Chapter 633 Paradox of Law
Although Baihu was notified.
But Lin Ze still felt a little uneasy.
Ever since she participated in a battle she shouldn't have participated in and destroyed Prometheus's defense system, she often felt that her body was undergoing some changes.
This change is not a weakening of her.
Just the opposite.
She felt her strength returning.
This should be impossible... On the top of Qinqiu Snow Mountain, could it be that she woke up?
Lin Ze was not very clear about the conditions for her awakening, but there was no doubt that his increasingly profound influence on the world might be one of the causes.
When Lin Ze learned that he could not contact the staff of the Snow Mountain Trial Group, he resolutely headed north.
But she didn't go to Qinqiu Snow Mountain, she wanted to confirm something.
Standing in the mountain stream of another snow-capped mountain, Lin Ze raised his hand and touched the crack.
That is the entrance to Border City.
This place will be sealed indefinitely until the next warden is found, but there is not a single seed left in it.
If there was anything in there, it was herself.
Gently tearing open the seal of the engineering corps, Lin Ze stepped into the border city.
This city of eternal night has now been restored from ruins to its original appearance.
The traces left by the battle between Yang Er and Liu Er Mihou no longer existed. She walked to the gate without stopping, but raised her hand to grasp the white long knife, and then slashed the standing gate open with a bang.
Lin Ze walked slowly. The streets of the border city were empty, and only her figure seemed particularly lonely in the eternal night.
The streets that were once filled with death and chaos are now dead silent, with only the sound of the wind echoing between the buildings.
Her footsteps echoed in the empty street, crisp and hollow.
Every step seemed to be stepping on her heart, shaking her soul.
Lin Ze looked up at the sky. There were no stars in the dark night. Only a bright moon hung high in the sky, emitting a cold silver light.
Finally, she arrived in front of the building.
Black mist swirled around her, making an eerie hissing sound.
Lin Ze looked up and saw the building towering into the clouds, as if reaching the sky.
At the entrance of the tower, a huge iron door was closed, with strange runes engraved on it.
Lin Ze reached out and touched the iron gate, feeling a cold touch.
"What are you doing here?"
A cold voice came from the side. Lin Ze was slightly stunned, then turned his head to look.
She saw the girl wearing a tattered long skirt, barefoot and with disheveled hair standing beside her.
"Come to see you."
"The Trinity cannot be seen, the Trinity cannot be seen, the Trinity cannot be heard."
"The rules have been broken." Lin Ze said with a wry smile.
The girl tilted her head, looked at Lin Ze and said, "You broke it, but that's not surprising. You were too close to life, so you sided with the living. You ignored the possibility of machines existing in the world, and you severed something you shouldn't have."
"I just added fuel to the fire. What truly saved this world was the determination of humans and aliens."
The girl didn't seem to intend to tell Lin Ze this, but she also didn't seem to want to take action.
Just turn around and leave.
Lin Ze quickly caught up.
"Do me a favor."
"No help."
She quickly caught up with the girl, blocked her way, and said earnestly, "I know you have no interest in this world, but can you just consider it a favor for me?"
The girl with hair radiating from her face paused slightly and turned her head to look at Lin Ze.
"Are you afraid to face her yourself?"
"......Forehead."
Lin Ze smiled awkwardly: "With you here, the chances of winning are better."
"Her timing is not up to me, and the same goes for you. I can't kill you, you can't kill her, and she can't kill me."
“But we can exploit the rules.”
Lin Ze walked up to the girl, looked at her with lifeless eyes and said, "New rules."
......
After escaping from danger, Li Muhan carried the injured Xia Yue on his back and supported Zhuque back to the territory of the aborigine tribe.
Originally, the leader of the aboriginal tribe wanted to take the opportunity to do something when he saw Li Muhan and others were injured, but Li Muhan just raised his hand and showed him his wrist where the light blue bracelet was no longer on.
The leader of the gorilla tribe, the extremely tall female gorilla, immediately became obedient.
Then she saw Suzaku, who was even more well-behaved.
A large room was prepared for a few people, and others were ordered not to disturb them.
Chen Yiming is quite careful.
When Li Muhan and others had forgotten Bai Qing, she remembered and told Li Muhan.
So Li Muhan asked the gorilla to release Bai Qing and his people.
The gorilla was a little hesitant at first.
But Zhuque slapped her in the face and said, "I'm giving you face, right?! Even if I'm injured now, it would only take a flap of my wings to kill you hairy monkeys! Get out of here!"
The gorilla was so scared that it rolled and crawled, and quickly went to release Bai Qing and his tribesmen.
But what surprised everyone was that Bai Qing did not leave. She chose to stay and help Li Muhan and others.
"...The top of the mountain is dangerous. I can help."
Originally, Li Muhan didn't want her to stay. After all, this was no longer just a trial. The thing on the top of the mountain was most likely the most unreasonable existence he had ever encountered.
This unreasonableness does not refer to personality.
But it's her strength.
Li Muhan and Xia Yue could both feel it during the fight just now.
There wasn't a trace of the aura of the realm on the girl, and one couldn't even sense a trace of strength from her.
The sword she swung was ordinary, but it was able to suppress both herself and Xia Yue at the same time, and even injure Zhuque. This was what Li Muhan could not understand.
Bai Qing insisted on staying. At this time, Zhuque looked at Bai Qing and suddenly smiled meaningfully.
"Just let her stay. Maybe she can really help?"
Since Zhuque said so, Li Muhan and others should have no objection.
"Suzaku, we are on the same side now for the time being. I have saved you just now." Li Muhan walked to Suzaku and sat down. He stared into Suzaku's eyes and said.
"So can you tell me now what Director Lin is?"
The wounds on Zhuque's body were still burning with scorching flames, which seemed to be a form of self-healing. After hearing what Li Muhan said, the girl raised her eyebrows and sneered.
"How arrogant, but you're right. You saved my life, so we're even. But your father and I still have a score to settle."
Li Muhan sighed, and she started to be unreasonable again: "I didn't owe you anything from the beginning, Suzaku, I said I'm not Li Chengtian's child, forget it, I don't want to talk about this with you, can you tell me about Lin Ze?"
Zhuque pondered for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly.
"Lin Ze's existence is far more complicated than you and I imagined."
She slowly stood up and walked to the stone window.
She gazed at the expanse of white in a trance, and slowly spoke, "At the dawn of this world, when chaos first began and before all things had spirits, something came into being. It was different from the gods and Buddhas, the flowers and trees. It wasn't a creation of this world, but rather appeared naturally on this earth."
"It's not what you and I would call life, not even a living being. It's a kind of... in today's terms, a law, a being that transcends this world. If you insist, it's like wind, rain, thunder, lightning, the sun, moon, and stars—unchanging and eternal, but it only takes a different form in each era."
Zhuque's voice is ethereal and distant, as if it has traveled through the long river of time.
Li Muhan stared at her blankly, doubts surging in his heart like a tide: "Are you saying that Director Lin...is completely different from any of the entities we are familiar with?"
Zhuque turned around, his gaze long and deep: "What ordinary people see is just a projection of Lin Ze, a mortal body. But that is not her true nature."
She paused, her tone growing more serious. "In truth, no one knows her true nature. She's like a primordial law, the cornerstone of the world's operation. No one can disobey her, no one can harm her. Before life, she guided the rising and setting of the heavens and the earth, and shaped the orbits of the sun, moon, and stars. And after life appeared... she was also influenced by it, giving birth to her own new set of rules."
"Lin Ze's name wasn't Lin Ze. Her existence was initially unknown. The earliest record of her was on a mural from ancient times. Back then, she had no physical form, just a breeze. But wherever the breeze passed, devastated all living things."
"You mean, she will bring disaster?"
Zhuque sneered at Lu Yunxue who was speaking. "It won't bring anything. It won't change the world, nor will it participate in anything in this world. You shouldn't say it brings disaster, but rather that it follows disaster. Primitive people are much dumber than you, but they can figure out that this breeze is warning them of the coming disaster and record it on the stone wall. You should also give these issues more consideration."
Lu Yunxue frowned slightly at being ridiculed, and then closed her mouth.
Zhuque continued, "Its name was first recorded during the Qin Dynasty. At that time, the Qin State swept across the vast lands and unified the six kingdoms. It can be said that this changed the fundamental ecological structure of this land. From a human perspective, it made an indelible contribution, but from a legal perspective, it is enough to be considered a turning point."
At that time, Qin Shi Huang once dreamed of a gust of wind blowing into his dream. The wind whispered beside his pillow, as if asking him questions, but no one knew what the wind was asking.
All I know is that Qin Shihuang waved his hand and replied.
"Then just kill him with three swords."
When he suddenly came to his senses and woke up from his dream, there was no movement.
"These three swords are the rules that the wind has set for itself. One sword cuts through, which means harvesting the soul. One sword shatters the present, which means severing the body. One sword breaks the future, which means being reduced to ashes and never being able to be reborn."
Hearing this, Li Muhan couldn't help but shudder, remembering what Lin Ze once said to him: "If you dare to let Xia Yue down, I will make sure you never get reincarnated."
Zhuque said, smiling as he looked at Li Muhan: "Guess which sword the Lin Ze you are familiar with was from back then."
Li Muhan answered without a moment's hesitation: "Future Sword."
"Ah? You're so smart?"
Zhuque smiled and said, "And these three swords also have their own rules. Those who harvest souls cannot kill the living. Those who destroy the body cannot destroy the soul. Those who turn to ashes cannot touch the present or the past."
"Boss, this is so complicated. Can I go get some sleep first? I feel like I need a brain."
Zhou Yichen looked at Li Muhan.
At this moment, Xia Yue also looked at Li Muhan with the same eyes: "I'm sleepy too."
But she snuggled into Li Muhan's arms without his consent, and fell asleep with even breathing in less than a second.
"...You go and rest." Li Muhan whispered to Zhou Yichen, afraid of waking up Xia Yue in his arms.
"Okay, Boss, wake me up if you need anything."
Zhou Yichen quickly moved to the back.
"Then how could Lin Ze, no, it should be Yuan, strike out with two swords in a row?"
Suzaku smiled and replied, "Because the rules were broken, boy. Lin Ze killed something she shouldn't have killed for the sake of humanity. Mechanical life forms don't have souls, but she killed them, breaking the taboo of the Jin Dynasty. The Trinity Rule was broken, and the Trinity is no longer one."
Li Muhan roughly understood the situation. He didn't know that Lin Ze had such a big secret.
In other words, unless there is something outside the law, then no matter how powerful you are, you cannot fight against it. But conversely, as long as you are not within its rules, no matter how weak you are, she cannot kill you.
What an extremely contradictory law.
The most troublesome thing now is that the rules have been broken.
So what is within the law and what is outside the law? Just like what Yuan said just now...
She has the final say in everything.
If this is true, then Li Muhan can hardly imagine how to defeat such an enemy.
