Chapter 727: The Ambition of the Oracle Envoy
“In the first forty years, every month, the gods of Takamagahara would use their means to contact the ‘Pure Land,’ allowing the oracle messengers to report on the operation of the ‘human circle’ during that time.
However, starting from a certain day sixty years ago, Takamagahara has not contacted the oracle messengers again. It was as if they had completely abandoned this place, with no news for a full sixty years.”
Jiang Er nodded thoughtfully, “So, you suspect that something happened to the gods of Takamagahara?”
“That’s right. The scale of this ‘human circle’ is so vast that the gods of Takamagahara cannot possibly ignore it. With no contact for sixty years, I believe the only possibility is that something happened to Takamagahara,” An Qingyu continued.
“When this situation first began, the oracle messengers thought it was an accident. But after five years, they started to realize something was wrong. Yet, due to their fear of the gods’ immense power, they continued to do their jobs, managing the entire ‘human circle.’
It wasn’t until another ten years had passed, with still no contact from Takamagahara, that their mindset began to change.
This change is something I can only speculate on; these things cannot be recorded in documents. However, from the series of actions they took in the ‘Pure Land,’ it seems they began to test whether Takamagahara had truly disappeared while also conducting various experiments related to divine power.
These seven oracle messengers were capitalists even before the fog descended. Even though they had taken control of the entire ‘human circle,’ greed still flowed in their veins. Having witnessed the gods’ power, they began to fantasize about becoming gods themselves…
Thus, the so-called ‘royal blood’ experiments and the ‘god-making’ plan emerged.”
“They want to rebel?!” Jiang Er exclaimed in surprise.
“Perhaps that’s only part of it,” An Qingyu adjusted her glasses. “These oracle messengers know the truth about the ‘human circle.’ With their technology and supernatural powers, they naturally cannot be content to rule in this false world. So, they began to find ways to leave this ‘human circle.’
The database of the ‘Pure Land’ contains a vast amount of war simulation systems and even cloning devices for oracle messengers. They could easily use their astonishing reserves of soul fuel and these technological means to create a super army composed entirely of oracle messengers.”
“A super army made up of oracle messengers?!” Jiang Er thought of those seven powerful oracle messengers and gasped, “What do they want to do?”
One oracle messenger is already incredibly formidable, capable of battling a strong opponent from the ‘Klein’ realm of the Great Xia. If there were hundreds or thousands of oracle messengers, what terrifying power would that be?
“Of course… to dominate the fog world,” An Qingyu said calmly. “Once they find a way to leave the ‘human circle,’ they will likely begin to replicate themselves in large numbers, using that billions of soul fuel as a foundation to incite war.”
“Incite war…”
Jiang Er was bewildered. “But the entire fog world only has the Great Xia left, right?”
An Qingyu glanced at him, her eyes filled with complexity.
“You mean, they want to invade the Great Xia?” Jiang Er quickly reacted. “Have they gone mad?!”
“They’re not mad; they’re blinded by long-term hegemony and the illusion of omnipotence,” An Qingyu sneered. “If they truly believe that replicating an army of oracle messengers will allow them to rule the entire Great Xia…
Then they are truly pitifully foolish.”
…
Lin Qiye glanced at the time and looked up at the dark road ahead.
“Is someone coming to pick us up?” Wei Dong asked in confusion. “Do you have other team members in the ‘human circle’? This place can’t use the Forbidden Ruins, and there are oracle messengers monitoring. If you don’t have the corresponding skills and knowledge, isn’t it very dangerous?”
“Dangerous?” Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment. “It’s not too bad.”
Wei Dong stared at Lin Qiye for a long time, letting out a deep sigh.
Captain Lin and his team must have had a tough time, right?
According to Lin Qiye, he and his team members were washed ashore in this country by the sea, without learning the local language in advance, lacking the corresponding cultural knowledge, and unable to use the Forbidden Ruins… Surviving here must not be easy.
After all, when it comes to handling ‘human circle’ tasks, the Night Watchers of the Great Xia are still more professional than their Xie Society!
Well, at least they managed to ensure they weren’t exposed, which is quite impressive.
As Wei Dong imagined the tragic life of Lin Qiye’s team in the ‘human circle,’ admiration began to rise in his heart. Just then, a buzzing engine sound came from the distant road.
Everyone looked up to see beams of blinding headlights tearing through the silent night. A convoy of over thirty vehicles was speeding along the coastal road, moving in perfect unison toward them.
A convoy?
Wei Dong was taken aback.
Vroom vroom vroom—!
Immediately after, a whirring sound came from the distant night sky, as a helicopter followed closely behind the convoy, rapidly flying forward. It seemed to have spotted Lin Qiye and the others by the coast and began to circle above.
“A helicopter?!” the knight’s eyes widened. “Are we… being discovered by the ‘human circle’ managers?”
“Not quite,” Lin Qiye replied calmly. “It’s our people coming to pick us up.”
The thirty-plus cars came to a stop by the coastline, and the doors opened simultaneously. Members of the Black Kill Group, dressed in black suits, got out of the cars—about two hundred of them—marching toward Lin Qiye and the others with great momentum.
Are they here to fight?
Jialan silently gripped the handle of the black box.
“Boss Qiye, hello!!!”
At that moment, the two hundred or so people stood in front of Lin Qiye and suddenly bowed deeply, shouting loudly.
The sound startled Wu Xiangnan and Wei Dong.
They turned to look at Lin Qiye in confusion.
Lin Qiye’s mouth twitched slightly.
The helicopter hovered in the air, and a rope was lowered from the cabin door. A figure, holding the rope with one hand and smoking a cigarette, slid down from the sky and landed steadily on the ground.
His flowing cloud cloak billowed in the sea breeze as Shen Qingzhu took off his leather gloves, removed the cigarette from his mouth, tossed it onto the beach, and quickly walked toward Lin Qiye, speaking in a low voice:
“You said that fat guy is in trouble? Where is he? Does he need to go to the hospital? I had someone fly the helicopter over directly; if he needs to go to the hospital, we can get there in three minutes.”
Before he spoke, Wei Dong and the others thought he was a powerful figure from a local force in the ‘human circle.’ But when Shen Qingzhu spoke fluent Chinese, they realized that this man… was the team member Lin Qiye mentioned.
They glanced at the neatly lined-up two hundred subordinates behind them, then looked at the helicopter above, their mouths twitching wildly.
This situation… are you serious?!
