"So, what's the good news?"
"The good news is that even without my participation, the world probably won't end in the end."
"So, Lord Ling, what are your concerns?"
Quadrant adjusted his glasses and said.
Then Tsugami said:
"I know that Ling Jun is worried about me. He said long ago that I am too selfish, so he doesn't dare to hand over the Origin Stone or the future of mankind to me. A perfectionist like Ling Jun knows that the result may be good, but he is also meticulous about the process..."
Ling Wuji interrupted him and said, "You don't have to put it in such a nice way. I just don't trust you, Yan Shenya."
Tsurugi Ya smiled slightly: "But compared to me, is Fei Shiyuan more trustworthy?"
Ling Wu Ji shook his head and said nothing.
"So, if Lingjun chooses not to intervene, you actually have no choice, right?"
Ling Wuji nodded.
"I won't make any promises to you, Lord. In fact, I don't dare to promise anything, not to mention that even if I did, you wouldn't believe it. But if you don't give me the Origin Stone, returning it to Fei Shi Yuan will just bring things back to square one. Lord, I know you well. Smart people like you can accept failure, but they will never accept wasting their efforts. Bringing things back to square one is definitely not your style. Not to mention, Dart won't give you too much time."
"Are you trying to say that you are sure that I will give you the Origin Stone?"
Tsurugi Ya shook his head and said, "What I want to say is, Lingjun, there is actually no need for you to delve so deeply into this matter."
Yes.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Ling Wuji's motivation for getting involved in such matters is pitifully weak.
Obviously, he accepted the position of consultant of Feishiyuan in order to build the sky curtain barrier, and out of the sense of responsibility of that position, Ling Wuji wanted to solve this matter, but he wanted to continue to intervene now, which was simply not worth the loss. After all, whether the Japanese would usher in the end of the world had nothing to do with him, a Chinese? Even if the Apocalypse virus really broke out again in the end, he could protect himself in the sky curtain barrier he built with the "North Dipper Soul Fixing and Prolonging Life Technique". According to his usual attitude, there was really no need to go so deep into this matter.
But he really didn't want to just give the Origin Stone away like that.
Is it because perhaps a third law can be obtained from it?
Ling Wu Ji shook his head.
In fact, he doesn't care that much about the third law or something like that.
"In short, you can go back and think about it first. Dart should give you some time anyway."
"When you say this, it always makes people feel that you have had direct communication with him." Ling Wuji raised his eyebrows and said.
Tsurugi Ya didn't say anything.
Ling Wu Ji thought about it but still didn't make a decision. He just waved his hand, and then his figure disappeared into the wind and disappeared from their sight in a moment.
The remaining people looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, it was Quadrant who spoke first: "Ya, you don't deny his suspicion of you. Are you saying that you really might be able to do something with the Origin Stone?"
"I haven't really gotten it yet, so how can I speculate on my reaction after getting it? But he is right, I am the kind of person who is too selfish and will let selfishness override public spirit at critical moments." Tsuruga Ya said calmly, "In fact, that Lord Ling is more trustworthy than me in a sense, especially to you, Ji."
"What do you mean?"
Ying Manshu was puzzled.
Tsurugi Ya shook his head and did not directly answer his question. He just said, "It's just that for that Lord Ling, the world is either destroyed or saved. He does not consider other options. His ability makes his thinking too extreme. In his options, there is no such thing as maintaining the status quo."
"But isn't it you who has driven things to this point, to a large extent?"
Quadrant just pushed up his glasses and spoke seriously.
"To this day, I am not afraid to tell you that I am actually just afraid that I will be eliminated," said Yan Shenya, "but people like Ling Wuji have never had such fear, so he can have many choices."
Volume 1: The Bizarre Mysterious Side: Chapter 35: The God Killers
"But in fact, even if you don't give the Origin Stone to Tsuchiya, it doesn't mean you have to give it to Heitokiin, right?"
When Aozaki Orange heard that Ling Wuji was actually asking her how to deal with a character of the level of the God of Disobedience without considering her own abilities, she asked him about the general situation. Then when she heard that Ling Wuji was actually worried about such a thing, she said.
"You mean, hand it over to the Magic Association?"
"Although there are indeed people like Gem Master in the Magic Association who can solve the situation, you can't contact him. At your current level, those you contact are just lunatics who don't have the moral bottom line of normal humans. Handing the Origin Stone to them is just like handing the switch of a nuclear weapon to a mad scientist who hasn't figured out the mass-energy equation yet."
"So, the Holy Church?"
"You know very well that he - or rather, He - called Sakura Manami Eve, which shows that He may have a place in the Holy Church. He may even call himself an angel or something. Giving the Stone of Origin to the Holy Church is like courting disaster."
So Ling Wu Ji also shook his head: Apart from those two organizations that have huge influence worldwide, who else can solve the situation?
True Ancestor?
But from common sense, the survival of mankind has nothing to do with those beings that are similar to natural elves. They don’t need to care about such things. It even makes Wu Ji suspect that they are actually the restraining force belonging to Gaia, but they may not have that kind of awareness.
"Did you subconsciously skip over the God Slayer?"
Aozaki Orange said.
"In a sense, handing that thing over to a willful problem child like the God Slayer is more dangerous than handing it over to the Magic Association, right?"
Ling Wuji knew the nature of those people better because he had faced Luo Hao before.
It would be better to give the Origin Stone to Tsuchiya than to give it to the God Slayer.
Even if Tsuchiya Ya would cause trouble at the last critical moment, the result would be just like that. But if the Origin Stone is handed over to a godslayer like Luo Hao, maybe the whole of Japan would be dragged in by her to be buried with Dart.
Although Ling Wuji didn't have much affection for the Japanese who were living a good life, it was really too immoral to do so.
Besides, wouldn’t it be aiding the enemy if we gave that thing to Luo Hao?
"Well, how about giving it to Vauban?"
Aozaki Orange said.
Vauban?
Ling Wuji was stunned for a moment.
Wolf King Vauban, the oldest existing godslayer, is also Luo Hao's nemesis. It is said that these two people are born to be incompatible, and in the legend, this man is looking for the disobedient gods everywhere. If Dart's words are true, giving him the Stone of Origin would not be considered as aiding the enemy, and it could even disgust Luo Hao -
Although the two godslayers have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, the amount of power should not be the decisive factor in determining the outcome.
But the question is, can Dart be called the God of Disobedience?
Although He said that He was similar in nature to those disobedient gods, if Dart's attitude in the end could not be called that of a disobedient god, wouldn't he have provoked Luo Hao and provoked another powerful enemy? Although Vauban might not really take him seriously, if Dart was not a disobedient god, wouldn't the incident have made no progress in the end?
"If you don't want to give the Stone of Origin to Vauban, then what about the Pluto of North America?"
Aozaki Orange said again.
The "Pluto" of North America is one of the few godslayers who is not so willful.
It is said that after he became a godslayer, he was witnessed by others. When asked his name, he used the name "John Smith" just like Kyon. Later, his legend spread, and he was given titles such as "Pluto" by the North American people.
Among the many godslayers, he is the one closest to a normal person.
Other godslayers, such as Luo Hao, are just a tyrant who willfully uses his status to override the mysterious side of southern China. Vauban has always been pursuing a fight with the God of Disobedience. The "Speedy Nobleman" Alexander Gascoigne is an adventurer obsessed with the Holy Grail, and Lady Aisha of India is called the Moving Scourge. The King of Swords is basically a battle maniac similar to Vauban.
Among all the godslayers alive today, perhaps only Pluto is dedicated to eliminating trouble rather than creating it.
To be fair, if Ling Wuji had a connection with him, he would have chosen to flee to North America to seek his protection long ago.
However, the other party did not actually establish a decent organization, so he was at most a nominal co-leader of the mysterious side of North America. Although it sounded similar to Luo Hao's co-leader of the mysterious side of southern China, Luo Hao himself also established an organization called "Five Hells Holy Church" as the executor of her will, while Pluto himself only had a few collaborators.
According to rumors, the other party is a person with a strong sense of justice. Even if Dart does not take the posture of the God of Disobedience in the end, he will still take action. In that case, Ling Wuji will have a way to continue to push the situation forward to solve the problem of the Apocalypse Virus.
"That sounds good, but if I can't get in touch with the level of Bao Shi Weng, then why can I get in touch with the Hades?"
Ling Wuji pondered for a moment, and finally asked Aozaki Orange.
"I said you can't contact Bao Shi Weng because he has a weird personality and has few channels to contact the outside world. His disciples have almost become useless because of him. So if you want to inform Bao Shi Weng about this through the Magic Association, there are too many variables in the process. It is possible that someone will get the news and deceive you to hand over the Origin Stone. As for Pluto, although there is no risk, his collaborators have always had a good reputation and should not be as shameless as those scumbags in the Magic Association..."
Ling Wu Ji's eyes became quite strange for a moment.
"what?"
"I say, Aozaki, you should have come out of the clock tower under the jurisdiction of the Magic Association, right?"
"But they were the ones who identified me as the 'Sealing Designate' and were about to capture me and soak me in formalin."
"The relationship between you two... is quite strange..."
Ling Wu Ji couldn't help but complain.
"Magicians are like this, basically a bunch of hopeless lunatics, with only a few of them still retaining a bit of humanity. But instead of complaining about magicians here, you might as well contact the collaborator of Pluto. As far as I remember, that person should be named Joe Benster, a well-known magician from the good camp in North America."
Aozaki Orange said.
Volume 1: The Bizarre Mysterious Side: Chapter 36: Pluto, Mozi's Five Elements Technique, and Happy Ending
By the way, when Ling Wuji was talking to Aozaki Orange, the Stone of Origin had already been placed at the node of the earth vein by Ling Wuji, and the "Beidou Hehun Zhusijutsu" was used to continuously prohibit it from contacting the outside world - although that is what he said, in fact, the Beidou Hehun Zhusijutsu can only play a role in allowing Ling Wuji to sense Dart's movements. Dart has not appeared yet, so naturally there is no way for him to hear the discussion between the two.
Maybe.
But since the decision had been made, Ling Wuji asked Aozaki Orange for the contact information of Joe Benster, although there were some minor troubles in the process. After all, although Ling Wuji had passed the CET-6 in his previous life, he could only listen and write, but not speak very well. At this time, he suddenly heard the person on the other end of the satellite phone speaking American English, which caught Ling Wuji off guard for a moment. In addition, he had not learned much about the corresponding vocabulary related to the mysterious side in English, so he stumbled in the end and made the person on the other end think that he was actually making fun of him.
However, after Aozaki Touko stepped forward, things went smoothly.
Only half a day had passed when a female magician who claimed to be Pluto's collaborator stepped off a plane at Haneda Airport.
But when Ling Wuji first saw Anne Charruton at the airport, the system popped up a prompt:
"Mozi's Five Elements Technique has been issued"
Mozi...Five Elements...Theory?
Ling Wuji really couldn't understand why the system suddenly gave such a prompt.
He hurriedly flipped through the Taoist scripture in his mind, but then he realized:
This should be the "Mozi Wuxing Ji" described in "Baopuzi Xialan". Legend has it that there are five volumes in total. Later, someone combined the five volumes into one volume, saying that after learning it, one can "fly up and down, hide in nowhere" - that is, you can go anywhere in the sky and on the ground, and you can also "smile and become a woman, frown and become an old man, squat on the ground and become a child, hold a stick and become a forest, plant things and grow edible fruits, draw a river on the ground, and make a mountain with soil, sit and make a kitchen, raise clouds and start fire, and do everything" -
Of course, that is what one says, but to achieve the level of “drawing a river on the ground and making a mountain out of the soil”, a huge amount of spiritual energy is required.
But why?
Why would the system issue this forbidden technique at this time?
Does that mean that the disguise of this magician named Anne Charruton is not enough in my understanding?
However, judging from the fluctuations of her magic power, there was clearly no trace of her using magic to disguise herself...
Ling Wuji carefully examined the white woman with short red hair. There was an intellectual gleam in her pretty face. She was probably still studying for a master's degree in an ivory tower. She was wearing a black leather jacket and leather pants, giving people the impression of a beauty with no flaws.
At this time, Ling Wuji couldn't help but say in his heart:
