Chapter 82 Deceiving the Heavens

Robert looked up in surprise, his sad expression still lingering, and hesitantly asked, "Father, is this really alright?"

""

As Heaven has already said, he has no Eastern blood, is unfamiliar with Eastern culture, and even his name—

Robert looked at the three Chinese characters written by Chen Ping'an that belonged to him.

Luo is the surname, and Bert is the given name.

So he understood what the priest meant!

But is it really possible to deceive Heaven?

Although a doubt flashed through his mind, the majestic voice he had just heard indicated that the priest was going to bestow upon him a divine position.

God's throne!

Even if it's risky, so what?

A look of determination finally flashed in Robert's eyes. He was about to agree and recite the oath of allegiance word by word with the priest.

Suddenly, a voice interrupted all his emotions.

"Mr. Chen, I think we should reconsider?"

Lan Jun stepped forward, wanting to whisper a reminder to Chen Ping'an: "When the lightning struck just now, wasn't it a warning to you, sir, not to bestow the divine position of the Nine Provinces upon a foreigner?"

If you really ignore the warning I just gave and try to deify this Mr. Robert again, you might anger the heavens—

Mr. Chen, if lightning strikes again, it might not just hit this document!

This was indeed his concern; such a remarkable person had just appeared, possessing abilities they did not understand.

Such people are a national treasure.

If he were to be struck dead by lightning because of his recklessness, it would be an enormous loss!

Moreover, the heavens are very protective of Kyushu, and the reason for punishing people is also very legitimate. Chen Ping'an wanted to steal the divine position of Kyushu and bestow it upon a foreigner!

There should be a limit to the number of divine positions, right?

To rashly bestow divine positions upon outsiders, setting aside the possibility of provoking another divine warning, is akin to having one less divine position once it's been given away.

Whose loss is this? It's a loss for the entire country and the entire nation!

He had to speak up and offer some advice or reminders.

Although Robert didn't know what the middle-aged Asian man in front of him was whispering, he could guess what he meant.

It was obvious that she was trying to prevent the priest from granting her a divine position again, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

In fact, besides Robert, Hathaway and Hanks Gan, who were closer to the Blues, also heard the advice and reminders from the Blues.

They both understand Chinese, especially Hathaway, who can not only understand it but also speak it.

Moreover, Hathaway was exposed to Eastern culture from a young age. The films and books she saw in her neighbors' homes introduced her to some Eastern myths and legends.

She felt disappointed when Heaven stopped Robert's deification ceremony and said that he could not be deified without Eastern blood and knowledge of Eastern literature.

But Chen Ping'an wrote the three characters "Robert" in Chinese characters and said very solemnly that this would be his name from now on.

And he made Robert read the oath of allegiance to him, trying to cleverly give him an identity, stealing this loophole under the warning of heaven.

If successful, then—for Hathaway, wouldn't this be an opportunity for her to attain a divine position and become a celestial soldier?

But what this middle-aged man from the East said made a lot of sense. If Master Chen insisted on deifying the gods and was struck dead by the heavens, then he would really have nothing left.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

Chen Ping'an lightly raised his right hand and pressed down. He knew that his path lay in America, and that following the Yellow Turban Road was the only option; there was no other way.

And now, deifying Robert is the beginning of a solid foundation.

If he fails, his path will be cut off!

Do you really think you can find tens of millions of impoverished people from the East on American soil to form a Yellow Turban Rebellion?

Even if they wanted to, the Americans wouldn't allow it!

They can only recruit people in America, and they can't even seal off the Yellow Turban Warriors. What's going on? Are they all Easterners? Will all the people with supernatural powers in the Taiping Dao be Easterners?

In the Americas, people are not even qualified for such an opportunity for advancement. So, would they rather continue to wander or be foolish enough to be cannon fodder for your Taiping Dao?

Without hope, there is no motivation!

Therefore, whether Robert can become a Yellow Turban Warrior is crucial to his path in life.

Whether it succeeds or not, we have to find a way to make it happen!

The Blue Team member grew anxious: "Why don't you reconsider? This is a sacred position!"

Seeing that he seemed a little anxious, Lin Zhiyong actually understood why he was in such a hurry.

Worried that Chen Ping'an might say something inappropriate, he quickly tried to ease the tension: "Ping'an, maybe we shouldn't take any risks. I was a little scared just now."

"That lightning, I couldn't react at all!"

Chen Ping'an wasn't stupid; he knew what Lan Jun meant. He smiled slightly and explained, "Mr. Lan, I am from the Way of Peace, and this title is also bestowed upon me as a Yellow Turban Warrior of the Way of Peace."

In this era, the Way of Peace was not suitable for development within the country, so appointing foreigners as Yellow Turban Warriors was a helpless move.

But don't worry, the oaths I made them swear weren't just empty words. Heaven is the witness; they are loyal to the nine provinces of China, and our ancestors have suppressed the destiny of the land. We are not afraid of them rebelling.

For an ordinary person, a vow would be nothing more than a toothache curse.

But if the oath of allegiance is sworn by a Yellow Turban warrior who holds a divine position, then that oath becomes a heavenly rule, which cannot be violated.

After explaining, he ignored the Blues' reaction and looked at Robert seriously again.

"Robert, I'll give you one more chance!"

Read after me: This is your oath to be loyal to the Chinese nation. Once you take this oath, it is recognized by Heaven and must never be broken.

Have you thought this through?

Having said all that, what else could Robert say, unless he was truly willing to give up the chance to become a god?

The majestic voice just now said that this is the divine position of the nine provinces of China. To possess a divine position is to become a god.

He hesitated for even a second, which would be disrespectful to becoming a god.

"Father, I do!"

"Okay, listen carefully and read after me word by word."

I, Robert, swear to God—

"Worobod swears to God."

To Robert, this sentence was like gibberish, but he memorized all the pronunciations and recited it as quickly as possible.

He worried that if a few more seconds passed, he would forget one of the syllables.

Chen Pingan glanced at him. Although his accent was a bit heavy, at least he had the right attitude.

What does this mean? God should be able to understand!

"From this day forward ————"

"From today onwards."

"Loyalty to the Nine Provinces of China —"

"Loyalty to the nine provinces of China."

"

""

After Robert finished reading the oath with him, Chen Ping'an carefully sensed that nothing had changed in the world.

That shouldn't be happening!

Never mind, he picked up his brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and rewrote the three Chinese characters "Robert" on the pristine imperial edict.

There was no response. When asked for his place of origin, he didn't write Florida. Instead, he looked at Robert and said, "In America, there is no place of origin. From today onwards, your place of origin is Peace Town."

It's not Ping'an Town in California, USA, but Ping'an Town in the Han Dynasty, and it will always be the people of Ping'an Town.

Did you understand?

Robert nodded and replied, "I understand. I, Robert, am from Ping'an Town, Dahan."

Chen Ping'an then picked up his pen and wrote "Da Han Ping'an Town" as Robert's place of origin.

As he stamped his seal anew and lifted it up, he felt incredibly uneasy, unsure if what he was doing would work.

If it doesn't work out, what should I do in the future?

P.S. I'll finish one more chapter before going to sleep tonight, but it'll be a bit late. Please don't stay up late, you can read it tomorrow.
