"The way of the gods is to teach that the gods see through the eyes of the people, and the gods hear through the ears of the people," Ling Wuji shook his head, "but this is the only way for the time being."
Religion is always the product of the weak.
The weak cannot fight against reality, so they fantasize about someone coming to save them. And because the weak gather together because of that fantasy, they have the power to resist reality.
That's why Ling Wuji went to find Arisa of the Shrine.
This kind of person is the easiest to become a believer.
But if Ling Wuzhi's power is only to that extent, then what he can give to Arisa of the Shrine is of course only to that extent.
"After a while, we can see what her situation is, and then we can ask her to help with the authority stratification of the Sky Curtain Barrier."
As for everything else, they are just trivial matters.
As mentioned before, in terms of versatility, the sky curtain barrier is far more versatile than Shinto methods. However, the wool still has to come from the sheep. Beidou prolongs life and determines death. This level of authority is already close to the bottom, and Ling Wuji does not need her to divide it. As for the astrological signs related to wind, there is nothing wrong with dividing it, but if future believers continue to do so, he will have to give them extra blessings.
Maybe I should add a label to myself as a knowledgeable person like Wenquxingjun?
Ling Wu Ji thought.
Then he responded:
Is this girl going to debut as an idol?
……
The world is impermanent.
After the turbulent events of these short two months, it was inevitable that Awashima Seri would feel this way.
As Ling Wu Ji's friend, she witnessed with her own eyes the change in Fei Shiyuan's attitude towards Ling Wu Ji within two months, from kindness to rejection, and finally to defense. Although she was not from Fei Shiyuan's clan, but from Scepter 4's clan, and their king had never had any barriers with Ling Wu Ji, it was just that although Scepter 4 was equal to Fei Shiyuan in theory, it was more like an executive level than a decision-making level. Ling Wu Ji also complained that Munakata Reiji was essentially more like a robot that maintained order and stability.
After Ling Wuji began to use the Stone of Origin to suppress and even cure a large number of people infected with the Apocalypse Virus within the Sky Curtain Barrier he had established, Fei Shiyuan's attitude towards him became strange.
Ling Wu Ji said that maybe they finally figured out his position.
After Ling Wuji said this, Awashima Seri vaguely understood:
At the beginning, in the eyes of Fei Shi Yuan, Ling Wu Ji was just a small alchemist who was expelled by Luo Hao, but when Ling Wu Ji began to show his medical skills, Fei Shi Yuan felt that he could be controlled and began to cooperate with him. But afterwards, the young man set up the sky curtain barrier overnight, and the situation gradually exceeded their expectations. This feeling of being out of control reached its peak after Ling Wu Ji was able to use the Stone of Origin to cure a large number of people infected with the Apocalypse virus.
Although Ling Wuji doesn't really care about the reputation of curing the Apocalypse virus, most of Japan's upper-class families already know the truth.
But at this time, Fei Shiyuan had no way to deal with Ling Wu Ji.
Although Awashima Seri also had doubts, Fei Shiyuan was powerless when Ling Wuzhi first arrived in Japan.
However, this suspicion does not make much sense. After all, Ling Wuzhi had already established a relationship with Reisi Munakata before he even arrived in Japan.
"but……"
Awashima Seri sighed helplessly:
Fei Shiyuan brought Luo Hao's disciples in again. According to Ling Wuji, it was Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone knew it.
Maybe the previous Luo Hao would not care about a little alchemist, but what would he think when he saw Ling Wuzhi grow to this stage?
It's just that the young man was still the same as before, acting as if nothing had happened and not caring about anything, and no one knew what he was busy with.
It's just that there was a period of time when a classmate wanted to enter the IS Academy, and their Scepter 4 had a lot of cooperation with the IS forces, so he should know someone there, so he gave her contact information to that classmate.
So she introduced the girl named Yuuki Asuna to Oriban Chifuyu.
"However, I heard that IS Academy implements a fully closed boarding management system. If you let her go there, won't she feel lonely if she can't be together in high school?"
Ling Wuji raised his head with a look on his face that said, "What the hell are you talking about?"
What does it have to do with her whether I am lonely or not?
"Didn't you say you were the type of person who had a crush on all pretty girls?"
If I lose this beautiful girl, won’t I find another beautiful girl to watch?
Awashima Seri immediately felt that Ling Wuji was indeed a hopeless person. Thinking that he was still pretending to be stupid about the budding feelings of a certain girl, she stopped dwelling on his emotional issues. She threw a piece of sugar into the coffee cup and stirred it. She then said, "Have you heard about the news that Fei Shiyuan is cooperating with Luo Hao's disciple Lu Yinghua?"
"I've heard about it a long time ago."
"So what do you think?"
"How about what?"
"This is the way IS forces cooperate with the mysterious side."
Ling Wuji was surprised: "It sounds like you mean that you, Scepter 4, also want to cooperate with the IS forces? Or do you also want to select clans from the IS forces?"
Volume 2: The Sword of Heaven: Chapter : The Changing World ()
As far as Ling Wuji knew, the IS force had always been the partner of the Non-Time Academy, and the Non-Time Academy was a clan of Changlu Dajue in the Golden Kingdom. The power of the King of Gold represented destiny, and the performance was to maximize the development of the talents of clan members. Of course, since it was talent, it meant there was a bias and emphasis, and the talent required to enter the IS Academy itself was already one in a million—
Although in reality, there is a certain threshold to taking adaptive tests.
But the probability of having both mysterious abilities and IS adaptability talents should be very low.
Therefore, Guo Changlu Dajue did not want to do it, but he felt that there was no point in having one or two of them, so he only cooperated with the IS forces.
But do the clans of Scepter 4 have the ability to see ghosts?
Ling Wuji suddenly became curious.
"No, we can only barely see those demons when we gather around the director. Why are you asking this? Isn't the cooperation between Fei Shiyuan and that Lu Yinghua only required to strengthen the protection of the mysterious side?"
Said Awashima Seri.
"No wonder Munakata, as a king, is so diligent in going out. Is this the reason?"
Ling Wu Ji said with sudden enlightenment.
"You haven't told me why you want to see the devil."
Awashima Seri continued to ask.
"Isn't the goal of their cooperation to eliminate the demons in Japan? But since we can't see ghosts, strengthening the defense of the mysterious side is still in a passive state. I remember that the power of your Scepter 4 tends to be order and stability, which is similar to the form of a barrier, but it still can't solve that problem in essence, right?"
Ling Wu Ji said it casually.
"is it?"
"Besides, the IS troops are highly mobile. With your sword-drawing method, what's the point of gathering a bunch of IS troops together? If they gather together, it's better for Munakata to handle it alone. If they don't gather together, they can't do anything," Ling Wuji shook his head, "It's a bit useless."
Awashima Seri pondered for a moment, then nodded: "You are right."
"If it would be useful, your director would have done it with Guo Changlu Dajue a long time ago. Why wait until today? This is just a sudden idea of yours, right?"
In response to the boy's sharp and almost sarcastic comments, Awashima Seri remained silent.
"If you want me to come out just to talk about this, I'll go back first. I feel like I've been staying in the cafe too long lately, and my mouth seems to have that taste."
Ling Wu Ji complained casually and said.
"Have you been called out recently?"
For some reason, Awashima Seri suddenly became concerned about this issue.
From what she knew about Ling Wuji, he would rarely take the initiative to ask people out.
"Oh, that's the one I asked you to introduce before."
"is it?"
Upon hearing this answer, Awashima Seri seemed relieved, but she also felt that there was some subtle feeling lingering in her mind. She didn't want to think about it anymore and just asked, "So, according to you, Lu Yinghua and the others have a chance of success?"
"I don't know, maybe," Ling Wuji shook his head, "But isn't their main purpose to suppress me through Luo Hao? The cooperation is probably just an excuse."
"So do you have a solution to the IS problem?"
"You've put the cart before the horse, haven't you? They just want to find an excuse to bring in external forces like Lu Yinghua to suppress or check me, instead of really trying to solve the problem. Besides, if I solve the problem, won't it actually put pressure on the Non-Time Academy again?"
Awashima Seri hesitated for a moment, then suddenly dropped her usual businesslike tone and said softly, "But whether you do it or not, isn't it still putting pressure on the Non-History Institute and the Official History Compilation Committee? Some people think that you will dominate the entire Japanese mystical side sooner or later, so why can't the process be accelerated? You solved that problem, which is a good thing both publicly and privately, right?"
"Apart from making me work overtime, I don't see any benefit to me," Ling Wuji shook his head, "and I'm not a godslayer, so I don't deserve to be in charge of the mysterious side of Japan."
"But if you do that, at least it will allow you to win over the IS forces?"
Ling Wuji immediately raised his eyebrows:
How come this statement is a bit like what Lu Yinghua said? Moreover, as someone who came from the Slate System, what she meant was that she was actually encouraging him to deal with Fei Shi Yuan?
"I don't think I'm a mysterious person. In my opinion, I'm just a civil servant."
"A humble public instrument?"
Ling Wuji made a complaint.
"How could Japan's current system produce a civil servant like Humphrey?" Awashima Seri was a little surprised, as if she was surprised that someone of Ling Wuji's age would watch that kind of sitcom, and then she said calmly, "However, when I say I'm a civil servant, I actually just feel that I don't understand anything mysterious. I only collect materials and organize countermeasures when I need to, and I use the power given to us by the director, but that kind of power is no different from the pistol equipped by the police. I don't know if you understand, it's just..."
"Your power comes from the duties given to you by Munakata, and considering your duties, you hope to see a more stable Japan, so the power from the stone slab is not necessary for you, right?"
Ling Wu Ji also said calmly.
"Although I don't know why you equate dealing with the Heiji Institute with destroying the stone tablet system, I really don't care about the gains and losses of that kind of power. Since the Heiji Institute can't completely solve the current chaos in Japan, then why can't I put my hope on you?"
"As an outsider, should I say I'm deeply honored?"
"I thought we were friends for a long time."
Ling Wu Ji pondered for a moment and shook his head: Completely end the chaos on the mysterious side of Japan?
Is that really possible?
Anyway, Ling Wu Ji didn’t think he could do it.
"Instead of having your hopes in me, you should hope that Japan will produce a godslayer someday. Then..."
Ling Wu Ji thought of that group of people who were basically problem children, and stopped talking again.
Even if there was another godslayer in Japan, it would probably only make things more chaotic, right?
Seeing that the boy was still indifferent and absent-minded, Awashima Seri immediately tightened her face and wanted to scold him like she scolded her subordinates in Scepter 4, but in the end she didn't say anything and just quietly stirred the coffee in front of her.
Ling Wuji looked at her and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing to say, so he was about to get up and walk out. But at this moment, an uninvited guest pushed the door open, took a quick look, and quickly walked up to them, then stretched out his hand to the boy:
"Nice to meet you. I am Sayamiya Kaoru, the director of the Tokyo branch of the Official History Compilation Committee. Are you Ling Wuji?"
Volume 2: Yitian Wanli Xu Changjian: Chapter 9: Official History Compilation Committee
The visitor was a girl with short hair and glasses, probably in high school age. Her face and dress were rather androgynous, the kind of beautiful boy that girls would think walked out of a girl's comic. But when Ling Wuji heard that she was the so-called Tokyo branch director, he turned his head and looked at Awashima Seri, and thought of her words about civil servants and the Japanese political system, he immediately started to complain:
"Come to think of it, as the Blue King, Munakata is just a department head, right?"
