From the end of the world

Chapter 549 Quasi-God Ma Zao
Anyone with a sound morality and conscience like Zhu Shi would definitely choose to defend the lives of eight billion people in the end. No, this "choice question" would never have appeared in Zhu Shi's thinking from the beginning. No matter how others stood, she would point her sword at the Gospel House without hesitation. Ma Zao must be the same. So is Chang An.

Unfortunately, I don't have sound morals and conscience, so I still thought about it.

Xiaowan seemed to sense my emotions, she turned around and looked at me silently. Although she had said before that she didn't care about the world and the future, and that she would trust me and stand with me, if I really chose the path of slaughtering all mankind, would she still stand with me?

After a brief consideration, I decided to give up this route.

In order to prevent the doomsday that destroys everything, turning around and swinging the knife at eight billion mortals... This sounds like choosing an easy and safe route to escape from a desperate situation, which does not suit my temperament.

This is the secondary issue. The more important reason is that if I was the only one who was against all mankind, it would be fine. To be honest, when I was in junior high school, I often imagined romantic plots like "for the sake of the person I love, I will fight against the whole world alone." But if I was against the whole world with all kinds of great impermanence, gods, supernatural forces, etc., it would be weird no matter how I thought about it.

"..."

Xiaowan seemed relieved.

So, what will the other great impermanence choose?
The figures of Luoshan's Great Impermanence appeared one after another in my mind. Finally, I found that I was sure that the only Great Impermanence who would stand firmly against the Gospel Courtyard besides myself was Fazheng.

Fa Zheng's friend Jian Feixian only supports the rule of law because of their friendship. In his nature, Jian Feixian actually leans towards the position of transcendence and neutrality. He doesn't care about the life and death of ordinary people. If the end of the world can be prevented by destroying the existing human civilization, he may join the route of destruction, or choose to stand aside and watch.

As for Gua Tianshi, although he is the Great Impermanence who plans to realize the vision of governing the world through transcendental means, I am not sure whether he will reject the extermination plan of the Gospel Institute. On the one hand, I can feel that he has a deep passion for human civilization, and believes that the Great Impermanence is just the helmsman of a certain period of civilization, and believes that civilization will one day be able to step into the sea of ​​stars.

On the other hand, I can also feel his ruthlessness towards humans. In order to allow civilization to accumulate sufficient experience during the Enlightenment period, he can even casually say something like "Let transcendentalism exploit human society for a few centuries first."

This is the perspective of a transcendent person. He only sees civilization and the "distant future"; he doesn't care about the life and death of every individual that makes up civilization, as well as their current joys and sorrows. That's why Dongche left him, because he has no empathy for the common people.

Giving up everything that human civilization has accumulated so far would certainly make him miserable. However, it is entirely possible that he would abandon his current civilization, which has accumulated too many faults and errors, based on a far-sighted idea in order to restart his civilization in the distant future.

As for Fate Turbidity...there is no need to talk about this person. I can't think of any reason why he wouldn't change sides.

There is even less need to talk about the Chakravartin. Since we now know that this "end of the world" is not the future world, but the world after death, then the human god Chakravartin who appeared in the Gospel Institute can only be the Chakravartin of Luoshan who turned against the past and betrayed the past.

Old Fist God and Willow Shuying, I am not sure what these two people who hold a neutral stance will think, but one thing is certain... these two people are essentially not upright characters who care about the common people.

The situation is very pessimistic.

And number seven gave his own opinion.

"Whether we take action or not, the Gospel Institute is bound to come into contact with Luoshan's Great Impermanence. Those who are willing to rebel will rebel sooner or later, and those who are willing to fight to the end will fight to the end sooner or later." She said, "And what we have to do is to hand over the intelligence necessary for the battle to the latter as soon as possible. Without the means to enter and exit the afterlife, they will only become a one-sided attack."

"Then how can you be sure that I am not the kind of person who could be turned against you?" I asked back.

After a moment of silence, No. 7 said, "...You have formed an alliance with the Great Impermanence and advocated for the rule of the world. The few friends you have are all kind-hearted people who are willing to stand on the side of the ordinary people...Are you trying to say that you will choose the path of the Gospel House? If so, then I have nothing to say..."

"You, who have been in the afterlife, know a lot. Have you asked the Lord of the Divine Seal about my nature?" I said.

No. 7 didn't respond, so I continued, "Don't worry, I won't go together with the Gospel Institute. Tell me the specific plan first.

"Let me attack Huangquan Gospel Temple, no problem. But do you know how to get there? When will the battle begin?" No. 7 breathed a sigh of relief, and then replied: "Don't worry, I have already sneaked into the area around Huangquan Gospel Temple in advance, and I can draw a map to get there. I can also use my ability to teleport you and the Tai Sui Army there at any time.

"Because we don't know whether Huang Quan is there, if he is, please deal with Huang Quan first, while the Tai Sui Army and I will take this opportunity to sneak into the enemy's stronghold to search and grab the technical data of the life and death transmission formation 'Dushuo Mountain' and the fragments of the divine seal hidden there.

"The finished product of 'Dushuo Mountain' is located at the Gospel Institute headquarters. We can try to return to the world of the living through it later. However, in order to activate 'Dushuo Mountain', we must first go through an unknown process. The requirements for completing this process should be written in the technical data, so even if we just want to return to the world of the living, we must get that technical data."

After listening to it, I asked, "——There is actually a matter of fragments of the divine seal?"

"The foundation for realizing 'Dushuo Mountain' is the power of the divine seal fragment. This is why I wanted you to hand over this technical information to Yuchi in the beginning..." No. 7 explained patiently, "Only Yuchi, who is both a super formation master and a virtual realm apostle, can understand and use this technical information as quickly as possible."

It was reasonable. Luo Shan had been unable to find the door of life and death for more than a hundred years, but the Gospel House could push it open under the harsh conditions of the afterlife, and it could only rely on that unreasonable power.

Thinking about it this way, Mingzhuo's decision to ask Shenzhao to help him study how to open the door to Naraku through the power of the fragments of the divine seal was very correct. It's a pity that Shenzhao died too early.

Although No. 7 said that she would beg me to join the battle, I had no reason to refuse her request. Getting the technical information of the life and death teleportation formation "Dushuo Mountain" was something I had to do. The difference was that in this cooperative relationship, I was the dominant party, so she had to be humble in advance.

"Anything else you want to ask?" asked No. 7.

Xiaowan looked at me and raised her hand.

"What's your problem?" Number Seven asked.

"Ms. No. 7, I want to ask you about someone." Xiao Wan said solemnly, "Have you ever heard of the name 'Ma Zao'?"

Hearing this, No. 7's eyes changed slightly.

I also realized it belatedly. The information that No. 7 had given me before was too important. It was no exaggeration to say that it had changed the way I would look at the world from now on. I inevitably focused all my attention on it. To the point that I forgot for a moment that I should have asked No. 7 about Ma Zao.

No. 7 was Tai Sui's confidant, a senior official of the Gospel Institute, and a demigod. Ma Zao was also one of the demigods of the Gospel Institute. It is impossible for No. 7 not to know the information about Ma Zao.

It is even possible that these two people were old acquaintances in the past, and had some past events that Xiaowan and I were not aware of.

"Mazao...what a nostalgic name." Number 7 said with a complicated tone, "...Yes, I know about her."

Xiao Wan's attitude became a little nervous. She asked in a tentative tone: "Can you tell me what you know about her?"

"That's my request too," I added.

At the same time, he observed the reaction of No. 7, pricked up his ears, and told himself not to miss every word that followed.

Number 7 nodded, with a look of nostalgia on his face, and answered: "Huang Quan has many students in the Gospel Academy. Ma Zao is the best among them and is regarded as Huang Quan's personal disciple. To this day, when it comes to the speed of progress, no one in the Gospel Academy can compare with her. Before I became Tai Sui's confidant, she was already Huang Quan's confidant and had an extremely high status and authority in the Gospel Academy.

"Before her betrayal, there were only three gods in the Gospel Court: Yama, Huangquan, and Taisui. Many people believed that she was the most likely genius to become the fourth god."
