From the end of the world

Chapter 544 Dushuo Mountain

This "reload and restart" ability should have other limitations, or it cannot be said to be a limitation of the ability itself, but rather some natural obstacles.

For example, if she had simply transported the soul to a point in the past, then it would have been meaningless if the soul itself had been destroyed.

However, considering the universality of soul destruction in the weird world, since she vowed that she could go back to the past and be resurrected, then "reloading the game" should also be able to repair her own soul. Even so, the specific extent of this repair and whether even the soul destroyed by the Great Impermanence with a murderous blow can be repaired is still open to discussion.

Furthermore, since the greatest value of this ability is that it can go back to the past and change the future, it belongs to the field of "historical modification", and it will become difficult when the opponent is the Great Impermanence. The historical events caused by the Great Impermanence's actions are very difficult to modify, and the matters directly related to it can be regarded as the conclusion of history.

In other words, even if No. 7 had a chance to be resurrected in the past after being killed by the Great Impermanence, and then wanted to change this event, he would inevitably encounter a powerful "historical correction force" in the future, and the event of "being killed by the Great Impermanence" would be repeated again and again.

Some demon hunters interpret this "historical correction power" as part of the Law of Heaven and Earth. They believe that the Law of Heaven and Earth of the Great Impermanence can be unfolded not only in space, but also in time. And the fact that the Gua Tianshi can make his predictions come true within the scope of the Law of Heaven and Earth is also interpreted by some people as the Gua Tianshi's ability to exert this "historical correction power" towards the present and the future.

Moreover, the Great Impermanence can launch attacks from the present to the past. I have done something similar before. When being locked by the Great Impermanence's spirit, I can escape to the past time and space. Even I, who am not good at looking back at history, can make further attacks. Even if the opponent has another Great Impermanence protecting him, it is useless. There is no room for the Great Perfection level to survive in the fierce conflict between the two Great Impermanence's forces.

The reason why No. 7 was able to wander around the battlefield between me and the Great Demon Xuanwu last time was because the Great Demon Xuanwu focused most of his attention on me and did not detect her presence immediately. Once her presence was detected, she would also be affected and die.

Although I have said so much about the parts that she is powerless to do, those are all situations involving the Great Impermanence. On the other hand, as long as there is no "extraordinary existence" like the Great Impermanence involved, and the details of her own abilities have not been leaked, it is difficult to imagine under what circumstances she would fail.

"Did you use the same power on me last time?" I asked.

"Yes." No. 7 nodded, "It's just that the scale of your existence is too huge, and I can't take you to move in time, so I can only move you and me in space to go back to the area where we were not long ago.

“However, even if we ignore the scale of your existence, in that situation I can only choose the method of spatial movement.

"Because my 'Death Return' can only move in space in its initial form, and movement in time is only possible after being strengthened by the power of the Divine Seal Fragment. And I also need to use this power to reset and clear the Great Demon Xuanwu's lock on you and me. If I use movement in time, I won't have the extra power to do this.

“In addition, thanks to the power of the divine seal fragment, I can also move in space without dying, and teleport myself to a place I passed by not long ago, or to a person I approached not long ago.

"Also, because it involves 'the few secrets that I cannot decide on my own', my control over the power of the Divine Seal fragments is higher than that of other Void Realm Apostles. For example, I can directly strengthen my own power and explosively do things that I cannot do under normal circumstances."

The last part probably talks about how, in a critical situation, her reaction speed can suddenly keep up with the speed of me and the Great Demon Xuanwu.

It seems that due to her potential connection with the Lord of the Divine Seal, she has a higher "backdoor privilege" to the power of the Divine Seal fragments. I guess she also knows that I can infer this, so she said it herself. I really don't know if this is self-destruction or a way to show sincerity.

But I understand that she is a very special Dacheng level. According to her, if she didn't have the fragment of the divine seal, she might have been just an ordinary Dacheng level; but now she has reached the level of "enough to interfere with the Great Impermanence", and is in the same realm as the Great Demon Yinyue, the Water Master Xuanwu, and Yuchi.

The power of the divine seal fragments can not only strengthen the abilities that the binder originally possesses, but also increase the skills that were not originally there, just like an expansion explanation, and the depth and breadth will undergo qualitative changes. This is also true for Xiaowan. Although there is no such thing as "backdoor permissions", Xiaowan can also use the power of the heaven and earth strengthened by the divine seal fragments to achieve some incredible miracles.

Even the Dog can rely on the "power of cutting", which sounds simple-minded, to perform such a mysterious skill as "cutting and pasting the past time and space into the present".

In comparison, I could only change the frequency of my own mana fluctuations, which was a disgrace to the power of the divine seal fragment.

I wonder if Xiaowan can bless me and strengthen the effect of my use of the power of the divine seal fragment? I came up with this idea and planned to ask Xiaowan to help me try it out later. I am really a contradictory person. I always think that too strong power is hindering my adventure, but I still unconsciously pursue more powerful power. Maybe this is also a nature that is difficult to get rid of.

Shaking off this thought for the moment, I focused my attention back on the present and said to No. 7, "Okay, I've sensed your sincerity. Let's stop here for the topic of your abilities. Now let's get down to business - what do you want to ask of me?"

And No. 7 stated his request in no uncertain terms: "I hope you can attack Huangquan Gospel Temple."

"Why?" I said, "Of course, I understand that you are a hostile force to the Gospel House, and it is natural for you to want to attack the other party's base, but why Huangquan Gospel House?

"Is it because the other party is the main force responsible for hunting you down, and is suspected of manipulating the Great Demon Xuanwu to hunt you down? Or does it have other strategic purposes?"

Number 7 replied: "Although I hate Huangquan Gospel Temple very much, I am not making this request purely out of hatred. A person whose reason is devoured by hatred cannot live long in this dark land, let alone become the leader of the Tai Sui Army.

"What I want is the research data on 'Dushuo Mountain' stored in Huangquan Gospel Temple."

"——Mount Dushuo?" Xiaowan read the word in confusion.

I remember the concept of "Dushuo Mountain".

"According to ancient legends, Mount Dushuo is the place where yin and yang meet. There are peach trees on the mountain, and the branches are connected to form the Gate of Hell. Behind the gate is the world after death..." I explained to Xiaowan, "and the concept of Mount Dushuo is also related to the god Shentu. According to legend, Shentu and another ghost god named Yulei are the gods responsible for guarding the Gate of Hell on Mount Dushuo."

As I said that, I turned to look at No. 7, "Could it be that the 'research data of Mount Dushuo' you mentioned is the technology used by the Gospel Academy to travel from the doomsday era to the modern world? And, according to this naming method, could it be that the doomsday era is really..."

"Let me answer your questions one by one. Yes, according to my investigation, the Gospel Institute completed the shuttle between the two time and space through the 'facility' of Mount Dushuo." No. 7 replied.

"Why do you want this research data?" I asked, "Do you also want to build the same facilities and lead the Tai Sui Army to the safe modern world?"

"If I say I don't have that idea, I'd be lying... but that's only secondary." Number 7 said, "My real goal is for you to take this information to Luoshan on the other side and hand it over to Number 5 Yuchi."

I pondered the meaning of her behavior, "...You want Luo Shan to master the means of traveling between the two eras? What's the purpose of this?
"The Gospel Academy is secretly supporting Taoyuan Township. They are undoubtedly Luo Shan's enemy... If Luo Shan can also come to the era of the Gospel Academy, there is a high probability that a conflict will occur between the two forces in the end... Is this your purpose? Because the Tai Sui Army is not the enemy of the Gospel Academy, so you let Luo Shan become the enemy?

"But how can you guarantee that Luo Shan will not seek common ground while reserving differences with the Gospel Institute? After all, what is the purpose of the Gospel Institute?"

There are so many things I don’t know.

In the absence of a lot of prior intelligence, even if No. 7 told me his purpose, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to analyze the specific intention. Turning to look at Xiaowan, I saw that she had a thoughtful expression, as if she had thought of many directions, but couldn't determine which one was correct for the time being. She could only raise her head and wait for No. 7's follow-up explanation.

"Before explaining the purpose of the Gospel Institute, I need to explain to you what the world we live in is like now."

Number 7 looked at me, paused for a moment, as if to prepare me mentally, and then continued, "Just as you suspected, this time and space called the 'Apocalypse' was once the world that all humans were destined to arrive in after death - Naraku."
