Chapter 2583
"Xibei is not your and Brother-in-law's biological child?" Zhu Zhibin could not believe the truth was so surprising.
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "Xibei should originally have the surname Zhuge. She is the only survivor of the Zhuge family in the Strategist Alliance. The Strategist Alliance is a unique existence. It can be said that strategists from various planes likely originate from there. The alliance is independent. Xibei's parents were descendants of the Zhuge family in the alliance. Due to an accident, the Zhuge descendants perished. Since we are also descendants of the Zhuge lineage, someone sent Xibei to me. Brother-in-law and I considered it and agreed to take her in."
Zhu Yanyi paused and said thoughtfully, "I originally planned that after Xibei died of old age, Brother-in-law and I would create a new opportunity for her. We would let her reincarnate with a suitable person in the Strategist Alliance, then give her the Strategist Token. She would notify the entire alliance in the future. However, because of her imperial ambition, she cannot achieve this. She cannot inherit the Strategist Alliance. Since our Zhu family is itself a descendant of Zhuge, we can inherit everything related to the Strategist Token. Moreover, the Strategist Token was already in my possession."
"But this Strategist Token has little use for me. I do not need it," Zhu Yanyi looked at Zhu Zhibin and said, "So, I plan to pass the Strategist Token to you. You will take over the inheritance and develop within the Strategist Alliance. Do you want to do this?"
Zhu Zhibin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Sister, do you mean you want me to control the Strategist Alliance?"
"It is not exactly control. It is just letting you develop within the Strategist Alliance. Of course, if you have the ability, that is good too. After all, once the Strategist Token is passed to you, when you take it out, you will be the true leader of the Strategist Alliance. Naturally, if you think the current Strategist Alliance is fine, you can pretend not to manage it. As long as you do not take it out, no one will know the Strategist Token is on you."
After Yan Xibei did those things, Zhu Yanyi had formed an idea. She did not plan to pass the Strategist Token to Yan Xibei anymore, but to Zhu Zhibin. Their lineage was one of the Zhuge descendants. It did not matter who was more authentic. Yan Xibei lacked talent and spiritual roots. Originally, Zhu Yanyi planned to set up her next life, but now she had given up everything herself. Naturally, Zhu Yanyi would not give her the Strategist Token, especially since the current token holder was Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Zhibin was Zhu Yanyi's younger brother. Zhu Yanyi naturally knew Zhu Zhibin's capabilities. Her wisdom was not inferior to anyone's. She just sometimes did not like to use her brain.
Zhu Zhibin thought for a moment and then said, "If I agree, what should I do next?"
"I will pass the Strategist Token to you. Then I will find someone to get a cultivation method suitable for you. Brother-in-law's and my methods are not suitable for you, but someone else has better methods. You can ask him for one. Then, when you reach the Golden Core stage, I will secretly send you to the Strategist Alliance. Of course, I will arrange an identity for you. The rest of the path you must walk yourself."
Zhu Yanyi looked serious. "Cultivation is itself an act against heaven. Although I am your sister, I cannot cultivate for you. Whether you can become an immortal depends on yourself in the end. Whether you can control the Strategist Alliance also depends on yourself. I can only provide the foundation."
Zhu Zhibin naturally knew this. Therefore, after a brief thought, he said, "Sister, I am willing to accept the Strategist Token."
Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. She actually knew Zhu Zhibin would definitely accept the Strategist Token because Zhu Zhibin started cultivation halfway through life.
Zhu Zhibin was already over a hundred years old. The best time to start cultivation for a person is around seven years old. After thirty, bones and ligaments harden, and cultivation progress is minimal. For Zhu Yanyi, she and Yan Aohan were the only two cultivators initially because the spiritual energy in this space was limited. Therefore, Zhu Yanyi had not paid attention to her family members' spiritual roots and talent, naturally missing Zhu Zhibin's best cultivation time.
Although Zhu Yanyi would help Zhu Zhibin in the future, she would inevitably have to put in more effort than ordinary people. Most importantly, her Dao was hard to find.
Since that was the case, it might be better for him to follow his own Dao, the Dao of Strategy, and develop it. It might lead to a good result. Even if he could not become a god, he still had a chance to become an immortal. Moreover, the Strategist Alliance was like a different cultivation world. If he could control it, it would benefit him.
At least, a portion of the karmic merit or power of faith earned by the strategists sent out in the future would belong to him.
So Zhu Zhibin did not hesitate. Since he wanted to cultivate, he would take this path.
And Zhu Yanyi giving the Strategist Alliance matters to Zhu Zhibin settled a worry for her.
For Zhu Yanyi, the Strategist Token was like a chicken rib—hard to throw away, but not very useful to keep. So originally, Zhu Yanyi planned to prepare it for Yan Xibei.
Yan Xizhong's talent and physique destined her to be an absolute Yin Spirit. Therefore, cultivating her as the young palace master in the Yan Palace was absolute. As for Yan Xibei, she could not be left idle in the future. So originally, Zhu Yanyi planned for Yan Xizhong to become the young palace master of the Yan Palace, and Yan Xibei to inherit the Strategist Token. However, in the end, Yan Xibei ruined this opportunity herself.
This was also good. Giving the Strategist Token to Zhu Zhibin was actually better for Zhu Yanyi. At least, she absolutely trusted Zhu Zhibin's character.
After hearing Zhu Zhibin's definite answer, Zhu Yanyi said, "In that case, you should first perform the blood recognition for the Strategist Token." Zhu Yanyi removed her mark on the Strategist Token and handed it to Zhu Zhibin.
Zhu Zhibin immediately followed Zhu Yanyi's instructions to confirm ownership, thereby understanding all the functions of the Strategist Token.
Zhu Yanyi then said, "Let's go. I will take you to draw Qi into your body." Zhu Yanyi wanted to take Zhu Zhibin to draw Qi into her body, naturally going to the cultivation world.
Zhu Yanyi herself had not stayed in the cultivation world, but now she had to send Zhu Zhibin there.
"Before going to the cultivation world, wife, you should first leave your mark on this Kunlun Mountain. Thus, you will be the master of this planet in the future," Yan Aohan said.
Zhu Yanyi did not object. Her spiritual power emerged, and the moment she left her mark, she clearly felt everything on the planet.
"Actually, my feelings for this planet are complex. But after all, it is the place where I was born. I cannot destroy it," Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly.
