Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 1389 - 312: Target—Daluo (2)

Emperor Shitian’s gaze swept across the two faces: "I think it’s better for us to discuss this first. Otherwise, when the time comes, the three of us might compete, and the cooked duck might fly away."

Xiao Jie, too lazy to engage in further deception, directly asked, "Why is Brother Tian so persistent in ’choosing a candidate’? This Power of Saint, does it matter who uses it? Or could it be... Brother Tian has some particular ’thoughts’ about the Power of Saint?"

"Naturally." Emperor Shitian admitted frankly, "This Power of Saint—uniting truth with the Dao, enduring eternally, able to change the Heaven and Earth Laws with a single thought—who wouldn’t be tempted? If there’s a chance to obtain it, naturally it can’t be missed."

"And what about the ’nature’ of the Saint?" Xiao Jie pressed, "If a mortal obtains the Power of Saint, they’re likely to be immediately assimilated by the Saint’s avatar and eventually become the Incarnation Taiyi. How does Brother Tian intend to solve this problem?"

"Hehe, Brother Sui Feng, why test me?" Emperor Shitian chuckled softly, "It can of course be resolved with ’Heavenly Dao Power’—our unique ’Unity of Heaven and Man’ state allows us to temporarily strip away humanity and maintain absolute rationality. In this state, using the Power of Saint won’t be influenced by the Saint’s nature."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, so it is.

This method isn’t hard to conceive, it seems the three share the same thought on this aspect.

"But..." Xiao Jie shifted the topic, "Have you ever considered a question? If the Heavenly Dao Power can control the Power of Saint, then why doesn’t the ’Tongtian Saint’ collect this power himself? He is a Saint, understanding Heavenly Dao Power more deeply than we do. If he wanted, he could directly collect the Saint Fragments, couldn’t he? Why go through such a roundabout way and operate through us? There must be something wrong here."

Emperor Shitian was silent for a few seconds, then sighed: "This is exactly why I hope the two of us can reach a consensus."

He took a deep breath, lowered his voice: "An honest man’s words are not secretive—do you feel that Tongtian Saint is fundamentally using us? Once we gather the Power of Saint, he will definitely appear to ’intercept’?"

Xiao Jie smiled.

Talking to wise people is easy—no need to beat around the bush.

He had already thought of this possibility; in fact, he even believed it’s highly likely this will happen. The feeling given by Tongtian Taoist—mysterious and unpredictable, handling everything perfectly, with deep and cunning schemes, like a super villain behind the scenes.

Especially the feeling of being propelled forward step by step, as if everything had already been predestined, deepened his impression of this.

Xiao Jie felt that they, the Heavenly Destiny People, were nothing more than a bunch of chess pieces; once the task was completed and they lost value, it would be the moment they were discarded.

Initially feeling isolated and helpless, not knowing how to face this danger, now hearing Emperor Shitian’s words, there was suddenly a sense of camaraderie.

"What you think is exactly what I worry about."

Beside them, Brother Zhongtian showed a suitable look of surprise, his mouth agape: "No way? Tongtian Saint could fool us too? He’s a Saint, there’s no need to deceive us juniors for such a world-saving thing, right?"

Xiao Jie and Emperor Shitian simultaneously rolled their eyes.

Xiao Jie grumbled, "Old mate, I know you’re acting as the ’honest man,’ planning to play the fool then become the wise, but the problem is—those who come to this world aren’t fools. Let’s drop the act, shall we?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Emperor Shitian also cupped his hands towards Brother Zhongtian, speaking with resignation, "Brother Zhongtian, let’s be honest. There’s no outsider here, we’re all people who understand."

Being addressed by the two, Brother Zhongtian was first dazed, then he laughed "heheh," that genuine expression not changing at all, just scratching his head with a bit of embarrassment.

"Alright, I won’t pretend then." He scratched his head and chuckled, "Actually... I’ve been worried about this too."

Three cobblers, combined, are wiser than Zhuge Liang, Xiao Jie thought. Now finally, there are people to discuss with. Everyone is a Heavenly Destiny Person, all grasshoppers on the same rope. Facing Tongtian, the three can be considered allies.

Emperor Shitian continued, "The situation now presents only two possibilities.

First, Tongtian Taoist spoke the truth—we are indeed the key to saving the world, and in the end, he probably won’t show up, and we successfully save the world.

Second, he lied—then he’ll certainly come out to intercept and reap the benefits."

"So, we must make contingency plans for both possibilities." Xiao Jie followed, "So we don’t end up struggling with each other, only to be picked up by someone else. What do you two think? Why not speak freely."

Brother Zhongtian stroked his chin, "In my opinion... we could ask those three ’traitors’ to help! Sun Wukong, Erlang God, and Third Prince together, that Tongtian Taoist isn’t a complete Saint, probably won’t withstand them, right?"

"Forget it." Xiao Jie shook his head, "Those Three Demons can’t possibly be opponents of the Tongtian Saint. Besides, they’re acquainted—the Three Demons’ ’Destruction Method’ was revealed by Tongtian while drunk. If they help, it’s helping Tongtian, not us."

"Then don’t involve those three." Brother Zhongtian suggested again, "Just use the power of us players! As long as there are enough Daluo Golden Immortals, why fear a Tongtian Taoist? This guy isn’t a Saint now—although last time we couldn’t see through his cultivation, since he’s split into countless avatars, his strength must be greatly reduced. If we can defeat the ’Demon Lord’ into which the Saint transformed, why can’t we handle an avatar?"
