Chapter 869 The King's Audience
Just because the Scar Era couldn't win doesn't mean other eras can't.

It's important to understand that once the race against time begins, it can trigger a domino effect.

This has been recorded in history. As distant times progressed toward modernity, the eras along the way gradually learned the truth, and in the end, the war became a multi-party war.

If the people of the Tang Dynasty knew the truth about the cyclical history, then the modern superhumans will have to deal not only with the residents of the Tang Dynasty, but with everyone from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties.

Of course, this won't happen immediately, because the number of slots in the present world is limited. Not to mention different histories, even people from the same era are competitors.

Unless absolutely necessary, no one will tell others the truth about the cyclical history. After all, the laws of time travel are there for all to see. No one cares if you are the strongest in the world. As long as you meet the requirements and seize the opportunity, even a beggar can take the king's place and travel to the future.

"If I were Sprite, what would I do?" Xia Shou muttered to himself.

To complete everything that a person with a name is required to do in the present world within a very short time is virtually impossible, let alone for inhabitants of the old history whose memories are reset with the historical reset, or even for those who have lost their names...

Wait! The anonymous one!
In an instant, Xia Shou understood the key point in the whole matter!
The Nameless One completes the naming ceremony by having his disciples arrange it in the world.

This practice is not a privilege of the anonymous; it's just that in historical periods with similar timelines, modern people lack the appropriate leverage to make equivalent trades with the powerful of the past.

Modern people need historical heroes to come to the present world to help them, but once historical heroes arrive in the modern world, they no longer need modern people.

Modern people risk great danger simply by revealing their modernity; they might inadvertently become someone's replacement.

On the other hand, ordinary historical figures cannot establish a deep relationship of trust with their disciples like the nameless ones.

Therefore, such a transaction without collateral and without the cost of default is not a good deal for either party.

But the Scar Age is different. The abnormal flow of time in this era makes the strong in the Scar Age have an extremely strong need for modern allies.

After all, no matter how strong a person is, they wouldn't be so arrogant as to think they could take down many powerful figures from another era in a short time.

Therefore, Spreadt needs a modern person to do things for him in the modern world, and at the same time, he needs the person to tell him the truth again after his own era is reset.

Sprite will also use her power to satisfy the other party's desires to some extent.

In short, there are many ways for both parties to reach a viable deal!
"It's a limitation of perspective again," Xia Shou said, frowning.

Indeed, none of the modern superhumans wish for a historical war to occur.

But is a historical war really inevitable?
That's not necessarily true, because he's from the Control Bureau and sees preventing people from signing their names as his natural responsibility, so he subconsciously puts himself on the side of being hostile to the residents of the old historical area.

In reality, apart from the Control Bureau, not many superhumans care about whether or not they sign their names. In fact, many people feel that as long as they can benefit from signing their names, they don't care about assisting in the signing.

Take the Blood Mother Cult, for example!

Perhaps, a modern-day traitor has already gone to find Spreadt.

"Wei Yu, something terrible has happened! We have to go back right away! We need to report this as soon as possible!"

Xia Shou did a somersault and jumped up from the beach.

Su Weiyu looked up in surprise and asked him in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Xia Shou explained his reasoning to Su Weiyu in detail from beginning to end.

After listening, the other person remained calm and even looked at him with an expression of incomprehension.

Didn't she realize the enormous risks involved in this matter? Xia Shou thought to himself.

Su Weiyu spoke up.

"Ah Shou, what you said makes a lot of sense. I only understood it after hearing you say it. But I think someone in the bureau must have thought of it already, right? It's not something that's hard to come up with." Xia Shou was stunned, his excited mind instantly cooling down.

Yes.

indeed.

This is not something that is hard to come by.

Thinking about it carefully, anyone can figure out what might happen in a little time. Moreover, the regulatory bureau has encountered similar incidents more than once, and has a large group of geniuses helping with research and analysis. They may have already realized this "ecological model" of modern people acting as accomplices to evil.

Perhaps... this is nothing in the eyes of the regulatory authorities.

Although Xia Shou thought it was "possible," based on his understanding of the Control Bureau, that was probably the case.

Perhaps I was worrying for nothing.

But thinking about it this way, he became even more curious about how the control bureau would respond.

The regulatory authority is really strong that they can control even this kind of risk.

……

……

Inside the palace, Sprite sat on the throne, looking down at the people kneeling below.

“Just as you said, Adele, someone really has come,” Sprite said.

“Your Majesty, that is natural. In any era, there will always be people who yearn to rely on your power,” Adele said respectfully.

“Your Majesty, is there anything we can do for you?” Carter asked respectfully.

He was the only one who came to pay homage to the King of Rift.

Originally, Kanae and Li Mingzheng should have come too.

But after discussion, they decided to send only him.

Although they felt that the King of Rift also needed them, the other party was, after all, the pinnacle of this era, and it was never too much to be cautious when dealing with him; one person was enough for the negotiations.

Therefore, Carter, being the most suitable person to handle this kind of situation, came here.

He believed that the King of Rift desperately needed someone like him, and that as long as they talked things over properly, they could definitely make the deal happen!
"I heard from my royal advisor that several people wanted to see me. Why is it only you?" Sprite said with a smile, but her tone was calm and devoid of any mirth.

Carter glanced at the king with extreme caution from the very top of his field of vision.

The other person's smile was cynical, yet not frivolous; it was hard to imagine that such a smile could carry such a heavy sense of authority, which was enough to send chills down one's spine.

A whole host of thoughts uncontrollably popped into Carter's head: Ah, is this the strongest being of this era?

What is he laughing at?
Did you see right through me?
Damn it! You're a King of Britain too! Even if it's just a title, your ancestors were kings! At least don't tremble!

“They fear your authority.” Carter thought his tone was relatively calm, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he wanted to slap himself.

What the hell are you talking about?! Listen to the utter nonsense you're spouting! Are you Qin Wuyang from China?
“I know what you’re thinking.” Spreadt’s smile widened. “That’s incredibly disrespectful.”
