Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 276: The one who understands people’s hearts!

moment……

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the 'Lord of Heaven', right?"

The young man stepped into the playground, stared at Xia Ye, and then spoke.

"And you should also know who I am..."

"Greetings, Senior Sima!"

Looking at Sima Yi opposite him, Xia Ye became alert and bowed.

It was not until this moment that he realized that things were not as simple as he and Zhuge Kongming and others had thought. The state of Sima Yi in front of him... was actually the same as Zhang Jiao and others!

"..."

At this moment, from Xia Ye's perspective, he could clearly see through "understanding" that Sima Yi's Taoist body was not complete and was obviously damaged.

"It shouldn't be..."

However, this seems a little difficult to understand. After all, as the sorcerer who has the last laugh and is extremely good at forbearance, there should be no problem with his character and strength.

It was at this time...

Swish swish!
Two breezes blew by, and a "innate qi" condensed. Zhuge Kongming, Sima Hui and Zuo Rutong also came here with a group of "top talents", and their faces showed strange expressions at the same time.

"Zhongda?!"

Like Xia Ye, they also noticed Sima Yi's abnormality and widened their eyes. The three counselors all had solemn expressions and were also surprised.

"how come……"

After observing for a while, Zhuge Kongming's heart sank. He couldn't think of any possibility that could damage this guy's Dao body. He knew this guy's strength too well...

If it weren't for my suppression, this guy would have been able to achieve the "pinnacle" before my "death"!
That’s right, unlike everyone else, Sima Yi did not enter the “Inner Scene Space” with a cultivation level “below the top”. He had already achieved the “top” at that time. In this case, his body was already solid and round, so how could it be possible for his body to be damaged…

"unless……"

But the next second, Zhuge Kongming thought of another possibility and his eyes moved.

"This guy...actually destroyed his own body!"

"what?!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at him with surprised expressions.

"There is only one possibility. He destroyed his Dao body and turned himself into this state. His purpose is also very clear..."

"win!"

"This guy... wants to be the final winner of this bet!"

"What? Is he crazy!"

Sun Ce, who was standing by, was immediately surprised when he heard this.

"What's the point of him doing this? Can it really help with winning?"

"Have!"

Zhou Yu nodded at this time, he also understood.

"He has cut off his own escape route, leaving no stone unturned!"

In their view, Sima Yi's purpose in doing this was obvious:

The first is to completely let go of the so-called "bet" and everything that could make him relax, so that he can devote himself to that one goal.

The second, and most surprising point, is to turn oneself into the "most suitable candidate" and force others to compromise!
"Zhongda, am I right?"

At this time, Zhuge Kongming looked at Sima Yi. He knew this guy too well and knew that only this guy would do such a crazy thing and could definitely do it.

"Ha ha……"

"Zhuge Cunfu, it seems that you are the one who knows me best in this world!"

Sima Yi grinned.

"Yes, just as you said, I destroyed my own Dao body and cut off all my escape routes. The final candidate must be me and only me. There is no other possibility!"

"Ok?"

Seeing Sima Yi speak, Xia Ye, who had been observing him, couldn't help but focus his eyes, and found that there was something wrong, that is, although this guy's body was damaged, his performance was not like that of the three Zhang Jiao brothers...

His true spirit is not asleep!

In other words, he is now facing everyone with his complete self, which seems even more terrifying. Not only has he cut off his retreat, he still maintains the clearest judgment. He is determined to burn his boats and not give up until he achieves his goal.

but……

"Um...Senior Sima, I have something to say but I'm not sure if I should say it."

Xia Ye suddenly spoke, and everyone looked at him, and immediately understood what he wanted to say.

The scene was awkward for a moment...

"Ok?"

Noticing everyone's strangeness, Sima Yi's expression suddenly froze, and he immediately looked at him: "What do you want to say?"

"That's right..."

"In fact, regarding your bet, the situation has changed a bit now. You seniors may not need to make sacrifices anymore. We already have a new solution!"

"..."

Hearing this, the smile on Sima Yi's face froze, and he couldn't help but look at Zhuge Kongming and others.

"Are you serious?"

"Well, that's absolutely true!"

Everyone nodded.

Zhuge Kongming then replied:

"If not for this, we wouldn't be here together. We would definitely be on guard against each other. However, this matter has just been decided. We are also preparing to do our best to find you and tell you the current situation."

"This……"

Hearing this, Sima Yi was speechless. Even if he was a master of calculation, how could he have predicted this...

"So, what's going on now?"

He waved his hand gently and put Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao gently on the ground.

"Now..."

So, Zhuge Kongming immediately spoke up and explained the current situation to him, saying that this was indeed the best approach at the moment and that it could be tried.

"Um……"

"So, you are really sure that you can reach the top within five years?"

Sima Yi pondered for a moment, then calmed down and asked Xi'ai Ye.

"To answer your question, senior, I'm afraid no one in the world can guarantee such a thing, but I have the confidence and will definitely do my best to achieve it!"

Xia Ye responded immediately.

"..."

Seeing this, Sima Yi could only take a deep breath and suddenly felt a headache. He thought his plan was perfect, but who would have thought...

"Yeah, I understand." After a little pause, he looked at Zhuge Kongming and others and said seriously:

"Well, everyone, since things have come to this, why don't we end the original 'bet'? I will be the candidate. What do you think?"

"After all, even if I try my best to repair it, it will not be possible to restore the Dao body in five years. I hope you can help me."

"This……"

There is no doubt that everyone felt a little embarrassed about Sima Yi's request, which is understandable. After all, if they could just agree to it, the "bet" would no longer exist.

They all want to be the sacrifice.

As for why...

"Ugh……"

"Zhongda probably wanted to see the scenery of Tongtian, which is understandable."

Zhuge Kongming spoke up, not only Sima Yi, but they were the same.

People like them have practiced cultivation for their entire lives and have basically let go of all worldly affairs. The only thing they pursue in their hearts is to "seek the truth". If there is even the slightest possibility, they are willing to try...

Even if it’s just a glance.

As for the "possibility of reaching the sky" created by one person's sacrifice...

Since everyone will inevitably fall into a deep sleep after this, no one can guarantee when they will wake up or whether they will really wake up again.

Of course, this is an absolutely "utilitarian" perspective. Although everyone has this idea, it is just a "gift" of "sacrifice". Their core idea is still to sacrifice themselves and fulfill others.

This does not mean that everyone's thoughts suddenly become unified, but it is a necessity after reaching the "ultimate state". As the "ultimate state", one has already "integrated into the world", and one's thoughts and ideas will be more in line with the principles of the world, and the idea of ​​"liberating oneself to benefit all things" will arise accordingly.

In other words, to some extent, all those who are “the best” can undoubtedly be called “saints”!
At this time, hearing Zhuge Kongming's words, Sima Yi also smiled:
"Yes, that's exactly what I want!"

"Besides, I said before I made this 'bet' that I am the most suitable person for this role. I am the final winner and I deserve to win everything!"

"This……"

Seeing his stubbornness, everyone couldn't help but feel a headache, and they looked at each other.

In fact, things have come to this point and everything has changed. If this guy really wants to take this position... it's fine.

then……

"Then Zhongda, this will be as you wish, how about it?"

After a brief discussion, Zhuge Kongming spoke directly.

"Is this true?"

Seeing that everyone finally gave in, Sima Yi's face widened with smiles and he confirmed it immediately.

"Of course it's true!"

"Well, it's a deal then!"

Sima Yi was finally satisfied. He waved his hand and a breeze blew up, carrying Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao back to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Then, he waved his hand gently, and all the prisoners and prison guards behind him left and returned to where they were supposed to be. He could restore order with just a thought.

Seeing that he finally compromised and stopped, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, judging from his desperate attitude just now, if they really fought, there would inevitably be injuries, which would be detrimental to future plans.

But what no one expected was that just when they thought everything had been resolved and could proceed smoothly as planned, this guy actually threw out another difficult problem.

"Oh, by the way, everyone, I have another problem that needs to be solved..."

Sima Yi turned his head and suddenly remembered something.

"I'm not the only one who's 'burning his boats' this time. Everyone on my side, including those I was able to win over in advance, has done the same as me... and damaged their Dao bodies."

"what?!"

When everyone heard this, they felt a headache again.

"Sima Yi, you are really crazy!"

Sun Ce couldn't help but roar.

Sima Yi helplessly spread his hands:
"There is nothing I can do about it. After all, in my opinion, the possibility of me winning over the 'Eastern Wu' is not great. In the end, it will most likely be my side against the 'Wu-Shu Alliance'. If I don't think of an extreme method... it may not work."

"Of course, the damage to their Taoist bodies is not the same as that to the natural village. It just makes their true spirits sleep without damaging their strength. If I can control and dispatch them in a unified way, their power will surely be unstoppable and they will succeed immediately!"

At this point, Sima Yi couldn't help laughing again:
"Of course, the reason they are willing to help me is not only because I am qualified to be the final candidate, but also because I promised them that if I can win in the end, I will definitely be able to see the scenery of 'Tongtian'!"

"As for this point, I believe that among all of you present here, only Zhuge Cunfu dares to make the same guarantee. As for Zhou Gongjin and Sun Bofu... you two are just qualified, aren't you?"

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Ce snorted angrily, but had no way to refute it, which told him that what this guy said was true and it was indeed the fact.

At the same time, everyone is clear about the difference and knows the gap between "qualified" and "able to do anything". Although everyone will eventually fall, "being able to see" and "having the possibility of seeing"... are two different things.

At this time, Sima Yi continued:

"Looking at myself and Zhuge Cunfu, I also have self-knowledge. If we really talk about wisdom and potential, I am indeed inferior to Cunfu, so it is best to keep him..."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhuge Kongming.

"Zhuge Cunfu, I'll let you take care of the bottom line. I'll feel at ease."

"Zhongda..."

It was not until this moment that everyone completely understood his true thoughts and were speechless for a moment. It must be said that if it is interpreted from this angle, it is truly the most perfect solution.

half an hour...

Zhuge Kongming spoke:
"Zhongda, you said you are not as good as me, but you are really modest. I am the only one who understands your talent. Your real ability... lies in your 'understanding of people's hearts'!"

"Indeed, if we talk about the Qi of Qi and military tactics, I can be better than you, but only by one point. But if we talk about 'controlling people's hearts and achieving goals', Kong Ming is far inferior!"

"Just like now, even though times have changed, you still achieved your goal... so easily!"

"hiss……"

When Zhuge Kongming said this, everyone except Sima Hui and Zhou Yu took a deep breath before they realized...

It seems to be true!

Only ten minutes had passed since they arrived here, but the "final quota" that had been bothering them had actually been decided, which was what Sima Yi wanted!

"I say, you didn't intend to do this all along, did you? Even if the current situation wasn't the case, you would still force me to do this!"

Seeing this, Sun Ce immediately became suspicious, and Sima Yi immediately laughed.

"Hahaha!"

"It's just one of the plans!"

This is Sima Yi, who will stop at nothing to achieve his goal, and has endless ingenious strategies and plans. Except for Xia Ye, he has thought of everything else, and it is already a "sure win"!

Just as Zhuge Kongming said, he is best at "controlling people's hearts", and the most important and crucial thing in this struggle is "people's hearts"!

"Okay, Zhongda..."

At this point, everyone didn't want to waste any more time, so Zhuge Kongming spoke immediately.

"Since your goal has been achieved, there is no need to say more. The most urgent task now is to find all your people and solve their problems."

He knew that if the others were just sleeping in their true spirits as this guy said, then the problem would not be a big deal and could be easily solved.

Sima Yi also smiled:
"Okay, let's go!"
