Volume 5: Return to Donghua Chapter 68: Mortals’ True Weapons Against Gods
"The Devil?"
Qi Ji listened to the information Ying Ci said, thinking about how much transcendence this thing could be worth, and asked: "What kind of species is this, an alien demon?"
“Demon?” Yu Xujiang sounded surprised. Before Ying Ci could speak, he interrupted and said, “The demon that appeared thousands of years ago?”
Ying Ci nodded, her expression firm: "The Heavenly Demon is the highest type of external demon. It is invisible and intangible, extremely evil and can possess any living creature, occupying its body and taking away its mind."
"The existence of those possessed by it will dissipate, and their bodies will become the shell of a demon. At the same time, they will be rapidly strengthened by one level, from level 4 to level 5, and level 5 to level 6, becoming a true god!"
After Ying Ci finished speaking, there was a hint of longing in her eyes, and she wished she could see such creatures with her own eyes.
Qi Ji couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw the little girl's desire to explore the unknown.
Little girl, exploring everything will only ruin yourself.
However, he did not talk much about the matter of the Heavenly Demon. He just looked at Yu Xujiang and said, "Now that the Ascension Pavilion has been destroyed and the Demon Heaven has fled, it would be a waste of manpower and effort to specifically search for and capture a top-level fifth-level demon. Therefore, we may have to adjust our next plan."
Yu Xujiang nodded and said, "Yes, after my invitation, the other major forces will gather here in about two days."
He went on to say, "The original target of this gathering, the "Dengtian Pavilion", no longer exists. What we really need to do is to deal with the subsequent impact they have caused. This only requires a simple discussion, and each force can solve the unrest caused by the transformation in the area under its jurisdiction on their own."
"The real problem is this "Demon"..." He frowned, "As we can see, although you, Qi Ji, have discovered the abnormality and promptly blew away the blood energy condensed from hundreds of thousands of lives, we don't know how long the Ascension Pavilion has been planning this matter, and how many lives and blood energy have been fed to this demon before this, so we must be cautious and gather the strength of all parties to come up with a way to deal with it in advance."
Qi Ji thought about it and realized that one of the top decision makers in Dengtian Pavilion was right next to him. He could just ask her.
Then he looked at Yingci again: "Yingci, you should be one of the so-called "top five" seats in the Ascension Pavilion, so, to what extent have you fed this demon?"
Ying Ci heard this and showed an expression that she had known she would be asked this question. She said helplessly, "The Ascension Pavilion's operation to find the outer demon star was suddenly initiated by Mo Tian. Before this, none of us knew that there was a demon hidden in the meteorite. However, according to the purpose of the Ascension Pavilion, we will of course not hesitate to look for something that can definitely cause chaos on the continent."
Qi Ji held his chin up and asked nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, why are you guys at Dengtian Pavilion so keen on making trouble?"
Ying Ci glanced at Qi Ji, then immediately lowered her eyelids and said sullenly, "Several leaders of Dengtian Pavilion once belonged to families or forces that had established a great reputation on the continent and were feared by the world. We are the remnants of those people, ambitious people, or even avengers..."
Yu Xujiang suddenly asked, "A family or force with a great reputation? Your last name is Ying. Could it be that you are a descendant of the Ying family, who was once famous throughout and established the super city "Mechanical City"? "
"That's right!" Ying Ci said indifferently, and then said: "I am a descendant of the Ying family. Mo Tian is the current owner of the "Dark Demon Castle" who once ruled the world with his fierce power, but is now unknown and sparsely populated. The Golden Swordsman is a descendant of the ancient "Golden Clan" who want to reproduce the glory of their ancestors. An Chan is a monk who survived the siege and destruction of the orthodox "Ru Shi Temple" in the martial arts world hundreds of years ago. Ban Yue Hua is a descendant of the secret organization "Su Zheng Si" of the super power "Huang Ting" that was once noble and prominent and ruled the world a thousand years ago. "
After listening to her, Yu Xujiang sighed and said, "The history of Donghua Continent is so long, and there are many superpowers that rose like meteors and eventually fell. Why do you have to cling to this past glory and live so hard because of a fate that you shouldn't bear?"
Ying Ci glanced at him calmly and said calmly, "What Pavilion Master Yu said is just a principle. When I was growing up, the people around me taught me to recover Xi City and rebuild the glory of the Ying family. Over time, my life goal has been tied to this matter."
Yu Chengen suddenly said, "But you are using the wrong method. If you want to be feared by the world, you don't necessarily need to commit heinous crimes to establish your power. I have a better way. Do you want to take it?"
Ying Ci looked at Yu Chengen. Although her mind was broken and her thoughts were confused at that time, she recalled after she recovered and knew that it was this Sword Lord who saved her from Qi Ji. So her face softened a little and she said, "Sword Lord, what path are you talking about?"
Yu Chengen smiled slightly: "With your superb mechanical skills, you can benefit mankind, manufacture weapons, and allow more people with low cultivation to go to the front line to eliminate foreign demons, popularize the power of "technology", and help mankind take back this world!"
He pointed at Qi Ji who was smiling faintly at the side and said, "You can see that even a man as brilliant and invincible as Mr. Qi, who wants to help humans and help them fight back against the foreign demons, is ultimately unable to do so."
"He is still a human after all, not a true god who can make everything come to life and die in a single thought." Yu Chengen said, "But you are different. If your "mechanism" continues to develop, it will have infinite possibilities. Now you are only a third-level body, but you can use the strength of a fifth-level mechanical man to beat me. In the future, if the power of mechanical art continues to flourish, is it possible that one day, even ordinary people can use weapons that can easily kill fifth-level strongmen with just a flick of their fingers?"
Ying Ci's eyes widened, and he murmured, "How is it possible... My giant mechanical man is made of countless precious materials collected from heaven and earth, and it also needs the extremely precious "Infinite Energy Crystal" as a power source..."
Yu Chengen interrupted her questioning and said with a smile: "Nothing is impossible. On the contrary, in my opinion and that of Mr. Qi Ji, if a "mortal" wants to be on par with a god, the art of "mechanism", or in other words... the power of "technology", is the most critical point!"
Ying Ci was stunned by what she heard. She still looked a little unconvinced and said unconvincedly: "You don't understand mechanical technology and don't know how difficult its operating principle is. How dare you say it so confidently?"
Yu Chengen and Qi Ji looked at each other and smiled.
Finally, You Qi Ji smiled and said: "It's very simple. Maybe you know that I, Sword Lord, and even Master Yu are all from the Inner Realm, but you can't go to the Inner Realm, and you don't know what kind of world the Inner Realm is."
He said leisurely: "In the inner realm, 'science and technology' is the primary productive force and the primary combat force. Over there, even an ordinary mortal without any extraordinary powers can fire a 'cannonball' that is powerful enough to destroy an entire city with just the movement of a finger."
"And this kind of shells, to be frank, any powerful "country" in the inner domain can easily produce and store hundreds or thousands of them."
“This is ‘technology’, the real weapon that enables mortals to fight against gods.”
