The merit bottle is entirely golden and so light it feels like nothing.
Jiang Si didn't doubt the truth of the matter; someone with such abilities would have no reason to lie to her.
"Why give me the merit bottle? Are you being so kind as to let me ascend to immortality?" But Jiang Si didn't believe there was such a great bargain in the world.
“I don’t know either. That’s what the True Ancestor instructed me to do.” Fu Qingtong shrugged. “Oh, and one last thing: this world cannot bear such great merit as the Jade Emperor. The day the True Dragon awakens will be the day the merit bottle breaks. At that time, all the merit will vanish into nothingness. I hope Master Jiang will think it over carefully.”
The implication is that Jiang Si should use the bottle as soon as she gets it, otherwise she will lose both herself and the bottle, and will have to be buried with it in this world.
Jiang Si did not comment on this. "May I take a look at the dragon's head?"
Ling Qingtong's eyes flickered, and she smiled gently: "No."
Inside the barrier, Jiang Si could clearly see that the dragon's head seemed to be breathing faintly, and its whiskers were moving slightly.
"Then give us a date to die, when will the true dragon awaken?" Jiang Si didn't insist, and instead asked, "I don't think your true ancestor would be stingy with this question, would he?"
However, Ling Qingtong still smiled and gently shook her head.
Jiang Si gritted her teeth. It seemed that the crucial matter was something that Lao so-called True Ancestor wouldn't utter a single word about.
Given the vast disparity in strength between them and their enemy, Jiang Si had no intention of engaging in a direct confrontation.
"Thank you then." Jiang Si took the bottle and left.
Back home, Jiang Si locked herself in her room.
On the left is the Thunderclap Wood, and on the right is the Merit Bottle.
If all the merit bottles are poured onto the Thunderclap Tree, the Thunderclap Tree will grow into a truly towering tree, and Jiang Si's ascension will be within easy reach.
This was something she was dedicated to her entire life.
Now it's right in front of her.
One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand. Our ancestors ascended to heaven by treading through countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
As long as one can give up this world, one can fulfill their lifelong wish.
Jiang Si stared at these two things for a very long time, until Qi Yan came to find her after school.
Qi Yan is really like a student now, especially with Grandpa Li Jianshan, he's almost becoming a model student in the city.
Jiang Si packed her things away and opened the door.
Qi Yan peered inside. "What are you doing? You finally come back to your new home, and you're hiding in your room?"
After Jiang Si's villa was destroyed, she moved to the house next door.
Qi Yan and She Zhang also moved there, making their home closer to Li Jianshan's.
Jiang Si patted Qi Yan's rat head.
"It's nothing," Jiang Si said calmly.
The merit bottle inside the Qiankun Bag felt incredibly heavy at that moment.
Guan Qian asked Jiang Si if she had discovered anything during her trip.
"Yes, the true dragon's body should be scattered in various places. When the true dragon's soul awakens, the body will inevitably reunite, and that will be our disaster."
Guan Qian replied, "We already know that."
In the past two days, reports of unusual activity have been frequently submitted from various places.
This is just breathing that can cause such a disturbance; who knows what kind of storm it would cause if it turned over?
“We have located the body,” Guan Qian said, pointing to the map. “Besides a few deserted areas, there are still a few places inhabited by a small number of people.”
What they need to do now is to settle these people in.
Let's not let these people finish before everyone else has finished playing together.
If it were a simple turn or a sneeze, it wouldn't be impossible for it to cause an earthquake.
Guan Qian only needed to report these matters to his superiors, and someone would naturally take action.
There will definitely be rumors about a large-scale migration of people.
[No way, with science these days, earthquakes can be predicted days in advance?]
Yes, you're moving too. My family's house was demolished, and they've already arranged a new place for us.
[Holy crap, I was born in the wrong family! Why is it that my family got compensation for land expropriation, while mine was affected by an earthquake?]
[Guessing XX city? But we haven't had an earthquake here since records started, have we? How did you detect that?]
[Just listen, what else can you do? The army has been mobilized, how can we not move them?]
I suspect the earthquake was fake; they're probably doing some kind of research inside. In short, I'm proud to contribute to my country.
There are all sorts of opinions online.
Fortunately, under deliberate control, no major disturbances occurred.
Anyway, once you've given people enough confidence, they naturally won't have any objections.
Ordinary people might not have any thoughts about it, but Li Jianshan and Guan Qingchen are different. Having spent a lot of time with Jiang Si, their sensitivity is much higher than others.
"Master, has something happened recently?"
The current situation is known only to high-ranking officials in the Special Affairs Department, and has been classified as top secret to avoid causing panic.
"No, you're overthinking it. At most, there might be some kind of evil spirit there," Jiang Si casually made up.
Telling them wouldn't do any good.
Guan Qian and other senior executives are trying to come up with a solution.
However, when Qin Zhi came to see Jiang Si, he seemed to know everything.
Once Li Jianshan and Guan Qingchen were gone, Qin Zhi cut to the chase: "I already know."
"This calamity is inescapable for humanity; do not think of making a pointless sacrifice." No matter how powerful they are, they are still human. This is a calamity for humanity, and even if they wanted to help, they are powerless to do so.
For Qin Zhi, if the human world is gone, he can go to the demon realm.
They stayed in the demon realm for even longer.
“But if I run away with you, what about the others?” Jiang Si asked Qin Zhi.
Qin Zhi has little connection with the mortal world, but Jiang Si is different; she has been in the mortal realm for much longer.
“I can’t watch them die.”
"But what can you do?" Qin Zhi asked sternly, "You are a human being, not a god!"
"If you want to ascend, then hurry up and ascend. Just ask the Thunder God to strike three thunderbolts occasionally to let us know you're safe. Otherwise, come with me to the Demon Realm. Your mother is there anyway."
Qin Zhi had already planned out his escape route.
Life may be interesting, but his life is still the most important thing.
Jiang Si did not answer Qin Zhi's question.
She herself couldn't figure out what to do.
When Guan Qian arrived at the Special Affairs Department, his hair turned white in just a few days.
His eyes were bloodshot; he probably hadn't slept for several days.
Jiang Si said, "Even if you endure this, there might not be a solution."
Guan Qian gave a wry smile. "What else can we do? We can't all just go down together, can we?"
Jiang Si knew that Guan Qian still had ways to avoid his own demise.
However, he holds a position of power and bears the responsibility of serving the people; he cannot simply abandon it.
Moreover, how could someone who sits in this position not have the people in their heart?
"Do you have any ideas?" Guan Qian asked.
"Do you remember when we burned a hole in the barrier underground with True Flame?" Jiang Si said.
Guan Qian gestured for Jiang Si to continue.
"I have seen the dragon head, which lives by the water. Moreover, many of the places where this strange movement occurred are near major rivers. If we gather all five elements of fire in the world, it might be possible."
