The copy has 0 error tolerance, and the last words on the ground are all wrong for me.

Chapter 253 Why Do You Believe Me?

The moment Wu Chang swung his sword, the world fell into pure silence, as if a silent play was being performed.

The sword flashed past, cutting off the sound, cutting off the space, and also cutting off the golden cymbals in the sky.

He also cut off Huanxi's golden body.

The moment the golden cymbal was cut in half by the giant golden sword, a scar deep to the bone appeared on Huanxi's exposed chest, and blood gushed out, making the golden body, which had already become dull due to the condensation of the golden cymbal, even lighter in color, turning from a golden body into a bronze sculpture.

Although Huanxi was still standing, Wu Chang could feel that Huanxi's pure Buddha body was completely shattered this time.

The massive leakage of anger and energy caused Huanxi's body to collapse even faster than his transformation into the Knight of Strife.

Starting from the feet, the huge bronze Buddha statue weathered and fell apart at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The winner was decided. Wu Chang looked happy and said with a hint of pride:

"It seems that external objects are better."

Huanxi looked at the huge wound on his chest and the broken bones inside the wound, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Ever since he developed the Buddha body, he has never suffered such a serious injury. Even when he was surrounded and hunted by the rational world's hunting team, he had never been so embarrassed.

I didn't expect to be defeated by a player from the Wilderness today, and he was a novice who had only entered the Wilderness for two or three months.

If he had Wu Chang's opportunity and the favor of the Abyss Game Administrator, there would be no worries for him to achieve his great goals.
Just before he took action, he saw Wu Chang take out two more props. No matter it was the Golden Throne or the False Miracle, they were both top-level props in the Wilderness and were in short supply. Even if he had obtained one before, he would have used it with great care and would have wanted to offer it up when not in use.

But Wu Chang used them casually, without a trace of caution. It can be seen that Wu Chang did not care about the two props. He actually owned more than two props of this level, and even had props more precious than these.

After two or three months in the Abyss Game, how many copies has he experienced at most?

Why? !

The world is so unfair, with no distinction between good and evil, and no clear distinction between rewards and punishments, so what is the meaning of everything he does?
Looking back on the past, Huanxi felt that he was extremely ridiculous. He held his head high, and told himself that his red nose would fall off if he lowered it.

An unknown fire rose up, and the golden body of joy in the corner that he couldn't notice, the golden color faded again, or even peeled off directly.

wrong!

Huanxi seemed to notice something, as if suddenly awakened from a dream, and suddenly came to his senses.

When he had achieved a minor Buddhahood and was practicing without leakage, he thought that even if he could not completely eliminate greed, anger, and ignorance, he could at least control the three poisons in his heart. No matter what he saw, he could maintain his original mind and not have any false thoughts or worries.

But just now, the greed, anger, and ignorance that had been hidden in his heart burst out. With the huge impact Wu Chang brought him, it grew wildly in his heart and was about to affect his heart of Tao.

It was at this moment that he realized that it was not that he was born with the ability to keep his original heart and have no desires, but that he had obtained too much and could get what he wanted without having to ask for it explicitly.

The players he had seen in the past, even if they were stronger than him, had better opportunities than him, and had better talents than him, were only within a certain range.

There has always been a loophole in his heart, but the loophole was too small and difficult to trigger, so he had never discovered it.

No matter how much you recite scriptures every day, if you cannot see the complete picture of yourself, how can you make up for the gaps?
No matter how much mental preparation one has beforehand, no matter how much theoretical foundation one has, or how much self-enlightenment one has, it cannot replace the confusion and helplessness one feels when the three poisons manifest and truly attack the loopholes in one's heart.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

He was happy until he met Wu Chang, who was cheating unreasonably. Just when he had the greatest confidence in himself, he was defeated by the other party across the border.

Only when his defenses were completely broken from the outside to the inside did he see the loopholes in his heart.

Huanxi quickly calmed his mind, stretched out his hand to take the rosary beads scattered around, and without the need to string the beads together, the rosary beads formed a circle beside his hand and slowly rotated as he twisted them. He closed his eyes, not looking at Wu Chang, and recited scriptures softly.

The sound of the scriptures was pious, with a gentle and melodious tone that lingered. In the high-rise buildings surrounding the square, the media from various countries who were watching the scene had just been disturbed and panicked by the previous battle, but now they all quieted down when they heard the scriptures.

They could not understand the meaning of the scriptures, but they could feel the peaceful state of mind contained in them. The tones of chanting seemed not like language but like the scales of musical instruments.

Huanxi's body was still collapsing, but his golden body, which had originally degenerated into bronze, was now flashing with golden light again, and it was even more dazzling than at the beginning.

Wu Chang's brows were twisted together. No, buddy, when others make breakthroughs in the face of battle, they use the pressure to break through when the battle is most intense and when life and death are on the line, and then they win.

You've already lost everything, how can you make a breakthrough?

However, he was relieved to confirm that Huanxi's breakthrough would not keep him alive. If he continued to fight, he would have to use the Wu Quxing statue.

When Huanxi's body collapsed to his chest, he opened his eyes and looked at Wu Chang with a calm look.

"Heping, I'll leave the Omniscience Crystal with you for now. When you reach the Realm of Reason, we'll have plenty of opportunities to contact you."

Wu Chang let out a click of his tongue. If it was any other guy uttering harsh words, he would have regarded them as incompetent barking and not taken them seriously at all. However, Huan Xi's harsh words would cause him trouble.

The joy that was suppressed in the middle layer almost made him reveal all his cards. If he were placed in the rational world, facing the joy in its heyday, he would not be able to resist at all.

At least for a period of time after entering the world of reason, he had to stay away from happiness.

However, he did not lose the battle, so he responded: "You know my name, but you never tell me my name. Is that shameful?"

Huanxi smiled and said:

"Remember this, we are the Guangming Society, and we are waiting for you in the rational world."

After Huanxi finished speaking, his entire body disappeared.

Wu Chang shifted his gaze away from Huanxi and looked at Mercury and Axl. The two were very decisive and did not struggle much. They looked at each other and left the copy plane directly, leaving only two burning contracts and two withered yellow leaves on the spot.

As for Fei Guang and Qian Ye, Huanxi did not protect them during the battle like he protected Mercury and others. The two were affected by the power of chaos, and they fought to a draw, and were finally killed by the power.

With Fei Guang's death, the props that blocked the copy were released.

While the Knights of Dissension still had some time left, Wu Chang looked at Booker and the other two.

The three knew that Wu Chang would be in a weakened state after the battle with Huanxi, so they decided to clear the area to prevent anyone from having any ill intentions.

They looked at each other, then took out the copy escape props very skillfully and ended the copy ahead of time.

call.

It's finally over.

Wu Chang's tense energy dissipated, and he looked at the giant golden sword in his hand that was slowly disappearing, a trace of heartache flashing in his eyes.

The enchantment obtained by using the false miracle is powerful, but the side effects are also huge.

Wu Chang opened the attribute panel and saw that in the item attributes of the Golden Throne, the "Treasure" skill turned gray.

For a short period of time, the treasure skills of the Golden Throne will be unusable. Since the side effects of the false miracle are not specifically explained, he is not sure whether the treasure skills will be restored.

Fortunately, Schultz relied on the resonance of virtue and sin to collect enough faith, which was firm enough to reduce the side effects of false miracles to a great extent. The side effects did not affect the skills of the Golden Kingdom, so the loss was not too great.

Speaking of Schultz, Wu Chang shrank down and showed concern for his cheap cousin to see how he was doing.

He looked at Schultz who was lying on the ground and found that the hymn in black and white had completely lost its life and turned into a dead object.

Schultz is dead?
wrong.

Wu Chang was hymning the poem's brow and did not see the all-knowing crystal that would burn his eyes.

When he and Huanxi were fighting fiercely, Schultz took the opportunity to slip away. Where could he go?

Just as Wu Chang was about to search for Schultz's whereabouts, his expression suddenly became strange. He found where Schultz was.

On the 100th floor of the Anthem Building, Wu Chang, who was watching the excitement, suddenly heard a noise coming from the elevator.

He quickly put the champagne and snacks in his hands into his personal space and put the chair back in place, his movements like a primary school student who hurriedly turns off the TV when he hears his parents come home.

The elevator door opened and an extremely weak Schultz staggered in. Wu Chang hurriedly went up to him and helped him sit down.

Wu Chang said:

"Schultz, are you okay? Don't go to sleep yet. Wait for me to open the medical cabin."

Wu Chang was about to stand up when he found that his wrist was grabbed by Schultz. He looked at Schultz and found that Schultz slowly shook his head.

"It's useless, it's too late."

Wu Chang frowned. He could feel that Schultz's body was getting weaker and weaker. This weakness did not come from his injuries but from his soul. The root cause was that Huanxi forced him to break the balance between good and evil, causing him to be shocked by tens of thousands of wills.

The four-sided fire lamp could only give him a brief moment of light, but it could not save his life.

He originally thought that Schultz's black technology studio had a way to save him, but now it seems that Schultz has no way either.

Schultz said in a hurried voice: "I don't have much time left. Please listen to me first and ask questions later."

"First, do you see that operating table over there?" Schultz pointed to the innermost part of the studio.

Wu Chang nodded.

Schultz said, "This is not actually a building, but an aircraft, or a spaceship. After I die, the ownership will automatically be handed over to you. You can fly it away, and the Anthem Hunter outside will not be able to catch up with you."

"They are outsiders and cannot stay in our world for long. You only need to wait in the sky for a month and there will be no more danger."

Wu Chang was a little confused. In the previous rumors about Anthem Company, there were often conspiracy theories about aliens, saying that Anthem Company cooperated with the federal government and dismantled an alien spaceship to obtain a variety of black technologies.

He thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect Schultz to be serious.

Schultz saw that Wu Chang had misunderstood and added, "I built this spaceship myself. It has nothing to do with outsiders."

Then he pointed to his forehead and said:

"After I die, the Omniscient Crystal will fall off. I will give it to you. I believe you can use it better than I can. Our world is now connected to a higher level world. I have not completely severed this connection."

"This behavior is very dangerous, but it also contains the future of our world. I can only go this far. The rest of the way can only be left to you."

Schultz coughed twice and continued:
"All the core technologies of the Anthem Company are recorded here. When you master the Omniscience Crystal, it will help you understand this knowledge. I have said what I want to say. If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

There were so many questions he wanted to ask that Wu Chang asked them all, and he didn't know where to start.

He thought for a moment, looked at Schultz, who was gradually losing his spirit and might fall asleep at any time, and asked:
"You don't see any serious injuries, why don't you try to treat them?"

Schultz said: "My problem comes from my mind, or soul, not from my body. My mind is already full of cracks and holes. If it weren't for the omniscient crystal, I wouldn't be able to hold on and come back here."

Wu Chang asked, "Why are you so badly injured?" Schultz showed distress on his face. It's not that he didn't want to tell Wu Chang, but in his mind, Wu Chang lacked too much prior information, and he didn't have time to make up for it on the spot.

"Things are a little complicated. Once you have the All-Knowing Crystal, it will tell you exactly what happened. For now, you just need to know that I have been working on a project called Hymn, the purpose of which is to create mankind's own god."

"Today is the day the plan is implemented. I used myself as a test subject, but failed. But this failure is meaningful. I collected a lot of data. When it's your turn, it will be much easier."

Wu Chang sighed and said, "Why? You have wealth and power, and you also have world-leading technology. Health and even longevity are not a threat to you. You have reached the pinnacle of humanity. Do you have to be the so-called God of Humanity?"

Schultz looked up at the starry sky, his face full of worry. "Because I have seen the future, the future of mankind. I cannot see any hope in that future. Only by becoming a god can I escape from that hopeless future."

He turned to look at Wu Chang, looked into Wu Chang's eyes, and said, "You will understand later. I didn't see hope in the future before, and I thought I had to be the only hope, but now, I see the light in the future, and the light is you."

Wu Chang pointed at himself and asked doubtfully, "Me?"

If the light Schultz was talking about was the true self in the square that was over a kilometer in size and had just defeated Joy, he could still understand it.

But seeing that the person Schultz was facing now was Sean, who was just waiting to die a few days ago, Wu Chang couldn't understand it.

Schultz's eyes were full of expectation, and he said:
"Your potential is far beyond your imagination. The reason why the power you gained after the psychic energy stimulation surgery is far greater than that of others is because your talent area is very complex and requires a level nine transformation surgery to fully activate it."

"God has given you the most precious talent, nothing else. Now you have unlimited possibilities."

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "To be honest, my ability can only condense some phantoms. Their combat power is similar to that of ordinary disqualified monsters. It is completely incomparable to the battle you just had."

"Besides that, my brain hasn't become any smarter after being modified. It's far from your level. I don't even believe in myself, so how can you believe in me?"

Schultz nodded.

Wu Chang asked curiously, "Why?"

Schultz said with a half-smile, "I don't know."

Wu Chang: "I don't know if you still believe it."

Schultz just smiled and said nothing.

He took off the badge representing the chairman of the Shengong Company from his chest, stuffed it into Wu Chang's hand, and said:

"If you can't accomplish it, then just do your best, but remember that the fate of mankind can only be controlled by mankind itself."

After Schultz finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, and the double-cone shaped omniscient crystal fell off from between his eyebrows. The light on the surface of the crystal converged, as if it had turned into an ordinary plastic product.

The Omniscient Crystal, which had lost its luster, no longer burned Wu Chang's eyes. He picked up the Omniscient Crystal and looked at the attribute panel.

"Item Name: Omniscient Crystal"

"Item type: unknown"

"Item level: unknown"

"Effect of item: unknown"

「Remarks: None」

This was the first time Wu Chang encountered this situation. In the past, when the skills of props were limited and could not display specific information, the system would display three question marks, telling Wu Chang that there was content here, but he could not view it for the time being.

Now, it has become unknown.

It is worthy of being something that even the happy body processing industry is trying to snatch across borders, it is indeed unique.

He put the All-Knowing Crystal into his pocket and looked at Schultz who was forever in deep sleep.

A streak of resentment that was red to purple appeared on Schultz's body.

This is Schultz's own grudge.

Schultz's resentment was like a crystal. As Wu Chang looked at it, images appeared in the crystal, attracting his attention.

Wu Chang's eyes flickered and when he came to his senses, a little boy about six or seven years old with his hair combed like an adult appeared in front of him.

Sean had seen this little boy in his memory before, and it was Schultz in his childhood.

The background of the picture is a huge country farm with no visible boundaries. It is Christmas, and the family is decorating the farm, inviting friends to a party, and preparing ingredients for a barbecue.

The little boy looked out of place in the lively background. He sat alone on the roof, holding a math book.

The book came from his cousin, a sophomore at an Ivy League university. The pages were very clean, without a single word on them, and there were not even many signs of having been opened.

He hid here to read because if his family found him, he wouldn't be able to read for even a minute.

The Brown family, to which Schultz belongs, started out as a farm. Their ancestors were real cowboys. When the older generation boasted about the glorious days of the past, they even mentioned how many bandits they had killed.

The love for guns made the Brown family want to make a gun of their own, so they took this opportunity to open the Anthem Company. However, due to the lack of core technology, it was not well-known in the arms industry.

The arms company has a mediocre reputation, but the Brown family's farm is one of the largest in the state, covering an area of ​​more than 750,000 acres. Even without the arms company, it is still one of the largest families in the state.

It’s just that as children of cowboy families, parents hope that their children can inherit their cowboy bloodline. Their children should sit on horseback instead of sitting in cram schools; they should become captains of the school football or basketball team instead of being nerds who rank first in every exam.

If Schultz went down, he would definitely experience American bullying and be surrounded by other children in the family and called a nerd.

He didn't care about the looks of those people, but he hated stupidity and would vomit physically.

Every time they saw him vomit, those idiots thought their prank had worked, and then they would come even more aggressively to get closer, thus creating a vicious cycle.

Schultz rubbed his brows and felt troubled just thinking about it.

Not long after, another little toddler climbed onto the roof and staggered toward Schultz.

"Schultz, they asked you to go down."

Schultz panicked. He quickly supported the child who almost fell off the roof and asked anxiously, "Sean, how did you get up here? Why don't they think highly of you?"

Sean burped, exhaling a fermented wheat breath with an alcoholic smell. "They were drinking, and I sneaked out."

Schultz was helpless, so he had to stop studying and go down from the roof carrying Sean.

Sean is one of the few people of the Brown family his age who doesn't make him want to vomit when he's around.

Sean is not a smart person in the traditional sense, his IQ is above average, but he has a strong ability to understand, and Sean doesn't cling to other people; instead, he spends a lot of time with him.

Just as Schultz guessed, as soon as he appeared, he quickly became the focus of the scene.

A group of kids who were so old that they were hated by everyone followed him and called him a nerd, competing to see who could make him vomit first. In the end, it was Sean who rescued him.

When Sean, his face drunk, holding a beer in one hand and a revolver he picked up from somewhere in the other, stood staggering beside Schultz, the world suddenly became quiet.

Not to mention the children, even the adults were so scared that they ran out of the room.

The farm was in chaos for a while.

Sean, holding the revolver, turned his head, looked at the book in Schultz's hand, and said with a smile:

"Schultz, you see, grandpa is right. This thing is much more useful than a book!"

The brief chaos soon ended and it was evening.

As old Federals, the Brown family are devout believers, devout to the point of fanaticism.

On Christmas Eve, the Brown family would invite a priest to lead everyone in prayer and sing hymns.

Schultz did not attend. He was hiding in the study reading a book. Sean sat next to him and also looked at the book, but his eyelids were drooping and he felt drowsy.

With a bang, the study door was kicked open and Schultz's parents rushed in.

When it was the juniors' turn to sing the hymn, only Schultz was not there. They were angry and ashamed of Schultz's neglect of God.

Not only did they scold Schultz in public, they also snatched the book from Schultz's hands and tore it into pieces.

Faced with his father's anger and looking at the broken books on the ground, Schultz also got angry and said what he often said to Sean behind his back.

"You should respect knowledge and wisdom more than something that doesn't exist."

What awaited Schultz was naturally a mixed doubles match between men and women.

Half an hour later, Schultz lay on the bed, rubbing his red buttocks while flipping through the university physics textbook he had hidden in advance, which also came from his cousin.

He helps his cousin with his homework, and his cousin helps him with teaching materials. The two are old partners.

Next to Schultz, Sean licked the wine in his glass and gave him advice: "If you had found a revolver like I did, you wouldn't have been beaten so hard just now."

Schultz rolled his eyes and said viciously, "Sean, one day, I will prove to everyone that it is human beings themselves, not some other existence, that are truly great."

Sean clapped excitedly on the side.

Schultz asked, "Do you believe me?"

Sean: “Believe it.”

Schultz: “Why?”

Sean blinked, hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know."

Schultz lay down on the bed in frustration, "I don't know if you still believe it."

Sean said as a matter of course: "Because you are Schultz, I want to believe it."

Schultz scratched his head and said, "Oh no, I have to do this to maintain my image in your heart."

Sean clapped again.

In this way, as time passed, when Schultz was fifteen years old, he became a famous genius in the whole state due to his leading performance and was admitted to UMass Institute of Technology in advance.

The night before he left Brown's farm, something happened.
