Chapter 117 Poseidon's Plan
Looking at the mocking face of the god, Johnston felt cold all over, as if his life force was slowly flowing away with his blood.
He knew that if he didn't think of other solutions, he might die in the next second.
As someone who betrayed God, he would experience the most horrific divine punishment and then die. And they will continue to pay the price for their recklessness after death, suffering eternal torment in the fire of hell.
He is just an orphan. Maybe he can call the wind and rain and do whatever he wants among ordinary people, but he has no power to resist God. The people with special abilities from various countries that he met would not offend a god just for a mermaid like him who was alone and powerless.
So no one could help him, he could only save himself.
But looking at the furious god in front of him, Johnston Taylor's frozen brain could not think of any effective solution.
In the end, he could only struggle and try to speak again, trying to fight for a way out for himself.
But his lips only moved slightly, and before he could utter a word, he was stopped by the sea god.
The sea god frowned fiercely, raised his hand and waved it lightly, and a belt of water formed by the ocean current tied up Johnston. From beginning to end, only a pair of eyes of the dying mermaid were exposed.
The water hose mixed with divine power is the strongest thing in the world, and also the most powerful torture instrument in the world.
Johnston was hanging on by a thread, and now he was severely tightened by the belt, and he couldn't hold on any longer.
She suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs and flesh, and the mermaid's slightly twitching fingertips exposed outside stopped moving, and her eyes, which had always contained the will to survive, were no longer bright.
Color and life flowed out of Johnston's body along with that mouthful of blood.
Chu Yi, who was watching from inside the barrier, widened his eyes slightly. He didn't expect things to turn out like this. She couldn't help but lift her feet, wanting to get out of the barrier and bring Johnston back from hell.
This actor mermaid is actually quite good in all aspects. If she chooses him to take the position and take charge of the western waters, she will have less worries. However, a second before Chu Yi touched the barrier, she stopped in hesitation.
What if this is part of Poseidon's plan?
If Poseidon had his own plan and Johnston's death was just one part of it, then her rash intervention might lead to the failure of the plan.
In the final analysis, this is about choosing a "successor" for Poseidon. Whether Johnston can do it depends on Poseidon's own wishes. If he is not satisfied, then he can just change another one. He is just one person and can still afford it.
Having made up his mind, Chu Yi stopped hesitating. She put down her raised right foot and retreated back into the barrier, the worry on her face gradually fading.
It is true that she admires Johnston Taylor, but that is just admiration. She also admired Qin Hang, Jiang Yongyan, Tang Wenlin, Evelin and others.
To be precise, Chu Yi loves all "geniuses" in the traditional sense.
Because they represent the future of Blue Star and are the key to realizing her wish. So she didn't want to see any of them die before they grew up. But if she encountered a situation like today, she wouldn't be too sad.
After adjusting his mentality, Chu Yi continued to watch this "drama" calmly.
After strangling Johnston Taylor to death, Poseidon still had that mocking and sarcastic look on his face. The aura around him was still fierce, causing the creatures in the deep sea to dare not move.
Even the water belt pulled by divine power remained on the mermaid's body and did not dissipate.
He stretched out his hand and waved it back carelessly, and the water hose obediently pulled a luminous object out of the mermaid's body. Slightly tightening the binding, the water belt carried the luminous object towards the god.
When the tape was pulled closer, Chu Yi could vaguely distinguish that the glowing unidentified object seemed to be Johnston's soul.
She suddenly became interested and couldn't help but control the barrier to move closer to them.
This was the first time Chu Yi saw a soul escape from a body. What she saw in hell some time ago were all souls that naturally left their bodies after death. The situation of living souls is different from that of dead souls.
As we all know, after a person dies, his soul will automatically leave his body and become a ghost. In the early stage, the ghost is unconscious and just floats around its own body in a daze.
The soul at this time is the living soul.
The stage of resurrection will not last too long. After a day or two, consciousness will slowly return. At this time, the soul changes from a living soul to a dead soul. When in the state of a living soul, one will never go to hell.
Only those souls who have some ability to protect themselves will go to hell under the guidance of the law.
However, even if the dead souls enter hell, they will not immediately enter the real hell. No matter which country the dead souls are from, they will stay in the gap between the human world and hell for a period of time, just like Kong Feiming who planted flowers.
The environment there can help the dead souls consolidate their own souls so that they will not be destroyed by a small blow. The souls of ordinary people are very fragile, and a little sunlight can seriously injure them.
Chu Yi looked at Johnston's soul carefully and found that it was indeed very weak. The illusory shape can only be vaguely discerned, and it seems that the slightest ripple on the water can destroy it.
As a high-level magician, his soul should not be so fragile. At least after death, one will not lose even basic consciousness.
It's a pity that he offended the gods.
He was able to sustain a blow from a second-level god, but was still able to keep his soul intact. This was considered a rare talent for him.
Looking at Johnston who was so miserable, Chu Yi was suddenly overwhelmed by guilt. She scratched her cheek guiltily, her eyes flickering, and she couldn't help but want to speak up to ask the sea god to restrain himself.
Although there is an old saying that 'When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer and his muscles and bones work hard', and one has to suffer a lot before seeing the beautiful rainbow, but this does seem a bit too tragic. None of the other geniuses was as miserable as Johnston.
As if he had sensed her inner thoughts, the sea god, who had been staring coldly at the mermaid's soul, suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the barrier. The look in his eyes was not harsh, it could even be said to be gentle, but the rejection in them was firm and unwavering.
Chu Yi looked at the dazed Johnston with a conflicted look, then looked at Poseidon, and finally suppressed his sudden sympathy.
She knew that her followers had always disapproved of her soft-hearted style. In the beginning, after she made the decision, the vest consciousness that was suppressed deep inside her would even protest faintly.
It’s not because of anything else, it’s simply because they feel that if Chu Yi is so indecisive, the only person who will be hurt in the end is herself.
So after she came to her senses some time ago, the vests were secretly very happy.
Lowering his eyes, Chu Yi retracted his fingers that almost touched the barrier unknowingly, and revealed a helpless smile. The ordinary life in her previous life had a great impact on her. Even though the Lord God gave her such a big golden finger, allowing her to become a god who could make clouds and rain with a flip of her hand, she could not look down on any life.
However, just as the vests worry, continuing to maintain such a mentality is indeed not suitable for being the leader of a civilization. Her current changes are not thorough enough. She must look further ahead and consider things from the perspective of humanity as a whole.
Forcing himself to retract his overflowing sympathy, Chu Yi gave Poseidon a look that told him to speed up.
Time is running out. The reason she used this time was just to retreat and comprehend the gains from the battle. It was impossible for her to disappear for a month or two like she did the last time she broke through the Jindan stage. It’s almost time to go out and go to class.
After receiving the order, Poseidon changed his plan in time.
He stretched out his hand and pulled Johnston's soul in front of him, not caring that he had not yet regained consciousness, and simply and crudely stuffed some false memories into his mind. Then he stuffed the soul back into his broken body even more roughly.
With a little divine power, he could repair this fragile body and Johnston Taylor could become a mermaid again. Finally, he threw the mermaid into the sea above the abandoned Atlantis, and then the sea god returned to the barrier in a free and easy manner.
After returning, Poseidon said to Chu Yi as if nothing had happened: "It's done."
Chu Yi: “…?”
Stunned Chu Yi looked at the two people with extremely shocked eyes. Her little brain couldn't comprehend this sudden turn of events.
She did yell at Poseidon to speed up, but she didn't let him finish it in one go!
There is no complete cause, process and result. How should we deal with a situation that starts well but ends badly? Since you can directly instill memory and skip the intermediate steps, why not do it this way from the beginning? Do we have to go to such lengths to put on a show?
Now that you've already started the play, you should perform it from beginning to end. Why give up halfway?
This made her, as a viewer, fully engaged and conflicted.
After enduring for a long time, Chu Yi couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you just instill memories into Johnston?"
Being questioned by her in a somewhat fierce tone, Poseidon was not flustered. He replied implicitly: "Don't you prefer this method?"
"What?!"
If it wasn't so ungraceful to pick the ears of a handsome guy, Chu Yi would have wanted to pick his ears right there.
What did she hear? My own alias actually replied that I chose acting because I like this way of doing things? !
No, how on earth did she give them such an illusion? ?
She was clearly doing things under a vest, just to make sure the plan would go smoothly. Of course, she could choose this labor-saving method, but instilling false memories into the soul is a very unstable thing and it is easy to reveal flaws.
She doesn't have the power like the main god to directly tamper with the laws.
Therefore, Chu Yi opened her mouth to refute. She didn't want her image to become weird at all. But looking at the innocent eyes of the sea god, she opened her mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a word.
"...Forget it, let's go back."
In the end, Chu Yi gave up struggling.
It's just a small matter. It seems a bit of an exaggeration to explain it specifically. It's up to you all to think about it.
Seeing that she was indeed struggling, a smile flashed across Poseidon's deep blue eyes. He spoke again, "Don't worry. The mermaid's soul has just been injured by divine power, and her soul is unstable. I have integrated the false memories into the divine power and input them together. He won't notice the problem."
"Once he inherits my godhood, this memory will be completely solidified and become a reality."
Hearing the last sentence, Chu Yi didn't care about the trivial matter of "watching the show". She asked in surprise: "Do you agree with him? I thought he didn't catch your eye."
Putting on a false smile, Poseidon looked back at Johnston, who had not yet woken up, without any emotion in his eyes. "In this world, apart from you, there is no one I can willingly give my all to. You are the only one who is most qualified to inherit my godhood."
"It's a pity that you have more important things to do." He turned around and looked at Chu Yi with extremely gentle eyes, "So, as long as it is what you wish for, that is the direction we will move forward."
