I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 410 - 204: Version 0.9 Update Log
Ning Zheng was clear-minded.
Life and death indeed had no meaning anymore.
No one would disturb him, just as Ning Zheng thought.
Schrödinger’s cat.
You need to observe it to determine its life or death.
But you simply can’t observe it.
If it is still alive, that’s good.
If it has already become a ghost, opening the tomb and interacting with the tomb’s owner would cause major issues.
So regardless of life and death, the moment he steps into the tomb, you can only assume he is completely dead!
Ning Zheng slightly furrowed his brow, raising a long-buried question in his heart:
"If it is so terrifying, becoming the most feared and potentially world-ending mythological Great Calamity in human history, why not completely seek death?"
The higher tier of ghost, the lower the chance of producing Embers.
If the Saint does not choose to become Embers, then dying naturally without even generating Embers should be the correct choice.
"Because that Saint cannot die," Xinyi Yun answered with a smile, "He will be the last trump card for the Human Race."
Xinyi Yun did not hide.
He said, in fact, the Saint Jiu Shui had considered making an unprecedented decision:
To completely seek death.
No use of any Treasure to increase the chance of Embers, instead using some Treasure to reduce the occurrence of Embers after death.
Precisely because he knew how terrifying he was, he wanted to choose complete soul obliteration!
He intended to become the first Saint in human history’s Imperial Mausoleum to not seek the appearance of Embers, but instead to die completely.
"But, he ultimately chose to try to become Embers."
Xinyi Yun sighed and said, "Because he knew there would be a worst-case scenario in the future, where someone would need to dig out the Great Calamity from his tomb to save the world."
Ning Zheng asked, "What scenario?"
"In this world, only two people can suppress the Chronicles of Time, the Saint Jiu Shui through brute force, and the Saint of Xin Dynasty through Core."
"Saint Jiu Shui feared that after his complete death, if the Saint of Xin Dynasty encountered an accident, took the Core and left, or the Core shattered... people of this era would not be able to obtain the Core and could not suppress the world again."
"For various reasons, the entire Chronicles of Time collapsed, unleashing all the greatest historical taboos, resulting in the true apocalypse."
"To guard against this situation, Saint Jiu Shui must become Embers, live deep in the Imperial Mausoleum, and be summoned in the event of historical collapse to suppress the ancient Saints of the exterior rebellion in the Chronicles of Time."
"Even though at that time, he himself would be a Great Calamity, suppressing the Saints while potentially endangering the entire Nine-State... but one Great Calamity is still better than numerous Great Calamities of ancient Saints appearing." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Ning Zheng pondered silently.
Saint Jiu Shui is the last rescue button for the Human Race.
As a Ghost Saint, bringing disaster to the world, yet the living still have a chance to survive.
If ancient Ghost Saints emerged from the Chronicles of Time to ravage the world, with too many of them, it is estimated that none would ultimately survive.
There aren’t many forces capable of resisting, and even if there were, they would only be able to hide in the mountains, barely hanging on, escaping in the rescue Ark.
Better for Saint Jiu Shui to come out and suppress them.
But this way, this strongest hero in human history, would, after death, bring calamity to the world, bearing an unprecedented stigma.
Xinyi Yun revealed a pure and gentle smile, "Bearing the stigma and using his posthumous self to shine his last light and heat."
"This is the highest tower in human history."
"Alive, he was always trying to settle chaotic times, but tens of thousands of years was too short... human effort cannot beat short-lived lifespan, unable to clear historical Ancient Tombs, even before dying, left behind various arrangements, trying to pay all costs to salvage his created Sheng Shi and peace."
Ning Zheng’s expression suddenly became somewhat heavy.
To this day, he still does not know the name, identity, background of this Saint, nor does nearly anyone in the Nine-State, as this information is strictly confidential, as it would be targeted if known.
But undeniably, this person’s whole life was spent working for the world’s people, wishing to eradicate all ancient tombs.
To that level.
The power-crazed emperors seeking immortality were not few, but he chose to suppress the Chronicles of Time, shortening his life to the extreme, even choosing suicide.
Because he knew death was the best result, otherwise the successors would find it hard to overthrow his new barriers of Historical Tomb Clusters.
He was too strong!
Yet the situation forced him to become an old tomb, continuing to be an unyielding mountain for future generations.
This is the sorrow of ancient Saints.
Ancient Saints controlled the entire Nine-State, each attempting unprecedented accomplishments, ambitious, trying to sweep all ancient tombs.
But upon their death, they only further enlarged the group of ancient tombs, accumulating repeatedly, becoming harder to sweep, leaving greater problems for successors!
This is truly the heroic dragon slaying while alive, and transforming into an Evil Dragon after death.
Even these Saints themselves felt endless despair.
And in the future, perhaps only a being stronger than Saint Jiu Shui could defeat him and thoroughly clean all tombs.
"I’ve told you the inside story, we received hints from that person, so we assist the Saint of Xin Dynasty, we also integrate into Xin Dynasty with an identity." Xinyi Yun softly said, "Do you believe?"
"I mostly believe." Ning Zheng exhaled a breath.
Ning Zheng would not become a hero like the Saints, as he does not possess such sentiments, he cannot do it.
But he holds a lofty respect for martyrs who gave everything for the world’s people.
It is precisely the presence of such existences like Saint Jiu Shui, willing to stand out themselves, that humanity has hope.
After all, who does not hope that in moments of despair and pain, a hand would stretch out to pull them up? Only those filled with brilliant dignity and God-like qualities have such charisma, attracting so many to follow them in founding Dynasties.
"Certain things must be compromised to have a future."
Xinyi Yun softly said, "Support this Saint of Xin Dynasty, and secretly retrieve his Divine Artifact Core is the best transitional strategy."
"So, please lend us strength in this endeavor, firstly to fend off assassins attacking the Saint, as descendants of the Royal Family, we have a high chance of acquiring the Core... of course, those assassins also intend to get the Core through violence."
"Our goals align, but the means of obtaining the Core will make us adversaries."
Ning Zheng calmly pondered, asking, "Can that last Saint of the Innate Era truly resist all cultivators across the Nine-State in the Postnatal Era?"
"He has no choice, he must regain authority."
"And we also have no choice, can only bet on him."
Xinyi Yun chuckled, "But, his combat power is strong enough, the only concern is unknown new aces hiding in the shadows."
The Saint of Xin Dynasty is the pinnacle accumulated by the old era, representing the utmost gauge of innate humanity.
Combat power is strong enough.
However, still lacking some novel offensive, defensive weapons.
Ning Zheng suddenly had clarity:
"Sir, you’ve got an eye on my Divine Weapon, right? We can take this deal, but you’ll need to persuade others in the team, or find alternative members."
Xinyi Yun replied with a smile, "The current Saint is the Saint of Xin Dynasty, accepting his commission doesn’t make you a traitor, in fact, it’s legitimate!"
...
Ning Zheng sighed slightly, closed the communication, sitting in the room, contemplating the principles of Future Manor’s development.
"Big troubles ahead." He pondered internally.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
Jiucai Rong energetically carried a notice board and placed it in front of the square.
"Brothers, you all saw the recent cutscene, right?"
"So cool, it’s an updated version now!"
Jiucai Rong was full of joy.
