Thinking of this, Kikyo sighed softly and said, "There is no choice anymore, right?"
"No choice..."
Luo Shu muttered to himself, then turned his head and looked at the Tree of Ages not far away, and the silver-haired witch under the Tree of Ages, and then laughed:
"Maybe there will be another option after a while."
What Luo Shu is alluding to here is the cultivation of the World Tree. If Jinguji Kyuusumi's method is truly effective, and the Tree of Ages can really be cultivated into a World Tree, then this Abyss Warring States may still have a glimmer of hope.
"In short, although it is hard to leave your hometown, let the villagers prepare themselves, Kikyo."
Kikyo nodded when she heard that, and then watched Luo Shu walk towards the Tree of Time. Finally, she sighed and walked towards the village.
Seeing this, Chun, who was tied to the ground with tortoise shell ties, was dumbfounded.
You guys can go away, but please untie me! !
Come back to me!!!
Just when Chun was going crazy, Luo Shu had already arrived under the Tree of Ages. He looked up at the crown of the towering tree and said:
"How's the situation?"
"I can only say it's OK."
Jinguji Kuesumi pulled back his hand from the Tree of Ages, frowned and said:
"The self-awareness of the Tree of Time was shattered by your previous blow. Now it only has blank instincts. Such a tree is most suitable for branding, controlling it, and then cultivating it into a World Tree."
"This is similar to what you and I estimated."
Before executing the plan to attack the Tree of Ages, Luo Shu discussed with Jinguji Jiucheng for a long time and devised a strict plan to "severely damage the Tree of Ages".
To this end, Luo Shu even served as a target himself, and endured many of Jinguji Jiucheng's spells targeting the soul and spirituality, just to "accurately" injure the Tree of Time to its current state.
As for the current situation, it is not out of the control of the two.
"How long will it take to cultivate the World Tree?"
"It will take at least half a month, of course, that's the time here."
As Jinguji Kueisumi spoke, he turned around and said to Luo Shu:
"But as for you personally, you need to return to the real world. After all, you have to mobilize the resources of SDS."
Hearing this, Luo Shu remained silent.
If we leave Jinguji Kuesumi alone with the Tree of Time, any risk may arise.
To put it in a broader sense, it is possible that Jinguji Kyushu escaped with the tree.
However, Luo Shu still agreed at this time.
"Then the rest is up to you."
Luo Shu nodded slightly to Jinguji Kyushu as if he didn't think much about it, then turned and walked towards the stairs, ready to meet up with Nishiki Chitsugu and others below.
Seeing this, Jinguji Kyushu looked at him in surprise but said nothing more.
At that time, Luo Shu, who was walking on the broken stairs, used his mind to bring up a panel with a flickering look in his eyes.
That's the panel that belongs to the 'Encyclopedia of Occultism'.
[Based on 'Substances 001 to 008', the detailed divination for 'Jinguji Kuesumi' has yielded the results. ]
On the panel, a prompt is flashing slowly.
That was the divination that Luo Shu secretly asked Baike to perform after he met Jinguji Kuesumi in the tomb of Toga King in the underworld.
The raw materials come from 8 "related things" such as the tiny strands of Jinguji Kuesumi's hair, traces of magic, and the air she breathes.
To this end, Luo Shu even occupied a large amount of the encyclopedia's functions. It can even be said that the consumption of fortune-telling the traces of Mu Yunya and Naraku is not even one percent of that of fortune-telling Jinguji Kueisumi.
The reason for doing this is that among all the people in the world who entered the abyss, the one that Luo Shu could not understand the most was Jinguji Kuesumi.
Out of caution, Luo Shu naturally wanted to find out the situation of this unknown existence.
To this end, he pretended to be not good at divination, and even hinted at and threatened the insider Jianshan Huangquan not to leak the information. He concealed the situation from his colleagues and deliberately showed his impatience with the divination errors.
All of this was done to make Jinguji Kuesumi believe that 'Luo Shu does not have the ability to divine', so as to find an opportunity to obtain the necessary 'related objects' that can divine a large amount of information.
'And now is the time to harvest.'
"Then let me see what your situation is."
When Luo Shu saw this scene, he looked deep in his eyes and clicked on the divination result with his mind.
0...
[Jinguji Jiuhuicheng (Spirit state, pseudo-demigod level)]
[The spirit of the semi-god-level abyss item 'Book of Truth' recorded all the contents of the Book of Truth with its brain, and under limited circumstances, it became a humanoid spirit. ]
[Due to its special nature, it triggered the fusion of the 'Book of Truth', thus becoming a special state of half-human and half-instrument. (Analysis results in 'Book of Truth Records', 'Instrument Spirit Transformation Technology', 'Book of Truth Formula Composition Diagram', etc.)]
[Currently, Jinguji Kyuuzumi is in a semi-fused state, and it has been determined that: 'The ability to perceive emotions has been greatly weakened, and only the desire for knowledge remains.' (Analysis results in: 'Emotional Suppression Release Technique')]
[The divination conditions for the 'Book of Truth Control Plan' are insufficient. You need to obtain the blood and soul fragments of 'Jinguji Jiucheng'. ]
Looking at the pile of records in the Encyclopedia of Mysticism, Luo Shu frowned deeply:
"Is it the spirit of the demigod-level magic book 'The Book of Truth'?"
'And this pseudo-demigod... a wild demigod whose basic state has reached the demigod level, but who can't even entangle the most basic concepts. Tsk, is there such a demigod?'
"That's a surprising answer indeed."
Thinking of this, Luo Shu turned his head and looked towards the shrine on the stairs.
At this time, Jinguji Kyushu was standing at the edge of the shrine, overlooking Luo Shu below.
That strange feeling just now... Jinguji Kyushu felt suspicious in her heart, but still had a smile on her face.
What a tricky woman. The demigod-level encyclopedia couldn't completely hide it from her... Luo Shu narrowed his eyes but pretended to smile.
At this moment, the two sides looked at each other, then nodded in tacit understanding, and turned around and left.
Chapter 224: Soul, Flesh and Return
Kikyo Shrine, next to the torii gate at the bottom of the stairs.
Luo Shu walked down the stairs and saw a large group of people gathered here. He greeted them as he walked down the stairs:
"It looks like you have finished your business."
Hearing Luo Shu's voice, Jinmu Qianshu, who was standing in front of the dragon bone spirit's body, turned his head and said in surprise:
"Isn't this Luo Shu?"
"Have you caught up with Cong Yunya?"
"Ah, I caught him." Luo Shu nodded and said with a smile, "He found Naraku without any trouble and I caught him red-handed."
"it is as expected."
Nishiki Chitsuka heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, then turned around and nudged Inoue Takina, who was frowning beside her, with her elbow:
"Takina, look, I told you Luo Shu must have caught up with them!"
"So, don't worry about chasing and losing the enemy!"
Inoue Takina immediately raised her voice upon hearing this and replied:
"I don't care about that kind of thing."
"Yes, yes, you don't care." Nishiki Chitsugu answered in this way to cater to Inoue Takina's meaning.
At this time, Luo Shu walked down the stairs, greeted everyone, raised his head, looked at the remaining bodies of the Dragon Bone Spirit and other big monsters in front of him, and asked:
"Has the division of the spoils not yet been completed?"
As Luo Shu finished speaking, Biao Wenqi, whose body was covered with red mucus, popped his head out from the dragon bone spirit's body, lay on the dragon bone spirit, and complained to Luo Shu:
"not yet."
"We argued for a long time just about the distribution of the demon's corpse. We had just finalized the shares before you came back."
"Oh, by the way, would you mind switching shifts with me? If I were to cut up all the monsters' bodies by myself, it would take at least three days."
Hearing Biao Wenqi say this, Luo Shu's face suddenly became strange:
"I've heard that the bodies of great monsters have great research value, but why is the corpse the first thing to be distributed when the spoils are distributed?"
Hearing Luo Shu's question, the spotless Ikawa Xueli walked up to Luo Shu, covered her lips with her sleeves and said:
"That's because corpses, or 'meat fields', are very important resources."
"With modern cell culture technology, combined with some abyssal props and some magic, it is entirely possible to regenerate flesh and blood."
"To put it simply, we use some modern nutrients that can be produced sustainably, as well as technological means, to turn the 'blood and flesh of the great monster' into arable land that can continuously produce 'fresh blood and flesh'."
"After this, the meat produced is called 'spiritual meat'. It is in great demand among some high-level sorcerers, warriors, and even monsters. It can effectively assist in their practice."
When Oikawa Xueli said this, she glanced at Luo Shu and said jokingly with a smile:
"Your basic skills are not up to par, Luo Shujun."
"Obviously, the inventor of this 'Meat Field' is from your SDS."
Hearing that the flesh and blood of the "big monster" can be used to cultivate high-quality ingredients, Luo Shu's face was more or less unnatural.
He glanced at Oikawa Xueli and couldn't help asking:
"The flesh and blood of a great monster can have such an effect, and you can still laugh?"
Oikawa Xueli said without changing her expression:
"So, most of the modern big monsters practice 'fear' and feed on human emotions instead of monster power."
"Besides, there are many kinds of monsters, and killing each other is common. Unless they are members of the same group or family members, no one will care about such things."
"After all, monsters can eat people."
Hearing this, Luo Shu immediately understood.
Monsters that cultivate demonic powers can become high-quality meat, but monsters that cultivate fear do not have this ability. Is this why most monsters choose to cultivate the power of fear?
Is this a disguised form of 'survival of the fittest'?
Thinking of this, Luo Shu thought of another thing, that is, whether humans can also be cultivated into meat fields?
But this thought only flashed through Luo Shu's mind for a second, and he felt it was impossible.
As for the reason, it is definitely not due to technical limitations, but political limitations.
After all, the five big gangsters are still in power in this world!
As long as they don't fall, the fact that humans occupy a dominant position will not change, and the issue of human meat fields will basically not come to the fore.
Thinking of this, Luo Shu felt more relieved.
Although he felt very uncomfortable about eating monsters, it was easier to accept than eating humans.
Monsters eat humans when they are alive, and are eaten by humans after they die. This can be considered reincarnation.
Of course, if possible, Luo Shu didn't want to eat this kind of meat. After all, he had seen these monsters turn into humans.
Thinking of this, Luo Shu shook his head, then turned to Jinmu Qianshu and asked:
"Apart from these monsters, have all the other spoils been divided up?"
"Ah, that word, it's almost divided."
Nishiki Chitsuga took out a small notebook from his pocket, flipped through a few pages, and replied:
"Personal gains will be reported to the customs separately. Knowledge gains will be copied in batches according to the contribution ratio. The gains from joint operations will be distributed according to the agreed ratio."
Jinmu Chitsuka said this, flipped through the notebook, and then said:
"By the way, when cutting up the flesh and blood of a demon, the proportions are also calculated. After all, cutting up the body of a demon is a technical job."
Hearing this, Biao Wenqi, who was lazing around on the dragon bone spirit's back, immediately opened his eyes and said to Luo Shu:
"Oh, I suddenly remembered that my grandfather wanted me to become the most famous pig butcher in Tokyo."
"In order to live up to my grandfather's expectations, I won't let you do the job of cutting meat today. Next time, I'll invite you to my pig farm to kill as many pigs as you want!"
