Chapter 266: Confusing the Cause with the Effect

"Thank you for telling me."

Tian Ming heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the voice in his mind.

For some reason, he didn't turn on the light when he came in. In addition, the sun had already set. Feeling the softness under him, the burden on his shoulders was finally relieved.

He lay on the sofa, rubbing his temples with both hands, trying to relieve his fatigue, and turned his head to look at the bright moon outside the window.

However, it was only a moment.

"Hypocrisy!"

"Fuck hypocrisy! They are all a bunch of hypocritical guys! Disgusting, really disgusting, communicating with such a group of hypocritical guys is fucking disgusting!"

"Ah-!!!"

Tian Ming sat up suddenly like a schizophrenic, his eyes became extremely gloomy, and he roared hysterically.

It looked like he wanted to vent all the resentment in his heart.

"Pah! Pah!"

After Tian Ming raised his head and roared, he still felt unsatisfied. He glanced at the messy table, and then he waved his hand violently, and the teacups and teapots on the table, as well as other utensils, fell to the ground like raindrops.

The crystals collided violently with the ground, and the water droplets suddenly scattered, soaking the ground, and the broken cups were scattered all over the ground like petals.

Tian Ming hated that he had to show a flattering smile in front of Shen Bailian, and he also hated himself. Even if he wanted to tear those passers-by apart, he had to show a kind smile to those who talked about him behind his back in order to take care of others...

His current posture made him feel deeply disgusted with himself, but he could do nothing about it.

The reason was also very simple.

Because Tian Ming's strength was weak and his martial arts realm was low, even if he didn't care about his strength, if he was a martial arts genius now, he would be ranked among the top in the class like in high school.

He would never look like this now.

As for what he said before, it would never be mistaken for a rumor. There would definitely be some martial arts students who would think it was true.

Unfortunately, Tian Ming was just a martial artist in the Liming Realm. Even if he was talented, he could only rank in the middle of the Tiangang Academy where everyone was like a dragon.

Neither good nor bad.

He was the kind of martial arts student who would never leave a deep impression on the martial arts teacher.

I don't know how long it had been.

The crackling sound of breaking in the dormitory, the hysterical roar... and the roar, gradually became weaker as time passed, and finally disappeared completely.

A ray of bright moonlight gradually climbed up the window sill, and then followed the bright window into the dark dormitory, and climbed onto Tian Ming's gloomy face.

"Is it so late?" Tian Ming slowly opened his painful eyes. He glanced at the smart bracelet on his wrist, and then realized that more than an hour had passed without him realizing it.

However, it was indeed worth it.

Because the negative emotions in his heart, such as boredom, irritability, helplessness, impatience, etc., had dissipated more than half with the venting of this smashing and smashing.

"I'm sorry to embarrass you."

"That's not the case. Appropriate venting of emotions is one of the things that humans should do. If you want, I can let Feng Yanqiu, the martial arts genius, voluntarily walk to your bed." The cold and ruthless voice continued to sound in Tian Ming's mind.

"Hey, when did you become so generous?"

"We have always been generous, haven't we? If you are willing to cooperate, this can be regarded as a deposit for you. After the matter is done, we can give you everything you want."

"Hehe." Tian Ming raised the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but sneered twice.

Then he stood up and began to pick up the messy items on the ground, and then put them into the storage ring. In just one minute, the room that was originally like a garbage dump became brand new.

Even the tea set on the table was replaced.

Tian Ming tidied up his messy hair, took a cold shower, and changed his clothes after his thoughts were completely calm.

He sat back on the sofa and slowly boiled a pot of tea.

White mist slowly floated up from the mouth of the pot, like a white ribbon, rising higher and higher, and time seemed to slow down.

The dark dormitory was once again in a dead silence.

"You just said that you can give me everything I want?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, if you say so." In the sound of the water, Tian Ming squinted his eyes, picked up a cup of hot tea, blew it to his mouth, and said slowly:

"Then I want to become a god."

"Okay!"

Tian Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard the clean and neat answer in his mind, and then drank a sip of tea, and immediately felt refreshed.

"Then come on, I'm ready."

"I've already told you just now that the premise is that you are willing to cooperate, and only after the matter is completed, can I agree to your request." There was already a hint of impatience in his voice.

"Oh." Tian Ming was naturally fearless about this. He shrugged and said sarcastically: "It sounds better than singing. Aren't you just making money out of nothing?"

"After the matter is completed, who knows what your definition of "success" is?"

"What's more, your deposit is too much, isn't it?"

"Don't you see what era it is now? Does the beauty trap still work? If I really want that beauty, I might as well customize a few short-term biochemicals to satisfy myself."

"If you don't show me something sincere, then let's not talk about our cooperation. I'm afraid Kronos will misunderstand."

The voice disappeared suddenly.

Tian Ming pretended to be indifferent to this, crossed his legs, hummed a little song, and tapped his thigh with his right hand rhythmically, quietly waiting for the other party's answer.

He didn't know whether the other party would give up, but it didn't matter.

Because the appearance of this voice was not planned. It suddenly appeared after he came to Hulao City and reached an agreement with Kronos.

Tian Ming guessed that this should be another god. Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning behind his words was that he wanted to intercept halfway.

If it was at the beginning, he might still be terrified.

But now?

Tian Ming was already familiar with this feeling, and he was not worried that the other party would attack and kill him, because he still had value to the owner of the voice in his mind.

And there was the Zhoutian Xingdou formation in Daxia, so even if those gods wanted to mess around, they had to be prepared to spend a lot of divine power.

Spending a huge amount of divine power to kill a warrior in the Liming realm?

Unless someone's brain was kicked by a donkey, they would not do such a stupid thing.

Of course, the most important thing was that Chronos left Tian Ming with a way to save his life, which was one of the reasons why he was fearless in the face of unknown gods.

A moment later~

Just when Tian Ming sighed, a look of disappointment appeared on his face, and he was about to go back to rest, the familiar voice sounded in his mind again.

"What do you want? It's better to be reliable, otherwise there is no need for us to continue to cooperate."

"Strong strength, now."

"Okay, according to the current situation, I can raise your strength to the Transcendent Realm within seven days, and become a Sea-breaking Realm warrior in a month."

"Since you have reached the Sea-breaking Realm, can't it be higher?"

"No, unless the established plan is completed."

After hearing this unhesitating answer, Tian Ming pondered for a moment and continued to add: "But it must be reasonable."

The voice paused for a moment before continuing: "It's a bit difficult. You should know that in order to make this matter reasonable, how many people's memories must be changed, and it must consume..."

"I don't want to hear these explanations. If you don't want to, then forget it. Anyway, I am afraid that Lord Chronos will have unnecessary misunderstandings about me." Tian Ming still looked indifferent.

"You..."

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell Kronos about this?"

"Afraid?" Tian Ming heard this, a sneer flashed across his face, and he said indifferently: "Of course I am afraid, but so what, I am just a dead man."

"Besides, Shen Bailian is very important to you, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to the door immediately after Kronos left. Now you are in the light and he is in the dark. You only need to pay a little insignificant price to grab Shen Bailian before Kronos."

"This deal should be worth it to you, right?"

"But you know too much." The voice continued to sound in Tian Ming's mind, but compared with before, there was already a hint of death threat in it.

"So what?" Tian Ming sneered: "I know you want to kill me and you have the ability to kill me, but so what? Do you dare? Or do you have the courage?"

The voice fell silent again, because she really didn't dare, otherwise she wouldn't have come to seduce Tian Ming secretly.

However, what she didn't expect was that Tian Ming was not only greedy, but also not tempted by the blueprint she drew.

Or, Tian Ming had greater ambitions.

To some extent, he was determined.

"God? Hehe..."

"I have understood one thing since I was in school. Injustice is the norm in this world. Excellent students always get the favor of teachers. Even if they make mistakes, it is just a small matter."

"Fortunately, I was born in this era where fists are power; unfortunately, my martial arts talent is extremely mediocre compared to the pride of the Tiangang Academy."

"So?"

"So, I want to become stronger!"

"Even an ugly duckling will always dream of becoming a white swan, so I still want to go to that world, the world of the top martial arts geniuses, to expose that person's hypocritical face, even if I die without regrets!"

Tian Ming murmured in a low voice, and his voice became more and more firm.

He half-lying on the sofa, looking up at the dark ceiling, his black eyes flickering with dim light, no one knows what he is thinking

Of course, including himself, because his thoughts at the moment are too chaotic, and he doesn't know whether this is right or wrong.

"Okay, after seven days, you will get what you want, but I hope you also control your mouth, otherwise, what I can give you, I will definitely take back a hundred times!"

"I have a few more questions." Even though he has got what he wants, Tian Ming's heart is not very happy at the moment, but there is a strong doubt in his heart.

"Ask, but I will only answer three questions for you."

When Tian Ming heard the answer without any pause in his mind, he immediately became interested and asked curiously:

"What is your purpose? Why do you and the gods such as Chronos attach so much importance to Shen Bailian and want to get Shen Bailian at all costs?

"I refuse to answer." The voice resounded in Tian Ming's mind coldly: "It's a question."

"Okay then." Tian Ming was stunned for a moment, then his lips moved for a moment, and finally gave up. After all, he didn't want to offend the other party too much now, so he asked instead:

"Then how do you want to improve my martial arts realm? Let me make it clear in advance, I don't want to have premature gray hair."

"It's very simple, put the result before the cause."

"What is hidden on the jade box that was just given to Shen Bailian? "When asking this question, Tian Ming couldn't help but flash a trace of disdain in his heart.

Even the number one martial arts genius of Tiangang Academy could not escape the temptation of natural treasures.

However, the real mystery lies not in the ginseng, but in the jade box that carries the ginseng.

In short, when Shen Bailian's hand first touched the jade box, he was already hit, which was something Shen Bailian could never have thought of.

"Memetic curse, you still have one question left."

"Okay." Tian Ming nodded. Although the other party did not say it clearly, he had vaguely guessed the meaning of "memetic curse" from the literal meaning and asked:

"Which side are you on? The gods I have come into contact with are not as easy to talk to as you. "

The voice in Tian Ming's mind suddenly fell silent. Just when Tian Ming thought it was another thank you for patronage, he suddenly heard a low voice:

"I am... a remnant of the old era. "

"The remnants of the old times, the old times..." Tian Ming frowned and repeated softly, unable to understand the meaning.

...

[Congratulations, your divine substance has been improved, divine substance +10]

[...]

Shen Bailian lay leisurely on the massage chair, with the jade box that had previously carried ginseng in his arms.

At the same time, on his panel, one prompt tone after another flashed, and the divine substance on the panel was improving at a faster speed.

"Good guy, the old saying is really right, you can't just accept things given by outsiders. "Shen Bailian's divine eye was fully opened, and his consciousness sank into the cells of his limbs and bones.

After he touched the jade box, the cell membranes of his originally vigorous and plump cells suddenly appeared with ghostly lines, flashing with blood.

It was extremely weird.

In Shen Bailian's view, although there has been no negative impact so far, it is undoubtedly an ominous sign. His first reaction was that he was bewitched.

But it doesn't matter.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon it came to the early hours of the morning.

The prompt messages on the panel gradually slowed down, and the divine substances obtained at one time were also decreasing, and finally stopped at a certain moment.

"Is it over? "Shen Bailian looked at the panel that no longer had any message notification sounds, and continued to wait for a while, until there was no movement at all.

He knew that the divine substance in the jade box had been absorbed by him.

And in his body, those strange blood-colored lines were no longer limited to the surface of the cells, but had penetrated deep into the inside, and even in the sea of ​​​​spirituality, a faint blood color appeared.

The poisoning was quite serious.

"Hey, playing these dirty tricks every day, if it was put on an ordinary person, it would definitely be a failure, but for me?"

"No pressure at all." Shen Bailian took out a silver pill from the ring and swallowed it. As his mind moved slightly, his heartbeat suddenly stopped.

Death!

But the next moment.

"Bang! Bang Bang Bang!!! "

Shen Bailian's vigorous and powerful heartbeat, like a drum, sounded again, and the blood-colored lines in his body completely disappeared.

This is the secondary effect of the passive resurrection of [Shadow-like], which removes all negative states after resurrection.

It is equivalent to purification. (End of this chapter)
