Chapter 1170 The Return of the God of War and Suggestions for Win-Win Cooperation

The fifth Martial God, Xiangshan, who was active on Mars about 130 years ago, was a lone ranger on the surface, but in fact he connected with potential chivalrous elements in the Scientific Research Knights and tried to establish a complete anti-Shelter organization.

Before and after the encirclement and suppression campaign against the Sixth Martial God, the government announced that the Fifth Martial God had been killed.

Later generations of knights would occasionally use the case of the Fifth Martial God to educate their juniors, telling them that fighting alone is not a good idea.

"Now I know why I failed back then..." Xiangshan, who regained his freedom in the Solitary Prison Knights, was heartbroken, "It turns out that this ecological niche is already full."

"Ecological niche" is a multidimensional concept that includes spatial dimensions, temporal dimensions, species' use of resources, environmental adaptation, and biological relationships. It refers to the "functional position" that a species occupies in an ecosystem. It's like a company that only needs one "human resources director" at the same time. When two managers want this position, "competition" will arise.

In 1934, former Red League ecologist Georgy Frantsevich Gauss completed the famous experiment. Gauss selected two ciliates with highly similar morphology and feeding habits - Paramecium macrocarpa and Paramecium dimicrocarpa - for mixed culture. In the early stage, the two coexisted, but Paramecium dimicrocarpa gradually gained the upper hand with a reproduction efficiency 1.5 times higher than that of its competitors. After about 20 days, Paramecium macrocarpa was completely eliminated, and only Paramecium dimicrocarpapa remained in the culture medium.

This is the famous "Gauss experiment".

If two species compete for limited resources, the species that utilizes the resources more advantageously will exclude the other; when resources are limited, no two species can coexist in the same ecological niche.

One hundred and thirty years ago, the Fifth Martial God unknowingly played the role of "Giant Paramecium".

In the small incubator of the "Scientific Research Knights", two characters who think they are Xiangshan are competing.

Then, unfortunately, the Fifth Martial God is still exploring an organizational structure that does not violate the spirit of chivalry and adapts to the new era, while the "Broker" has no such concerns.

To the "broker", the so-called "organization" is just a temporary carrier before "metamorphosis and ascension", just like a larva to a butterfly or a corpse to a ghost, completely unimportant. He has no ideal of establishing a new system, nor does he care whether the temporary organizational structure is in line with morality.

Unfortunately, Xiangshan does have mature experience in "establishing a secret organization."

The "broker" was even able to absorb the lesson from the original Xiangshan.

Both the Broker and the Fifth Martial God completed their transformation after the Fourth Martial God. The Broker might even have completed it earlier.

It would be difficult for the scientific research knights who had been won over by the "brokers" to become comrades of the Fifth Martial God.

Although the Fifth Martial God had vaguely heard of the existence of the Philosophers' Society, he thought it was an organization of like-minded people.

Judging from the results, due to the existence of the C-Si-Fe Philosophers' Council, the efforts of the Fifth Martial God are unlikely to achieve any real results.

The momentum of the Six Dragon Sect today is enough to prove that the Fifth Martial God’s thinking is generally correct.

I just didn't expect that there would be a "wrong" Xiangshan.

“Oh, great heaven, how can you be so unkind to me?” After the twelfth Martial God liberated the Earth, Xiangshan, who didn’t know whether he was still considered the fifth Martial God, sighed.

As for the ending of the fifth Martial God, there is actually not much to say.

"I ran into the encirclement of that old dog Hartmann, consumed too much of my ammunition reserves, and my prosthetics accumulated waste heat. Then I couldn't escape the pursuit and interception of Juan Repin, Gerapetritis, and Yuan Yongzhen. I was defeated."

Juan Repin, former King of Venus and King of Romance, was killed by the 12th Martial God more than a month ago.

Gerapetritis, former King of Mars and Warlord, was killed in a surprise attack by the Ninth Warlord seventy years ago.

Yuan Yongzhen, the Brave King, is the manager of many affairs within the atmosphere of Jupiter.

None of these three are weaklings. Juan Leibin may be regarded as "mediocre" and "ineffective" among the top warriors, but at the same time he is a warrior with no obvious weaknesses. It is difficult to break through head-on unless there are special circumstances. Yuan Yongzhen is best at air combat and is said to hold the record for the longest flight time in the atmospheric environment of the entire solar system.

Jerapetritis was also a master among the kings, and his external skills were only inferior to those of the Speed ​​King. In the era of the Seventh Martial God, the War God King once led his fleet to fight the Seventh Martial God head-on. The Seventh Martial God destroyed half of his fleet, but the War God King was able to hold back the Seventh Martial God's mobile formation with his single-machine combat power after the battle line collapsed.

The Fifth Martial God could defeat the Brave King and the Romance King in a one-on-one fight, but it was difficult for him to win quickly. He even ran the risk of losing in a one-on-one fight with the God of War. With these three people attacking together, the Fifth Martial God, who had been exhausted by Hartman, naturally had no reason to turn defeat into victory.

The Fifth Martial God was even more miserable than the government propaganda. He fell into a coma after his prosthetic body was damaged, and when he woke up, his entire biological brain had been stripped out of the prosthetic body, and he had lost all perception.

At the beginning, the God of War King would interrogate on behalf of the Father of All Things. But the protectors also knew that Xiangshan would not surrender so easily.

"So, they used me as research material to test the reactions of individuals like 'Xiangshan' in specific situations, as well as the tolerance of individuals like this in various extreme conditions." This is how Xiangshan summarized to the Soul-Calming Dharma King after escaping from the predicament.

"At the beginning, we just used drugs like truth serum to make the Fifth Martial God reveal more information, or set up virtual reality after taking some of his memories offline to observe how the Fifth Martial God reacts to various situations. But as you must know, this kind of thing has limited effect on a warrior with great inner strength."

“Then there are surgeries to denervate the nerve circuits and drugs that destroy specific receptors.”

"Oh... this... God..." The Soul-Calming Dharma King was at a loss, "Oh my God, it's a pity you were able to hold on..."

"No, the Fifth Martial God didn't actually hold on. At the beginning, he relied on his internal strength and the compensatory mechanism of his brain to hold on for ten years. His martial arts were declining, his strength was disappearing, and his brain functions were gradually decreasing. This feeling itself was also eroding the Fifth Martial God's willpower. But in the second ten years, he couldn't hold on any longer and completely collapsed."

"Well, maybe the Fifth Martial God also felt that all the information in his brain had lost its value, so there was no need to persist. In the second decade, the Fifth Martial God begged the controller outside more than once to give him a quick death. But Yawgmoth had lost interest in the Fifth Martial God. Perhaps he had disenchanted himself with the 'Martial God' at this time." Xiangshan nodded his head and continued, "The God of War King has lost interest in this biological brain. So there are only scientific research knights here who come to do research projects, and they are very inhumane. You know how the 'Lonely Prison' of the 'Knights of the Solitary Prison' came about? A cage with only me as a prisoner, the Knights of the Solitary Prison."

When Xiangshan told this story, his tone seemed not to be about his own affairs. The Soul-Calming Dharma King did not know what kind of mental state or mental illness this was, and could only guess that it was "the self-protection mechanism of the human brain."

"The third and fourth decades are actually the same. During that time, the biological brain can be said to have no room for self-awareness to operate. The implant took over some of the higher functions and suppressed self-awareness. During that time, I also had to read the papers of the Knights of the Solitary Prison to determine what they did."

Although the Lone Prison Knights could not be infiltrated, the quality of their research was not low, and the Six Dragons Cult leader said it was of reference value. It was precisely because of the leader's attention that the Six Dragons Cult wanted to "infiltrate".

The Soul-Calming Master quickly remembered the research direction of the Solitary Prison Knights more than ninety years ago.

"Yes... a talent for martial arts..."

"Ah, yes, yes, I remember now." Xiangshan nodded, "This biological brain is almost useless, and then someone thought that the guy who could become a martial god must have a special biological brain, so he must have talent. Without the interference of the 'self', they wanted to see what the working mechanism of the 'talent' is. They controlled the brain through implants and retrained it... but there was no result."

The Soul-Calming Dharma King looked at Xiangshan hesitantly: "So you are now..."

"When they all lost interest and got promoted, I was left to manage this biological brain sitting on the bench. The researcher gave this biological brain an old AI, an ancient psychotherapy assistant. It was a small project during the Superman Enterprise period. It was an early work that Florence and I used to run in the team."

The Soul-Calming Dharma King exclaimed: "It's actually the current King of Venus..."

Xiangshan slightly turned his gaze away, as if unwilling to look directly at the words from the Soul-Calming Dharma King's mouth: "Yeah, yeah, that's right."

Because of Yawgmoth's reckless behavior - injecting himself with an immune system-destroying virus and advancing to the final stage of the disease in one go, and then starting the first human experiment - he put himself in a deadly situation. Under pressure from the situation, Xiangshan gave up the ongoing negotiation process and directly spent the maximum amount of money to recruit people to form a team.

After the incident with Yawgmoth, this newly formed team also needs to be incorporated into the research system of Superman Enterprises itself.

The team-building activity proposed by Xiangshan is “doing a small project together”.

Superman Enterprise has special funds for newly employed scholars to carry out simple projects that "do not need to consider economic benefits". The role of these projects is not to "produce results" but to "build a team" and "expand the field".

The requirements for these small projects include "must be something you are interested in" and "must be cross-disciplinary research based on your major."

Human prosthetics involves many sub-fields and requires the collaboration of a large number of researchers from different fields. It is a "myth" to be accomplished by one company alone.

And this small "team building" is part of creating the myth.

At that time, Florence, a nursing expert who was not yet the King of Venus, gave her areas of interest: nursing care and emotional support involving artificial intelligence.

Xiangshan personally described to her "what AI can do" and "what AI cannot do", and brought her into contact with the engineers of Superman Enterprise, which is the team led by him and David personally.

"We want to help patients in trouble and relieve the workload of medical staff - a very general goal. Later, according to my suggestion, it was broken down into several modules and gradually advanced." Xiangshan said, "In fact, in the old days, people who needed it would not use this thing. But I didn't expect that this thing would be the best medical AI a hundred years ago. In the past one or two hundred years, human beings' exploration of the mind has completely embarked on the path of weaponization, and no one cares about health. Florence's practice works are actually the best."

Xiangshan shook his head, as if regretting something.

Florence's AI is designed to assist humans in obtaining safe, warm, comprehensive and high-quality nursing services. The purpose of medicine is to accurately determine the source and cause of the disease, and then retrieve efficient diagnosis and treatment methods, while the function of nursing is to maintain health from different dimensions, promote the implementation of treatment plans, and provide psychological support to patients, which is quite important.

Under Xiangshan's suggestion, the initial implementation direction was "AI participating in the care of patients who have lost their language function."

"For patients who have lost their language function, it is difficult to say that their other thinking abilities are sound. It is difficult for ordinary people to put themselves in their shoes and imagine their needs." Xiangshan explained at the time, "Nurses need a lot of training and repeated practice to do this. This is something AI can participate in."

At that time, Florence asked: "Can AI better understand the needs of these people? But I don't think AI can understand me, a completely healthy person."

"In fact, no one can understand AI." Xiangshan shook his head regretfully. "The current language model AI only infers 'this word should be followed by this word' based on logic. The operating mechanism is not very similar to the mirror neurons that humans use to understand each other. It can be said that AI understands no one. It does not understand normal people like you and me, nor does it understand those abnormal patients. But this is its advantage. AI does not need to 'understand', it only needs to infer from the data that 'after the patient gives this signal, doing this is likely to be effective'. This is exactly the same as 'drawing lessons from actual experience'. This is the strength of AI."

"Personally, I think AI should be allowed to do what it is good at, and humans should focus on areas that AI has not yet touched. It is also efficient to focus research and development on areas where AI excels. This is my personal advice."

Providing daily care for patients who have lost their language function or even have impaired thinking is Florence's "interest project".

In fact, this AI had never been put on the market in the entire old era. Although relying on the huge scale of Superman Enterprise, Florence could easily obtain countless medical data to enrich AI, there were always huge problems in putting this type of AI on the market.

Patients reject AI care and believe that AI cannot provide positive emotional support in their actual experience. Nursing workers are worried that AI will take away their jobs and lead to unemployment.

Nursing homes may be the industry that needs this type of AI the most, but the target users of nursing homes happen to be one of the groups with the strongest queue psychology.

Xiangshan had anticipated this result from the beginning. This was just a "hobby work" to integrate the cross-disciplinary team. He also comforted Florence, telling her that once the two major topics of human "cyborgization" and "cognitive revolution" were on the right track, they would definitely have the opportunity to promote this AI.

Then comes the story of stealing the country.

After all, this AI did not enter the medical scenario as originally expected.

In the early days of the birth of internal power, there were indeed some knights who had abnormal brain function due to the Dan enzyme and needed AI assistance to complete rehabilitation.

However, with Xiangshan and Zhu Xinyu's construction of the meditation technology tree, this early medical AI once again lost its narrow application scenarios.

In the past two hundred years, occasionally someone would write a patch for this type of AI out of personal interest, and occasionally a marginal scientific research knight would come to write a paper to "run the team". Its underlying logic has not changed at all.

Then, it met the Fifth Martial God who had completely lost his self.

At this time, the Fifth Martial God's condition was actually not much different from that of someone suffering from severe brain damage after a car accident.

AI does not consider “whether it makes sense to do this” or “whether it can succeed”. AI simply repeatedly stimulates this scrapped biological brain, then records the behaviors that are likely to get feedback, and then reinforces them.

Never tired, always sharp, for ten years.

The AI ​​will continue to apply for common medicines when the Knights have surplus resources. The Knights also need many reasonable reasons to consume the surplus resources.

With the assistance of AI, this biological brain borrowed the inner strength of the Fifth Martial God, bypassed the neural circuit blocker, and reconnected to the memory bank that was not completely dead yet.

Is this person who has regained his mind the fifth Martial God?

Perhaps, since the biological brain is exactly the same.

Is he another Xiangshan different from the Fifth Martial God?

Perhaps it can be considered so, because this personality was completely regenerated with the assistance of AI, and there is a gap of forty to fifty years between him and the Fifth Martial God.

At this moment, when Xiangshan got news from the outside world again, it was around the time when the Eighth Martial God died.

Xiangshan sent a message to Fuyuki Yongren, the official knight of the Solitary Prison Knights who was guarding him: "You look like you need help. Is there anything I can do for you?"

At this time, the martial arts world was experiencing its lowest ebb. It was hard to say whether the influence of the Eighth Martial God was good or bad. Zhu Xinyu had been avoiding the Martial God for the past 120 years (from the outside world's point of view), and the first Martial God she recognized was killed by King Agni before the uprising. The chivalrous sympathizers within the Protectorate did not dare to show their heads at this stage. And at that time, Fuyuki Yongren was obviously not a chivalrous sympathizer. After seeing the Fifth Martial God begging for mercy, it was difficult for the members of this Knight Order to worship and yearn for him.

However, Fuyuki Nagahito does need a little help.

As the Fifth Martial God's brain had been in a state of disrepair for a long time, the Knights of Solitary Prison had been unable to develop for nearly twenty years.

The reason for establishing the Solitary Prison Knights was to torture the Fifth Martial God and gain some knowledge about him.

As time went by, the throne and the God of War no longer paid their attention to this side.

The Knights of the Solitary Prison began to reel inwardly, with the official knights scheming and hating each other. They were determined to jump out of this deep pit and no longer serve as jailers of the Solitary Prison.

At that time, Fuyuki Nagahito was just a guy who had failed in the struggle and was driven to the margins and sat on the bench.

AI determined that the patient needed further recovery and therefore required psychological support from society, so it sought channels to allow Xiangshan to communicate with the caretakers within the scope of its authority.

Xiangshan offered a price that Fuyuki Nagahito could not refuse.

"I used to be the manager of the largest scientific research institution. According to your understanding, I was the Grand Knight Commander."

In this way, Fuyuki Nagahito became Mukaiyama's partner.

Xiangshan developed a force within the Lonely Prison Knights. The Fifth Martial God was doing something similar on Mars, and Xiangshan just continued the Fifth Martial God's idea and reduced the scale again.

"Due to the special nature of the Solitary Prison Knights, the Six Dragon Sect, which has not yet become powerful, dared not develop here until the Throne and the God of War completely lost interest..." The Soul-Calming Dharma King inexplicably added an important piece of information.

Xiangshan nodded: "I told you, the Fifth Martial God is simply...guilty of no fault of his own."

Judging from the talent, the Fifth Martial God might not be weaker than the other Xiangshans, but he walked onto an invisible and crowded track without knowing it.

"Then the story... is as you can see."

From a certain point in time, Xiangshan felt that it became easier to assimilate the members of the Lonely Prison Knights. It was easier for him to convince others and change Fuyuki Nagahito's mind.

If we talk about the exact time, it’s probably…

After the Ninth Martial God's uprising.

Xiangshan was puzzled at first because he could see the changes in his language patterns through recording and analysis. During the recovery process, he was indeed recovering gradually. However, his "ability to persuade others" suddenly leaped at a certain point in time.

It was not Xiangshan who changed, but others.

He realized this so clearly.

The changes brought about by the Ninth Martial God allowed Xiangshan to take a crucial step successfully.

Until today.

Fuyuki Nagahito handed a book to Xiangshan and said it was a gift to celebrate his escape.

"I heard that people in the old days used this way to express friendship."

Xiangshan turned the book over and over, and the Soul-Calming Dharma King even thought that the other party's posture might represent the "eye-rolling" of Homo sapiens: "An ultra-thin flexible screen bound by wires, with the main board located at the spine... My God, are you crazy, am I crazy, or is the world crazy?"

But he still sat on a sofa and started flipping through this ancient book in front of the Soul-Calming Dharma King.

The Soul-Calming Dharma King showed a strong sense of helplessness at this moment. He pointed at himself and said, "Shouldn't we continue to fight?"

"It's meaningless." Xiangshan glanced at the Soul-Calming Dharma King, "Singer, I don't think I can beat you now. In order not to cause more defeats to the God of War, I will consider avoiding the battle."

“How ridiculous…” The Soul-Calming Dharma King waved his hands vigorously, as if intending to draw a line between himself and Xiangshan. “The God of War has always been the prey of the Six Dragons Cult! It’s even better if you are Xiangshan…”

"Isn't Xiangshan the leader of your Six Dragons Sect? Why don't you consider hunting him down? With so many high-ranking members of your Six Dragons Sect, there must be quite a few people who know his location, right? You take the lead, and a group of people will surround him..."

The Soul-Calming Dharma King just felt incredible: "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"What the hell am I doing... Am I not showing you a clear path? If you capture your leader and do this and that, you will eventually be able to deepen your understanding of the phenomenon of the 'God of War'."

"We are not here for the God of War, we are, are..."

The Soul-Calming Dharma King suddenly stopped talking. He didn't know why, but when facing Xiang Shan, he always couldn't help but say more.

Xiangshan closed the book and said, "Then let me make a guess. Your goal is to study the God of War and use Xiangshan as a kind of 'group' for cultural information transmission, and to establish 'genetics' at the cognitive level. Yes, indeed, if it were me, I would inevitably have this idea. An individual with advanced cognitive abilities is affected by too many factors, and it is difficult to control the variables. This cognitive ability will change its nature when separated from social existence, and it is impossible to obtain a pure sample. Yes, yes, 'Xiangshan' is indeed... a God-given sample similar to a guinea pig."

The Soul-Calming Dharma King took a step back.

Just from the words "Martial God is prey" that he blurted out, plus the information revealed by the twelfth Martial God on Earth, Xiang Shan in front of him naturally analyzed it to this extent...

"But, as you can see, the results of destructive research are actually quite limited." Xiangshan said, "The War King Jerapetritis studied at the Military Academy and has no scientific research skills. Yawgmoth was also crazy at that time. I'm afraid his torture of the Fifth War God was mainly for emotional catharsis. Look at the Knights of the Solitary Prison. If I hadn't made a profit from it seventy or eighty years ago, I'm afraid they would have closed down now."

"I've thought about it carefully. The research that the Knights of the Solitary Prison are interested in is probably done during my rehabilitation period, based on my rehabilitation data, and I am deeply involved in it. Look, look, the destructive research on the Fifth Martial God has very limited value. I guess Yog doesn't know anything about Martial Gods."

The Soul-Calming Dharma King asked: "How do you know our research plan..."

"Well, if we start from the basic principle of 'control variables'... after you capture the Martial God, you plan to connect the Martial God to your leader's memory, let the Martial God enter virtual reality, and see the similarities and differences in the brain activities of different Xiangshan when facing the same situation?"

The Soul-Calming Dharma King stared at Xiangshan, and after a few seconds he shook his head dejectedly, "I'm not a scientific researcher, I'm not responsible for this side..."

"You should be able to explain your core philosophy, right? Maybe I can be convinced by you? After all, I am also a Xiangshan, and your leader is also a Xiangshan. Obviously, we have similar ideas. If you convince me, I might just join."

“Ascension…” The Soul-Calming Dharma King lowered his head, “Ascension is…”

The core picture of the Six Dragon Sect is actually not complicated.

"Oh, no wonder the 12th Martial God hasn't been fully disclosed. Well, he doesn't want to preach to your Six Dragon Sect. It sounds quite attractive." Xiangshan held his chin with one hand: "Singer, how about taking me to meet the leader of your Sanren Group? I plan to make a proposal that you will find it difficult to refuse."

The Soul-Calming Dharma King said, "What do you want to say... No, that's not right, shut up! Don't try to seduce me!"

"Instead of letting me experience the situation your leader is facing, why not let your leader experience the situation I am facing?" Xiang Shan spread his hands. "You are a secret organization. You should know that scientific methodology is very dependent on the freedom of information - this was told to me by the very capable Yogmoth back then. Secret societies are the opposite of 'freedom of information'. You must have a lot of internal records that will not be made public, right? But it's different here. I have been a research subject for a long time, and all records have been cross-validated. I even have physical shackles on my brain, a neural circuit blocker for the memory bank. If I give your leader one, wouldn't it be easier to control the variables, right?"

"You put similar blockers on other martial gods to block their memories, and then let them experience the situation of your leader without the blockers. This is obviously not enough to control the variables. But if you put a blocker on your leader and let him experience the situation I am facing, that will be a more comprehensive way to control the variables!"

"I...I..." The Soul-Calming Dharma King felt disgusted with himself.

He actually wavered.

He was actually shaken in his heart!

This is a betrayal of the leader!
This is a betrayal of the organization!

Guilt lingers in my heart.

"Alas, Dharma King, the guardian of the religion. Alas, you are desperate to ascend to heaven." Xiangshan sighed pretentiously, "Is your faith only this far, Dharma King, the Soul-Calming Dharma King? Does your faith depend entirely on the leader to maintain it? Shouldn't your faith be in your heart? Since your faith is to ascend to heaven at all costs, since you believe that 'ascension' is the only way to escape from the sea of ​​suffering - then why do you want to maintain your hope of ascension in a secret organization like the Six Dragons Sect?"

"If I prove to you that if you capture the leader you will be closer to ascension, why don't you do it?"

"We, the Six Dragon Sect, maintain each other..."

"Ahhh..." Xiangshan raised a finger and interrupted, "Excuse me, but you don't actually plan to return to the warm, polite, and orderly feudal society. Don't pretend to be ancient conservatives here. Your ultimate goal is to use the distance of the universe to block the connection between people. Your core doctrine is 'I don't believe that love can be eternal, but I believe that malice is eternal' and 'This family will break up sooner or later'. Under this premise, your core atmosphere is family love and parent-child love? To be honest, it's not as logical as ancient religions."

“What do you know…” The Soul-Calming Dharma King retorted loudly: “Even if parents and children will eventually part ways, they have lived in harmony for many years. This family love… Even if friends will part sooner or later, they have trusted each other…”

"Since everyone will suddenly face the moment of farewell..." Xiangshan smiled, trying not to laugh out loud, "It's the same for you and your leader. Why don't you start with the leader to get used to this kind of farewell? For the sake of ascension."

The Soul-Calming Dharma King lowered his head, silently raised his arm, and aimed the muzzle at Xiangshan: "I really should take you away..."

"You won't." Xiangshan said firmly, "The moment you felt familiar with my personal style, your strategic group selection tendency changed. You are undoubtedly Xiangshan's friend, and you will not hurt Xiangshan."

"I won't hurt you. As you said, destructive research can only achieve limited results..."

Xiang Shan said: "But you obviously also think that 'kidnapping and then putting him into virtual reality research' is a kind of harm, otherwise you would not refuse to use this method to deal with the leader."

"The only one who walked with me to Xiangshan was the leader..."

"Really? I don't believe it." Xiangshan nodded his head, "Don't forget, every Martial God has the memory of the Martial Ancestor. In the memory of the Martial Ancestor, there is a knight named Singhorst, a great guy."

The Soul-Calming Dharma King’s arms trembled: “You bastard…you…you bastard…”

He withdrew his arm.

"Have you thought about how to explain to the leader? Do you think the leader of the Six Dragons will still work with you in a friendly manner after learning about your choice just now?" Xiangshan flipped through the book again.

"This is none of your business..." The Soul-Calming Dharma King turned around.

"No, Singhorst will always be my friend."

"Come on, the twelfth martial god is also Xiangshan. How did he deal with Shenyuan Yanye?"

"I don't know what Kotonoha did or who she hurt, and I can't forgive her on behalf of the victim." Xiangshan closed the book again, his tone solemn, "I am not in a position to defend her. However, based on these things that I can't do anything about, I will definitely admit this - Kamiyahara Kotonoha is the beloved daughter of my best friend, my most important student and disciple, and to me, she is as important as my own daughter. I will never deny this."

"If the former knights and heroes must be judged, I will hand it over to others anyway, because I am a party to the case."

The Soul-Calming Dharma King sneered: "That's not how the 12th Martial God would act."

"He may be limited by reality and can't hand it over to others. And you also saw Xiangshan's helpless and furious look. He... the twelfth martial god, fell into extreme emotions because he was unable to change Shenyuan Yanye's situation." Xiangshan sighed, "This is a little benefit of being in prison. I am probably better than most martial gods at dealing with this kind of situation... where I am powerless."

"You want to say that you are special?" The Soul-Calming Dharma King shook his head. "At times like this, you are very much like our leader..."

"Every Xiangshan is special." Xiangshan said, "Just like every person is special. All people have more commonalities than characteristics, but those few characteristics are so eye-catching. What you said is individuality for Xiangshan, but within the Xiangshan group, it is obviously a commonality."

The Soul-Calming Dharma King glanced at the Firebird and said, "No matter what, you can't stop me from leaving."

"No, no, no, there's no need." Xiang Shan shook his finger. "Because of your current choice, your leader will probably be unhappy with you. And I don't really want you to go back and leak my information. It's too uncontrollable for me. If you insist on leaving, I will probably have no choice but to fight you. You will definitely be injured, and you won't be able to take me down intact. But based on this, you still have a choice, don't you?"

"You want to convince me to join the chivalrous camp now?" The Soul-Calming Dharma King wanted to laugh.

"It's not about joining the chivalrous camp, but about collecting some useful intelligence for the great cause of ascension." Xiang Shan held out his hand, "You can stay with me, collect the data of the God of War, save it, and send it to the Six Dragons Sect at a time I think is right. You don't have to join the chivalrous camp, nor do you need to fight as a knight. You just need to be an undercover agent of the Six Dragons Sect and collect the data of the God of War."

Medical technology is really advanced now. An 80-year-old man can be discharged from the hospital within half a week after having a malignant tumor removed. It is so advanced that it is a bit scary. My grandmother is doing well now. Thank you for your concern. I even want to think about the card-drawing mobile game.
