Chapter 89: The Third Item: Copper Coin Dream Catcher
The passage of time between each other world is different.
Tai Xiao gradually realized that the few years he spent in the real world seemed like a very long time to Shen Li, who was sinking in hell.
So long that he had to take his own life.
Tai Xiao took the five internal organs belonging to the "gods" from the temple of the five internal organs.
According to the instructions on the stone tablet, he should put these things in the sealed area.
At first, Tai Xiao did want to respect Chen Li's wishes and do so.
Thus, the long-standing top-secret project Wuzangmiao was born.
Until that day, he accidentally saw the resurrected man, Ye Minglang, on the "top" list of Wuliang Express.
At that moment, he gradually understood why Shen Li was so determined to die.
That was the price he paid for manipulating the talisman to get that person back.
"Why? Why? If one of you is destined to die, why is it you?"
"I don't understand, and I don't want to accept it. He will never know what price you paid for him!"
So, Tai Xiao went against the last words that Chen Li had left on the stone tablet.
He took away the spleen that belonged to the "god" and watched it differentiate into a human form.
Once one of the five internal organs begins to differentiate, the other five organs will be in a "static" state. When they are fully differentiated into human form, the remaining five organs will decay normally.
The tribesmen who were promoted to the "Heaven" position at the same time as Tai Xiao gradually discovered clues.
They held completely different opinions from Tai Xiao. They respected the gods and were unwilling to go against the "gods'" last words.
If Shen Li's final will was to die for a long time, then the tribesmen would spare no effort to carry it out.
For the first time, internal strife broke out among the management of “Tian” level.
Tai Xiao was "expelled" and hid away with his differentiated divine spleen, briefly losing control of Wuliang Express.
On the day when the spleen completed differentiation, in order to cover up the signs of Shen Li's resurrection, Tai Xiao sent him into the real world.
But he would never have imagined that Shen Li had lost his memory after returning to the real world, and became a courier in a daze. During his first delivery mission, he met Ye Minglang again.
Obviously not in the same copy.
The heart sent by Ye Minglang should have gradually decayed with the resurrection of Chen Li.
Ye Minglang's mission was bound to fail, and he was sure that he would die there.
But because of Shen Li's intrusion, everything changed again.
The heart that should have decayed began to beat again, becoming one with the god it once was.
Things began to develop in a direction he could not have predicted. This time, the delivery mission actually allowed Ye Minglang and his team to be directly promoted to the Heavenly Position and become the new person in power.
"It's strange to say, he and I were originally going to fight to the death."
Initially, one of them was eager to regain control of Wuliang Express, while the other wanted to get rid of the old forces and gain a firm foothold in Tianwei.
Amidst the struggles and conspiracies, a reconciliation was formed unknowingly and tacitly.
Ye Minglang seemed to know something and gradually gave up the idea of getting rid of him completely, and he also had no intention of continuing to fight with Ye Minglang.
Even at this moment, Tai Xiao still couldn't accept that person.
But the moment I saw him planning for Shen Li, I had to admit that their ultimate goals were actually the same.
Let Shen Li live.
Protect him and prevent him from hurting himself in the repeated sacrifices.
As a result, the two people's ideas coincided in many aspects. Even if there was no communication from beginning to end, they became tacitly aware of what they did.
"Although I hate that person, but... tacit understanding? It's really ironic to use this word between him and me." Tai Xiao muttered to himself in a somewhat paranoid manner, and Shen Li had to interrupt him.
"Answer my question." He looked Tai Xiao straight in the eye, "Why did you use the method of burning corpses to mint coins and kill so many people?"
Perhaps it was because Chen Li's eyes were too upright that he couldn't muster up the courage to look him in the eye.
Tai Xiao lowered his head, as if recalling something particularly sad, and said painfully: "To atone for my sins."
"To atone for my sins to you, to bring you back to life, for my faith, for..."
For the unspeakable love hidden deep in his heart.
"You are different from all of us. You should not die. You deserve to live."
When Tai Xiao said this, he seemed to be more confident, and his eyes became crazy again.
"Burning corpses to make coins will certainly lead this world to gradual destruction, but Shen Li..."
Tai Xiao suddenly grabbed Shen Li's arm and said, "If the world is not destroyed, where will the savior come from?"
"Don't you understand? You are their savior! I have been waiting for you to come. Everyone is waiting for you to save them!"
"As long as you come and save them, they will regard you as a god, worship you, and believe in you."
"Faith is a good thing. You really need it, don't you?"
Having said this, Tai Xiao gradually became excited.
"Chen Li, we have escaped from the Eighteen Levels of Hell. We have come out. The world outside is huge, and there are many people outside, too many to count!"
"You can live, live high and mighty, you can continue to use magic, and no longer hurt yourself. As long as you gain enough faith, from now on, the faith of those people will be your endless source of firewood. You will continue to be omnipotent, and no one will force you to use human lives as firewood."
After hearing this, Shen Li finally understood Tai Xiao's plan.
This guy wants to destroy a world, and then let him save it before it is destroyed.
Make yourself the god of this world and harvest their faith as fuel for casting spells.
"I know your character and your temper. Yes, many people will die before this, before you come here, but so what!"
Tai Xiao has become paranoid to a certain extent, and until now, he still dares not look directly into Chen Li's eyes.
"But so what? As long as you can come back and survive, I will do all the bad things and bear all the sins."
When Tai Xiao said this, his emotions broke down again. He knelt in front of Chen Li, lowered his head and couldn't help sobbing.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't be your strength, I couldn't be your firewood at that time. I just wanted you to be alive, but why did you kill yourself for that kind of person..."
Do you know that after leaving hell, I finally saw the sun that you once showed me.
Do you know that after learning of your death, I no longer dared to look up at the sunrise and sunset, and I didn’t even have the courage to walk in the sun.
The sun has risen, but the person I believe in is gone.
Chen Li lowered his head and raised his hand hesitantly. Seeing his painful look, he wanted to comfort him, but his hand never fell on his head.
"Tai Xiao."
Chen Li called his name seriously, "I am not as great as you think, and I don't want to be high and mighty. I just want to be an ordinary person, so don't hurt others in the name of me anymore, and don't do such evil things anymore."
Tai Xiao had anticipated what Shen Li would say.
He remained in the prostrate position, but he restrained his emotions a little and stopped crying.
"This world is right here. It's up to you to save it or not."
He knew that Shen Li didn't like being threatened and forced, but today, he had to use this method to make him make a choice.
"I have already paved the way for you. You can choose not to save people, which will only lead to more deaths."
Tai Xiao raised his head and mustered up the courage to look him in the face. "If the price of resurrecting Ye Minglang is your own life, and you are still alive, one gains while the other loses. If you don't want these beliefs, how long can he live?"
Tai Xiao has already made these words very clear.
If the price of resurrecting Ye Minglang was initially Shen Li's own life, then he would have to exchange the remaining price with something else.
Tai Xiao knew him too well, and he knew that Chen Li would not let the people he cared about die again.
"Don't think about sacrificing yourself for him again. I told you that you must stay alive. Besides, you can't completely kill yourself, right?"
He would never allow such a thing to happen a second time.
"I'll give you some time to think about it. Tell me the answer tomorrow morning."
Before leaving, Tai Xiao warned him again, "Don't forget, your other partners are still in my hands."
I've already left, so why not threaten Chen Li with other people's lives?
Shen Li is a little confused now.
As soon as Tai Xiao left, someone quickly decorated the cell to be as luxurious as a palace.
People who were setting up the place were coming and going very quickly, and some of them couldn't help but look up at him.
"What a strange person."
"He has been sitting there motionless for a long time. Why would the Imperial Master treat such a person differently?"
The guards whispered about him, but Shen Li remained silent and sat there with his eyes closed.
After Tai Xiao told him this, he began to recall how much Ye Minglang was involved in these things.
In the book world of Notes from a Deserted City, he and Ye Minglang met for the first time.
At that time, Ye Minglang had just been promoted and was probably still fighting openly and secretly with Tai Xiao for power.
Starting from the Orange Town Candy Store, he began to inexplicably gain the faith of a large number of people.
At that time, a series of events happened that changed the attitude of his teammate Blind Man. Not only did he show loyalty to him, but after leaving, he would occasionally go back and swear to defend the beliefs of Orange Town for him.
And recently... Ye Minglang and Zao Wu personally led a group of people to complete the "Five Internal Organs" mission, carrying the rotten God's Lungs and those who once surrounded him: Song Buyu, Red Hair, Li Dangxin, the blind man...
The Wu Zang Temple mission is fake, as the monster box contains the rotten internal organs of the gods. However, once this delivery mission is completed, the points awarded will remain unchanged, and those who participate in the mission will definitely be promoted.
He wants to promote everyone who once surrounded him to the heavenly level!
