Chapter 712: Chapter 388 Helping and New Ideas_2
“Yet do they not know… that the very reason Practitioners are Practitioners, is not something so easily supplanted?”
“It has never been those with the Fire Seed who can become Practitioners.”
“Rather, it is only the Practitioners who can serve as the cornerstone for the birth and growth of the Fire Seed.”
“His actions will only add a new enemy for the Resistance Army.”
At this point.
Li Muhuang’s figure had already vanished into the darkness.
But his voice,
did not fade away.
“However…”
“The reason I know his methodology is flawed is because I have fought with a Practitioner before, and I deeply understand the uniqueness of this group.”
“But those who have never had close contact with Practitioners will find it difficult to recognize.”
“Zuo Wei cannot identify them, and neither can Jiu Yang Zi.”
“The same goes for ninety percent of the people in this universe.”
“Do you… understand?”
By this point.
The voice gradually faded away.
Lu Yang’s body stiffened.
He felt a stream of information flowing into his mind.
“This is…”
His eyes gradually widened.
Lu Yang’s expression,
went from initial confusion to a dawning realization.
And then to overwhelming joy.
Because the stream of information in his mind at this moment,
was precisely the method for seizing the Law that Zuo Wei had researched for years.
Although Li Muhuang verbally expressed his reluctance to offer help,
he had already pointed out a new road for Lu Yang.
That was to thoroughly stir up these waters.
If only the information about Chen Sheng, the special nature of the Practitioners, and this method of seizure could be leaked,
then everyone in the universe who learns of this information will turn their spears towards Chen Sheng and his universe.
Even if the Pocket Universe is extremely hidden, trying to find the other party is like looking for a needle in an ocean.
But as long as there are enough people looking for the needle, the chance of finding Chen Sheng will grow larger and larger.
If one person finds him, a battle will inevitably erupt between the two.
The occurrence of a battle will lead to the leakage of aura.
At that time,
countless strong individuals will swarm around Chen Sheng and his world like locusts.
There’s absolutely no need for him, nor the Resistance Army, to make a move.
The only thing that needs attention is,
while leaking the information, to not leave behind any traces that can be tracked.
However,
for Lu Yang,
this isn’t much of a problem.
“Good!”
Thinking of this,
he couldn’t help but exclaim in approval.
Unable to contain the excitement in his heart, he prepared to put this plan into action.
In the midst of his thoughts,
his figure began to gradually dissolve into the mist.
——————
At the same time,
somewhere in the universe.
Li Muhuang, who had emerged from the darkness, slowly opened his eyes.
Strangely enough,
compared to the formidable presence he showed while within the Black Mist,
his demeanor now was sluggish, his eyes clouded white.
Saliva even dripped continuously from the corners of his mouth.
He was, in essence, in a state of stupor.
“Is it done?”
In the dimly lit wooden house,
a voice came from another corner.
Jiu Yang Zi sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly opening his eyes that seemed to contain inverted galaxies.
His form was ethereal, as if his true body was not present.
“Hmm.”
“Regarding Chen Sheng, I truly miscalculated.”
He lightly placed his palm on Li Muhuang’s head.
A faint Red light began to gradually spread beneath the skin.
And Li Muhuang’s facial expressions also became more vivid, slowly returning to his usual state.
Behind him,
a face with a gentle smile emerged from the darkness, looking towards Jiu Yang Zi on the bed.
It was none other than Zuo Wei!
“Exceptional talent, yet so negligent.”
“No movement for full two months, forcing me to resort to this strategy.”
“Allowing such a minor character to carry the Fire Seed of Practice is an injustice in this universe, a desecration of Strength.”
Though the smile remained on his face,
Zuo Wei’s eyes became increasingly grim.
“Two months is not strictly a long time.”
“I thought you would at least wait a year or two before you could no longer restrain yourself.”
Jiu Yang Zi’s eyes and eyebrows lowered as he asked in a low voice,
seemingly indifferent to what Zuo Wei had done.
“But isn’t what Lu Yang said reasonable?”
“If Chen Sheng’s rate of progress truly accelerates with increased Strength,”
“then in two months, he might already have reached the Galaxy Level.”
“Give him another year or two,”
“and seizing the Fire Seed won’t be so easy.”
“This is the opportunity I’ve waited for many years, finally at hand,”
“I will not allow any mistakes.”
During the conversation.
Red light had vanished from within Li Muhuang’s corpse.
He slowly stood up.
Sharp eyes, sinister face.
And the terrifying aura that was constantly emanating.
There was no difference from the usual days.
“Go.”
Following Zuo Wei’s order,
Li Muhuang’s figure disappeared within the wooden house.
“What next?”
Jiu Yang Zi asked again.
“Wait.”
“Wait for Chen Sheng’s aura to appear.”
“I can naturally assume the role of the Savior to aid his escape.”
“Then I will use Lu Yang’s and Li Muhuang’s lives to gain his trust.”
“I have my own arrangements for what follows.”
Zuo Wei’s face remained unchanged, still with a smile.
Apart from the gloominess when he mentioned Chen Sheng earlier,
It was very difficult to guess what he was thinking at the moment.
“Aren’t you afraid someone else will preempt you?”
“Although our power is sufficient,”
“above the universe, there is no shortage of strong persons whose strength is no less than yours.”
“Not to mention… there are also Subordinates.”
The moment Jiu Yang Zi finished speaking,
Zuo Wei let out a light chuckle.
“Subordinates?”
“And you are a soul I specifically split off, for the purpose of calculating and foreseeing.”
“Is it because you have taken over the body of this old man Jiu Yang Zi that your thought process has become increasingly reliant on divination?”
In the darkness,
Even though “Jiu Yang Zi” looked down and did not look directly at Zuo Wei,
He could still feel the chilling gaze that was cast upon him.
“I wouldn’t dare.”
Thus,
He bowed his head even lower.
In response,
There was only a cold snort.
“Subordinates… Subordinates… Supreme Demon,”
Zuo Wei walked slowly through the darkness.
“With the existence of the Supreme Demon,”
“he who could surely see through everything and preview the future,”
“why has he never acted against us, nor against those scattered Practitioners?”
The laughter began again,
almost like self-mockery.
He walked slowly to the window,
looking out at the sparkling stars beneath the nightfall.
His gaze seemed to traverse immeasurable distances, as if to lock eyes with that supreme and powerful being.
“It seems to me,”
“from his perspective,”
“no matter what the future holds,”
“we are nothing more than a drop of water in this vast ocean, insignificant as a tiny shrimp.”
“We can’t stir up waves,”
“nor can we affect the ocean in any way.”
As he spoke,
Zuo Wei’s fist gradually clenched.
He squeezed so hard
that the crimson veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible.
Behind him,
Jiu Yang Zi seemed hesitant, as if he wanted to say something.
But in the end,
he chose not to break the silence.
Instead, it was Zuo Wei who took the initiative to speak.
“I know what you want to say.”
“Why bother struggling if the future is already determined?”
He slowly turned around,
smiling as he looked at his once companion.
The three leaders of the Resistance Army,
have been the same person for a very, very long time.
A man named Zuo Wei, obsessed with annihilating the Subordinates, and killing the Supreme Demon.
For this reason, he does not wish to hear any opinions that differ from his own.
Even the two companions who founded the Resistance Army with him
have become part of himself through his scheming.
“Before the Supreme Demon became the sole Supreme,”
“there were several Supremes above the universe.”
“Couldn’t any of them have foreseen the rise of the Supreme Demon?”
“Did no one see a future where the Supreme Demon would swallow them up?”
“There must be a way to change a predetermined future.”
“I just haven’t found that method yet.”
“But I will find it.”
As he spoke,
Zuo Wei held a very strong confidence,
as if he was merely stating something that was bound to happen.
“I will follow the trajectory of the Supreme Demon, seek possible directions, and take his place.”
“And Chen Sheng… this Chess piece on my board, is my chance to step onto this trajectory.”
Holding that thought,
Zuo Wei casually pinched a corner of the windowsill,
as if it represented Chen Sheng.
With a light pinch, it turned to dust and scattered with the wind.
“And is… my first stepping stone.”
