Chapter 716: What to Do? Tough It Out!
Chapter 716: What to Do? Tough It Out!
Through the special intersection formed by the Ouroboros stone sculpture and the Great Qian Dynasty's national fortune, Qin Muye finally managed to catch a glimpse of the Three Officials Great Emperor.
"Another intangible, ethereal but genuinely existing special entity."
Qin Muye detested such enemies the most. In other worlds, he could have overturned the entire world and taken action directly, but in this world, he couldn't just upend everything.
"This thing is not easy to deal with, as it has no physical form."
The national fortune is Him, the personal fortune is Him, and to solve Him, he would need to dismantle the dynastic system first. However, handling the dynastic system would inevitably involve dealing with Him, creating a bizarre deadlock.
"To reach the next level in the dungeon, I need the corresponding equipment, and to get the corresponding equipment, I need to clear the dungeon first. Isn't this just a vicious cycle?"
Fortunately, although it's a deadlock, there is still a way to solve it. He could simply throw the entire deadlock into a safe, as both the dynastic system and the Three Officials Great Emperor are essentially one and the same.
"Back, did you find any clues?" Qin Muye sensed Ji Shan's presence.
"A bit, but not much." Ji Shan quickly shared the information he had gathered with Qin Muye.
Qin Muye's frown deepened as he listened.
"You mean the Three Officials Great Emperor didn't exist from ancient times but was born after the death of the Snake Father due to his spiritual essence?"
"In that case, it seems the sequence of events was reversed due to the Snake Father's memory?"
Before the Snake Father died, the Three Officials Great Emperor did not exist. Instead, the convergence of the national fortune and his spiritual essence during the suppression of the Snake Father led to the formation of this entity over a long period of time.
"If your evidence is genuine, then we do need to revise our plan."
Initially, his plan was to find and contain the Three Officials Great Emperor. Now, it has become much more complicated.
"It's not just that. According to what you said, the Three Officials Great Emperor may have reformed a new sequence through the Snake Father's supreme sequence. We won't be able to obtain it, but it absolutely cannot be allowed to spread. Otherwise, it will cause real problems," Ji Shan said solemnly.
The issue isn't just that someone might grow stronger using the sequence; the sequence itself might not be suitable for ordinary people. Using it would not lead to growth like the Snake Father but could result in terrifying mutations, posing a threat to the entire world.
"The threat and problems can be dealt with later. The current issue is how to capture the Three Officials Great Emperor. That's the key," Qin Muye sighed in frustration.
This is one of the most challenging enemies he has faced. He can't find Him, and He carries great secrets. He also can't use large-scale destructive methods to solve the problem.
"Why do we have to capture Him? Why not force Him out and let Him fall into our trap?"
"Directly create a device to seal the dynastic system, root out His foundation, and He won't be able to stay put."
"Even if He can stay put, without the dynastic system, He will be like a rootless cloud. Even if He hides, He will eventually be a rootless weed."
Ji Shan's idea seemed quite promising.
"The initial plan is good, but with the spiritual essence and the supreme sequence, the Three Officials Great Emperor won't be a rootless weed even without the dynastic system. That's why it's so difficult," Qin Muye explained. If the Three Officials Great Emperor had existed first and then absorbed the Snake Father's spiritual essence, the dynastic system would still be His weakness.
However, if the data Ji Shan presented is correct, the dynastic system is no longer the Three Officials Great Emperor's weakness. The Three Officials Great Emperor has transformed from a rule of the dynastic system into a special entity that combines the dynastic system and a supreme sequence.
Ji Shan's suggestion was based on incomplete information, as he was unaware of the spiritual essence and the supreme sequence.
This is why Qin Muye was so frustrated. Who would have thought that a 9th-rank entity would make such a mistake? But then again, it might be because some second-generation ancestor of Shu Mountain had stabbed Him in the brain with a sword, making everything normal again.
'So everything is the fault of that Shu Mountain ancestor. If he was going to kill, he should have done it cleanly or not at all. Now, the Snake Father's memory is in chaos because of the incomplete kill.'
Qin Muye silently cursed, and the reason he didn't dare to curse openly was simple: the other party could kill a 9th-rank entity as easily as slaughtering a chicken. He no longer had the backing of "The Lord's Era," so he had to be cautious in his words and actions.
It's fine to joke around with one's own people, but he also understood the saying "disaster comes from the mouth."
“What do we do then?” Ji Shan could only ask what to do, as there was no other option.
“What else can we do, we’ll just have to tough it out,” Qin Muye rolled his eyes and said. Running away wasn’t an option; they could only find a way to solve the problem.
“It’s not that it can’t be done, but the workload might be a bit heavy.”
Qin Muye’s idea was simple. It was just a matter of sealing, and he had the means. The four technologies he obtained from the Shining Universe—folded state, anti-origin, dynamic, and static—were specifically designed to imprison, restrict, and bind 9th-rank entities.
As long as the technology was used correctly, imprisoning the Three Officials Great Emperor shouldn’t be a problem. Qin Muye was even more ruthless than the GROX Empire; he not only planned to seal the Three Officials Great Emperor but also to extract his mind.
The reason the cosmic will managed to break out wasn’t because it was strong enough, but because it had a mind, understanding how to coordinate inside and out and how to turn the jailers.
So as long as the Three Officials Great Emperor had no mind, there wouldn’t be a problem.
The plan was the same as before, but the cost was no longer the same. Originally, Qin Muye planned to find a desolate, uninhabited place to seal the Three Officials Great Emperor, but now that wouldn’t work. He needed to use the entire world to imprison and restrict him.
Otherwise, there was a risk that he might escape.
Besides, Qin Muye had his own selfish motives and wasn’t entirely altruistic.
When a piece of pork is taken out of the fridge and put back, one’s hands can’t help but get a little greasy. Qin Muye didn’t want much, just a little bit of grease.
For example, the Three Officials Great Emperor’s mind. If he extracted it, he certainly wouldn’t return it to the heavens and earth; he would keep it as a reward for himself.
“You’re worried about the workload? That’s really surprising.” Ji Shan was very surprised when Qin Muye mentioned the workload, after all, in his eyes, what could be difficult for the goblins?
“There is a bit of concern, how’s your subspace excavation going?” Qin Muye suddenly changed the topic.
This gave Ji Shan a bad feeling, and he cautiously replied, “It’s going well, just a little short.”
“Quantity?” Qin Muye asked again.
“What are you planning? You want to play and dig yourself?” Alarm bells rang in Ji Shan’s mind; this was definitely a trap.
“I’m not playing, just asking,” Qin Muye said with a smile.
“I’ve dug a total of 121 subspaces.” Although he felt it was not quite right, Ji Shan still answered.
“Thirteen more than needed, I thought you could have made 36 Cavern-Heavens and 72 Blessed Lands, but with 13 more, it’s just right to make the Three Mountains and Ten Continents.” Qin Muye stroked his chin and made the decision.
“I’ll give you a design, start digging according to the design. I plan to turn them into secret realms, ruins, and tomb mounds, to serve as small nodes.”
Qin Muye quickly transmitted a design to Ji Shan.
After reading it, Ji Shan confirmed that he had indeed been tricked.
“I don’t oppose you creating Cavern-Heavens, Blessed Lands, and the Three Mountains and Ten Continents, but you can’t make me do all the digging. How long will it take me to dig so many?” Ji Shan was certain that the 121 subspaces he had dug would serve as nodes to suppress the Three Officials Great Emperor, but the issue was that he needed to expand them. The size he had dug initially was not enough.
This was the biggest challenge. At his current efficiency, with Qin Muye’s support, it would take at least eight to ten years. Otherwise, if he did it alone, it would take much longer, and he would need to work day and night.
“Three years at most, it’s not long, I’ll help you,” Qin Muye said without hesitation.
“Don’t lie to me, three years? It would be a miracle if it could be done in ten years, unless you do the digging yourself,” Ji Shan was skeptical.
“I don’t have the time to dig. The subspace work is up to you. I still need to do the subsequent software editing, which is much more difficult than digging subspaces,” Qin Muye sighed. He would have liked to help, but he couldn’t.
In addition to the 36 Cavern-Heavens, 72 Blessed Lands, and the Three Mountains and Ten Continents, he needed to create corresponding stabilizers, specifically the anti-origin force field. These subspaces were actually dynamic and static force fields under the folded state, and the critical anti-origin force field couldn’t be placed together.
