From the end of the world

Chapter 261 Wishes and Prices 1
I didn't expect that Xuan Ming No. 4 would ask questions related to amnesia without any warning, and the Lord of the Divine Seal's answer was even more intriguing.

The Lord of the Seal of God cannot answer the origin of amnesia because he cannot answer questions related to the end of the world. In other words, there is a clear causal relationship between the emergence of amnesia and the "end of the world". In the past, I always suspected whether the souls of patients with amnesia went to the end of the world. Now this clue seems to be able to support this suspicion to a certain extent.

After receiving the reply, No. 4 Xuanming did not continue to ask questions. From his attitude, it was hard to tell whether he was surprised or expected. However, since No. 4 Xuanming, who was obsessed with the doomsday, suddenly brought up the topic of amnesia, it meant that he was probably aware from the beginning that amnesia and the doomsday were inextricably linked.

On the other hand, if the source of amnesia is Doomsday, then the "cure for amnesia" that Ma Zao has been thinking about most likely cannot be obtained through the Lord of the Divine Seal. Because the method to completely eradicate amnesia is likely to involve the cause of amnesia.

Given the bizarre origin of amnesia, it is hard to imagine that we can find out the truth of the disease by just relying on the skills of the demon hunters to study a single case of amnesia like Ma Zao. After all, amnesia is not a real infectious disease, because there are no bacteria or viruses acting on the patients, so we cannot expect to develop a specific medicine specifically targeting the cause of the disease.

This is more like an invisible natural disaster, which must be quelled, otherwise it will be impossible to truly save all the amnesiacs. This feeling seems to have been rooted in my heart for a long time, and after knowing this information, my intuition has become more distinct.

No. 4 Xuanming was probably sorting out the information he had obtained and did not speak for a long time. Seeing this, No. 6 stepped forward and asked the Lord of the Divine Seal his own question: "I want to know how to open the 'third door' and the 'fourth door'. Can you answer?"

"Yes." The Lord of the Divine Seal said, "You already know the answer now."

"Hmph... the fourth door does exist, and there is a way to open it..." Number Six said in an inexplicable tone.

Although no one knew what the "third door" and "fourth door" he referred to were respectively, he was obviously following the same method as No. 4 Xuan Ming, extracting the information he wanted from the Lord of the Divine Seal without consuming the fragments of the Divine Seal.

Obviously, the Lord of the Divine Seal also saw through the intentions of No. 4 Xuanming and No. 6, but he did not choose to hide them in a petty way. Instead, he was open and allowed the two to take advantage of him.

Then, can I also use the same method to get information from the Lord of the Divine Seal? I thought about it for a while, and it probably won't work. Unlike those two people, I need an answer with clear content.

Number One probably had the same idea. What he wanted was the knowledge to revive others. He had confirmed this with the Lord of the Divine Seal last time, so he did not repeat it this time like the other two. However, I am sure that he did not have any extra fragments of the Divine Seal. He seemed a little irritable, his eyes wandering around, and then locked onto Number Five. To be precise, he looked at the fragment of the Divine Seal in Number Five's hand.

Number Five was still hesitant, as if he was hesitating whether to ask the Lord of Divine Seal a question, but Number One's covetous gaze seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. He suddenly seemed to have made up his mind and asked the Lord of Divine Seal: "What I want to know is the method that can make me strong enough to kill the old Fist God. Even if it is this question, can you tell me the answer?"

The Old Fist God is one of the Great Impermanence standing at the top of Luoshan Mountain, and he is also the Great Impermanence who chooses to remain neutral in the struggle between transcendence and politicalism.

Although I am not very clear about the theory of political struggle, and I don’t know whether it is applicable to the world of great uncertainty, I have heard such a saying before: fence-sitters who choose not to take sides in the dispute of positions will often become the first victims to be attacked by all camps. Because no one wants to be taken advantage of by others when both themselves and the enemy are losing.

On the other hand, if someone can live a comfortable life while being a "fence-sitter", it means that this person has extremely strong capital.

The information Mr. Zhu provided me shows that the old boxing god is the strongest among all the great impermanence.

When No. 5 finished speaking, even No. 6 couldn't help but look sideways, while No. 4 Xuan Ming smiled: "Oh... you want to kill that old man whose brain is full of muscles?"

This question seemed to be somewhat difficult for the Lord of the Divine Seal. He paused for two or three seconds before saying, "——Okay."

"Then I will exchange the fragment of the divine seal for this answer."

Number Five said this as he walked closer to the Lord of the Divine Seal.

Who could have expected that the first person present who wanted to exchange the fragments of the divine seal for answers would be the most inconspicuous person among all.

The Lord of the Divine Seal first made a confirmation: "Do you intend for everyone to hear this answer, or do you want it to be heard by just you?"

"Of course it's just me."

Number Five obviously didn't want the precious answer that he had to muster up the courage to exchange for the fragment of the Divine Seal to be available to everyone present at no cost.

The Lord of Divine Seal nodded slightly, and the fragment of Divine Seal in No. 5's hand disappeared. Then the Lord of Divine Seal said, "I have transferred all the knowledge into your mind." No. 5 seemed to be struck by lightning and almost fell to the ground. Then, as if he was drunk, he walked to the rock chair corresponding to his number with staggering steps and sat down.

He fell into a very long silence, as if he was trying to digest the knowledge he had gained, while muttering to himself: "So... So this is how it is done..."

At the same time, Xiaowan No. 2 said to me in telepathy: "Mr. No. 3, Mr. No. 5's connection with the virtual world has greatly deepened."

It turns out that transactions will deepen the relationship.

And number one seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and said to number four, "number four... no, Xuanming, do you have any extra fragments of the divine seal? I hope you can lend me one, and I will repay you handsomely in the future."

"That's impossible. The fragments of the divine seal can be of great use to me." No. 4 Xuanming said.

"Do you want to increase your strength by relying on the power of the divine seal fragments?" asked No. 1.

"You probably haven't gotten the second God Seal Fragment, so you don't know yet. We, the so-called chosen ones, can only use the first God Seal Fragment bound to us to strengthen our own strength. Even if we get more God Seal Fragments, we can't strengthen it further." No. 4 Xuanming said, "However, even if it is possible, I will not collect God Seal Fragments for that reason. Not only that, I don't plan to use the power of the first God Seal Fragment bound to me.

"Moreover... even if I really wanted to lend you the extra fragments of the Divine Seal, you would be destined not to be able to get them."

"What?" Number One was stunned.

No. 4 Xuan Ming did not give any further explanation. He simply raised his hand, summoned a fragment of the divine seal from his palm, and threw it towards No. 1.

Upon seeing this, No. 1 immediately reached out to catch it, but ended in failure. The fragment of the divine seal actually passed through his palm as if passing through a holographic projection.

Immediately afterwards, before it could even land at his feet, the fragment of the divine seal disappeared out of thin air. No. 4 Xuan Ming flipped his palm, and the fragment of the divine seal automatically returned to his hand.

This scene was really unexpected. Although we were summoned to the virtual world in the form of shadows, we should still be able to touch other substances and each other normally. Number 2 Xiaowan is shaking hands with me now, and the soft touch of a normal little girl's palm is transmitted to me. If you feel it carefully, you can even feel the body temperature. However, number 5 cannot touch the fragment of the divine seal, and it doesn't seem like number 4 Xuanming has done anything wrong.

"This phenomenon is..." Number One seemed to have realized something.

"Have you ever seen other people trying to touch the fragments of the Divine Seal in the real world? If you have, you should understand what this phenomenon is. People who don't have a destiny related to the fragments of the Divine Seal cannot take the fragments of the Divine Seal." No. 4 Xuanming said, "Although you are also a destined person bound to your own fragments of the Divine Seal, you still cannot touch the fragments of the Divine Seal of other chosen people.

"Because in principle, the bond between us and our own God Seal fragments strengthens the 'affinity' between us and them to the extreme. On the other hand, the bond between this God Seal fragment and other people, or even other chosen ones, will be weakened to the extreme.

"If the affinity is so weak, even if you want to meet, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even if you meet, you can't make contact. The phenomenon just now is proof of this."

He showed a deep understanding of the fragments of the divine seal, and No. 1 made a reluctant sound, but in the end he had no choice but to accept it.

This is the first time I have seen the specific implementation of the statement "No one without a related destiny can take the fragment of the God Seal". I used to think that "cannot take" means that the fragment of the God Seal will be like the sword in the stone in the legend of King Arthur, and no one can take it. It is no wonder that Fu Feng said that he and others could not move the fragment of the God Seal, and could only build a base at the place where they found it to guard it. If you can't even touch it, there is really no question of whether it can be moved or not.

No, wait...

I suddenly found something irrational. Without a related destiny, even touching the fragments of the divine seal is impossible. If this is true, then things are too strange.

Little Bowl No. 2 seemed to realize the problem earlier than I did. When I turned to look at her, our eyes met.

I think, like me, she thought of someone who had once broken this logic.
