"This belongs to a big shot. It has the power to suppress filth. As long as this thing is here, the killing desire brought by filth will be completely suppressed. This is also the reason why my Yuan Kou can live in harmony with humans!" Mingyuan Jiandi took the initiative to explain when he saw Guhan's eyes fall on the black crystal.
"Something belonging to a big shot?
Which big shot? "Guhan asked curiously.
"He should be considered quite a big shot!
At the very least, he's a little older than me and you! "The Ming Iris Sword Emperor smiled.
"That's quite big!"
Guhan smiled slightly, but his eyes were completely fixed on the black crystal. After looking for a long time, Guhan's eyes suddenly twitched unconsciously. He then asked Mingyuan Jiandi, "Can I touch it?"
"Up to you!"
Mingyuan Jiandi said indifferently. Guhan touched the black crystal with his hand. The moment his hands touched the black crystal, Guhan immediately retracted his hand. At the same time, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat … At the moment of contact, Guhan felt as if this black crystal was going to absorb his soul.
In fact, when Guhan checked his body and mind, he was surprised to find that about a thousand of his consciousness fragments had disappeared. The consciousness fragments themselves were split from his soul. Obviously, these missing consciousness fragments were absorbed by this black crystal, completely cutting off the connection with Guhan and disappearing without a trace.
"This is a crystal that can swallow consciousness fragments!"
Guhan said in a slightly surprised tone. This was the first time that Guhan had encountered something that could swallow consciousness fragments.
"Oh, you can actually say the words' consciousness fragments'. It seems that I found the right person this time!"
Hearing the words' consciousness fragments' from Guhan's mouth, Mingyuan Jiandi suddenly laughed happily.
"You still don't know if I'm the person you're looking for?" Guhan said with a frown.
"Almost. I was 70% sure that it was you before. Since you can say the words' consciousness fragments', I'm 90% sure!"
Mingyuan Jiandi nodded and said, "In fact, I'm not afraid to tell you that at the beginning, I thought this person was Liu Anna, but I was wrong.
Later, I thought it was Song Yifei, but I was wrong again.
A few years ago, I thought that Lu Xihua was the right target, but now she is about to die. In the end, I found out that all three of them are related to you. Only then did I realize that I have made a huge mistake. My real target should be you, Gu Han! "
Mingyuan Jiandi sighed and said, "Unfortunately, if I had found this 20 years ago, I would have brought you directly to Mingyuan City at that time, and there wouldn't be so many problems!"
"…" Guhan was completely shocked by Mingyuan Jiandi's words. Guhan had never expected that Mingyuan Jiandi's recent actions were actually to find him, and that Song Yifei, Lu Xihua, and Liu Anna were all involved because of him!
At the same time, Guhan paid attention to Song Yifei's expression and found that when Mingyuan Jiandi said that she found the wrong person, Song Yifei's expression did not change at all. Obviously, he had already known this.
However, Song Yifei still stayed by the Netheriris Sword Emperor's side. It seemed like Song Yifei had really taken the Netheriris Sword Emperor as his master!
"What on earth do you want to find me for?
Since you've found me, you can tell me now! "Guhan looked at Mingyuan Jiandi and said.
"There's no hurry. Since you've seen this black crystal and touched it, what do you think this black crystal is in nature?" Mingyuan Jiandi suddenly asked.
"I might not be able to tell by looking at it, but once I touch it, I know that this is an Imperial Zerg!"
Gu Han said calmly. Yes, that's right. This black crystal was actually an Emperor Zerg Dimensional Crystal.
However, compared to a normal Imperial Zerg, this black crystal had obviously undergone some special mutation, so it had become completely different from a normal Imperial Zerg. It appeared to be black as charcoal, but this black crystal was still an Imperial Zerg.
"To be precise, this is 12 Imperial Zergs!
This is a combination of 12 Imperial Zergs! "Mingyuan Jiandi said.
"12!" Guhan had to admit that he was shocked again.
An Imperial Zerg could create a base city that could protect tens of millions of people. Ever since the apocalypse, the total number of Imperial Zergs that humans had obtained did not exceed 20, but there were 12 of them here. Where did Mingyuan Jiandi get so many Imperial Zergs?
Gu Han's voice suddenly rang out. Back then, the Mystic Iris Sword Emperor had chased after Liu Anna for an Imperial Seed!
"Is the Imperial Zerg that you obtained 20 years ago one of these 12?" Guhan suddenly asked.
"That's right. That Imperial Zerg is the twelfth Imperial Zerg here. Twenty-five years ago, this black crystal couldn't hold on any longer. I spent a lot of effort to find an Imperial Zerg, but that little girl stole it from me. If she wasn't my target, I would have killed her. I wouldn't have given her a chance to escape. I wasted three years of my time for nothing."
Mingyuan Jiandi sighed. "However, Imperial Zergs are getting more and more difficult to use. One Imperial Zerg could last for 100 years, but now that 20 years have passed, this thing is almost full again. If I don't find the 13th Imperial Zerg in 10 years, I'm afraid this crystal will explode!"
Mingyuan Jiandi was collecting Imperial Zergs to maintain the existence of this black crystal!
Guhan's confusion was finally solved. However, at the same time, a new question arose. Why did Mingyuan Jiandi protect this black crystal so much, even spending so much effort to find precious Imperial Zergs? Could it be …
"What will happen if this black crystal explodes?
Will your immortality come to an end? "Guhan asked calmly.
"Immortality?
End? "
Mingyuan Jiandi was taken aback. Then, a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his lips. "I thought you weren't an ordinary person, but it seems like you are.
Do you really think that immortality is a fortunate thing for me? "
"If I told you that I actually wish that I could die immediately at every moment, would you believe me?" Mingyuan Jiandi suddenly asked.
"I believe you!" Guhan nodded. Some people wished that they could live forever, such as Ying Zheng.
However, some people chose to commit suicide after experiencing a long life, such as the Yuan Kou who committed suicide in the Seamless Corridor.
"Sigh, if it wasn't for someone's request, I wouldn't have been tortured for hundreds of years, and I wouldn't have been labeled as a traitor to humanity!"
The Demonic Iris Sword Emperor sighed. His snow-white face blushed a little. He took another deep look at the black crystal and said, "Do you know why an Imperial Zerg is added to this black crystal every few decades?"
"With the addition of Imperial Zergs, the crystal's size increases, and its capacity naturally increases as well. Her Majesty Mingyuan just said that if it doesn't increase, it will explode.
So, I'm guessing that this black crystal is used to contain something, and the Imperial Zergs can increase the capacity of this black crystal. Am I right? "Guhan said.
"That's right!
Very right. Then, why don't you guess what this black crystal is used to contain? "Mingyuan Jiandi did not want to let Guhan go, and continued to let Guhan guess.
"What's so hard to guess? Since this black crystal can suppress filth, it must be related to filth. So, if I'm not wrong, the thing this black crystal absorbs should be filth!" After making this guess, Guhan was actually a little hesitant.
"You're really smart!
You're right, this black crystal is used to absorb filth! "Mingyuan Jiandi waved his hand, and the black crystal floated in Mingyuan Jiandi's hand.
At the same time, Mingyuan Jiandi waved his long white sleeves again, and the entire room instantly became dark.
At the same time, blue light ribbons that looked like auroras floated into the room from all directions, and finally, they were all absorbed by the black crystal … Guhan noticed that there were not many blue ribbons, only two or three blue ribbons flew in every minute.
"Hehe!
Humans seem to have all holed up in Yuzhang City now, so they don't even have the interest to go out and fight Yuan Kou. If it was in normal times, the number of light ribbons would be ten times more than now! "Mingyuan Jiandi smiled bitterly.
"Are these light ribbons filth?" Guhan hesitated for a moment, and took the initiative to ask.
"Yes, these blue ribbons are filth!"
Mingyuan Jiandi nodded very readily, and pointed to the blue ribbons that were still slowly floating into the window, and said, "Each of these blue ribbons is the filth in Yuan Kou's body … Every time Yuan Kou dies, their bodies and flesh can return to their original world, but the filth can't be taken away. In the end, it can only be collected by me, the garbage collector, and stored in this black crystal!"
"Actually, I hope that you descendants fight less and kill less Yuan Kou, so that I don't have to worry about how to increase the capacity of this black crystal every day!
I'm so pitiful! "
After Mingyuan Jiandi finished complaining, he gently pushed his hand, and the black crystal flew back to its original position. At the same time, the light in the room was restored, and the blue ribbons disappeared again.
"Oh my god!
So all the filth is concentrated here! "
Filth was a very difficult thing to observe. For a long time, humans did not even know about the existence of filth. It was said that the existence of filth was only known to humans after Artoria's betrayal.
For humans, filth was something that could not be seen or touched, and even Emperor Sword wielders could not sense it.
So when Yuan Kou died, humans could only see Yuan Kou's body disappear with the Dimensional Vortex, but they never knew where the filth in Yuan Kou's body went. They could only roughly guess that the filth was absorbed by the Dimensional Vortex, or simply dissipated into the air.
They never imagined that all the filth in the world would come to Mingyuan City, to this black crystal.
