Can't leave here
After listening to the old man's words, Richard narrowed his eyes slightly, bowed his body, and left the chair. The muscles under his clothes tensed up and made a fighting posture.
Although he is not inclined to fight if it can be resolved peacefully, he is not afraid of fighting either.
It's just a little strange that the old man didn't follow him in the same fighting posture. He looked over from his seat and said slowly: "Young man, don't be anxious. Although I will stop you from leaving, I won't do it in the way you want. Blocking—that’s too much effort, and as an old man I have my own way, which is much gentler.”
After hearing what he said, Richard did not relax his vigilance at all, staring at the old man, ready to respond to the other party's attack at any time.
At this time, the old man said again: "Do you want to know the method I used to deal with you? If you are curious, I am willing to tell you."
Richard didn't answer.
The old man took the initiative to speak: "I just told you that for the safety of the plane and for the plane to go on a correct path, the entire truth will make major corrections to the entire world. Among them, a very important point is to remove the influence of individual living beings on the right path. Transformation effects in 'Project Dawn'.
According to the theory of 'divine punishment', transforming life and improving the essence of life is disobeying the position given by God and is a great sin. As a result, the entire Truth Society began the 'Counter Dawn Project', also known as the 'Seal of Darkness'.
During the process of 'Dark Seal', we adopted a series of means to restore many individuals in the plane to their former ordinary people and lose the ability to control extraordinary power, even if they give birth to children.
Of course, we are here to reduce the risk of 'divine punishment' coming again, not to destroy our civilization. Extraordinary power cannot cut off the source of fresh blood. Therefore, we have not turned all individuals outside the Truth Society into ordinary people, and we have given special treatment to a small number of people.
Although this small group of people were sealed, we left a small loophole and the seal was not so strict. This gives them, and the children they give birth to, a certain chance of regaining extraordinary power through life transformation. Maybe it can't be like in the Dawn Project - the starting point is a level one wizard, but as long as you work hard, you can also become very strong. We call them seeds.
According to the plan, when the long world correction project comes to an end, the seeds on the continent have also developed to a certain height and successfully become the core force of the new era. These seeds will lead the rest of the people under some guidance and start walking in the right direction. At that time, there will be very few members of the Truth Society left and they can withdraw with peace of mind. "
"But then again." The old man looked at Richard and smiled, "When we implement it, it is impossible not to consider the risks. We also thought about becoming the seeds of the new era. What if we don't follow our guidance? What should I do if I go in the right direction instead of going back to the same old path
To be more extreme, what if the New Age seeds realize that the truth will exist and reach a consensus, treating the truth as an enemy? After all, members of the Truth Society have a limited life span and will become weaker and weaker. In the end, they will be less able to fight against the seeds of the New Age. If the seeds directly attack heaven like you are doing now, wouldn't the entire plan's efforts be in vain? "
"Therefore, at the beginning of the plan, we set up an insurance, an insurance that would never fail. That is, while leaving loopholes for the seeds, we also cast a kind of "destiny" on the seeds. Gu's forbidden spell.
Generally speaking, this forbidden spell will not have any effect on the seed itself, but it will leave a double mark on the blood and soul of the seed. Therefore, even if extreme measures like resurrection of the dead are adopted, it cannot be eliminated, and the children born will also inherit it. This effect. "
The old man's smile grew thicker and he looked at Richard as if he were looking at a dead person: "Here comes the most exciting part - once this forbidden spell is activated, it will suffer double continuous attacks from blood and soul, which is irresistible and helpless. Transfer, no matter how powerful you are as a seed, the only result is to die in endless pain. Because, a seed is a seed!"
"boom!"
The old man slammed the crutch in his hand toward the ground.
"Wow!"
The lower end of the crutch shattered, and a burst of crimson light burst out, filling every corner of the palace in an instant, successfully wrapping the old man and Richard in it.
"This is the signal that triggers the 'Gu of Destiny', and this is the trump card I reserve for you. Feel it, feel the taste of the 'Gu of Destiny', and feel the methods of an old man like me."
After the old man finished speaking, he leaned completely on the back of his chair and observed Richard meaningfully.
Richard's body was surrounded by red light. He was slightly startled at first, but then he showed a strange smile, restrained his fighting posture, sat back on the chair like the old man, and looked at the old man.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
A full three seconds passed, and the red light faded a little. Richard did not change at all, but the old man's expression became a little strange.
Four seconds, five seconds, six seconds...
Time passed, and most of the red light faded away. Richard still showed no change, and did not show any hurt expression. The old man began to frown deeply.
Seven seconds, eight seconds, nine seconds...
The red light was so dim that it almost disappeared. Richard looked at the old man, his eyes were half closed, and he looked like he was about to fall asleep. The old man's brows were wrinkled into a knot, and he finally couldn't help but asked: "You... are you okay?"
Richard opened his eyes, looked at the old man, and said with a bit of a smile: "Mr. Gaoge, I have to say that if you had used other methods, I might have been injured. But you used what you just did. That kind of 'fate poison' that I'm talking about, then I'm totally fine."
"How is this possible! The 'Gu of Destiny' is effective on all seeds. There will be no accidents or any means of cracking. This has been tested repeatedly in the past. You cannot violate it..." The old man was obviously a little uncomfortable. Indifferent.
Richard raised his hand and interrupted the old man: "Yes, Mr. Gaoge, what you said is correct. As long as it is a seed, I can't get rid of your 'fate poison'. But unfortunately, I... am not a seed."
"Huh?" The old man didn't seem to understand.
"How should I put it?" Richard spread his hands and said slowly, "Things about the soul are a bit complicated, and I can't explain it clearly to you. But when it comes to blood, I can assure you that I am a thoroughgoing person. An ordinary person, not a seed. Therefore, your 'Gu of Destiny' has not been applied to me, so it will naturally not be effective on me."
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, and he stared at Richard, as if he was trying to distinguish what was true from falsehood: "If you are not a seed, how can you master such a powerful extraordinary power? If you are not a seed, how can you destroy the place I set up?" Organizations outside the Kingdom of Heaven? If you are not a seed, how can you enter the Kingdom of Heaven and stand in front of me?!"
"It is true that I am not a seed, but I obtained the ability of a seed through some means."
"I don't believe it!" The old man spoke faster and said excitedly, "I don't believe there are any despicable means in this world that can steal extraordinary power."
"Maybe this method is not despicable. On the contrary, it is more advanced than extraordinary power. It can explore the world, analyze the world, and master the world. Of course, it can also explore, analyze, and master extraordinary power. Everything is just letting nature take its course."
"Let nature take its course? Explore, analyze, and master the world?" The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Richard and said, "Although I didn't fully understand what you said, I am at least certain that you and some of the most radical figures in the ancient wizard civilization People are very similar. The destruction of the ancient wizard civilization has proven that people like you can only bring disaster, so I must stop you at all costs and prevent you from letting disaster happen again."
After speaking, the old man threw away the broken crutch and stood up from the chair.
As he stood up, the skin on his face tightened rapidly, wrinkles disappeared, muscles bulged, cloudy eyes became clear, and gray hair turned black.
Like rejuvenating, the old man's age changed from looking more than a hundred years old to about forty years old in just one breath.
From an old man with a high temperament, he became a mature man with a high temperament.
Gao Ge took a breath, looked at Richard, and sighed: "I didn't expect that I would have to take action after all."
"I will expect you to behave, Mr. Gauger."
"Then I will never let you down." Gao Ge said.
"Crack!"
The table between Richard and Gaoge was cut off in the middle. Gaoge stepped on it, and the whole palace trembled and he rushed out.
