Chapter 464 Where is the Road?
The six matrices in the Cinder system have different shapes.
The unified matrix of soul and flesh is a ball of light in black and white, shaped like a Tai Chi mixture.
The light ball is about ten meters in diameter and is currently being held in one hand by the Primordial Lord, like a walnut in his palm, being played with at will.
There was a surge of demonic energy ahead, and the Demon Palace stood like a pagoda in front of the original master.
Ibira has revealed its eight-headed true form, its massive body wrapped around the exterior of the Demon Palace like a tower-guarding beast, its eight heads spitting out venom at the Primordial Overlord.
Near the Demon Palace, Lu, Zhao, Dian, Ma and other generals were panting and looking solemn.
The confrontation seemed to be inconclusive, but in fact it was just that the original master was afraid of the King of Kings.
Being enemies with this former Six Pillars, even generals like Lu Zhao felt immense pressure and narrowly escaped death several times.
Just when the Nth round of battle was about to be staged again, Xia Lin's divine transformation technique came from afar and silently merged into the body of the original master.
Then, the original ruler who seemed to be absorbing the energy from the unified matrix of soul and flesh suddenly solidified.
"I have a question... No, no, no, I actually have several questions, and I can't get them all out."
The original master is inside the body and in the space of consciousness.
The huge and mighty ancient demon soul, which was also the soul of the old master, spoke in a deep voice and asked questions to the purple egg-shaped soul in front of it.
Soon, the voice of the original dark side will sounded from the egg-shaped soul.
"Now is not the time for you to ask questions. We are fighting."
"No, no, no, now is the time for me to ask questions. I've been holding these questions in for far too long... And can these enemies really pose a threat to us?"
The Old Master's tone began to grow impatient.
By nature, he has a bad temper and his brain is not very good. He often makes decisions that backfire and his left brain attacks his right brain.
Mr. Zhuge was right when he described him as a god.
And Xia Lin's divine transformation technique is actually not omnipotent - the original master is not afraid of Xia Lin's divine transformation technique. The reason is that the gap in strength between the two sides is too great.
However, at this moment, the divine transformation technique played the role of "initiator": a slight hook triggered a chain reaction.
Without waiting for the original dark will to respond, the Old Ones had already spoken.
"The first problem is our current location."
"Why did we come to the Soul-Flesh Unified Matrix?"
The response of the original dark will was the same as before: "We must control all six matrices in order to fully master the Cinder System. After obtaining the Cinder System, with this treasure to protect us, you and I will have a chance of survival even if we face the Six Pillars of the Past."
The Old Lord slapped his cheeks hard, his eyes slowly became bloodshot, and he looked like he was about to go berserk.
"That's not what I'm asking! Not that!"
"What I'm asking is why the first target is the Soul-Flesh Unified Matrix!"
"The Limit Breakthrough Matrix is my authority! I have a feeling that once I completely recover it, my strength will be greatly restored. It won't be as strong as before, but it will at least be much stronger than it is now! So why isn't the Limit Breakthrough Matrix my first target? Why isn't it your fake, constructed matrix?!"
The original dark will fell silent.
He couldn't answer this question.
However, after the former master of the gods and men gained the benefit of the gods and men's mutation technique, it seemed as if two negatives made a positive, and his clever IQ took the upper hand again.
"You're plotting against me, aren't you?"
"You don't want me to obtain the Limit Breakthrough Matrix and further enhance my strength."
"For this reason, you don't even dare to take the Fake Matrix... After all, your original body has disappeared in the Dark Realm. You are not complete. Maybe taking the Fake Matrix wouldn't mean much to you, right?"
The Primal Dark Will suddenly shouted angrily: "With such a powerful enemy at hand, you really want to talk to me about this!?"
The Old One continued to speak: "The Soul-Flesh Unification Matrix may be able to produce such an effect on us... allowing your soul to merge more deeply with my body. I even seriously suspect that your target is not the Ash Zone system at all, but me! You want to occupy my body!!"
This inference is quite reasonable.
Having two souls in one body always causes more disadvantages than advantages.
Moreover, who wouldn’t be envious of the Old Lord’s strongest body in the universe?
Without giving the Original Dark Will time to explain, the Old One continued to speak. He could no longer suppress his anger, and his voice grew louder and louder, almost like a roar.
"Second question! The original Dark Side body is gone! Gone! Why the hell don't you get out of my body! This is my body! Mine!!"
The original dark side entity was sealed into a crystal entity by the King of Kings.
Therefore, after that, the Original Dark Will was no longer hunted by the main body - the purple energy that came across space had stopped long ago... Otherwise, the Original Overlord would be like a big light bulb, with no room to hide and cause trouble.
And this second question really hits the nail on the head.
You once helped me break the impasse, and I lent you my body. It’s good for both of us to work together.
Now that you are out of danger, you are still refusing to leave. What's the meaning of this?!
Previously, the original dark will used several sets of rhetoric to stabilize the Old Ones, but this could not change the fundamental logic of the matter.
The divine transformation technique has now aroused the suspicion of the old master, and if the cards are revealed again at this moment, the contradiction can no longer be suppressed.
"Give it back to me...Give my body back to me!"
In the soul space of the original master, the old master could no longer hold back.
The strong body leads to a simultaneous increase in the strength of the soul, which makes the soul strength of the Old Ones extremely terrifying!
The moment he made a move, it was like the collapse of heaven and the split of earth.
However, long before the Old Ones launched their attack, the original dark will had already turned into light and disappeared, leaving behind only a long sigh.
"pity……"
Outside, the body of the Primordial Overlord began to tremble.
Under the gazes of Lu Zhao, Ibira and others, the pale purple egg-shaped soul separated from the body of the Original Overlord and disappeared in the blink of an eye like a flickering light, and no one knew where it went.
Just as the old master's eyelids twitched and he was about to take back control of his body, Mr. Zhuge's voice suddenly rang in the ears of Lu Zhao and Ibira.
"Leave this place and follow the plan!"
…
Xia Lin didn't know what the plan was.
After he finished performing the Divine Transformation Technique, he waited quietly and soon saw Mr. Zhuge taking action again.
He took a step forward, clenched the extreme breakthrough matrix in the shape of a fist, and light flashed on his body, and his aura instantly increased.
I don’t know what specific operations Mr. Zhuge performed, but he took off the limit breakthrough matrix that was closely connected to the metal base and held it in his arms.
He looked at Xia Lin again.
"One last favor, please do us a favor and break the rules of this place and open a virtual ember zone at random."
Xia Lin vaguely realized Mr. Zhuge's intention, but he did not doubt or hesitate. He used his mental power to make a long sword and swung it with one hand, and a long and narrow space crack was opened.
Mr. Zhuge threw the Limit Breakthrough Matrix into it without saying a word.
Soon, the Limit Breakthrough Matrix disappeared.
At this point, Mr. Zhuge smiled and clapped his hands.
"It's done! Mission successful, we can leave now."
Xia Lin was confused: "What do you mean it's over now?"
Mr. Zhuge waved his feather fan and smiled without saying a word.
Before Xia Lin could continue asking, the surrounding space trembled even more violently.
It was as if a peerless ferocious beast was rushing through the main part of the entire Cinder Zone system. A faint sound came from afar and fell into Xia Lin's ears.
"My...my power! That is my power, my authority!!"
The roar became more and more intense, but when it reached its climax, it suddenly subsided.
Clear spatial fluctuations spread in all directions, seemingly foreshadowing the end of the ferocious beast called the Old Ones—he pursued the limit to break through the matrix and fell into a virtual Cinders copy.
Mr. Zhuge then responded to Xia Lin's words with a smile.
"Well, that's it."
He took Xia Lin's hand and walked away with her.
Xia Lin led the way and Mr. Zhuge took the lead. Soon, the two arrived in front of the unified matrix of soul and flesh.
This place was just the battlefield between everyone and the Original Overlord. Now that the Original Overlord has left, there are still people here.
It's Ibira.
The Demon Palace disappeared, and it was unknown whether it was sent back by Ibira or swallowed by him.
This Yamata no Orochi was entwined in the unified matrix of soul and flesh, and bits of light flowed between it and the unified matrix of soul and flesh, as if fusion or absorption.
"This is……"
Xia Lin vaguely understood some of it, but not completely.
Mr. Zhuge just smiled and set off again with Xia Lin, and soon arrived in front of the fake matrix.
There is also someone here!
It was Lu Bu who had just finished the battle!
Xia Lin's eyes flashed with understanding, but he still didn't dare to jump to conclusions.
Mr. Zhuge then took Xia Lin to the next place.
In the time-space matrix, the divine general Zhao Yun sat cross-legged on the ground with a spear between his knees.
He also interacted with the time-space matrix, as if carefully sensing the mysteries contained within this matrix.
In front of the causal matrix, Wumian, who had transformed into the King of Kings, closed his eyes and sensed the situation, which was not interrupted by the arrival of Xia Lin and Mr. Zhuge.
In front of the self-circulating matrix, Zhou Xinglin and Zhang Hai, who had not appeared before, shared the same matrix and did not disturb each other.
Mr. Zhuge took another step and raised his leg, and Xia Lin swung his sword to clear the way.
Soon, the two returned to the starry pre-war preparation space, and Wang Laowu had already finished fighting with the evil god transformers and had been waiting for a long time.
At this point, Mr. Zhuge finally revealed the final answer to the mystery.
"This is the road leading to the Six Pillars. It is also the most conspicuous and fastest road after the Six Pillars are out of place."
Xia Lin breathed a sigh of relief, understanding what was going on.
"One plan, multiple purposes."
Mr. Zhuge waved his feather fan and laughed heartily, "That's exactly the point! Whether it's us or the Primordial Overlord, we're all playing a game with multiple agendas!"
"That original dark consciousness wants to kill you here. It's true, and that's one of its purposes."
"He wants to take the Cinder Zone system as the real one, which is also one of his goals."
"But his ultimate goal is to obtain the authority left behind by the six pillars of the Cinder Zone system's six matrices... This would not only resolve the issue of compatibility between his own body and that of the Old Overlord, but perhaps also allow him to usurp the Old Overlord's body, expel their soul, and resolve the hidden danger of dual souls within one body. He could even gain insights and inspiration from the matrices, standing on the shoulders of giants and quickly returning to his position as one of the six pillars."
"After all, there's only one vacant position among the six pillars right now... but there are a ton of contenders. Whoever can grab the Cinder Zone system will have the upper hand."
Xia Lin thought of Lu Zhao Wumian and the others he had just met, and nodded suddenly: "You are here for this too..."
Mr. Zhuge shrugged slightly. "What else? This is a shortcut. Who wouldn't want it?"
After saying this, Mr. Zhuge clapped his hands with his fan and said, "Lü Zhao, Faceless Ibira, Zhang Hai, Zhou Xinglin, and the Old Ones—the seven of you are competing fairly. It all depends on chance and ability. Whoever comprehends the inner mysteries first will achieve the position of the Six Pillars first. This is very reasonable."
"As for my plan to drive the Old Ones into the Virtual Ash Zone, it also solved a major problem. It was a form of suppression and sealing of the Old Ones. Testing one's understanding and fate to see who can achieve the Six Pillars first is safer than engaging in open combat with the Old Ones."
Mr. Zhuge then explained a few more sentences and concluded.
"In short, look beyond the surface and see the essence."
"The fundamental problem has always been centered on that vacant column."
"In the current main universe, whoever achieves this pillar first will be able to crush everything and decide everything. This is the core and source of everything."
"And the Cinder Zone System is the first and fastest path to the Six Pillars!"
At this point, Mr. Zhuge sighed again, "It's a shame that the original dark will was quick-witted and has already left the Cinders system and fled to who knows where. Otherwise, he would have become our prisoner."
This round sealed the Old Ones in disguise, but failed to take down the original dark will.
"But it's not a big problem. Without the body of the Old Lord, this beast is just a toothless cat."
After saying that, Mr. Zhuge clasped his fists towards Xia Lin and Wang Yanlin.
"This matter is settled. I will take my leave."
Turn around and leave.
…
When Xia Lin and Wang Yanlin walked out of the entrance to the Cinder Zone and returned to the Flashing Blue Star, the entrance to the Cinder Zone behind them slowly disappeared as they left.
Looking at the snow-covered land behind him, Xia Lin's eyes were dim, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Until Wang Yanlin gently patted Xia Lin on the shoulder.
"Now that the trouble is solved, it's time for us to go home."
"Home? Which home?"
"Lin Kingdom, the Imperial Palace, our home?"
Xia Lin sighed softly, shook his head and stamped his feet.
"You go back, I'll let it go. That's your home, this is my home."
Wang Yanlin was such a smart person that he immediately understood Xia Lin's thoughts from his tone and expression.
His expression straightened, and he said softly, "Mr. Zhuge didn't deliberately hide this from you, let alone me... I had no prior knowledge of their plans. I was just a mouthpiece."
He scratched his head and said, "Besides, who knew you were such a monster? This fight between the six pillars was all orchestrated by those fake six pillars. They never wanted to play with us from the beginning."
Wang Yanlin thought Xia Lin was angry because he didn't get any benefits.
Xia Lin smiled and said, "Oh, you really underestimate me."
Xia Lin was not originally a member of the core circle of the King of Kings, the Soul-controlling Demon Emperor, and the Super Star. It was reasonable that he did not gain any benefits at the moment.
What's more, solving the problem of the original overlord is the biggest benefit itself.
Having said this, Xia Lin sighed softly and continued, "I just suddenly realized that my vision is still too narrow..."
"Look, those with truly great ambitions are all striving for the Six Pillars, while I'm still dwelling on grudges and revenge."
After being promoted to level 12, Xia Lin's strength has indeed increased rapidly, but grudges are still the main theme of Xia Lin's actions.
The internal strife among the eight sons of the Wang family spread to the original master.
When this game was briefly paused, Xia Lin realized that others did not care much about grudges and were all working towards the six pillars.
The first path is the Jhin Matrix.
The current slots have already been fully occupied by the pioneers.
The first mover still maintains the first mover advantage.
"And I, a latecomer, can't even see the road ahead..."
How to achieve six pillars?
How to achieve Shadow Pillar?
At this moment, Xia Lin still has no clue.
But when he looked at Wang Yanlin again, Xia Lin suddenly came to his senses.
"We're friends. Tell me honestly, is your annexation of your brothers' territory also related to the Six Pillars' struggle for power?"
This question directly silenced Wang Yanlin...
Seeing Wang Yanlin's expression, Xia Lin's mind became completely clear.
"The first path, the Cinder Matrix."
"Of the six major matrices in the Ember region, the power and strength of the first six pillars remain. Mastering and absorbing the power of the Ember region matrix is equivalent to receiving the hands-on instruction of a Six-Pillar-level teacher. Right now, this path is truly the fast lane to the Six-Pillar level."
"And the second path is probably what you are doing right now... What should I call this path?"
Wang Yanlin hesitated for a long time before giving a four-word answer: "Reality rules."
"This is the path my parents designed for me... If my territory in reality is large enough and my strength is strong enough, perhaps I can touch the boundaries and thresholds of the Six Pillars."
"It's probably enough for the eight of us brothers to unite our strength."
Xia Lin couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"I was told that your eighth brother has become a monk, so why isn't your mother anxious? It seems like everything is going according to plan..."
Wang Yanlin said anxiously: "Brother, it's not that I want to hide it from you on purpose, it's just meaningless. I can't follow this path unless I become the military leader."
Xia Lin chuckled: "But there is only one position among the six pillars."
Wang Yanlin remained silent again.
All I can say is, when it comes to essential interests, how can there be so much trust and emotion?
Xia Lin said softly, "Go back. Go back. Continue to rule the world... I helped you deal with your seventh and eighth brothers, which is enough to repay your kindness in giving me skills."
"As for the rest of your affairs, I don't want to bother with them anymore... Next, it's time for me to go find my own Six Pillars Way."
You guys drove away quietly without me, so doesn't that mean I, Xia Lin, have to go my own way?
Wang Yanlin hesitated to speak, and finally sighed deeply and bowed with his fists clasped.
Watching Wang Yanlin walk away, Xia Lin quickly looked away.
Standing still, the final question appeared in my mind.
Where is his six pillars?
