From the end of the world

Chapter 464 Heading to the Destination

This is the map that Lu Chan submitted to me before, which marks three suspected branch bases.

At first glance, Lu Chan's list of suspects was shorter, and it seemed that he had investigated more deeply than Liu Shuying, but the suspects marked on the two maps did not overlap for the most part. This was perhaps inevitable, as Ming Zhuo was suspicious in his own right, so all the branch bases related to him seemed suspicious.

One of them used his personal connections to search, and the other mostly used the power of the Great Impermanence to search. The standards and directions of suspicion were also different, but it was like constantly nibbling away at both ends of a line, and they would eventually meet at the same point.

Both Lu Chan and Liu Shuying insisted that there must be a real "culprit" in the suspect list they gave, and there was only one overlapping mark on the two maps. I think we need to take action at this location.

This branch base is located on the outskirts of a coastal city in the country. At the same time, Lu Chan also wrote a brief note on the edge of the map. He suspected that this was also a branch base for Transcendentalism to conduct small-scale social experiments.

In the information he handed over to me, he also mentioned that although he initially suspected that the location of the Transcendentalism social experiment would be at the border, in the subsequent investigation, he also investigated in more directions. The real suspects were not the border areas, but the areas where Luoshan forces paid less attention.

In the past, Luoshan was an organization whose mission was to hunt down strange creatures. Therefore, they often paid more attention to areas where strange creatures were likely to gather, rather than economically prosperous areas. Although these two areas overlapped in many cases, to be precise, the more people gathered in a place, the more likely it was for strange creatures to breed; however, there were a few areas with good economic conditions where strange creatures were not likely to be encountered. The city near the Luoshan branch base was an example of this.

This situation may be because the city has only become a new economic zone in recent years, and the gathering of people is faster than the gathering of weird things. However, for ordinary people today, Luoshan's extraordinary power is more terrifying and dark than the so-called weird things. If you are "favored" by the extraordinary power because of this special condition, it would be better not to be so special.

I briefly explained the map to Liu Shuying, and he said thoughtfully, "Oh...it seems that you have some very capable officials there. Could it be that person named Lu Chan? He is very famous in Luoshan. Many people doubt his credibility, but few people doubt his ability."

I didn't continue this sentence, but continued to get to the point: "Well, now that we have locked on the target, let's act quickly."

"it is good."

He nodded at first, then revealed a strange look and said, "But... I thought it would take a few more days to convince you. I didn't expect you to agree so readily... Is there any special reason?"

"Do we need any other reason to deal with Shan Liangyi?"

I asked back while observing him.

After a series of exchanges and conversations, I still cannot come to a conclusion as to whether he is Shan Liang Yi or not. From a reasoning perspective, it is too early to prove that he is not Shan Liang Yi; and from an intuitive perspective, I think he is not.

However, since the imaginary enemy is someone who can open the third door, intuition is unreliable in this case, and the opponent may not be able to deceive and fake at this level. Even so, I still trust my intuition more than my ordinary brain.

Also, although I was interested in the topic of "taking some risks" he raised, I was not really overwhelmed by the urge to take risks.

If Willow Shadow is really Shan Liangyi and is going to show his fangs to me later, then I will fight him head-on. There is no elemental restraint between fire and earth. Although Shan Liangyi is suppressed by the Central Yellow Dragon as the source of power, I have to face this situation whenever I fight him. This is not an obstacle that can be overcome by playing tricks.

When Shan Liangyi is not the Lord of Taoyuan, Shan Liangyi only has the Yellow Dragon Seed at this stage, which is his weakest moment. According to the water master Xuanwu, as long as the descendant of Liangyi becomes the Great Impermanence, Shan Liangyi will not be able to unconditionally recover the other party's power seed.

Therefore, the Water Master Xuanwu was obsessed with seizing the power seeds of other descendants of the Two Principles, all in order to become the Great Impermanence and be qualified to stand in front of the Mountain Two Principles. Considering that water is restrained by earth, the Water Master Xuanwu's desire for my power seeds may also be a factor in wanting to get rid of the restraint relationship.

In other words, this is also a challenging opportunity for me.

If I were to avoid even this opportunity, saying "I'll see later", I would have a hard time believing that I would be able to muster the courage to do so in the future. Also, I never thought that a true dilemma would wait until I was ready.

The timing is certainly unexpected, but I decided to take action when the time is right.

Of course, even if Liu Shuying is not Shan Liangyi, it does not mean that he has no other plans in this matter. Maybe he is still cheating in other directions. This is what I need to observe later. "Besides, I am also interested in you." I said.

"Myself?" Liu Shuying asked again as if she could see through my thoughts, "Aren't you worried that I have other plans?"

"I'm just worried that you don't have a conspiracy," I said.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked at me, with a happy expression on his face for some reason.

"Yes, yes, that's it!" he said cheerfully, "Maybe we'll get along very well."
-
We left Luoshan headquarters and arrived at the outskirts of the coastal city in a flash.

On the way to the vicinity of the branch base, I asked him, "Since you have used the power of foresight to investigate the two mountains in the past, have you obtained more detailed information?

"For example...if the descendants of Liang Yi kill each other, will the seeds of the defeated and dead be transferred to Shan Liang Yi's hands? Or will they disappear on the spot?"

As for whether it will automatically transfer to the body of the successor of Liang Yi who won the fight, I think this is unlikely to happen. Water Master Xuanwu said that it is something that can only be done by people who have conducted in-depth research on the secrets of Shan Liang Yi and partially cracked its mechanism. In fact, I did not feel the extra water attribute power in my body after killing Water Master Xuanwu.

However, I have some doubts whether the Xuanwu Seed has fallen into the hands of Shan Liangyi. Although the Water Master Xuanwu is now suspected to be resurrected, the Xuanwu Seed may have been transferred during his death. I think the possibility of the Xuanwu Seed automatically returning from Shan Liangyi to the Water Master Xuanwu is extremely low.

"You want to ask about Xuanwu's situation, right? I can answer this question for you." Liu Shuying said, "Even if the heir of Liangyi dies at the hands of someone other than Shan Liangyi, the power seed will automatically transfer to Shan Liangyi's body - but this is the general situation.

"Because the power seed of Shan Liangyi also has the property of transcending time and space, if the killed Liangyi descendant is resurrected in the future, the power seed will first travel through time and space and transfer to the resurrected Liangyi descendant...

"Or should I say it this way? For something that transcends time and space, the past, present, and future exist simultaneously, and all time is the same time. If a person who died in the past is resurrected in the future, then it can be considered that this person never died, but just skipped a period of time in between. And for the power seed, it also skipped the distance in between with the other party and never left the person's body."

Human logic follows cause and effect, and cause and effect follows the relationship between time and space. Therefore, once time issues are involved, cause and effect are likely to collapse, and normal logic will lose its foothold.

The seed of power is an existence that is not applicable to normal logic.

"Do you have any other questions? I will answer you to the best of my ability." Willow Shadow said.

"Really? Then please answer the question about the doomsday prophecy." I said, "Why do you think the world will end?"

Willow Shadow gave me a meaningful look, and then said, "...Unfortunately, this is a problem beyond my ability."

"Are you the one who predicted the end of the world?" I asked.

"The predictor can only see the future results, but it does not mean that he will know the series of reasons that lead to this result." Liu Shuying said, "If the world is a test paper, then the predictor is a cheating student who got the answer in advance. The sad thing is that this answer does not include the derivation process."

He was probably telling the truth, but I still think he was hiding something. Maybe normal prophets do have such limitations, but I don't think he is a normal prophets. Apart from anything else, it is very abnormal that a Da Wuchang who has only been in the industry for four years can have the ability to predict things that surpass Gua Tianshi in some aspects.

His power of foresight, including the fact that it will gradually lose its effectiveness over time, is very similar to the reincarnation of Shan Liangyi. Therefore, even if he is not Shan Liangyi, he may be a time traveler or a reborn person. It is very reasonable that the advantage brought by future knowledge will decrease as one's influence on the future increases.
