Chapter 945 Sprite Arrives
"I see. It seems you have a very good understanding of the [Superpower Bank]." Xia Shou patted Jiang Wengao on the shoulder, saying with admiration, "You've thought long ahead."

He had a complete understanding of Jiang Wengao's plans and ideas.

Xiao Gao wanted to transfer his fire-based superpowers to him through the Superpower Bank.

However, because the Superpower Bank can only lend for a very short period of time, even if one temporarily possesses the ability, it is impossible to be safe in the long term for learning the Bloodfire Forbidden Knowledge.

According to the description of the Superpower Bank, as long as the lender dies, the superpower will be completely owned by him after being frozen for two months. Therefore, Xiao Gao finally decided to transfer the superpower to him completely by committing suicide.

In this way, he possesses both the Desire Mask, which allows him to maintain a blood-like state throughout his body, and the Flame Ability, which allows him to elementalize. This greatly increases his tolerance for the Blood and Fire Forbidden Knowledge, enabling him to cross that threshold.

Xia Shou guessed that Xiao Gao believed he would definitely be able to learn this forbidden knowledge ten years from now, and in order to make this possibility of ten years from now come true, he had to die in the present, so he decided to commit suicide to transfer his superpower.

Once the transfer is successful, he can summon his future self from ten years in the future through the centipede's remaining eye, and fight Sprite in his peak condition.

"What price do you have to pay for having a damaged eye? The price is huge, what if you can't summon them?" Xia Shou questioned.

"With ten years, Brother Shou, you will definitely be able to handle it in the future. With the power of real blood and fire, you will definitely be able to defeat Sprite!"

"Hmph, that's a nice idea. You want to learn forbidden knowledge using that method? Fire abilities might be triggered passively, but with me wearing a mask, I'd have to prepare in advance to enter. Have you considered that?"

“This…” Jiang Wengao was speechless.

Xia Shou sighed and said nothing more.

It's not that he can't understand Xiao Gao. Under such circumstances, with so much pressure and such a hopeless future ahead, it's already commendable that Xiao Gao was willing to sacrifice himself in the end to have a clear conscience. Asking him to force himself to find the answer to an unsolvable problem is indeed too much to ask.

But another fact is... Xiao Gao is still too young.

His nerves aren't thick enough, and his heart isn't big enough.

"This plan is rubbish and definitely can't be implemented. Besides, you've never been able to predict my future accurately, right? You think I'll fail because you know I'll fail based on the future that Kehen understands, right?"

Jiang Wengao grunted in agreement.

Xia Shou nodded and said seriously, "The prisoner's life memories that Ke Hen saw are real, but the information that the prisoner obtained may not be real; there are deviations in them."

"No way!!"

"Why not? The orders you're giving now are simply to have all the top-secret information related to this battle given to that prisoner after the battle is over, and to keep him alive and in good physical and mental condition until ten years from now."

The idea is correct, but there might be mistakes in execution.

To give a simple example, if you make up your mind now and tattoo all the important information about this event on your face, you won't need to exchange it with your missing eye. I can just use my missing eye to observe what you will look like in the future and obtain the information directly through the tattoo text.

But this is almost impossible to do. Even if I tell you the method, you still could never do it.

If you don't believe me, you can try. Now I'm telling you clearly—Jiang Wengao, you must live on, fight with all your might to live on, and live to ten years from now. No matter what the outcome of this battle is, you must tattoo the most important intelligence on the most conspicuous part of your body.

"If we do this, we can significantly increase our current win rate. Can you do it?"

"Yes!" Jiang Wengao nodded vigorously.

"It's a pity I already summoned you once, otherwise I could have slapped you in the face. It's easy to say, but in reality, no one can do it, because people live in the present. No one will pay for something that happened ten years ago. Before a difficulty is overcome, you will certainly feel that you will make any effort to overcome it, but once the difficulty has been overcome, the situation is different."

Xiao Gao, did you ever dream of becoming an astronaut when you were little?

Yes, why are you asking?

"Look, you can't even stick to your dream from ten years ago, let alone get a tattoo on your face. What are you so sure about?"
That's just how it is. Even if you give the control bureau instructions, once the battle is over, the control bureau will become lax in enforcing those instructions, and it may even be easy for someone to exploit loopholes.

The best evidence is that Kehen also discovered that someone was passing false information to us through that prisoner.

Jiang Wengao's expression grew increasingly bewildered: "So what Sister Ke saw might not be reliable?"

"It's up to your judgment. I think things are fine as they are. Let's fight Sprite head-on right here. Who says we're bound to lose?"

Jiang Wengao looked up in surprise: "So confident?"

“Sprite was the strongest of the Scar Era. Although I am not Rosa, I am the strongest of this era. There’s no reason for me to back down before the fight even begins.” Xia Shou looked at Su Weiyu and said confidently, “I’ve already thought of a winning strategy!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ciana, covered in bandages, pushed open the wooden door: "New information has arrived. Spreadt has already set off with his men."

Jiang Wengao clenched his fists, his muscles tensing.

Shangguan Yan filled in the last number in the last cell of the Sudoku puzzle, slowly stood up, and something strange stirred slightly deep within his crimson pupils.

"It's finally here," she murmured to herself in a voice only she could hear.

She was actually quite familiar with this tense atmosphere.

She had experienced similar atmospheres many times, those thrilling jobs that felt like walking a tightrope, like a highly skilled circus performer tossing the safety of millions of people into the air like glass balls.

She was the one who created this kind of atmosphere, so how could she possibly be afraid of that King of Rift?

Ultimately, the King of Rift was merely a king among men, and he never attained the title of a fully-fledged king before his death.

She pulled back the foot that had already crossed the threshold of the divine kingdom.

Although those feelings, which were not human, were forgotten the moment the contract was established, everything that happened still left a trace. Even earthly emperors could not compare to those who had peered into the divine realm.

Ordinary people, who can see the true nature of power?

But why did Sprite ultimately win in the future timeline that Kehen saw?
She was curious.

She won't lose.

It's impossible for us to lose.

So what exactly led to those consequences?
Could it be the fishermen on the Shi River that surprised her?
