Once Feng Bujue said that, both the Count of Script and Dianli exclaimed in unison, "You've been through the Door to the Void?"
"Ah … I've been there once." Brother Jue replied in a calm tone. "But … I didn't stay there for long, and at the time, I had no idea where I was, and I had no idea that the voice that communicated with me in the dark was actually the War Demon."
"You even talked to the War Demon?" Dianli King's surprise was understandable. Like what he had said, under normal circumstances … once a life form like human entered the environment of 'nothingness', their consciousness would collapse and disappear instantly. Even if there was some kind of freak with unusual talent, like Brother Jue, who could survive inside the Door to the Void, there was no way they could have any kind of 'communication' with the War Demon. This was because the War Demon was best at communication — destruction. It would not hesitate to destroy any life form other than demons, and it did not need any reason … In comparison, the leader of the demons, the God of the New Era, was a gentleman.
"Yes, but unfortunately, we did not get anything out of our conversation." Feng Bujue replied. "But now that I think about it, many things have become clearer …" He thought back to the first time he used the Descent of the War Demon and said, "First, the flow of time inside the Door to the Void … is obviously different from outside. My consciousness stayed inside for a few minutes, but only a moment passed in the outside world. In other words … the actual time that the War Demon has been imprisoned is much longer than you think. A day in the outside world might be several months or even a year to it. "He turned to look at the two gods." Can you two imagine? It has already been in 'nothingness' for tens or even millions of years … "
"I cannot …" the Count of Script continued. "And I do not want to think about it …"
"Ha … I feel the same way." Feng Bujue smiled. He paused and continued, "Secondly, the War Demon has already forgotten who it is and who its enemy is … In fact, it does not even remember where it is and why it is locked up."
"Hmm … If it has really been in nothingness for more than 100,000 years, then that is not surprising …" Dianli said with cold sweat.
"Perhaps it was because it has been locked up for too long (lonely), when I visited, the ancient demon king showed me great compassion and patience." Feng Bujue continued. "It tried its best to answer all the questions I asked … even though it did not remember much … Other than that, it was very active in persuading my consciousness to leave quickly so that it would not consume it unconsciously." At this point, he opened his hands. "And when I said that I was here to accept demonization, it helped me very readily — it blew a breath at my 'consciousness'."
"And your soul did not dissipate?" Dianli asked.
"The fact that I am standing here now has explained everything." Feng Bujue titled his head and smiled. "Of course … the experience of being demonized for the first time was not good. The extreme pain … surpassed both physical and mental limitations. It even made me feel like I had broken free from the shackles of time. Compared to that kind of torture … reaching my hand into the lawnmower was like playing with a toy. "
"Feng Bujue … you are indeed exceptional." Dianli looked at Brother Jue and said darkly, "As a human, it is already a miracle that you can maintain your sanity inside the Door to the Void. Who would have thought … you could survive the demonization personally bestowed by the War Demon. It looks like … the strength of your soul has far surpassed the limit of your race. "
"Ah … I suppose so." After Brother Jue answered, he changed the topic. "About my encounter with the War Demon, let's stop here … That has nothing to do with what we are going to discuss now." He took a few steps forward and looked at Dianxia King. "Let's talk about you …" He paused for a moment before continuing, "Even though you've told me about your situation, I feel like you haven't explained it clearly enough …"
"Humph … You sure are a clever strategist …" Dianli's tone was laced with sarcasm.
Feng Bujue did not mind it and continued. "You are someone who is good at strategizing. You will not fight a battle without preparation. Furthermore … when you are trapped inside the seal, the thing you do not lack the most is time to think. Therefore, before you destroyed the seal, you must have come up with a plan to escape. " Using his left hand to support his right elbow, he put his right index finger and middle finger together and gently stroked the bridge of his nose. At the same time, he lifted his chin slightly and muttered, "All these years, you've accumulated a lot of strength by absorbing the Devil Energy that seeped out from the 'door gap'. But you know very well that just having the power to break the seal is not enough. You have to leave some power to protect yourself … Otherwise, even if you escape the seal, this' freedom 'will not last long. "
At this point, Brother Jue's tone changed slightly. "However, things did not go according to your plan … When you were escaping from the Door to the Void, there must have been some kind of accident that caused your 'power' to be far lower than what you expected."
"Hmm … That is logical and reasonable," the Count of Script said as he stroked his beard.
"Alright, alright … I will tell you." At this point, Dianhai King had nothing to hide, so he decided to be honest. "For example, I originally prepared ten percent of my power. Forty percent of it was used to break the seal, and sixty percent was reserved for self-protection. In my calculation, with that sixty percent, even if I ran into the four pillars of divinity, I would be able to escape unscathed. " He shook his head. "But … the seal set by the Supervising Deity has its own secrets … He had already considered the possibility of the seal being broken, so he left a safety measure on it. Thankfully, I was prepared enough and managed to break the seal, but … I had already used eighty percent of my power … "
"So that's how it is …" Hearing this, the Count of Script understood. "You, who only had twenty percent of your power left, knew that you were powerless against the experts who came to capture you, so … you came up with a plan to hide at a place where no one would be able to find you …" He used his finger to tap his temple. "… the world inside my mind."
"If everything went smoothly, you could hide here until the seal was completely broken. By then … the War Demon would have appeared, and there would be no point in capturing you, so you would be free. " Feng Bujue continued. "Other than that … you could use your unique parasitic power to complete the 'possession' on Brother Zun and gain all his power."
"Humph … Objectively speaking, your plan is indeed a brilliant plan that kills two birds with one stone." The Count of Script smirked. "To be able to do this with the remaining twenty percent of your power after the 'accident' … that is impressive." At this point, he changed the topic. "But … as the person involved, I can only say … that this is a 'cruel plan'."
"For me, there is no such thing as cruel or not," Dianxin King said. "It is survival of the fittest. In this case … I am not targeting you or anyone else. I merely did what I had to do to regain my freedom and survive. There is no 'love' or 'hatred' involved. Even if I succeed, I will not feel any 'guilt' or 'satisfaction'. " As he spoke, he glanced at Brother Zun. "Actually … those emotional things are common among the creatures of your 'new era'. From the perspective of the Truth Sequence, our generation is … much simpler than yours. "
"Simple, pure, and powerful, so this is the original version …" Feng Bujue thought to himself. "Hmm … I suppose there are pros and cons. Of course, personally, I prefer this more complicated and humane version."
"Current quest completed. All main quests completed."
The sudden system announcement pulled Brother Jue back from his thoughts.
"Hmm … That was fast." Feng Bujue opened the game menu and glanced at it. The quest 'Solve the mystery of the Cursed Juniper Tree without killing' me '' had been ticked off, and the team tab showed that all five of his teammates were still alive.
Then came the announcement. "You have completed the scenario. In 180 seconds … Hum …"
The system did not finish the announcement …
"I have canceled your automatic teleportation time limit. You won't mind, right?" Brother Zun immediately told Feng Bujue.
"Ah, it's fine. I was going to let you do the same." Feng Bujue replied with a normal expression. "I've already come up with the details of the trade. Three minutes is not enough to explain everything …"
"What do you want?" Dianxin King asked.
"Yes … Feng Bujue," the Count of Script added. "I am also curious, what is your plan?"
"Hahaha … Don't worry." Brother Jue opened his lips to reveal a wicked smile that would send chills down one's spine. "I just want to … reshuffle the power of the major forces in this universe …"
