From the end of the world

Chapter 446: Slag Impermanence Sword
There was a totem symbol drawn on the paper that Lu Chan handed over. It was a flame drawn in a simplified style. Upon closer inspection, it looked like a burning fire and a palm with five fingers pointing upwards. I guess it was because I often turned flames into palm shapes to catch people, so I extracted this symbol.

Since I had no knowledge of symbol design and couldn't quite articulate what kind of result I was looking for, I readily accepted the proposal.

Lu Chan nodded, put the paper away, and asked another question: "I heard from Mr. Zhu that you successfully made a new weapon using 'slag'?"

I admit it, and then summoned the Slag Straight Sword. Lu Chan took a look and continued, "The weapons mainly used by gods will also become important symbols in the hearts of believers, such as Pangu Axe and Xuanyuan Sword in Chinese mythology, and Gungnir of Odin in Norse mythology. Have you ever named your weapons? This will make it easier for us to promote them later."

I haven't given it a name yet. Although it's called the Slag Straight Sword now, that's just because I've made it into the form of the Impermanence Sword for now. "Slag" itself can be transformed into a thousand different forms. If you're interested, you can turn it into a spear, a big axe, or a giant hammer.

I explained my situation to Lu Chan, who said, "I suggest that you keep the slag weapon in the form of a 'sword' in the future. Anyway, according to your specific usage, you will only use it as a 'staff' to output flames in battle, so the form itself doesn't matter. I'll tell you the reason later, let's decide on a name first.

"First of all, a name as casual as 'Slag Straight Sword' must not be used. I always thought you were the type who was very particular about naming, but why can't you come up with a few 'cool' moves and weapon names when it's your turn? In the end, the name 'Slag' is not very good...

"Well... out of respect for you, I'll keep these two words for now. After all, the word 'slag' is worthy of its name, and it also means 'the residue made by refining the enemy's soul', which can show your killing majesty as Luoshan Dawuchang. And since you intentionally imitated the shape of the Wuchang Sword in appearance, you can add the word 'Wuchang' to highlight your element as Luoshan Dawuchang.

"So this sword will be temporarily called the 'Slag Impermanence Divine Sword'. If there are other ideas in the future, we can change it. After all, we don't have to promote it among the believers right away. What do you think?"

"I think it's a good name, let's use it." I said convincingly, "Then why do you intentionally fix the form of the slag weapon to a sword?"

"First of all, this is to make it easier for your followers to imitate you in the future and gain strength from your deeds. Secondly... let me confirm first, can you share your 'slag' with others? Not too much, just a little bit will do." Lu Chan said, "The symbol of Luoshan Wuchang's identity is the 'Wuchang Sword' equipped to every Wuchang. Even the outer Wuchang has the 'Outer Wuchang Sword', which you should be very familiar with.

"And as your believer, you can also own a 'Sword of Slag Impermanence'. Of course, not every believer needs to have it. You can only give it to believers who have made important contributions as a symbol of status.

"In the operation and management of the believer organization, it is very important to differentiate according to the status of the believers. Although the 'slag' cannot be processed, that is for people other than you. You should be able to make the 'Slag Impermanence Sword', right? The weapon forged by your own hands can undoubtedly represent the reward and respect from you."

This Lu Chan really makes sense. Since I have chosen to trust him, I will naturally not doubt his arrangements.

But there is one thing I want to remind you of.

"Let me make it clear first, I can make the 'Sword of Impermanence of Slag', but the most I can do is just use slag material to make a model that looks exactly like the Sword of Impermanence of Slag. I can't add the same functions as the Sword of Impermanence of Slag...or in other words, I can't add any functions at all." I said.

"It doesn't matter. The specific functions are just icing on the cake. Just like the tools in religious ceremonies don't need to be practical, what's important is their symbolic meaning." Lu Chan said confidently, "And this 'Slag Impermanence Sword' is definitely not just a decoration. In the future, there will definitely be believers who can summon your fire power through the power of faith. In fact, one has already appeared recently.

“Since there is the ‘Slag’ and your flame, such believers can probably also seal and compress the flame into the ‘Slag Impermanence Sword’ like you did, and do the same thing as your ‘Slag Impermanence Sword’.

"In addition, since the former and the latter are exactly the same in appearance and material, and it is a weapon you personally forged and bestowed upon them, then by imitating your deeds of using the latter in battle, the former will surely be able to summon more of your power."

"I see... Is this why you suggested that I fix the form of my weapon?" I suddenly realized.

I have a lot of "slag". Even if I split the slag weapons according to actual combat standards and provide them to my believers, the loss of my slag straight sword - or "slag impermanence sword" is unlikely to reach one ten-thousandth. From the perspective of great impermanence, "pulling a hair to benefit the world" is not just a simple imagination, but a simple task. I can meet all of Lu Chan's requests.

"You just said that recently there has appeared a believer who can use my fire power... Who is that?"

There is a world of difference between achieving this through pure faith and using runes like the Preacher to achieve this.

I was very curious about who believed in me so strongly, and at the same time I felt a little nervous. Being worshipped to such an extent by someone I had never met before, even I felt a little psychologically stressed.

I heard that Chang'an seemed to look at me that way for a period of time a long time ago, but he never mentioned such a thing when I first met him.

In addition, I was a little concerned about the "somewhat" in Lu Chan's mouth. Lu Chan showed a somewhat weird expression.

Ten minutes later, Lu Chan called the "Zhuang Cheng believer" over via a message on his cell phone. I was shocked when I saw that person.

The person who came was a handsome boy about fourteen years old, wearing a white ancient-style robe and with snow-white hair.

"Dongche?" I called out his name.

Dong Che first glanced at Lu Chan warily, then smiled broadly at me: "It's me! Long time no see, Senior Zhuang Cheng!"

"If I misunderstood, I apologize first...Are you my believer?" I asked in surprise.

"Yes."

Dong Che nodded vigorously, then raised his hand and glared at his palm.

A familiar flame burned from his palm, emitting a very similar magical power fluctuation to mine. Without a doubt, he actually summoned my power from the dark with the power of faith.

Gua Tianshi's direct disciple actually became my believer...

Does Gua Tianshi know about this? When I thought of this, I tried to ask Dongche why he became a believer, and he told me very straightforwardly.

Now I actually understand why Dong Che left Gua Tianshi.

Although Gua Tianshi's original intention was to consider the interests of human civilization, and he was more of a disguised hegemonist than a transcendentalist, his thoughts were too detached from human nature.

He has the perspective of an immortal. For the well-being of distant future civilization, he can allow current civilization to be ravaged by the transcendental worldview, causing hundreds of millions of ordinary people to suffer in hell for centuries. The only benefit is that "this can reduce the possibility of humans repeating the same mistakes after entering the era of interstellar civilization."

I don't know if this approach is really reasonable, but at least for a kind-hearted young man like Dong Che, it is too cold-blooded and ruthless.

In the past, if Gua Tianshi sided with the ruling camp, the number comparison with the supernatural camp would become three to three, and because the Wheel King could basically be equivalent to non-existence, it would actually become three to two. However, Gua Tianshi's choice in reality reversed the number comparison. This contrast was difficult for Dong Che to accept.

That's why, after I killed the God Lance without hesitation, and killed the evil Transcendentalist Great Perfection Level Wuchang, Dongche was so enthusiastic towards me at Fufeng Base. In his view, since I was hostile to Transcendentalism and appeared at Fufeng Base, I must be a rising star of "demon slayer" of the Governance, and the image he should become in his ideal.

And when I exceeded the declaration I had made in front of him, ascended to the Great Impermanence in a very short time, appeared out of nowhere to defeat Mingzhu, and publicly became the Great Impermanence who stood up for hegemony, my image in his mind seemed to have a more sacred glow.

Strictly speaking, Dong Che’s feelings towards me are still not the worship of a god, but more of the worship of an idol.

However, Lu Chan once told me that idol worship itself is similar to religious belief in nature, so it is not surprising that the power of faith emerges from it.

"Although it is true that I defeated Mingzhu, there is no special hatred between you and Mingzhu... Is it that serious?" I was still a little confused.

“Very serious.” Dong Che said seriously, “Senior Zhuang Cheng, perhaps you don’t have a deep understanding of the evil done by the Transcendentalism… The evil of Mingzhu and his subordinates is far more profound than you think.”
