Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 266 The ultimate bet!

"Haotian, the Lord of Heaven?"

When Sun Ce and the other two saw this masked figure suddenly appear, they became alert and looked surprised.

"Ok?"

And then, they sensed the "superb" aura of the other party, and their eyes focused. Based on this point and the way this guy was dressed, his identity was basically confirmed.

"My name is Zhou Yu. Nice to meet you, fellow Taoist. If I'm not mistaken... you should have come all the way here to look for us?"

"I don't know what you want?"

At this time, Zhou Yu stood up and saluted, then spoke first.

Before this, he had sensed a force from jade, but it was fleeting and hard to capture. In addition, he had heard about the "Pingxiang Plague" some time ago, and thought it might be related to the person in front of him.

At the same time, he could also sense that in terms of strength and ability, the person in front of him was definitely not weaker than himself and others, otherwise he would not have been unable to sense it.

Of course he didn't know that Xia Ye had actually been hiding in the inner scene before, revealing only part of his perception. In addition, the current state of the three was far from "complete power", so he was unable to sense it.

"Junior has met three seniors."

Seeing Zhou Yu salute, Xia Ye returned the salute and then explained.

"As the senior said, I have come here specially to look for you three. As for the reason..."

"I am very interested in what the three seniors just discussed!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu thought that this guy might also have a jade from an old friend, so he narrowed his eyes and asked immediately:

"What do you know?"

"Well..."

Xia Ye smiled slightly and shook his head gently.

"I don't know anything yet. I just heard the conversation between the three seniors. I already have some doubts, so..."

"Suspect?"

"It seems that you do know something. Why not exchange it?"

As the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Wu and a truly "wise and brave general", Zhou Yu keenly grasped the implication of Xia Ye's words and immediately made a proposal.

Just as he said before, their goal this time was to "seize the initiative". In addition, they also wanted to cooperate with "Heaven". Now that the other party has taken the initiative to come to them, it can be regarded as an opportunity.

"can!"

There was no doubt that Xia Ye had the same idea, so he nodded in agreement and immediately said:
"To be honest with you three seniors, I was the first one to discover your appearance. At that time, I just thought that a great disaster had come, so I wanted to gather the power of the world to deal with it together."

"So, I went to Zhuge Village with my friends and fellow practitioners, hoping to use the power of the Zhuge family's 'Return to Origin Formation' to deduce the secrets of heaven. However, I happened to find Senior Zhuge who had already awakened and learned about his current situation."

Then, Xia Ye briefly talked about what happened in Pingxiang before, as well as his speculations and suspicions about this incident, and also explained the reason why he came to find "Dongwu".

"In my opinion, there may be some unknown situation between Senior Wolong and Senior Sima, so I want to find 'Dongwu' who has nothing to do with either party to see if I can get some information."

"Um……"

After hearing this, Zhou Yu and the other two were silent, with a hint of surprise in their eyes at the same time. They obviously didn't expect that this guy could make such an accurate guess. He was truly very wise.

However, Zhou Yu was still very alert and did not tell everything immediately. Instead, he narrowed his eyes:
"If that's the case, then how can we believe that you are not from the 'Zhuge faction' or the 'Sima faction' and that we can rest assured to cooperate with you?"

"this is very simple!"

Xia Ye smiled and responded immediately.

"From what the three seniors just said, you must have made some kind of 'bet' with the two seniors, and 'time' and 'efficiency' are the key to determining victory or defeat."

"And if I were on the side of those two seniors, I wouldn't need to talk to you three any more, or even show up. I would just need to interfere when you three are looking for someone. Plus, without the help of the 'Return to Origin Formation', you three will be doomed to failure!"

"Of course, you three may doubt that I am not the real 'Lord of Heaven'. After all, the 'Lord of Heaven' always wears a mask when he appears, so it is not difficult to disguise. But don't forget... I am also a 'superb person'."

"And you three may not know that there are four 'top masters' in the alien world. One is Zuo Ruotong, the head of the Sanyi Sect, one is Master Jiekong from the other side of the Buddhist sect, and one is Zhang Zhiwei, the former Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain. I am the fourth..."

"These three are all respected elders in the martial arts world. They would not bother to pretend, so there is no doubt about my identity."

"So... can the three seniors be trusted?"

"..."

After hearing what he said, Zhou Yu and the other two looked at each other and smiles appeared on their faces.

I have to admit that what this guy said is true. If he really wanted to trip me up, he wouldn't have to show up and could just continue hiding in the dark.

Coupled with his "top" identity, the three of them no longer had any doubts. After all, they really had to race against time, so there was no need to dwell on it any further.

then……

"Well, we trust you, so please take a seat."

Zhou Yu immediately raised his hand and pointed to the empty stone bench beside him.

"No, there are too many people here, it's not a truly quiet place. Because of my own reasons, I don't want to reveal my true appearance. Why don't you three seniors follow me to a quiet place?"

"Well, then, as you say."

Since the three of them agreed, Xia Ye didn't hesitate any longer. He immediately transformed himself into "Innate Qi" and rolled up the three of them, and disappeared in an instant.

In a short while, four people appeared on the roof of a nearby building. There was no passage up there and no one could come up, so there was no need to worry.

"Well, this place is nice."

After looking around, Sun Ce nodded slightly, and the four of them sat down cross-legged. Zhou Yu then spoke:
"Regarding our bet...it's okay to tell you, but you have to promise to cooperate with me, 'Dongwu'."

"That's no problem, I'm all ears!"

"it is good."

Seeing his straightforwardness, Zhou Yu was quite satisfied, and began to explain:

"This matter has to start from that year..."

……

……

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms were in a state of turmoil, but it was also the beginning of a great era, and many heroes emerged.

In the history of ordinary people, the Three Kingdoms fought for many years and fought against each other, and finally the Sima family won the throne and then unified. But in the history of the aliens, which is unknown even to the alien world, everything is a different picture.

At that time, due to the oppression of the world and the endless pressure from all sides, the heroes of the Three Kingdoms continued to squeeze their own potential, make breakthroughs one after another, and all hoped to reach the "top".

It is precisely because of this that the top people from all sides also sensed something strange when they broke through. It was a breath from "outside the sky" and it was extremely strange.

And when Zhuge Kongming was the first to reach the "top" and pushed open the "door to the top", the source of this aura was revealed. All the heroes in the world were shocked, and they realized that the real enemy was not right in front of them.

In this way, Wei, Shu and Wu came together for the first time to discuss the matter and finally reached a consensus:
The war cannot be stopped, but the danger from outside the sky cannot be ignored. They are powerless in this world, but through deduction, there will surely be a great era in the future, and the crisis may also come at that time!

Leave behind a spark and plan for the future!
This……

That is the truth behind Zhuge Kongming's "borrowing the Guiyuan Formation to reach the sky" back then. As he himself said, it was to save the lives of the heroes.

But they all know that even those with natural talent cannot escape the test of time, and no one knows how long it will take for the great future to come. During this period, some people will die and some will be lost.

But fortunately, as long as the power of the "Guiyuan Formation" is still there, it can gather everything. The life and strength of the deceased will not be lost in vain, but will flow into the remaining "jade stones" through the "Guiyuan Formation".

At the same time, this is also the best way to increase strength. By combining the strength of everyone into one, one may be able to achieve true "heaven-reaching power" to fight against aliens.

……

……

"Therefore, the content of this bet is actually very simple. It depends on which of the three of us can defeat the other two first. Whoever can do so will be the final winner!"

Zhou Yu spoke slowly.

"To be honest, we have been through two thousand years of baptism. Even though most of us are not really flawed, our own ways have been worn out to some extent. In addition, our potential has been squeezed out, so it is extremely difficult to make further progress."

"So, Kong Ming and Zhong Da, the two most promising among us, made this agreement, and Bo Fu and I felt that we could still move forward, so we naturally joined in."

"It's not just us. The three Zhang Jiao brothers also got into gambling in the beginning, but they couldn't stand the ravages of time, and that's when the Pingxiang incident happened."

So far, the matter about the "bet" has been basically explained, and Xia Ye finally understood that this was not the "cause of the disaster", but a big plan laid by the predecessors for the future.

In that case, he really had misunderstood. Now, in addition to helping "Dongwu" gather troops, perhaps he only needs to deal with those "crazy people".

However, despite this, Zhou Yu's words were indeed sincere, but...

"..."

Xia Ye's heart trembled, and he felt that there was something strange, but he couldn't find the reason.

But he knew that when he reached the "ultimate state", any thought in his mind would never be aimless. He must have sensed something in the dark, but it was not clear yet.

"what?!"

And then, Xia Ye pondered for a moment, and finally figured out where this "strange feeling" came from, it was from that "Zhuge Kongming"!
He found that if everything was really exactly as Zhou Yu said, then "Zhuge Kongming", as the one who planned it, should not hide it. He has the Zhuge family as his backing and the opportunity of the world's top man coming to him, so he should explain everything to lay the foundation for victory...

But he didn't do that.

"Maybe... he didn't want to win?"

"It's not possible, but what is the reason?"

Having come to this point, Xia Ye had no other solution. This question remained in his mind, and he also made a decision.

"Let's proceed according to the original plan first!"

For Xia Ye, the "global alienization" has just been promoted, and there is still a lot of work to be done. The real great era is indeed about to come, but it has not yet arrived, and everything is still unknown.

And at such a critical juncture, a group of people showed up, seemingly wanting to cause trouble for each other. No matter what their purpose was, he would not let them do as they pleased. Everything had to be under control.

in this way……

According to the original plan, cooperating with "Dongwu" and taking control of this force that did not originally participate in the gambling and joined later was the wisest choice, and the final result was not unexpected.

By now he had understood clearly that this was a bet among the three powers, but in reality it was a test of who would reap the benefits. The seemingly irreconcilable and difficult-to-cooperate situation between the Shu and Wei families was the most advantageous one. If he could use it well, the outcome would be up to him.

then……

"Well, three seniors, I understand. I admire your kindness. I will do my best for this cooperation!"

"It's just that I have a question, and I hope the three seniors can tell me honestly..."

"Speaking!"

"Since Senior Zhou said that this bet is to determine the 'final' and 'most suitable' person, do Senior Zhou and Senior Sun really have the confidence and ability to take on this task?"

While asking this question, Xia Ye's eyes showed seriousness. This was extremely important to him as it was related to how he would decide in the future.

At the same time, he also believed that if the three people in front of him really had such a selfless spirit to help the world, they would naturally tell him the truth, so he immediately began to observe.

"Ha ha……"

Hearing this, the three of them smiled at each other, obviously not surprised. They all looked at Xia Ye at the same time with serious expressions.

"Of course we have the confidence and ability to do so!"

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce responded in unison.

Then, Da Qiao also added:
"I don't know how people in the future will evaluate my husband and Gongjin, but I know that the future will never see the full picture of them."

"And I am here, I can swear my life, both of them could have stood on the top of the mountain in their time. My husband is as strong as Lu Bu, and Gongjin is as smart as Zhuge Liang. They are qualified to compete for this position!"

"lady!"

"Brother and sister-in-law, thank you for your praise!"

"it is good!"

Seeing that the two were full of confidence and Da Qiao swore on her life as proof, Xia Ye had no reason not to believe it and nodded immediately.

"In this case, I am relieved!"

Seeing him like this, Zhou Yu also smiled:
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Haotian, to be honest, if you hadn't asked this question, I might not have been completely confident in you. This at least proves that you are not cautious enough..."

"And if you ask this question, it is enough to prove that you really have the ability to stir up the world. It is a blessing for our Dongwu to be able to form an alliance with you!"

"Don't say that, senior!"

Since the general situation was clear and they had signed a covenant, Xia Ye naturally stopped hiding it and said immediately:
"I know that the three seniors want to cooperate with me just to borrow the power of my 'Heaven'. That's easy to say!"

"From today on, I will do my best to help the three seniors find people so that 'Dongwu' can be gathered as soon as possible!"
