Chapter 781: Chapter 622: Fish and Dragon Illusion, Everyone is Like a Dragon_2

"Understood, which means it’s not the person who’s impressive, but the platform that’s the most powerful."

"So Old Liu’s abilities are actually average, and if someone else were put in your position, they could also handle your job, right?"

"Er, Old Liu?"

Even after becoming a Human Ghost, the Succeeding Saint, Liu Wencheng, was shocked by this fellow’s brazenness.

Useful, he’s Mr. Liu; useless, he’s Old Liu.

Listen to me explain—what I mean is that Human Ghosts naturally lack personal desires and will only act according to the will of the people, making the most beneficial decisions for the nation and the Human Dao.

But those living Yang Officials, if they don’t get enough opportunities to train, even geniuses will be buried without being able to realize the survival of the fittest within the Yang Official system!

Moreover, having finally escaped the bitter sea, who would be willing to go back and suffer?

Before Liu Wencheng could eagerly explain, Wang Yuan’s expression suddenly relaxed as he laughed and patted his shoulder:

"Haha, it was just a joke."

"I understand that what Mr. Liu says comes from the heart."

"But I also know that some people use the platform as their skill, while others have true talent!"

"Even given the same training, some remain as unyielding rocks while others can be tempered into steel, and only a rare few can be refined into gold."

"To reach the accomplishments you have, Mr. Liu, is still exceedingly rare."

"While we should acknowledge the role of opportunities in life, we need not deny that there’s an enormous disparity in natural talent among people."

"Mr. Liu, just focus on doing your work, and I’ll make sure that no talented individual will be left idle."

As everyone knows, a worker’s salary and treatment are not based on their ability or the value they create, but... on the difficulty of replacing them!

These words are said so that Liu Wencheng and the future levels of Human Ghosts and Yang Officials all understand.

These Human Ghost positions, precious beyond measure compared to titles of nobility, do not imply an easy life or rest with the nation once claimed.

An assessment system will also follow suit, allowing the capable to rise and the mediocre to fall. No one is irreplaceable.

Wang Yuan has no intention of creating a closed privileged class succeeding the Scholars.

Since ancient times, Emperors have had to ally with specific ruling classes to secure their reign.

For thousands of years, they have shared the world with various levels of vassals, military nobles, aristocratic families, Scholars, Gentry...

The latter classes actually all appeared to check and balance the preceding one.

The Imperial Examination replaced the recommendation system, breaking the monopoly of powerful families over authorities—it took the entire Sui and Tang dynasties to achieve this; how great was that?

Yet, when it reached its zenith, it formed a new class that replaced the aristocracy.

Even some Commoners, upon becoming officials, turned out to be greedier than hereditary nobles’ progeny. Dragon Slayers ultimately turned into dragons themselves.

The party conflicts of the Great Yan’s late period, the nation could not compete with the Scholars for profit, the rampant land annexation, holding the maritime trade while imposing maritime prohibitions...

All were the deeds of moral gentlemen.

He wants to truly establish complete equality among Scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants, ignite societal vitality, and harness everyone’s strength to eradicate the Killing Tree from its roots!

Yang Officials and Human Ghosts are leaders, but in essence, they are just positions with clearly defined duties and responsibilities.

Don’t think about monopolizing the pathway to officialdom, nor about using power to form an untouchable privileged class.

With a fair and transparent assessment system and all citizens treated equally, each person can become dragon-like, judged solely on their contributions to the nation and the Human Dao.

Only by making contributions can one step into the core of the Immortal Dynasty!

Put that way, it has a bit of a taste of a utopian world."

Old Master Wang allows everyone to see hope and have the opportunity to show their strengths.

Let the most talented people study mathematics, physics, chemistry, medicine... to create value for the nation.

Let him handle the things others can’t; let him realize the ideals others can’t; at the very least, live up to the mantle of heir apparent, right?

Of course, this has nothing to do with him not passing the exams in his past life at all.

It’s all out of public interest, just like that!

As long as the most critical issue of people is resolved.

Whether it’s setting official positions in the Immortal Dynasty, introducing Mundane Gods, or those "Civil Skills," "Official Skills," "Military Skills," "Sacrificial Techniques" that come later, they are all minor issues.

"Young Fourth, you assist the teacher, and the first step is to organize the manpower to compile the complete ’Great Yan Law’ according to the requirements of my ’Imperial Decree Twelve Laws.’"

"In the meantime, whether you can make a name with your Fish-Dragon Illusion Skill will depend on how well you do."

"Yes, Master. Buqu will definitely not disappoint you."

Ying Buqu, who was standing on the side, swiftly pledged emphatically, taking on the task.

Not only did I pick up a little life, but also I was able to break free from the cage and have the opportunity to pursue my ambitions and even have a chance at longevity.

After meeting with several of his senior brothers and sisters and feeling the crisis, Ying Buqu immediately joined the battle for "Master’s Favorite Disciple" without hesitation.

"Excellent!"

After carefully weighing his options, Wang Yuan ultimately did not let Ying Buqu cultivate the Black Law Judge Method.

Instead, he cultivated the Fish-Dragon Illusion Skill, a technique created by combining the Yin Mountain Taoist Skill with the Six Desires Reddust Way, a part of Earth Department Taoism.

At its core, it is a mysterious method capable of altering the Innate Fate Chart and defying the heavens to change destiny.

Fate first, then luck, followed by Feng Shui, gathering Yin Morality fourth, and studying fifth.

This practice could transform one’s own "Fate," evolving from a red carp to a yellow Jiao, and eventually to an Azure Dragon, continuously evolving through the following steps two, three, four, and five.

It is a technique that directly targets the Immortal Ascension through Merit.

Once reaching the pinnacle of the Azure Dragon Fate Chart, with only one-third the merit needed by others, one could attain the position of an Immortal, becoming a True Immortal of Fortune and Virtue!

Having cultivated the Fish-Dragon Dharma Light, one could sacrifice thirty percent of its power to simulate any Six Desires Reddust Way or Yin Mountain Taoist Skill, making it most suitable for rolling about in the Mortal World.

Now that he had entered the officialdom of Post-Yan, it naturally brought him unparalleled benefits.

After they had agreed on the details, the night had already fallen.

Snap!

Wang Yuan opened the Ghost Gate and stepped through, instantly moving from the Imperial City to the neatly arranged Dragon Tower Phoenix Pavilion atop Dushuo Mountain.

He certainly would not boast to Liu Wencheng; returning here was precisely to consider how to achieve "everyone as dragons," ensuring no talent goes unrecognized.

The key lay in Huang Wu, who had already advanced to a Dharma Image.

"As long as the Dragon Qi Prohibition is connected to the ’Collective Unconscious Sea,’ letting the enlightened populace train in various historical periods in their dreams, experiencing a thousand years in a single dream.

Old Liu said there were no opportunities, right? Isn’t being a county magistrate or a local magistrate as easy as playing around in the real flow of history?

Infinite virtual resources can cultivate countless genuine talents!

In my previous life, the Metaverse was just a concept, but using Daoist Skill to realize it was effortless, even directly reaching the ultimate form of the Metaverse.

The wisdom of hundreds of millions of people colliding will be enough to propel the reality of Post-Yan into the stratosphere like a rocket.

I’ve always wondered.

In the fantasy novels I read before, there were various illusion arrays capable of blurring reality with fiction, dreaming through several lifetimes.

If used to assist with learning and tutoring, they would have made a fortune a long time ago, right?"

Looking up, he saw Huang Wu sitting under a cherry tree in the small courtyard that bore fruit every season, chiding him:

"Xiao Yuan, why did you come back so late?

Zhiyin has left her confinement, and today she brought Zi Ye and Yuqiong, the twin dragon and phoenix pair, to visit Dushuo Mountain. They just left after dinner.

You didn’t see how adorable the two babies were."

Huang Wu had just bathed and was dressed in nothing but a light, translucent white gauze robe.

Her black hair was lazily tied up with a jade ring, and she wore tall wooden clogs on her feet, with her toenails painted rouge, shining like the sweet red cherries on the tree.

Seeing the glint in her eyes as she talked about her nephew and niece,

Wang Yuan’s heart warmed, and he smiled mischievously, throwing the concept of "everyone as dragons" to the back of his mind:

"No matter how cute those babies are, they aren’t as cute as you.

So, uh, sister, I... I want a daughter again."

Just as he thought Huang Wu was going to bashfully call him... daddy, as she used to during their play-acting games,

He saw her playfully roll her eyes at him.

Standing up, she took the jade ring from her hair and let her flowing locks tumble down, coquettishly biting a strand with her lips.

She moved gracefully, leaning on a blooming white porcelain lotus basin against the wall, tiptoeing lightly, and looking back at him.

In this scene, she truly exhibited the charm of swaying dance moves with a fleeting waist, enchanting both in her movements and poise, and casting a beguiling aura.

"Gulp!"

Wang Yuan swallowed hard, almost thinking a second moon had suddenly brightened the small courtyard.

Under the bright moon and cherry tree, accompanied by the chirping sounds and under the stars, his all-knowing sister really did understand romance.

A moment later.

Only the green lotus and red lotus in the basin opened and closed, innocently moving. The ripening cherries tumbling from the tree into the basin shattered the reflections of stars and moon on the water’s surface.
