Yuan Tiangang was shocked to his core, immersed as he had been in the glory of his own Imperial Observatory, he had forgotten the risks involved. His uncle was right, since ancient times, there had never been an empress. This was truly an unprecedented spectacle, and it couldn't possibly be without the machinations of great powers. Suddenly, he felt as if he had taken a walk on the edge of a cliff and narrowly escaped death.
Seeing his nephew's reaction, Yuan Shoucheng continued, "This matter, I reckon, has reached the heavens, how could we, mere mortals, easily meddle in it? One careless step could result in our complete destruction. You have been intelligent since childhood and a genius in understanding Heaven's Secret, but it is exactly because of this that you have lost your sense of awe. The saying that Heaven's Secret must not be revealed—do you think this came from nowhere? It was a lesson paid for with the lives and blood of our ancestors."
