Chapter 678 - 3: Severance
"Qianshuang Ningsnow..."
Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.
Ji Xin held her phone, frowning slightly, and suddenly whispered an ID.
Chen Lusi heard it, turned back, and looked at her with confusion.
"It’s nothing."
Ji Xin returned to her senses, gently shook her head, and then turned aside, handing the phone to Shanli: "Check whether this person belongs to the Southern Information Alliance or the Northern Information Alliance, which sequence of empowerers, but just check, don’t inquire, first give me the information."
Shanli took the phone, glanced at the screenshot on the phone, nodded lightly, and turned to leave.
Soon.
Only Luo Mountain, Ji Xin, and Chen Lusi were left in the room.
Chen Lusi withdrew his gaze from Shanli, did not ask what she was going to do, but looked again at Luo Mountain, asking: "Has Mount Tai not awakened yet?"
"Correct, his soul state is very strange, I cannot directly awaken him."
Luo Mountain sighed, nodded, and said: "Originally, due to Authority Ability, his soul was much heavier than ordinary people, and ever since containing and suppressing that entity, it has become even more exaggerated, as if the two are entangled together."
"..."
Neither the black market forum nor the messages from the Celestial Strategy Mansion group were concerning Chen Lusi.
Because just as the prosecution concluded, Luo Mountain brought Mount Tai to find him.
And right off the bat, a sentence... the Goddess of Longevity wants to meet him.
As soon as this sentence was uttered, everyone who had slightly relaxed after the successful completion of the prosecution instantly tensed up.
They didn’t even bother with pleasantries.
Chen Lusi immediately returned with Ji Xin to the headquarters.
However.
Although it was intended to see Chen Lusi, after saying this sentence, Mount Tai directly fainted, as if falling into slumber, and now it is the second day, and he hasn’t awakened yet.
"..."
Chen Lusi heard Luo Mountain’s words, frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then proactively asked: "Can Mount Tai’s Authority... still contain and suppress gods?"
"Mount Tai swallowed Xihua, suppressed Nanheng, rode mid-Song, surpassed Beiheng, as the leader of the five sacred mountains."
Luo Mountain paused for a moment, then softly replied: "People throughout history have regarded the majestic and unique Dongyue as divine, seeing it as the ’place where all things are nurtured’ and ’abode of gods.’ Mount Tai naturally has the ability to contain gods.
And this mountain as a symbol of political power, a mountain of Fengshan rituals... is still one of the original sources of the Queen Mother’s mythology, in the Wei and Jin periods built the Queen Mother Pool Daoist Temple, anciently called Jasper Pool, equivalent to a secondary Source Canon of the Goddess of Longevity, also one of the most important Source Canons for the transformation of the Queen Mother of the West into the Queen Mother."
Chen Lusi was slightly stunned; this touched on his knowledge blind spot.
But he quickly reacted, uncertainly asking: "So... it was precisely because of Mount Tai that Xia Yue hammered the Goddess of Longevity down to the mortal realm, right?"
"Yes, such existences can’t be killed... as long as we mortals still exist."
Luo Mountain nodded: "And as long as she remains in Kunlun, the divine procession is bound to happen again, the only way to stop it is to hammer her down to the mortal realm... but speaking of which, this is the first time Mount Tai has used Authority Ability to contain gods, do you remember the Monkey Anomaly Realm?"
Chen Lusi nodded.
"At that time, Mount Tai also wanted to contain that monkey, but was unsuccessful; he has no relevant experience, after all, during the few instances of first-class contact, when a true revival of gods happened, Mount Tai hadn’t yet joined the Celestial Strategy Mansion. This collective ’procession’ of Kunlun Gods can be called a thorough Black Swan Event."
Luo Mountain’s expression was complex: "So, now I’m uncertain whether, when he awakens, it will be Mount Tai or the Queen Mother of the West. If it’s the former, that’s fine, but if it’s the latter... Chen Lusi, your Authority Ability Source Canon occupies the Kunlun Pantheon, right?"
An entire evening.
It’s enough for Luo Mountain, who had not been involved in the prosecution, to understand everything.
After all, he is responsible for Kunlun, and Ji Xin didn’t intend to hide it from him.
And he finally understood... what exactly caused the anomaly at Kunlun that day.
It’s very simple... Kunlun has changed masters.
"Yes, but strictly speaking, Lan only temporarily occupied the Kunlun Pantheon."
Chen Lusi heard this, didn’t hesitate, nodded decisively, admitting: "Given the situation at the time, I had no other choice, and letting Lan occupy the Kunlun Pantheon, although it allows me to have the ability to suppress the Authority of most of the domestic divine systems, it also comes at a cost: I will be impacted by countless accumulated ’wishes,’ which will make me increasingly violent.
Although I can endure and suppress it, eventually... if the time extends beyond two hours, I will temporarily lose my sanity.
So currently, I’ve already let Lan return."
Luo Mountain was slightly stunned: "She is willing to listen to you?"
Chen Lusi nodded again: "Willing."
Luo Mountain asked again: "Then, if you let her occupy the Kunlun Pantheon again, can it succeed?"
"...Probably can."
Chen Lusi paused for a moment, then replied: "Although Lan is now by my side, I can sense that she still occupies the position of Kunlun Pantheon."
"That means, if when Mount Tai awakens, the dominant is the Queen Mother of the West, you’ll still be the enemy."
Luo Mountain’s expression became more complex: "Have you thought..."
He paused at this point, not continuing.
But the meaning was clear.
Have you thought about how to face the Queen Mother of the West who has fallen to the mortal realm?
This is no joke... even Luo Mountain doesn’t know how to handle the current situation.
The Roman Catholic Church stole the Kunlun Pantheon, then was driven down by Chen Lusi, logically speaking, he should be considered a meritorious figure.
