"Strange, why is it taking so long?"
Jiang Yuan, who remained where he was, began to get impatient after waiting for a quarter of an hour. He had the urge to rush in and take a look.
"Don't worry, the teacher won't hurt Chairman Liu."
Seeing Jiang Yuan's impatient expression, Gu Anlei, who was standing to the side keeping her distance, still tried to persuade him.
"Are you so sure about your master's character?" Jiang Yuan asked from a distance.
“I naturally trust the teacher’s character!” Gu Anlei said, then frowned and added, “The teacher doesn’t allow me to call her ‘master’ now, so you’d better not address her inappropriately.”
Jiang Yuan shrugged, not arguing. People like the Companion God wouldn't get involved in too many causes and effects, so both Gu Anlei and he would handle things in a way that was beneficial to her.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, when Jiang Yuan woke up from his meditation, Liu Zhaodi was already in front of him. He didn't even realize when or how she had appeared.
"My lord, it's all settled." Liu Zhaodi held a dagger that gleamed with chaotic light, a power from the most mysterious force in the universe that mended the heavens.
"Really? She didn't make things difficult for you, did she?" Jiang Yuan got up and pulled Liu Zhaodi around to check her over, afraid that the Companion God would trip her up, since this wasn't the first time the Companion God had done something like this.
"fine."
With a wry smile, Liu Zhaodi explained, "I was just trying to reason with her. After all, she owed us before, so it's perfectly reasonable for us to borrow the Heaven-Mending Stone Sword now."
"real?"
Jiang Yuan looked on in disbelief. It wasn't that he didn't believe Liu Zhaodi, but rather that he couldn't believe the companion god would be so easy to talk to. If she were really that easy to talk to, she wouldn't have repeatedly tried to get rid of him to eradicate her inner demons.
"The Heaven-Mending Stone Sword is here, and I'm perfectly fine here. These things can't be lying, right?" Liu Zhaodi spun around happily on the spot.
Jiang Yuan's eyes remained filled with doubt, but he wasn't stupid. Liu Zhaodi's mystery even surpassed his own, so there were many things he couldn't delve into. This was the trust that should exist between husband and wife.
"Alright, let's find a safe place so we can proceed with the rest of our plan," Liu Zhaodi urged.
"Isn't this a bit too easy? It feels so strange."
"It's not like violence is the only way to solve problems. Sometimes communication is the most important thing."
"But……"
"There's no 'but' about it. She's not some monster. She's just targeting you a bit, not me."
"..."
When Jiang Yuan and his two companions left Penglai Island, the most difficult part of the plan was completed, which was also beyond Jiang Yuan's expectations. They obtained the Heaven-Mending Stone Sword and were ready to carry out the final step of the plan—slaying a god!
For seven whole days, Jiang Yuan and the other two completely disappeared from the battlefield. Even their closest confidants did not reveal a word, and An Xiaoyu was no exception.
"Sister Suxin, is the altar ready?"
In the vast sea, several figures appeared on a small island with an area of no more than 10,000 square kilometers. If this were to happen in China or even on the entire battlefield, these people would cause a huge uproar. But at this moment, they were living like ordinary people on an island completely isolated from the outside world.
"Ready!"
Gong Suxin nodded, and after speaking, she said in silence, "Are you really planning to carry out such a dangerous operation? The slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin, a consequence that neither you, Liu Zhaodi, nor I can bear."
"Ninety percent certain, and that remaining one percent!"
Jiang Yuan smiled indifferently at this point. No one knew that this body of his was only one of them, so even if he died, so what? He still had another eternal holy body with a divine spark.
"I don't know what good fortune Liu Zhaodi did in her past life to deserve you going to such lengths to help her." Gong Suxin sighed softly. In her life, no man had ever done these things for her, and of course, she didn't need to.
“She did just as much for me.” Jiang Yuan looked at the altar, which had been set up to resemble an empty space, where Liu Zhaodi was making final preparations.
His plan was simple: to have Liu Zhaodi kill him, but not literally; rather, to exploit a loophole.
From what he understood about the battlefield rules, the tens of thousands of battlefields in the universe are not interconnected, and the restrictions on living beings in a battlefield are only limited to that battlefield. This creates a loophole. Take the God of Slaughter mission as an example: if the mission target is killed outside the rules, there will be a phenomenon of asynchronous judgment. As long as the killing process is disguised perfectly enough, the mission issued by the battlefield can be completed.
Of course, this approach sounds simple, but it is extremely difficult. To break free from the battlefield's limitations, you must first refrain from cultivating the mainstream mysteries of the current battlefield. Even someone like Jiang Yuan, who possesses eternal mysteries, has broken free from the battlefield's limitations. Otherwise, the first condition cannot be met, let alone the possibility of disguising yourself as a target to obtain battlefield rewards.
Jiang Yuan and Liu Zhaodi perfectly fit the criteria in this regard; one follows the eternal path, while the other is even more mysterious, having been lucky all the way through.
In addition to breaking free from battlefield limitations, the entire plan must also meet three elements: dual souls, lethality, and disguise.
Dual souls refer to the requirement that the mission taker exist both on the battlefield and in space. Only in this way can the kill process be synchronized to the battlefield, thus gaining battlefield witness. Liu Zhaodi possesses supreme dual souls, making her more than capable of fulfilling this requirement.
Lethality refers to the actual annihilation of the target's soul, and the borrowed Heaven-Mending Stone Sword perfectly fits this condition. Furthermore, because the Heaven-Mending Stone Sword is only designed to target the Heaven-Mending Soul, Jiang Yuan's 'death' can be a perfect fake kill.
