Chapter 226: Little Pearl, I Don’t Blame You (Two in One)
The "Tan Yuan" force to which the player belongs is very mysterious in the original game, with an ancient heritage. It only appears in times of troubled times and disappears at other times.
But in Gu Fangchen's current view, these unknown information all have clear directions.
The unsolved puzzles beyond the ending represent the clues provided by the "preachers" to Gu Fangchen.
Therefore, the existence of the player's perspective also represents the power of a preacher.
And behind it should be "Balance and Normality".
This is why Ning Caiyong said that "Master Hengchang" chose Gu Fangchen.
In other words, "Master Hengchang Dao" was also a preacher, but judging from the information left by Ning Caiyong before he left, some preachers discovered that "Dao" was a parasite and chose to fight against it.
What Gu Fangchen heard and saw at that time was the process of preaching.
The so-called true ending that Gu Fangchen had played out should actually be a bad ending, which means that the player has also become a new preacher, and may have taken over the "Tao" of "Master Hengchang".
Therefore, the props from "Tan Yuan" actually come from the preacher.
As we all know, it takes magic to defeat magic.
Gu Fangchen still didn't know what abilities the preacher who occupied Gu Yuandao's body had, but he was certain that the other party definitely did not have the power beyond the rules of this world.
Otherwise, there would be no need to follow him all the way.
However, this guy's current realm of strength is at least on par with the State Master, so he must not act rashly and must wait for the most appropriate time.
Although [Blood Substitute Boy] only needs one explicit condition to be effective.
That requires the blood of the two people who are to be cast in the spell. As long as the blood of the two is smeared on the porcelain doll, the spell that replaces the cause and effect of the two can be activated.
That's what Gu Fangchen did at the beginning. He switched the cause and effect between himself and the fifth-grade master controlled by Ning Songjun, and transferred the fatal injury that was sure to kill him to the other party.
Now, how similar the situation is.
Gu Fangchen happened to have Gu Yuandao's blood on his hands.
However, the causal relationship that the [Blood Substitute Boy] can bear is ultimately limited. Killing a second-grade one is the limit, and there is only one chance to use it.
He originally wanted to use it to deal with Gu Yuye and Gu Yuandao, but he didn't expect that it would become a weapon against this preacher.
But this alone cannot completely kill the preacher.
The cause and effect replaced by Gu Yuandao's blood is naturally Gu Yuandao's, not the person who possessed him.
Otherwise, Ning Songjun would have died immediately.
Therefore, Gu Fangchen deliberately angered Prajna Lianyue, making her attack him and destroy his physical body again.
On the one hand, the injury needs to be fatal enough, and on the other hand, it is to divert the preacher's attention and trick him into the Garuda ruins. Using the formation that seals the ruins, the preacher's cause and effect can be sealed, so that he is completely bound in this body!
The reason why people in the world cannot find Garuda is because of this large formation that relies on the "Boundless Spring".
And this formation must have reached the first grade.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to make the entire Garuda seem to have completely disappeared from this world.
Only such a formation can completely seal off a cultivator whose strength is infinitely close to the first rank.
It was at this moment that Gu Fangchen understood why Maha Wuliang had said that his death was a worthy one, "because of the celestial dial."
It is difficult to control a first-grade formation immediately using normal methods.
Even though this formation is now in ruins, it is still of genuine first-class quality.
Therefore, he will use the "Wangyin Dial" as the center of the formation, first arrange the second-grade "Heavenly Dao Return to Truth" formation, reverse the cause and effect, give this first-grade formation the result of a certain activation, and then reverse the effect to cause, forcibly deduce the spiritual pattern, and drive it.
But then again, with his current level of Shinto cultivation, it is not enough to set up a second-grade formation.
So, he needed another springboard.
This springboard is the 108 demon-suppressing nails in his body.
The Demon-Suppressing Nail itself is a good material for the formation. Only in this way can a body with an extremely high upper limit be created, and only then can the second-grade puppet "Yuebai Gong" be created.
The essence of "refining magic" is to condense the spiritual energy into a formation in the body, simulating the operation of the meridians and dantian. The spiritual energy is not absorbed but "sealed".
So, if this "magic refining" is expanded, it will be a formation that can absorb a huge amount of spiritual energy.
When Gu Fangchen absorbed the fire spirit energy from the mining protection formation, he was actually far from reaching the upper limit of his "magic refining", but only the upper limit of his physical body.
Gu Fangchen's original body could not support such a huge amount of spiritual energy.
"Then let's abandon the body."
The moment Prajna Lianyue took action, Gu Fangchen released the "demon's nest" made of demon-suppressing nails in his body.
One hundred and eight golden rays scattered in all directions, piercing through the illusory lotus petals. The blood and golden threads were entangled, like wind and clouds.
Densely packed like longitude and latitude, in mid-air, a bloody and fleshy hole spread outward from the center. Every inch of it was wriggling slightly, and finally gathered into a rhythm like a heartbeat, like a hatching demon.
"boom!"
The entire Garuda has been sealed for five hundred years, but its past prosperity still retains a huge amount of spiritual energy.
At this moment, all of this spiritual energy was absorbed by the holes in the flesh and blood, like a whale swallowing, and condensed together in the blink of an eye.
This is the first springboard.
Afterwards, these spiritual energies entered the "Wangyin Tiandial" and, using it as the center of the formation, launched the "Return to the True Nature of Heaven". As a universal key, it forcibly activated the formation that sealed the entire Garuda.
This time, the target of the formation was the preacher in Gu Yuandao's body.
However, if the keys do not match, the consequence of forcibly opening the door will naturally be that the key will break along with it.
"Crack..."
Cracks appeared on the "Wangyin Dial", indicating that it was about to collapse.
The huge and complex formation covered the sky and the earth, and was rapidly shrinking towards Luo Song's location.
"not good!"
Luo Song's face suddenly changed and he immediately turned and flew towards the exit.
Since the formation can seal the entire Garuda, it can naturally seal him who is only at the second level of cultivation.
In a flash, he reached the stone gate, but the formation had already completely blocked the entrance.
"I say, this door should be opened!"
Luo Song shouted loudly, stretched out his hands and spread them apart.
This is a magical power that can only be performed by a second-rank Confucian. "Words become reality." Even for a second-rank Confucian, the consumption of this magical power is still huge.
The greater the cause and effect, the greater the consumption.
And now, Luo Song had to fight against a first-grade formation, so naturally his spiritual power was drained almost instantly.
But the effect is also very significant.
The stone gate, which had been completely silent, suddenly opened up a white void crack, and with Luo Song's movements, it split to both sides.
Luo Song couldn't wait for the two to separate completely, and with a thought, he flashed towards it, trying to pass through the crack.
But it's too late!
Luo Song rushed forward, and only felt a trace of spatial force passing through his body, then he hit nothing and stopped in mid-air.
His face looked grim, and when he raised his head, the sealing formation had completely turned into a prison, enveloping him.
His cause and effect are sealed in this body!
All this happened in the blink of an eye.
In other words, this is what happened when Gu Fangchen's body was on the verge of death, and when the formation was completed, his body also headed towards death.
At the same time, Prajna Lianyue also reacted and discovered Luo Song's presence, and her pupils shrank instantly.
Gu Yuandao?
No, it's impossible. Gu Yuandao is only at the fifth rank, and the aura of this guy is stronger than hers!
This span of cultivation is too outrageous, and unlike Gu Fangchen, which seems exaggerated, in fact, every step has a traceable path.
How could Gu Yuandao suddenly reach three major realms after just a month of facing the wall and reflecting on his mistakes?!
Even if someone were to take over another's body, such a thing wouldn't be possible!
In a flash, Prajna Lianyue loosened her hand, and the lotus petals in the air slowly dissipated, and a porcelain doll stained with blood fell down.
Two extremely strange blushes suddenly appeared on the porcelain doll's face, and a smile appeared on its chubby face.
"Blood Substitution Technique", activated!
Luo Song's eyebrows twitched, and in an instant he felt the power coming from the same dimension as them.
Ning Songjun couldn't understand this power at first, but Luo Song was very familiar with it.
This [Blood Substitute Boy] possesses the principle of "Heng Chang"!
The principle of "balancing the norms" also includes transactions and exchanges.
The exchange of cause and effect is naturally included!
Luo Song felt the force pressing down his eyelids, forcing him to blink.
He knew that if he really blinked, the next moment, his injuries would be exchanged with Gu Fangchen's.
"Gu! Fang! Chen! ...Don't even think about it!!!"
Luo Song tried his best to resist the "blood replacement technique". His eyes were bloodshot and covered with bloodshot. He raised his head and looked at Gu Fangchen's soul in the air, his face distorted.
"We are the Great Dao, the eternal and universal law. How could we fear a mere death?!"
"You want to use the power of Heng Chang to exchange cause and effect. Let's see if you can bear it!"
He knew that the formation was complete and there was nothing he could do to reverse the situation, but he had only one mission, which was to send Gu Fangchen to his death.
If he didn't know the effect of this "blood substitution technique", he would definitely be tricked by Gu Fangchen when he was caught off guard.
But this time, Luo Song understood.
Therefore, his idea was very simple. Since he could not turn the situation around at this moment, he would die together with Gu Fangchen.
As long as he committed suicide directly at the moment of exchange, then Gu Fangchen's exchange this time would be death for death, and his plan would fail!
Luo Song put two fingers together and tapped his own forehead with lightning speed.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Spiritual power surged out, instantly destroying his upper, middle and lower dantian, and then the meridians in his body exploded, and blood splattered down like mist.
Luo Song's soul was extinguished in the blink of an eye, and all the vital parts of his body exploded at the same time, leaving him deader than dead.
His vision dimmed instantly, and the moment he closed his eyes, the strange porcelain doll appeared before his eyes.
In the distance in the air.
Gu Fangchen's spirit was expressionless as he watched him commit suicide without any change on his face.
Not afraid, nor surprised.
Prajna Lianyue, who was originally planning to take action, witnessed this scene and frowned. Her heart, which was originally shrouded in murderous intent, was suddenly filled with doubt.
Gu Fangchen isn't someone who would easily accept his fate...
From the first time she met this person, she knew that Gu Fangchen could plan ten steps ahead and easily control other people.
Therefore, she wanted to take advantage of Gu Fangchen's unpreparedness and suddenly attack and kill him.
But unexpectedly, judging from the sudden appearance of "Gu Yuandao", Gu Fangchen had already calculated her murderous intentions.
From what "Gu Yuandao" said, Gu Fangchen wanted to use his fatal injury to trick "Gu Yuandao".
So, would he not have thought of "Gu Yuandao's" suicide?
Why did he not react at all when the other person committed suicide...
When doubts and vigilance arose in Prajna Lianyue's heart.
Gu Fangchen also felt the effect of the "blood replacement technique". He turned around, smiled at her, and shook his head.
"Xiao Mingzhu, I don't blame you."
In an instant.
Prajna Lianyue's expression froze and her whole body shook violently.
Her real name is Mingzhu, and no one else in the world knows this.
Everything about her past was sealed for five hundred years along with the great formation that covered the entire Garuda.
Even the law of cause and effect cannot interfere.
Even if Xu Fu were to calculate, he wouldn't be able to figure out what exactly happened five hundred years ago, let alone her real name.
How did Gu Fangchen know?
The thought that had once flashed through Prajna Lianyue's mind now surfaced again.
"I know very well...you are actually not Prajna Lianyue at all, right?"
"I feel like the princess is familiar, and I want to confirm a certain mark..."
“The moon is brighter in my hometown…”
"It's late at night, the dew is heavy. Let's go back. When everything is over, we can have a long talk all night..."
This moment.
The scorching wind above the Garuda sky seemed to stagnate, becoming very slow, and all sounds faded away.
Prajna Lianyue felt dizzy and heard herself asking in a trembling voice:
"Who are you?! Who on earth are you?! How do you know this name?!"
Gu Fangchen looked at her suddenly red eyes and shrugged:
"Actually, your last name should be Gu, but I died too early and you were too young."
Prajna Lianyue was stunned.
Her whole body was numb and her breathing seemed to be burning. Seeing that Gu Fangchen's soul began to blur, she finally came back to her senses and rushed forward with all her strength.
"don't want!!!"
Prajna Lianyue stretched out her hand, but grabbed nothing, and watched Gu Fangchen's soul dissipate.
The "blood substitution technique" took effect in the blink of an eye, and Gu Fangchen and Luo Song exchanged their lives and both died.
Prajna Lianyue fell to the ground, looking at her empty palms, her body stiff, her face half crying and half laughing, she murmured:
"Dad... Daddy."
What did she do?
If Gu Yuandao had not suddenly appeared, she would have killed Gu Fangchen with her own hands.
After five hundred years, the person she thought she was going to resurrect was actually right in front of her, but she was always thinking about how to kill him!
Prajna Lianyue suddenly staggered to her feet, flew up, and frantically searched among the ruins for the "Wangyin Dial" that had fallen down because the formation had completed its mission.
"Daddy...wait for me, I will revive you, I will definitely revive you!"
Holding the almost broken stone, she walked towards the "Boundless Spring". Seeing the red bloodstains in the river, she was stunned again, and then tears flowed uncontrollably, dripping onto the stone.
