Chapter 289: Enough to Make a Mahjong Table
As the Evil Ancestor's Demon Seed completely disappeared within Li Tianwei's mind, it also meant that the Evil Ancestor's scheme left within the Forbidden Land of Taixu had been completely destroyed.
The Spirit Dragon looked at Li Tianwei, who still appeared as calm and composed as ever, and after confirming that he had not been affected by the Demon Seed invading his mind, it finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, the Spirit Dragon's body, which had expanded to ten thousand zhang, also gradually began shrinking.
The mighty and domineering giant dragon completely shrank back to its original size in only a few moments, becoming not even as long as Li Tianwei's arm.
A trace of weakness visibly appeared on the Spirit Dragon's face, and even the golden light covering its body had dimmed considerably.
Clearly, that eruption just now had placed an enormous burden on the Spirit Dragon.
Seeing this, Li Tianwei immediately arrived before the Spirit Dragon.
“Since everything's been dealt with, now it's your turn, what exactly was that thing just now, who is the Evil Ancestor, and what's going on with the Forbidden Land of Taixu.”
Li Tianwei looked directly at the Spirit Dragon and asked.
Because it had released so much power just now, the Spirit Dragon was extremely weak at this moment. Only after resting for a while did it finally gather its energy.
“That thing just now was called a Demon Seed, a separated body spread by a supreme existence among the Evil Demons that continuously corrodes and influences worlds.”
“The Evil Ancestor you speak of might simply be another name for this supreme existence!”
The Spirit Dragon cautiously looked at Li Tianwei and slowly revealed the information it knew.
“Continue.”
Seeing this, Li Tianwei merely nodded.
“As for the Forbidden Land of Taixu, that's a long story.”
The Spirit Dragon could not help sighing, but when Li Tianwei glanced at it, the Spirit Dragon immediately shuddered and repeatedly shook its head.
“Actually, it's not that long.”
“The Forbidden Land of Taixu was originally a Cave Heaven, created by several great experts of the Immortal Realm. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was a great war between the Evil Demons and the Immortals.”
“At that time, the great experts of the Immortal Realm performed deductions and calculated that hundreds of thousands of years later, the Evil Demons would weaken and the Child of an Era would emerge. They left all kinds of inheritances within the Forbidden Land of Taixu to assist the Child of an Era, thereby breaking through the Evil Demons' obstruction.”
“I was merely following the agreement and waiting here.”
After briefly explaining the situation, the Spirit Dragon recounted everything one by one.
As for Li Tianwei, after hearing the Spirit Dragon's words, he rested a hand against his chin and fell into thought.
“Then how did the Forbidden Land of Taixu end up like this?”
Li Tianwei asked again.
“I don't know either, perhaps the Evil Ancestor you mentioned discovered those great experts' plans and secretly made a move, intending to break their scheme!”
The Spirit Dragon shook its head and gave its own judgment.
“Those great experts were pretty useless, setting up a scheme like this only for it to be broken.”
Hearing this, Li Tianwei slightly spread both hands, finding it rather ridiculous.
After all, in Li Tianwei's view, such a scheme was simply laughable. The timespan was incredibly long, hundreds of thousands of years. Even if one's abilities were tremendous enough to calculate all kinds of possibilities, the slightest mistake would still result in losing the entire game.
Constant schemes and calculations, such strategies were among the most inferior kinds of plans.
If Li Tianwei were the one setting up the scheme, he would never bother with any of this. He would directly invite them over, hold a meeting, and surround and kill them. That was the simplest strategy.
Fewer people would know about it, the scheme could be executed quickly, there would be fewer chances for mistakes, and the timespan would be short. Those were absolute advantages.
However! The only drawback was that one needed absolute strength.
Clearly, judging solely from their scheme, those so-called great experts of the Immortal Realm were probably quite far behind the Evil Demons, which was why they had resorted to such a deeply flawed method of scheming.
Hundreds of thousands of years, who knew how many people would Ascend from a single world or how many geniuses would emerge? What if, during that time, a peerless genius appeared who could directly disregard the river of time, someone they could not calculate? Wouldn't all their efforts have been wasted?
Clearly, in Li Tianwei's view, that was precisely what had happened. They had calculated the emergence of the Child of an Era, but had failed to calculate his existence. Was that not the biggest problem?
“Sigh, why bother with all these schemes!”
Li Tianwei secretly thought this in his heart.
Hearing Li Tianwei's shameless inner thoughts once again, the System almost wanted to directly curse him.
But after thinking carefully, it suppressed the urge. First! It was not qualified to do so, and second, Li Tianwei really did possess such capabilities.
The System acknowledged Li Tianwei's ideas, his understanding, and his way of thinking, but! As for Li Tianwei's personality, it simply could not bring itself to like it.
【Keeping a low profile and developing steadily is the true path to victory.】
The System believed that its path was different from Li Tianwei's.
“Since the scheme has already been discovered, then this Forbidden Land of Taixu shouldn't have any use anymore.”
Li Tianwei had not forgotten his purpose for coming here, so he immediately asked the Spirit Dragon.
Li Tianwei considered himself a good person. For something with an owner like the Forbidden Land of Taixu, Li Tianwei would never simply seize it by force. At the very least, he had to ask first.
“It's useless now, the Evil Demons already know about our plans, so all the arrangements within the Forbidden Land of Taixu have been rendered pointless.”
Seeing this, the Spirit Dragon also shook its head and said.
“I also have to thank you, if not for your arrival, I might not have discovered it. Otherwise, when the Child of an Era emerged ten thousand years from now, if the Demon Seed invaded them, that would truly have brought catastrophe upon us.”
The Spirit Dragon was also an old fellow who had lived for such a long time, so naturally, it understood the meaning behind Li Tianwei's words.
Now that the Forbidden Land of Taixu was useless, only this World Embryo still had value. Since Li Tianwei had brought it up, going along with the flow and giving it to him could also be considered a good thing.
“If you need the Forbidden Land of Taixu, I'll give it to you as a gift of thanks, but as for the inheritances left behind by those great experts, according to the agreement, I have no way to hand them over to you.”
The Spirit Dragon also told him its intentions.
“Since you've put it that way, I'll accept it.”
Naturally, Li Tianwei would not refuse. As for those inheritances, Li Tianwei genuinely did not care about them.
The inheritances of a bunch of great experts from the Immortal Realm whose scheme had still been discovered by the Evil Demons probably were not anything impressive anyway.
Seeing Li Tianwei accept, the Spirit Dragon also breathed a sigh of relief before looking at Li Tianwei with incomparable seriousness.
“I've already exhausted most of my power, and I'll need a great deal of time to recover, if possible, please take me in for a while.”
“With your strength, it won't be long before you Ascend, perhaps once you reach the Immortal Realm, my knowledge of the Immortal Realm might be able to help you.”
The Spirit Dragon had not forgotten its current situation.
Hearing the Spirit Dragon say this, Li Tianwei looked it up and down before gently nodding.
Li Tianwei did not think there was anything wrong with having an additional Spirit Dragon around. He was merely helpless that yet another nonhuman thing had joined him.
A System, that Book Spirit, the Sun–Moon Banner, plus this dragon, these four fellows were just enough to make a full mahjong table.
None of these four things were human, yet every one of them possessed self-awareness. Li Tianwei could not help sigh
