"Count me in!" Zhan Yuwu followed closely behind Huo Qubing, took the chess piece from Lin Qiye, and grinned, "Wherever the Marquis goes, I'll go."
"Tsk, you're so quick." Yan Zhong was clearly behind Lin Qiye, but he couldn't get the chess piece faster than Zhan Yuwu. He glared at him fiercely and took a white chess piece. "Why, do you want to show that you are more loyal to the Marquis than I am?"
"I'm doing this for the people of the world!"
Just as Yan Zhong and Zhan Yuwu were arguing, Wu Quan silently stepped forward and took a chess piece.
He hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Brother Qiye, will Brother Qingzhu also receive this kind of chess piece in the future?"
"Of course, he is Shen Qingzhu." Lin Qiye said with a smile.
Wuquan nodded and silently clenched the chess piece in his hand, "I will protect him."
"I made the first move. It seems I can't avoid it no matter what." Chloe shrugged helplessly, "Give me one too."
Hu Jia walked up to Lin Qiye, took a white piece with both hands, and said solemnly:
"Master Lin, Hu Jia will not fail in your mission!"
Seeing that everyone was taking chess pieces, Jia Lan blinked, stood up, and touched the last white piece in Lin Qiye's palm.
Before her fingertips touched Lin Qiye, the hand retracted.
Jia Lan was stunned, then stared at Lin Qiye, put his hands on his waist and asked: "Lin Qiye, what do you mean? Am I not worthy of helping the people of the world?"
“Don’t worry.” Lin Qiye immediately comforted him, “You can’t hide the immortality pill in your body with this thing alone. It’s better to leave it to someone who needs it more…”
After he finished speaking, Lin Qiye's gaze fell on Gong Yangwan in the corner.
Noticing Lin Qiye looking at her, Gong Yangwan frowned:
"Why should I join you and fight for all living beings? Even without [Telepathy], I can still achieve immortality."
"Don't you want your brother to be reborn?"
Hearing this, Gong Yangwan's pupils suddenly contracted. She stared at Lin Qiye and her breathing became heavy.
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, even though you swallowed Gong Yangzhu alive, his consciousness still remains in your mind, right? As long as he is not completely dead, how do you know that there is no hope of resurrection in the future?" Lin Qiye pointed at Hu Jia.
"Let's not talk about anything else. Hu Jia's [Telepathy] specifically targets the spiritual world. As long as he takes action, perhaps he can separate your brother's consciousness from your body? In this way, as long as we find a way to redirect his consciousness into a new body, there may be a possibility of rebirth."
Gong Yangwan's body began to tremble. She opened her mouth but said nothing. She simply rushed straight to Lin Qiye and snatched away the last white chess piece!
"Okay, I'll believe you this time!" Gong Yangwan pursed her lips slightly, her eyes reddened, "If you can save my brother... I can do anything!"
Huo Qubing's gaze fell on Gong Yangwan, seeming a little confused.
"In this way, our team has been initially formed." Lin Qiye glanced at everyone and took a deep breath. "Next, there is a crucial question..."
"What?"
"I am not qualified to play this game of chess."
Everyone was stunned, "???"
"What I mean is that the one playing against us is a supreme god from outside the domain who has an omniscient and all-seeing perspective... He can look at the long river of history, has the Gate of Truth at his back, and possesses nearly endless computing power and logical deduction capabilities.
Even if I can change the cause and effect and hide myself, it is impossible to defeat Him with just these. I am just a flesh and blood body, and I cannot accurately deduce the cause and effect trends that have continued for two thousand years... This kind of load is unbearable for the human brain.
I need a 'brain' that can also control cause and effect, and can accurately place each chess piece where it should be, a 'supercomputer' that can perfectly hide all traces of cause and effect and keep up with the computing power of the [Key to the Gate]. "
"Super...what chicken?" Galan licked his lips.
“That’s right. You yourself cannot be contaminated by cause and effect, and yet you want to control this chess game that spans two thousand years of history... This is simply impossible.” Yan Zhong was the only one who could keep up with Lin Qiye’s thoughts.
"What should I do? Where can I find such a smart person?" Zhan Yuwu was at a loss.
"No need to look for it."
Lin Qiye slowly raised his hands. In his field of vision, two balls of light with dense threads appeared between his palms. "The only thing that can fight against the 'rules' is the 'rules'... Cause and effect have the ability to correct themselves. They are my best substitutes."
Lin Qiye turned to look at Hu Jia, "Hu Jia, you said that you could cut off one of the abilities for me, right?"
"right."
Lin Qiye took a deep breath and extended his right hand, which was carrying the [Established Fruit], to Hu Jia.
"Help me kill it."
"Master Lin, have you made up your mind?"
“I am currently unable to bear the twins of cause and effect. Since I am destined to temporarily give up one of them, now is the best time… Cause and effect are inherently connected. Even if you cut off the [predetermined effect], I can still establish a connection with it through the [unprovoked cause].
In this way, not only can I solve the problems that my spirit cannot bear, but I can also obtain a super brain with autonomous action ability that can correct cause and effect and deduce the future for us. This is the best choice.
I control the [unprovoked cause] to create the 'chess pieces'; the other me, born from the [established result], relies on huge computing power and an absolutely calm brain to be the chess player.
He and I will each be responsible for half of the game, and this is the only way to have a chance of winning."
Seeing Lin Qiye was so persistent, Hu Jia stopped persuading him. He immediately took out the stone xun from his waist and started playing it softly.
Lin Qiye relaxed and let Hu Jia enter his spiritual world. The next moment, a huge sword shadow pierced through the sky and directly split the sun on the right!
A sharp pain surged into Lin Qiye's mind, and he bent down in agony. The pain of the forbidden ruins being forcibly stripped away made him almost suffocate. At the same time, the ball of light in his right hand gradually slipped out of his control.
At this moment, threads of cause and effect stretched out from the [Unprovoked Cause] in Lin Qiye's left hand and tied the [Determined Result] in place, like a balloon covered with wool.
Lin Qiye endured the severe pain and looked around. He had to find a new carrier for [The Destined Fruit].
Soon, he took a step and walked straight to the center of the ruined temple. With a wave of his hand, [The Destined Result] crashed into the clay Buddha statue and disappeared...
"Did it succeed?" Huo Qubing asked.
"It is considered a preliminary success... [The Fruit of Destiny] has left my body. It will take some time for it to develop self-awareness. By then, it will become a sophisticated brain that is connected to my mind but does not have emotional fluctuations. When I become a god, I will be able to absorb it back into my body."
Hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Both the cause and the effect are so powerful. Even this marquis's [Emperor of Domination] is far inferior to it." Huo Qubing sighed, "Lin Qiye, since he has become an individual closely connected to you and is also the chess player behind us...won't you give him a name?"
"What's your name..."
Lin Qiye stood up with difficulty, his eyes fixed on the clay Buddha statue. The consciousness born from the [Established Result] could not be observed by the [Key to the Door] either, so he had to create another causal "paradox" to hide this history. In this case...
"【The established result】is 'fate'...
Let’s call him, [Fate Buddha]. ”
