From the end of the world

Chapter 463 Locking the target
I decided to move the topic forward.

"There are still some parts that I don't understand, and I wonder if you can help me understand them," I said.

Willow Shadow said, "Tell me what you think. I will do my best to answer your questions as long as it is within my ability."

"The purpose of Taoyuan Township Master is to realize the 'paradise', create the ultimate individual and become its mind; and the purpose of Shan Liangyi, according to what I heard from others in the past, is to achieve the legendary realm of 'manifestation'." I said, "They have completely different purposes, but you suspect that they are the same person. Isn't this a bit contradictory?"

"This is indeed contradictory. This is partly why I am not completely sure that the Taoyuan Township Master is Shan Liangyi." Liu Shuying admitted my statement, "But this is not completely inexplicable. What follows is just my speculation, so you can just listen to it.

"First of all, Shan Liangyi himself is a person who has already achieved the legendary realm of 'reincarnation', but he is determined to achieve 'manifestation'. Have you ever thought about the reason behind this?"

"Although I have thought about it, I only have a superficial understanding of 'reincarnation' and 'apparition', and don't particularly understand the specific differences between them," I said.

Although some people call me a "congenital clairvoyant", I am very clear that I am not a "clairvoyant" in the strict sense.

If we just follow the simple definition, "spiritual manifestation" is the state of being able to completely decompose and reorganize one's body and soul into natural elements at will. However, in the strange world, there are monsters and spirits that exist in elemental form, but they are not called "spiritual manifestation".

There are two reasons for this.

First, those elemental lives still follow the inherent structure of existence. They seem to be able to dismantle themselves at will, but in fact they still maintain the main structure at the spiritual, mysterious, and abstract level and cannot fully liberate the potential of their souls.

I don't know if this description is correct. According to the theory of physics, although a brick hitting someone on the head can kill them, if the mass of the brick is converted into energy, the power released is completely incomparable to that of a brick hitting someone on the head. I saw someone say on the Internet that if the mass of a bench is converted into energy, it would be enough to blow the earth apart. I don't know if it's true.

Second, demon hunters believe that "apparition" is a legendary realm that can only be achieved with a deep understanding of the body and soul. "Knowing the truth" is important, but "knowing the reason" is even more important. Just like a person who has learned a profound mathematical formula in college does not mean that he is a great mathematician, but if he is the person who has proved this mathematical formula in history, then he is undoubtedly a great genius worthy of being recorded in history.

In other words, if one wants to achieve "manifestation", one should first have the knowledge and wisdom to prove this "mathematical formula" and then be able to achieve it; but I proved the "manifestation" first, but I have no idea how I did it.

This is why Yin Yue in the past has expressed the reaction of "innate manifestation should not exist" more than once.

There is said to be a theory called "Shakespeare's Theorem", which states that if infinite monkeys are placed in front of infinite typewriters and randomly tap the keyboard, among them there will definitely appear a monkey that can create the complete works of Shakespeare.

Now I am just like the monkey who typed out the complete works of Shakespeare in a confused manner.

Therefore, it is very likely that I have not fully realized the level of this legendary realm of "apparition".

I have carefully investigated the knowledge related to "apparition", and there is no record of "innate apparition". The information about the legendary realm of "apparition" itself is only well-known.

As for the knowledge related to "reincarnation", there is even less. From ancient times to the present, the only one who discovered it is Shan Liangyi. If it weren't for him, no one would know that there is such a legendary realm.

"It doesn't matter if you only have a superficial understanding, the answer is there." Liu Shuying said, "The biggest feature of the 'Manifestation' realm is the improvement of power. This is the most destructive realm among all the legendary realms; on the contrary, the 'Reincarnation' realm is the lowest power realm among all the legendary realms.

“This state basically won’t increase the power of the person who has achieved it. It just allows the person who has achieved it to have unlimited life and unlimited freedom… No, this statement is a bit strange. Many people pursue power, and what they seek is unlimited life and unlimited freedom.

"But at least Shan Liangyi himself probably values ​​power more, which is why he has been performing the 'Four Symbols Mystery Ceremony' to spread the seeds of power in every life. Originally, he might have wanted to rely on the 'Manifestation' to open the third door, but who would have thought that now he has relied on the 'Four Symbols Mystery Ceremony' to forcefully open the 'third door', but still has not yet proved the 'Manifestation'."

"Power... I see." I understood. "The common point between attaining 'epiphany' and creating 'paradise' is that the person who achieves it can gain unprecedented power from it."

"Creating another 'great true spirit' and controlling it... This result can be said to be the realization of the 'dream' realm, which is equivalent to realizing the 'true spirit' realm in human form." Liu Shuying said, "Perhaps Shan Liangyi feels that compared to fighting hard for the 'manifestation', this path is more feasible."

I almost believed his words. Perhaps it was at times like this that we needed to be more vigilant. "So, do you think that as long as we join forces, we will have a chance to kill the Taoyuan Township Lord?" I asked. "You yourself said that the Taoyuan Township Lord's power is comparable to Xuan Ming, and even Xuan Ming may be overwhelmed; and Xuan Ming had defeated two Great Impermanences in a row in the past. How much chance do we have of winning with just the two Great Impermanences?
"Besides, I only have the record of defeating Mingzhu. In fact, I am just a newly promoted Great Impermanence. Are you expecting too much from me?"

"Really?" Willow Shadow looked at me deeply. "Although I have lost my foresight now, I was famous for my perception in the past. I could understand many things at a glance.

"You give me the feeling that you are not that simple right now. You must be hiding some incredible trump card."

"Who knows?" I said.

Liu Shuying smiled and continued, "Our chances of winning are actually not low. First of all, although Xuan Ming did defeat two Great Impermanences in succession, he did not defeat them at the same time, and he also had the advantage of being the first to attack. This time, we have to be the first to attack the Taoyuan Township Lord.

"Then, it's not just you who has a trump card. Every person who is unpredictable has a few trump cards. Just like the owner of Taoyuan has a 'paradise', you have some means, and I, Liu Shuying, also have a unique secret weapon.

"With this secret weapon, I can burst out with the ultimate strength that is no less than Xuanming and Taoyuan Township Lord in a short period of time. Maybe this is not enough to make the final decision, but as long as you are added, the balance of victory will tip to our side.

"I won't say that we will win 100%, because that would be underestimating the Taoyuan Township Lord, or the Mountain Liangyi. If we are unlucky, we will lose; in the worst case, we won't even have a chance to escape, and one or even two of us will die there.

"But in order to deal with Shan Liangyi, our sworn enemy, it is only natural to take some risks. Don't you think so?"

What adventure?
I didn't feel anything when he talked about his secret weapon, but after listening to him to the end, I became excited.

Thinking about it carefully, what Liu Shuying said makes sense. I originally wanted to investigate Taoyuan Township and then dig out the doomsday organization Gospel Institute hidden behind the scenes, but I just lacked the most important clue. Now that the Great Impermanence has taken the initiative to come to me to cooperate and said that we should go together to deal with the Taoyuan Township Lord, isn't this a good opportunity worth taking advantage of?
"Since you said you wanted to join forces with me, you should have collected some clues in advance and have a direction to focus on, right?" I asked, "Why don't we start with intelligence sharing?"

"Ah? Oh... OK." Liu Shuying was stunned. "Why are you suddenly so positive..."

"You misunderstood. I was actively considering working with you," I said.

He whispered, "But you were still doubting that I was Shan Liangyi..."

"That's just to remind you that it's easy for others to misunderstand you as Shan Liangyi. Didn't you say it yourself? The hardest thing to see clearly is yourself, but as long as the two of us work together sincerely, there will be no weakness in this regard." I said, "Compared to this, what about your intelligence? Show it to me."

"Uh... here."

Willow Image was a little overwhelmed, so he obediently took out a map and spread it out on the table.

He marked five locations on the map and pointed at them, saying, "I recently noticed unusual activities by the Mingzhu forces. After a little inquiry, I found that there seemed to be a traitor who leaked information to Taoyuan Township.

"I realized this was an opportunity to track Taoyuan Township backwards, so I conducted an in-depth investigation and eventually locked onto these five branch bases. One of the branch bases leaked information to Taoyuan Township, so we just need to investigate them one by one.

"In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we'd better act covertly and not make any big moves before we lock on to the target."

I glanced at the map and said, "There's no need to check each one. I already know which branch base leaked the information."

"What?" Liu Shuying was stunned.

I also took out a map from my body and spread it on the table.
