Chapter 509 I Can Be This Strong?! (7000, Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

This was unlike the great battle against the Mother Nest that occurred when Bai Yingxue was still a nobody.

The Zhitong Disaster, or rather, the Spiritualization Disaster, was a great catastrophe in which Bai Yingxue participated from beginning to end.

From the time she advanced to the Extraordinary realm until she became a leader, during that period of her youthful growth, her daily task was basically dealing with various spiritualized Zhitong.

Although the objects of her battles were mostly suddenly spiritualized refrigerators, inexplicably rebellious microwave ovens, and air conditioners that felt their masters weren't using them correctly and insisted on adjusting the temperature themselves—such inexplicable monsters made Bai Yingxue's early battles seem very childish, with a magical girl style…

But even in a heavily defended metropolis like Modu, it required a teenage cultivator to fight against the Zhitong. One could imagine the urgency of the situation at that time.

In short, that's why she was so familiar with and concerned about Tang Yuan, the 'Spirit King', who, in a sense, was the biggest contributor to the Spiritualization Disaster.

The Tang family, an unremarkable family of soul manipulators.

And Tang Yuan was the abandoned member of this family.

In the early days of the Spirit Qi Revival, the Tang family had cooperated with the mysterious organization, the Descending Spirit Society.

Many things happened during this period, which are inconvenient to describe in detail, but that's roughly it.

The entire Tang family was wiped out, and the aftermath of the Nine Nether Realm incident was also quelled.

Only Tang Yuan, who had clearly left the Tang family but was still regarded as a dangerous element and wanted nationwide, remained.

At that time, Tang Yuan was completely at a loss.

The Tang family was destroyed, and he no longer had any enemies.

Having just been released from prison not long ago, Tang Yuan had no one he cared about in this world.

The lonely young man was wanted by humans for 'crimes against humanity'. This was the second time he had been wronged, saddled with crimes that had nothing to do with him.

Therefore, from then on, he no longer had any ties to the human world, and human society rejected his existence.

At that time, Tang Yuan chose to escape into the deep mountains and old forests, even into otherworld domains, speaking to the unfamiliar rocks and soil, accompanied by flowers, birds, grass, and trees.

"If... plants can have spirits, and objects can be animated... then is there still a need for humans to exist?"

"At least for me, it's about the same."

By the time Tang Yuan, who had been forgotten for a long time, reappeared in the public eye, he had grown into the 'Spirit King', capable of spiritualizing plants, rocks, and even human-made objects like cars and houses with a mere touch.

Appearing in the world for the first time in this guise, Tang Yuan didn't cause any destruction, nor did he clash with any national forces.

He simply, continuously, and even crazily, spiritualized everything around him, creating tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of tsukumogami (tool spirits) and Zhitong.

Later, Tang Yuan could even integrate himself into the wind, clouds, rain, and atmospheric circulation, forcibly spiritualizing the clouds and turning them into 'Imperial Dew', spiritualizing all spiritual things in entire cities...

In short, this involved a group of countries and sensitive content that's not suitable for description.

Along the way, Tang Yuan eventually arrived at Kyushu Island in Yingzhou, where he created a veritable 'Eight Million Gods', building a kingdom belonging to spiritualized beings and animated Zhitong.

And he was the king of all spiritualized creatures.

Hence the name 'Spirit King'.

Countless tools and Zhitong that had awakened self-awareness were a threat to human life itself.

According to calculations, if Tang Yuan were allowed to continue to exist, all of human civilization would suffer immense losses as a result.

Therefore, in the end, the 'Spirit Kingdom' located on Kyushu Island was attacked by a joint army of nations, with countless troops and transcendents coming to conquer this inhuman kingdom.

And Tang Yuan was eventually killed by Ying Long Su Zhou along the coast.

That battle even triggered a large-scale eruption of the Sakura Island volcano in Kyushu, with endless lava engulfing many cities on Kyushu Island, completely erasing the last trace of the Spirit Kingdom.

Since then, global monitoring of spiritualized intelligence has become much stricter, and even by the time Bai Yingxue was reborn, artificial intelligence had not been granted any human rights.

"Little girl, it seems you know me very well, but you're also very unfamiliar with me."

At this moment, Tang Yuan's 3D projection smiled and motioned for Bai Yingxue to sit in the chair in front of the desk in the quiet room.

He had taken some time out of his busy schedule to personally see this black-haired girl who Su Zhou had specifically instructed to be given special attention.

Originally, Tang Yuan was a bit puzzled.

After all, with Su Zhou's strength and realm, what was a slightly abnormal little girl? Even if she killed the Mother Nest, so what?

His own actions back then were far more astonishing than Bai Yingxue's, and the monsters and experts he had killed were even more surprising than the Mother Nest.

But after personally meeting her, Tang Yuan carefully examined the girl and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Phoenix bloodline?!"

The young secretary gasped: "No way, could it be that Minister Tang Yuan is the real Bai Ze? We just said the Phoenix bloodline might appear, and now a nearly pure-blooded Phoenix actually shows up?!"

He couldn't help but be amazed.

But how could Tang Yuan's surprise compare to Bai Yingxue's?

Staring at the 'Spirit King' in front of her, the girl looked him up and down several times, but still rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

"This, is this really the Spirit King Tang Yuan?"

The Spirit King, who in the past didn't want to harm humans and simply didn't need them, now appeared before Bai Yingxue not as the lonely but candid powerhouse she remembered.

Tang Yuan, appearing before her as a 3D projection, looked more like a typical office worker on the street.

Wearing a wrinkled black suit, with dark circles under his eyes, messy medium-length hair tied up with a rubber band in the style of an elementary school girl—if you added his decent looks, but anxious and tired face, and the subtle expressions that had become habitual from being overworked...

The current Tang Yuan looked exactly like an ordinary office worker tool who was about to be fired next month!

With the sharp eyes of a divine bird, Bai Yingxue could even see that the screensaver on Tang Yuan's phone was a cute-looking elementary school girl with her eyes closed... Could it be that she was the one who fixed Tang Yuan's hair?

And behind the girl, there was a black luxury car displaying a 'heart' emoticon on the light screen.

Correction—the current Tang Yuan was like a married office worker tool!

"—Oh my god |д?)!"

Apart from uttering "Oh my god" in her heart, Bai Yingxue was basically speechless at this moment...

How could she imagine?! The powerful and lonely Spirit King who had almost single-handedly created the Spiritualization Disaster now looked like an ordinary young office worker!

...Speaking of which, who is that girl? Is she his daughter?

If so, who is the wife?

"The Spirit King who doesn't need humans... After finding a source of emotional support... would actually become like this..."

Looking at Tang Yuan, who was now subconsciously yawning, the girl murmured to herself, her tone full of realization: "I see, I understand!"

Tang Yuan, unaware that she was talking about him and clueless about what she understood, looked down at his watch. After confirming that he had forty minutes to communicate with her, he coughed and said seriously:

"Ms. Bai Yingxue, we know your secrets very well."

"Just as you guessed, if you didn't come to us, the Bureau would have come to you."

"We are very interested in why you suddenly demonstrated such powerful and solid Taoist skills—with your age and resources, this level of skill is impossible for you, a high school student with an ordinary, even mediocre family background and talent, unless..."

At this point, Tang Yuan paused slightly, then said with a hint of subtlety and a sharp tone: "Unless, you are not the original 'Bai Yingxue'."

"But a powerful soul has possessed her body, or even 'taken over' her body!"

Tang Yuan's words carried a hint of sternness, and the spiritual pressure spread secretly.

If an ordinary, normal high school girl were scolded like this and subjected to spiritual pressure from afar, she would at least be frightened into a paralyzed state, if not worse.

Even with a natural iron will, there would at least be some reaction.

And if it were an ancient ghost who had possessed her, the spirit-suppressing charms prepared in the quiet room, combined with Tang Yuan's spiritual techniques, would inevitably cause her to fall into a state of complete chaos due to the resonance rate between the body and soul.

In general, related anomalies could definitely be detected.

However, the result was very strange.

Facing Tang Yuan's coercion, Bai Yingxue only sighed, but showed no further reaction.

"Is that what you guys are guessing? I can't say you're wrong."

She didn't show any fear, nor did she fall into confusion. The girl's eyes were clear, containing a trace of sincerity and confidence from the bottom of her heart: "It's just that my situation is a bit complicated and can't be generalized like that."

Bai Yingxue sat in the chair, supporting her forehead with one hand, and shook her head slightly: "How should I put it? After all, in this inexplicable world, I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few old fogeys who had taken over bodies... No, I do remember a few old fogeys."

Muttering to herself, Bai Yingxue suddenly thought of many things.

Immediately, her expression became serious. Bai Yingxue stared sharply at Tang Yuan, and when he was slightly startled, she calmly said: "Although I've been shocked again and again, in the final analysis, it's just that this world is a bit too good, making me a little afraid that this is also a dream, a dream like my previous life."

"Taking over... perhaps, maybe I took over myself, or maybe I took over myself from another world... But according to the current situation, I estimate that I may have just spent twenty years in a dream world."

"That's why I'm afraid, afraid that all this beauty will cease to exist."

Saying this, Bai Yingxue sighed again, her expression still solemn—then, the girl stretched out her hand, and wisps of Xuanming (Mystic Dark) Ice Hua (flower) Qi (energy) leaked out from her white and slender fingertips.

In an instant, accompanied by a wave of spiritual energy, Xuan (Mystic) black ripples spread, and all the detection arrays and various cameras and recorders in the entire quiet room were sealed off.

All channels for transmitting information to the outside world were completely blocked.

"Impressive!"

This exquisite and peerless micro-manipulation technique of spiritual energy immediately made Tang Yuan's pupils shrink and his expression grave.

Although this move only seemed to interrupt communication, if this technique were used to deal with magic arrays, it would be enough to easily extinguish most of the spells and make the arrays congeal and difficult to operate.

This was the highest-grade 'Xuanming (Mystic Dark) Congealing Vein Spirit Breaking Method'!

But after doing all this, Bai Yingxue didn't do anything else superfluous.

"Please forgive me."

She simply retracted her hand and candidly said: "The matter is of great importance, and I don't want some information to be leaked."

"You, Spirit... Mr. Tang Yuan may not believe the following news, but I can guarantee that every word is true."

"...I will listen carefully."

Narrowing his eyes, with his hands in front of him, Tang Yuan said seriously: "Please speak, Ms. Bai."

Time passed like this.

Under Bai Yingxue's brief, concise, but very clear and intuitive narrative, Tang Yuan gradually frowned, leaned forward, and widened his eyes, starting from his initial routine business.

"What?"

"So that's how it is..."

"Are you sure what you're saying is true?! Ah, I'm not saying you have to swear an oath on your Dao Heart..."

"Now that I think about it carefully, indeed, if it weren't for Minister Su Zhou, such a development would indeed not be strange..."

Similar words came one after another.

Tang Yuan even exclaimed when he heard a certain part of the content.

"Huh?! What did you say?!"

"I can be this strong?!"

……

"...What, a reborn person?"

When Shao Qiming, who was in the Tiandu headquarters office of the Zhuzhao Group, learned of the news conveyed by Tang Yuan, the young man, who had always been in control and confident in everything he did, couldn't help but reveal an extremely rare expression of bewilderment.

A reborn person... returning to his youth from twenty years later... died in a battle with explorers from the Myriad Worlds, and human civilization was fighting with multiple realms and civilizations at that time...

—Isn't this something that only happens in novels?

Shao Qiming's first thought was indeed like this.

But soon, after thinking carefully, Shao Qiming couldn't help but chuckle and say to himself: "Hey, isn't the Spirit Qi Revival already novel enough? Even A’Zhou can travel to different worlds, so it wouldn't be strange if there really were a reborn person."

"Even a housekeeping robot No. 0079 would have started a system-flow plot if it weren't for its one-track mind."

This world was filled with all kinds of wonderful things and miraculous events. The existence of a reborn person was surprising, but before confirming their true identity and the reliability of the information, it was best not to have too high expectations.

Shao Qiming had always been rational.

The office of the Zhuzhao Group was dimly lit. Unlike most cultivators of the Divine Tree Method, who liked bright sunshine, Shao Qiming had always liked to work in the dark since a long time ago.

Because he knew very well after obtaining the inheritance of the Fusang Tree that what he needed was not to be bathed in light, but to 'bring light to other beings'.

Not needing the gift of other beings, but being able to exist on his own and still allow others to be bathed in grace, was the path of the Divine Tree cultivation of his lineage.

Only when the Golden Crow was born in the Fusang Tree—or in terms of cultivation, when Shao Qiming's own eyes transformed into the Blazing Sun Divine Eyes—would this Divine Tree cultivation method be considered complete.

Tang Yuan conveyed too much information, and it was transmitted using an encrypted soul lock by Yan Sheng, so the young man spent some time unlocking the files and then browsing them in chronological order.

But at the very beginning, Shao Qiming couldn't help but frown.

But soon, he understood and then seemed to be lost in thought: "So that's how it is, in that possibility, I die very quickly... Not strange, I know my body better than anyone else, as long as there's a slight problem, I'm really dead."

After roughly browsing the relevant documents, the young man narrowed his eyes, his eyes flashing with a strange light: "Interesting, when A’Zhou comes back, show him this information, and he might be able to deduce what's going on."

"Is it a real space-time distortion that caused her to be reborn in her youth, or... is this a 'change' brought down by a great existence?"

"However, according to what this lady said, the Myriad Worlds Explorers she mentioned are very similar to the adventurers in the 'Pioneer Space'..."

After thinking for a while, Shao Qiming had a private chat with Tang Yuan for a while, and instructed him to convey this message to Su Zhou as soon as he returned.

And in this process, Shao Qiming learned another rather unexpected, but not at all surprising, piece of news.

"According to Bai Yingxue, during the period of 2018~2020, many ancient inheritances, reincarnated demons, and all kinds of ancient beings who did not leave the Immortal Heaven with the former immortals and gods, but sought various methods to lurk in the ancient land of the Divine Court, will appear in the world."

"Some of them cooperate with the government, some are hostile to the government, some even join the ranks of mysterious organizations, or even carry out violent rule locally, resisting the olive branch extended by the government."

"Now, these ancient beings should have gained a little momentum. If we want to eradicate or subdue them, now should be a good time."

That's what Tang Yuan said. He obviously believed what Bai Yingxue said.

After all, even if she wanted to fabricate it, it would be impossible to fabricate so many detailed and well-founded details. Bai Yingxue's understanding of the essence of his ability was so profound that Tang Yuan was secretly startled.

You know, since he became Su Zhou's secretary, he has basically not fought alone. Apart from some research units of the Daoji Bureau, who would know the details of his abilities?

But for the world where Bai Yingxue was, Tang Yuan was a strategic target, and his abilities were not only analyzed, but were cut open countless times by the official authorities of those countries in that possibility.

"Oh, that."

Hearing this, Shao Qiming couldn't help but smile slightly: "She sees it very clearly."

—It seems that this Bai Yingxue is indeed quite interesting.

Recently, various comprehensive sports competitions hosted by the Zhuzhao Group, or even spread to the whole world, aim, in addition to leading the meaning of 'competition' and 'innovation' and making the originally calm civilization atmosphere gradually heat up, one of the most important purposes is to fish.

To fish out those Celestial God Kin and all kinds of anomaly.

And the resurrected ancient immortal gods and demonic remnants are part of it.

Very few people know this plan, and only Su Zhou and Shao Qiming understand the full picture. Bai Yingxue was able to directly point out the key, even if it was luck, it was very good luck.

Thinking of this, the young man slowly replied to Tang Yuan at the other end of the communication: "I know about this—isn't she, Bai Yingxue, essentially one of them?"

Then, he raised his other hand, picked up the stack of documents not far away, and woodenized hair picked out sheets of paper from the stack of documents, with Bai Yingxue's avatar and all historical data at the front.

All the documents in the file pile were similar.

—From Dianzhou, a suspected protégé of the great existence 'Destiny', [Wu Xinjie]. Behind the document is the entire information of the Spirit Inviting Wu family.

—From Tibet, speculated to be the reincarnation of the ancient snow mountain demon kingdom demon god, the heavenly young genius, [Ga Duo Renzeng]. Behind is the speculation argument for the Ga Duo Renzeng body.

—From Hunan, suspected ancestor should be the great existence 'Lord of Silence' kindred direct blood descendants of [Yu Zhenxin]. The follow-up is the result of the relevant blood test.

—From... already signed a contract with Zhuzhao Group, completely explored a clean slate, confirmed that there is the ancient god tree, [Sala Twin Trees] instructed the growth of [Bo Qingye]. The follow-up is the specific information of the Sala Twin Trees and Bo Qingye's family background.

—From...

With various means and related official authority, Shao Qiming had already found most of the 'anomalies' that could be in this one-month comprehensive sports competition preliminary round.

Staring at the documents in his hand, the gentle youth smiled slightly.

Then, he stretched out his hand, a mass of cyan-green wood-based spiritual light converged from all over his body to his palm, and immediately, a faint light illuminated the entire dim office, and a rich life aura spread.

Sha——Shasha.

A slight tremor sounded, like the sound of branches shaking, full of vitality.

Shao Qiming calmly stared at the spiritual light group in his hand, which had a clear aura of the great existence 'Divine Tree', and remained silent.

Then, when the spiritual light in his palm transformed into a celestial green golden sapling that resembled the spirit of the Tree of Wisdom in Su Zhou's soul space, he softly muttered to himself: "Anomaly..."

"After all, it's not just A’Zhou who can tell who is the kindred of the great existence."

"The current me, can also."

Clenching his hand, he covered the golden-green sapling in his hand, and took back the vitality of the anomaly.

The office returned to darkness again.

Shao Qiming closed his eyes, he chuckled: "If we talk about who is the biggest anomaly in this era, then it can only be A’Zhou."

"But I, as a person who has also followed and witnessed the great existence, it is not too much to rank second, right?"

On the office table, in the white crystal bottle.

Originally, a full bottle of World Dust now had only three-fifths left.

At the same time.

Universe.

The Yaoguang (Jumping Light) spaceship, when preparing for warp jump calculations.

Su Zhou, standing at the top of the spaceship with his arms folded, looked at the rather dim sun in the distance, then raised his head and looked at the countless endless cracks that were still traversing the universe in space.

After a while, the young man slowly spoke.

"Although, it should have been a question that should have been asked a long time ago, but I only suddenly remembered it now."

"Yala, how many great existences are you familiar with in total?"
