Chapter 323: Master of Tianji Pavilion (72)
Seeing Chi Yang's calm expression, Yan Qing was not so worried anymore.
After saying that, Chi Yang was silent for a moment and then talked about other things.
"When we were in the upper realm before, we felt the adults coming to the small world. Did something happen?"
Yan Qing's expression became a little dull, and he started talking to Chi Yang about Zhan Yun and Wang Shu.
Finally, she sighed and said, "X6888 is Zhanyun's system."
Chi Yang raised her eyebrows, with an unclear look in her eyes. She said softly, "Ah Qing, you really are... as soft-hearted as ever."
In the Space-Time Administration Bureau, perhaps because they have seen too many separations and deaths, and the ups and downs of life and death, most of these taskers have a cold personality and a sense of indifference in their bones.
To the people in the small world, it is no different from looking at flowers and plants.
If there hadn't been an adult and 001 in charge, the Spacetime Administration would have been in chaos long ago.
Even Chi Yang himself, as he traveled back and forth in these countless small worlds to complete tasks, a violent feeling accumulated in his heart.
She only suppressed it out of consideration for the adults, but in her little world, she was much more indifferent and there were few things that could touch her.
Only A-Qing is the same as when we first met.
Whether in the small world or in the Space-Time Administration, Aqing could choose to stand idly by on many things, but she just couldn't bear it and was determined to help even if it took a lot of effort.
Just like this time.
Ah Qing could have clearly continued along the original plot, so why bother with anything else?
However, after seeing the ending of Wang Shu and Zhan Yun, Ah Qing felt a lot of reluctance...
Chi Yang sighed deeply in his heart, and then felt relieved.
Fortunately, Ah Qing has not changed, otherwise no one would come to the small world to rescue her...
Yan Qing was of course unaware of Chi Yang's criticism.
She smiled lightly: "After this small world ends, Zhan Yun can go to other small worlds to complete tasks and accumulate merits."
Chi Yang asked, "I have escaped now. What else is missing for the final plot? Do you need my help?"
Yan Qing's smile faded a little.
"In the original plot, as long as five Mahayana monks were willing to sacrifice their souls, the Immortal Ladder could be rebuilt. However, with the Hope Technique in front of us, plus me and Zhanyun, only two Mahayana monks are needed."
"After the Immortal Ladder is built, my story will be completely over, and I can leave this small world."
Seeing Yan Qing worried, Chi Yang frowned and asked, "Among those Mahayana cultivators, is there anyone who is unwilling to sacrifice his soul to rebuild the Immortal Ladder?"
Yan Qing shook his head: "That's not the case. They are all outstanding geniuses of their generation. They have great righteousness in their hearts. None of them has ever backed down..."
Hearing Yan Qing's appreciative tone, Chi Yang interrupted with a rare expressionless face.
"Ah Qing, this is the mission they must shoulder."
Yan Qing intertwined her fingertips for a moment, knowing that Chi Yang understood her thoughts.
She sighed softly and said bluntly: "They shouldn't die here."
Chi Yang was indifferent: "But there is no better way, right?"
Yan Qing was silent for a moment, then she raised her eyes with a firm look: "No, there is another way."
Chi Yang looked at her without saying anything, but waited quietly for Yan Qing to tell him the method.
"What the Immortal Ladder really lacks is power, a power that can make it recast successfully. In the current world of cultivation, that power can only be supported by five Mahayana cultivators dying and supplying their spiritual power to the Immortal Ladder without reservation."
"Yangyang, if I can unlock a portion of my power and convert that portion of my power into the energy needed for the Immortal Ladder, they won't have to make those unnecessary sacrifices."
Chi Yang's expression changed slightly, and his phoenix eyes showed a bit of sharpness.
"Ah Qing, have you forgotten the consequences and punishments for unlocking too much energy in the small world?"
Unless the tasker encounters a fatal crisis, excessive decompression of his own energy will bring a huge impact to the small world. Therefore, the Space-Time Administration has formulated a rule that in non-crisis situations, the tasker must not decompress more power than the small world can withstand.
Yan Qing now wants to unlock the power to save these people, so she will have to go against the original plot line. The unlocked power will be greater than the original power required, and the small world may not be able to withstand it.
Yan Qing smiled and said, "Yangyang, if I hadn't seen you, I wouldn't dare to do this."
"You asked me before if I needed any help, and now I will answer you."
"I need you to stabilize the core of the small world when it is in turmoil."
In this way, we can not only preserve the small world, but also Zhaoyang Jianzun and others.
Hearing this, Chi Yang was silent for a long time. Words of persuasion came to her lips, but the moment she met Yan Qing's eyes, she swallowed them back.
Finally, Chi Yang also smiled, his smile was bright and unrestrained.
"Forget it, I'll accompany you this time. After all, it's because of me that you entered this little world."
Yan Qing looked relaxed. She thanked him softly and told her about her plans for the future.
After arranging everything, Yan Qing took 012 and returned to her body in the underworld.
012 was extremely excited to have truly returned to Yan Qing's side, and everything he saw was new to him.
Especially after knowing that X6888 was not Yan Qing's system but Zhan Yun's system, 012 quickly established a revolutionary friendship with X6888. The two of them were whispering to each other in the corner.
Yan Qing just let them go and turned her attention back to the people present.
Although it seemed like a long time had passed just now, to Song Beiwu and the others, it was only a few breaths.
In their eyes, they just saw the Demon Lord setting up a soundproof barrier and saying something to Lord Ling Wei. Then, Lord Ling Wei looked towards the Immortal Ladder and was absent-minded for a moment.
Now that he had just come to his senses, the soundproof barrier was removed at the same time.
Song Beiwu and the others were actually very curious about what the two of them had talked about, but they didn't dare to ask Yan Qing, so they turned their attention to Zhan Yun, hoping to find a breakthrough from him.
However, Zhan Yun already knew everything that happened up there through X6888's retelling, including Yan Qing's last words to Chi Yang and the subsequent plans.
He pretended not to see the gazes of the crowd.
He had no intention of answering, but waited quietly for Yan Qing to start his plan.
Yan Qing regained control of her thoughts. She looked at everyone, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in her gray eyes.
We can't delay any longer now, it's better to decide quickly.
Zhan Yun understood the look in Yan Qing's eyes. He followed the plan, used his own magic power, and flew into the air.
The people below all paused, realizing what Zhan Yun was going to do. However, they did not expect that Zhan Yun would be the first one.
In mid-air, Zhan Yun's indifferent face showed a rare smile. He said in a very calm voice to the people below: "Gentlemen, the road of cultivation is long, I will go ahead."
As he finished speaking, his figure gradually became illusory, and a staircase leading upwards slowly grew from the broken part of the immortal ladder. When the staircase solidified, Zhan Yun's figure completely disappeared between heaven and earth.
The sky was gloomy for a moment, and then suddenly cleared up. Raindrops carrying spiritual power fell densely, and on the ground, the grass soaked by the raindrops quickly sprouted and grew.
A breeze blew by, and the grass swayed in the wind, as if practicing for him.
