The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

The ancient civilization of the cultivation world was indeed something Jiang Jing casually mentioned to Xi'er, but the Xuan Tian Purification Array truly exists. It is a powerful array used by a powerful cultivation world filled with ghosts and gods to protect the city.

That world was filled with ghosts and spirits, and the wilderness, mountains, rivers, and lakes were permeated with pollution, demonic energy, and ghostly energy. Ordinary people could only live in cities and sects that possessed the Xuan Tian Purification Array.

Although the rules of the two worlds are different, Jiang Jing can use them as a shield against Honkai energy with just a little modification, so it's not exactly lying to them.

Jiang Jing's question surprised Theresa and the others.

Jiang Jing shrugged and said calmly, "I'm actually a very easy person to talk to, and I believe in fair trade."

"If you can offer something worth trading, or even less, it doesn't matter. Considering your lofty goals, I'll tell you how to set up this formation."

"But now you have nothing, and you can't offer any bargaining chips. This is no different from coming to someone's door to get something for nothing."

The seven girls were speechless after Jiang Jing's words, especially Seele, who felt her face burning with embarrassment because it was she who told Bronya all this, which led to this visit.

Although everyone's goal was noble—to save the world and prevent more ordinary people from suffering from the Collapse Disaster—it couldn't hide their desire to use righteousness to take away the invaluable array from Jiang Jing for nothing.

Seeing Theresa and the others standing there in silence and looking somewhat awkward, Kiana couldn't stand it anymore and said urgently, "But we're not doing this for ourselves either. We're all trying our best to end the Honkai and save humanity."

Looking at the seven beautiful women in front of him, Jiang Jing said calmly, "Because your purpose is indeed this, to save the world, it's very pure, which is why I met you."

"Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Jiang." Theresa gave a wry smile.

“You’re welcome. This is what you deserve, but this kind of life is too tiring.” Jiang Jing shook his head slightly.

Jiang Jing's words reminded Himeko Murata of her experiences over the years, and she smiled bitterly, "Yes, it's very tiring, but we have no choice in this era."

Seeing that Jiang Jing seemed to agree with them, Kiana asked hopefully, "Mr. Jiang, since you know that we are determined to save the world, could you teach us that formation?"

"Kiana." Mei tugged at her.

Jiang Jing glanced at her indifferently, then unexpectedly said, "Teaching you the Xuan Tian Purification Array wouldn't be a big deal."

"What"

"Really?" Theresa and the others exclaimed in surprise, looking at Jiang Jing in disbelief. They hadn't expected to obtain the formation so easily in the end.

But Jiang Jing immediately shrugged: "Because even if I taught you, you wouldn't have any."

“Wh-what…” Theresa was stunned.

Jiang Jing took a sip of wine unhurriedly and said calmly, "Ancient civilizations are millions of years apart from the present. The laws have long since changed, and the formations that were effective back then are no longer effective now."

“I’ve tried it these past few days. The runes and formations of ancient civilizations have negligible effects. All the methods I know are useless under the change of laws,” Jiang Jing said meaningfully.

"how so."

Himeko and the others, who were filled with anticipation and excitement, suddenly felt a chill run down their spines. At the same time, Otto Rita and her two companions, who were listening through special equipment on a distant airship, also sharpened their gazes.

Otto, in particular, noticed that all the methods Jiang Jing mentioned were useless, and coupled with the fact that he should have discovered the Honkai Beasts during the previous probing but retreated early, a dangerous glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Just as Theresa and the others were feeling discouraged, thinking that their trip was going to be in vain, Jiang Jing suddenly said, "Actually, these problems are not that big. As long as I analyze the laws of this era, I can make some minor modifications."

"Really?" Kiana looked at Jiang Jing with surprise, while the others stared at him in astonishment, their emotions fluctuating wildly from his actions.

“But why should I do this?” Jiang Jing’s tone suddenly turned cold.

Jiang Jing looked at Theresa and the others with an indifferent gaze: "Don't talk to me about saving the world. I'm tired of that empty phrase. Besides, what you've done won't save the world."

"I don't agree with Mr. Jiang's words. Although we are small and weak, we have been fighting hard all these years. So many of our comrades have died on the battlefield against the Honkai Beasts, all for the sake of ending the Honkai and saving humanity."

"Although I've forgotten many of their names, no one can ignore or insult their contributions." Himeko Murata's gaze sharpened as she glared at Jiang Jing.

“That’s right. Although we don’t have any purification arrays to deal with the Honkai’s erosion, we have been fighting hard all these years, searching for a way to fight against the Honkai and have never given up.” Theresa’s gaze also turned cold.

Jiang Jing's words infuriated Theresa and the others. It was tantamount to negating the countless heroes who had died in the Honkai Beasts over the past few centuries, which was unacceptable to them.

Fu Hua calmly looked at Jiang Jing: "Mr. Jiang, we respect your past contributions as a warrior protecting the world, but you have lost that heart to protect the world. You are no longer the person you used to be."

Jiang Jing looked at them indifferently and said calmly, "Protect the world? The world I was supposed to protect was destroyed back then. What am I supposed to protect now? Give me a reason."

Chapter 338 Jiang Jing: I want it! Give me the Mandate of Heaven and I'll have it.

Seeing Jiang Jing suddenly turn cold and indifferent, Kiana said unhappily, "What reason do you need to save the world! I didn't become a Valkyrie with the goal of saving the world. I just wanted to find my bastard father and protect Mei."

“I don’t want the tragedy at the orphanage to repeat itself,” Bronya said coldly.

Himeko Murata said in a deep voice, "I don't want to see any more young girls with bright futures die on the battlefield. As for anything about the world, I haven't thought about it."

Jiang Jing waved his hand: "These are not important."

He then said indifferently, "Everyone has their own beliefs when doing things. Some are selfish, some are noble, but most are driven by their environment."

Looking at Theresa and the others, Jiang Jing sneered, "I've learned a bit about this world these past few days. You say your goal is to save the world, but in my eyes, the culprit behind all this is your destiny."

“Mr. Jiang, you can refuse our request, but you can’t keep insulting us and the sacrifices of those soldiers who died on the battlefield.” Theresa’s voice was filled with suppressed anger.

Similarly, the others felt the same way; looking at Jiang Jing's cold smile, their impression of him immediately turned very negative.

"Insult, huh..."

Jiang Jing sneered: "The reason why the collapse has become more and more serious in recent years is that your Destiny has been constantly climbing the technology tree after excavating many relics of the previous civilization."

"However, these technologies, which are almost a generation ahead of the outside world, such as genetic technology, combat suit technology, artificial holy marks technology, and mecha technology, are all hidden and have not been popularized."

"As a result, the world's civilization level was raised by destiny. Under the rule that the higher the civilization, the stronger the collapse, a large-scale collapse broke out. Other countries and cities had no power to stop it, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of millions of people."

“You’re talking nonsense. Valkyries require adaptable girls, and the creation of artificial stigmata is very complex. If mecha technology were to fall into the hands of those turbulent forces, the consequences would be unimaginable…” Theresa denied in a deep voice.

But as she finished speaking, her tone unconsciously softened.

Jiang Jing said coldly, "Don't tell me you're afraid these technologies will cause social unrest if they're exported. People are dead, what unrest? If countries around the world had these technologies a few years ago, how could the population have decreased so much with large-scale assembly capabilities?"

“I have read the records of the Shenzhou Kingdom, the predecessor of this city. It shows that ten years ago the world population was more than 3 billion, but now? There are only more than 400 million left.”

"Over the course of ten years, several large-scale Honkai outbreaks have resulted in the deaths of nearly three billion people, and these Honkai outbreaks are all related to several experiments conducted by Schicksal."

Jiang Jing paused here, then looked at Theresa and the others with a cold smile: "Of the three billion people, half died in these years of social upheaval and the Honkai Beasts, and the other half starved to death due to a large-scale reduction in production. Among them are a large number of orphans without parents, whose corpses, if piled up together, could fill the bay outside."

"Hmph... Is this what the Destiny, whose goal is to save the world, should do? It has occupied multiple ruins of previous civilizations, but instead of using them to develop humanity itself, it shouts slogans about saving the world while acting as an executioner."

While Mei and Kiana turned pale and couldn't believe what Jiang Jing said, Theresa clenched her hands, stared intently at Jiang Jing, and squeezed out her voice through clenched teeth.

"What evidence do you have to prove these things?"

Jiang Jing took a sip of soup unhurriedly and said calmly, "Evidence: Although my strength is now only 'a little' left, I still possess a pair of divine eyes that can see through everything. These are, of course, what I have seen in the past few days."

In this sentence, Jiang Jing specifically hinted that he only had a little strength left.

Faced with Himeko and Fu Hua's frosty expressions, Jiang Jing continued, "Compared to your Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, which was separated from Schicksal, has done better than you in many aspects. At least they are truly working hard to end the Honkai."

"And your bishop, his goal has never been to end the Honkai and save humanity. Do you agree with me, Mr. Otto, the bishop of Destiny?" Jiang Jing looked coldly at the sky outside the building.

*Smack! Smack!*

With a clap of his hands, Otto and Rita Durandal appeared at the edge of the rooftop, and on the distant skyscrapers behind them, squads of Valkyries also appeared.

At the same time, two more warships appeared high in the sky: the Hyperion and the spaceship of the Destiny Headquarters.

However, their wary target was not Jiang Jing, but a fleet of huge mechs that appeared on the other side in the distance, with two airships silently hovering in the sky as well.

At this moment, Durandal, standing behind Otto, looked at Jiang Jing with suspicion and uncertainty in his eyes, then turned to look at Otto, clearly having also heard what Jiang Jing had just said.

However, Rita's gaze remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about the truth, though her slightly trembling hand on her abdomen betrayed her.

“Mr. Jiang, as a powerful figure from millions of years ago, don’t you think it’s beneath your dignity to slander me like this?” Otto looked at Jiang Jing with a calm demeanor and a faint smile, as if Jiang Jing’s words were all lies.

“No, I don’t think he’s slandering you. Otto, do you dare admit that the several Honkai attacks over the years weren’t caused by your experiments? And that the Second Herrscher’s affair back then had nothing to do with you?” Inside the giant mecha flying in the air, the red-haired girl named Truss sneered.

“Indeed, based on my investigations over the years, there’s a hint of destiny behind all these things,” Cocolia said coldly, standing atop a building.

This time it wasn't just destiny; after obtaining Jiang Jing's information from the Gray Serpent, Anti-Entropy also reacted quickly, wanting to contact Jiang Jing, but both sides arrived at the same time, which was quite 'coincidental'.

After Otto appeared, Theresa and the others all looked at him, wanting to see how he would explain Jiang Jing's words.

Otto ignored them, his smile unchanged, his eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint as he looked at the mechs opposite him and said calmly, "Traitors of Anti-Entropy, how dare you appear before me."

"It seems I haven't had time to deal with you, which has made you think you have the strength to challenge me. Today I have to wake you up."

"Oh, really? Then let me see how you, this hypocrite, will bring me to my senses," the hot-tempered Tesla said disdainfully.

Ignoring the tense standoff between Otto and Tesla, Jiang Jing said with interest, "The main forces of the three major powers of this world, Destiny and Anti-Entropy, have all arrived. Judging from your expressions, it doesn't seem like you're here just to have tea with me."

"What, you want to fight me head-on?" Jiang Jing looked at Otto with amusement, his indifferent gaze causing Otto to subconsciously narrow his eyes.

“Mr. Jiang, you’re too kind. We sensed that Anti-Entropy was trying to harm you, so we came to stop them,” Rita, standing behind Otto, explained with a slight smile.

"Bullshit, only your Destiny would do something like that," Tesla retorted without any politeness.

Amid the standoff between the two sides, Jiang Jing, the only one sitting in a chair, remained unconcerned about his situation and said calmly, "I am not interested in your objectives, but I have always believed in fair trade."

"As long as you can offer something that interests me, apart from the Xuan Tian Purification Array, other things like the Seven Star Soul Summoning Array that gathers souls and brings people back to life, or the Mech Puppet Technique that can create war puppets that can destroy planets, are not a problem."

"Or there are cultivation techniques that can eliminate the problem of your Valkyries' corruption and erosion, enhance your strength, refine Herrscher Gems, and master the secret methods of Herrscher power."

Everyone's expression changed instantly, especially Otto, whose breathing quickened upon hearing about the Seven Star Summoning Array that could gather souls and bring the dead back to life.

Meanwhile, Himeko Murata and Durandal focused their attention on the cultivation techniques that followed, because if what Jiang Jing said was true, then for them, the Valkyries, that technique would be equivalent to saving their lives.

Tesla and Cocolia were the same; one focused on the war puppets that could destroy planets, and the other on the secret technique that could refine and control the Herrscher gems.

For a moment, the whole scene fell silent. Everyone stared at the young man sitting at the table, slowly eating his dinner, each of them lost in their own thoughts.

After an unknown amount of time, Otto took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Jing, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Jiang, can the Seven Star Soul Summoning Array you mentioned revive people who have been dead for hundreds of years?"

Jiang Jing smiled faintly: "Of course, let alone hundreds of years, as long as the materials for setting up the formation are prepared and the timing is right, even people who died a thousand years ago can be resurrected by distorting space and time."

"Our era spanned multiple galaxies and hundreds of civilized planets. Our research into the ultimate principles of the universe had already reached the level of the soul, life, creation, and other supreme rules, transcending life and death."

As Jiang Jing spoke, he sighed, "But the resulting collapse was terrifying. Every extraterrestrial demon that appeared was incredibly powerful. In the final battle, we even fought our way into the depths of the universe, causing a spacetime fracture."

Otto calmly replied, "But didn't you say that the laws have changed now, so even if we have those techniques or formations, we can't use them?"

Jiang Jing smiled slightly: "Since it's a transaction, I will naturally comply with the changes to the laws of this era so that you can use them. Don't worry about that."

After asking these questions, Otto fell silent again, seemingly deep in thought. The appearance of the Seven Star Soul Summoning Array had made him lose interest in what Jiang Jing had said earlier.

After Otto appeared, Theresa seemed to tacitly accept that he was in charge, and for a moment she just watched without saying a word.

The silence continued until Jiang Jing finished his dinner and asked the waiter to clean up and leave. Only then did Otto look at Jiang Jing and ask, "I wonder what we would need to offer if we wanted to trade the Seven Star Soul Summoning Array and the Mysterious Heaven Purification Array?"

Looking at Otto, Jiang Jing chuckled and said, "Normally, nothing in this world can compare to the true value of these things. However, since you are so sincere in wanting to make a deal, I can't be unreasonable."

"My request is simple: give me all of the departments of the Heavenly Mandate except for the research department, including the weapons and equipment manufacturing department, the intelligence department, and the logistics department."

Otto's expression changed instantly, becoming extremely ugly, because Jiang Jing had essentially taken away most of his power.
