Cheng Mo and Xia He exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

The two of them looked at Xia Liuqing at the same time.

Xia Liuqing's eyes flickered: "I didn't expect this either."

Cheng Mo was somewhat incredulous: "No way, this divine weapon can really summon a true god?"

He turned to look at Xu Si: "Who was that person who came down?"

Xu Si took the cigarette out of his mouth and flicked off the ash: "Zhuge Liang."

Cheng Mo: "..."

He paused for two seconds before asking, "Does the Zhuge family know?"

Xu Si shook his head: "Of course we can't reveal this kind of thing to them."

Cheng Mo noticed a blind spot and frowned, asking again, "Wait a minute, how can you be sure that's Zhuge Liang? Could he have mastered the Samadhi Fire?"

Xu Si nodded and sighed.

Cheng Mo thought of something—there were quite a few people in the lab before the experiment started.

After the white light flashed in the video, the scene was completely empty; everyone was gone.

Cheng Mo's voice deepened: "So, the white light before was caused by the Samadhi True Fire going out of control? It burned everyone to ashes?"

Xu Si sighed again and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray: "Master Cheng is indeed perceptive."

Cheng Mo stared at him: "Don't tell me you're still keeping this kind of unstable factor around."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xu Si's face: "We contacted the board of directors immediately after the incident. Their message was—since we weren't killed, it means the first loss of control was an accident."

He paused, then added, "The board also said that Zhuge Liang is a righteous figure in history, mythology, and folklore. Since we have this opportunity, we should naturally have a proper exchange; we can't just hand him over directly." .

Cheng Mo looked up at the ceiling.

Really satisfied.

If it can get out of control once, it can get out of control countless times.

Why wait until this place is completely razed to the ground before settling accounts?

"I have no right to interfere with your company's decisions," Cheng Mo waved his hand. "But if you didn't call me here to fight, why did you ask me to come along?"

This is a question that Xia Liuqing should answer.

Xia Liuqing rubbed his hands together and leaned closer: "Cheng boy, stop thinking about fighting. This kind of thing is worth studying. I've already talked to that Zhuge Liang."

He counted on his fingers: "His biggest concerns were the succession of the Shu Han dynasty and the descendants of the Liu family. Moreover, he had an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of the Three Kingdoms period, which is invaluable for historical research—"

"Stop rambling on, old man," Cheng Mo interrupted him. "What does historical research have to do with you? Absolutely nothing."

Xia Liuqing wiped his bald head and chuckled.

Cheng Mo stared at him: "You just want the company's research results on divine weapons, right? I think the researcher's own strength is probably quite average."

He looked at Xu Si.

Xu Si nodded: "I'm not considered outstanding in the company."

Cheng Mo looked back at Xia Liuqing: "You want to use this thing to return to your peak, don't you?"

Xia Liuqing shook her head, her expression unusually serious: "It's not as simple as returning to the peak. It contains the most crucial secret of divinity—tell me, is the act of a god a human acting as a god, or a god acting as a human?"

He paused, his tone somewhat enigmatic: "If wearing divine armor could transform one into the god represented by faith, wouldn't our lineage of entertainers become a joke?"

Cheng Mo actually remembered a joke.

Trinity Gate.

That thing was once a major sect, and its last sect leader was said to be the closest to the third level of the Reverse Life Triple Realm.

And what happened? He was defeated by Wugensheng with just a few words, and he was completely destroyed.

Perhaps this divine weapon is Wugensheng, a descendant of the court jesters.

Cheng Mo was lost in thought and didn't say anything, so Xia He took over the conversation: "Grandpa Xia, and Third Brother and Fourth Brother, there's something I don't understand."

Xia Liuqing waved her hand: "Little Hemiao, just say what you want to say."

Xu San and Xu Si also nodded to her in a friendly manner.

Xia He carefully considered her words: "Since this Zhuge Liang is no longer killing indiscriminately, why don't you just study things with him directly?"

Just as Xia Liuqing was about to speak, Xia He continued, "I don't think that Marquis Wu is that cooperative. After all, in legends, he is the true mastermind who plans and controls everything. The company probably won't gain any advantage in its struggle against him."

Xia Liuqing suddenly realized what was happening and turned to look at Xu Si: "Is that so?"

Xu Si laughed and slapped his thigh: "I thought Master Cheng was already at the top, but I didn't expect Miss Xia to be so amazing as well. No wonder Bao Bao is on good terms with you."

Xia He turned to look at Cheng Mo, who, like the golden retriever, was lost in thought. She shook her head and looked at Xia Liuqing: "When Grandpa Xia met that Zhuge Liang, did he simply sit quietly in his room?"

Xia Liuqing nodded: "He seems to have just entered the inner realm."

Xia He shook her head and looked at Xu Si: "If I'm not mistaken, that experimenter wearing the divine armor is probably not in a good mental state."

Xu Si and Xu San exchanged a glance. The previous words had been somewhat flattering, but this time they were genuinely surprised.

Aside from the members of the experimental team who handled it, only the two of them knew about this; Xia Liuqing and Wang Zhenqiu were unaware of it. Unexpectedly, this girl discovered the clues from just a few words between them.

Xu Si didn't hide anything: "Indeed, that person's room has the most complete set of medical monitoring equipment. His physical condition is okay, but his mental fluctuations are getting weaker and weaker."

Xia Liuqing was startled.

The art of performing arts is based on the primordial spirit and the conscious spirit. The primordial spirit is the three souls, belonging to the soul, which is what is commonly referred to as the spirit; while the conscious spirit is the seven spirits, belonging to consciousness, which is the body.

The first stage of the Changyou Dharma Gate is the performance of the spirit, which is to perform the spirit using the primordial spirit and the conscious spirit.

The second stage involves stealing people's faith in God to invoke God's power, which requires the power of faith.

The third stage is similar to the current divine weaponry, where one completely becomes a god.

Now, only the person's primordial spirit is being consumed, while his body remains unharmed—meaning that the divine weapon is driven by the user's primordial spirit, which is somewhat different from the chanting and playing method, but he has somehow reached the third stage...

Xia Liuqing frowned and asked, "Haven't you tried replenishing your faith power?"

"Of course there are," Xu Si shrugged, "but they're completely useless."

Xu San kicked him: "Can't you be a little more civilized!"

He continued, "According to that person, he sensed that his condition was unstable, but he couldn't leave. Even after removing the divine armor, he was still the same person, and his body would rapidly weaken after removing the divine armor."

Xia Liuqing pondered, "If that's the case, perhaps I can help him remove Zhuge Liang's divine status and let him return to his original state."

Xu Si's eyes lit up: "Oh? Why didn't you mention this before, Master Xia?"

Cheng Mo seemed to have finished daydreaming and patted Xu Si on the shoulder: "The old man was scared by you guys, he hasn't come back to his senses yet."

He turned to Xia Liuqing and said, "Come on, old man, let's go and meet that Zhuge Liang."

Xia Liuqing rubbed her hands together, eager to go: "Let's go, let's go!"

But his eyes were fixed on Xu Si.

Xu Si laughed heartily: "Let's go, if this really works out, it will solve our big problem."

The group left the conference room and walked to the other end of the corridor.

Cheng Mo leaned closer to Xia Liuqing and lowered his voice: "Tell me, old man, what's going on? I don't see you've been sealed by the Qi-sealing needles, so why are you giving the company so much face?"

Xia Liuqing looked sullen and didn't want to talk.

Wang Zhenqiu suddenly appeared from behind and said quietly, "His weakness."

Cheng Mo and Xia He exchanged a glance and understood—this was using Granny Jin Feng as leverage.

But how exactly will it be done? Is it going to be like how Old Ma detained Granny Jin Feng in later generations?
