The crystal skull suddenly speaking had changed the facial expressions of many players of Heavenly Principle.
It was their sacred relic used to communicate with Divinity.
The Divinity they worshiped would issue commands to them through the crystal skull, or transmit strength, appearing briefly in the world.
Unexpectedly, Li Ba’s arrival had caused the crystal skull to autonomously revive.
And the words it spoke had further changed the expressions of everyone in Heavenly Principle.
My friend?
"The lord actually considers him a friend?" the mbers of Heavenly Principle said with varied expressions.
"Li Ba, as the strongest among the demigods... although it is rumored that his demigod path had been severed, he nonetheless remains a formidable force that cannot be ignored," a player spoke.
"But he is the official’s son-in-law... and has a close relationship with the Great Wall," frowned one of the Heavenly Principle’s strong players, "Could this affect our upcoming actions?"
"You can guess it, do you think the lord hasn’t planned for it?"
"Could our next actions require the cooperation of the Great Wall?"
"There is a high probability; although Li Ba is the official son-in-law, he ultimately is not an official player. He is most suitable as a bridge for communication between us."
The strong players of Heavenly Principle whispered among themselves.
In fact, the rcury Angel referring to Li Changhe as ’my friend’ was due to the rapport ford in the disaster fog.
Crying Hero and rcury Angel had once cooperated, deceiving both the robot factory and other Conference Devils during the disaster fog.
Ultimately, it was rcury Angel who destroyed the Sky Curtain node of the robot factory.
Since that ti, rcury Angel had called Crying Hero ’my friend.’ Li Changhe, as another outco of Crying Hero, was also regarded as a friend.
anwhile, Li Changhe sat on the sofa, responding with a light chuckle, "I, this disabled person, can also be considered a friend by you?"
Li Ba had severed his path to demigod to kill Bloodriders!
This was a fact that had already been spread among the players, causing countless players to lant.
The most crucial step in becoming a demigod is searching for one’s true self, integrating all of one’s authority, perfectly controlling all abilities.
Thus, demigod-level strong players are not restricted by the Evolution Ga chanism.
The simplest example is, such as Title Skill, a demigod using two or even multiple Title Skills without needing a 24-hour cooldown.
Because they had thoroughly deconstructed their strength and converted it for their own use, they no longer need to adhere to the Evolution Ga’s chanism of consuming a specific amount of energy or physical strength value.
They had shattered the rules set by the Evolution Ga, converted them into their own authority, even into a stronger authority. Therefore, at the demigod level, one truly transcends.
Yet, Li Changhe had split his demigod state into three, forces that should have been unified, forcibly dispersed.
This irreversible act made it difficult for Li Changhe to sculpt his true self.
Thus, many players also sarcastically remarked that Li Ba was truly ruined.
However, they also knew. Even if Li Ba had ruined his demigod path, it didn’t an they had beco stronger.
Even if he was ruined, he remained the strongest beneath the demigods. Even a demigod confronting him had to avoid his edge.
The King of Blood Riders, comparable to a demigod, was the best example. He was nonetheless shot against the wall by Li Ba.
"You jest," the skull of the crystal skull, placed by Qin Lingfan on a delicate cushion, spoke, "There are many paths to godhood. I have seen people attain divinity by Cutting Three Corpses, so by cultivating thousands of believers, and others by sealing their godhood through great deeds and rits. Even if the Heavenly Road is split into three, there might still be ways to achieve the seat of a demigod king. So... do you want to discuss plans to achieve demigod status with ? Our conversation might take a long ti. Due to the uniqueness of my abilities, I have traveled across multiple worlds, and this experience may be helpful to you."
This was not a lie; rcury Angel could even obtain information about the Chaos Faction. Before the mission in Great Tang opened, they had warned their allies it was best not to participate in the Great Tang mission.
The existence of rcury Angel was very unusual; they were not a creature of the physical universe but a being like the Magic Mirror, a creature within a mirror.
"Thank you, but not now," Li Changhe waved his hand in response, "My visit this ti is actually to inquire about a certain event. I think as a similar entity, you might know so secrets that we cannot discover."
"An event?" a sinister gleam flashed in the empty eye sockets of the crystal skull, "Are you talking about the anomaly in the Mirror World?"
"As a being of the mirror, do you know about humans seeing the deceased through mirrors, and the deceased wanting to leave the mirror?" Li Changhe asked.
"The mirror shattered... is it an isolated case?" the crystal skull asked.
"No, although it was not widespread, there were still dozens of people who saw it."
"If it’s not an isolated case, then we can rule out the actions of creatures within the mirror. Can we rule out illusions or hypnosis?" the crystal skull asked again, "You know, so abnormal abilities involve hypnosis, which could make you see deceased loved ones you miss."
"It couldn’t be illusions or hypnosis," Li Changhe shook his head.
Hypnosis was out of the question, with so many players present, and Cangyue Ming’s energy attribute had reached the extre value of 15 points. What abnormality could escape his perception?
His energy was fully exerted, even capable of making demigod warriors furrow their brows.
During the Dream Cruise task, the head of the Great Wall Branch had led people to capture the demigod Heart Stealer, which was made possible by several players who were divine creatures combining their high energy in a collective psychic assault. They had managed to force the demigod Heart Stealer back.
As for illusions... with Old Lead present, illusions were ineffective. Moreover, no illusion could unnoticed affect so many players.
"Were they all deceased persons?" the crystal skull continued to ask, "Did you see others?"
"I can’t be certain, but... they probably weren’t all deceased." Li Changhe responded, previously a custor had seen a young boy who looked sowhat like himself. But even with official hinting and hypnosis, he couldn’t rember ever seeing this boy. It likely wasn’t one of his deceased relatives. He truly had never seen the boy.
The crystal skull fell silent for a while, its eyes glowing brightly: "So that’s what it is, I suspect it might be the Flow of Space-Ti."
"Space-ti?"
"Exactly," the crystal skull responded, "Based on what you told , so saw their departed loved ones, others saw familiar strangers. These strangers are people they will et in the future, who will have a profound karmic connection with them. Their common point is that they don’t exist in this current space-ti, but in the past or future!"
Li Changhe’s face beneath the Azure Fla mask twitched slightly, the future and the past, and people who didn’t exist now?
"So, the so-called strangers, are they his future descendants?" Li Changhe asked, no wonder that fellow didn’t recognize him.
"Correct," the crystal skull’s voice echoed eerily, "Showing the physical world the Flow of Space-Ti... it’s rare. But... it’s still better not to make contact. You said, the people in the mirror wanted to leave the mirror."
"Right, but the mirror is shattered now."
"That’s natural, the barriers between reality and illusion are exceedingly solid. But... Evolution Ga will inevitably surprise you," the crystal skull spoke softly, "And the flow of space-ti... presents not just your friends and acquaintances, you know."
Not only Li Changhe, many of the Heavenly Principle warriors also turned pale.
"Like you, Lord Li Ba. You cut off your demigod path in order to kill the King of Blood Riders. Isn’t that karmic?" the crystal skull said, "If the person who walks out of the mirror is her..."
"Then... I’ll just have to kill her once more. I didn’t have the strength last ti; this ti, I will evenly sar her across the city wall." Li Changhe got up, "And there’s more to it, right? Karma... If in the future, I die at soone’s hands, that person will have my karma and will also appear in the mirror, right?"
"Correct... that’s truly the most terrifying part!" the crystal skull’s eyes gradually dimd, "The person who will kill you in the future will appear. Though I don’t believe you would die. But... if that were to happen... then you might need to try defying fate."
"Can this flow of space-ti be trusted?" Li Changhe asked again.
"Belief or disbelief, isn’t that the choice you should make? And haven’t you already made your choice?" the crystal skull said, "You fought against the Tianyan Association, you fought the warriors of the Book of Heaven, isn’t that because you don’t believe in the fate they talked about? Actually, to us demigods, the Book of Heaven is indeed correct for humans. But... who can prove it? Who can prove that defying the future told by the Book of Heaven is wrong? To overturn the future is to correct the present."
Li Changhe laughed, looking at the crystal skull he chuckled, "No wonder that guy is willing to cooperate with you, willing to call you a friend. I, Li Ba, take you as my friend."
"That is truly an honor," the crystal skull also chuckled, "But being able to see a version of one’s future is not bad either."
After Li Changhe picked up the scroll and left Twilight Manor.
The crystal skull imdiately said, "Qin Ling, evacuate Yanyun’s believers."
"My lord?" Qin Ling was stunned, the crystal skull had just been chatting heartily with Li Ba. Why was he suddenly asking to evacuate believers?
"The manifestation of the Flow of Space-Ti is very dangerous, who knows what might step out of the mirror?" the crystal skull replied lightly, chuckling, "Since my friend has sent the information, we should not waste this opportunity."
Qin Ling nodded, then asked in a low voice, "My lord, why are you so cordial to Li Ba? Even expending divinity to talk with him?"
"Such a person must not beco an enemy," the crystal skull said calmly, "Those short-sighted players say Li Ba is finished. But I know that, under certain circumstances, he can truly transform into an Evil God. Beco that... terrifying Evil God who roars through the void! Qin Ling, you should get closer to him. Even if he cannot beco a demigod, his talent should not be underestimated. If... if you could bear his child, a throne would certainly erge in the void, or even sothing greater..."
Qin Ling was caught off guard, nodding slightly, "I will try, my lord. But the hope is not great. He seems reckless, but he is actually quite rational. He probably won’t be chard."
"I know," the crystal skull’s voice trailed off, "Do your best... even if it doesn’t work out, maintain a good relationship with him... for the Tianyan Association, let’s cut off what needs to be cut off..."
anwhile, Wang Er, who was in the process of evacuating, mused bitterly, "What the heck, if you seduce him today, tomorrow a demigod will be at your doorstep."
After all, Chen Tianjiao was not one to easily lose his temper.
