From the end of the world

Chapter 575: War Begins
Huang Quan was looking for a way out of the human genocide plan because he thought the inhumane nature of the plan would lead to betrayal and division within the Gospel Academy, and would be detrimental to the subsequent rebellion of Luo Shan's Great Impermanence. He thought he might need to make some compromises to make his plan less inhumane.

As for the results, the other two paths he found seemed to be a compromise, but also seemed not to be a compromise. Based on the vague emotions revealed in the document, he seemed to feel that he had made a lot of concessions, but no matter which path he took, it would drive all of humanity to death.

Why didn't he explore in the direction of the divine seal?

As long as all the fragments of the God Seal can be collected - although it is not known how to restore the fragments of the God Seal to the God Seal, it should be clear that the God Seal has the power to save the world. It is not possible to exclude the God Seal from the discussion just because it is the "murder weapon" that caused the current situation of the world. At least the Great Impermanence of Luoshan is planning to use the power of the God Seal to prevent the end of the world. It is impossible to say that Huangquan can't think of it.

Or did he just not mention it in this part of the documents, but wrote about it in other documents? I don't think so. For some reason, I feel that Huang Quan deliberately avoided the option of the divine seal.

It seemed that for some reason, he believed that the Divine Seal could not save the world, or he believed that using the Divine Seal to save the world would come at a price that he could not accept... In his mind, this price was even higher than "personally destroying the old human history and almost all existing human beings."

"Number Seven, since you have rejected the Gospel Institute's human genocide plan, do you have a more perfect plan than this one? One that does not require the large-scale massacre of existing humans and can actually save the world?" I said.

"Of course. In the face of a huge crisis, if you can't come up with an alternative plan, you shouldn't deny the plans proposed by others. Otherwise, it would just be throwing a tantrum and be irresponsible." No. 7 said.

Hearing this, Xiaowan seemed to want to say something, but stopped after thinking for a moment. I could imagine what she wanted to say by observing the emotions that emerged on the surface of her soul. Even if she couldn't come up with an alternative plan, she should unconditionally deny a plan like the Gospel House. Slaughtering humans in order to save the world is completely putting the cart before the horse - she probably thought so.

Some of Xiaowan's emotional patterns are similar to Zhu Shi's, which means that her values ​​are very close to Zhu Shi's; on the other hand, she can make a choice that Zhu Shi would never make, which is to only value himself and important people. It's like the two sides of a coin, seemingly the same, but actually opposite.

To use the metaphor that Zhu Shi likes to use, part of Xiao Wan’s personality pattern is like “the darkened Zhu Shi”.

"I'm sure you can guess my plan, which is to use the Divine Seal." Number 7 said, "Since the Divine Seal has the power to destroy the world, and it is actually the one that destroyed the world, then as long as we get the Divine Seal, we can withdraw this wrong wish, or repair the wrong human history."

"But isn't our personality built on this 'wrong human history'?" I said, "Once all the mistakes are corrected through the divine seal, it means that we who live in the present will also be 'corrected'.

"After that, we may live in a different world with another kind of memory and another kind of self. Maybe that is how the world should be, but it is ultimately a different world and a different us.

"Can you accept being eliminated as you are now?"

This is also the only possibility I can imagine at the moment, that Huang Quan and the others do not consider using the divine seal to resolve the doomsday crisis.

And Number 7 also paused, then said: "-No, it won't turn out like that."

"On what basis?" I asked.

"The Divine Seal is a power that can fulfill all wishes." Number 7 said firmly, "To correct the wrong human history without affecting us living in the present, even though this wish is logically contradictory, it is not enough to be the reason why the Divine Seal cannot fulfill it.

"To put it another way, even if we don't correct the mistakes in human history, it doesn't matter. We can change our wish. For example, under the premise of maintaining the current self-contradictory human history, we can use the power of the Divine Seal to forcibly prevent the end of the world from ever coming.

"What about 'the price that must be paid' and 'unbearable side effects'... Any obstacles that sound reasonable are just sophistry in the face of omniscience and omnipotence. They don't exist."

Her statement sounded a bit stubborn, but it made sense, and it was also consistent with my understanding of the Divine Seal. However, it was difficult to explain Huang Quan's vague avoidance of the Divine Seal's power.

After saying that, No. 7 threw the Chengjing monk aside, closed his eyes again, and was silent for two or three seconds, then said: "...I have completely mastered all aspects of the Huangquan Gospel Institute, and have almost locked on the place where the Dushuo Mountain technical data and the fragments of the divine seal are suspected to be stored.

"Sure enough, those suspicious places are all heavily guarded. I can't make a breakthrough in a short period of time, and I will definitely be detected by Huang Quan the first time I try to break through."

I nodded: "So next, it's my turn to deal with Huang Quan."

"please."

As he spoke, No. 7 walked to Xiao Wan's side. Xiao Wan took a step forward towards me, hugged my waist, and said in a devout prayer: "Brother Zhuang Cheng, I wish you a triumphant return."

Along with these words, the power of blessing she exerted on me seemed to be renewed and become more active.

Number 7 put his hand on Xiaowan's shoulder, and then they both disappeared in front of me. The stealth phase has been declared over, and now Xiaowan doesn't need to stay in the enemy's hinterland any longer.

I quickly summoned the Slag Straight Sword and stabbed it into my body.

The third form - "Corona".

As his body transformed into a stellar light body, a sea of ​​fire suddenly broke out with himself as the center, engulfing the Yellow Springs Gospel Temple in an instant.

The first to bear the brunt was the Chengjing monk next to him. He probably didn't even have time to realize his own death before he turned into ashes. However, he was actually the only one who died in the sea of ​​fire. Considering that No. 7's Tai Sui Army also had spies undercover in Huangquan Gospel Temple, I couldn't tell who was who and who was not. In addition, No. 7 had to look for "Dushuo Mountain" technical information in the Gospel Temple next, so I showed mercy and didn't cause much damage to those monks and buildings.

But Huangquan was different. I had no intention of including it in the whitelist of the sea of ​​fire. As the sea of ​​fire spread, my spirit also spread throughout the area and sensed the scene where Huangquan was.

He was resting in a rest room with his eyes closed. When the fire touched his body, he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "—Zhuang Cheng!"

All the monks inside and outside the Gospel Monastery showed different reactions to this sudden sea of ​​fire attack, and a lot of panic emotions and various mana fluctuations rose in various places. I let my voice boom in this area as the opening remarks of the battle.

"Huang Quan, I'm here to kill you."

As I spoke, I took a step forward. The sea of ​​fire that was everywhere here was my portal to everywhere. This step directly sent me to the front of Huangquan. My right hand turned into a hand knife and slashed forward.

Huang Quan suddenly ducked his body, and the walls and ceiling behind him were all blown away by an overwhelming heat force, along with the roofs of the distant buildings and the tops of the endless mountains in the distance outside the Huang Quan Gospel Temple were all shattered out of thin air.

He is really good at hiding, but my next strike will kill him.

The distance was so close, and with the blessing of the small bowl, my mind completely locked onto Huang Quan's head. Then I swung my left hand, wanting to burn this enemy completely with flames. The surrounding flames also cooperated to outflank him, trying to block his retreat. He had nowhere to escape.

Perhaps I was too focused on Huang Quan, so I didn't have time to notice the threats from other directions. When another wave of mana appeared, I didn't have time to dodge and could only make a defensive posture.

A black water cannon pierced the floor beneath my feet, and the aftermath shattered the room and the building it was in. My body and soul were shattered like tofu hit by a hammer. At the same time, a huge monster a hundred meters long, like a dragon, emerged from under the ruins of the building and rushed straight into the sky.

The great demon Xuanwu is still alive——and is actually in this place!

Is this a coincidence? No, it can only be considered that Huang Quan deliberately used means of inducement to arrange the Great Demon Xuanwu nearby in advance.

This is simply absurd. The Doomsday Demon can be said to be the embodiment of the killing intention of Naraku Gospel against humans. Even if there is some unknown negotiation between the Gospel Institute and Naraku Gospel, the Demon will not become a partner of the Gospel Institute. Even if it is Huangquan, the most he can do is to make the Demon ignore him, but he cannot control him. Placing the Demon Xuanwu in his own hinterland is not a normal idea.

Did he know I was coming?
I re-condensed my body in the sky more than ten kilometers away from Huangquan Gospel Temple, while Huangquan and the great demon Xuanwu moved towards me as fast as meteors.

From a distance, I saw the expression on Huang Quan's face and heard his voice.

"I did think that a kid like you who likes to do adventurous things might attack my home ground, so I made the corresponding preparations in advance...but you actually dared to fall into the trap!" He showed a ferocious smile.
