Chapter 369: Chapter 216: This Low-Tier Match Is in the Bag! (Part 2)
Ying Huang tilted his head, looking up at the portraits of various Planet Governors.
Old Li remained silent, the so-called First Overthrow naturally referred to the Vice Marshal’s defection.
It left the position of Void Monarch vacant, distancing New Dongxia from the Four Pillars, and bringing the Netherworld ever closer.
“The nine clans of Dongxia, who hold power to call forth storms and obscure the sky single-handedly, all arrived at the Imperial Capital’s core on the same day. They came with apprehensive hearts to meet the most powerful figure within the galaxy, undefeated for a full six thousand years, the supreme dignitary.
From my father, I learned that Marshal Qin appeared briefly for half a minute and uttered three sentences.
Power achieved through reform should not create new nobility.
The fruits of Dongxia’s six-thousand-year development belong to the populace.
This is both a warning and a notice.”
Ying Huang’s tone gradually became excited, and a hint of fervor appeared on that handsome face.
This troubled Old Li, who would have thought that the heir of the Ying’s first sequence would turn out to be a standard “Rejuvenation Faction” member.
“From now on, the position of Planet Governor will no longer belong to the nine clans. The Battle Group must sever ties with the consortium and comply with the third-party oversight treaty.
Most importantly, the nine clans are caged, becoming a part of the Grand Council, with the first priority being the supervision of the nine clans.
Old Li, compared to inheriting the Ying’s lineage and becoming the patriarch, wouldn’t striving to pursue such a towering figure make life more exciting, more thrilling?”
Ying Huang sighed deeply; his lifelong goal was to ascend to the position of Planet Governor, to be knighted by the Qin Marshal resting in the Celestial Crystal Coffin.
But realizing this vision is more challenging than standing out from the many first-sequence heirs.
“So, Young Master Huang appreciates Qin Shi so much, even persuading the family elders, coming to Heng Province personally.
Is it because… he sees a certain possibility in him?”
Old Li bent over and asked.
“Exactly. The Rejuvenation Faction is too weak to contend with the Old Guard, who have accumulated strength over nine thousand years.”
Ying Huang nodded and said:
“The Rejuvenation Faction doesn’t lack leaders; we have a perfect candidate. But what we lack is a ‘warrior’ to showcase our strength externally. Just like in the past with Marshal Qin and Marshal Yang in the Rejuvenation Society.
Marshal Yang presided over the general situation, while Marshal Qin swept away all obstacles.
I believe Qin Shi will be a great ‘warrior.’
And the most wonderful thing… Old Li, the most wonderful is!”
Ying Huang’s mouth curled into a rich smile, as if flipping through a fascinating storybook, eagerly anticipating its climax.
Old Li raised his head, unsure what Young Master Huang was actually anticipating.
Even though Qin Shi’s talent is exceptional, in Dongxia, there is no shortage of individuals who break conventions and surpass understanding.
Why is Qin Shi held in such high regard?
Because of He Lanchan’s inheritance?
Or the secret about the Vice Marshal?
“The most wonderful thing is that Qin Shi is very closely connected with our perfect leader of the Rejuvenation Faction.”
Ying Huang seemed to be reminded of a certain scenario.
“Just think, Old Li, Marshal Qin and his brother made the whole galaxy aware of how terrifying individuals from the Qin Family can be.
If in the upcoming new era, it’s once again a member of the Qin Family standing at the pinnacle of power in Dongxia,
wouldn’t that be quite interesting?”
Old Li’s face wrinkled into a frown, Qin Shi bore the Qin name.

The perfect leader of the Rejuvenation Faction?
A name suddenly flashed in Old Li’s mind.
“Young Master Huang!”
He was filled with astonishment.
“With my background, how could I possibly muster the courage to rebel against my family?”
Ying Huang chuckled self-mockingly:
“I’m nothing but a docile sheep; without a strong lion leading, how could I stand against a tiger, even if it’s in its twilight years.
Adapting to circumstances has been my talent since childhood, so my willingness to join the Rejuvenation Faction is naturally because I believe this side has a greater chance of winning.”
Old Li’s mind cleared as if lightning had pierced through the fog, fully understanding why the Rejuvenation Faction’s rise has been so swift, and why it attracts so many loyal supporters.
And this quietly spreading ideology wasn’t grounded in grassroots, but from top-down.
“The Crown Prince! The perfect leader of the Rejuvenation Faction is that Crown Prince?!”
Old Li was almost rendered speechless with shock.
Born at Dongxia’s zenith, in ancient times, considered part of the “divine aristocracy,” that group of young individuals.
They’re about to launch an internal reform against Dongxia’s nine clans?
Ying Huang exclaimed with sentiment:
“Those with the Qin name, they are truly formidable people. Old Li, I hope you can stand by my side, rather than continue to represent my father’s will.”
Old Li felt a chill down his spine, as the night wind blew, causing the striking red hair to sway gently.
Ying Huang’s hand fell on the shoulder of the old steward:
“Heng Province has one good thing; whether it’s the Imperial Capital or Hai Province, they’re far from us.”
Old Li felt cold in his heart, realizing the Rejuvenation Faction had a young leader always hidden behind the scenes, who surprisingly was that legendary Crown Prince.
He instantly understood, this is not just a simple rise of new ideas, but undoubtedly accompanied by a greater storm.
If it’s as Young Master Huang suggested, this could be New Dongxia’s Third Shock!
“Young Master Huang, my loyalty to you remains unshaken.”
Old Li quickly expressed his stance.
“Loyalty and betrayal are two sides of the coin, each toss is a fifty-fifty chance.
So here with me, loyalty is the most worthless token. I probably have three spies around; find and eliminate them, and we can continue as before.”
Ying Huang took a step forward, gradually stepping into the shadows.
Old Li’s forehead was dotted with sweat as he stood conflicted for several seconds before revealing a resolute expression.
