Chapter 208 Yamata No Orochi Who Is Afraid of Death
"You must know, right?" Yamata no Orochi looked at me and said very seriously: "Please, tell me. As long as I can keep my head, I can do anything."
"Well..." I hesitated for a while before I said: "Actually, telling you is not a big problem, but the problem is that even if I tell you before, the result will not change at all."
"What?" Yamata no Orochi asked in confusion.
I said helplessly: "About this, I think you should know something about it. Cause and effect, chance, many things are destined. Even if I tell you what will happen, and you try your best to avoid it, you will still leave in the end. To the same path.”
As soon as Yamata no Orochi heard what I said, he immediately softened, because he knew that I was telling the truth. A powerful creature of his level would know a little bit about this kind of thing, so he also knew that what I said was very reasonable. . However, Yamata no Orochi is obviously not the type to give up easily. This is a character trait, not a behavioral trait, so whether it is the modern Yamata no Orochi or the Yamata no Orochi in front of us, they are the same. Without this spirit of not giving up, the Yamata no Orochi in modern time and space would not be doing so well in Japan.
"No, even if I know it's impossible, I still have to try hard. If I don't do it, it's really absolutely impossible, but as long as I do it, there's still some hope, right? "
Yamata no Orochi's words were so progressive that I was embarrassed to reject him, but I really didn't know what to do in this situation. But let’s be honest. Although the Yamata no Orochi in front of me and the modern Yamata no Orochi are obviously the same existence, the differences in their principles of doing things and other aspects are really huge. Although the modern Yamata no Orochi disgusts me very much, to be honest, I actually quite like the one in front of me. However, if I really want to find a way to save him... It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't. I don't have the ability.
"I'm really sorry, I'm really incapable!"
"But I..."
Jin Coin suddenly grabbed me at this time and said, "How about we ask Xin, maybe there is a chance?"
When I heard about gold coins, I could only give up. "Forget it, after the things here are over, I will take you to see the powerful person who brought us here. If there is anyone in this world who can save you, then she is the only one."
"Is there such a thing?" Yamata no Orochi screamed happily as soon as he heard that there was still hope. Then he urged: "Let's act quickly and go to see the great power immediately."
I nodded and started to pull the new clone room into the main battlefield according to the compass' instructions and merge it with us.
The subsequent merger and annihilation work went very smoothly. Matsumasa congratulated them and the clones they were assigned were not as awesome as the one on Yamata no Orochi's side. Under the siege of so many of us, they were killed almost as soon as they appeared. So we quickly gathered everyone together and successfully completed all the tasks and left the main control room here.
When we came out, what we saw was a huge corpse on the ground. The orangutan monster was already dead. Moreover, the way of death was very strange. No wounds could be seen on the body, but he was indeed dead. This starlight reflection compass can almost be said to kill without blood!
At the end of the battle here, each of us received a lot of experience points. Then I wanted to see what the heavenly materials and earthly treasures I had just stolen from the gorilla monster were. As a result, Yamata no Orochi rushed to ask about the situation. Gen couldn't wait for me to study the heavenly materials and earthly treasures, so he pulled us over. Just run.
"Hey, hey, the direction is wrong!"
"You didn't tell me earlier!" Yamata no Orochi turned around and rushed straight in the opposite direction, and soon we were back at the top of the mountain we came from before.
Of course Xin won't be surprised to see us come back, because our bodies and weapons are all condensed with her power, and every team member here is accompanied by a clone of Xin, so naturally she can know at any time of our location.
When we appeared on the top of the mountain, the Yamato-no-Orochi immediately transformed into a humanoid as soon as it saw Xin and swooped forward with a series of rattling heads. "Great God, please save me!"
"You're short of a head and you won't die. Why are you reacting like that?" I looked at the Yamata no Orochi on the ground and walked over. Then I stood next to my own body and asked Xin, "How do we change our bodies back?"
Xin glanced at the Yamato no Orochi in front of him, then raised his hand and waved. Then I found that my eyes suddenly changed, and then I sat up from the ground. It was obvious that I had changed my body. After looking around to confirm that everyone had changed back, I walked back to Xin and said: "Xin, this Yamata no Orochi helped us a lot in the battle here, although the one after him was a bit of a jerk. , but this Yamato no Orochi hasn’t done those things yet, so..."
"You don't need to explain anything to me. This is your business, not mine. I don't care what he has done or what he will do. What I care about is whether you can expand the territory of the Chinese Protoss. Since you want to help Him, then help him.”
"Thank you, ancestor."
"I said, call me Xin. Also, don't thank me, because I can't help him at all. You are the one who can help him, not me."
Xin's words made me stunned for a moment, and Yamata no Orochi next to me looked at Xin and I with a nervous expression, waiting for one of us to come forward and explain to him what was going on.
In fact, I am more confused than him right now, so I am also a little dizzy. "Then what...Xin, don't joke with me? How can I change my destiny against the will of heaven? Don't make us happy!"
"I'm not here to make you happy, what I said is true." Xin said very seriously: "You should know that you are adventurers, and in comparison, you are even more special than us gods. It can be said that you are It is not among the Three Realms and Five Elements. Otherwise, why do you think you will be resurrected in that resurrection temple after death instead of walking through the six paths of reincarnation through yin and yang?"
To be honest, I have never thought about this kind of thing before. But after suddenly hearing such words, I was stunned for a moment before I reacted. Although this is the first time I have heard of what Xin said, once I think about it, I know it does make sense. If the world in "Zero" is viewed as a real world, then we players will be like time travelers appearing out of thin air. We are foreign to this world and do not belong to this world, so many of the rules of this world are invalid for us.
Among them, the most obvious one is the issue of death mentioned by Xin.
According to the settings in the game, these NPCs need to take their own death routes after death. For example, gods and other things will not die as long as their souls are immortal, but if their souls are gone, they will die completely. After the death of ordinary creatures, their souls will enter the death institutions of their respective countries. In China, it is the underworld. After that is the process that everyone is familiar with. And in the end, whether you go to hell or go through six reincarnations and be reincarnated all have their own destiny arrangements. The situation abroad is similar, that is, the underworld has been replaced by various institutions in the underworld. Anyway, they are basically the same.
However, players never have these things. After we died, we went directly to the Resurrection Temple. This is completely different from NPC. So according to Xin’s words. We are beyond the rules. The so-called "jumping out of the Three Realms and not being in the Five Elements" is what we are like.
Because we are not bound by the rules of death, many things are meaningless to us. In this way, we might really be able to solve the problem of Yamata no Orochi. But the problem is that I don’t know the specific method!
"Xin, can you just tell me what I need to do? Although I think what you said makes sense, I don't know what to do!"
Xin didn't intend to hide it, so he said directly: "It's very simple. In this world, his fate is destined, so no matter how hard he works, he will eventually embark on the path he will inevitably take. In other words, he will It's useless to do anything. However, if he is not in this world, then all his predetermined destiny will be invalid, because no matter which world he goes to, he is not a native of that world, so he is there There is no destiny arrangement for Bian. In this case, his future development depends entirely on himself."
After hearing Xin's words, I became even more confused. "But how to go to the new world? I don't have the ability to send him to other time and space. Even if I want to take him to our time and space, I can only rely on your power? What do you mean you need to rely on me? "
"Because I don't have the extra power to bring him back to our era. He is different from you. His energy intensity is too high. I don't have that ability."
"But I don't have the ability to take him through time and space!"
"No, you do." After listening for a long time, Song Zheng congratulated them on finally understanding.
Suddenly hearing Song Zhenghe's words, I looked over in confusion, and Song Zhenghe pointed at Ye Ying, who I had not taken back, and said, "Isn't this your ability?"
"Ye Ying?" I turned to look at Ye Ying, and then immediately realized that they were not talking about Ye Ying, but the Demon Pet. "Yes! How could I forget this!"
In fact, what Xin and the others said was to let me turn Yamata no Orochi into my magic pet, and then when I go back, I can take Yamata no Orochi with me. When we arrived in our world, there was already a Yamata-no-Orochi there, so the fate of this Yamata-no-Orochi was completely new, because there was no destiny arranged for him there. Moreover, after becoming my magic pet, he is a subordinate to me as a player, and is no longer as simple as an aborigine. Therefore, no matter what happens, there will be absolutely no danger to Yamata no Orochi coming to the place. Yes, because the demon pet is immortal, even if it dies, it can be resurrected indefinitely, which is the same as the player. If all Yamata no Orochi want to save their heads, the best way is to become my demon pet and follow me, so that they can get my protection.
"What on earth are you talking about?" Yamata no Orochi obviously still didn't understand what we meant. He looked at us with some confusion and asked what was going on.
I looked at Yamata no Orochi and explained again: "That's it. You heard what Xin just said, we are adventurers, we are not limited by cause and effect, and you can become my magic pet, so you won't You are no longer an independent individual, but at the same time you will also have the same opportunities for unlimited rebirth as me. Moreover, once you become my demon pet, you can follow me back to my era, and you will be a brand new existence there. , there is no cause and effect for you in that world, so you can plan your future at will. Of course, because you have become a demon pet, you and I are tied together and can never be separated again."
"this……"
Of course Yamata no Orochi knows what a demon pet is. To put it bluntly, this demon pet is almost like a slave, so he hesitates. However, Yamata no Orochi is very worried that he will lose a head, so he is very conflicted now.
"Was there me in your time?" Yamata no Orochi suddenly asked.
I directly took out a piece of memory crystal, and then projected a picture. This is a picture I recorded when Yamata no Orochi and we were fighting, but I just freeze a picture for Yamata no Orochi to see.
Yamata no Orochi was stunned when he saw this picture, because he actually only had eight heads in the picture, and his whole body was covered with large and small blood scabs, which looked like snake skin. , in fact, they are all sores and burns. Compared with the current Yamato no Orochi in the shape of a nine-headed bird, the one in the picture is simply a completely disfigured Yamata no Orochi. Normal people will be very frightened when they see this huge gap.
"Why did I become like this?" Yamata no Orochi looked at himself in the screen in horror and asked. Although there is a big difference between Yamata no Orochi in this picture and his current appearance, it is him after all, so the general body shape and head can be seen very clearly. Therefore, Yamata no Orochi is very sure about the ugly figure in the picture. The monster is himself.
I didn’t want to lie to him, so I said directly: “You had a head cut off when you were fighting with people in China, and you offended the rising divine power in China, which is a powerful organization called Tianting. The one you see now is called Xin, and she also has a friend called Leader Hongjun. This leader Hongjun is at the same level as Xin, and the heaven was founded by this leader Hongjun. You are in the Huaxia region You lost a head and were expelled to an island in the sea. It is still an uninhabited land, but it will be inhabited in the future. You hide in the volcano there, relying on fire energy to repair your injuries. At the same time, you are too seriously injured. , your strength has dropped significantly, but because you stayed in the flames for too long, you were corroded by the heat and poison of the flames and the ground, causing all the feathers on your body to gradually fall off, and very ugly blood scabs and poisonous sores developed. So it became like this.”
"No, I don't want to be like this!" (To be continued...)
