Chapter 410 – I Was Tricked!
November 2nd, 191 AD.
Chengdu City
On the walls, purple banners with the character ”Liu” was replaced with ”Khan” as the Xiongnu had occupied the city. Not only Chengdu had fallen, but the entire Yi Province had also been swept by Khan's clone army.
Ma Teng, Han Sui, Ma Chao, and other Ma Clan members contributed to the battles against Liu Yan Army. With the former goddess Liu Yang and Khan's supports, they destroyed the local defenders with their system skills and intelligence.
The Xiongnu force managed to capture and kill the entire Liu Yan's family. However, the majority of his generals, such as Yan Yan and Zhang Ren, had escaped from their grasp.
Khan reevaluated their campaign against the Han Empire. Now, he had occupied Liang and Yi Province, which could match against Tong's territory.
However, his empire's economic strength was questionable. Since Khan relied on his brainwashing skill, [Eye of Domination], he could not bestow them an immortal cultivation manual because it would have canceled his brainwashing skill.
Khan could give Pang De the cultivation technique because he recruited this general without the skill, but he could not do the same to Ma Chao and their clan members.
In addition, his officers lacked domestic management skills. Most generals under Khan had muscle brains, and they were inexperienced in the internal affair.
As such, Liu Yang had her hands full, cleaning the mess that this reincarnated Lu Bu had made.
The former goddess sighed, ”We have to stop expanding our territory for now. We'll concentrate on our economic power, agriculture, and order of the cities. If we don't pay attention to the people, we won't have enough provision for another campaign.”
Khan snorted, ”I have [Create Food]. We can just create everything out of nothingness!”
”Fool! We have expanded our territory, and we can't keep creating food for the people forever. How many lifespans do you think you need to create a year worth of food for over 10 million in population!?”
”…”
”If it's just a million people, you can just waste your lifespans to your heart content. But now, you are the only one who can summon elite soldiers. Calculate a bit, a four-winged angel can cultivate 500,000 to 800,000 years of lifespans a year. It takes 100,000 lifespans to copy 10,000 fodders. How many soldiers can we produce a year? 50,000 to 80,000! But if we concentrate on creating soldiers, we won't have enough lifespans to create food and sustained the population.”
”…”
”Also, food can rot! You can create a million tons of food at once, but you can't store them forever! We have to improve our farmland to make the locals self-sustainable if we want to rule over them in the long run.”
”That's troublesome.”
”And who asked you to raise your banner!? Since you want power, you have to take responsibility!”
”…”
Khan rolled his eyes and ignored Liu Yang. He walked out of the government hall, returning to his courtyard to rest as usual.
Liu Yang was on the verge of raging. She regretted joining Khan's clan.
'I thought this new Lu Bu can get a brain after his death. He doesn't change at all! I don't think his empire can last!'
Currently, only members of Khan's clan were Liu Yang, Han Sui, Ma Teng, and his clansmen. Many officers, such as Li Ru, Li Jue, Pang De, and Guo Si, had been killed in battles one after another, which was a bad sign.
Furthermore, she heard about Redhare Legion that had blockaded their supply route from the Silk Road, which sabotaged their tax income and provision flow.
At this rate, the Xiongnu Army's fragile foundation would collapse soon!
'What should I do to get myself out of this mess?'
As Liu Yang pondered, she recalled her Intel report from the east of Chang'An that Guan Yu had four angel wings. Her face grimaced as her heart filled with rage.
'Fuck you, Lilith. Fuck you, too, Lilim! I want my power back!'
While the former goddess cursed at the mother-and-daughter, Lilim mocked her using the system interface.
>
”Screw you! I won't give you shit! Give me back my power!”
>
”!!!”
Liu Yang's face paled when she heard that Medusa already regained four wings. At this rate, she might be killed by this demoness as soon as the latter regained all eight wings.
”I can't pay a million lifespan. Give me a quest or something. I'll work for you one more time!”
>

Liu Yang screamed, ”How the fuck can I kill any otherworlder!? I don't have a skill or my former strength. Are you out of your mind!?”
The list continued.

Liu Yang was taken aback when she saw the fourth choice. Lilim had simply asked Liu Yang to kill Khan.
”That won't do! An ordinary human can't kill a four-winged angel!”
>
”… You're evil, Lilim!”
>
”I can't do any of them! Don't be overbearing!”
>
>
”!!!”
Liu Yang almost vomited blood when she read the content of the sixth choice.
In Heaven, it was a known taboo that angel and demon should not conceive a child together. A child that was given birth by both immortals would have an abnormal constitution that they could cultivate both angelic wings and demonic wings.
With both cultivation techniques, the new being could potentially threaten the peace and order of the netherworld as the weakest halfling could cultivate at least 16 wings at the minimum! Had the child been a talented one, they could expect someone stronger than Lilith!
Yet, Lilim wanted to break the taboo!
'Something is not right! Why is she asking for this? Isn't she afraid of the creator's retaliation? What about the audience in Heaven? Won't they report this matter to the gods!?'
Liu Yang was drenched in sweat, reconsidering the entire situation and this rebirth game.
>
”Give me some time to think, dammit!”
>
”…”
Killing otherworlders was out of the question, so Liu Yang could not pick the choice number one and two. She did not have enough lifespans, nor could she ask Khan to donate two million years into the clan pool for her. Therefore, the third choice was eliminated.
Disbanding a clan required to kill the clan leader. Since no one could kill Khan, she could not pick this quest.
The only remaining choices were killing ten million innocents or breaking the taboo.
