Chapter 497 Breakup and competition

Jiang Yu's movements were not concealed.

Jiang Yu didn't hide his gaze.

He looked directly at her, his palm resting on his hammer.

However, as he expected, the first thing Zhan Lan did was to look around.

"I found no hostile creatures. This underworld is safe. Jiang Yu, what did you find?" She naturally entered a state of battle preparation, and her spiritual network was mounted without any defense, just like when she was fighting side by side before. Exactly the same.

Jiang Yu took a breath silently.

His perception passed through the surroundings, and there was an obvious sense of foreignness in both Cheng Xiao and Zhu Wen. Although Ling Dian and Mou Gang, who were obviously resurrected by Zhu Wen, were slightly uneasy, they looked completely out of control.

There is nothing unusual about them.

The biggest characteristic of them is that compared to Zhan Lan and others, even if their power has improved compared to before the separation, they are still too weak.

——Have you redeemed it for S-level enhancement...Why do you still have such a setting?

——Is it because I came into contact with those deeper secrets, which triggered a chain reaction? Or... other reasons?

There is one person who is not abnormal.

There is one person whose presence has always remained small.

He should know something, but for some reason he said nothing.

...As long as there is a reason.

"There are some situations." Jiang Yu removed his hand from the war hammer, and his reason told him that it was best not to let Xia show up now. It is better not to talk about some key topics. "Keep calm, let me understand the situation first."

"...Yeah." Zhan Lan's strange feeling increased a little more, but she agreed meekly. Just stood there. The pale gold 'Heavenly Rules' extended outward from Jiang Yu's feet, covering an area of ​​tens of meters that was the conversation point, and only then did his heart relax slightly.

"Zhang Jie, can you explain it to me?"

A wry smile appeared on Zhang Jie's lips. "Convenience is always convenient...but are you sure?"

"Here, right now?"—his tone sounded like an ominous omen.

"If you have a way to send us back directly to the Lord God's ball of light, then it would be okay to change the situation. But now, I think it's just right here."

The corners of Cheng Xiao's mouth twitched, but he remained silent.

Zhan Lan's fingers subconsciously slid towards his storage items, and then, a storage bag fell silently to the ground.

Jiang Yu: “…………”

The ominous omens are increasing.

"I prepared the Ankh of Rebirth for you and everyone." Zhan Lan's eyes slowly turned to him, and her eyes were silently filled with white light. "I should have given them to you now, or at least brought them with me, shouldn't I? But why..."

Her face was slightly twisted, as if she was about to cry. But it turned into indifference at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his expression and emotions were rapidly fading away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhu Wen took a step towards her gently. The newly born Lord of Destiny has a snake-like rotating crest emerging behind him. It was a ouroboros with twelve links, and the snake's body was faintly glowing with silver.

Silver snake.

It obviously does not belong to the same category as the one in the death world, but there must be some connection - Zhu Wen's body is changing rapidly in Jiang Yu's perception, as if something is about to get out from under her skin. came out, and was tightly suppressed under the body by 'Tiangui'.

She opened her mouth but said nothing. There was silver light floating deep in the eyes, but it was intertwined with white light that was similar to Zhan Lan's power.

Maybe Zhan Lan is controlling her, or maybe Zhan Lan is trying to suppress the out-of-control bloodline and power in her body.

But no matter what the truth is, she is standing next to Zhan Lan without saying a word.

A phantom appeared on the surface of Jiang Yu's mind - he saw himself taking action brazenly, using the 'Celestial Rules' to forcibly suppress the idiosyncratic changes in several people and trying to correct and treat them. However, the next moment, the blazing silver and white light burst out in an uncontrollable manner. Tear apart the earth and cleanse Hades. It turned into a blazing light of destruction and washed away and distorted the outside world. Countless fires surged up and countless meteorites fell. The whole world entered death in an instant.

This may be a prophecy, but it may also be a threat or a warning.

Destroying the world is not a trivial matter that can be fooled by a haha. Especially, under the current environment.

Jiang Yu's eyes shifted to Zhang Jie again.

"I don't know what happened, but the Zhongzhou team seems to have changed after you left." A wry smile appeared on Zhang Jie's lips. "At the beginning, the atmosphere was just a little tense, but in order to resurrect you, Zheng Zha and others, it is normal for the atmosphere to be a little tense. But since we came to this world, the situation has taken a turn for the worse."

He took a breath.

"The newcomers are dead... from their own stupidity, and from the indulgence of the seniors... and even their guidance. They were supposed to stick together and hide in a low-key manner until they faced the test of fate. But the too huge aggravation on them Instead of protecting them, they become careless."

Killing a newcomer in the team will deduct a thousand reward points, which is not much, but it is proof. At this moment, Jiang Yu's perception had swept through every reincarnation watch present, and he knew that no one had such a beacon on their reincarnation certificate.

"It's just natural elimination." Zhan Lan stared at him, his eyes dark, but he said expressionlessly. "We've done the best we can to them, and they have to at least prove they can be useful."

A bit sharp, but not incomprehensible...if what she did was exactly what she said.

"...You are looking down at them from the position of a high-ranking person." Jiang Yu knew that she did not and would not tell lies. "You assessed their value and you did whatever you wanted with them. You didn't intentionally try to kill them, but you intentionally put them in a position where they were more likely to make mistakes."

"I don't deny it." More pure white light emerged from the depths of Zhan Lan's eyes. "We have reached this point with sweat and blood, and we have overcome many hardships. And this is proof that we are more noble. If they want to stand side by side with us, they need at least a certain weight."

"Your thoughts are very dangerous." Jiang Yu flicked her fingers lightly. "As a reincarnation, it is in line with the needs of the Lord God to stand on the friendly side as much as possible. Arrogance is not a proof of strength, but a sign of defeat."

"Is this your judgment as the captain?" Zhan Lan asked softly. "If it is, I will comply."

"Comply, not correct?"

"You are the strongest in the team, Jiang Yu. Your nobility is above everyone else. If you make a decision, others should follow it. Because it is natural for the strong to dominate the weak. The weak We should be obedient and submissive, just as the world is to us."

"Like the world is relative to us?"

"Yes, I have hacked into most of the key nodes in this world. Zhu Wen cooperated with me to adjust their fate. Now the entire A Chinese Ghost Story world is at our disposal. The only Black Mountain old demon who has the ability to struggle has been wiped out. , and the centipede essence as the main line template is already a withered bone in the grave——

——As the resettlement place of Easter Point, we should maintain sufficient control over this world. Before completing the main plot, we should ensure effective control of this world and establish a solid and absolute order. And in this way, we can ensure that the gate of Wusi City can be used normally at all times. "

"..." Jiang Yu closed her eyes.

"Finally, where did you learn this truth?"

"A long time ago." Zhan Lan paused. "When I was a child, I heard stories about heaven. When I grew up, I understood the truth. The strong dominates the weak, and the weak obeys the strong. This is the essence of order. Now that we have reached this point, maybe one day, We can also build our own heaven.”

"If it fails to be successfully formed, it doesn't hurt to join the more powerful Heavenly Court... right?" Jiang Yu didn't expect to answer, because he had just said that this was the last question. He opened his eyes again and looked at Zhan Lan, filled with nostalgia and sadness.

"I originally thought that we would meet again in another atmosphere. Another atmosphere that is better, more comfortable, and more... desirable. But now... Zhu Wen, you are on her side, yes ?"

Zhu Wen didn't answer, just looked at him quietly. He didn't know if there was a girl screaming for help in those eyes, but the matter was at this point, and the slow and steady approach could no longer be adopted.

"Cheng Xiao?"

"I don't agree with what she said." Cheng Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly. "But I believe in balance. Although I can't balance it even if I stand here, I owe Zhan Lan a big favor and must repay it."

"……with this method?"

"with this method."

"Zhang Jie." Jiang Yu held the handle of the war hammer for the second time. "You haven't told me why you didn't do anything."

"She has already taken that step." Zhang Jie raised his hands as if surrendering. "The Lord God has determined that she is qualified to compete for the captaincy. And I must complete the last job... I can't hand over the captaincy directly to you. And until the captaincy competition is over, I can't do anything extra. "

"...It seems you don't need to obey me anymore, Zhan Lan."

"The Lord God's judgment is indeed more authoritative." Zhan Lan nodded. "Then, Jiang Yu, I'm going to fight with you. If I win, I will eliminate all living creatures on this land and eradicate the possibility of civilization's recovery. In this way, the Easter Point here will be completely for my use. .”

"You really lack education."

"Try to educate me, Jiang——"

The words have not yet finished.

The wave of pitch-black flames suddenly erupted, accompanied by a familiar voice and the blazing anger contained within!

"Get out of Zhan Lan's body! Monster!"
