Chat group: People are in the sandbox, the system just ran away

………………

After Scathach dragged Cu Chulainn into the martial arts hall, she felt the auxiliary system of the martial arts hall and felt it was very wonderful. She quickly selected specific settings.

"Teacher, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me this time!"

Seeing that there was no one else around, Cu Chulainn no longer cared about his face and started begging for mercy.

"Haha, I'm just an old woman with purple hair, not your teacher. Try your best to survive in this month! As long as you don't die more than a hundred times, I will forgive you this time."

After designing the martial arts hall into a place of endless bloody battles and endless deaths for a month, Scathach felt that she could teach this rude student a lesson and let him know what it meant to cause trouble with the mouth.

"No!"

Cu Chulainn’s eyes went dark. The teacher was going to kill him!

In response to Cu Chulainn's wailing, Scathach threw him out with a cold expression.

"let's start!"

Although Cu Chulainn begged for mercy before the battle, he immediately entered into combat mode when the battle really started. However, this was meaningless. Everything he learned in his life was basically taught by his teacher Scathach. No matter how he struggled, he would only be beaten.

In just three hours, Cu Chulainn was struck to the bone by Scathach's magic spear, and then, with the power of the Martial Arts Hall, he was quickly resurrected in a victorious state.

"No way! Teacher, you are so cruel. You don't hesitate at all."

"Why hesitate? You won't really die anyway. Besides, even if you die, you will just return to Valhalla."

"Teacher, since you are so heartless, don't blame me. The resurrection here can restore even the mental state to the state of full victory. Teacher, you must hold on, otherwise I might kill you once or twice!"

Scathach had said so much, and Cu Chulainn also let go. The resurrection function of this martial arts hall was so powerful that maybe he could win once or twice.

"Haha, it seems that you are very confident, Cuchulainn. Then continue to fight."

Scathach was not surprised to obtain this information. After all, the power of a great being like Li Xuan was beyond her imagination. However, she had to save some energy, otherwise if she made a mistake while teaching her apprentice, she would be laughed at.

In this constant fighting, time quickly became blurred. Cu Chulainn no longer knew how many times he had died. At the beginning, he would still consider it, but later he didn't count at all. He only knew that the time between Scathach's attempts to kill him was getting longer and longer. It was obvious that the time for him to turn the tables was not far away.

But unfortunately, the one-month period in the martial arts hall was up, and Scathach and Cu Chulainn returned to their original place.

"Damn it, it was just that close."

Cu Chulainn was filled with regret, as he finally had the chance to defeat Scathach with his own strength. Although he had some help from the resurrection of the Martial Arts Hall, the feeling of this fierce fight was simply amazing.

"Well, Cuchulainn, what did you say?"

"Hehe, no, nothing. Teacher, do you want to continue?"

Cu Chulainn looked at Scathach who had regained her victory, laughed, and then continued to ask Scathach if she wanted to continue. If she had another month, he was confident that he could turn the tables this time.

"No need. I found that there are many different kinds of opponents from different universes here. Fighting with you is too familiar and boring. These powerful people from other universes are more interesting."

Although she knew Cu Chulainn's little thoughts, Scathach did not point it out. However, she was not interested in continuing to fight with Cu Chulainn. She just discovered that this martial arts hall could also evolve various powerful people from other worlds that Li Xuan encountered.

For example, the Eight Kings of the Gourmet World that she had heard of before, the Rock God Morax and Thor Lei Diang in the original God, and Lai Aotian from the Re:Zero world, etc. are all excellent opponents. Even the Bao Shi Weng and others in this universe can be simulated. She doesn't need to know how a strong man like Li Xuan simulated them. She just needs to kill them to her heart's content.

The same was true for Cu Chulainn. After learning about this function, he put aside his dissatisfaction and began to look for suitable opponents. He was also very curious about the powerful people in these alien universes.

Scathach and Cu Chulainn weren't the only ones there; most of the other beings had also entered the performance hall. Some were battle-crazed like Scathach and Cu Chulainn, while others were simply there to gather intelligence about the alternate universe. As a result, the number of people enjoying the feast dwindled considerably. The vast majority of the guests had gone inside, leaving only the food-loving Heroic Spirits like Artoria, Jeanne, and Nero. Although most of them had Saber-like features, the comparison was rather strange.

Chapter 375 Meeting with Scathach

After a period of intense fighting, Scathach began challenging beings whose power surpassed her by four figures, as measured by the standard combat power of the Martial Arts Hall. Of course, she was always defeated miserably. The huge gap in power could not be made up by simple skill, unless Scathach could use her skills to achieve the Tao and invoke the power of the laws. However, it was clear that her skills were not enough, and the world did not support such an approach. In the dimensional world, the power that could invoke laws and principles was the power of the mind, which was more idealistic.

After being severely beaten, Scathach gave up. She had originally wanted to try to fight with higher-level beings, but she couldn't even defeat the four-digit realm of gods and Buddhas, let alone the three-digit omnipotent realm and the two-digit universal truth.

However, out of curiosity, she looked at the two-digit strong men. Most of the challengeable people had incomplete words marked behind them. This was normal. It was impossible for Li Xuan to simulate the same two-digit cosmic truth completely. The fact that he could create a clone with 60% to 70% of the strength was already the reason why Li Xuan's Taiyi Dao was very powerful.

Apart from the dozen or so incomplete challengeable targets, the only one who could challenge the Universal Truth in its prime was Li Xuan. Scathach knew that the powerful being who held the conference was Li Xuan, which meant that this being, who was equivalent to the source, was a two-digit Universal Truth-level powerhouse. What about the single digit? Scathach was very curious. If there were two, there would be one, so the single digit should exist, right?

So the curious Scathach clicked on Li Xuan's challenge option, ready to experience the power of double digits.

Li Xuan was also stunned. He didn't expect that there really was a young man who dared to challenge him. Originally, he just filled in this option to see if there was a fool who dared to challenge him, but he didn't expect that there really was one.

Li Xuan looked up and saw that it was Scathach. He was stunned. No way, although Scathach had some self-destructive tendencies, it was not serious. She would not do such a meaningless act of seeking death. Was it just out of curiosity?

"Scathach, what do you want from me?"

Scathach was also stunned when she saw Li Xuan speak. She had never expected to meet the organizer of this conference under such circumstances. She had originally thought that he was just a puppet who only knew how to fight.

When Li Xuan knew about Scathach's idea, he would only complain. If it was just a four-digit or three-digit number, it would be fine. Simulating their existence would be a drop in the bucket for Li Xuan, and he would not need to take it seriously. However, for a two-digit existence, if Li Xuan wanted to simulate it, he would definitely have to put in some effort.

"I just want to feel the power of double digits."

"Although I'm very sorry, I can't agree to your request."

"why?"

"Because you simply cannot feel my power, you will destroy yourself, or even be assimilated by my Tao and principles. Even after resurrection, it is very likely that you will not be able to completely eliminate it."

Li Xuan was not lying to Scathach. For Scathach, who only had five-digit numbers, it was normal for her to face the two-digit cosmic truth and her true form after the suppression was released, and to be directly transformed into Taoism and infected by the Taiyi Dao.

"It's like the root of your world. Don't underestimate gods and so-called magicians. They can draw support from the root, but in reality, what they can see is only a tiny fraction of it. Even so, many human magi are assimilated the moment they see even a tiny portion of it. If you see my true form in its entirety, the result will be the same as seeing the entire root. You'll most likely be assimilated, and even after resurrection, you'll likely continue to be affected. This is extremely dangerous."

"Is that so?"

After Li Xuan said this, Scathach understood the danger.

"But this isn't without benefits, isn't it? Just like how magi who see the source can gain various powers and become magicians, seeing your true form should also have some benefits!"

"Of course. My origin is Taiyi, just like your origins, all-encompassing and all-inclusive. If anyone sees my true form, anyone who persists will see their learning endlessly advance until they reach double digits."

This is the truth. For Li Xuan, after being accepted into the Dao of Taiyi, one is ten thousand, and ten thousand is one. Any Dao and principle have equally reached the level of universal truth. With the same two-digit number, Li Xuan can be the two-digit God of Water, God of Fire, God of the Sun, God of Time and Space...

Even in the double-digit realm, Li Xuan is still invincible at the same level...

"So there are so many benefits, what are the disadvantages? What specific impact do you mean?"

"It's simple. Every life in the world craves evolution and perfection. Although I haven't reached that level myself, and I don't want to achieve so-called perfection, after all, perfection means there's no room for improvement. But for beings below me, my existence is undoubtedly the embodiment of perfection. No one can resist this desire that comes from the essence of life."

"Is it that simple?"

Scathach had assumed Li Xuan's words were serious, but it turned out to be just this. For a world like the Type-Moon Universe, inherently fraught with madness and darkness, the price Li Xuan mentioned was a bargain if it meant gaining powerful power. There were plenty of magicians and gods willing to covet this power.

"I don't care whether they care about the cost or not, but as the host of the conference, I reject this kind of behavior that damages my reputation."

Li Xuan saw Scathach's intention and couldn't help but persuade her.

"What if I insist? After all, as a guest, I'm only using the functions of the Enwu Hall 3.1. There's nothing wrong with that."

Scathach's move of using his own spear to attack his own shield made Li Xuan feel helpless.

"If you insist, then there's nothing I can do."

Seeing Li Xuan compromise, Scathach was somewhat happy. The existence of the powerful being from another world had dispelled her tendency towards self-destruction, and instead rekindled her thirst for power. Therefore, Scathach, who would never have made this choice, changed her mind.

"Then let's begin! Let me witness the power of a truly great being!"

"Then it's as you wish."

In the martial arts hall, Li Xuan released the control he had always maintained over the release of his power. Since achieving legend and becoming the double-digit truth of the universe, he revealed his Taiyi true form for the first time.

Chapter 376 Scathach's Decision

"It seems that I am too confident!"

Cu Chulainn was speechless. What was wrong with this old woman? She stayed there for a long time after coming out of the martial arts hall. She must have challenged those powerful beings without knowing her own limitations, and was so hit that she began to doubt her life. Haha, it was really retribution.

As a battle maniac, he also challenged those strong ones, and was killed instantly in various ways, which made him a little unable to bear it, so he left the martial arts hall. Presumably, as the Queen of Shadow Kingdom who has been invincible for a long time, Scathach must have suffered a greater blow.

"Cú Chulainn, you might have a master in the future!"

Cu Chulainn was shocked. This was the most surprising thing he had encountered today. Even when he was caught slandering Scathach behind her back, Cu Chulainn had never been so emotional.

What's going on? This is completely confusing. This is a martial arts hall, not a dating event. Why would his teacher, Scathach, announce something like this? This is so strange. Has he gone crazy after too many challenges? This shouldn't be the case. The resurrection function in this martial arts hall is quite useful!

"Teacher, are you okay?"

Looking at Cu Chulainn who thought he was crazy, Scathach was not angry. She was not interested in teaching Cu Chulainn any more.

"I challenged the double-digit God of Universal Truth, Taiyi, in the martial arts hall."

"God of Taiyi? Isn't that the organizer of this event? So that's how it is."

Cu Chulainn finally understood what Scathach had said before, and why she had said she would find him a master. After all, as Scathach's best student, he knew Scathach's principles for choosing a partner: first, he had to be stronger than her, and second, he had to be able to kill her. Scathach, who had some self-destructive tendencies, wanted a man who could meet these two requirements.

It was obvious that Li Xuan was stronger than Scathach, much stronger. As for death, Scathach had clearly experienced it numerous times in the martial arts hall. After all, even when Scathach challenged other clones, they were ultimately slain by Li Xuan's power. This meant that Li Xuan was fully capable of satisfying Scathach's mate selection. Of course, there was another point that Cú Chulainn didn't know: Scathach's death upon seeing Li Xuan's Taiyi true form had sparked a desire for Li Xuan himself. Although it wasn't particularly intense, Scathach had no intention of suppressing it.

For Celtic warriors who do not shy away from desires and emotions, suppressing their desires and emotions is a sign of cowardice and escapism.

"Then your chances are quite good, teacher. Although the organizer this time is a powerful being on par with the Origin, he is not as emotionless as his own mythology. Instead, he is more like Zeus in Greek mythology, with deep humanity. With your beauty, there will definitely be no problem."

"That's natural."

Although Scathach is a powerful warrior who has experienced many battles, she is also a woman after all. Loving beauty is her nature. Naturally, Scathach is very confident about her appearance.

"Okay, let's go. The time for the conference to officially begin is almost here."

Scathach took Cu Chulainn out of the performance hall and returned to the main venue of the meeting. At the same time, everyone else also began to leave the performance hall.

Those who wanted to challenge the powerful naturally had a blast in the martial arts hall. Those who wanted to gather intelligence from other universes also collected a wealth of data on power systems, which would provide them with food for their own advancement. Some people, on the other hand, challenged their own world's mortal enemies and gathered intelligence on them. For example, Bao Shi Weng faced his nemesis Zhu Yue, and the All-God Zeus faced the Wandering Star Vanguard. They discovered that the martial arts hall was a real asset. Not only could they gain intelligence about their enemies, such as their every move, but they could also learn their habits and reactions. Through endless simulated battles, they could improve their odds against their enemies. Bao Shi Weng, for example, felt that if he met Zhu Yue again, he would easily defeat him. After all, he now knew all of Zhu Yue's information and could not escape his eyes. How could Zhu Yue defeat him then?

Bao Shi Weng Ji Xiu Yazel Rich Xiu Baiyin Ogu felt that he had come to the right place. This conference alone was worth his trip. After all, his mortal enemy Zhu Yue would not be a problem for him.

But it's time to go out now, otherwise it would be too rude.

"So many people!"

After arriving at the venue, Cu Chulainn discovered the large number of people attending the conference. The vast majority were heroic spirits, and a small number of gods were members of Alaya and Gaia. A few were idle people who were not in the mainstream forces, such as magicians and the king of the strange belt.

It is obvious that this conference really caught all the powerful humans in the Type-Moon universe.

"quiet!"

A faint voice continued to spread, and at the same time, the originally slightly noisy venue became quiet in an instant.

Li Xuan's figure suddenly appeared in everyone's sight. No matter where they were in the venue, they could easily see Li Xuan, because he was completely in the center of the main venue. This was not the center in terms of spatial position, but the center in fact and concept, so everyone present could easily see him. Although this was just a small conceptual application, it also required a three-digit level to be able to use it easily.

"Hello everyone, I am the organizer of this conference, Taiyi God Li Xuan. I am very happy that you have accepted my invitation to come to Chaldea to participate in this meeting."

Li Xuan still followed common sense and first gave a bunch of welcome speeches to express his welcome to the guests.

"The main purpose of this meeting is only one, and that is my decision to break the pan-human history jointly designated by the two major restraining forces, Alaya and Gaia. I firmly disagree with this serious infringement of human freedom, so I will break the so-called pan-human history and return freedom to humans themselves. There will no longer be any so-called lossbelts. Every world will develop and grow according to its own wishes. The fate and future of human civilization will be determined by humans themselves, rather than chosen and judged by the so-called restraining forces. This is what I will do."

Chapter 377: Emiya Kiritsugu Stands Up

"But what if the world faces a crisis that could lead to the extinction of humanity? Who would be able to save it then?"

Li Xuan turned around and saw that it was Kiritsugu. No wonder he was so brave. Normally, after he finished speaking, it was time for others to put forward their opinions. However, due to his powerful strength, although everyone in the main venue was thinking about the possible consequences of Li Xuan's action, no one dared to be the first to stand up and speak.

But now, Kiritsugu, who is determined to save the world, has stood up. He is a guy who will do anything to save the world and is not afraid of sacrifice. He will not rely on Li Xuan's power to raise his own questions.

"At that time, the humans of that world would naturally save themselves, without the need for anyone else's intervention. Just like the seven Lostbelts, they each had their own difficulties, and they overcame them. But because you overcame your own difficulties, you were judged by your boss, Alaya, and faced extinction. That's truly unfortunate. Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu, the scavenger of Alaya."

After Li Xuan revealed his identity, Emiya Kiritsugu was not surprised. He did not think that his identity could be hidden from a powerful being like Li Xuan.

"But Lord Alaya's actions were not wrong. This was also to ensure the safety of the vast majority of parallel worlds, even if some sacrifices were unavoidable."

As soon as Kiritsugu Emiya said this, he immediately attracted the angry glares of the kings of the Lostbelt. You have to know that the sacrifices that Kiritsugu Emiya mentioned so lightly were all his own worlds.

Kiritsugu Emiya was not afraid of these angry Lostbelt Kings. In his opinion, these Lostbelt Kings should not have existed in the first place, and Alaya's choice was just a necessary evil.

Hearing Kiritsugu Emiya's words and seeing how brave he was, actually daring to challenge the King of the Lostbelt who was countless times more powerful than him, Li Xuan couldn't help but be shocked by his suicidal spirit.

"As expected of you, the ultimate solver of the trolley problem, Emiya Kiritsugu. When making choices, you always choose to side with the majority, sacrificing the interests of the minority. So, when faced with parallel worlds, you will only choose the safety of the majority."

"Is there anything wrong with this? This is a necessary sacrifice. The existence of pan-human history can ensure the stable existence of the vast majority of parallel worlds, so its existence is necessary."

Kiritsugu Emiya's will is very firm. Because of Li Xuan's intervention, he has nothing to do with Irisviel and Illya, and he is still the cold-blooded scavenger. Although he has his own adopted son, Shirou Emiya, he is just the successor to his will.

"I won't discuss whether humanity and the world are truly that fragile, requiring two major restraining forces and your salvation to continue. I'll just ask a question. Emiya Kiritsugu, you said that the existence of pan-human history can guarantee the stable existence of most parallel worlds. What about the future? As the scavenger of Alaya, you should be able to travel to different parallel worlds. So tell me, among the so-called parallel worlds, is there a parallel world of human civilization that leads to the distant future? Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu, can you answer this question for me?"

Faced with Li Xuan's questioning, Emiya Kiritsugu was speechless. He recalled his past memories, eliminating dangerous existences that would endanger humans and the world in different parallel worlds, and found that he was indeed unable to see the parallel world in the same distant future. At most, he could only see the human world a few decades later.

"You're speechless, right? You can't find the parallel world that truly leads to humanity's future. Do you know why? Emiya Kiritsugu, the reason is very simple, really very simple! That is, under pan-human history, under the two major inhibitory forces, humanity has no future. In other words, the pan-human history that you claim allows human civilization to continue to survive is precisely the factor that has taken away humanity's future and is leading to its destruction!"

"That's impossible! You must be kidding me. Even if Gaia, as the planetary consciousness, can hinder human development and progress, how can Alaya, as the collective consciousness of humankind, take away humanity's future?"

Kiritsugu Emiya could not accept what Li Xuan said, because if that was really the case, then wouldn't he, who wanted to save the world, become an accomplice in destroying the world?

"The reason is simple, really simple. All living things have a survival instinct. For example, Gaia hates humans because Earth has limited resources. If humans want to develop, they will inevitably plunder the planet's vitality. If it's only a small amount, Gaia can tolerate it, but if it endangers its life, Gaia will naturally resist."

"Even so, humanity still has a chance to reach the future. After all, as long as humanity develops rapidly and opens the gateway to the starry sky before reaching Gaia's limit, then humanity will naturally no longer need to plunder Earth, its home planet. However, this also requires satisfying another restraining force: the Alaya. You must understand that Alaya, as humanity's collective consciousness, is much more fragile than Gaia. Its composition is entirely formed by humanity's collective consciousness, and it cannot tolerate the slightest change."
