Sui Yi could only chuckle at Gu Sansi’s "offense from below," and then posed his own question.
"Your two questions... For the first one, I’m sure you already know the answer."
Sui Yi paused for a moment and said, "During those ten years of my absence, the structure of this world changed the most. This basic world hides several Void-breaking level masters, which doesn’t conform to the world’s developmental rules. However, firstly... Throughout the nine lives, none of my lives were true reincarnations of flesh and blood, which means I had no parents. Each time, I reincarnated with my true self, life after life, erasing the Witch Body and soul power... Starting from infancy or childhood, the ninth life was the endpoint, where I was almost stripped of all intelligence... Yet the final result was that you survived the ninth life without being completely obliterated, carrying remnants of the Ninefold Demon Tower and the High Priest’s power into this world. In addition, most fragments of your true self remained here... They greatly influenced the structure of this world, but these forces were concealed within the spatial layers, until Jin, with the help of the Shura and God’s Jasper, opened a passage to this world, causing these forces to flood in..."
Gu Sansi: "Hmm, you’re not wrong. Within just ten years, those people who were stuck at the 4S realm in this world advanced shortly after you left, within three days. Over the ten years, those who benefitted from these forces saw their power surge rapidly, only slowing down in the past year or two... But having tasted success, they began to covet more remnants and started searching for treasures left in the Main World..."
"Secondly, about that Dou Tian Shu you asked, it is indeed not a treasure of the Main World, but rather an Emperor’s Vessel derived from the history of human dynasty, containing the accumulated merit of emperors over the years—each emperor, governing a dynasty, brings stability to the people, and heavens bestow merit. You know about this better than I do, but since you entered the Ninefold Demon Tower and missed the first imperial dynasty... you naturally didn’t know about the Emperor’s Vessel."
Sui Yi frowned slightly: "Emperor’s Vessel... Merit Tool... If the Shura acquires it, he can enhance his merit body and perhaps surpass me."
"Not necessarily surpass you, but he can basically narrow the gap. From the beginning, Shen Zhiyue, as the First Spirit, is the strongest. You as the Second Spirit are stronger than the Third Spirit, Shura. This disparity can be referenced by the power of God’s Jasper created by Shen Zhiyue, which almost matches Shura. If the rules of the universe are your mother, with a physical form, then Shen Zhiyue is a drop of blood in her heart, signifying the core hub, most powerful, born earliest, and created the human race, hence having the first merit. You are a drop of blood on her brow, meaning restraint and balance, belonging to the soul, enlightening the human race from beast-like savagery to a civilized era, which is the second merit. Shura, representing flesh and root bone, has the heaviest share in rules, but not as strong as your core, derives desires through flesh, unwilling to be beneath you, thus creating the Asura World and meddling in reincarnation, spawning Hell, which counts as merit, though his selfish desires are too strong, and rules don’t recognize him... To change this situation, the most direct means is obtaining Dou Tian Shu—or the Emperor’s Vessel, using the emperors’ merits from eons to forge a golden body... and obtain your Arrow of the Witch Emperor and Jade Bi, seize your power for his own... If it were before, even if you and I joined forces, we might not fear him. But now that Shen Zhiyue has reappeared, and God’s Jasper, sealed by you in the Dimensional Realm, is about to be unsealed... If any two of these three are taken from us, you and I will be very passive."
"Actually, what you’re saying is not to lose a single one."
"Precisely."
Leaning against the bathroom wall, Sui Yi seemed lost in thought: "Actually, are you really sure Yue is still around?"
On the other side, Gu Sansi fell silent.
"Do you hope she is here, or not here?"
"I hope she remains more important than anyone, Sansi... Even if I’m not the High Priest right now, I can tell you... In this world, there’s no one more important than her."
"If you said those words to her nine thousand years ago... or even now... perhaps we would have won."
Victory or defeat, rests solely in that person’s thoughts.
"Can’t say," Sui Yi’s voice was very soft, barely audible.
"A Spirit cannot harbor emotions. I am the same as she is."
"Not to mention, emotions are unequal."
Unequal emotions?
Gu Sansi suddenly stayed there, realizing she had thought she understood the sentiments of her first and second masters, but now she realized... the emotional world of Spirits is something her non-spiritual form cannot comprehend.
Is it a triangle or a square, and if you add Shen Zhijue’s admiration for Shen Zhiyue... it’s a pentagon?
They could almost build The Pentagon.
After a moment of silence.
Sui Yi suddenly heard Gu Sansi say.
"Did you ever consider that if she is omnipotent, she might be omnipresent too? Could she be watching you shower right now, listening to your words?"
In one second, Sui Yi hung up the phone.
Gu Sansi, far away in China, also laughed at the moment.
Regardless, at least the High Priest hasn’t been extinguished by the Ninefold Demon Tower, and Shen Zhiyue is still around...
It hasn’t reached the worst scenario.
As for the battles and bloodshed involved in the process, let’s forget them for now.
Do you know where the world’s largest drawing is?
Many middle and high school students who take history and geography classes are often asked this question by their teachers, and then they learn there is a place called Nazca in the world.
Nazca is located within Peru’s Andes Mountain region, and the Nazca Lines, hailed as the world’s mystery, are found within Peru at an altitude of 600 meters on the Nazca Plain, stretching north to Ingenio River, south to Nazca River, covering an area of two hundred square miles.
The Nazca Plain itself is vast, being a plain the traffic environment is quite good, and currently, a convertible off-road vehicle, with huge tires kicking up dust, leaves behind tracks on the plain.
This off-road vehicle is powerful, speeding over the plain like a lion.
And Leon, who was driving, looked invigorated.
"Peru is a fascinating place, even without the Nazca Lines, it has the mysterious and sacred Machu Picchu Ancient City. Unfortunately, we’re short on time, and can only head to the plain first to find the hotel where Yi stayed..."
At that time, Yi didn’t precisely reveal her location, but Sui Yi and Leon both felt that given Yi’s personality, she would never abandon a nearby Nazca Plain hotel to choose a distant town hotel.
Even if the plain hotel wasn’t safe.
But Yi himself is a dangerous character.
"Up ahead is the Plains Hotel... Ever since humans invented airplanes, saw patterns suspected to be created by gods, they’ve started to believe there’s treasure left by gods buried here... Scientific expeditions from all over the world, adventurers from every place, all sorts of people have rooted themselves here, wanting to explore the charm and secrets of this land..."
Leon was quite torn at first about leaving his country’s territory without permission, thinking he might have become a traitor, but with the Skeleton Society’s pursuit order behind him, for the sake of his life, he had no choice but to leave in a hurry... However, the farther he got from this M country, the more his shrewdness and gossip-loving nature emerged, much like a notorious chatterbox.
——To maintain a chatterbox demeanor even between two icebergs, you can imagine there’s a reason he became the king of information in New York’s underground black market.
"You should know, before, every word people wanted from me cost a million dollars, and now I’m talking to you for free, and you still complain. Alright, the closest, biggest one up ahead is probably where Yi is staying..."
Just as they were speaking.
The massive off-road vehicle drifted standardly into the parking slot of the Plains Hotel.
A row of adjacent inns, along with many shops and restaurants, it looked like a small town, with plenty of cars and horses.
Of course, there were also many people.
There were stylish women on vacation, adventurers in unique attire, and martial artists practicing diligently here, a diverse crowd...
Many of these people were giving the handsome, graceful entry a glance.
The driver was an old man with white hair and a white beard.
Mumbling under his breath.
"Hey, where are your backpacks?~~"
Sui Yi, who had already gotten out of the car, casually closed the door, "Didn’t bring any."
Didn’t bring any!
Leon dragged out his big backpack and looked at Sui Yi.
Long leather boots and black trousers, topped with a red-brown leather jacket with twelve buttons, a long sword buckled at the waist, long hair tied up with a jade hairpin, and a beret to top it off.
Long legs, a slim waist, and a striking figure, undoubtedly independent and stylish.
As for Li Luo’s attire, it wasn’t much different, only his long hair was tied at the back, and a peaked cap covered half his face, hands tucked in his denim jacket, having slept in the back seat since the journey started...
A beauty, no matter what she wears, is beautiful.
Didn’t you see those guys whistling?
But the problem is...
Where’s the promised short-sleeved, shorts, sweaty experience!
Leon looked down at his own shorts and beach shirt, sweat already seeping through them...
"Your Chinese culture is ancient and profound, is there some super cultivation technique that absorbs sweat?"
Absorb sweat? Do you think it’s an insole!
Sui Yi glanced at the sweat-drenched backpack-laden Leon, and then clapped his palm on Leon’s back.
Instantly a large breath of cool air surged in, and Leon felt completely refreshed.
"So, it really exists! Why didn’t you use it on me earlier, Sui?"
At first, Leon didn’t know Sui Yi’s true identity, but after hearing Li Luo call Sui Yi a couple of times, he followed suit.
Foreigners all like a single-syllable nickname.
And thus, Sui Yi became Sui.
"Your physique is too weak, exercise is good."
"Then why are you using it on me now?"
"The smell of sweat."
"...."
You’re not obliged to answer, OK~~
However, while Leon could go on talking endlessly, he couldn’t tolerate having a sweat odor, considering it quite a lowly state, so he hoped that the largest hotel up ahead was indeed their destination...
