"You mean..."

"The Restraining Force, or more precisely, Gaia."

The Winter Saint was speechless for a moment.

If we consider the issue from this perspective, Ling Wuji's statement is simply perfect.

Not to mention that Ling Wuji also said that the fate of mankind should be determined by mankind as a whole. This kind of deus ex machina-like method cannot actually solve any problems. After the right to survival is resolved, will the conflicts among humans regarding race, ideology, and even gender be eliminated?

Problems in development can certainly be solved by continuing to develop, but is this really developed by humans themselves?

"Not to mention, you also said that you lived alone in the castle. How could someone like you who doesn't care about worldly affairs decide the fate of mankind without seeking other people's opinions?"

Ling Wu Ji asked her in a loud and clear voice.

The Winter Saint could only smile bitterly: "So, according to you, I have no choice but to leave here?"

"I didn't say that. You can just stay here and kill time. Maybe one day, the third soul method will no longer be magic, but sorcery. Then this Holy Grail may not be that valuable..."

"And then be treated like an antique?"

Ling Wuji just said nonchalantly: "Anyway, you said that your intellect will not age or grow, so it doesn't matter, right?"

"I want to leave here, and I need you to make a wish for me."

"That's fine," Ling Wuji nodded and said, "Then what wish should we make to transform the Greater Holy Grail into the human being Justissa Rizleich von Einzbern?"

"Is it true that Gaia, as you said, will stop that plan?"

"I don't think the will of this planet will sit idly by and watch you do this."

She thought about it, and finally shook her head: "Then you can just wish for me to get a physical form, and then disintegrate the Holy Grail."

"So simple?"

"Anyway, according to what you said, if the Holy Grail War continues, it will definitely be prevented by the inhibitory force from achieving our goals, and it will not go smoothly in the end. Why should we continue? Not to mention, the Holy Grail War has never been truly successful so far, and I think it is also because of the inhibitory force, right?"

Although Ling Wuji had a strange feeling in his heart, he was happy to see the disintegration of the Holy Grail. Although Ji Moyu was still in this world, and he would most likely achieve Nascent Soul or even Yang God when the next Holy Grail War came, he really didn't want to leave behind such a source of trouble. Although some people might say to move this thing to Japan or something, this thing was like chicken ribs to him. He could do much more with the Sky Curtain Barrier than this thing. Although the root and soul materialization were still beyond his ability now, nothing could be said after a few decades.

So when he heard her say that, although Ling Wuji felt that she was a bit resigned to her fate, he still agreed to her plan.

So he made that wish.

Although he had been thinking before, if she was intelligent, why didn't she make a wish to herself? But then he inevitably got around to questions like Gödel's incompleteness theorem, but in the end it was the Winter Saint who answered the question, saying that she only had the ability to execute, just like the water in a dam, and it was the people outside the dam who could decide where the water would flow.

It is the will outside the Holy Grail program.

At this point, Ling Wuji really didn't have any extra thoughts. He just asked her to go out with him after she got the body. Before he said anything more, he disintegrated the Holy Grail with a sword, and then looked at the rest of the people. He was too lazy to clean up anything. He didn't want to care what would happen to the Thousand Worlds Tree Family, or how the Magician Association and the Holy Church would deal with it. He took off with the wind and rushed towards the east where the sky was already turning pale. He thought that this time he had worked in vain. He originally wanted to meet a few characters in this Holy Grail War to see if he could trigger the system's task.

Volume 4: Where is Penglai: Chapter 39: Follow-up

But Ling Wuji gradually understood a fact:

As his level gets higher, the system sees smaller flaws in him, and thus, the possibility of him being able to trigger the Taoism becomes lower. Up to now, apart from the true users of the five major magics, the only people who can enable him to trigger the system tasks may be the man in the north, the beast, or characters like UO.

Or, when a certain opportunity comes, the great magic that determines the fate of primates will summon the true Grand Heroic Spirit to fight against the disasters in this entire world. At that time, perhaps he will be able to get a glimpse of what the person standing at the top of this world is like?

But to be honest, Liuhe Sword Technique is actually quite buggy.

Moreover, it only took him two years to go from Qi training to Golden Elixir. By the time that opportunity comes, he might already be a real person. Would he still need to trigger any system task?

Ling Wuji shook his head.

Although what he was not satisfied with was actually the current way of traveling.

He originally wanted to get his hands on a magic spell similar to Xiaoyaoyou.

However, seeing that Luo Hao didn't trigger it, he gave up the idea. He thought that after returning, he would expand the sky curtain barrier to all of Japan, and then add a suitable framework to the sky curtain barrier, so that he could use Yu Bu and the earth veins to realize space movement!

……

No one outside knows Ling Wuji's idea yet.

But when the result was passed from Luo Hao's mouth to the Southern Mysterious Side of China, and it was announced that the position of co-leader of the Southern Mysterious Side of China was transferred from her to a certain young man, the outside world was immediately in an uproar. The fact that four godslayers were killed in a Holy Grail War was too unbelievable. Although the fights between godslayers in the past were also excessive, destroying a city and razing entire mountains at any time, but such a result had never occurred. Luo Hao admitted that the Southern Mysterious Side of China had changed its leader. Could it be that a certain young man was the culprit?

As a result, the mysterious side organizations that were originally attached to the God Slayer were suddenly at a loss. Although most of the God Slayers were problem children who acted on their own, there were also some who were extremely charismatic. Some even wanted to avenge their former masters, but they did not think about it. If the rumors were true, since Ling Wuji could kill the God Slayers directly, why couldn't he kill them?

Not to mention that Ling Wuji returned to the sky curtain barrier.

Under Ling Wuji's current Beidou Hehunzhusi Death Spell, the number of people who can survive in the mysterious side will definitely not exceed one hundred. Moreover, Ling Wuji can use this spell continuously without much consumption. In this case, no matter how many people come, they are nothing more than ants to Ling Wuji.

After losing Danic and the Greater Holy Grail, the Thousand Worlds Tree Family had already lost their bargaining chip against the Magic Association. Although the Magic Association's main energy had been focused on wrangling with the Holy Church before, now that the Holy Grail War is over and Amakusa Shiro Tokisada is doing things according to his own will, the Magic Association naturally will not forget why they participated in this Holy Grail War, and took the opportunity to attack and incorporate the Thousand Worlds Tree Family.

A brother and sister who had escaped from Tufalis had no idea what to do next.

After Ling Wu Ji left, the rest of the people naturally did not stay there.

Ji Moyu and Zhao Suyi just looked at each other, then nodded and went east together. Although their direction was the same as Ling Wuji, they did not plan to go to Japan. Instead, they planned to go to China first, and walk around in China before deciding whether to look for Ling Wuji.

Kamiya Kaori is naturally preparing to return to Japan.

As for Irisviel von Einzbern, she was just a supporting role throughout the whole process and in the end she did not have much sense of participating in the reality of the Holy Grail War. Although in fact, except Ling Wuji himself, many people who participated in it had a dreamlike feeling about this Holy Grail War that ended overnight. Even Ling Wuji himself had a feeling that it was not quite real. The only person who truly felt it was the Winter Saint Justisia Rizleich von Einzbern who had gained a physical form.

After she emerged from the Greater Holy Grail, the two androids looked at each other.

After all, seeing each other feels like looking in the mirror.

But in the end, Irisviel recognized the Winter Saint, who was the prototype of almost all androids, and she was very excited to pull her back to the Einzbern Castle. Caster and Assassin had nothing else to do at the moment. They stayed in this world just to see more possibilities, so they followed the two androids back.

For them, the matter has come to an end.

But for Japan, the problems caused by Ling Wuzhi's victory and Kusanagi Godou's death are extremely complicated.

The mysterious Japanese side would never have thought that Ling Wuji would actually kill Kusanagi Godou.

Obviously, he had let him go when they provoked Kusanagi Godou to fight him.

But what's going on now?

Rather, what exactly did Ling Wuji want to do after he killed those godslayers?

He didn't have to kill those people.

There wasn't much deep hatred between him and the God Slayer.

But he did it anyway, what was his intention?

Would he declare his existence to the mystical side, and declare that he was more powerful than the God Slayer? But after that, would he conquer the mystical side of the entire world and make all the magicians, priests, Taoist priests, Yin Yang masters, and other random people kneel before him?

Other people don’t really think about it that much.

But everyone in the official history compilation committee was in a panic.

They couldn't help but be afraid.

They originally thought that even if Ling Wuji could defeat Kusanagi Godou, he would not be able to kill him. By then, even if Ling Wuji really controlled the mysterious side of Japan, they only needed to surrender to Kusanagi Godou, and with the support of Susanoo, the disobedient god hiding in the underworld, they would have at least a way out. But now that Ling Wuji really killed Kusanagi Godou, even if they pushed out Kiyoakiin Ena, the katana-wielding miko, who knows if Ling Wuji would find some clues and chase him directly to the underworld to kill Susanoo?

This possibility may not be impossible.

So after hearing the news, all the people in the official history compilation committee went crazy, and almost everyone was frantically trying to build relationships so that they could have some impression of the people around Ling Wuji before he took action, so that Ling Wuji would let them go.

Volume 4: Where is Penglai: Chapter 40: The Selection

If one wants to make a breakthrough from the interpersonal relationships around Ling Wuji, the best choice is actually Arisa Koubei. After all, in terms of personality alone, this girl is too weak. Although she is the heir to one of the largest chaebols on the secular side of Japan, it is not difficult for the Official History Compilation Committee to find someone with an equivalent identity. Not to mention that in the Official History Compilation Committee, there are many people who regard the chaebols on the secular side as domesticated livestock that can be taken at will. Of course, they also know that Ling Wuji must have made some arrangements with Arisa Koubei, so they just use normal means to negotiate with her.

At this stage in the process, the only option left is of course negotiation.

The essence of negotiation is actually to prepare for the exchange of interests.

Of course, many negotiations will eventually end up breaking down. For example, some diplomatic jargon says that they had a frank conversation, but in fact there were huge differences and no communication. Of course, the current official history compilation committee absolutely dare not let the negotiations break down, so they have to choose to bleed heavily.

They gave up their markets, positions, and connections, and were even prepared to let the stubborn opponents commit suicide in front of her.

If Ling Wu Ji's previous attitude still made them feel lucky, thinking that Ling Wu Ji was a person with some kind of character flaws like Kusanagi Godou, "a gentleman can be deceived by his tactics" because a "gentleman" will abide by their principles that seem too pedantic to outsiders, and Ling Wu Ji's previous actions also had this tendency to some extent. At least Ling Wu Ji would never do such a thing as "punishing without teaching."

So they thought they could use that principle to form a check and balance with the existence of Kusanagi Godou and Ling Wuzhi.

But now Ling Wuji completely reveals the tyranny deep in his character.

No one wants to test the conditions that would lead to such tyranny.

With the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads yet to fall, they could only try their best to strengthen the rope that hung the sword.

But even so, Sayamiya Xin could only hear any specific guarantees from the mouth of that woman who was only a high school student but already exuded a hint of mature charm. She only said that she would tell Ling Wuji their conditions, and whether Ling Wuji would accept them or not, she was not qualified to make a decision for him.

When Sayamiya Xin heard her say this, she was a little dumbfounded.

So she tried her best to persuade Arisa Koubei, saying that there was no need to trouble Ling Wuji to make decisions personally on such matters. If a big shot like Ling Wuji had to handle every matter personally, he would definitely be overwhelmed. And since Arisa Koubei was his close minister, it was her responsibility to help him deal with these small matters instead of bothering him with them.

To be fair, Seri Awashima, who had been using the techniques from the Sky Curtain Barrier to help Arisa of the Shrine in the negotiations, felt that what Sayamiya Kaoru said was quite right.

Ling Wuji is indeed not the kind of superior who would do everything himself.

But the prerequisite is that he will not be unhappy because of their unauthorized actions.

Of course, Ling Wuji doesn’t care about the Official History Compilation Committee at all.

To him, his enemies were nothing more than things that would be crushed sooner or later.

Why should he be bothered by stumbling blocks along the way?

Just a kick is enough.

Now he has no awareness of being the ruler of Japan's mysterious side, nor does he intend to use those under him as a bureaucracy to manage Japan's mysterious side. This attitude of his is not a big problem so far. After all, if he really wants to intervene, others will be reluctant to give up their positions.

But who can blame him for having offended the History Compilation Committee?

No matter what Ling Wuzhi personally thinks, just like the Southern Mysterious Side of China originally regarded Luo Hao as the co-leader, in fact, they did not really need others to step on their heads, but Luo Hao's existence made them feel uneasy. When no one could restrict her actions and she could deal with all the people in the Southern Mysterious Side without having to bear any consequences, she was already the de facto co-leader of the Southern Mysterious Side.

Ling Wu Ji has this tendency now.

Therefore, his current "authority" will naturally radiate to the people around him. Even if he wants to be a free and easy wanderer in the world, there will still be an endless stream of people who want to join his system and use his authority to accomplish things.

Not to mention that Ling Wuji has been using that VR game to break down the wall between the mysterious side and the secular side.

That means he is definitely not a person who will settle for less.

He was bound to do something earth-shattering.

Although Awashima Seri felt that Ling Wuzhi always treated his believers as indifferent, it was because his personal methods were too extraordinary. However, his methods were often only destructive. When he wanted to make some constructive moves, his believers had to act as his tools. Before that, he had to sort out the power structure in his organization.

Fortunately, I can do as Sayamiya Xin said and not let those little things bother him.

After Ling Wuji returned to Japan, summer vacation had not even arrived yet, so he planned to go back to school only for exams, and spend the rest of his time expanding the sky curtain barrier throughout Japan, slaying demons and monsters, and so on. With his current means, leveling the entire Kanto region of Japan is like a piece of cake. He was using Mozi's Five Elements Technique to change his appearance and scare people, ghosts and monsters everywhere, and was having a lot of fun when he suddenly heard Awashima Seri say that, and was stunned for a moment: "How about I make you the Lord of Glamorgan...ah, the High Pope, and let you take full charge temporarily?"

"No, I still have work to do with Scepter 4. If there is a conflict, I won't be able to handle it."

In fact, Ling Wuji felt that her mentality was quite twisted.
