Chapter 12613

Zhang Baiyu's expression changed: "Could the true dragon in Father's script be Xu Shaoweng?"

The strategist nodded slightly.

"..."

Zhang Baiyu gasped.

He had heard about the real dragon in the script before. Once the real dragon appeared, their fate would be completely bound to it.

When the true dragon rises, they rise.

When the true dragon dies, they die.

There is no possibility of separating the two, nor is there any room for change.

As the strategist said, once it is confirmed that Xu Shaoweng is the real dragon in his script, the following matters will become extremely troublesome.

The situation will inevitably evolve into one where dealing with Xu Shaoweng is the same as dealing with the strategist.

If it were only the former, Zhang Baiyu would not have any psychological burden in taking action against it.

But if he were to face his father, a master strategist, not to mention whether he was qualified, the key issue would be his mental fortitude, which would be difficult to overcome in a short time.

Most importantly, his father, a master strategist, was a man who could truly see the future!
In other words, standing on the opposite side of the strategist is actually standing on the opposite side of the future!

But he simply couldn't understand how someone like Xu Shaoweng, who was clearly a fraud, could possibly be a true dragon representing the future.

If anyone else had said those words, Zhang Baiyu wouldn't have even bothered to respond.

But it was the strategist who said this.

After a long silence, Zhang Baiyu carefully considered his question and asked, "Is it possible that the future you saw is wrong?"

A strategist cannot make mistakes.

This is the consensus of the vast majority of people in Tianjun. On the contrary, he, the eldest son, although he looked up to his father since childhood, did not have such a filter.

Because he knew that everyone makes mistakes.

Even the strategist was no exception.

To put it more bluntly, from the moment he became a master strategist, he was already on the path of making mistakes.

This is the inescapable fate of every generation of strategists.

"Maybe."

The strategist did not deny it, his tone calm but firm: "In the future I see, Tianjun will usher in an unprecedented millennium of change, and all the events happening now are part of this great change."

Zhang Baiyu's heart sank.

The fact that the strategist said this naturally means that all the events that have occurred so far were actually within his expectations, without the slightest error.

Otherwise, given his father's character as a shrewd strategist, he would have readily admitted his mistake and would never have tried to cover it up.

At least on this point, Zhang Baiyu had complete trust in his father.

The problem is that the more things are verified, the more likely the future that the strategist sees is to become a reality.

The strategist was right, which proves that Xu Shaoweng is indeed the real dragon!

On the contrary, wouldn't Lin Yi, whom he chose, become a false dragon?
The strategist continued, "In the future, someone will end this upheaval. I don't know who he is or what his specific identity is. I only have one clue."

"What clue?"

Zhang Baiyu quickly asked.

The strategist said, "That was a visitor from outer space."

Zhang Baiyu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but frown: "Isn't this clue too broad? The extraterrestrial visitor only proves that he is not a local of Tianjun. Anyone else could be a suspect. Why is Father so sure about this Xu Shaoweng?"

After a pause, Zhang Baiyu added, "Besides, Xu Shaoweng is also a local of Tianjun. He can't be considered an outsider, can he?"

The strategist shook his head and said, "He is not from Tianjun. Neither he nor his parents are. He was abducted by human traffickers when he came to Tianjun."

Zhang Baiyu paused for a moment and said, "That doesn't necessarily mean it's him. Although Tianjun is isolated, if you really count it strictly, there are quite a few outsiders."

The strategist glanced at him: "You mean your guild leader, right?"

Zhang Baiyu nodded frankly: "If anyone can end this great upheaval, it has to be our guild leader. As it stands, he is the only one who has the opportunity to replace the Five Saints of the aristocratic families."

The End Emperor and the End Monster are the same person; this is no secret between the father and son.

According to the strategist, the one who best fits his character profile is none other than Lin Yi.

The strategist subtly revealed: "He is Lin Yi."

Zhang Baiyu wasn't surprised: "That's why he fits the bill."

The strategist shook his head: "He is indeed not from Tianjun, but he is from Tiandao Academy. And the clue I obtained determines that this visitor from outer space and the racetrack god are from the same source."

"The God of the Track?"

Zhang Baiyu was immediately startled.

This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.

Of course he knew of the existence of the track god, but the question was, who knew where this track god came from?

The strategist noticed his confusion: "We don't know exactly where the racetrack god comes from, but we can be fairly certain that it must be related to the divine realm."

Zhang Baiyu did not refute this.

If someone is merely a god-level powerhouse, they may have no connection with the divine realm. However, once they reach the level of gods or above, they will inevitably have intricate connections with the divine realm.

Especially the chief god, who is above all the gods, is the core of the core layer of the divine realm.

Such beings must be absolute direct descendants of the divine realm.

It is almost impossible for outsiders to touch it.

The strategist's deduction is, at least logically, highly likely to be correct.

Based on this deduction, the origin of this extraterrestrial visitor who will determine the future of Tianjun must also be closely related to the Divine Realm.

Zhang Baiyu remained silent for a long time: "So, Father, you've decided it's Xu Shaoweng?"

The strategist nodded slightly: "He is not the only answer, but considering all the signs, he is the most likely correct answer."

Even knowing he's a fraud?

Zhang Baiyu still couldn't understand it.

The strategist calmly countered, "What is true, and what is false?"

Zhang Baiyu choked for a moment.

The strategist sighed, “Some principles are good, but their goodness is only to maintain the order of this world, and does not mean that they are the only correct truth.”

"The scam you see is just a tactic."

"It may not be honorable, but it may not necessarily lead to that destined future."

"We are strategists, not moral gentlemen. As long as we find the right path, it doesn't matter whether it satisfies our personal moral fastidiousness."

Zhang Baiyu remained silent for a long time, then said with some difficulty, "I don't believe the final answer will be Xu Shaoweng."

The strategist smiled and countered, "Whom do you believe?"

"Lin Yi."

Zhang Baiyu's answer was unusually firm.

The strategist continued, "Could it be that you've been prejudiced and are misleading yourself?"

"will not."

Zhang Baiyu remained steadfast.

The strategist remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Since you have made up your mind, then from now on we will each serve our own masters. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Zhang Baiyu lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then slowly and firmly raised his head: "Father, we're alike." (End of this chapter)
