My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 426 The Truth (Part )

Xiaonan was teleported quite far away and now no one knows where he is.

Maybe you're having fun.

Jiang Chen was not in a hurry, but went to see the Emerald Fairy again.

Sitting opposite the enchanting lady in the magnificent palace, Jiang Chen smiled and said:

"I am Jiang Chen, and the one who was teleported away was my puppet Xiaonan."

Emerald Fairy nodded gently: "I know. What's the matter? I have said everything I can say, and there is nothing I can say."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Actually, there is something else I can say, but I didn't ask and you didn't say."

Emerald Fairy looked at him admiringly and said, "Then ask."

Jiang Chen asked directly: "May I ask how strong you are?"

This question made Emerald Fairy's eyes light up slightly.

She replied softly, "It should be considered an elite commander."

Jiang Chen nodded gently: "But you haven't shown your due strength in the two consecutive days of fighting."

In the past two days, Emerald Enchantress and her friends have participated in the battle, but their performances were very average.

It can only be said that he is powerful among those who have received the precepts, but he definitely does not perform as an elite commander should.

Emerald Fairy smiled and said, "Life and death are nothing but the same things. I have let it go and am too lazy to move."

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh, then I understand."

Emerald Fairy said: "You just think you understand. Do you know what is the most terrifying thing about people? It's not that they don't understand anything..."

She didn't say any more.

Jiang Chen nodded: "I do understand a little, but it's not enough. People who know nothing can just farm and make a living. People who know a little may be too ambitious and pursue goals that don't belong to them, which may lead to worse results in the end!"

Emerald Fairy smiled, her eyes sparkling: "Knowing that you know only a little is progress. But the real problem is that you have to grasp the key points!"

"You're right!" Jiang Chen smiled: "I've been wondering about a question before... Oh, now that I've figured it out myself, it doesn't matter if I tell you, right?"

Emerald Fairy smiled and said, "You have to tell me, then I can tell you."

Jiang Chen said, "I have always wondered about one thing. If the ancient creatures in the Broken Land never stop attacking, how can the Emerald Crown hold on until now? Yesterday and today, at least hundreds of soldiers died in battle. Such a battle will continue for another twenty days. In other words, it is no problem for thousands of soldiers to die in twenty days. But there are less than three thousand wood spirit soldiers in the entire Emerald Crown. A battle like this will not last more than three missions."

Emerald Fairy smiled but didn't answer.

Jiang Chen continued: "If there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers before, this doesn't make sense, because this castle can't accommodate so many people, and with that strength, wouldn't it be better to just flatten the ancient creatures?"

Emerald Enchantress still smiled and nodded.

She didn't answer, but her smile seemed to answer.

Jiang Chen muttered to himself: "I have a friend who is a monk. He said that he came here last time, but at that time, those puppet guards were not the opposing party, but the helping party... And last night, I saw several wood spirit soldiers coming out of the house. The house can only be unlocked from the inside, and the room can only be entered through some kind of teleportation method."

Jiang Chen wiped his mouth and said, "I used the Infinite Positioning on him, and he died in battle today. The two guys who were positioned by the Infinite Positioning died, and one of them appeared underground, in the nest of ancient creatures... I originally thought it was the person who received the precepts, but then I suddenly realized that maybe it wasn't the person who received the precepts, but the wood spirit soldier that I located."

The smile in Emerald Fairy's eyes became more and more intense.

Jiang Chen nodded gently: "Transformation... The answer is sometimes that simple. Yesterday's battle has already shown that the target attacked by the ancient creatures will transform. So, after the wood spirit dies, it will transform into an ancient creature, and after the ancient creature dies, it will also transform into a wood spirit, right?"

Emerald Fairy finally spoke: "Do you understand? There have never been any ancient creatures. Wood spirits are ancient creatures!"

Jiang Chen let out a long sigh!

Yes, he understood now.

The ancient creatures and the wood spirits were originally one and the same, or in other words, the ancient creatures were deformed variants of the wood spirits! This was the source of their suffering.

Death will be distorted!

This cycle repeats itself endlessly!

At this moment Jiang Chen said softly: "For ancient creatures, perhaps the best outcome for them is death. So they come to you, they are not here to kill you, but to commit suicide themselves?"

Emerald Enchantress’s eyes remained motionless.

Jiang Chen immediately shook his head: "I was wrong, if that's the case, they don't need to hide their true bodies. When you become a new creature, your aesthetics will also change. That distorted form is normal for them with distorted wills. So they are not here to kill themselves, they are here to transform you and make you one of them. Just like you kill them, it's also to transform them."

Emerald Enchantress's eyes lit up slightly, but not very strongly.

Jiang Chen realized that he might be right in some aspects, but not all.

Finally, Feng Ling couldn't help but said, "You need to think further ahead! We all hope..."

She didn't say anything else, but her face suddenly turned pale, she spat out blood and knelt on the ground.

Emerald Fairy sighed and looked towards the distant sky: "I have always... been paying attention to you. Feng Ling, you must believe in Jiang Chen! You don't have to be so anxious."

Feng Ling sat on the ground trembling, his face pale and his eyes filled with sadness, pain, despair, and... hatred!
Jiang Chen understood a little.

He nodded and said, "Your expectations...what are you expecting? The end!"

As he spoke, he smiled: "The end of the cycle... only one side can completely destroy the other side, right? When one side really has the upper hand, there is no opponent, there is no so-called transformation, and the cycle of reincarnation is destroyed. Unfortunately, the ancient creatures hope to be the victorious party, and you hope it is you, so none of you will compromise, and in the end, this endless cycle of death will be formed. Oh, yes, maybe the Discipline Tribunal will intervene. If one side has a winning advantage and is about to win a great victory, the ordained person will come in as a variable. So, as long as I help the wood spirit completely eliminate the ancient creatures, it will be fine? Right?"

Emerald Fairy smiled.

She whispered, "You have found the key link."

The key link?
In other words, it’s not enough!

Jiang Chen nodded: "Father asked me to break the Emerald Castle, but he didn't ask me to help you achieve a complete victory. Perhaps, a complete victory for one side is only a temporary result. The ultimate means is to break the castle and remove the shackles."

Emerald Enchantress said: "Go and look for it. The Emerald Crown is waiting for you."

As she spoke, she slowly stood up, her swaying posture accompanied by the palace gown, which was gorgeous and graceful.

Jiang Chen's gaze lingered on the face of the Emerald Demon Girl. Her face under the emerald green phoenix crown seemed to be much younger at this moment.

So he smiled and stood up: "You are right, the Emerald Crown is waiting for me to smash it!"

As he said this he walked out with a low laugh.

Looking up at the sky, it's still early.

Jiang Chen walked towards the library.

Most of the puzzles in my mind have been solved, and now there is only one left.

Arriving at the library, Jiang Chen saw the old man in the purple robe sitting there, reading a book seriously. He looked exactly like the old stone statue in the purple robe in the library, even their reading postures were very close.

Jiang Chen still said politely: "I want to go to the library to read books, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

The old man in purple robe just shook his head and smiled, indicating that he could go in directly.

Jiang Chen walked towards the library. After a few steps, he suddenly thought of something and turned to the old man: "Oh, by the way, I have a question for you."

The old man looked up at him.

Jiang Chen said: "Books in the library cannot be taken out. If this is the case, why do we need to arrange an old man to guard the library?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunder hammer appeared in his hand and he smashed it hard on the old man's head!
