I Really Am the Mastermind

Why are there monstrous waves on the Yellow River, and roaring dragons and snakes?

Why is there a golden light stretching ten thousand feet on the peak of Kunlun, and a heavenly palace faintl...

Chapter 268 Ancient God Altar

Chapter 268 Ancient God Altar

When Murray walked out of the bar, the sun was setting. The afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the entire Taihua with distinct layers, and also stretched Murray's shadow very long.

"Mr. Know-It-All?" Murray muttered the name.

When the devil stopped asking for reward and instead made this request, Murray suddenly became even more uneasy.

Demons...are never so easy to talk to. They have always been closely associated with fraud and lies since ancient times.

Countless familiar stories show that demons are not trustworthy and that transactions with them can be risky at any time, especially when such strange requests arise.

"Is it related to the devil? But why did Mammon say he was willing to serve him? Is there any connection between the two? Shouldn't the devil serve Satan?"

Murray couldn't figure out the key no matter what, but he knew he needed to be careful this time so as not to fall into the devil's trap.

Although Murray used the demon Mammon, he was also deeply wary of Mammon.

………

After Murray left, a flame lit up in the palm of the demon Mammon in the bar's box, illuminating the dim bar box.

Demon Mammon looked at the burning flames in front of him, with respect in his eyes. He slowly spoke:

"Oh, Almighty Satan, I have found the one."

"I will bring your will to you and offer you my utmost loyalty."

The flames swirled and swayed in the air, slowly extinguishing with the prayers of the demon Mammon.

………

Sunrise and sunset, time flows like water.

After leaving Taihua, Murray held talks with Daming at noon the next day. He put forward a request that Daming's Ministry of Rites could not figure out, and said that Daming could put forward conditions, and as long as Taixi could meet them, it would never be refused.

"I want to see Mr. Know-It-All."

Murray only made this request, and he was sure that Ming Dynasty definitely had such a person.

This request confused the Ministry of Rites. Few people in the Ming Dynasty, even in Nirvana, knew about Bai Xiaosheng, let alone no one in the Ministry of Rites.

Mr. Know-It-All?

Who is this?

Never heard of it!

The Ministry of Rites was helpless. Since Murray insisted that the Ming Dynasty knew about this person, they could only report it to the cabinet for handling.

………

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was grand and solemn.

Prime Minister Zhang Dongsheng looked at Lin Qingsheng and Daoyi and said:

"They said they wanted to see the all-knowing gentleman, and they were certain that there was such a person in the Ming Dynasty. All the ministries had verified that there was no such person. Is there such a person in Nirvana?"

"Mr. Know-It-All?"

When Daoyi heard this name, he was obviously stunned, as if he was very sensitive to this name.

"What? Is there really such a person?" Zhang Dongsheng said slowly.

Daoyi bowed and said slowly: "Bai Xiaosheng, the name in the West is Mr. Know-It-All."

"What?" Lin Qingsheng was completely stunned.

Ever since the Loulan Ghost City incident, few people in the Nirvana organization have mentioned Bai Xiaosheng.

Because no one dared to ask him questions anymore, and the price he asked was too high.

Lin Qingsheng had already tacitly buried it in the snow, and he never thought that he would hear this name again from somewhere else.

"How do they know Bai Xiaosheng is here?"

Lin Qingsheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Could it be that he doesn't want to quit?"

Apart from the people in the Nirvana organization, only Bujie knew that there was an incarnation of Bai Xiaosheng in the Daming Dynasty.

Daoyi shook his head and said, "The West itself knows about the existence of Bai Xiaosheng. In the past two thousand years, there are few people who don't know him. Since that person spoke, he must have confirmed through some channel that Bai Xiaosheng's incarnation is here."

"As for whether or not to quit, it's hard to say."

"Taixi must have something to ask for before she would think of Bai Xiaosheng. Otherwise, few people would dare to ask Bai Xiaosheng."

"It is also a taboo for Bai Xiao to be born among the extraordinary people."

It was a complete taboo, one that no one dared to mention.

At this point, Dao paused and said, "Since this person wants to see Bai Xiaosheng, it's okay to let him see him."

Daoyi said this out of his own selfish motives.

When Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty fought Chen Youliang to the end, Chen Youliang was defeated in Poyang Lake because he failed to fulfill Bai Xiaosheng's promise.

Since Taixi is willing to take the risk, he doesn't mind letting Taixi meet Bai Xiaosheng.

As long as I can get enough benefits from Taixi.

………

On the second day of the meeting, Daming made a series of requests, and Murray agreed to them with great reluctance before being allowed to meet the all-knowing gentleman.

However, he alone was allowed to see the all-knowing gentleman.

On the way, Murray was blindfolded the whole time and was guarded by Ming Dynasty extraordinary people wearing pure white masks and with the marks of the sun and moon in the sky and yin and yang on their foreheads.

He was not allowed to remove the blindfold until he arrived at the destination.

This is a pure white metal room, which seems to be deep in the mountains.

Murray looked around and saw that there were Nirvana practitioners from the Ming Dynasty beside him.

Then he saw a rag doll with stitches all over its body looking at him with creepy eyes.

That dark and weird style scared Murray.

"Who are you?"

"Aren't you here to see me?" The puppet man's sinister voice made it even more weird.

"You are... Mr. Know-It-All?" Murray reacted immediately.

The puppet spread his hands and said, "It's obvious. Who else could it be but me?"

Murray couldn't help but take a breath. He was indeed a person related to the devil, and even his appearance was so strange.

However, in this age of becoming a god, no matter how strange the appearance is, it is nothing.

The appearance of the Hell Wizard is not that great, but as long as the problem can be solved, it's fine.

Calming down, Murray said slowly: "I want to know how to join the interstellar colonization."

The puppet man glanced at Murray and said, "In the Caucasus Mountains, there is an altar left by an ancient god. It can also lead to the other side of the starry sky. Back then, the ancient god also had his own transmission channel in the starry sky."

"So simple?" Murray was stunned.

The puppet man smiled and said, "It's that simple. Everything is simple as long as you know the answer."

The puppet man paused and said, "Now that you have finished asking questions, it is time for me to propose a reward."

"remuneration?"

Murray's expression froze. He knew that the deal with the devil was indeed a trap.

The puppet laughed, showing his sharp teeth, and said, "Ask me questions for a fee. Now that you have asked, there is no chance to regret it."
