Rina swung her cloak, crossed her arms, and struck a handsome pose like the protagonist of a tokusatsu film. Gongsun Cexu stared at her for nearly ten seconds. The latter's face turned red a little bit, and finally he threw up his ponytail angrily: "What are you doing, Xiao Ce, with that look in your eyes! Is it so weird for us to wear this?!"
"That's silly," Badman said.
"And, how should I put it..." Gongsun Ce thought about his words, "Senior sister, you wear men's clothes that are so close-fitting to the body that it's sad. This is really pfft!"
"Take the move, Jihui Division will destroy the sword!"
Rina's hand knife hit Gongsun Ce on the top of his head, causing great damage. The latter held his head and screamed: "Even the name of the special move has changed!"
"There is nothing we can do, after all, we are no longer a miko." Rina crossed her arms, "Our ideal is to quell the war and bring peace. And when it comes to the brave man who saves the world, it is Jihuiji."
The little miko spoke with a matter-of-fact expression, as if she was talking about common sense that everyone knew. Gongsun Ce sighed: "I understand, it's such a 'setting'... He is really a very evil guy."
"? Xiaoce, what are you talking about?"
Gongsun Ce gradually understood the mechanism of "reincarnation". He stood up, patted his senior sister on the head, and said sincerely: "Senior sister, as a person who grew up in Izumo Shrine since childhood, received the traditional education of Lingdao and inherited the shrine. As someone who has your own future goals, do you feel that the style of the nickname ‘Ji Hui Si’ is a bit mismatched with your own?”
"Forehead…………"
Rina pinched her chin like a master: "It seems a little but not a bit. Could it be that we were also attacked?"
"The conclusion is clear at a glance. I think Gongsun is more suitable for this nickname than you."
Another familiar voice broke into the conversation, so refreshing that you could imagine that handsome face without thinking. Rei Shigure walked out of the forest next to the waterfall and raised his hand to say hello to everyone. He was carrying a red cloth bag and carrying his furious girlfriend behind him. Caldesia was tightly tied up with a special rope and was persistently burning the ends of her boyfriend's hair with a small flame in the wonderful state of being gagged.
"The way you appear is really unique..." Gongsun Cexu said with eyes.
"If you don't want Caldesia to go out and hurt others and don't want her to be attacked, you can only use this method." Shigure-kun touched his girlfriend's head and was hit hard by the girl behind him, "Besides, I can temporarily We maintain normality because we made a deal. The price is to lose the will to fight within three days, and the reward is to be fully rational within three days. In fact, it is still affected by reincarnation. Please communicate with caution."
"As always, you will take advantage of loopholes, you scheming man."
"The more important reason is that the King of Equality doesn't bother to interfere. I don't think this little trick will faze him."
Shigure-kun sat down by the stream with his moaning girlfriend on his back, took out lunch boxes from the cloth bag and distributed them to everyone. The lunch box includes grilled kangaroo meat, rice balls, salad and Caldesia’s handmade biscuits, as well as Zero Island’s specialty energy drink. The four people quickly replenished their energy and communicated efficiently during the conversation.
"The current situation states that it is now the third year of the 'Equal King Rebellion'. Badman and I, as well as many people you know, are fighting under the banner of the 'Resistance Army' led by Rina, with the goal of ending the ninja war that has swept the world. And finally defeated King Ping Ping." Shigure Reiichi said, "At the same time, I clearly remember that Gongsun, you fought with the kings in Shenjing City 'not long ago'. Mo Yuankai called himself Jihui Division in Cangdu It's a 'later than that' thing, you know what I mean?"
"The passage of time becomes chaotic, and the world changes like a set of settings written in pencil in a notebook." Gongsun Ce said.
"Yes, it's like traveling to another world. The people are still the same, and all the past experiences are still there, but the identity has become different." Rina took a small bite of the rice ball, "We remember the 'last time' In this world, we were still fighting dragons on Zero Island. But in the world of 'this time', we became Jihui Division."
Gongsun Ce had a sour look on his face: "Why did my world-creating honorary name turn into something like this...a hero title passed down from generation to generation..."
"Not only that, this 'identity' also has important significance. Izumo Rina is currently the only person who can maintain her sanity without any special measures, and she has become our leader because of this."
Shigure-kun quietly pulled off his girlfriend's gag cloth and quickly threw a biscuit in before she could howl. Caldesia chewed it viciously and sprayed flames in his face with her mouth.
"Honey, I'll kill you!"
"Ah, it's so hot..."
"Damn this idiot burned himself again!" "Treat it quickly! Xiaoce, go and stop Caldesia's mouth!"
Gongsun Ce silently covered his face, confirming once again that these people can live a fun life wherever they are. It took them five minutes to control Caldesia and solve lunch. After that, the four people who completed the intelligence exchange began to speculate.
"From the current point of view, the reincarnation of the God of Desolation is essentially a mass killing field with continuous fighting and increasing intensity." Gongsun Ce drew a circle on the ground, with an arrow on each side of the circle to represent "self-circulation."
"It doesn't matter even if you die in this world, because everyone will be resurrected in the next reincarnation, and the final winner who defeats everyone can defeat the King of Equality and become the god of the new world. The total number of reincarnations seems to be 33 trillion, in different times During reincarnation, the 'world view' may change, and a person's identity and position may change accordingly. The special identity among them is 'Silent Hui Division', which was my former nickname. What's the problem here? "
"Yes." Badman raised his hand, "What kind of bad name is the God of Desolation and My Reincarnation? Does it mean that I will become a god?"
"The sentence segmentation is wrong, Mr. Badman. The correct interpretation should be Huang Dou·Shenme·Reincarnation." Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses, "Have you ever heard of the concept of 'Godself'?"
"I will know that there is a ghost."
The little witch with rich professional knowledge took a sip of her drink and began to explain to laymen: "In Buddhist thought, there is the so-called 'no-self', which can be roughly understood as 'no me', 'not me'. This word refers to It is a superb state of detachment from oneself and seeing through the world, just like Qin Qianbai who has entered the final state.
The term 'god-self' is at the opposite end of the spectrum from 'no-self'. It is 'the self that pervades the universe'. I am everywhere, I am integrated into everything, and therefore I am immortal. It is an abstract representation of 'absolute spirit' and can be seen as the core of reincarnation. "
Badman had "What the hell are you talking about" written all over his face.
Shigure Reiichi took over the important task of explaining: "Do you know the coordinate system?"
"A cross-shaped thing used in drawing."
"That's the common Cartesian coordinate system. The coordinate system exists to accurately describe the motion of an object, but the coordinate system itself can be changed. You can choose a different origin and set the number of coordinate axes to your personal preference. and direction. In different coordinate systems, the position of the moving point is also different..."
Reiichi Shigure used a branch to draw a simple rectangular coordinate system on the ground, and dropped a stone on the y-axis. He then erased the previous coordinate system and drew a complex geometric figure like a spider web with the stone as the center.
"Now the stone has come to the origin from (0, 1)." Shigurei knocked on the stone, "Has the position of the stone changed?"
"Isn't the stone always in the same place? It doesn't matter if the picture you drew has changed." Badman looked like he had eaten a fly.
"Yes, the stone itself will not change. The coordinate system was drawn to depict it. This stone is the god, and the coordinate axis is the world in our eyes." Shigurei nodded, "The material world is easy to change. All things in the world are constantly changing, but the absolute spirit will not be affected by this process. The 'God Self' is the highest and the first. It is the beginning of reincarnation and the origin of life, so it is regarded as the first cause of the beginning of all things."
Badman thought hard for a while and tried to organize his words: "That is to say, a super strong, super hard thing! It can create anything, and it will not be affected by the outside world, right?"
"With your level, it's great to be able to understand it to this extent." Gongsun Ce said, "From this perspective, the reincarnation of the "god" itself refers to the reincarnation of the "god" itself. It makes things that should not change in the first place. The highest spirit' circulates in reincarnation... It turns out that this is really a bad guy..."
Rinaixu looked at Gongsun Ce who was talking to himself: "He seems to have understood something on his own."
"It's something we can't help with, right?" Mr. Shiyu smiled, "Looks like you're ready, Gongsun?"
"Time is tight. We have spent ten minutes communicating and resting. Even if there is no chance of winning, we have to try again." Gongsun Ce stood up, "I don't want to say anything depressing, but I don't know what will happen next time we meet. Okay, I wish everyone peace."
"Don't worry, Xiao Ce, you must be fine!" Rina raised her thumb, "Although we can't help much, even if you fail, we will continue to work hard."
"Hurry up and end it..." Badman sighed, "I've had enough of this crazy place. I want to go to the bar to have a drink and fall asleep..."
Shi Yulian thought for a moment, took off his gloves, and stretched out his scarred hand to Gongsun Ce.
"Hey, Gongsun, this is a parting gift."
Gongsun Ce raised his eyebrows and shook hands with him.
"The price is the disappearance of the cursed balance." Shigure Reiichi said, "The reward is to give Gongsun Ce good luck."
The ghost figure holding the scale appeared, shattered and disappeared like a phantom. Rei Shigure shook his friend's hand hard and gave him a mischievous smile in surprise.
"Just like what you said, Gongsun, I don't know when we will meet again next time. There is no point in using the cursed balance during reincarnation, and if the reincarnation is lifted..." Shigure-kun withdrew his hand, "You can also take the opportunity to practice. The new law of impermanence, a good deal, right?”
"Just think of it as psychological comfort and set out with good luck. Win, Gongsun!"
Shi Yurei smiled relaxedly and at ease, no different from when he chatted with him before. Gongsun Ce suddenly felt that he had returned to his leisurely daily life. They've all gone through a lot more than before, but some things won't change.
"Thanks, buddy." He smiled hard, "You know I've always had bad luck, this is a big help!"
Gongsun Ce turned around and faced everyone. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by an almost boiling fighting spirit.
If you want to win, you must win, not just for yourself, but also for the future that everyone expects. Everyone has worked hard enough, and everyone hopes for a peaceful life. This suffering world must not allow madmen to wreak havoc. Even if we try our best, we must defeat the King of Equality!
He made seals and shouted loudly. The arm of the demon struck out repeatedly with fanatical rage, breaking the second reincarnation and turning the mirror of the world into pieces again!
Gongsun Ce stood in the rain of fragments, and the nearly infinite fragments reflected his face, reflecting an almost indifferent gaze. His strength was weakened, but his will to fight was much stronger than before.
The Demon's Hand held a pure white sword. This time Gongsun Ce directly used the Star God Sword, anchoring the fragments of the world with the power of Pure Light Heaven's pursuit of truth. He summoned the gray barrier fire, and his tone was as cold as the boy before: "I say it again, get out, King Ping. Otherwise, I will burn your world to ashes!"
"How scary~" The man's low laughter sounded, "When did you become such a heartless person? Those are all your friends, Gongsun Ce."
Gongsun Ce crushed the flames, and the coldness in his eyes was burned away by the fire of rage. Of course, he didn't intend to break the pot. The purpose of his threat was to elicit a response from King Ping. If there was a response, there would be "traces" brought about by the communication, and those traces were the way of contact. He threw out the Immortal Binding Rope, and the chain that specifically restrained the soul flew out along the traces in the dark, outlining the path to the Throne of Equality!
"No, I was fooled. As expected of you, you are such an excellent fraudster!"
The king in the depths laughed and applauded. Under the winding and circling Immortal Binding Rope, a transparent road emerged from the rain, extending far away to the dark blue throne that appeared at an unknown time. Gongsun Ce grasped the chain tightly and ran forward wildly. The man on the throne held his face with one hand and watched the world turned into fragments. The pictures in those fragments changed according to his thoughts, turning into pictures from the past.
In the fragment, Gongsun Ce slays a dragon with a sword, Gongsun Ce fights in the city, he meets his lover, he challenges the king... When every scene appears, he stands in the most conspicuous position, as if he is the most prominent person under the spotlight. Compelling starring role.
"Please watch, my friend. This is the great cause you have established." King Pingping looked in his direction, "From the Kingdom to Lingdao, from United to the Empire, your legend is known to everyone. You slayed the dragon and knocked down the king. You saved countless people and protected the fragile world. Even Tianji and Mingke cannot replace your position. If our story is a book, then 'Silent Hui Division' Gongsun Ce is the well-deserved ‘protagonist’ of this book!”
"——But why are you the only protagonist?"
Bang, King Pingping snapped his fingers. The scene in the endless fragments changed, and the focus of the battlefield became a young man with long glazed hair. Mo Yuankai wore the uniform of Jihui Division and fought on a similar but different battlefield. King Pingping's laughter sounded like a narration: "Because you are a superpower in the Sky City? But Mo Yuankai also has superpowers. Or, he looks more handsome and has a stronger mentality. Compared to an awkward and petty guy like you, 'Big Brother' is more like the protagonist of the kingly way, isn't he?"
"So what?" Gongsun Ce said coldly, "You can praise me more, I will be happy to hear it."
"The mentality is really good, then let's change the angle."
King Pingpin shook his finger, and the scene in the fragment changed again. The battlefield turned into ninjas and priests who were constantly conquering, and the protagonist in the center of the scene became Izumo Rina. He changed his position on the throne and said happily: "Think about it from another angle, is it because you are a disciple of Tenji? Izumo Rina is also a disciple of Tenji, and she is also a genius with excellent talents. If the story is based on her If the perspective is expanded, can’t she also become the protagonist?”
"Let's think about your characteristics again. A miserable past? Reiichi Shigure's past was even more miserable than yours. A peerless genius? Orus Optimis's talent is not any worse than yours!"
The third reincarnation appears, Shigure Reiichi dressed up as Jihuiji fights in a world full of curses. Then came the fourth reincarnation, where Orus, dressed up by Jihui Si, fought against various mechanical monsters. The rain of destruction swirls in the laughter of the king, and the pictures of the world change endlessly like the refraction of light. Endless pictures appear and rotate, like a kaleidoscope of gods.
Gongsun Ce saw Caldesia's world, John's world, and Chi Zijing's world. At the center of each world are them dressed as Jihui Si. The operation of those worlds seems so natural and seamless. Even if someone else is replaced as the protagonist, the story can still develop smoothly.
Gongsun Ce thought that all the reincarnations were illusions, and he only ran towards the King of Equality. But no matter how hard he tried, the distance between the two never narrowed. The man on the throne was close at hand but far away. He clasped his hands in front of his chest and smiled faintly at Gongsun Ce.
"Of course you can get the answer if you are smart. The reason is 'no reason'. Nothing, nothing, does not exist. People who push the world forward, people who lead the changes of the times, their appearance is an 'inevitability' derived from personal quality, and even more so It is destined to be 'accidental' due to changes in the base of the group and the environment. The difference lies only in the angle in which the story unfolds. As long as those with quality have the opportunity to stand in the center of the stage, they have the possibility of becoming a new protagonist."
"However, what should people who have no power and bad luck do? Such guys will never have the possibility of becoming the protagonist in their lives. Isn't this too unfair to them?"
King Pingding knocked his head and spoke with a trace of nostalgia: "I don't like such a story. I praise the strong and sympathize with the weak, praise the good and appreciate the evil. So I created my wild fighting world, where everyone fights endlessly. A world of plundering power. Everyone has the same starting point. I think this is fair... But I never expected the final outcome. The coldest king actually came out of my world. How could my beautiful wishes be extended? The existence of madness and persistence?"
"Because you are wrong!" Gongsun Ce sneered, "You are totally wrong, King of Pingping!"
"It's really the right answer, it's really the right argument! I was wrong, King Ping was so wrong!"
King Pingping stood up from the throne. He was clearly blaming himself for his mistakes, but his voice was as loud as singing a hymn. His eyes felt familiar to Gongsun Ce. Every king had similar eyes, firm, stubborn and paranoid, like a blazing fire. The fuel of the flame was their eternal persistence.
"I didn't think about the fate of the 'loser'! I didn't think about the prayers of the 'weak'!
The emergence of order is inevitable, and this is the development that should be taken for granted. Whenever there is a battle, there will be a winner and a loser. If someone wins, someone will lose. One general's achievements lead to thousands of bones being withered, and under the throne of the Supreme Being are piles of bones. What meaning does the victory gained through fighting mean to the dead? Such a world is absolutely unfair to the losers! "
"So, I made a 'change'. Incorporated into the Unification Technique, sought the power of other kings, and ultimately changed my own world. Since my world will make the weak and losers unfortunate, let me solve the problem fundamentally.
——As long as the weak and losers do not exist! "
King Pingcheng slowly clenched his fist, and the fragments of the infinite world flashed at the same time. A different face was displayed in the center of each fragment. Among them were human faces, some were dragon heads, some were even hiding gods, some were Jingzhenren, some were eager beasts... Faces that were either familiar or unfamiliar were floating in the world, and their sights were focused on King Ping Ping. .
"Fight with peace of mind! Fight with peace of mind! Even if you fail this time, there is no problem, because in the next reincarnation, a new person will become the winner. There is no need to pay attention to the order or luck, everyone's success and failure It’s all doomed. Among the 33 trillion reincarnations, there must be a chance of victory for you!”
"This is my reincarnation, this is the reincarnation of the 'god self'!" King Pingping opened his hands and smiled at Gongsun Ce and all the faces in the fragments: "The absolutely unchanging supreme spirit will come to everyone equally. On people. Everyone will experience the same pain, and everyone can have the same achievements. In my new world, everyone can become an absolutely unchanged 'protagonist'. Until the end of 33 trillion reincarnations , all members will become the absolute 'god self', and then the transformation of the world will be declared complete!"
Gongsun Ce stopped.
I don’t know what the effect of the spell is, or what method the king used. The distance between them remained unchanged, and King Ping was still sitting far away. Gongsun Ce didn't plan to approach anymore. He looked up at the king at the top, his words full of sarcasm and coldness: "Is this your dream? It's so crazy and great, what a self-deceiving dream. Keep talking. Well, you can use all the beautiful words to decorate your world, but in the end you will sink forever in the quagmire of narcissism. Because no second person will understand you, and no second person will care about you. As long as there is a spirit, They will all rise up and defeat you, but you keep talking about a fair duel, but you dare not face my wrath!"
The man on the throne listened to all the words quietly without interrupting or refuting. He stepped down from the throne and came to Gongsun Ce in just one step. The distance between the two is less than one meter, which is literally within reach of both of them.
"Then come, friend." King Ping said, "I can't defend or dodge, but can you defeat me?"
The roar of rage like a ghost replaced the words, and Gongsun Ce's anger turned into gray flames, burning the world into a sea of fire. He roared and punched out with both fists, and Yama Demona fully appeared. The demon came out with six arms and six seals, attacking the king at the closest distance. Unprecedented anger has become the fuel of the demon. This blow has surpassed all Gongsun Ce's previous methods. It is a truly powerful blow!
However, Gongsun Ce's attack was blocked, and King Pingping only used one finger. The demon's six fists were frozen in the air, posing no threat to the enemy as before. It retracted its arms and punched out. The burning fists fell like rain, but King Pingping's fingers did not move at all. Gongsun Ce gritted his teeth silently. This time he finally saw clearly the king's methods.
King Pingping was not attacked by him at all! The demon seemed to have hit the king's body, but there was always a "distance" between the fist and the fingers. After the distance is shortened by one-half, it has to pass through half of the next distance, followed by another half of the next distance...
Like the paradox of "a flying arrow cannot move", like a speedy runner who can never catch up to a turtle, Gongsun Ce's attacks keep moving forward, but the distance between him and the king is always infinite. The existence of reality is distorted by the mind, and the limited distance becomes eternity in the hands of the king!
"Try a few more times, but the result is the same. You will never be able to defeat me." King Pingping said lightly, "I'm not surprised you have such thoughts. I know you are such a person. Although you are smart, you always He likes to rely on power to break the situation, which is exactly the same as the King of Silence who brings destruction. Your thinking is always the same. When encountering difficulties, use power to break it! Use more power to solve difficult spells! Use emotions to promote power to let The emotions in your heart are transformed into the strongest moves. As long as you exert enough force, there is no opponent you can't defeat. Come on, Setsuna Spiral! Come on, Twin Stars: Destruction! Come on, use the maximum power of the Final Sword!"
He vividly imitated Gongsun Ce's tone, but there was no smile in his eyes: "This is the typical thinking of the strong. You can always solve problems with stronger power. But I am the King of Equality, and I am the partner of the weak... … In my world, strength is not everything, and it never will be.”
He raised his hand and pressed down, and the distance between the two suddenly became out of reach, like a chasm in the sky. King Ping Ping was so far away in Gongsun Ce's eyes, like a blue planet at the top of the sky.
Gongsun Ce rushed forward unrelentingly. He used various means to defeat the unknown spell, but his attacks still had no effect. He also wanted to use wisdom to analyze and use logic to find out the enemy's methods, but King Pingping didn't leave any clues.
This is a person who is impeccable. He is usually willing to give you all kinds of gifts, but when he really decides to become your enemy, you will not be able to find even a "flaw" or "opportunity." Because the king has already planned everything, a long time ago...
"Goodbye, Gongsun Ce." King Pingping turned around, "This time, you lose."
"Stop, King Pingping!" Gongsun Ce's voice was hoarse, "Stop!"
Gongsun Ce ran relentlessly, trying to get closer to the blue light. But the light faded away, leaving him alone in the darkness. He gradually felt tired, gradually lost strength, his loud voice became hoarse, and the fire in his heart became fainter. Finally, Yan Tianmoluo dimly disappeared, and Gongsun Ce lowered his arms feebly.
He fell from an endless height and fell into darkness together with the rain of fragments.
