I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 419 Foreshadowing the Future (23)

"Xiao Xi?"

After a day of training, Lu Huaijin walked out of the combat zone covered in mud.

Then she spotted it immediately—the little girl, Li Xi, sitting alone on the edge of the reservoir.

As Li Boyang's disciple, Lu Huaijin naturally recognized the little girl who had been adopted by Li Yu and Chen Yun.

Lu Huaijin not only recognized her, but also knew that her current appearance was merely a disguise.

Once she takes off the feathered robe that Li Boyang personally sewed, Xiao Xi will revert to her demigod form with snake hair and a snake tail.

"elder sister?"

Upon hearing Lu Huaijin's voice, Xiao Xi immediately panicked and hid her hands behind her back.

Until Lu Huaijin walked up to Xiaoxi with a wicked grin.

She then timidly lowered her head, not daring to meet the other person's gaze.

Just as Lu Huaijin knew Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi also knew Lu Huaijin.

As a student who is theoretically about to graduate, Lu Huaijin was already out and about.

Whenever there is an unexpected situation within the Hundred Mountains area, Lu Huaijin will arrive at the scene immediately to handle it.

Rumor has it that Lu Huaijin has proposed more than once to establish a special "armed emergency response department" to handle disputes between humans and gods.

Unfortunately, Lu Huaijin's suggestion was rejected by Li Jingshu more than once.

The last time, Li Jingshu even brought Li Boyang's instructions, telling her to behave herself.

The Hundred Mountains are not a "Hundred Lands Kingdom".

Li Boyang does not need a violent organization to carry out his will.

Or more precisely, in this barbaric age where everyone can possess extraordinary powers.

The differences between individuals are too great, and the role of violent institutions is not as significant as imagined.

Especially for violent institutions like the military, which are "born with the mission of practicing violence," without proper and strong ideological guidance, they often have a counterproductive effect.

After all, manufacturing a nuclear bomb requires the complete industrial chain of a powerful industrial nation.

It is possible to create a powerhouse comparable to a nuclear bomb, but all it takes is talent and hard work—and perhaps a little bit of insignificant resources and hatred.
Then think about the 21st century, about the armies that have already undergone modernization.

How many of them are able to correctly, or even simply refrain from, abusing their own force?

Not to mention in an era where the power of individuals varies so drastically.

Li Boyang had no confidence in establishing a violent organization with correct beliefs and guiding principles.

The difficulty involved is even more incredible than asking an elephant to empathize with an ant.

As for restricting the development and progress of extraordinary powers?

Leaving aside whether Li Boyang could actually do that, even if he did, he would only be courting death.

The world is constantly moving forward.

To restrict one's own development in order to achieve a moment of peace is nothing more than wishful thinking and waiting for death.

Li Boyang is just an idealist, not the kind of saint who ignores all external circumstances.

—We may not need to use force, but we must possess it.

This is a very basic principle.

Even in that ancient country that implemented gun control in my previous life.

The so-called restriction on military force is only internal; its external military strength has always been among the world's top tier.

In this real-world mythological era, a similar balance, and even healthy competition, is also a key aspect of Li Boyang's focus on thinking about and building a new order.

It does not limit the strength of individuals, and will actively create various conditions to help individuals become stronger.

Because it is the most powerful individual among them.

Li Boyang didn't even have the need to establish a violent organization to maintain his rule.

As long as the overall process continues to spiral upwards, Li Boyang will not actively interrupt it.

As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement.

If one day Li Boyang's will is no longer able to be implemented within the Hundred Mountains region.

So whether the resistance comes from internal opposition or external threats, Li Boyang will accept his defeat with equanimity.

The ways of nature are unpredictable; nothing is static. When you become an outdated relic that can't keep up with the times, why not make a clean and tidy exit?

Who were you talking to just now?

After comforting Xiaoxi for a while, Lu Huaijin finally looked at the hand that was hidden behind her back.

Or more precisely, it was looking at the teleportation talisman tightly held in the other person's hand.

"A friend..."

“I ‘saw’ that he was going to have a bloody disaster, so I warned him in advance.”

"Then he told me that his mother cut his forehead and took the blame for him."

Xiao Xi answered Lu Huaijin's questions cautiously, clearly realizing for the first time that she could use this method to avert a bloody disaster.

"That's quite a clever trick, isn't it?"

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Lu Huaijin said with a hint of surprise.

Although Xiaoxi did not say who her friend was.

But how could the cautious Lu Huaijin not know about Yinglong's existence?
However, because Xiao Xi's abilities are so special, she has very few true friends, so the people around her have tacitly accepted Ying Long's interactions with her.

"So, did he break the bloodshed you 'saw'?"

Nodding blankly, Xiao Xi obediently answered truthfully.

"I only saw blood flowing from his forehead, and the wound was similar to what was predicted..."

At this point, Xiaoxi suddenly hesitated again.

Upon seeing this, Lu Huaijin immediately understood, knowing that Xiao Xi must have something she hadn't said.

Xiao Xi's supernatural power is the "power of predestination," which allows her to truly see the past, present, and future.

Therefore, the methods used by Xuan Su to avert bloodshed might not be effective for Xiao Xi.

Putting everything else aside, the details of the scenes she saw alone contained a wealth of information that divination methods could not obtain.

Making those pieces of information perfectly match is not something that can be achieved simply by making a random cut between the eyebrows.

"What else did you see?"

After hesitatingly opening her mouth as if to speak, Xiaoxi finally expressed her judgment with some uncertainty.

"The sky, the sky has darkened."

"In what I saw, the entire sky was black, and there were wisps of eerie energy all around, yet the sun still hung in the sky..."

"His forehead was cut open and bleeding profusely, and he seemed to be crying?"

This is the most unreliable aspect of the "Destiny Compendium".

Everyone has their own expectations for the future, and they will interpret the same scene differently.

Unless the moment in the future actually arrives, no one can guarantee that their interpretation will be correct.

"The sky has completely darkened?"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Huaijin reached out and patted Xiaoxi's head, comforting her in a confident tone.

"Don't look so sad."

"Your friend has a complicated background; he will surely be able to turn danger into safety."

Lu Huaijin wasn't simply trying to comfort Xiaoxi.

Given Ying Long's status and residence, Lu Huaijin really didn't know who would dare to provoke him.

"But……"

Looking up at Lu Huaijin's smiling face, Xiao Xi was finally infected by his smile and smiled too.

"Well, I believe in my sister."

As Xiaoxi said these words, her third eye between her eyebrows slowly opened.

Countless images seemed to flash through my pupils, or perhaps countless possibilities for the future.

"He is Yinglong, he will definitely be alright."
