Chapter 166: Ignorance of Paradise

Chapter 166: Ignorance of Paradise
The weather at sea is complex and changeable, and the influence of extraordinary factors has pushed up the upper limit of the weather.

At this time, Ash was caught in a powerful weather disaster, a tornado, whose strong wind was enough to tear steel into pieces.

But for Ash, this was just like a gentle breeze on his face.

Tornadoes thousands of meters high connected the clouds and the sea, stirring up the ocean water. There were not just one but thirteen such tornadoes.

Ash admired this spectacle that ordinary people in his previous life would never have been able to appreciate up close.

Suddenly, the eyes in molten gold looked towards a certain place, and there was a hint of something strange in them.

With one hand he grabbed in mid-air a man in linen clothes with pointed ears.

"How could an elf, a wood elf, appear here? And, this kind of spiritual light."

Ash looked at the elf in his hand. Within the sight of [Fire Eyes and Golden Pupils], this elf was almost 90% glowing with pure white light, and its kindness was even stronger than that of Sister Yueban.

You should know that in his concept, killing is evil, whether it is killing a person, killing a pig, or stepping on an ant; having desire is evil, whether it is lust, greed, or just appetite.

That is why he does not believe that there are purely good people in the world, because even saints have desires.

With a magical glow in his hands, Ash woke him up.

The man woke up slowly and looked at Ash with a black mask on his face with some confusion: "Did you save me?"

"Yes." Ash nodded slightly, "How did you, a wood elf, end up at sea?"

He remembered that the elves' sphere of influence should be in the Central Region, and there were rarely any traces of elves in the Eastern Region.

Just because of the beauty of each elf, they were naturally sought after and hunted by slave traders in this barbaric feudal era when most countries were still in the barbaric feudal era.

"I don't know either. I was washing clothes by the river and accidentally fell into the river. In the blink of an eye, I was in this watery place." The wood elf looked at the dim environment and the roaring wind around him, and his body trembled as if he was afraid.

River? Ash narrowed his eyes. There was not even an island within a hundred miles, so where would the river come from?

Moreover, the word used to describe this place is “a place full of water”. Shouldn’t anyone with a little common sense know that we are in the sea?

"This is Dongyuan Sea, don't you have any impression?" asked Yaxiu.

The wood elf shook his head honestly: "I have no impression. And what is the East Abyss Sea? Why have I never heard of it?"

Ash looked at the wood elf and asked, "How old are you?"

"Twenty-one years old." said the wood elf.

Weird! A faint light flashed in Ash's eyes, because the elves are famous for their immortality, and even the lowest-level wood elves have a lifespan of 400 years.

At the age of twenty-one, one is only five or six years old as a Homo sapiens, and there is no way that one can grow to adulthood.

Both his intuition and the calm spiritual light told Ash that the wood elf in front of him was not lying.

"What's the name of your village?" Ash asked.

The wood elf said: "Taoyuan Village."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ash's pupils contracted. Ignorance of paradise?

The Ignorant Paradise, he had read one of the neon adult visual novels related to this world in his previous life. It tells the story of the protagonist Takumi Furukawa who bought a banned book in a bookstore that was said to be restricted from dissemination.

Then after reading the book, he was transported to a place called Taoyuan Village, where he found out there was no concept of sex, and he was the only one who understood it.

Moreover, everyone in the village is an elf, the men are feminine and handsome, and the women are enchanting and sexy.

Among a group of innocent, big, and beautiful elf girls, the protagonist, as a normal man, soon developed evil thoughts. He was passive once, tentative twice, and active three times.

Taoyuan Village soon became his den of prostitution.

However, there is obviously nothing in the world that is naturally unreasonable. In the end, the male protagonist was squeezed to death, and a man in black appeared and said, "The pursuit of pleasure is indeed the nature of intelligent life."

Clearly, everything here is part of an experiment.

Among the four visual novels, The Ignorant Peach Blossom Land is the most difficult to find because there is no external information at all. If it weren't for the official setting being in the Enhui world, Ash would have thought it was an independent visual novel.

I didn't expect that by such a coincidence, the clue would come to me.

But is it really a coincidence?
Ash looked at the wood elf in front of him with a hint of deep thought in his eyes, because if he guessed correctly, the mastermind behind this experiment should be Tzeentch.

Facing this evil god who is said to be at the pinnacle of wisdom, Ash is absolutely wary. Although he has a high level of comprehension, it does not mean that he is good at conspiracies and intrigues. After all, wisdom and IQ are two things that complement each other but are independent of each other.

Ash clapped his hands and knocked the wood elf unconscious.

The second body emerged, with his palm pressed on his head, and he was using magic to read his memory.

After reading the memory, the wood elf disappeared, and Ash teleported him away because he would not bring him with him, otherwise he would probably be discovered by Tzeentch's Chosen One behind the scenes as soon as he sneaked in.

[Blood Relatives Pursuit], [Omen of All Things]

Holding a drop of blood from the wood elf in his hand, Ash activated two skills in succession.

'found it. ’

Using his power, Ash hid himself between heaven and earth, and with his [Fire Eyes and Golden Pupils] activated at full power, he soon found a space crack somewhere.

Without hesitation, Ash rushed in.

The sky and the earth suddenly became bright. Ash was standing on a river, and the space crack behind him was disappearing.

Ash didn't care about this. After all, it was easy for him to leave.

Continuing to remain hidden, Ash flew high into the sky, overlooking the demiplane.

With his eyesight, he could naturally see the village located in the mountains and forests.

Just like in the visual novel, the female elves here are dressed as lewdly as the most vulgar bitches, and most of their underwear styles are breast caps.

'But it seems like it's just in time, the story is just beginning.'

Ash's eyes moved to the edge of a pond, where a man and three women were talking. Although reality was different from 2D, he still recognized that these four were the male and female protagonists of the Ignorant Utopia because of their distinct features.

Judging from the scene, it was the time when the male protagonist had just entered Taoyuan Village.

Looking away, Ash flew towards a shrine.

Asakusa Shrine, the second heroine is the shrine maiden here, but the visual novel does not specifically indicate the purpose of the shrine. Even the name of Asakusa Shrine was not known to Ash until he saw the doorplate.

Ignoring the formation used for warning, Ash has reached the deepest part of the shrine.

There is a statue of a fox with nine tails enshrined there.

Gemstone Type: Golden-haired Jade-faced Nine-tailed Fox
Ash thought so suddenly.

There is a causal connection between him and it, so much so that when Ash saw the statue, he was certain that it was it.

The nine-tailed fox with golden hair and jade face was a powerful demigod who tried to ascend to godhood without relying on the throne in the Bronze Age. However, the result was as mentioned before, it failed and turned into a divine evil, so that all nine tails were separated, suppressed and sealed.

The Blue Thunder Pearl that Ash snatched away came from the Araki family, who were responsible for guarding One Tail.

However, the last orthodox descendant was killed by him, and no one knows what the seal is like now?
Ash shook his head slightly and looked at the core of the statue, where there was a blood-colored stone.

The Killing Stone, this was Ash's first thought. After all, in his previous life, because of the Internet, some of Japan's famous stories about gods and ghosts were introduced to his country.

When talking about Japan's nine-tailed fox, one naturally thinks of the Killing Stone.

"According to what they say, the Killing Stone contains the demonic power and soul of the Nine-Tailed Fox. I don't know if it's true or not?"

Ash didn't reach out to take it. He noticed that this killing stone should be the core of this demiplane. Taking it away might cause it to collapse.

Even he was unwilling to try the space turbulence caused by the collapse of the half plane, let alone other residents in the village.

Although they were artificially created good people, they were still good people after all, and letting good people die for no reason went against Ash's long-held principles.

Ash left the Asakusa Shrine and came to a tall flower, which was the key to the village's survival.

According to the introduction in the visual novel, as long as a loving couple puts scattered parts such as eyelashes or skin in, a new baby will be born in just one month.

"A demonic version of cloning technology," Ash commented.

After being influenced by more than 100,000 books, Ash's knowledge reserves are quite extensive. With the help of [Fire Eyes and Golden Pupils], he understood 70% to 80% of the technical principles contained in this flower at once.

Only the forbidden mages under Tzeentch can come up with this kind of technology. Otherwise, neither the Church of Mother Earth nor the Church of Truth will let go of these souls who blaspheme life.

If he guessed correctly, there were probably only about the same number of people as there were at the beginning of this village.

As for the idea that true love can give birth to a child, only these good villagers who can't even lie would believe it.

No wonder these elves grow so fast, something must have happened to their genes, or their bloodlines.

After looking around, Ash did not find the secret mastermind.

"Then we can only let him come out on his own." Ash looked at Furukawa Takumi who was talking to one of the heroines, Nina.

"You two haven't mated yet. Ahem!" Takumi Furukawa suddenly fell to the ground.

This startled Nina: "Hey, hey, are you okay?"

"Doctor, doctor, treat him quickly."

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

And the culprit was watching right beside them.

Anyway, he is a villain, so it’s no pity if he dies.

He directly bestowed "death" on Furukawa Takumi in concept. From the moment he fell to the ground, he was already dead and could not be saved. Even if someone cast a resurrection spell, it would be useless.

Not to mention that there is not even the concept of spiritual practice here.

Ash glanced at the villagers. Their levels were all very low, around level ten on average.

Only a few with good talents can level up just by breathing, but the highest level is no more than 30.

A man in black suddenly appeared beside Takumi Furukawa's body. He frowned as he looked at the dead Takumi Furukawa. He didn't expect that the experimental material would die so quickly.

It’s strange, the material this time should be in very good health, so how could he suddenly die?

Just as he was about to check Takumi Furukawa's body, a hand suddenly clapped down.

Snapped!
With his bones and muscles shattered, his magic power suppressed, and his mind in a daze, the man in black was suddenly in a state of being powerless.

The second body emerged, and its palm changed into a knife, stabbing directly into his head and began to search his memory.

Naturally, Ash would not be as gentle to this kind of evil god's lackey as he was to the wood elf before. In order to better read his memory, he directly touched his brain at a negative distance.

boom!
The black-clothed man's head exploded directly. Ash was not a person who would waste time. A dark golden flame ignited, purifying all the blood and the black-clothed man's body around him.

After swallowing the flame, Ash felt that his "experience bar" had advanced another big space.

"This time I should be able to level up two or three more times."

Although some secrets were not uncovered in the end due to restrictions, it was enough for Ash to know the origin of this person.

Onmyoji, the real ruler of Fuso, this man in black comes from there.

According to the looted memories, his status was quite high. He was one of the Thirteen Imperial Envoys, only below the three Holy Masters.

"Has it been secretly corrupted by half?"

Ash checked his memory and raised a brow.

"That's fine. This way, we don't have to find any excuses. We can just go and kill them directly."

The Onmyoji was originally his target this time. After all, it was the organization responsible for suppressing all supernatural activities within the territory of Fuso, and it must have the most knowledge about formations.

Looking at the panicked elves, Ash clapped his hands, and in the blink of an eye, they all fell into coma.

According to the memory of the man in black, he also knew the purpose of these elves. In addition to serving as subjects of human experiments and occasionally being sold to the powerful as playthings, their biggest function was to serve as nutrients to keep Asakusa Ruri alive.

And Asakusa Ruri is the name of the golden-haired, jade-faced nine-tailed fox.

As a powerful demigod at the time, when she attacked the true god, she naturally left herself a way to survive.

She succeeded but also failed.

What she did successfully was that she managed to keep her soul alive, but what she did fail was that her backup plan was discovered before it was completely successful.

In this way, this famous demigod became the core of a demiplane.

According to the wishes of the mastermind behind the scenes, he actually wanted to build this place into a complete small world, but the experiment failed. Even the status of the golden-haired, jade-faced nine-tailed fox was not enough to support the existence of a world.

Later, this place became a new experimental site, used for some dark and secret experiments that could not be made public.

Ash teleported them away and returned to the depths of the Asakusa Shrine.

This time he had no scruples and smashed his fist on the fox statue.

Dense runes immediately appeared on the fox statue, interweaving like a spider web, together resisting Ash's attack.

They followed.

'It's pretty hard.'

Ash clenched his fist and smashed down again. This time he didn't just rely on his physical body, he also used his fighting spirit to support it.

boom!
There was a loud explosion, the runes broke into pieces, and spider-web-like cracks began to appear on the stone statue.

Wow!

The rubble fell, leaving only a blood-red stone, which looked like a miniature version of the statue, remaining in mid-air.

The seal was broken, and an unbridled evil aura began to bloom. The surrounding objects began to "die". Their "life" had been absorbed by the killing stone.

Ash watched the Killing Stone absorb the power of this demiplane. Since he couldn't use it anyway, he might as well let it absorb it.

The ground began to tremble, the sky grew dark, and the demiplane was dying.

As this half plane was dying, the Killing Stone began to grow, gradually growing from the size of a fist to the size of a basketball.

At this time, Ash grabbed the Killing Stone in his hand.

"The humble Homo sapiens."

A vicious and anxious voice sounded, but before she could finish her words, her consciousness was shattered by Ash's sword intent.

"Noisy."

Ash held the stone in his hand and said expressionlessly.

The reason why they were dispersed instead of completely destroyed was because he was quite tempted by having one more demigod subordinate.

However, he did not want to have another evil person under his command, so he naturally could not let this consciousness grow stronger.

According to memory, the resurrection of the golden-haired, jade-faced nine-tailed fox is divided into three independent but combinable parts. One is the Killing Stone which contains the concept of evil. The reason why the elves here are so kind is because their "evil" is absorbed by the Killing Stone.

The second is the Life Knot, a unique knot that contains the concept of goodness. Those who wear it can live a hundred years, and doing more good deeds can also improve their strength.
The third is the nine tails, each tail representing a part of the self.

Whether it is the Killing Stone or the Life Knot, when accumulated to a certain level, the Golden-haired, Jade-faced Nine-tailed Fox can be reborn through it, and they can both devour the remaining Nine-tailed Fox or the other party to further improve their own existence.

When all three were gathered, the golden-haired, jade-faced nine-tailed fox was reborn.

In order to make his subordinates have better personalities in the future, Ash naturally has to suppress the Killing Stone.

'It's time to go.'

Ash glanced at the space cracks that could be seen everywhere. He would feel very troubled if he was trapped in the space turbulence, and he didn't know where he would be teleported to. He didn't want to waste time.

With a chop of his hand, a space crack next to him widened, and Ash walked over.

The next second, the dim sky became bright again.

Ash stood on solid, immovable ground again.

With his spatial sense activated under the future vision, Ash knew that he seemed to have been teleported more than a thousand miles, and judging from the distance, he should have arrived in the territory of Fuso.

Space is really a wonderful realm. Ash couldn't help but sigh. It was just a transfer station, but in the blink of an eye he was thousands of miles away.

Looking at the Killing Stone in his hand, Ash kneaded it with both hands.

Although it looks like stone and its name contains the word "stone", its actual material is something like silicone. Combined with the fact that it represents part of the character of the golden-haired, jade-faced nine-tailed fox.

During the kneading process, Ash couldn't help but think of a word, personality suspension. He couldn't think about it too much, otherwise it would be a bit too lustful.

After the kneading was completed, the Killing Stone, which was in the shape of a nine-tailed fox just now, had been kneaded into a simple scabbard.

Ash thrust his sword in.

(The scabbard is a very proper scabbard, and the sword is also a very proper sword, it is unique, not a big treasure sword, don’t think wrongly, dog head.jpg)

This thing is considered a living thing, and it cannot fit into the space ring, but carrying such a large thing around is indeed quite eye-catching.

That's why Ash molded it into a scabbard and asked Du Yi to suppress it.

Otherwise, if you let it absorb greedily along the way, it won't matter to you, but the animals and plants along the way will probably die.

　I was too sleepy yesterday and overslept. Sorry.
