Chapter 331 The Laws of the Dao
"It should be... Li Jie."
"How do you prove it?"
"Do I need to prove it again?" Hearing Xian'er's voice, Li Jie rolled his eyes at her and said softly.
"Why don't you investigate it yourselves?"
"That doesn't count. Chaos is best at assimilation and disguise. Maybe you're trying to gain our trust this way!"
Xiao Jue's words made Li Jie's eyes widen, but upon closer reflection, it seemed to make sense.
Upon realizing this, Li Jie spoke to Xiao Jue without hesitation.
"The Northern Territory, the Ice Palace, the Wind God, the Celestial Venerable."
"ah?...."
He ignored Xiao Jue's stunned expression and continued speaking to Hong.
"A small teleportation array connecting Asgard, the Dwarf King, Odin, Heimdall, and Loki."
Finally, he sighed and said softly to Lulu, who looked hesitant.
"Hmm... leaving me alone in the dream loop of the South China Sea Altar, let me think... it doesn't seem to be too far from here, does it?"
With each sentence Li Jie spoke, the four women's expressions relaxed a little more.
This all happened when they first met. If the person standing in front of them now was Li Jie, who had been possessed by Chaos, he certainly wouldn't remember anything that had happened before.
As for Xian'er...
Do I need to continue?
Hearing this, Xian'er blushed and gently shook her head.
"No need, you've already proven that you are you."
"What about chaos?"
"died."
"Dead?!"
"To be precise, I have destroyed half of Chaos's divine soul that was left here, so strictly speaking, Chaos is still alive."
"how did you do it?"
"Hmm... It's very simple, I let Chaos transform into the Dao on its own."
"Transformation??"
Yes, during this year of enlightenment, in addition to realizing the conclusion that "I am the Dao", Li Jie also derived the Dao principles that truly belonged to him.
The spatial laws, killing laws, death laws, and even the original laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth that he used before were all, in a fundamental sense, ways for Li Jie to temporarily borrow the power of the laws to resist the great power of the gods.
But it was only after this enlightenment that he truly obtained his own power of law.
Therefore, Li Jie did not use his sword to destroy Chaos's soul within his Qi Sea, but rather used the Dao Laws he had just comprehended to influence Chaos's mind and spirit, causing it to transform into the Dao on its own.
"It's incredible."
Xian'er simply couldn't understand why he could make Chaos, which had the upper hand in every aspect, transform into the Dao on its own.
"Alright, stop worrying about this. Isn't it a good thing to destroy half of Chaos's divine consciousness?"
Xiao Jue skipped over and grabbed Xian'er's hand, offering words of comfort.
Hearing this, Li Jie just smiled and didn't say anything.
An hour later, Hong finally managed to lift the spatial seal covering the South Island.
With such a high concentration of spatial laws, if Hong hadn't already integrated the spatial power carried by the Cosmic Cube, even she, as the caster, would have had to expend considerable effort to break the seal.
Where are we going now?
"Let's go back to the capital first and see what's going on. We don't know what has happened in the past year or so."
"it is good."
After making up his mind, Li Jie first put the three immortal swords back into the sword-nurturing gourd, then took Xian'er's hand and rode the swords into the air.
However, no one noticed that the exposed skin on the back of Li Jie's neck had become visibly shriveled. Although this situation lasted for a very short time, it was a real occurrence.
As for the civilians who died on the South China Sea islands, the logistics department will naturally come to handle the aftermath after Li Jie returns to Beijing.
..........
In the depths of winter, biting cold winds swept in from the northwest.
There are few pedestrians on the streets of Kamijing City.
A few crows perched sparsely on the bare branches, cawing helplessly.
Zuo Qing stood by the window of the Supreme Commander's office at the Night Watch headquarters, holding a cup of hot tea, gazing into the distance.
"Grandpa, have we won?"
"A small victory, but a great danger remains."
“How come you see?”
"With the emergence of the Heavenly Court, people in the outer realms were in danger. The destruction of Takamagahara is a very vivid example."
"So... are the days of peace finally coming to an end?"
"Reluctant?"
"Yes... I was hoping to have a proper New Year's celebration..."
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Zuo Qing shook his head helplessly. Ever since Ye Fan ascended to immortality and Li Jie disappeared, almost all the affairs of the Night Watch had fallen on his shoulders.
This added to the weariness on his already not-so-young face.
What are our chances of winning?
As he spoke, he walked over and sat down opposite the old man in white, adding some hot water to his bowl.
"In my humble opinion, if we adopt a passive defensive strategy, the chances of Great Xia surviving are less than ten percent..."
"Is it that low?"
"War is a ruthless harvesting machine, not only a comparison of strength, but also a lot of planning."
"Sometimes, strategic maneuvering is more important than the front lines of battle, unless..."
"Unless what?"
Seeing the hesitation on Jiang Taigong's face, Zuo Qing pressed him for an answer.
"Unless we find a way to deal with those things on the moon, our chances of winning by taking the initiative with the little Heavenly Court resources we have left are less than 30%."
Thirty percent? That's still too low...
Just as Zuo Qing was pondering whether there was a better solution, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"Commander Zuo."
"what's up?"
"The Nightfall Squad and the Masked Squad are back."
"Really? You've come back just in time."
Hearing this, Zuo Qing's expression finally relaxed a little.
Just as he was about to drink water, the night watchman who had come to deliver the message suddenly looked hesitant.
"Is there anything else?"
"That... Captain Lin of the [Nightfall] team also managed to bring back a human with a magical artifact from his side."
Zuo Qing: ???
Jiang Ziya: ? ? ?
"What did you say?"
"You heard right, we did indeed bring back a human genius with his own divine artifact."
"........"
Just then, a sharp sword aura flashed across the sky above the capital.
Zuo Qing, who was just immersed in the news that 'Lin Qiye brought back a human with a divine artifact,' suddenly beamed with joy.
Excitedly, he ran to the window and pushed open the tightly sealed window frame.
He looked at the faint sword marks left in mid-air and said excitedly.
"He's back! Yes! It's him!"
