow-witted and unable to see through the true nature of Qin's loss of destiny at once, I am good at being diligent.

Learn a little at a time, and practice many times; eventually, diligence will make up for any shortcomings.

He wasn't entirely lying.

For a long time, he had heard from Grand Tutor Yu, Li Si, and other court officials about the crux of Qin's problems: the people were suffering and needed to rest.

At the time, I only knew the answer "The world has suffered under Qin for too long," but I did not have a personal experience of it.

He traveled through time countless times in his dreams. Before Zhao Gao killed him, he issued many decrees to change the tragic fate of the rebels who invaded Guanzhong.

All his efforts, naturally, failed.

But after many failures and experiences, he truly came to understand the ills of the Qin Dynasty.

Yu Taishi's "Yellow Millet Dream" uses real data filtered from dreams and then uses the Hetu and Luoshu diagrams to evolve the changes in destiny. It is technically very sophisticated, and the simulated world is also very realistic.

Seeing Grand Tutor Yu deep in thought, Hu Hai looked expectant and continued, "As long as my mentor is my teacher, while I travel through time, my mentor will help me summarize my experiences and lessons, and guide me on how to practice martial arts and how to manipulate power."

"I believe that my partnership with my adoptive father will surpass the partnership between the late emperor and renowned ministers such as Li Si, Feng Quji, Meng Yi, and Wang Jian."

Staring into his sincere and genuine eyes, Xiaoyu suddenly understood why Hu Hai could be the consensus of Li Si, Feng Quji, Marquis Lieyang, and others.

His sincerity and infectious humility in humbling himself were unmatched by any other prince.

In the history of humanity, this is probably very rare. It seems that Liu Laosan could rival him.

Even Liu Ji, when making various promises against his will, always had a hint of resentment and forbearance in his eyes, while Hu Hai had none of that.

Because he was sincere.

But his sincerity won't last long. Once he gains power, all the promises he made while pretending to be subservient will be worthless.

In a daze, Xiaoyu saw a resemblance to Ying Zheng in Huhai.

In his obsession with the throne, he was much like Qin Shi Huang.

He was similar to Qin Shi Huang in personality, but far inferior in ability.

"Hu Hai, go back! You can relive your dreams countless times, but in reality you only have one chance."

Even this chance to defy fate requires paying a huge price to fight for.

Tonight, I rejected your talent, but I acknowledged your character.

You bear a striking resemblance to the late emperor.

As for the explanation of the meeting on the morning of the 1st

Xiao Yu sighed, "There are some things that Li Si and Marquis Lieyang already know, even if I don't say them."

Of course, you don't need to be too anxious.

The Qin Dynasty was originally destined to fall within three years; it wasn't solely your responsibility.

"Replacing you with another prince won't change fate."

Hu Hai was both surprised and bewildered.

Does he resemble the late emperor?
That's extremely high praise!

Even Li Si and Feng Quji never said that.

"Father, what do you mean by this? Are you supporting your son, or..."

Xiaoyu waved her hand, "It's getting late, you should go back!"

Hu Hai, observing the expressions on the other's face, knew that continuing to pester Yu Taishi would only displease him.

"Father, I'm leaving."

He bowed several more times before leaving the Imperial Observatory with trepidation.

As soon as Hu Hai's carriage turned into the palace, a dark figure, like a ghost, darted lightly into the carriage without making a sound.

"Ah—" Hu Hai cried out in fright. "It's me! How can you be emperor with such a cowardly heart?" Zhao Gao said irritably.

Hu Hai's expression changed several times, and he sincerely admitted his mistake, saying, "The student was daydreaming."

—Damn it, the way you suddenly appeared and your movements were exactly the same as a scene from my dream. I recognized you, that's why I screamed!
What's going on? I'm supposed to be traveling through time in a dream, but the more I look at this old eunuch, the more he seems like a treacherous minister who "calls a deer a horse"?
The expressions, demeanor, and even the breath made it impossible to distinguish between dreams and reality.

Especially now, scrutinizing him with a slightly suspicious look. Oh crap, he suspects I'm a time traveler!
"Your Highness, are you afraid of this old servant, or are you on guard?" Zhao Gao asked, frowning.

—Oh dear, this is starting to feel more and more like a scene from a dream?

Grand Tutor Yu is lying to me. I'm not dreaming; I've actually traveled through time!

Hu Hai was so restless that he was almost in tears.

"Teacher, don't blame your disciple, it was all just a fleeting dream!"

He instinctively used the techniques he had learned in his dream of surviving under Zhao Gao's rule—to be 99% sincere and honest, while hiding a little bit of cunning.

"Grand Tutor Yu used his great magic to test his disciple with the art of dreams, and the disciple had hundreds of nightmares in a row."

It's like being under a spell.

Not only am I afraid of you, but I also fear Prime Minister Li, Marquis Lieyang, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. I am utterly terrified; I fear everything.

Zhao Gao asked with suspicion, "What kind of nightmares were they?"

Hu Hai said, "After I became the Second Emperor, I served until the Qin Dynasty was destroyed."

This process kept repeating itself in my dreams.

No matter how hard I try, the Qin Dynasty will perish, and I will die a miserable death, sometimes even killed by you, Master.

"Nonsense!" Zhao Gao's expression changed several times. "This old servant is loyal to Your Highness. Your Highness's future is this old servant's future. No matter when or under what circumstances, this old servant will never harm Your Highness!"

—Good heavens, that expression again, and those words again.
Hu Hai really cried, "Waaah, teacher, I'm so miserable, so scared~~"

He lay in Zhao Gao's arms and cried.

"Don't cry yet, and don't worry about the nightmares. Tell me first, what is Yu Fengxian's attitude?" Zhao Gao straightened him up and asked seriously.

Hu Hai was stunned for a long time.

Zhao Gao's reaction was unprecedented in countless previous time travels.

Then he realized that there was no Grand Tutor Yu in his dream, but there was one in reality!

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly felt courageous.

Grand Tutor Yu was truly an upright minister who was impartial, selfless, devoted to the public good, indifferent to power, and unafraid of tyranny!
With her around, there's nothing to fear from any demons or monsters.

He regained his composure and even laughed, saying, "As instructed by my teacher, I knelt down and kowtowed to her, recognizing her as my adoptive father. She even offered me dinner!"
The millet rice from the Imperial Observatory smelled delicious!

Zhao Gao was baffled.

Why isn't Hu Hai afraid of him anymore? Could his panic and crying just now have been feigned?

My current calm and joy are not feigned.

There's also millet rice, it smells so good. Did Hu Hai have a stroke?

"Did she promise to support you in becoming the second emperor?" Zhao Ya suppressed his distracting thoughts and only asked the key question.

Hu Hai shook his head, "She tested her disciples with a dream, and they performed poorly."

Grand Tutor Yu said that his disciple had extremely poor talent and that if he became emperor, the Qin Dynasty would definitely perish.

However, she didn't rule out the possibility entirely, and before leaving, she even praised her disciple for resembling the late emperor!

Zhao Gao pondered for a moment, then sneered, "I understand. She probably realizes that your coronation as the second emperor is inevitable."

She not only wanted to be the Grand Tutor and Grand Preceptor, but also wanted to exclude the other officials and control the court alone!

She deliberately used illusion to frighten you, not as a test, but to sow discord between you and this old servant, Prime Minister Li, and Marquis Lieyang!

—You old eunuch, you're so wicked! Now you're trying to sow discord between me and my father-in-law. I don't believe you for a second!

Hu Hai paused for a moment, then asked, "How should this disciple respond?"

Zhao Gao's eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly, "Your Highness, please tell this old servant everything you experienced in your dream, down to the smallest detail, and then this old servant will analyze it for you."

Hu Hai's alarm bells rang loudly: Damn it, it's that same expression and tone again. Zhao Gao is definitely suspicious of me and is trying to trick me into talking!
We need to keep him calm; we can't tell him the whole truth, but we also can't lie.

Xiao Yu didn't pay much attention to how Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, this "good teacher and student," schemed against each other.

Making Hu Hai a time traveler is not even a trivial move.

Because Hu Hai's performance was so poor, no one had any hope for him.

Before Hu Hai's nighttime visit, Xiao Yu planned to go out and test the new trigger mechanism for the Great Destruction Father. As soon as Hu Hai left, she quietly departed from the Imperial Observatory.

First, we arrived at Prime Minister Li's residence.

It's no wonder Xiaoyu is targeting Li Si; it's just that his family has too many extraordinary people and monsters.

He was the first to spread the word that he wanted to recruit a virtuous immortal to replace Grand Tutor Yu.

Apart from the "Eastern Sea Qi Refiners" brought by the Eastern Sea Army Corps, more than 80% of the other extraordinary individuals selected by Grand Tutor Zhi were in the Li residence.

Even Peng Shisan and the other two members of the "Kunpeng Digital Gang" were now honored guests at Prime Minister Li's residence.

Well, this time Tianpeng Digital helped bring three ancient demon gods.

One of them is Peng Shisan, another is suspected to have mastered the "Pengcheng Wanli" Pro Divine Power and is a "Tianpeng Ancestor", while the third has no information.

Although these three had transformed into human form, they did not go to the Imperial Observatory to participate in the "Grand Tutor Selection" last time.

We don't know their specific purpose for coming to Xianyang.

Apart from Peng Shisan, the other two ancient demon gods have not yet triggered the Great Annihilation.

"Hey, you blind little bastard, the master called you several times, why didn't you answer?"

Xiaoyu was looking around furtively at the "Linxianpu" outside Yangxiantang. Suddenly, a crow swooped down on her back, pecking at the back of her neck with its sharp beak.

At this time, she became a low-ranking servant named "Li Cheng" in the Li family. The sixteen or seventeen-year-old servant was quite clever and waited for the guests to do his bidding outside the flower garden.

With her were two servants, who were not allowed to be summoned, enter the main hall, or approach (disturb) the distinguished guests and the master.

But they can't go too far, lest the master can't find them when he needs "lowly servants".

Although she stood on tiptoe to look around, she did not break the rules.

The servants all stared intently at the main hall, their ears perked up, waiting for the order to be given.

"Immortal Master, spare me!" Xiao Yu cried out in anguish, then froze.

This "crow" has activated the Great Destroyer!
She didn't call them "father" or "mother," and naturally, they didn't respond, but Daddy was moved.

—Just as I sensed, the new direction for advancing the Purple Mansion Divine Power is not the deduction efficiency of the Great Annihilation Father, but rather the lowering of the trigger threshold.

It's easier for the "godfather" to trigger the Great Annihilation of Father.

No, the key words for establishing causal relationships don't seem to be limited to "father".

Just now, "Crow" only referred to himself as "Master".

She didn't call him "Dad," but he still referred to himself as such. The karma of "destroying Dad" has been completed!
