"Because it is impossible to make everyone happy, when there is a conflict between wishes, the conflicting party's wish will be eaten by the light jade, returning to the state before the wish was made."
"Wait, that's not right." As soon as Amethyst finished speaking, Tian Zi was puzzled. "If the wish is eaten, it is equivalent to not being fulfilled. But you just said that the light jade will fulfill everyone's wish regardless of who it is, and the way it manifests itself is the reality in front of everyone. Isn't that self-contradictory? If someone's wish is not fulfilled, the prestige of the Holy Cathedral of Light will also be reduced. "
"It's not contradictory." Amethyst smiled.
At this moment, the door of the shrine behind her opened. Ling Meng and the others who were in a coma earlier had woken up. They had a thoughtful expression on their faces as if they had heard the conversation just now. Meanwhile, Little Purple walked out with the wedding dress.
Amethyst glanced at the wedding dress, then looked at the crowd and asked, "Now, do you still desire to wear it?"
Everyone was stunned. They looked at the wedding dress in front of them and felt that it was almost the most beautiful dress they had ever seen. It was indeed weaved with fairy feathers. If they could have such a dress, it was indeed worth being happy about. However, they did not have the obsession to get it at all costs. Even … when they thought of the battle for the wedding dress, everyone felt that it was a little unbearable.
Everyone could not help but look at each other, understanding in their hearts.
"That's what it is." Amethyst smiled. "Eating the wish is equivalent to eating your pursuit and obsession for something. Let me use the example just now to illustrate. Two men fall in love with a girl at the same time. The former's wish is fulfilled, and the latter's wish is eaten. Although the person whose wish is eaten may not lose this memory, it is probably equivalent to a dream. The pursuit of the girl has become dispensable, no longer so strong that he must have her. Even the wish to make to the light jade may be forgotten."
"Just like you now, even if you see the wedding dress, you will not have the impulse to fight for it."
"This … isn't this a little unfair?" Asuna frowned. "The former fulfilled his wish and got together with the girl, while the latter had his wish devoured, and even his feelings for the girl disappeared. Isn't this way of fulfilling wishes a little …"
Asuna felt a bit upset, but she also felt deep sympathy for those who had their wishes devoured.
"Is it unfair? The wish itself is unfair. " Ba Yunzi said, "And isn't that girl the most pitiful one? She might not have liked these two men, but someone else. In the end, because someone made a wish, she couldn't be with the person she truly liked. Instead, she married a man who might have been a stranger. Did that mean that her will was also rewritten?"
Everyone was speechless. Even through the screen, Megumi Kato and the others felt a chill run down their spines.
When he first learned about the Light Jade, although he knew that it had caused a great tragedy, it had still allowed some people to obtain happiness. But now that he thought about it, this method of fulfilling wishes was even more terrifying than a ghost story.
This couldn't help but greatly change their impression of the Light Jade.
"But I think the Light Jade is intelligent, and its intelligence is very high. It worked very hard to delay the tragedy." Amethyst looked down at the Light Jade in her hand, her eyes unexpectedly gentle.
"Why do you think so?" Euonymus asked.
Amethyst looked up. "Even if there are only five billion people in a world, according to this indiscriminate way of fulfilling wishes, there should be tens of thousands of people who wish to the Light Jade at the same time, if not millions. Among them, there might be people with high positions. Some people want to expand the territory of their country, some want to revive the dead, some want eternal life, and so on. If the Light Jade fulfilled everyone's wish without any change, how long do you think it would take to destroy the world?"
"Maybe it would only take one day for the world to erupt into an all-out war, destroying everything on earth."
Amethyst sighed softly. "The Light Jade was created by the Seven Sages, and when the tragedy happened, only Aurora was left of the Seven Sages. To be able to create such a wishing machine, the Seven Sages are probably more powerful than me. After reaching that realm, even humans will have a very long lifespan. Then, from the time the Light Jade was created until the time the Six Sages died, how long has it been?"
Everyone was speechless. Tang Hao's eyes also changed.
But he was thinking about another question. If the Seven Sages were more powerful than Amethyst, which one was Amethyst referring to? The Amethyst before she joined the chat room, or the Amethyst now? If it was the former, then it was nothing. There were many such people, but if it was the latter … then it was a little scary.
Amethyst shook her head. "Even if the most conservative estimate is that this period of time is only a hundred years, but to be able to delay the tragedy that could happen in a day to a hundred years later, I dare say that not only does the Light Jade possess unimaginable intelligence, it also uses its own method to prevent the tragedy from happening."
"Devouring wishes?"
"That's right. Only by devouring a part of the wishes, such as making the kings who desire to unify the continent give up their pursuit of territory, will war not break out. Making those who desire eternal life respect birth, age, sickness, and death, and life will not be desecrated … Only in this way, can we barely maintain that temporary peace and prosperity."
"But unfortunately, the Light Jade is only a wishing machine. The purpose of its creation is to fulfill people's wishes. No matter how great its power and intelligence is, in the face of the endless desires of humans, it is insignificant."
After listening to this, everyone looked at the Light Jade in Amethyst's hand again, and their mood changed subtly.
They did not know if it was an illusion, but they saw that the Light Jade lying in Amethyst's palm was no longer as lively as before, and instead looked a little dejected?
Whoosh!
Then, Amethyst raised her hand lightly, and the Light Jade flew back to Tang Hao. Tang Hao reached out to catch it, but strangely felt a little heavy.
This small Light Jade carried the rise and fall of an entire world on its back.
It was created to bring happiness to humans, but in the end, it destroyed the entire world. Was the Light Jade at fault? At the very least, Tang Hao did not think that way. Regardless of whether it was Guang Yu or the Seven Sages, they had good intentions. Even the desires of humans could not be blamed, because desires were the driving force behind human progress. Even idlers in the mountains had a desire to pursue peace, but if they did not even have that desire, they would no longer be human. They would just be walking corpses.
Desires could not be taken away, but they could not be abused either. The Light Jade's world was destroyed because this power was abused. It was reaping without sowing, and the effort was not proportional to the return.
Perhaps the Light Jade in the Clannad world was the most correct way to use it. After crying and losing, one could only make a wish for that tiny bit of happiness, and then work hard to live.
Even the chatroom was the same.
After joining the chatroom, Tang Hao had experienced many life-or-death situations. In the world of Noyogami, if not for the help of the local gods, he might have died. In the world of the Sword and Saber Dominion, it was also because Kaguya had paid a huge price to create an advantage for him. His success was not reaping without sowing, but it was built on a certain amount of effort and sacrifice.
The chatroom followed the rules of equivalent exchange, using safety and life as the stake to gain the power to develop.
In fact, Tang Hao had also thought about it in the past. In order to develop the chatroom, it needed to rely on a large number of group members. The stronger the group members, the faster the chatroom would develop. Moreover, the chatroom itself had the function of sending invitation letters to various worlds. In that case, why did it not just send hundreds or thousands of invitations at the same time? Even if there was only a 1% chance, it could quickly gather a group of group members.
However, looking at the Light Jade in his hand, Tang Hao understood why the chatroom did not do this.
Perhaps it had the power to do so, but when the group members were gathered in this way, it was equivalent to reaping without sowing. Everyone did not have to do anything. The group members would join one by one, and the rewards would be obtained one by one. Gradually, it would develop the group members' depravity and dependence. In the end, it might even be like the Light Jade world, ushering in an irreversible tragedy.
Therefore, in just a few months, he became very strong.
This was because he had risked his life countless times. Even though he was hugging the thighs of others most of the time, he had still paid the price and effort in exchange for benefits that others did not have.
Therefore, people like Gong Senkui and the others did not change much after joining the chatroom for so long.
Because they did not put in the effort.
It was not that he was blaming them, but this was the rule of the chatroom. Only when you put in the effort will you be rewarded, and only when you put in the effort will you be rewarded.
It sounded like chicken soup, but it was also the truth.
Tang Hao's eyes flashed, and he looked up at Amethyst.
After the completion of the Heroic Dungeon, with the addition of Orochimaru, ordinary people like Megumi Kato also had a way to become stronger. Orochimaru was undoubtedly a very good teacher. However, with Amethyst's ability, was there no way to make them stronger? Was she not as good as Orochimaru?
Obviously not.
Even if there was no mysterious power in the world they were in, it would not be difficult for Amethyst to create a group of experts.
However, she had never helped anyone in this regard. She helped Misaka Mikoto obtain the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, but it was Misaka Mikoto herself who did the dungeon. She followed the Straw Hat Gang to Sky Island and fought against Enel, and she also gambled herself.
It was not until Tang Hao obtained the Ice Soul Stone that ordinary people like Megumi Kato really began to try to become stronger. Although they received a lot of help in the process, it was not without effort because cultivation itself was a kind of hard work and effort. Even learning ninjutsu from Orochimaru was also a real teaching.
Although it was not explicitly stated, Amethyst's always advocated coincided with the rules of the chatroom.
Equivalent exchange.
Pay and return.
In the end, the chatroom was just a platform, a platform that was connected to mystery. It didn't mean that you would become stronger after joining the chatroom. If you wanted to become stronger, if you wanted to possess the power to surpass others, you had to work hard. No one would give you special treatment just because you were a member of the chatroom. It was even more impossible for you to become strong overnight.
You can be a salted fish, but if you don't want to be salted, then you have to fight for it.
This was the rules of the chatroom, and Amethyst abided by it. Tang Hao naturally had no intention of disobeying. He originally wanted to awaken the second soul through the Light Jade, but now it seemed that it was also an act of reaping without effort for others, and it would only make them useless.
Amethyst probably had the same idea when she returned the Light Jade to him.
So, Tang Hao put away the Light Jade and did not mention it again.
When the others saw it, although they felt that it was a pity, they did not say anything. Even if the Light Jade could be replenished by swallowing wishes, according to the way it was used, it was also a double-edged sword, and the potential danger was too great.
"Today's matter ends here, everyone can go back to work."
The wedding dress and the Light Jade were settled. Amethyst instantly got up, opened a gap in front of her, and then left with Ba Yunlan.
"Sigh, the fun is over, let's go."
"Are we not going to have a banquet? What a pity. "
The non-chatroom members left one after another. After a long time, everyone was actually a little tired.
At this moment, Tang Hao suddenly thought of a problem, and quickly took out his phone to contact Amethyst.
"Swallowing wishes can erase the other party's pursuit and obsession, and at the same time, restore the power of the Light Jade. Then, if I throw the Light Jade at someone else … such as the Bone King, will I be able to rewrite their will?"
"It's best not to do that."
"Why?"
"The power of the Light Jade is the Source."
"The Source again?"
[The power to grant wishes and devour wishes are actually the evolution of the Origin. This is a power that is more profound than the World Force. Just now, when I used the Light Jade to devour their wishes, it was also driven by the Origin. You are still too far away from mastering the Origin. If you use it rashly, it may cause unpredictable consequences.]
"Then, doesn't that mean it's useless?"
"Perhaps you can give it to Xiao Meiyan to try."
Tang Hao's eyes instantly lit up. He first learned about the Source because of Xiao Meiyan's participation, and the Hatcheries that Chubby was in had the power to adjust the universe because they had mastered the Source.
"Will it work?"
"It should be possible. The Source of that world is relatively active. As long as the Chubby family's actions continue, it's possible to absorb their Source by putting the Light Jade in … Of course, it's only a possibility, but as long as it succeeds, we can rewrite their fate and suppress the Chubby family. Although the possibility of success is not high, it's worth a try."
"Okay."
Tang Hao nodded. He originally thought that the problem with Xiao Meiyan's world was the most troublesome. Without Amethyst, he had no confidence at all. Since he could use the power of the Light Jade, there was no harm in trying. Even if it really did not work … he could think of another way in the future.
Putting away his phone, Tang Hao came to Xiao Meiyan. She had been hollowed out by Love Song and could not recover in this short period of time. At this moment, she was still a little weak.
When Tang Hao handed her the Light Jade, Xiao Meiyan immediately became nervous.
"This … This is for me?"
"Yes, Zi … Sis said that maybe it can be used to fight against Chubby."
"But, I don't know how to use it." Xiao Meiyan was a little nervous. The Light Jade was still too dangerous for her. If she was not careful and swallowed her wish instead, wouldn't that be the end of her?
"You don't need to use it. You just need to carry it with you." Tang Hao smiled. According to Amethyst, the Source reacted automatically and had nothing to do with Xiao Meiyan's own will.
"Okay, then I'll try." Xiao Meiyan held the Light Jade cautiously, looking forward to it and nervous at the same time.
At the same time, Amethyst seemed to remember something and murmured, "Right, I forgot to mention just now. An active Source is like a delicious snack, it will attract all kinds of Freaks unless there's an equal power to hide it. A chat room can do it, but a favorite can't … Forget it, this is also a kind of equivalent exchange."
While murmuring, Amethyst yawned. Analyzing the Light Jade just now had consumed some of her strength. Without thinking too much, she fell asleep.
Boli Shrine.
After getting the Light Jade, Xiao Meiyan thanked Tang Hao and could not wait to return to her world. She wanted to tell Xiao Yuan and Ba Amami the good news as soon as possible. She believed that they would be very excited.
Of course, Xiao Meiyan did not know what kind of suffering she would encounter when she returned.
Tang Hao did not know either. He was happy for Xiao Meiyan and proud of his selflessness. Although the Light Jade was a double-edged sword, it was after all an omnipotent wishing machine. It was really great of him to give such a precious treasure away just like that!
Tang Hao was sighing about his noble sentiments, but not long after, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him was a little strange. When he came back to his senses, he found Yu Ji and Sand Stick Love Song standing on either side of him. One had an indifferent expression, and the other was smiling brightly. Asuna was standing next to Yu Ji.
Not far away, Alice was looking at him with an expression that seemed to want to say something …
Tang Hao suddenly felt a headache coming on.
The problem of the Light Jade and the wedding dress had been solved, but … it seemed that his problem had not been solved yet?
In fact, it had become even more?
