Chapter 673: The Thousand Faces
Chapter 673 · Thousand Faces
There is a theory in this world - it is said that as long as there are at most six people, someone on earth can definitely contact another person who has not completely left the society. This is the so-called six-person rule, and it has been verified many times.
It may be valuable, but it is not applicable to Jiang Yu. Because he only needs to turn his ear and listen to the air. He can capture the name corresponding to the designated object from the cluster of atmospheric electromagnetic waves. And as long as this person has a name, and this name has been spoken or written, then all his whereabouts will be clearly revealed in front of Jiang Yu.
This is also something that ordinary people can do - something that can be done in theory.
Relying on this ability that ordinary people can obtain, Jiang Yu was able to capture Li Shuaixi.
A young man.
An older unemployed and frustrated Central Asian youth.
A desperate young man who likes to read science fiction and military fantasy works, who is not popular because of his introverted and sultry personality, and always encounters malice in school and society, and has an unhappy lifestyle.
Jiang Yu found him.
When Jiang Yu found him, he was begging the landlord of the cheap apartment for mercy, asking him to give him a few days' grace. So that he could find a way to do odd jobs to earn money, or find another place to stay.
His posture was very low, and his tone was very humble. He lowered his hands and head, and let the landlord scold him, but he just smiled with a red face, and did not dare to complain.
He did not dare to, but he did not have any. He did have a pair of clenched fists.
And the disguise of this rookie was naturally not hidden from the eyes of the landlord who was used to seeing people coming and going.
"Pack up your things and get out within an hour. The police station is just two hundred meters away. If you don't get out, there are plenty of people to help you get out." The well-dressed landlord said a harsh word. He naturally knew when to be tough and when to be kind to others. And it was obvious that Li Shuaxi in front of him was not in the category of his vigilance and fear.
He left angrily.
Li Shuaixi opened his mouth and watched the landlord leave. He wanted to say something but his words got stuck in his throat. In the end, he could only swing his clenched fist to his side, but he didn't dare to really smash the table beside him.
He was already planning to leave - confused and resentful, but he still made up his mind to leave. He didn't know what kind of fate was waiting for him in the future, but he thought that there might be a way out when the car reached the top of the mountain.
"Tianhuang Jun, he left with the remnants of the Ten Thousand Races with such a mood back then."
Jiang Yu appeared at his door, and Jiang Yu and the landlord of this apartment just missed each other.
"Knowing that he and his people had no place to stay, he could not find a reason to stay, and he could not afford to stay in this universe. As a loser, his heart was undoubtedly full of anger and resentment. But he also admitted that the land under his feet no longer belonged to him and his followers. Facing the ultimatum of the ruler, he could only choose to obey."
Jiang Yu himself didn't know what he was saying.
But he knew he should say so.
He calculated all the word arrangements and found that such an order with a sufficiently calm tone could be the key to activate a certain door. This may be a secret that is not known to anyone and should not be known to anyone, and when it is fully conveyed to a suitable individual, the transformation will be generated.
"Who are you!" Li Shuaixi, who saw Jiang Yu suddenly appear, showed a frightened expression, and that expression instantly turned into anger. "What nonsense are you talking about!?"
"In fact, the scene at that time was not as warm and affectionate as it is now." Jiang Yu ignored him and continued. "The human coalition has already pushed the remnants of the Ten Thousand Races into a desperate situation. There is no intention to leave even one alive. Tianhuang Jun finally chose to use his life to buy time, so that the remnants of the Ten Thousand Races could temporarily escape the encirclement and go to the multi-dimensional border to awaken the First Dragon and the First Phoenix, who had both fallen into eternal sleep due to the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation in the early days of the Ten Thousand Races' rule. And he also knew that the reason he was able to successfully buy this time was because the wise men of the human race wanted to kill them all more thoroughly."
"Emperor Jun must die, and Taiyi must die too. The First Dragon and the First Phoenix must die, and only the remaining people of the Ten Thousand Races know that the two ancient saints Where exactly is the imperial capital sleeping? The battle of the creation of the world should have ended with the five emperors of the myriad races being slaughtered by the five emperors of the human race, and all the members of the myriad races being expelled. Because as long as all the myriad races are dead, the Holy Emperor Kunpeng, who lives in the time and space distortion point deep in the world line of the unity of the myriad races, will have to reappear with a seriously injured and dying body, and at that time, the battle of the creation of the world will come to an end. "
"All the myriad races are dead and wounded, and the human race will rule forever. This is the result that the wise men expect. If there were no outsiders visiting from the sky, everything would have been a foregone conclusion. "
Li Shuaixi in front of him stopped talking, and a dark light was reflected in the depths of his eyes. A touch of ancient will was successfully awakened by Jiang Yu in a way that ordinary people can do, just by using language. Because what Jiang Yu said was indeed a secret that had happened before.
A secret that he actually didn't know - but it was also a secret.
"You also lost." He looked at the sky and then at the earth. The power in his body was about to burst forth, but it was completely extinguished, not even a tiny bit flowing outward. "And he lost even more miserably than us."
"And you didn't come back to respond to the call for help--" Jiang Yu continued to speak in a way that he didn't understand. "You wanted to take advantage of the arrival of the outsiders to fish in troubled waters. You wanted to fight for an opportunity to stay in the multiverse instead of going out to gamble your life without any assurance. You are willing to become the black gloves and executioners of the outsiders for this, but unfortunately, the object you expect does not appreciate it."
"It doesn't need servants or slaves. It doesn't even need to cook itself and jump into its mouth, just to live a little longer as a tribute. You can't hold on to new thighs and dare not rush out of the multiverse to gamble your life. That's why your reinforcements have not arrived yet, and you missed the only opportunity that might have existed to fight against the outsiders. It's not really because of some unlucky guy who was pushed by you... too much selfishness."
"...What do you want to express?" Jiang Yu's interlocutor asked him.
"The current scene is very good." Jiang Yu nodded and responded. "A tenant who can't pay a penny and has no ability to survive independently. A tenant who is desperate. A landlord who is not so pure, but at least has this asset. The tenant can get a pledge lease contract that is not fair at all, but at least can get a place to stay. And this contract is destined to be torn up by the stronger party of you at a price, but before you fight each other, there will be no internal conspiracy in this liquidation."
"Who will guarantee it?"
"I will." Jiang Yu replied. "Until the end of this war, the internal conflict will be punished by me personally. And when the war is over, I will not participate in the fight between you two."
"You are not human?"
"At least not a human here." Jiang Yu still maintained the parameters of an ordinary person, and everything he said and everything he promised now were gradually understood and realized by him. And he knew the cause and effect.
Only lives above the Saint Emperor have the ability to keep the back-up plan for the next era. This is authority, one of the conveniences that high-level people have in the current multiverse. It succeeded because the proto-embryo of the multiverse is always stable, and beyond that, even if you have great power, you cannot achieve the same goal.
No matter how strong the Saint is, he cannot kill the Saint of the corresponding position. This is the convenience brought by the multi-dimensional authority. And at the moment when the Saint is forbidden, many precious and limited resources must rely on the remnants of the old Saint Emperor.
So, there is this transaction.
"So you are the sheriff." Li Shuaxi exhaled lightly. "And the only thing I can trade is my existence, my philosophy, my glory, and my authority - use it to exchange for a power that the Ten Thousand Races can compete with the Human Race again, instead of being completely removed from the chessboard by Chu Xuan at the same time as the victory... I have fought with Jun, and he is far inferior to Chu Xuan. How did he do it, the weak reincarnation surpassed the intelligence of the multi-dimensional apex?"
"You can ask him yourself."
"Can I still live to see him?"
"Li Shuaxi is a member of the Zhongzhou team." Jiang Yu searched the rapidly filling memories in his mind. "Being a member of the Zhongzhou team is a precious status. I think it is far higher than being the Holy Emperor of the Ten Thousand Races or the Human Race. This is the decision I made, and it will be carried out. And no matter which side wants to make what type of contract, I will not allow the interests of the Zhongzhou team members to be affected - even if there is a conflict between team members, it is not allowed."
"Tianhuang Jun will die, and Li Shuaxi will live. This is my will, and I don't care whether Li Shuaxi will inherit Tianhuang Jun's legacy, and whether the successor of Donghuang Taiyi, who is aliased as Zhang Huangdong and whom he tried to shelter in Biochemical II, can survive."
"...Exchange one hope for an opportunity." The former Holy Emperor murmured: "...I don't believe in humans. Humans will not give up any opportunity to win big or small. But Li Shuaxi believes in you, believes that Captain Jiang Yu will fight to the end for the interests of the team members, and believes that Captain Jiang Yu can effectively and properly mediate the conflicts between team members. And this is enough for me to bet my life."
"You have already bet once." Jiang Yu tapped his temple lightly. "And your last bet was not entirely fruitless. At least, you got a chance to bet again."
"...It's a pity that Li Shuaixi doesn't care about the interests of the Ten Thousand Races, or even the existence of the Ten Thousand Races itself."
"After all, the Zhongzhou team is basically made up of humans." Jiang Yu extended his hand to him. "Including Zhu Wen, who was originally the reincarnation of Kunpeng, but was abandoned because the situation changed too quickly. I prioritize protecting the interests of the team, and the interests of the team tend to be human. This is the general trend, and there is no room for negotiation. You can only infiltrate this far under Fuxi's nose, and your determination and investment in the Zhongzhou team are not sufficient. And you can only accept such a result."
He held Jiang Yu's hand.
"You can only accept it." One of the Five Emperors of the Ten Thousand Races exhaled his last breath. "There is no choice, but you can only accept it. You must accept it."
The transformation has happened.
Li Shuaixi blinked his eyes, his facial features remained unchanged, but his inner temperament was turned upside down in an instant. From the cynical and angry incompetence to the wise and understanding of everything, Xia, who had been standing beside Jiang Yu but had no voice or presence, handed a pair of plain glasses to the eyes of the transformed person.
‘Li Shuaixi’ put on the glasses.
He gently pushed the frame of the glasses and nodded to Jiang Yu.
“How many times has this happened?”
"The fourth era can also be four million."
"Up to four million?"
"My current guess is four million." Jiang Yu shook her head. "I can't become stronger, I can't have an energy cycle, I can't unlock even the first-level gene lock. I can't forge any creation that can be rated for combat power... I can't do anything basically. And once I surpass it, I will find something like this next time. The chance of meeting will be at least four million epochs later."
"I see." Li Shuaixi, who was wearing glasses, could undoubtedly take the name Chu Xuan - even if there was another Chu Xuan in Longyin Base at the moment. "Even if the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races successfully arrives, the result will not change. Even if the plans of the Five Emperors of the Human Race and the Five Emperors of All Races four epochs ago are all successful, the result will not change at all - Kunpeng chose the right path. . She modulated the world line more than I expected.”
"You speak highly of her."
"In the next actions, her power will greatly increase the success rate. And since she gave up Zhu Wen as the successor and chose Luo Wei as the reincarnation, it means that she has more leverage than she appears on the surface. More. Even some of it wasn’t what I expected.”
"Very good." Jiang Yu nodded. "So, what to do?"
"There should be something on your watch." Chu Xuan pressed the tripod of his glasses. "Gather your companions, this is what you should do. I have a general understanding of the snake's surveillance measures. It anchors a safe script and defines the identities of all those who will always appear no matter what. And as long as these people If one of them crosses the line, it will take action immediately, and even if we conceal it well enough, there will be an inspection mechanism to eliminate variables."
"I'll take care of that," he said. "And, there is only one Chu Xuan in this world. The one currently occupying that position is my copy. Therefore, you should call me by another name."
"I guess that's a pretty special name."
"Di Jun's authority is compatible." Chu Xuan nodded. "It has a golden dream of compatibility among all beings. And that allows it to become the Thousand-Faced Man, to be anyone. To be me."
"And the name I chose has something in common with this power."
"Li Xiaoyi." He said. "Just think of me as Li Shuaixi's second personality."
