Thanks for the invitation, I just entered the chat group after traveling through Under One Person.

Chapter 230 The Mischievous Trio
"Fellow Daoist Su Yun, we meet again." A figure used the interdimensional talisman in the chat group and, with Su Yun's consent, appeared in this world of one person that had undergone earth-shattering changes.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, thank you for your trouble," Su Yun replied with a smile. He sized up Venerable Bai. Although he had seen him before in the Ghost World, perhaps due to the atmosphere of that world, Venerable Bai seemed even more charming this time.

He was incredibly handsome, androgynous, with exquisitely beautiful features, as if he were a work of art meticulously sculpted by the heavens. His skin was fair and delicate, radiating a soft glow like mutton fat jade, and his cheeks were slightly flushed, adding to his vitality and energy.

His eyes were bright and deep, like twinkling stars in the night sky. He wore a white robe, whiter than snow, its hem fluttering, like a celestial being descended to earth. The white robe was simple yet elegant, without excessive decoration. Exquisite cloud patterns were embroidered on the collar and cuffs, and as he moved, the cloud patterns seemed to flow, adding to the mysterious atmosphere.

A white ribbon was tied around her waist, its ends hanging down naturally and swaying in the wind, giving her a light and graceful appearance. She possessed a unique and ethereal charm, exuding an otherworldly aura, as if she were a celestial being untouched by worldly concerns.

“No trouble at all, I’m quite interested in this as well.” Venerable White was already very interested in the mechanics of the Holy Grail system, otherwise he wouldn’t have wanted a small Holy Grail to study. In the end, all he got was the black mud produced by this thing.

However, through the black mud in the Lesser Grail, the White Venerable also discovered a lot of things. Since Su Yun had the idea of ​​creating his own "Holy Grail War," which was an evolved version of the War of the Gods, the White Venerable naturally gave his full support.

"We'll have to wait a little longer; Mr. Kongming will also be coming." Su Yun and Venerable Bai found a comfortable spot in the living room to sit down. Zhuge Kongming would also be involved in the arrangements for this war of the gods.

Kongming, having personally embodied the Lesser Grail as a Heroic Spirit, possesses a profound understanding of the Holy Grail War's mechanics. If Artoria hadn't been still in the training phase, tossed into the shallows of the Abyss by the toad, Su Yun would have considered inviting her to form a "War of the Gods" planning team.

Venerable Bai sat for a while, looking at the electronic devices in Su Yun's villa, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy, looking like he was eager to try them out.

After gesturing to Venerable Bai that he could disassemble the devices as he pleased, Su Yun couldn't help but laugh and say, "Fellow Daoist Bai already has the opportunity to study the technological equipment of the Rick Universe, so why are you still so interested in these ordinary electronic devices?"

Venerable Bai gently disassembled the curved television on the wall. Spiritual energy seeped into the casing through his fingertips, causing the outer shell to crack silently like a butterfly spreading its wings. He held the floating circuit board in one hand, and with a flick of his other finger, several streams of spiritual energy transformed into miniature tweezers, holding capacitors thinner than a hair in his palm. He said:

“Rick’s technological creations don’t include this kind of antique structure that uses copper wire to cut magnetic fields to generate electricity…” As he spoke, Venerable White began assembling the television. After assembling it for a while, he began to skillfully inscribe magic circles on it.

The white-haired venerable one suddenly condensed spiritual energy into laser light at his fingertips, etching spiral patterns on the resistive array, and continued to explain: "I am simply interested in this unique mechanical system."

Su Yun nodded thoughtfully. Rick's technological level was already on par with metaphysics and even theology, a completely different creation from the electronic devices they usually used. No wonder Venerable White still enjoyed disassembling TVs and air conditioners after studying Rick's technological products. However, his assembly skills were still so advanced, and he liked to add some magic arrays to enhance these devices.

A moment later, another figure appeared in the living room. It was Zhuge Liang, eight feet tall, with a magnificent appearance, certainly deserving of the title "handsome man." His features were delicate, his skin fair, and he gave off a gentle and refined air. His eyes were long and narrow, always squinting, as if he were pondering various strategies, his gaze revealing wisdom and depth.

"Brother Su Yun, Fellow Daoist Bai, we meet again." Zhuge Kongming smiled, his eyes narrowed. The two greeted Zhuge Kongming in return, and then got straight to the point.

The three began to discuss their strategy based on the situation of the Holy Grail War. A crucial aspect of the Holy Grail War was the massive magic circle located beneath Mount Enzo in Fuyuki City. It was tens of meters in diameter, its surface covered with mysterious patterns, and connected to the world's spiritual veins through the earth's ley lines network—this was the energy source for its activation.

At the same time, Kongming also listed several modules, including mana accumulation, master selection, heroic spirit summoning, heroic spirit classes, command seal mechanics, war rules, and so on. The gods of various countries are now ready-made "heroic spirits," so summoning heroic spirits and the mana accumulation required for summoning them don't need to be arranged by them. Su Yun's idea was to find corresponding masters for these divine "heroic spirits," binding them together to participate in the war of the gods; otherwise, it would just be a simple battle between gods, not like the Holy Grail War at all.

If a Master is bound to a Servant, then a Command Seal mechanism is necessary. In the early stages of the Holy Grail War, there was no Command Seal mechanism, which caused Servants to frequently go out of control. This flaw was only resolved when Zouken Matou developed the Command Seal system and achieved absolute control over Servants through Magic Crests.

If they want to replicate something like the Holy Grail War or the War of the Gods, then the mechanism for restraining the gods' "Heroic Spirits" and their Masters must be perfected. Otherwise, given the way these gods act, the Master would probably be killed as soon as they bind with them.

"In fact, the various natural energy patterns scattered across the globe, as well as the power contained in the earth's veins, can completely serve as world-class magical circuits, forming unique energy sources and establishing a system mechanism for the war of the gods," Zhuge Kongming suggested after thinking for a while.

Through discussion, many interesting suggestions were put forward. For example, the bloodline resonance contract between gods and masters, which is established between masters through resonance with the gods themselves, and a bloodline contract is formed after the relationship is established.

The bloodline contract connects the layout of the world and the earth. When the contract is established, the talisman will draw the essence and blood of the master and the god and fuse them to form a "blood contract mark".

While bloodline contracts lack the Command Seals mechanism's ability to forcibly command Servants, the death of a Master forces the god to be forcibly separated from the mortal realm. This compels the gods participating in the War of the Gods to protect their Masters if they don't want to be sealed away, thus adding difficulty to the game.

Zhuge Liang lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, conjuring a world map out of thin air. Golden energy lines lit up among the mountains and rivers, crisscrossing and extending like the blood vessels of the earth.

"With the Kunlun Dragon Vein of China as the central hub, and the Yuktra Hill Tree Vein of Northern Europe, the Valley Vein of Africa, and the Andean Spirit Line of South America as fulcrums, the spiritual veins of several continents can form a stable structure. But the key lies in how to gather the dispersed power of the ley lines into a controllable energy source."

The White Venerable casually used his spiritual power to condense miniature mountains and rivers on this map. When his fingertip touched the Rocky Mountains, gear-shaped patterns appeared on the surface of the mountains: "We can refer to the gravity compression technology of the Rick Cosmic Module in the mall, and forcibly compress the Qi flow with the spiritual pressure of the earth's veins. However, we need a core device similar to the Greater Grail to convert this energy into the Qi flow needed to control these gods."

Su Yun stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping over the constantly flashing Qi lines on the map: "The 'soul erosion anchoring mechanism' that Fellow Daoist Bai deciphered from the Holy Grail's black mud might come in handy. We can transform it into a ley line resonance module, making each natural Qi formation an anchor point, which will not only collect energy but also force these guys to participate."

"Gah gah gah..." After discussing some matters, the three let out an evil, villainous laugh. Of course, even with that laugh, Venerable White remained incredibly charming. Fortunately, Venerable White's charm was somewhat weakened in other worlds, so it had no effect on them.

The gods from various countries who were fighting for the power of their faith felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being watched by some evil spirit. They were unaware that their future had already been clearly arranged.

“Now that we have a direction for collecting and transforming ley line energy, the selection of Masters becomes of paramount importance.” Zhuge Kongming’s eyes flashed with a thoughtful light. “This Master not only needs to be able to establish a bloodline resonance contract with a god, but their strength certainly does not need to exceed that of the god with whom the contract is made. However, we can leave the matter of resonance to fate and make a random contract.”

"Anyway, you can just contract with a god from your own country and have someone from that country act as your master," Su Yun said casually. However, according to this rule, China has a significant advantage. If the master is a transmigrator like Yi Qing, it's equivalent to having two "gods" on one side.
