If it were an ordinary sealing, these things indeed wouldn't need to be considered.

It would only be necessary to maintain the state of "not knowing who you are, not knowing where you are, only knowing to go on a killing spree."

But now it's clearly different.

"This place is too small, so small that even if you could continue to delve deeply, many materials and resources cannot be replenished.

It's like you're trapped in this tiny world, so many things you won't be able to do.

Even passing down knowledge, teaching, there will eventually come a day when it's all taught.

We can't always have you endlessly teaching wave after wave of people without end.

That would be too... cruel."

Yu Ziqing understands too well, if this situation continues for long, it becomes a torment worse than death, far too oppressive.

Mo Huitou, upon hearing this, had an unusual look in his eyes. He picked up the teacup, sipped his hot tea, and exhaled deeply.

He glanced at Bai Shan beside him, whose face was cold, smiled, and calmly said.

"There are indeed not many resources here, but I believe His Majesty should not be stingy with some materials.

I can drink tea, can write and carve on the golden book, so naturally, I can also use the resources His Majesty brings in.

These days, I am learning from the Classics His Majesty brought in, learning the writing and runes of future generations.

There is indeed a great difference, many rituals cannot be directly used in the future, and the materials once used are no longer obtainable.

To reuse them, one must adapt to change and make alterations.

There is much I can do.

Bai Shan, although not skilled in these matters, is quite formidable in combat and fighting.

I believe that while some experiences may become outdated, some are certainly still valuable.

I actually haven't thought that far ahead, but His Majesty has.

That's because His Majesty is clearly different from previous Emperors Dui, it's clear to see His Majesty is a benevolent ruler.

So I only ask His Majesty, if there comes a day when we feel it's time to be liberated, that His Majesty allows us to disperse and not restart.

But before that, His Majesty must understand one thing.

Mo Huitou set down his teacup, smiling.

"Anything we do now, it's really just because we want to.

Call it serving for Dadui, or serving for His Majesty, it's all the same.

Or even say we just don't want to vanish yet, or still want to do unfinished things, that's also correct."

Yu Ziqing lifted his teacup, feeling somewhat relieved.

"I don't like drinking wine, so I'll use tea as a substitute for wine, a toast to you both."

Yu Ziqing left behind many Classics and also had the Deceitful Ghost deliver a large batch of various materials for Mo Huitou to experiment with.

Mo Huitou did not want the transmission of rituals to simply be transmission, just something for Yu Ziqing to understand.

Many materials are gone now, for instance, the extinction of giants means that some resources produced by giants have completely disappeared, affecting several strong rituals that can't be performed.

Previously, in a normal sealing, Mo Huitou would not think of these things; there was neither the opportunity nor the time.

Once the time came for the sealing to restart, the research he had done might vanish, and he would have to start over.

After all, not everything can be recorded perfectly, like that vague, indescribable inspiration that can't be clearly described.

Forgotten, they might be gone forever, never to return.

Now he wants his most skilled rituals, those that have been lost, to keep up somewhat with the pace of the times.

When Yu Ziqing left, Mo Huitou and Bai Shan sat facing each other, both still drinking tea.

"In our era, tea was not this kind of thing, nor was it consumed in this manner." Bai Shan muttered in a deep voice.

"I know, but I've never commented on such matters.

Like I've never asked how this His Majesty, without the bloodline of the Emperor Dui, ascended the throne.

In the Classics I requested, I didn't ask for any historical records either.

I also know what you're worried about.

But I believe in what I see with my own eyes, what I feel.

I can feel that Dadui is extremely weak, to the point of near collapse.

Yet I also feel that when this His Majesty approaches me, it's as if Dadui itself is approaching me.

Can you understand that feeling?

It's not us moving towards Dadui, but Dadui moving towards me, extending a hand.

In my era, I was never well-regarded.

I believe, during my life, I never awaited this moment to arrive.

You, unlike me, as Prefectural Governor, not versed in rituals, might not feel as deeply."

Mo Huitou's tone carried a hint of indescribable emotional fluctuation.

Bai Shan was silent, not refuting, and after a moment, he softly said.

"I am a crude man, besides fighting, leading soldiers into battle, even this role as Prefectural Governor, I've performed poorly.

If not, such disasters wouldn't occur here.

I do wish to know what happened that led this His Majesty to ascend the throne.

But it doesn't matter now, he is indeed different from the Emperor Dui we served.

And certainly different from future ones.

At least he doesn't think that our current situation, continuing to serve and work for Dadui, is taken for granted.

He doesn't see our current state as an absolute good either.

He can even understand before us that one day, death is also what we desire.

He will promise to align with our wishes as well.

You're right, he is indeed a benevolent ruler.

Even if I can't achieve great merits, continue to lead soldiers into battle, I feel having such a His Majesty is quite good.

Though this His Majesty has, from beginning to end, never ordered me to do anything, which I'm quite unaccustomed to."
