From the end of the world

Chapter 567 Little Bowl Innocent
"The flame of the Great Demon of Disaster?" Number Seven blurted out.

Even Xiaowan made a surprised nasal sound next to my cheek.

These two people probably saw me use the Eclipse Fire for the first time, no wonder they were surprised. But in fact, the Eclipse Fire I used now was different from the "Eclipse" I used in the past.

In the past, the "Solar Eclipse" I used was a special move that required a lot of ordinary flames to be summoned and condensed before it could be completed, and it required a lot of preparatory actions. But now I can naturally transform the black solar eclipse fire, which means that my understanding of the solar eclipse fire has achieved a qualitative change.

The most direct experience I gained from the battle with the Great Demon of Disaster was the experience of the Eclipse Form. Compared to how to better manipulate the normal flame power I possess, I am more familiar with how to use the black flame. Of course, the black flame is a power that deviates from the main purpose of flame, and it is too different from the path I am walking now. Even though I have more experience, in practice I am still more comfortable using the normal flame power.

In fact, the black flames I transformed now were not as extreme as those of the Great Demon of Disaster. Although it could be said that I had deviated from the fire element, it could not be said that I had completely become the earth element. I was in a transitional state of "no village in front, no shop behind".

This kind of black flame can avoid the attribute restraint of the Great Demon Black Tortoise, but it is not enough to restrain the Great Demon Black Tortoise in turn. Moreover, if it is used too many times and for too long, it will also lead to the deviation of my own flame power. I have finally accumulated so much proficiency in flame power, and I don’t plan to "change my job" to become a great demon of disaster.

Whether I can adapt to the power of other attributes is secondary. After changing the power attribute, I will probably become unable to use slag weapons, and my combat power will be reduced by a level. I have already defeated the Great Demon of Disaster in actual combat, proving that I am stronger, so why should I become the other party?

I don't want to change my evolutionary path just to better suppress the Great Demon Black Tortoise. This is enough for now. Besides, the black flame can only change its own properties, and it has not broken away from the framework of the Four Symbols and Five Elements.

In the past, I have wondered whether "solar eclipse" could be the key clue to escape from the Four Symbols and Five Elements system and then escape from the clutches of the Mountain and the Two Elements. In the end, the end of this wrong evolutionary route of "solar eclipse" was just moving from "fire element" to "earth element", and it was still the Four Symbols and Five Elements system in essence.

Once I encounter the real Shan Liangyi, there will still be no fundamental difference. In fact, considering that the power of earth is Shan Liangyi's "private domain", his mastery of this power is likely to be far beyond the reach of all the previous generations of Da Wuchang. The fire attribute power I am using now will not be restrained by the earth magic power, but if I run on the same track as Shan Liangyi, I will probably be restrained to the point of being completely defeated by him at the experience level.

While thinking about the future, I explained the origin of the black flame to Xiaowan and No. 7, and then asked: "Xiaowan, I feel that your blessing is still continuing in me... Is your energy okay?"

The blessing of the small bowl is an essential factor for my victory in defeating the Great Demon of Disaster, and it is also an indispensable force in subsequent battles.

Apart from anything else, my true spirit power is actually based on the blessing of the small bowl. Without this blessing, it is just a useless power that can change the frequency of my mana fluctuations, and it is even more impossible to use it to truly kill Huang Quan, who has an immortal body.

Also, if it weren't for this ongoing blessing state, I wouldn't be able to summon this black flame so easily right now.

It will take me some time to fully digest the experience of the Great Demon of Disaster and to fully comprehend the correct evolutionary path deduced from it. If it were normal, it would take me at least a year to fully master it; but with the blessing continuing, it would only take a few days to a dozen days to complete all the progress.

More importantly, I am blessed to be able to enter the "state of completion" ahead of time.

The small bowl cannot directly increase my strength, but the bonus it brings is much stronger than directly increasing my strength. Her existence may have subverted my understanding of the concept of strength in a certain sense.

And then she gave a great piece of good news.

"No problem... As long as I keep in contact with Brother Zhuang Cheng, I can keep this blessing." She said, "And as long as Brother Zhuang Cheng's heat energy mark is planted on my body, I am equivalent to being in close contact with Brother Zhuang Cheng.

"The consumption of energy is not important. The power in this aspect is basically provided by the fragments of the divine seal. As for me, I just need to keep hoping that everything goes well for Brother Zhuang Cheng."

After hearing this, No. 7 couldn't help but ask, "No... I also know a little bit about things related to the Son of Divinity. Even if you can bless people in the same camp as you, if it is for a human god, it is a very high-intensity blessing, and you need to put yourself in a state of no evil thoughts... You have been maintaining a state of no evil thoughts towards Zhuang Cheng, don't you feel tired?"

Xiao Wan asked back as a matter of course: "Why are you tired?"

"Uh..." No. 7 was speechless. Even when facing their parents, spouses, and children, it is difficult for humans to always be free of evil thoughts. Occasional complaints, resentment, and even curses are the norm. Even if you can verbally affirm a person, it is almost an impossible challenge psychologically. Even if you force yourself to think that way, you will unconsciously feel disgust and boredom, and even the situation of "having to force yourself to think that way" itself will become the source of negative thoughts.

And Xiaowan actually thinks that she can always fully affirm me... She once said that I am the embodiment of her dream, so she will stand by my side without a doubt... Are those words actually true at all?
Does she really think that trusting me is trusting herself, and that she and I are a true community of shared destiny?
To be honest, being placed with such high expectations can easily cause a lot of psychological pressure, fearing that one will disappoint the other party. The warm body of the little girl behind him, hugging his neck intimately and tightly against his back, seemed to have become something heavy.

Could it be that even my feelings that "I don't want to disappoint" were also included in Xiaowan's calculations? I couldn't help but think so.

Number 7 glanced at the small bowl, then looked at me, and seemed a little afraid to ask any more questions.

"Oh right... Number 7, what are you going to do next?" I asked, "According to the plan we discussed before, we are going to attack Huangquan Gospel Temple, and your Tai Sui Army will be responsible for invading the interior to search for the technical data of 'Dushuo Mountain' and the fragments of the divine seal... But now that the Tai Sui Army has been completely wiped out, do you still want to continue with this plan?"

Hearing this, No. 7 showed a very distressed expression, and then said: "...First of all, the Taisui Army was not completely destroyed.

"There are a lot of devices infused with my magic power inside the base. When the Tai Sui Army encounters an enemy that they cannot defeat, these devices will be activated immediately to transport the Tai Sui Army to a safe area...

"Of course, since the attackers were great demons, these tools couldn't really be of much use, but 20 to 30 percent of the people were still luckily diverted away... Maybe it's because the great demon Xuanwu didn't put much effort into the weak group."

An organization was slaughtered in one fell swoop, with only 20% to 30% of its members left. This can already be declared destroyed, right? I couldn't help but have such a thought, but I didn't say it out loud.

Number 7 went on to say, "In addition, some of the Tai Sui Army are operating outside as ordinary survivor teams. Together with the spies lurking inside the Gospel Institute, they can still barely unite into an organized force again."

"But this will probably take a long time. I don't think they will be able to catch up with this operation. Or do you want to prepare for a while longer?" I asked.

Xiao Wan suddenly said, "No... No, we absolutely cannot prepare, we must attack now."

Seeing Xiaowan suddenly make such a radical statement, No. 7 was stunned for a moment, then looked thoughtful, and then suddenly realized.

"Yes, we absolutely cannot wait! Huang Quan has already realized your existence. If you continue to waste time, Huang Quan will definitely join forces with other gods and goddesses in the Gospel Institute to assassinate you." She couldn't help but say.

I understood the logic, and then found the flaw in it. "Wasting time? 'Time' cannot be a reference factor in the afterlife. From our perspective, Huang Quan escaped by committing suicide not long ago. It is likely that it is not the case in Huang Quan's place, right?"

"Brother Zhuang Cheng, you can rest assured about this. Huang Quan and you now are both human gods with high adaptability and understanding of the chaotic time and space in the afterlife. Your Law of Heaven and Earth will automatically suppress the surrounding time and space. The chaotic afterlife for us is relatively orderly for you." Xiao Wan explained very patiently, "Plus, you have had direct communication and contact before, so the flow of time between you should not be too different now. Huang Quan has just been resurrected at most. We must seize the time and make a quick decision."

"I see..." I accepted Xiaowan's statement.

Number 7 also nodded, as if he had prepared his next words, and continued: "So... this time the operation will be carried out by us here.

"It's just that the details need to be changed. The original plan was for you to attack Huangquan Gospel Temple directly from the outside, and I would lead a large number of people to invade its interior at the same time. But now we need to sneak into it first, and after finding out the approximate location of the 'Dushuo Mountain' technical data and the fragments of the divine seal, we can apply the original action process.

"The location where the two items are stored must be heavily guarded. It is impossible to take them away secretly. You can only break in by force. And after Huang Quan commits suicide, he will most likely return to the Gospel Temple base he is in charge of. At that time, he will definitely not sit idly by. You will have to be his opponent.

"The last point is that this infiltration process also requires Xiaowan's participation."
