Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2608

Negotiation

“You sound like you’re asking for accusations.” The female voice was still very calm, as if she had no human emotions.

“Shouldn’t I be angry? If you hadn’t sent her to that heavenly world, she wouldn’t have been unable to come back.” Zuan said in a deep voice. The mermaid queen was originally fine here, but she became Chang’e in the heavenly world after she manipulated her like this.

“I did send her back, and I didn’t just send her back. I also sent your other confidantes back.” Hou Tu’s phantom answered slowly.

“Why did you do this?” Zuan was puzzled and angry.

“You can understand this as their fate.” Hou Tu’s phantom voice had an epic feeling, “They were destined to have these things happen.”

“But if you hadn’t intervened, they wouldn’t have such a fate!” Not to mention the mermaid queen, Jiang Luofu also disappeared in the heavenly world.

“Then how do you know that everything I do is not arranged by fate?” Hou Tu asked back.

Zuan was stunned for a moment, and countless thoughts popped up in his mind at this moment.

After a long time, he spoke: “Can you see fate?” Hou Tu

answered generously: “I am in charge of reincarnation, and I can indeed vaguely see the direction of some fate, but I am not omniscient and omnipotent. Many times I can only realize on a whim how some things need to be done.”

“I remember hearing Zhuanxu of Heaven and Earth mention in the Heavenly World that time does not have much meaning for beings like them, so he gave me the Sun-Shooting Bow in the ‘future’, and I also had the Sun-Shooting Bow in the ‘past’, which can also be used to shoot down ten suns from the sky,” Zuan said with a distant look in his eyes. “In the Heavenly World, there is also a Queen Hou Tu. At that time, she also gave me a drop of the witch clan’s blood. Can I understand that you are actually one?”

“At that time, you actually had all the memories of the present, and you knew me, my past missions, and so on.”

“Although your understanding is a bit too simple and straightforward, and contains some errors, but with your current way of thinking, it can be understood this way.” The phantom of Hou Tu seemed a little surprised that he could think of this.

“Emperor Jun wanted to destroy the Wu clan and dominate the world to become a saint, Emperor Yao wanted to make the human race flourish to become a saint, all the powerful beings in that world tried to become saints in their own ways. Now that I think about it, I’m afraid that all you did was also for the sake of becoming a saint.” Zuan looked at the powerful phantom in front of him, “The difference is that they all failed, but you obviously succeeded.”

Pei Mianman on the side blinked her eyes. She had been praised for her intelligence since she was a child, but why did she know every word they said, but couldn’t understand them at all when they were put together.

This makes me look stupid.

“You are half right. I did all this to become a saint, but I haven’t become a saint yet.” Hou Tu’s phantom was frank.

Zuan looked wooden: “I’m afraid I still need a few things in my hands to refine the six reincarnations to truly become a saint.” Hou

Tu’s method of becoming a saint is obviously to establish the six reincarnations, so that the lonely ghosts in the six worlds can reincarnate. At the same time, in order to have a good birth in the upper three paths in the future, everyone will consciously accumulate virtues and do good deeds and reduce evil deeds. This system will bring great merits when it is running.

“Yes, I can only become a saint after the six reincarnations are established.” Hou Tu’s phantom looked at Zu An, “Are you trying to use this to threaten me?”

Zu An smiled and said, “I do have this idea. After all, you need this to become a saint, and you are not a saint now. Even if you want to use force, I am not powerless to fight.”

Pei Mianman became nervous when she heard this. They were like friends when they just met, so how could they fight in the middle of a conversation?

Of course, she must have advanced and retreated with Zu An, secretly practicing her skills and ready to take action at any time, but this time the enemy is a mysterious phantom, and I don’t know how to hurt her?

“Did you forget one thing? You just said it yourself. For beings like us, time has no meaning. The me in the past, the me in the present, and the me in the future are all one. The me in the future has become a saint. How can you deal with the me now?” Hou Tu’s phantom seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with herself.

Zuan’s heart sank. He knew that the other party was not lying, but he still tried to gain more bargaining chips for himself: “But without the six powers I provided, you would not be able to refine the six reincarnations, and it would still have a great impact on your sainthood.”

“It seems that you still don’t really understand time and history. Since I have become a saint in the future, it is an established fact that I have become a saint. Even without your help, there will be other people to help complete this. The direction of fate cannot be changed by personal power.” Hou Tu’s shadow voice was ethereal.

Zuan thought of Xihe’s efforts to change the ending of the Ten Suns in the Sky, and tried to change history, but all failed without exception.

Mi Li also said that some important historical nodes will be fixed and cannot be changed at all.

Hou Tu’s refining the six reincarnations to become a saint is obviously an important node that cannot be changed.

But he was not scared by this: “Yes, you can become a saint, but you are not a saint yet after all. If I don’t cooperate, although there may be other people who can help you to gather the materials for refining the Six Paths of Reincarnation later, this back and forth will delay time, and you may have to wait for many more years.”

The shadow of Hou Tu shook his head: “Maybe you can’t understand our existence. Maybe a long time that seems very long to you humans is just a nap for us.”

“Yes, what I said just now is indeed inappropriate. Let me put it another way. If I don’t help this time, there will be more variables in your becoming a saint, and beings like you should be most afraid of variables,” Zuan said calmly, “Hou Tu will indeed become a saint because of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the future, but can you be sure that that Hou Tu is you?”

He also got inspiration from the Ten Days in the Sky incident that he had just experienced. The historical node is indeed not to be changed, but the process has changed. Even if the result is the same, many things have actually changed beyond recognition.

As expected, the shadow of Hou Tu showed emotion for the first time: “I have to admit that you are indeed a very smart human. You have successfully convinced me. Tell me, what do you want?”

These human strategies and tactics did not mean much to her. She was of course clear about Zuan’s purpose.

“Help me rescue the mermaid queen and my other companion Jiang Luofu.” Zuan said. Although he could ask for help before, it was not his business, and Hou Tu might not help with all her strength. Now it is different.

The shadow of Hou Tu frowned slightly: “Change the conditions. This is really impossible.”

Zuan took Pei Mianman and turned to leave: “Then find someone else to help you collect the authority of the Six Paths again.”
