“Oh, that’s not right!”
Nyarlathotep came back to his senses and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
"He sent it to the wrong place! Why did he leave his foundation behind and send his brain away?!"
"?"
Chapter 266 Modifying the Past
After carefully reviewing it again, Jiang Lu actually discovered some obvious differences from his own memory.
The problem occurred after he was backstabbed.
Because of the clone at that time, the current Jiang Jiesese was poisoned, causing the original body to suffer backlash. Although it was not fatal, it was like catching a cold. His whole body was sore and his spirit was weak. He had no power to resist the sudden situation.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Lu fought for three hundred rounds with the Yin Emperor, who had revealed his ferocious claws. However, because he was worried that the underworld would be affected, Jiang Lu never dared to use his full strength, nor did he have the determination to take a more decisive strategy of destroying himself and himself. In the end, he was unfortunately defeated.
But then, how to deal with Jiang Lu became a difficult problem in Yin Di's mind.
Not to mention that the war had just ended and he had not yet recovered his strength. Even if he was in his prime, he would not be able to do anything to Jiang Lu.
Even if he was lucky enough to control him, the Yin Emperor would not be able to kill him completely.
But dragging it out like this is not a solution. Yin Di is worried that something might happen if he delays. With such a time bomb buried next to him, he will never feel at ease.
What if he managed to escape before he could figure out a way to kill Jiang Lu once and for all? Then, not to mention changing the underworld, he would have no chance of survival.
In desperation, Emperor Yin had to settle for the next best thing and try to seal Jiang Lu.
The sealing technique obtained from the ancient ruins and poison is said to have sealed the ancient evil god at the creation of the world. In Yin Di's opinion, sealing Jiang Lu should not be a problem.
So he did it.
He divided Jiang Lu into one hundred and eighteen parts, sealed each part separately and sent them to different worlds, scattering them all over the universe. As long as any part was missing, Jiang Lu's divine power would be greatly reduced, and he would never be able to return to the realm of the main god for the rest of his life.
In this way, even if after countless years, Jiang Lu managed to recover all his body and make a comeback, by that time, his strength would be no more than what he was before being sealed, and Yin Di was confident that he would be able to surpass Jiang Lu now.
Although he felt a little regretful that he failed and made Jiang Lu lose such an opportunity, Yin Di also knew that this was the most perfect result.
Looking at Jiang Lu, who was dismembered into pieces on the ground, being sent to the altar, he recited the sacrificial text in ancient language, and then used supreme divine power as sacrifices to sacrifice several of Jiang Lu's former capable men in the realm of immortals, and finally succeeded in getting Jiang Lu everywhere.
The Yin Emperor, who thought he had the last laugh, laughed wildly and said, "When we get together, we are a pile of shit; when we disperse, the ground is covered with shit!"
However, little did they know that because they were eager to take over the underworld and maintain stability, they did not have time to slowly replace blood, resulting in that there were still Jiang Lu's diehard fans in Yin Di's camp. On the one hand, they pretended to flatter Yin Di and acted as Jiang Lu's black pieces, but in fact they were the white pieces and lived a life of tricks every day. Finally, they got the chance and found ways to successfully tip off Jiang Lu, telling him that he would be sealed, and even told him the process of the sealing.
Although Jiang Lu had never heard of this kind of sealing method, he was such a genius that he could see the essence through the phenomenon and directly deduced that the principle of sealing was nothing more than breaking the whole into parts. No matter whether it was strength, memory, talent or any other abstract concepts, as long as it was Jiang Lu's characteristics, they would all be dispersed in a concrete way.
In this way, no matter which part is missing, you are not complete yourself, just like a precision instrument. No matter whether it is an important core or just a screw, it cannot operate normally without any one of them. It can be said that there is no solution.
But there is no solution only for others, and as Jiang Lu is the idea king of the underworld, he naturally has a way.
He decided to cut himself up before being dismembered, stuffing all the important things into the same part that could not be decomposed, and then use the secret technique of stealing the truth to give it a chance of reincarnation.
But it is obviously impossible to cram all the characteristics that should be carried by the entire body into one part. It is like going on a trip. You need to make choices about what to bring. It is impossible to cram the entire home into a small suitcase.
So he began to distribute it reasonably.
First, take out everything inside and make enough space.
Next, think about what you want to bring.
Since you are going to be reincarnated, you must have a soul. Otherwise, you will not be yourself after reincarnation, and that would be meaningless.
OK, that's 80% of the space.
In this case, it was difficult to fit other things in. Jiang Lu thought about it and took out some insignificant good qualities, mainly those virtues he had before he became the Lord of the Underworld, and discarded them all.
All the warrior spirit and chivalrous heart should be thrown away.
In this way, the soul only occupies 50% of the space.
Although there is not much space available, it should be no problem if we squeeze in.
Then comes the memory. The shame of today must not be forgotten, so the memory of being stabbed in the back must be brought with me!
This is the firewood that Goujian slept on and the bitter gall that he tasted; this is the big crotch that Han Xin crawled over; this is the cool crotch that Sima Qian felt under when he wrote Records of the Grand Historian!
As for other memories...
Take the illustrated guide to the underworld ghost girl with you. They are important connections and may be useful in the future.
As for cultivation, immortal techniques come in sets, and you can't bring all of them with you, but it's hard to choose if you only bring a part of them, and you can't really practice anything with only a part of them, so you might as well not bring any of them.
That makes it 80% again.
Since I don't have any magic skills with me, I don't need to bring any cultivation skills with me. If I ever need to practice new magic skills, the cultivation skills I already have will become a hindrance, so a blank slate will be fine.
As for talent...
There are so many talents that it’s a bit difficult to choose.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Jiang Lu, who had hesitated for a long time, and shouted:
"I don't want to live my life over again and practice for a hundred years to be a sultry person! This time I want to be open and flirty!"
In the end, he brought with him his acquired talent for being a social bull who was somewhat reckless.
In order to make up for the regret in his heart, Jiang Lu occupied 90% of the space.
It can also bring the same complete characteristics.
Cultivation talent?
NONONO!
You must be lucky. As long as you are lucky, you will have bread and abalone!
Then, Jiang Lu appeared, who had tried hard for many years and even used connections but was unable to join the Exorcist Guild due to his mediocre qualifications. Fortunately, he was not kicked out of the orphanage by the director and left to fend for himself.
"These qualities are so valuable that they must be kept in a safe place..."
After much thought, Jiang Lu stored it in the cavernous body which he thought was used to store memories.
The hippocampus, and even the entire brain, which is supposed to be used to store these things, is now completely empty.
At this moment, all the causes and consequences have achieved a perfect closed loop.
After completing all this, Jiang Lu quietly waited for the sealing ceremony to begin in the nineteenth level of hell, the Land of Nothingness, which was specially created to imprison him at the bottom of hell.
However, he never expected that his perfect plan would go wrong.
At the last moment, Yin Di suddenly had an idea and wanted to keep one part of Jiang Lu for himself. In this way, no matter what, Jiang Lu had to pass this level if he wanted to return to the top, which meant that he would never be able to turn over again.
With a wave of his hand, the Yin Emperor grasped Jiang Lu's evil god foundation and said to himself:
"Today, the underworld has gone astray and fallen into an unjust place, making many enemies. People from all walks of life are resentful and want to punish us, all because King Jianghuo is licentious, tyrannical, and arbitrary. The thing in my hand is the root of the disaster. Today I will leave it here. I hope you will remember this history in the future, remember this tyrant king, who caused our underworld to fall to this point, and take this as a warning, and never follow his old path!"
Seeing this, Jiang Lu, who was sitting on the spiritual river, was stunned.
The most valuable information is all in there. If you keep it, how can I live like this?
So, he exclaimed subconsciously.
Although Nyarlathotep was not aware of all the inside stories, he could tell that Jiang Lu had really discovered something that was contrary to his understanding, and he was overjoyed.
"What? What's wrong?"
Jiang Lu finally reacted and immediately frowned and stammered.
It's not that he didn't want to say it, but he needed to think of a reasonable reason to explain why he knew that the foundation should have been sent out.
No matter how you look at it, it seems that he has no reason to know this, unless he is Jiang Lu himself.
But this must not be told to Nyarlathotep. Even if Jiang Lu really didn't mind conspiring with the people he had persecuted, the other party would certainly not believe it, and there might even be some unexpected trouble.
It's like someone from Auschwitz concentration camp coming to Hitler's house to pay New Year's greetings, which seems a bit ill-intentioned.
Seeing Jiang Lu's hesitation, Nyarlathotep, who was eager to know where to start, asked, "What did you find? Tell me."
"Hmm..." Jiang Lu thought for a moment and said honestly, "I remember that he should have sent out the one in his hand, and kept the other things."
“Are you sure?” Nyarlathotep was still a little worried that he was trying to find a difference and was lying. “How did you know?”
As expected...did you ask anyway?
"Hmm...Have you heard that the previous Grand Marshal of the Underworld was deposed and assassinated because he knew that the Emperor of the Underworld had slandered King Jianghuo?"
"Yes." Nyarlathotep nodded. "Although I have always been in the spiritual realm and I only know about things in the outside world after they happen, I know everything he experienced clearly. I can tell you clearly that your predecessor was assassinated by him. But is there any connection between the two?"
"That's right, am I not the Grand Marshal of the Underworld now?"
Jiang Lu, who borrowed An Dan's body, explained:
"After learning that there was a hidden story behind this incident, I couldn't help but be curious. I secretly checked it out even though I knew it was dangerous. It turned out that I discovered a shocking secret."
"What's the big secret?"
"I found the body fragment of King Jiang Huo, which is the one in his hand. I have seen the items left by King Jiang Huo, so I will never mistake the aura it exudes for King Jiang Huo!" Jiang Lu said seriously: "So I am very sure that this thing cannot be in the hands of Emperor Yin!"
“Oh?” Nyarlathotep’s eyes slightly wavered: “Where is this thing now?”
"I don't know about that." Jiang Lu shook his head: "I was scared at the time. My predecessor was assassinated after finding some dirt on Yin Di. How could I dare to get involved? I was scared away. When I calmed down and went there the second time, I couldn't find it."
"Is it such a coincidence?"
"It's just a coincidence." No matter how he was asked, Jiang Lu insisted that this was the case.
Nyarlathotep narrowed his eyes. “You should know that I can also enter your spiritual river to check.”
But Jiang Lu was not afraid at all.
To be honest, he was a little afraid of being possessed before coming in, but after seeing how Nyarlathotep worked, he found that to completely invade a person's spiritual river is equivalent to ploughing deep into one place, like a parasite, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to enter other spiritual rivers.
Otherwise, why didn't Nyarlathotep control a few more spiritual rivers? Even if he lost the puppet of Yin Emperor, he still had other channels to manipulate things. Why should he be anxious about losing control?
Even taking a step back, why do we need to explain so much to ourselves? Wouldn't it be simpler and more straightforward to just build nesting dolls in our own spiritual river?
As expected, Nyarlathotep was testing Jiang Lu. Seeing Jiang Lu's sincere eyes, he suddenly laughed and said, "It's just a joke. I've told you so clearly. I'm sure you won't risk backlash to deceive me. In that case, let's do as you said and start to correct it from this point."
"So even if he is already the main god at this point in time, but because I am the son of destiny, it is okay to change it, right?" Jiang Lu asked again.
"Yes." Nyarlathotep nodded. "You just put everything back on track."
As he spoke, Nyarlathotep began to teach Jiang Lu the methods and techniques of tampering with memory. He also showed some anticipation: "You should give it a try. This is the first time I have encountered such a special situation. You should be thankful that you are the son of luck and have changed your past through the long river of spirit. Otherwise, although every son of luck will always complete his mission safely during the correction period, the process is very torturous."
"Hmm..." Jiang Lu took a deep breath, stretched out his hands, and began to change his destiny for the son of luck and for himself: "I'm going to do it!"
