From the end of the world

Chapter 613: A Promise

For now, I have no way of knowing which side the old boxing god will choose in the end, or whether he will remain neutral as in the past. I can only turn my attention back to the present.

"Speaking of which, Naraku's Will has been severely damaged by Naraku's Gospel and is in a very weak state. Since you, the Humane Divine Soldier, use Naraku's Will as the source of your power, won't you be affected?" I asked curiously.

"No problem. When I unsealed the Humane Divine Weapon, I checked the operating status of this magic weapon from inside to outside. I was mainly busy with the unsealing and inspection in the morning. I can be sure that there will be no problems with the output." Fa Zheng replied, "As for the current situation of Naraku's will, it may be different from what you understand. Naraku's will may have been severely damaged, but its basic volume should not have been reduced much.

"You can understand this by observing the current state of human civilization. If the collective unconsciousness of humanity has really been severely damaged to the point of disappearing, it will definitely be reflected in the humans who are still alive today. The fact is, before you told us about the state of Naraku's will, we didn't even know that such a thing had happened.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Naraku's will has probably just become extremely fragmented, temporarily unable to maintain its past unity, and unable to express its own clear opinions. As a 'will' it is certainly quite bad, but as a 'power' it is still intact.

"The so-called 'unconscious', especially the 'collective unconscious', may be more natural if it lacks integration... But even if the structure becomes more fragmented, there is definitely a basic commonality, which is the desire not to die."

In other words, Naraku's will will still transmit power to the human divine weapons.

Just like a person who faints and passes out, his breathing and heartbeat will not stop, and the blood will continue to flow in his veins. As long as the moment of true death has not arrived, the instinct will not disappear.

"Let's go," Fa Zheng said, "Follow me."

As he spoke, he stood up, leaning on his silver-white spear, then took a step toward the east, and his figure disappeared from the reception room.

The traces of cause and effect unfolded naturally in my vision. My eyes penetrated time and space and followed the clues to the scene thousands of miles away. Fa Zheng had already reached the outskirts of the target city, his body suspended in the air under the clouds. So I stood up and took a step in that direction. The surrounding time and space scenes changed rapidly, and I came to Fa Zheng's side.

Below us was the intercity highway, and vehicles of all colors became as small as insects, densely moving along the gray line. If a driver happened to look up at the sky, I wonder if he could see us flying in the sky. If there happened to be a telescope at hand, I guess we could see it more clearly.

In today's world, quite a number of people probably will no longer be as naive as in peacetime and regard the suspicious black spots that inexplicably appear in the sky as birds, animals, drones, etc. Instead, they may seriously suspect whether they are passing monsters or even alien UFOs.

Fa Zheng suddenly turned his head and asked, "There is one more thing I forgot to ask you. Last time we met, I was shocked by what you said, so I accidentally overlooked it. What is Xuan Ming's purpose in trying to capture the Son of God beside you and launch the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony?"

After thinking about it, I answered: "...Xuan Ming wants to find the master of the divine seal."

"Is it really like this..." Fa Zheng stared at me deeply.

To be honest, I don’t really want to answer this question directly.

Since Fa Zheng has denied the human genocide plan, in order to save the world, he must come up with his own plan, and it is very likely that he will come to a similar conclusion as Xuan Ming in the end.

Therefore, once they realize that "the real seal holder can be found by sacrificing Xiaowan", not only Xuanming, but also Fazheng and Gua Tianshi will be tempted. Furthermore, if Xiaowan is not an important person in my heart, even I will think about whether I should catch this child of divinity and use him to track down the whereabouts of the real seal holder. So I have no right to condemn others for making things difficult for such a little girl.

However, deceiving and concealing the truth on this issue is undoubtedly a bad idea. Not to mention that Fa Zheng and Gua Tianshi can easily deduce the truth with their wisdom. Although Xuan Ming and Luo Shan Da Wu Chang are enemies on the surface, they share the same stance of wanting to save the world, so it is possible that Xuan Ming will reach a consensus with Fa Zheng and Gua Tianshi on the matter of "sacrificing the small bowl".

I must talk about this matter in advance and make my attitude clear.

"I won't allow anyone to sacrifice Xiaowan." I said directly, "Whoever wants to do that is my enemy." "I also don't want to push a powerful force like you to the opposite side at this important time when we are about to go to war with the Gospel Institute. So we can promise you that we won't take action against the Son of God." Fa Zheng also said uprightly, "But the matter involves saving the world, and I must remind you that this promise is time-limited.

"At least, we can't be so patient that we will continue to care about your personal mood even if the doomsday process is pushed to the point of urgency."

"You said 'we'?" I asked.

"These two days, I have not only been investigating Mingzhuo's footprints and evidence of his crimes, but I have also found Gua Tianshi and Jian Feixian, and have discussed with them to form a united front to stop the human massacre plan. At the same time, Gua Tianshi also guessed the core point of the conflict between Xuanming and you. I am very happy that you did not try to deceive or hide it from me just now." Fa Zheng said.

"So, what do you think about the conflict between Xuanming and Taoyuan Township Master?" I asked, "Those two people are now in a mess in the south. Don't you have any thoughts of intervening in the conflict?"

"I also want to intervene. Their conflict has involved the entire city, and I'm afraid it has caused the death of tens of millions of people. The entire city's population is probably wiped out in the conflict of the Great Impermanence. But I can't find a way to break through the barrier in a short time." Fa Zheng sighed, "According to Yuchi's analysis of the barrier, it is more of an obstacle formed by an extremely huge force. Because the structure tends to be simple, there is not much room for the intervention of formation technology.

"So even if it's Yuchi himself, he probably won't be able to get in without ten days or half a month. And the sea of ​​fire that Xuanming set up around the city also prevented him from getting close, making it difficult to deal with him further. In addition, he has to focus on studying the technical data of 'Dushuo Mountain' recently. We can only let Xuanming and Taoyuan Township Master hold each other back for now, and we will deal with the Gospel Institute first."

If he hadn't said it, I wouldn't have thought of asking Yuchi to conquer the barrier. As for the sea of ​​fire, I can also use my own power to invade it and open up a safe passage for Yuchi to enter. But if even Yuchi needs ten days or half a month, it's better for me to continue to try to conquer it myself.

Since the people over there are already dead, it is better to focus on the Gospel House, which is more threatening in terms of both purpose and strength. Although Fa Zheng's judgment sounds cold-blooded, it is also helpless. Only an omniscient and omnipotent person can have it all. Otherwise, even a god must face the reality of making choices.

Afterwards, Fa Zheng and I entered the sky above the city.

Fa Zheng showed a serious expression, and I also concentrated all my energy.

Ming Zhuo was a cunning and cautious man. It was unnatural for a man like him to reveal his whereabouts after just two days of hiding. Although it was possible that he left clues out of carelessness, it was better to overestimate the opponent if he didn't want to be tricked.

There is another thing that is even more unnatural about this matter, that is, he never left the city after entering it. Could it be that he really thinks that this kind of place can be the best shelter? Or has he made all preparations to fight me here and thinks he can defeat me?
Maybe he took into account the fact that "Fa Zheng will also participate in the crusade" and intended to join forces with other gods in the Gospel Academy to ambush us here. However, this is not the Taoyuan Township headquarters that has been managed by the enemy for a long time. It is impossible to cover up the mana fluctuations of the Great Impermanence level. Once a large-scale conflict of that scale occurs, it will inevitably evolve into the final battle between Luo Shan and the Gospel Academy.

Would the Gospel Institute do such a thing at this stage? I cannot say for sure whether it is or not. At the same time, I can observe that Fa Zheng was aware of this problem from the beginning. He probably made more preparations for the crusade against Mingzhu than he said.

"Zhuang Cheng, let's find him together." Fa Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Okay." I summoned a fireball.

The fireball exploded and turned into tens of thousands of "fireflies", flying in all directions like fireworks blooming in the sky.

We also radiate our own perception.

If we rashly sense other Great Impermanence, we will be sensed by them in return, especially for Great Impermanence like Mingzhu who prefers to hide his temperament. However, we have no intention of hiding anything. At this moment, we directly use our perception to the utmost and scan the entire city without restraint.

I even used all the "fireflies" as relays for my own perception. Not only were all outdoor areas and building interiors on the surface observed in great detail, but even places ten thousand meters underground were observed in great detail to ensure that no gaps for shelter would be missed, leaving no place for lurking people to escape.
