Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 394 Awakening Talent and Hope for Resurrection

After receiving Qinglong's promise.

Wu Wang was clearly much more relaxed than before.

I also took this opportunity to ask the question I had earlier.

When Wu Wang mentioned the plane crash five years ago, Wu Xiaoyou, who was standing next to him, was clearly a little downcast.

After all, whenever it's brought up, it's a painful experience that changes everything for her.

After a moment of silence, Qinglong...

He sighed and said, "It's a pity that this happened. I wasn't in the real world at the time. I was dealing with a very troublesome guy in the Abyss and couldn't come back for the time being. I guess they deliberately took advantage of this opening to make their move."

"I am not an omnipotent god and cannot take care of everything."

“I do know that crying-faced weirdo you mentioned—he is a descendant of the [Pain] God’s messenger, and is skilled at spreading his creator’s faith in various dungeon worlds.”

"As for the relationship between the madwoman at the Pluto Research Institute and the other party..."

"You can rest assured about that. No matter how crazy that madwoman is, she will never hand over the human world to foreign races. She also swore to me with her soul that she would not activate that power by deliberately harming you, and there has been no sign of her breaking that oath so far."

"There must be other hidden details about the plane crash you mentioned. You'll only be able to find out the specifics when you meet her yourself."

Is the crying-faced monster a descendant of the messenger of the god of suffering?

Is it something like the Warlord or the Thorn Prince?

Suddenly, a memory flashed through Wu Wang's mind of the mission he had received in the town of Aiguyi.

One of the side quests is to meet the messenger of [Pain].

However, the intervention of [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] threw the entire artifact battle instance into chaos.

Not only was the seed of the [Sighing Tree] that maintained the instance stolen by himself, but even his final return was not conducted according to the normal procedure. Instead, the big boss banished him to the so-called [Land Forsaken by Gods] to prevent him from being found by other Venerables or Divine Messengers.

In other words, although he seemed to have failed to complete this side quest, he inadvertently avoided a crisis that would have led to a direct confrontation with the mastermind behind the scenes.
Let alone back then, even now, if Wu Wang were captured by the [Pain] messenger in the audience space...

He estimated that he would also find it difficult to escape the clutches of the other party.

If we were to be trapped in the instance world forever, that would be quite troublesome.

"Why do I have to ask her myself? Can't you ask her for me?" Wu Wang asked, somewhat shamelessly.

Since Qinglong knows that crazy woman from the Pluto Research Institute, they must have added each other as friends.

Qinglong doesn't need to personally travel to Antarctica; he can simply open the friends list and send a message.

Upon hearing Wu Wang's question, Qinglong shook his head.

He took a sip of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) and said, "I'm not a local tyrant; I can't command the world with just a word."

"Amidst the crisis of the spiritual calamity coveting the real world, she and I are comrades on the same side. The condition she demanded when she agreed to the oath was—"

"I cannot interfere with any of her experiments or the procedures she follows."

“In fact, I even knew that she had some contact with the Disaster Cult, but I did not interfere.”

"Because her soul remains constant."

Upon hearing this, Wu Wang raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Holy crap, bro, you're not even doing anything about people contacting the [Disaster Cult]?!

Aren't you afraid that crazy woman plans to have connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds?

Are we playing double agent here?
But Qinglong's last words made Wu Wang swallow back the words that were about to slip out.

Because he himself was protected by Qinglong on this basis.

And it seems to be approached from a certain angle...

I was a double agent myself.

He claimed to have contact with the "Disaster Cult" and that he was the "Holy Son of the Desire Sea Spirit Venerable."

It's like the pot calling the kettle black.

I just don't know to what extent Qinglong's so-called ability to see souls actually goes.

It seems they guessed Wu Wang's thoughts.

Qinglong smiled and said, "The essence, I can see the essence of a person's soul."

"I can't put this essential distinction into words. You just need to know that I'm glad to see that your soul is still the same as that of a child."

"Of course, the little girl next to me is the same. Although her physical body is different from that of humans, her soul and thoughts are the same as those of humans, and she is still very innocent, kind and cute."

"I hope you can keep it up forever."

Wu Wang also took another glass of Erguotou and drank it down.

Somewhat uncertainly, he asked, "Is this your talent?"

After saying that, he added, "Wuqingxian is my eldest sister. She once told me about talent, but it seems to be an ability she was born with. She was not able to explain it to me clearly or teach me how to comprehend it."

Anyway, they already know so much about me.

He didn't care about revealing his relationship with his older sister.

So, Wu Wang also told Qinglong about his eldest sister's current situation.

And asked him if there was any good way to revive the eldest sister from her soul state.

But these words were somewhat unexpected by Qinglong.

He truly had no idea that Wuqing Xian and Wu Wang had this connection.

After all, he and the Heartless Immortal had only met once before, in the same instance.

But at that time, the abyss was behaving quite strangely, and then the troublesome guy he had just mentioned came knocking on his door.

Qinglong is also temporarily unable to spare time for other matters.

After confirming that the other party had the same awakened talent, before he could even propose taking her as his disciple, he discovered through a sensory device that she had unfortunately passed away.

At the time, it was only assumed that the Heartless Immortal had died accidentally in some instance.

Or they might be targeted by the descendants of those venerable ones, or even by the venerable ones themselves, and removed as a thorn in their side.

After her death, no investigation was conducted into her true identity in reality.

Looking back now, it's quite a sad state of affairs.

Of course, the Heartless Immortal did not actually die.

Qinglong was still very happy.

"As for the matter of awakening talents, since Xie Zhi is here, I'll tell you all about it together."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a knock sounded on the door.

After receiving Qinglong's reply.

The door opened, and the Xie Zhi walked in.

He had changed back into his normal Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs uniform; the solemn and dignified trial attire from before was gone.

"Chief..."

He had just walked over.

I hadn't even had a chance to say hello.

The Azure Dragon appeared behind the Xie Zhi at a speed that was completely imperceptible to the naked eye.

I raised my hand and patted him on the left shoulder of his clothes.

Amidst the strange and puzzled looks of the crowd.

A paper figure, the same color as the clothing and perfectly attached to his shoulder, slipped off and was caught.

To be honest, before the paper figure slipped off.

Neither Wu Wang nor Wu Xiaoyou, nor even the clothed Xie Zhi himself, were aware of its existence.

Qinglong chuckled and said, "You're still so curious. Try a different method next time. If you can fool me, you'll be successful."

Having said that, he completely ignored the paper figure struggling in his hand.

You can still faintly hear some sophistry coming from the air.

Tear it into pieces and throw it into the trash can.

It's obvious whose work that paper figure was.

At this moment, Qin Shusheng, who was accompanying Xiaoxiao to browse a prop laboratory upstairs in the headquarters, froze on his face with a smile.

After sighing, he rubbed his forehead and helplessly turned his gaze back to the props in front of him.

Only he dared to pull such a trick in front of Qinglong, and even if he got caught, there would be no consequences.

Qin Shusheng really had no malicious intent.

I was just curious about what these people were talking about in the office.

After resolving this little incident.

Qinglong gestured for Xiezhi to sit on the sofa.

He was told about the awakening of his talent.

The general idea is similar to what the eldest sister told Wu Wang. It's the same principle: when humans use their will to control the laws they generate and internalize them, different talents will emerge based on each person's unique characteristics.

However, Qinglong added:
"After you awaken your talent, those Venerables and Divine Messengers will no longer be able to easily plunder the laws within you."

"In other words, the desires, hopes, pain, chaos, and distortions that arise from you will not be absorbed by them, but will instead become the foundation upon which you stand when facing them."

"Otherwise, under normal circumstances, you would never be able to truly look them in the eye."

At this point, his gaze turned to Wu Wang.

With great interest, he asked, "You have a lot of contact with the [Lord of Desire], so he must often make fun of you, right?"

How do you feel when you face His power?

Upon hearing the name of the big boss, Wu Wang's lips twitched.

I was indeed being relentlessly amused by the big boss.

As for facing His power...

To be honest, Wu Wang only experienced these two instances most clearly.

One instance was when the big boss intended to let himself be consumed by desire.

One instance was not long ago when the other party sensed the aura of "death" on me and tried to probe me.

Without a doubt, both times he felt utterly hopeless.

"Not only are they so powerful that they are powerless to resist, but they are also unable to even muster the thought of resistance, like fish on a chopping board at the mercy of others."

He didn't exaggerate at all.

If the Abyss God hadn't helped to eliminate the other party's influence...

No matter how many times Wu Wang experienced it, he could only endure the same turbulent waves as when he was first thrown into the sea of ​​desire the second time.

It will only thrash around a couple of times before it's completely finished.

“Very well, then you should now understand that the root of your inability to resist lies in the fact that the laws governing you are subject to His control.” The Azure Dragon’s expression became slightly serious: “No matter how powerful you are, it’s useless, because to Him, it can even be His power.”

Upon hearing this, the Xie Zhi couldn't help but click its tongue in amazement.

This is absolutely outrageous!
Logically speaking, it is normal for any intelligent being to have various thoughts.

But as long as you have these thoughts, let alone resist them, you don't even have the right to stand up straight in front of them!

Then Qinglong changed his tone and continued:

"Therefore, in my view, awakening one's talents is the first essential element for humanity when facing a Venerable One."

"For example, starting today, when the two of you face the [Lord of Desire] at the same time."

“At least the Xie Zhi can stand on the sea of ​​desire on its own, while you must get its permission.”

Wu Wang could tell that Qinglong meant to exclude the factor of "death".

I can't hold my head high in front of the big boss, and even standing on the sea of ​​desire is a luxury.

that's the truth.

Every time I appear in the Sea of ​​Desire in the audience space, I have to wait for the big boss to pull me out.

Thinking of this, Wu Wang couldn't help but feel helpless.

He certainly didn't want to be manipulated like this; that feeling of powerlessness was just too unbearable.

It seems that I have no choice but to take this path of awakening my talent!

But then, Qinglong's words were like a bucket of cold water, completely extinguishing Wu Wang's newly ignited fighting spirit.

"Aside from those born with this ability, the only way to awaken one's talent is like the Xie Zhi—"

"Only by taking a law as the basis for direction and thoroughly implementing this belief from the soul to the body can one have a slight chance of perceiving the existence of the corresponding law."

"Only after you have perceived it can you talk about how to retain it."

"The justice of the Xie Zhi clearly leans towards [order]."

"Therefore, his talent is also closely related to this."

Upon hearing Qinglong's words, Xiezhi also looked down at his hands.

A moment later, the codex and sword reappeared.

He nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I can feel it."

"When attacking a guilty person, the power of this sword increases almost exponentially, and it can even be said that it can absolutely break through a person's defenses regardless of the difference in strength."

"The code of law can set rules within a certain scope, unlike my previous court which only used mental power to restrict those affected. Anyone with mental power exceeding mine could remain unaffected."

"With the current rules, even someone with mental strength surpassing mine cannot break through the influence as long as they still possess some kind of [order]."

"And every time I slay a sinner, their karmic fire will permanently enhance my power."

This ability is incredibly powerful, both in terms of its maximum potential and its current applicability!

When the Xie Zhi has killed enough sinners.

Given time, he might actually become the scales of justice that measure fairness in the world.

Hearing the Xie Zhi explain its innate abilities.

Wu Wang was incredibly envious.

But it only stays at the level of envy.

Jealousy, however, did not arise at all.

Because these are all things that the Xie Zhi (a mythical creature) deserves.

Wu Wang knew how rare and precious it was that the other party could uphold such absolute and pure justice.

And I want to be like him, thoroughly carrying out a certain belief...

Um... is this considered courting death?
If that doesn't count, Wu Wang really couldn't find any conviction within himself.

The idea of ​​protecting the second and eldest sisters is clearly not enough.

Because there are too many people in this world who have something they want to protect.

Wu Wang had no doubt whatsoever—

You could probably find a lot of people in the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs alone who would risk their lives to protect something.

If awakening talent were really that simple.

The Azure Dragon wouldn't have gone so long without a successor.

Moreover, he was under the influence of "immortality" for many years.

Most of the emotions have been erased.

It's difficult enough to experience extreme joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, grief, fear, and shock, let alone, on top of that, to choose a certain direction and form a belief based on those laws.

Oh no, this is truly a case of dying before even getting started.

It seems like I can't awaken my talent!

Looking at Wu Wang's somewhat helpless expression.

Qinglong said, "There is another way to increase your ability to perceive the laws, and it also matches what you want to do."

"Could you please finish your sentence at once?" Wu Wang sighed. "It's hard to keep up if you always speak in half-sentences."

Qinglong ignored his complaints.

He simply smiled and replied, "Young people shouldn't be so impatient. Solving problems isn't something that can be done overnight. Sometimes, calming down can bring more benefits."

"The last method I'm referring to is to experience dungeons, and they must be dungeons related to the laws of those Venerable Ones, since such worlds are naturally filled with more of their corresponding laws."

"Although this will also increase the likelihood that you will be targeted by them."

"But everyone should understand the principle that fortune and wealth are found in danger."

"Besides, you also have reasons why you have to go."

"Of course, before that, you have to find out which law she prefers and which Venerable One is most compatible with it."

After saying that, Qinglong's gaze shifted slightly to the low-end replica of the Avalon sword sheath at Wu Wang's waist.

The sword in this [Common] grade scabbard is [Xiaochuan].

His meaning was quite clear.

To find a way to revive Wu Qing, we must start with the laws related to her talent.

Fortunately, due to a minor accident earlier...

The strange "Divine Feast" on Wu Wang's back made him realize that his eldest sister was currently most deeply entangled with "Supreme Bliss".

Her talent must have come from this.

Huh? Wait a minute!
Regarding the question of feeling one's own laws.

Suddenly, a peculiar idea popped into Wu Wang's mind.

He may be about to embark on a path that even Qinglong had never imagined...
