I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 662 - 147: The Surging Currents in Nine-State After the War
Before, Xian had repeated the topic several times: I want to read a book.
The answer had always been in the topic.
As long as he finishes reading the book, it's fine...
If we consider him as a living person, it seems absurd, going through all the troubles, destroying the Nine-State, traveling over hills and rivers...
But as a ghost, following the cycle logic of his previous life, wanting to read a book, it doesn't seem particularly odd.
And perhaps Xin Xichen did not think of this? He had thought of it long ago, but he didn't want to hand his fate over to others.
He had other perfect answers, so why try this option?
Who would dare to gamble whether there's a conspiracy?
They could only attack the opponent's mind, could only grasp the initiative in their own hands.
"Turn off the projection," Xin Xichen suddenly spoke.
Crack!!
The entire atmospheric projection from high above, the picture disappeared.
The battlefield image seen by the taverns, tea houses, and major forces across the Nine-State and Four Seas instantly vanished.
"Gone!!?"
"That last scene..."
"This is too outrageous!"
"Is this battle just over? Why not continue the projection!"
"We, the people of Nine-State, have the right to know the truth!!"
"Yes, the Court is trying to hide something!"
"Parade through the streets! We have the right to know the truth!"
Some scholars shouted.
The younger generation of the Human Race, having their fill, some troublemakers evidently had nothing better to do.
The Sea Race never paraded through the streets because if they hit the streets, they'd be beaten to death.
However, seeing the last scene of the East Sea shattering put some people into a panic, and they eagerly discussed, wanting to explore the victory process and final result of this battle.
Another part of the people fell into complete madness, incredibly anxious because the victory of this battle wasn't achieved by their strength but was "granted".
Self-imposed seal.
Does this mean Xian could reappear at any time?
Those scenes shattered their worldview and values completely, igniting a massive nameless anger within, which was fury and later regret for their own weakness, and fear of sudden death.
At the center of the battlefield.
"Just to read a book..."
At this moment, a Phoenix showed a confused expression, "To read a book, oh, it was to read a book..."
Reflecting on the stunning battle just now, this reason gave them an extremely unreal feeling.
They felt as if they were a joke.
Beside him, the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor quickly recovered, showing a furious expression, "Ghosts are like that! Messy, capricious... Following the logic of life before death and having inexplicable killing conditions."
"Merely to read a book..."
In an instant, even someone as proud as he couldn't utter a word, murmuring incredulously, "So, we were defeated by someone so desireless??"
"He didn't resist from the start and was preparing to commit suicide," someone added.
They recalled that behemoth, which incited world-ending panic among mortals, was just for seeking a book...
Like a human going to a library to read, would they care about a few ants trying to block them?
They would just crush them underfoot.
An impotent thought floated in their minds:
—Destroying you, what does it matter to me?
Is this the might and fearlessness displayed by an ancient most forbidden existence?
Clearly, it is just a dead person, a shell of logic...
"Reinforce the seal," the White Tiger Race snorted, "I don't want to stay here anymore; let this farce end."
Even though they had already won, they weren't happy at all; instead, they were very angry.
Because the Human Race shone brightly, the Dragon Race showed unparalleled might, the Black Tortoise had extremely strong defense, and what about them?
The Phoenix couldn't unleash its full potential, and now unleashing full power made them look like clowns.
At this moment, a pressing thought erupted in the heart of the White Tiger Race: Immortal Spirit Root, Immortal Path—they really should accelerate their pace.
...
...
The war ended in such a unique way, unexpected by everyone.
Amidst the continuous discussions of Xin Xichen and others.
In the center of the war ruins.
In a giant egg with mysterious patterns.
"Truly sorry, it feels like those guys outside fought to the death, and welcoming such an ending makes my Tao Heart almost collapse..."
Even so, Ning Zheng was incredibly calm.
Why fight?
They couldn't win anymore.
If Ning Zheng continued, it wouldn't end well.
He resolutely chose to "shut in" at the most perfect state, retreating to study Xian's body.
After all.
He defeated the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor with just a few moves, of course, he could keep winning and sweeping the world...
But then what after winning?
If he were invincible in the world, continuously absorbing the Embers scattered all around, expanding his body? Turning into a giant monster with tens of thousands of limbs and torso stitched together?
His mind would be overwhelmed again!
Others have helped him to this extent, already showing inside and outside cooperation skills, he couldn't let down Xin Xichen and the two powerful Nine-headed Dragon Emperor!
If he kept squandering and allowed his body to keep growing, wouldn't he be foolish?
Despite controlling such terrifying power, Ning Zheng didn't become arrogant or complacent, going around suppressing those powerhouses in Nine-State.
Because this power was not his own.
Xian's body was only temporarily controlled, possessed.
Ning Zheng could not even control Xian's body instinct... Becoming arrogant, defeating the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor and then continuing to attack them, that was foolish behavior.
It's crucial for one to have self-awareness.
Whoosh!
Ning Zheng's eyes were tightly closed.
Controlling the entire super-evolved perfect body, as exquisite as white jade, sitting cross-legged in a circle, feeling the boundless darkness around.
"Unbelievable... this terrifying body, I'm already somewhat overly powerful now."
"If it continues to develop, perhaps the entire world would be destroyed by me."
"Even after death, there remains incredible mysterious power, truly worthy of being the original ghost, the original pseudo-human..."
"Something still feels slightly off, even though my mind suppressed Xian's body... his body is still gradually consuming my mind."
It's like a phone with a battery, and the battery is still draining slowly.
He estimated a timeframe, and if nothing changes.
About six months later, his mind would be drained, and Xian's mind would be empty again, reverting to the previous state.
But, this amount of time was enough.
Enough for Ning Zheng to research Xian's body and form a cycle between brain and body.
If Ning Zheng couldn't do it himself, he could accumulate Qi Fortune to do it.
As long as there is enough Qi Fortune, nothing is impossible.
"If I completely controlled Xian... even if he were just a dead person, a shell... it would absolutely be the greatest opportunity in history, enough for me, a humble One Heart Realm Sect Leader, to utterly possess the power to roam the world."
Ning Zheng secretly calculated.
