This will make things troublesome...
If [Key to the Gate] continues to use Migo to track, it will sooner or later discover the existence of this big chess game, and it may even involve some "chess pieces" whose causes and effects have not yet been hidden, and make the gods of the Ksus series alert.
In his mind, he suddenly recalled the ancient coffin placed in the core of Fengdu when he first met Jia Lan...
Is this the only way in the end?
The Ame-no-Murasaki sword shuttled madly among the group of Mi-gos, killing them all. Then it shook lightly, shaking off all the blood stains on the sword, and it flew back into Lin Qiye's palm.
Looking at the Migo corpses all over the ground, Lin Qiye's frown still did not relax.
"What's wrong with you?" Galan asked in confusion.
"Nothing..." Lin Qiye took a deep breath and turned to look at Jia Lan, "After we go back this time, I'll find you a job, okay?"
Hearing this, Jia Lan's eyes lit up, "Great! What kind of work? How much silver can you earn every month?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
…
Chang'an.
"You're not going back?!" Chloe said in shock in the courtyard.
"That's right." Lin Qiye nodded slightly, "You also said that the power of faith today can't teleport us back two thousand years later. In that case, we won't go back."
"Then you guys..."
“My life span is extremely long, so it won’t be a problem for me to survive until two thousand years later. As for the Black Spring…” Lin Qiye took out the bell from his arms, shook it gently, and it turned into an ancient giant bell that fell in the courtyard, making a dull sound.
"I borrowed this Donghuang Bell that can suppress time from Lingbao Tianzun. With it, I can freeze the time of Wuquan until more than two thousand years later."
Ever since Lin Qiye first met Chloe in this era and realized that there was not enough faith to send them back, he guessed that this was most likely a one-way time trip... Chloe in the future would only be responsible for sending them back, and for the remaining two thousand years, they could only move forward little by little as time flowed.
Lin Qiye himself possesses an infinite lifespan, so it is nothing for him to endure for two thousand years, but Wuquan is different.
Wuquan was born with a flaw as the [Dominating Emperor]. At his current age, he can't live more than five years at most. As for two thousand years, don't even think about it. If Wuquan can live well until two thousand years later, it has been a problem that has been bothering Lin Qiye.
But with Lingbao Tianzun sending out the Donghuang Bell, this problem was easily solved.
Wu Quan walked to the Donghuang Bell curiously and looked around carefully. The space inside the Donghuang Bell was just right to accommodate his body shape, as if it was tailor-made for him.
"I have no objection." Wuquan nodded, "As long as I can go back two thousand years, I don't care what method I use."
"There is another benefit to doing this."
Lin Qiye pointed to his chest and said, "If I want to go back, I will have to sign the same [Holy Covenant]. This will not only consume the power of faith, but also take up an opportunity to sign the [Holy Covenant].
Since we are not going back, the remaining two [Covenants] can be used for other purposes."
There are three [Holy Testaments] on Lin Qiye's chest. The first one sent them back to the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, allowing humans to survive and start this game of cause and effect... Lin Qiye doesn't know the role of the second and third ones, but there is no doubt that each [Holy Testament] is very important to humans. If you occupy a [Holy Testament] in order to go back, it will definitely be a huge loss. M..
"Have you thought about the contents of the remaining two [Covenants]?" Chloe asked.
“Not yet…” Lin Qiye shook his head. “The [Holy Covenant] is a matter of great importance. I need to think about it carefully.”
"You said before that you wanted me to conclude a [Holy Covenant] with your past self in the church 2,000 years from now, right? There's no rush. There are still 2,000 years left. You can think about it slowly."
"By the way, Jia Lan and I will be away from Chang'an for a while."
"Leaving Chang'an? Where to?"
"I'm not sure yet, but it's probably starting from Chang'an, going north to Liaodong, east to Kuaiji, south to Zhuya, west to Loulan... and finally back to Chang'an."
Chloe's mouth dropped open. "Are you going to visit all the big guys? How long will that take?"
"If it's faster, maybe a year."
Chloe's eyes fell on Jia Lan who was playing with Gong Yangzhu in the distance, and her expression suddenly became subtle.
"Will you have a child in a year?"
"You think too much." Lin Qiye said seriously, "She has been staying in Yaochi since she was born. I just want to take her out for a walk... to see this world."
"Oh? Then you will definitely bring Wuquan with you, right?"
"Well... it's not impossible..."
"Brother Qiye, I don't want to go out and play." Wuquan walked to Lin Qiye and said seriously, "I am different from you... My life is short, I want to do something meaningful."
"What is it?"
"Since you are planning to leave Chang'an, I want to go out too. I want to walk the same path that the Marquis took when he went to war, and understand his state of mind... maybe it will help me better digest what the Marquis has taught me during this period."
Looking at Wu Quan with a serious face, Lin Qiye's eyes showed surprise.
"You want to use this trip to break through your mental barrier?"
"Um."
Lin Qiye looked at Wuquan for a long time with a complicated expression, then nodded slightly.
"Okay, since you are so determined, just go for it... When the time is right, I will come to find you and seal you into the Donghuang Bell until the future."
"Then I should also set off." Chloe stretched lazily in the courtyard. "I have spent too much time in Chang'an, and my plan to establish a religion has not made any progress. It's time to set off..."
"Then after I figure out the remaining two [Covenants], how should I find you?"
Chloe thought about it, reached out and stroked the back of Lin Qiye's hand, leaving a faint mark.
"I make a promise with you. If you want to find me, write my name with this hand, and the power of the promise will teleport me here."
"no problem."
…
Several people said goodbye in the courtyard, and two hours later, a carriage slowly drove away from the bustling and noisy Chang'an City under the setting sun.
In the bumpy carriage, Jia Lan, wearing a dark blue Han Dynasty robe, sat opposite Lin Qiye. The fiery sunset cast a blush on her cheeks. She gently lowered the curtain and couldn't help but speak:
"The job you said you were going to introduce to me... is to be your accompanying maid?"
"Not a maidservant." Lin Qiye explained, "You know, I can't have causal connections with too many people, so if I go on a long journey, there must be someone to buy food for me, change horses, ask for directions, and..."
"Can't you just give this simple job to someone else?"
"What? You don't want to do it? That's fine, Yan Zhong said he knows a workshop that's still hiring..."
"Who said I won't do it!" Jia Lan immediately put his hands on his hips, "I'm already in the car, and you still want to kick me out? Let me make it clear first, I have to pay for this!"
"Don't worry, you will get the wages."
Lin Qiye smiled and leaned against the inner wall of the carriage. As the carriage swayed, the two of them gradually disappeared at the end of the fiery red horizon...
