"...What multiple-choice question?"
Looking up, the tombkeeper's words were hoarse and hoarse.
"First, sacrifice your daughter to complete the final splicing and bring the decades-long plan to a successful conclusion."
Looking at the tombkeeper in front of her, the woman spoke calmly.
"Second, rescue your daughter, refuse the final splicing, and let the decades-long plan completely turn into a puddle of water."
"..."
"If you choose one, both of you will die, but if you choose two, both of you will survive. So now, please tell me..."
"Your final choice."
Volume One: The Gap between Virtuality and Reality: Chapter 872 Chapter 862 "Spirit" and "Growing Pains"
In the dreamlike nebula space, the tombkeeper fell into a long silence because of the woman's words.
Bai Zhi didn't know what kind of grievances and hatreds there had been between the two of them, but he didn't care about these things.
The tombkeeper fell into silence, but he was very interested and struck up a conversation with the woman in front of him.
"So, could you please introduce what you are going to do?"
As he spoke, he pointed at the woman's side.
"To be honest, I'm more curious about this kind of thing."
"Quite simply, our world needs a controlled existence."
She seemed to be happy to chat with him, and the woman started talking with a smile.
"Having mythical creatures and being able to use mythical creatures are two completely different concepts. We have paid so much price and sacrificed so many people. What we want is not just a so-called mascot."
"So if someone can become the martyr of that puzzle card, he can interfere with the power of that puzzle card?"
Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It shouldn't be just that simple, right?"
"Of course it's not that simple. The concept of martyrdom doesn't work for puzzle cards that have reached the mythical level. It requires far more complexity than you think."
The woman sighed slightly in her mouth.
"To put it simply, what it needs is not a martyr, but a controller. Do you understand? In order to control it more conveniently, it needs to obtain [spirituality]."
"And [spirituality] is obtained through sacrifice?"
Bai Zhi nodded thoughtfully.
"Okay, I understand. As a martyr, you can still maintain your own consciousness, but as for [spirituality], you have to give everything you have, right?"
"Yes, [spirituality] is a completely new consciousness. You can treat it as a blank program. It belongs purely to the category of "spirit"."
The woman lowered her eyes slightly and fell on the girl next to her.
"After gaining the recognition of "spirit", you will have the qualification to control it. The mythical creations at that time can be regarded as true mythical creations. Only when it reaches that level can our world not be imagined to be fragile. Glass can generally be destroyed at will.”
As if recalling something, the woman closed her eyes slightly.
"The birth of [spirituality] is a very long thing, but there is a way to speed up its emergence. We can't delay it for too long. Before that moment comes, we must have our own patron saint. Only by existing can we avoid that kind of destructive future.”
"Is it spiritual..."
Bai Zhi crossed his chest with one hand and touched his chin with his hand, looking thoughtful.
In their world, there was also a mythical creature that he knew existed, and he had been there before by accident.
—[Eighteen levels of hell].
In that hell town reached by a hell bus, he completed a very weird assessment.
According to the information he obtained from the pawnbroker boss, the next assessment will be conducted at least after he reaches level 30.
In the past, he had many speculations about the significance of this assessment, but since there was no evidence, those speculations were actually meaningless.
But if I think about it now, that may be the assessment of the players who passed the screening by the spirits born in the mythical creation of [Eighteen Levels of Hell].
-Those who pass the assessment will be in charge of the [Eighteen Levels of Hell].
... Yin Tianzi
Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
He suddenly became interested in a place like [Eighteen Levels of Hell].
In addition to wanting to see the evil god sealed in the [Eighteen Levels of Hell], he also wanted to know what the spirit born in the [Eighteen Levels of Hell] would look like.
The ten store managers in that hellish town might be the legendary Yama of the Ten Stores or something...
"So you need her sacrifice to give that mythical level puzzle card [spirituality] so that you can control it and become the patron saint of our world?"
Bai Zhi was still thinking about the things in Hell Town, but the tombkeeper spoke in a low voice at this time.
"yes."
After blinking her eyes, the woman nodded seriously.
"You see, for the benefit of the majority of people, it is allowed to slightly sacrifice the interests of a small number of people, right? In some things, the sacrifice of some people is worth it."
"...Why is it her?"
After a moment of silence, the tombkeeper spoke with difficulty.
"Really? But if the victim can be anyone, then why can't the victim be her?"
After staring at the tombkeeper in front of her for a while, the woman suddenly laughed, slightly mockingly.
"If the person who appeared here today was not your daughter, then I ask you, would you still ask the question just now?"
"..."
The gravekeeper remained silent.
"I know what you want to say, because you have given everything, so of course you cannot take action against your daughter. But among us, who has not given everything?"
Looking at the tombkeeper in front of her, the woman's voice finally cooled down.
"You have made a lot of sacrifices? So are the sacrifices I have made less than yours? So that's enough. I'm already very tired. Please don't let me continue to be tired. You Do you know what I regret most? What I regret most is that I met you at that time."
Looking at the man in front of her who had once made her obsessed, the woman shook her head with disappointment.
"So, why are you still alive now? How great would it be if you could die earlier?"
"..."
No one answered.
"Also, you should know that you ruined many of my plans, right?"
Seemingly losing interest in continuing to communicate with the other party, the woman turned her attention to Bai Zhi again.
"You spent so much energy to come here, what is your purpose?"
"Complete a promise and come to save a person, that's all."
After glancing at the tombkeeper on the side, Bai Zhi shook his head slightly.
"But now, I shouldn't need to save people. Speaking of which, are you really not worried that your rough approach will backfire?"
"… never mind."
After a moment of silence, the woman spoke calmly.
"I have already paved the road for her. What she wants to do next is her own business. Instead of suffering a big loss because of that kind of personality later, it would be better to let her taste that from the very beginning. A bitter taste."
"Really? But even if she knows the truth later, she will never forgive you."
Bai Zhi shook his head.
"You know, too many people died because of you."
"so what?"
The woman's tone was terrifyingly calm.
"If you want to hate, feel free to hate, I don't care about that. A person's growth always needs to be accompanied by labor pains."
"That's something she has to understand."
—These are words that are completely incomprehensible to the tombkeeper.
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 873 Chapter 863 Cause and Effect and Ending
The world is not black and white, but a delicate gray.
From the first words the woman said to him, Bai Zhi had roughly guessed something.
The other party said before that in the matter of Tianhuo and Tianhuo's master, if he had not destroyed the other party's plan, only one person would come back alive in the end.
This sentence alone was enough for Bai Zhi to get a lot of information.
This is a very simple and easy-to-understand example. In that matter, if you had not intervened in it, who would have been the person who went back in the end
First of all, Tianhuo and her brother Tianhuo cannot go back. The gap in strength between them is too big, and it is impossible for those researchers to go back, because Huang Mao, who was hacked to death by Tianhuo's master, will not allow it.
In other words, if he had not intervened at that time, the two masters of Huang Mao and Tianhuo would have been the ones who returned in the end.
But if there is only one person... then the one who can go back in the end will definitely not be Huang Mao.
—For the woman in front of her, this was a cruel trial for her apprentice.
She wanted to use the deaths of the Skyfire people to completely make the other party grow up quickly. Even though this kind of trial would sacrifice many innocent people, she didn't care about it at all.
Bai Zhi was sure that even if he didn't intervene at that time, the master of Queen of Heaven would automatically wake up under some design in the end, kill Huang Mao, and return alone in the blood.
And this was probably something he had been a little confused about before.
Since so much energy and design was spent to make Tianhuo's master look like that, it means that she should be a very important part of the plan, but such an important person in the plan is still in their world How could the apprentice of the strongest player send such a disgusting yellow hair during recycling
The role of Huang Mao was to kill the master who was responsible for irritating Tianhuo after killing them.
By now, Bai Zhi could roughly determine what the woman in front of him was going to do.
She wanted to train the other person to be her heir, so that he could continue to rule and protect her world after she left. However, as a person in charge of the highest power, it was absolutely impossible with the original character of Tianhuo's master.
That's why the woman made this arrangement, forcing her to mature quickly in the most cruel way.
Obviously, if Tianhuo really died in front of her to protect her at that time, her character would definitely change dramatically.
And this kind of change is exactly what the woman in front of him needs.
As for the so-called sacrifices caused during this, she didn't care at all for the woman in front of her, even if the other party would hate her for the rest of her life.
As for the grudges and disputes between the tombkeeper and the other party, Bai Zhi didn't bother to think about it.
However, the tomb guard looks so unsure in front of the other party. Just thinking about it, it is unlikely that it will be too wonderful.
"… What's the meaning?"
As if he understood that the woman would not talk to him anymore, the tombkeeper looked towards Bai Zhi.
"You can understand it if you think about it for a moment, right? Do you think it can be done by just an epic-rated player to give spirituality to a mythical-level item? Then this is too worthless."
Pouting his lips, Bai Zhi looked at the woman in front of him.
"Now you should be about to break through the legend and reach the level of myth, right? As the strongest combat force in your world, is it really worth wasting it on this?"
"If it can be given a "spirit" in advance, this approach is worth it."
Lowering her eyes and looking at the girl beside her, the woman spoke calmly.
"In the face of the impending doomsday disaster, my personal power can't change anything, but the power of a mythical creature that can be completely controlled is enough to rewrite certain endings..."
Before the woman could finish her sentence, a pale golden card quietly passed by her side, and then spontaneously disappeared into a nebula.
"Feel sorry."
Looking at the woman in front of him who never wanted to raise his head to look at him again, letting his figure disappear quietly in the light, the gravekeeper closed his eyes and let his last words disappear in the air.
"…if there is an afterlife."
"Afterlife?"
