Chapter 261 Father and Son, Always Alike
Additional plot?
Xue Xuan's outrageous guess made Zhao Si stunned, and then he fell into deep thought...
"It seems... the difficulty of this chapter is indeed too high."
The ultimate boss of the first chapter is the ultimate enhanced version of Dijiang, whose strength is between a saint and a quasi-saint.
Although the ultimate boss of the second chapter is Tiandao, because of the joint efforts of Jiao Ming Zhenling and Hongjun from another world, the No. 3 bird himself does not need to go into battle personally, so the overall difficulty is lower than that of a saint.
Based on this calculation, it doesn't make sense for the boss of the third chapter to be directly upgraded to Pangu level, right?
and so……
"Did my main storyline really go astray?"
As soon as this suspicion arose, Zhao Si shook his head again and again:
"wrong!"
Xue Xuan’s guess is not realistic!
"The purpose of each round of simulation is to help the protagonist deduce more unknown information. Xue Xuan can know all this now because he has been risking his life to obtain this information."
"There is no possibility of clearing the game without any obstacles from the beginning!"
Just because a person feels full after eating the third steamed bun doesn't mean the first two buns are useless. If Xue Xuan hadn't been solving puzzles continuously for three consecutive lifetimes, it would have been impossible for him, as a novice, to pass the level.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the riddle man in the Styx. In the early and middle stages, he was unwilling to tell the actual fact that the prehistoric world would eventually perish, so Xue Xuan would only think about establishing a peaceful and prosperous era on the old prehistoric world, and would not think about Run.
When they finally faced the Styx, it threw out a theory of "primordial anchor point". When the newbie Xue Xuan heard this, of course he believed it without a doubt, and all his subsequent plans would revolve around this theory.
Therefore, he would seek to destroy the old primitive world in order to recreate a Pangu primitive world as an "anchor point". In this way, the reunion of Pangu's true body would become a foregone conclusion!
Only when Pangu's true body reunited and held Xue Xuan back, not letting him leave, did Xue Xuan have sufficient prerequisites to prove whether his "anchor point" could anchor the eternal wilderness, and thus infer whether the theory of the Styx was problematic.
"It is unacceptable to be a wise man after the event!"
"The current plot is undoubtedly the main plot, not some side plot."
Zhao Si made a serious argument. After all, this game only looked like a game with a free plot, but in fact, it was planned in advance from beginning to end. All foreshadowing would be recycled, and it would be impossible for the protagonist to deviate from the main line.
All I can say is, believe in the nature of the game!
"The correct way to pass the level is to let Xue Xuan convince Minghe to bring the Asura family into the Eternal Primordial Wilderness. Then Xue Xuan will directly preserve it as a [High-level Anchor Point], and it will exist independently from the Pangu Primordial Wilderness from then on."
"But in order to gather the above key information, Xue Xuan has to take the step of promoting Pangu's reunion... So the Pangu plot should be a key plot that is stuck before passing the level. Only after completing this step can we enter the Eternal Primordial Desolation and usher in the perfect ending."
"And since the game leads the plot to Pangu, it means that Pangu's affairs will definitely produce information or props needed for subsequent plots, or even the next chapter..."
"As for saying that the boss is much more difficult than the previous two chapters... this is indeed unreasonable, but if Pangu is not the ultimate boss, or Pangu does not need to be defeated by Xue Xuan himself, then it makes sense!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Si directly used the second active intervention power in this game:
"Active instructions! Tell him not to waver in his determination. He has not gone astray. This is the reasonable main plot!"
"Don't be afraid of any difficulties you encounter, I'll take care of everything!"
[Ding! Active command has been issued, remaining number of commands: (one)! ]
……
[Just when you were doubting your life because of this outrageous guess, the command from the Supreme Being made you startled.]
[“This is the right path…”]
[You mutter to yourself, the scattered light in your eyes gradually solidifies again! ]
[You never doubt your "other self". No matter how unconfident you are, you must believe in Him and should believe in Him.]
[“All is in Him…”]
【Your heart is inexplicably touched. 】
[He may not be you, but you must be Him. If you choose to believe in Him, you are believing in yourself! ]
[“I didn’t take the wrong path!”]
[Your sudden recovery made Jin Bing a little confused, but he immediately understood what you had just experienced...]
[“So, what’s next?”]
[Jin Bing asked you curiously, after all, you are the protagonist, and everyone has been following you. Now even Pangu has grabbed you and won't let you go, which obviously proves your value.]
【“One word, wait!”】
[You regain your composure and say calmly: Pangu is unwilling to let me go, which shows that I am important, so He will not hurt me.]
[“Rather than worrying that He might hurt me, I would rather believe that He has something to ask of me…”]
[This conjecture is ridiculous and arrogant. After all, how could the God of Creation ask for help from a rookie Golden Immortal? ]
[But if He saved you because He discovered your identity as the protagonist, then this is understandable...]
[“Since I am an anchor point higher than Pangu, it means that when I enter the Eternal World, the Eternal World will exist independently... and correspondingly, Pangu will be useless because it is no longer an anchor point, so... it will really perish and can never be resurrected again!”]
[Your mind starts to become active, and you deduce a series of possibilities.]
[“Pangu’s true body has no intelligence. He only has the instinct to survive. So the reason why He kept me here… is because He instinctively wants to live!”]
[So, if you leave, He will not be able to survive? ]
[This simple deduction logic makes you feel very strange: the giant god of creation cannot live without you...]
[But think about it the other way around: According to the above branch, Pangu was originally impossible to be resurrected, but this time He actually survived, so what was the reason? ]
[Obviously it's because you and the Primordial Fragment are here! ]
[He was born because of you, and he should die because of you. Now he doesn’t want to die, so he instinctively chooses not to let you go… That means, as long as you don’t leave, he won’t die! ] [On the contrary, once you walk out of his body, he will die! ]
【Logic makes sense! 】
[Thinking of this, although you still don’t understand the specific principles, the panic caused by being trapped has dissipated. ]
[Pangu will not harm you, you are safe. ]
[So you just need to wait, wait for a suitable opportunity, then save Him, and take Him to the "Eternal Wilderness" to complete the level! ]
[And you believe that this time will not be too long...]
……
Heaven and earth.
After bidding farewell to the last two saints from other worlds, Daozu sighed and said nothing more. He just thought that he must lock the space of heaven and earth tightly in the future and never let the saints from other worlds cross over again.
Whether good or evil!
After experiencing the touch of Taoism just now, Minghe became a little silent. The socially anxious old otaku who was originally taciturn became even more introverted...
"Master..."
Minghe suddenly asked:
“Am I not qualified to be a saint?”
Daozu looked at him seriously:
"You think you're unworthy?"
Styx nodded silently.
Although he eventually won the championship of the "Honghuang Chicken Eating Competition", obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and became the last saint, he never had much confidence.
He felt that he was just lucky because he was not among the best people. The six best graduates of "Purple Sky Palace University" had already become saints!
Below the Six Saints, all those who listen to the teachings of Zixiao are actually not qualified to become saints. The selection of the Six Saints by the Taoist Ancestor was not a secret operation, but an open and aboveboard selection of the best.
Everyone has no chance to become a saint, it's not because the Taoist is partial, but because of their low quality...
Under such circumstances, even if Minghe was one of the most powerful people below the Six Saints, and even became a saint in the end, he still felt that he was one level lower than the Six Saints and that he was not worthy of his position.
Now that the words of the saint from outside the domain touched his heart, the immoral things he had done in the Asura tribe also came to his mind, and he doubted himself more and more...
Daozu saw the problem with the mentality of this little disciple at a glance, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
The reason why he was not chosen to become a saint together with the Six Saints was because of this reason. This kid’s mentality is really not good!
"Do you know why I chose you?"
Daozu asked.
Minghe said silently:
"It was just my luck..."
"lucky?"
Daozu's eyes became stern:
"Are you trying to say that I was irresponsible in choosing the saint? Are you questioning my judgment?"
Minghe was stunned. Even though he was a saint, he couldn't help but panic when he heard his master's words in person. He bowed his head repeatedly:
"Disciple dare not! Disciple..."
"Lift your head!"
Daozu scolded:
"You are a saint! I am also a saint! You should look me in the eye when you speak to me!"
After being scolded, Minghe finally lowered his head, but his expression was still embarrassed.
Daozu sighed helplessly:
"Listen, I chose you to become a saint, and let you carry all the sentient beings in the prehistoric world and continue to move forward in a direction with no way forward. It's not because I'm stupid, nor is it because I'm reckless, but because I know you can and dare to carry it!"
“I cannot make anyone holy. All I can do is give those who are capable of becoming holy a chance. Whether or not you can become holy depends entirely on yourself.”
"The six saints were able to become saints because they were only missing one ray of primordial purple energy."
"But if one cannot become a saint, what good will it do even if he has billions of purple energy?"
Daozu said frankly:
"Back then, from saints to immortals, no one wanted to waste time on this mess. I have looked all over the prehistoric world, and you are the only quasi-saint who is unwilling to leave. If you don't become a saint, who will?"
"Besides, I only gave you a ray of purple energy. You became a saint by yourself. You don't need to belittle yourself because you have proved yourself!"
"Not only have you become a saint on your own, but you have also used means and mentality that ordinary people cannot achieve to seal the Heavenly Dao with your body for countless years, and have allowed the prehistoric world to continue to this day. Who else can do this?"
"Except for being sorry to the Asura clan, you are worthy of everyone... You deserve the position of a saint!"
Worthy of it!
Minghe closed his eyes silently...
When he opened his eyes again, all the confusion and doubts were gone:
He is still the Saint of the Styx!
Seeing this, Daozu smiled and stroked his beard:
Saints can do what ordinary people cannot do. Therefore, there is no need to doubt the nature of saints. All they want is a confirmation...
However, the Asuras are still his weakness. These creatures created by him personally were brutally killed by the Creator. Even if the Styx has ten thousand reasons and ten thousand times the Tao heart, it cannot ignore them.
Now that the other Asuras have been saved, all the karmic debts are concentrated on the only trapped Asura.
Father and son, gratitude and debt, there will always be a conclusion...
