Can a person really become a 'Heavenly Ghost'?
The Little Brother Society wasn't sure about this, but that didn't stop them from pursuing it.
Just like how no one knew whether or not a person could fly in the past, but that didn't stop them from pursuing it.
The sandaime-sama spoke: "I can confirm that the people of the Ether race can't possibly go crazy. They have been protecting the Golden Apple for generations, their will is extremely firm, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to resist the temptation of the Golden Apple for so long "
"If the current generation's Ether race's ideology hasn't changed, their goal wouldn't be satisfied with just killing a few of you. They would definitely use all of their strength to make one last attempt, even if they have to sacrifice everything, they would still try to attack the Heavenly Ghosts "
Mo Qiong heard this in his heart. He didn't believe that the other party's leader, who had been hiding so deeply, wouldn't choose to fight when the organization was about to be destroyed, instead choosing to ambush and kill the other leaders, then gather all the anomalies and run away.
A starving camel is still bigger than a horse, the Little Brother Society was second only to the Church of Gaia, an organization with a long history.
Perhaps the Ether race did this to make one last attempt. Or perhaps they wanted to gather enough anomalies to prepare for their breakthrough to the Heavenly Ghost realm.
Mo Qiong immediately asked about the appearance of the Golden Apple, as well as the characteristics of the anomalies of the other four elements.
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've at least seen a pig run. Through telepathy, the sandaime-sama imprinted the appearance of the Golden Apple into Mo Qiong's mind.
Not to mention, it really was an apple … but it wasn't a golden one, but a peeled one …
An apple that would never rot after being peeled, maintaining its golden color.
With this, he could at least pinpoint the location of the Golden Apple.
The Golden Apple was known to only be eaten by humans and Gods, which should have something to do with wisdom.
When the person who opened the 'Eye of Truth' died, the closest apple to them would become the new generation's Golden Apple.
However, the new Golden Apple had a peeled one, and a peeled Golden Apple couldn't be eaten. It only had the characteristic of Deification.
Every time a person went crazy because of the Golden Apple and lost their personality, a bit of its skin would fall off.
In other words, the act of Deifying a human was equivalent to 'charging' the Golden Apple.
Once the Golden Apple's skin fell off, it would be ready to be eaten again.
"Since the second generation, all anomalies have been kept separately, so I only know the general idea. The characteristic of the Water Ray was that it could fuse water. All the water in a certain area would fuse into a drop of Heavy Water. In this way, it can cause people to die of dehydration. "
Mo Qiong asked, "What are the side effects?"
[The user himself will also be the target of the anomaly's absorption after it activates. Therefore, it was something that could kill a thousand enemies, but also lose a thousand of its own. Of course, there is a technique that allows the user to not die, but that technique is a secret. I don't know. Only the ether knows the secrets of all the leaders. "
Mo Qiong had no other choice. The rule of the Little Brother Society seemed to be waiting for the day when the ether would finally harvest its teammates.
It could be said that the aether knew the weaknesses of the four leaders of earth, wind, water, and fire.
"What about Feng Mang and Huo Mang?" Mo Qiong asked.
"I'm not sure. I only know that one can transform into anyone, while the other can ignite anyone," Sandaime said.
Mo Qiong was speechless. Compared to the Blue and White Society, the individual power of the Little Brother Society was too great.
The anomalies were in the hands of the various factions, as if they were their personal belongings. Even their basic characteristics were kept secret from each other.
However, knowing the gist of it was still better than not knowing anything at all.
[So that's how it is. No wonder the Blue and White Society's information network was always slow to catch on even when he was traveling around the world by himself. It turns out he can transform into anyone's appearance … and use someone else's identity to travel around the world.] Mo Qiong said.
The ether could freely travel around the world, deceiving the Blue and White Society's tracking methods.
Even now, no one knew what he looked like, which meant he had the help of an anomaly.
Otherwise, after the ether committed a crime, it would've been impossible for the big data to not find a common suspect after a few rounds of screening.
The two of them seemed to be talking a lot, but it only took two minutes.
Since Sandaime didn't have much time left, Mo Qiong asked him to use his last bit of time to introduce the Blue and White Society to Sandaime.
After the D-class member used Earth Mang to awaken Sandaime, Sandaime quickly and concisely explained the current situation.
[So it's 2000 years later …] Sandaime spoke in ancient Latin.
To be honest, when he understood the current situation, he was completely stunned.
What's going on? As a first-generation Hitman who created the Little Brother Society, he was petrified in the last few minutes of his life due to the side effects of the anomaly.
But as soon as he woke up, the Little Brother Society was already dead?
And the one who woke him up was the organization that destroyed the Little Brother Society.
This was as strange as Emperor Taizu being revived and Dorgon asking him what the Southern Ming's final trump card was.
The only one who knew about the characteristics of the Little Brother Society's anomalies was Sandaime, but he didn't seem to want to reveal that.
Sandaime spoke: [The ether is still trying, and you want me to help his enemy capture him?]
Sandaime looked at Sandaime with a look of reproach. He could still recognize this young man: [This is my child, he looks exactly like his father.]
Sandaime smiled bitterly: [Brother, the times have changed, the Hitmen of this era no longer follow the rules. The ether killed the three leaders, it's because he's willing to do anything for the sake of the Truth. He might even sacrifice all of humanity because of that]
Following that, he told Sandaime about the disappointment he felt towards the new Hitmen when he woke up.
But Sandaime scolded him: [Idiot! You're Sandaime? You're too young]
Sandaime froze.
Sandaime glared at him: [Any dream requires sacrifice. Being bullied by the enemy to the point of extinction, yet still sticking to the rules is stupidity!]
[The ether isn't wrong, the Qinguli tribe exists to ensure that the Little Brother Society never forgets about the highest ideals, instead of only caring about the small righteousness at all times]
[The only way to save this world is to become an Hitman, to become a Heavenly Demon]
[No matter how many people are sacrificed, as long as you become a Heavenly Demon, everything can still be salvaged]
Sandaime was stunned by Sandaime's words.
As the earliest Hitman, Sandaime had unparalleled vigor and confidence.
Just like the first president of the Blue and White Society, if someone traveled back in time and told him: [During the second Hitman's era, the Blue and White Society only had a few dozen members left, you're the stumbling block of this era, you should help the United Nations eliminate the last few members]
Without a doubt, Sandaime wouldn't agree, because he firmly believed that the path he opened was the correct one.
Perhaps it was only a temporary incompatibility with the world, but he believed that everything would be fine in the end. Without this resolve, how could he overturn the old world?
At this moment, Sandaime's first president was also thinking the same thing.
A second ago, he was still 2000 years ago, when the free Stonemasons had their own organization and created a beautiful blueprint for the future. He was imagining that several years later, with their unrelenting efforts, a human would become a Heavenly Demon and remove all anomalies.
Observing the world, protecting the world, becoming the ultimate Guardian of Truth.
A second later, 2000 years later, someone would tell him that his dream had been shattered, asking him to personally eliminate the last remnants of his organization for the sake of justice.
Sandaime's expression was: I don't believe it.
Even if Sandaime was here, he still wouldn't believe it. Perhaps this was all a scheme, perhaps the young man who should be Sandaime was only a disguise.
[Blue and White Society, is it? If you're truly the choice of this era, then destroy the Hitman organization with your own hands]
[If you can't do it without my help, then it can only mean … the Hitman's era hasn't ended]
Saying so, Sandaime chose to petrify and turned back into a tombstone.
Sandaime frowned. Sandaime knew about the characteristics of the Hitman organization's anomalies, if he could tell Blue and White Society about this, how many losses would they have suffered? Perhaps they could have avoided a major disaster.
On the other hand, how many innocent people would have died to the Hitman organization's final struggle?
As Sandaime was about to have the D-class members awaken Sandaime again, Mo Qiong stopped him.
"No need, people still need to rely on themselves"
Mo Qiong knew that Sandaime was too stubborn, so nothing he said would change his mind.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Sandaime was willing to help Blue and White Society was because he had lost faith in modern Hitmen after witnessing them.
When it was time to fight, they didn't fight, when it was time to stand up, they didn't stand up, and when the other party succeeded, they jumped out to fight. He knew that Hitmen couldn't adapt to this era, and the possibility of a Heavenly Demon being born was too slim, so it was nothing more than a guess.
Blue and White Society had a large amount of resources, numerous anomalies, and supporters, only in their hands would the Golden Apple be able to display its greatest potential.
Why must the lonely aether be sacrificed at the cost of countless lives to seize the anomaly of Lanbai She, and then ascend to the realm of Akasha Ghost?
If Blue and White Society obtained the Golden Apple, they would be able to break through to Heavenly Demon realm in a more organized, planned, and uninterrupted manner.
The former had too high of a chance of failure, so it was nothing more than a gamble to the death.
Sandaime understood this, because by the time he succeeded, the Assassins had already successfully led an era. At that time, the Assassins had already begun to have a strong sense of duty, and they were able to look at problems from a macroscopic perspective.
But Sandaime didn't understand.
He blindly believed in his successor, as the founder, he was born in an era of resistance. His worldview and personality were completely different from the Hitmen that came after him.
"Regarding your help, I will remember it on behalf of Lan Bai She. You only have 5 seconds left, please petrify yourself immediately, we might be able to restore you in the future "Mo Qiong said.
Sandaime smiled and didn't choose to petrify himself, allowing the last 5 seconds of his life to slowly pass away.
Finally, he said: "If a human can truly become a Heavenly Demon, then what does it matter if I don't have these 5 seconds?"
"Hitmen don't die in a cage, but Hitmen aren't immortal"
"The truth lies in the hidden blade, but the truth exists forever"
Mo Qiong couldn't help but ask: "What is your name?"
Sandaime suddenly smiled mischievously: "Have you ever fished before?"
Saying so, Sandaime used up the last of his time and permanently turned into a stone tablet.
