I don’t know how much time passed.

Wei Dongliu looked at the gap in the center of the earth and said thoughtfully:

"Shit, I feel like a genius."

"A Jing, Su Ming, you see, this formation can extract the chaotic pressure below and convert it into energy to drive itself."

"Moreover, all the components are above the formation. If Chaos wants to defile the formation tools, it must first break through the formation. But to break through the formation, it must first defile the formation tools."

"This way, there will be no risk of error!"

"It's not foolproof." Kunlun Jing suddenly said, "The defense focus of this formation is all down there. If someone destroys the formation from above, the chaos will still leak out."

"Pojing, can you use your brain to think about this?" Wei Dongliu said impatiently, "Yes, the weakness of this formation is at the top, but if someone really destroys the formation and causes chaos to erupt, causing a huge humanitarian disaster, can the retribution and karma be blamed on me?"

Kunlun Mirror and Suming Sword were both speechless.

The Hell Realm uses the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone to seal the chaos. If Wei Dongliu takes the fragments and ignores them, causing the chaos in the earth's core to leak out, then all the disasters and bitter consequences will be blamed on Wei Dongliu.

But Wei Dongliu created a formation to replace the original sealing function of the Sky-Buying Stone - of course, this formation was very extreme, with all the defenses piled up underneath, so that even a naughty child throwing a stone from above could easily destroy the formation.

However, as he just said: If someone really destroyed the formation, the responsibility will be entirely on the other party, and it has nothing to do with me.

From a causal point of view, this is indeed the case...

It’s a simple practice, but behind it lies a profound historical philosophy: Why do so many people like to be paperhangers?

As long as the weather is good and the crops are harvested well when I am in office, even if some seeds are planted that lead to floods during the next term, it will be the fault of the next term!

Of course, I can't say this to Wei Dongliu.

If you speak sarcastically to him, he will definitely reply with "Then what good solution do you have?" If you can't answer, he will laugh at you and torture you severely.

Therefore, although Yijing and Yijian both felt that something was wrong, they were tactful enough not to say anything to avoid bringing trouble upon themselves.

Wei Dongliu was admiring his own work when he suddenly heard someone say:

"You went deep into the Yellow Springs Hell just to study the formation to suppress the chaos in the earth's core?"

The person who appeared beside Wei Dongliu was the old man.

Wei Dongliu was just slightly startled, and immediately replied subconsciously:

"If in the real world, if I am not careful enough and cause chaos to erupt, I will certainly die, but what about the people? What about the people?"

He spoke these words with such cadence and righteousness that the old man was stunned in his place. After a long while, he said:

"He is a hero indeed."

He shook his head and sighed for a long time before finally saying:

"This Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm is supposed to test one's fortune and luck. And you are a Chaos Demon Body, and you are not afraid of the chaos of this Yellow Springs Hell. Logically speaking, this was premeditated and a trick."

"But I was surprised that you have the desire to save the people... Even if you pass, what will happen?"

Wei Dongliu sneered in his heart when he heard this, but said:

"Then may I ask, Senior, can this formation seal the chaos in the earth's core?"

"Although this formation is good, it is too extreme." The old man commented casually, "If someone tries to sabotage it from above, how can you resist this formation?"

"This is the limit of my skills." Wei Dongliu said calmly, "What do you think, senior?"

"Look!" Su Mingjian said to Kunlun Jing in surprise, "Look, he really went up to me!"

"Hmph, this is easy." The old man snorted arrogantly, and took out a long sword from his hand. He wrote and drew on the ground, saying, "Look, your formation design is indeed unique, but if you change it like this, wouldn't it be better?"

"How can you change it like this?" When Wei Dongliu heard that the perfect formation he had worked so hard on for days and nights could be found flawed, he immediately asked unconvincedly, "Senior, if you change it like this, the energy consumption of the formation will definitely increase. My original design was that the chaos in the earth's core below would provide enough pressure to continuously charge the formation above, and the efficiency of this charging would just be equal to the long-term consumption, achieving self-sufficiency without maintenance. Can you see that, senior?"

"How can I not see that?" The old man laughed and said, "Your design concept has long been studied thoroughly in our time, and the consensus among people is that it is 'flashy but not practical'."

"What's the point of not needing maintenance and being self-sufficient? It would be better to switch to regular maintenance in exchange for better performance. Don't you know how to calculate the cost-effectiveness?"

"Who will maintain it?" Wei Dongliu retorted, "After the formation is set up, do I have to come back every few thousand years to maintain it?"

"That's exactly the problem." The old man laughed and pointed at him, "Young man, why do you want to shoulder all the responsibility?"

"Suppressing the chaos in the Earth's core is the common responsibility of all human beings. Why should you shoulder the responsibility alone?"

Wei Dongliu thought to himself that in your era, the human race fought against the three races of demons, ghosts, and monsters, so of course the cohesion was extremely strong.

But in today's era, good and evil are in conflict with each other, and it is simply a pipe dream to expect people to work together.

Even if everyone knew that the world was about to be destroyed, they would only want to protect their own sects. Working together to repair the sky and save the world? Impossible, who would organize it, and who could trust whom?

However, what the old man said did make sense. After all, the Hell Realm has already regarded the depths of hell as its base. If he takes away the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone and leaves a formation at the gap in the center of the earth, the Hell Realm will definitely maintain this formation in order to prevent chaos from leaking out and polluting the Hell of Unending Suffering.

Wonderful! As the old man said, I am too responsible and think too far ahead.

All the sects in the world, Kunlun, Shushan and Penglai, all the evil spirits and demons, if even one of them stands up, will run back and forth to save the world. Why should I get used to taking on such a big responsibility and not even think about it for a moment?

well!

Wei Dongliu quickly made a decision, skillfully blaming the fact that his efforts were almost in vain on the fact that the major sects in this world were too weak.

Follow the old man's advice and leave all subsequent maintenance work to Hell.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior." He bowed sincerely.

"No problem." The old man stroked his beard with satisfaction and said, "Since you have understood it clearly, I will send you out."

"The twelve Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Masters have been confirmed."
