Chapter 608 Negotiations with God

Because it was related to the return of one's own god, the masquerade party was full of pomp and circumstance. Under the sea blue barrier, all the three pillars of the masquerade party were present.

They adhered to the will of their gods very well and stood far away and did not listen to the conversation. Behind Mu Qingzhi, Shana and the others also stood far away, leaving space for them to communicate.

"Purpose? Our purpose is..."

[Let me tell you. 〗

Before Mu Qingzhi could finish her sentence, a slightly cold voice sounded in her heart.

[Don’t treat the other party as an idiot. The other party is a supernormal existence that embodies the laws of the red world, a pillar called "god". When talking to this kind of existence, no matter how much you talk, it is useless. 〗

"Uh... ok, come on then."

After being stunned for a moment, Mu Qingzhi nodded.

Then, with the slightly solemn expression of the ritual snake in front of her, she closed her eyes.

(Isn’t it a substitute body with the same form as mine...)

Seeing the movements of the girl in front of him, the ritual snake couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

The essence of Sakai Yuji as his agent is actually the result of the fusion of the two consciousnesses. At this time, he is both Sakai Yuji and the ritual snake, and the two are indistinguishable from each other.

His body is still trapped in the eternal trap between the two worlds. The will of the self-proclaimed ritual snake is actually made up of personality and emotional models collected by the masquerade for thousands of years.

...After all, if his consciousness really comes fully, how many existences in the world can fully accommodate the will of a god?

He originally thought that the other party's situation should be similar to his, but now it seems that the situation seems to be very different.

While the ritual snake was meditating, the girl in front of him suddenly opened her eyes. Although she was still the same person as before, her entire demeanor and temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before.

"Sit down, let's take this opportunity to have a good talk."

Looking up at him, the girl spoke calmly.

"None of them are up to the occasion, so I'll do it."

"……sit?"

While the snake was stunned at the ceremony, the surrounding space changed in an instant. Before, they were under the iron tower in the center of Misaki City, but now, they are thousands of miles high in the sky.

The bright moon hung high above the head, and under the water-like moonlight, a pavilion stood quietly in the void, and they had appeared in the pavilion before they knew it.

Not only that, the Ritual Snake also found that the consciousness in his body belonging to Sakai Yuji fell into an inexplicable sleep at this moment.

"...Illusion?"

Looking away from his surroundings thoughtfully, Sakai Yuji looked at the girl in front of him who had already sat down in the pavilion.

"If you think this is more in line with your understanding, then just understand it like this."

Shaking her head slightly, the girl looked up at him.

"What do you want to drink, Coke or orange juice?"

"A cup of tea is enough."

With a slight smile in his mouth, the Sacrificial Snake sat down at the table.

"Your name is taboo, I don't know what to call you?"

"It's just a false name, don't worry too much."

After pouring the other party a cup of tea, the girl spoke calmly.

"There are too many unnecessary temptations, so I will tell you directly, didn't you ask about our purpose earlier? The wish of all living beings, this is our purpose."

"The wish of all living beings... I would like to hear the details."

After some pondering, the ritual snake raised its head and looked at the other party.

...The god in front of him seems to be a little different from what he imagined.

"Literally, the wishes of all sentient beings. We are here to satisfy and realize the wishes of all sentient beings."

Lowering her eyes, the girl took a sip of the orange juice in the glass.

"The living beings here represent all intellectual life. Human beings, apostles, fire mist, and even Rinzi with self-feelings can be included among them."

"All living beings...are you a god born from the wishes of all living beings?"

Unconsciously, the ritual snake was slightly stunned.

"Almost, you are a god born because of the wishes of the apostles, so you only care about the apostles and not others, but I care about everything."

Raising her head, the girl looked at him expressionlessly.

"Because of this stupid differential treatment, not only the red world, but also the current world is already crumbling. So, are you gods actually idiots?"

Ritual Snake: "..."

"Where did the distortion come from? It originated from the humans who were eaten as food by the apostles. For thousands of years, since the first people of the Red World crossed the long distance between the two worlds and came to the present world, they were swallowed up by the apostles. There are more than a few human beings, but you don’t care at all.”

There was no emotion on her face, and the girl spoke calmly.

"There is no realm? In your imagination, it is indeed a perfect world, a paradise that only belongs to the apostles. In that world, there is endless power of existence. But in the end, that world is also It is just a replica of the present world. The status of human beings has not changed at all. Without the existence of Fire Mist, those apostles will only act more and more unscrupulously. As long as the source of the distortion is not solved in a real sense, the distortion will never exist. will end."

"...Are you a god who is on the side of humans?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, the ritual snake didn't mean to be angry. Instead, he asked thoughtfully.

"Or are you, like Alastair, a catastrophe of heaven and earth, aiming to maintain the balance of the world as your mission?"

"The human side? You can understand it that way."

After picking up the cup and taking a sip of the orange juice, the girl looked calm.

"Your purpose is very simple. You just want to respond to the apostles' wishes and build a paradise for them. On the main premise, we have the same goal, but in the details and certain things in the middle, we will make decisions. We must fine-tune them to develop in a more suitable direction. If you agree, that's easy to say, but if you don't agree, I don't want a conflict between us."

——From beginning to end, her tone was like this, without the slightest emotional ups and downs.

"...Can this be considered some kind of threat?"

After pondering for a while, the ritual snake looked at the girl in front of him.

"No, it's just a way to show your strength. My attitude depends entirely on yours."

Putting down the cup in her hand, the girl looked up at him.

"I have a bad temper, and I'm still in a bad state right now. If you're not willing to cooperate, I don't guarantee that I will do something drastic. The worst possible outcome is to destroy the world."

Inexplicably, the girl's eyes were stained with a bit of violence and blood.

"Or do you want to give it a try now?"

……………………………………………

At the same time, between systems.

"System, you think she should be fine on God's side, right?"

While sitting on the grass and eating watermelon, Mu Qingzhi asked the system next to her.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem. She has always been steady."

Holding half a watermelon in her hand, the blue-haired girl looked calm.

"As long as she takes action, nothing can't be done. Just be reassured."

"Really? Actually, I think it's fine for me to do this. There's no need for her to take action."

After stuffing a spoonful of watermelon into her mouth, Mu Qingzhi shrugged slightly.

"I was actually quite happy chatting with Lao She at the [Eternal Trap]."

"I have been locked up in that kind of ghost place for thousands of years, and there is no one to talk to on weekdays. Suddenly a villain comes out and talks to me. Anyone else would be happy to talk to him."

Turning to look at her, the system curled his lips.

"Don't forget, he is a god, the god of the apostles in the Red World. Born from the apostles' wishes, he doesn't care about anything except the apostles. How many other people die has nothing to do with him. If this wasn't If you clarify these things in advance, maybe the masquerade will break up before you can implement your plan."

"Then according to what you said, Huo Wu is also an apostle. Every Fire Mist warrior represents a Red World Demon King. Since Lao She cares so much about the apostles, then what I proposed about Huo Wu..."

"I think you may have some misunderstandings about certain things."

After interrupting her words, the system seemed a little speechless.

"Huo Wu is Huo Wu, and the Red World Demon King is Red World Demon King. Although the two are one individual, they are actually not the same. Don't you think that when one Huo Wu dies, he will be the same as that Huo Wu The red demon king who made the contract also died, right?"

"Uh...isn't it?"

"Nonsense, it's definitely not the case."

Holding the watermelon, the system rolled its eyes.

"Huo Wu and the Red World Demon King they contracted did not sign a life-and-death contract. When Huo Wu dies, contracting with the Red World Demon King of Huo Wu is equivalent to returning to the Red World. Huo Wu dies. It’s Huo Wu’s business, what’s the matter with the Red World Demon King who made the contract with Huo Wu?”

"Wait, if you say so..."

"That's right, it doesn't matter how many Huo Wu dies. In the eyes of the ritual snake, it doesn't matter even if all the Huo Wu is killed. Anyway, the Red Demon King who contracted with Huo Wu is not bound to the life and death of Huo Wu. ”

He took a spoonful of watermelon and put it into his mouth.

"So do you understand? The plans you originally conceived are unnecessary in the eyes of the ritual snake. With the other party's temperament, how could he let you judge those apostles?"

Turning his head, the system looked at her.

"If this problem is not solved, then everything will be meaningless, and it may even be self-defeating and lead to a worse situation. And she is the best person to solve this kind of thing."

"Hmm...I understand."

After thinking for a moment, Mu Qingzhi nodded while sipping the spoon.

"Then according to your statement, Shen Fang's verbal skills have reached the full level?"

"...Probably."

After a moment of pondering, he waved his hand and continued eating the watermelon.

"Anyway, when we encountered this kind of thing before, she was the one who took the initiative, and every time it was solved smoothly. Maybe she really used this skill to the full level... Well, she's back."

As if sensing something, he turned his head and looked towards the villa. At the same time, he reached out and waved over there.

In the past, the system was on the verge of collapse, and the entire system became a big blur of graffiti. Although it has been rebuilt, many details cannot be detailed.

...For example, that villa over there is upside down.

"It's settled. As long as you don't do anything too extreme next time, such as wanting to kill all the apostles in the masquerade, everything else is up to you."

Pull out a chair on the lawn and sit down, Shen Cifang spoke calmly.

In terms of appearance, she and the system look almost exactly the same. The only difference is the difference in temperament and demeanor between the two. If Mu Qingzhi has to evaluate... then the system and Shen Cifang are probably similar to her and Shana.

"Eh? It's settled, so fast?"

Looking at Shen Cifang in front of her, Mu Qingzhi couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

-All in all, this negotiation didn't even take 30 minutes.

"Fast? Then I'll extend the time next time."

Glancing at her, Shen Cifang folded his hands and looked thoughtful.

"But in this case, I may have to control the strength a little..."

"???"

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Noticing the change in her expression, Shen Cifang shook his head slightly.

"If you want, the ritual snake can now give orders to the throne, asking him to wait for you in bed."

Mu Qingzhi: "..."

...She was getting more and more curious about the content of their negotiation.

"Equal strength is the premise of peaceful talks, just like humans will not discuss anything with ants, and the other party is the same. As a god of the Red World, in his eyes, humans are actually the same as ants. There are very few humans like Sakai Yuuji who can catch his eye, not to mention that Sakai Yuuji is not actually a human."

Seemingly seeing what she was thinking, Shen Cifang patiently explained.

"When you go back later, just say you don't know anything. The other party won't take the initiative to bring up those things. You don't need to feel too much pressure."

"... Is it possible that I really don't know anything?"

"That would be the best. You are actually qualified to go to that place... By the way, after this time, I can't go out again for at least a long time in the future."

Pressing his forehead with his hand, Shen Cifang turned his head and looked at the system.

"I almost lost control after going out for such a short time. If it was longer, some unpredictable consequences might happen."

"It's okay. I just need a coolie here. You came at the right time."

Holding half a watermelon in his hand, the system smiled brightly.

Shen Cifang: "..."
