Chapter 99 The Bottom Line

  Exploring new worlds, especially unknown ones, may lead to the discovery of worlds that are beyond human imagination. The Earth is no longer suitable for cultivation, but other worlds may have extremely powerful existences.

  The ancient records of those great powers, with a wave of their hand, turned the surrounding area into ruins for hundreds of miles. This kind of combat power made the world extremely dangerous. As for the worlds that Wu Yuan and Yu Xianrong went to, there might be even more terrifying existences.

  "Don't worry, brother. You two have the blessing of the Bodhisattva. When you arrive in another world, unless you encounter an existence stronger than the Bodhisattva, when you face a life-threatening situation, there will be a magical effect. This magic is similar to a substitute death token, your physical body won't be injured and will be sent back."

  "That's good, that's good."

  Wu Yuan nodded, Guanyin Bodhisattva seemed to have a good heart, especially towards the monkey, and he had inherited some of the blood of Qitian Dasheng, it seemed that good fortune was coming.

  "Then Tian, do you have self-defense capabilities? In other words, if someone coerces you now, do you have the ability to counterattack or protect yourself?"

  Yu Xianrong is the daughter of Li Shimin, and her status as a great singer and imperial princess makes it impossible for anyone to harm her. Wu Yuan is a man who fears nothing as long as his opponent doesn't dare kill him. After all, he has slept with them before, so they can't possibly send a group of beauties to take turns with him and then use the video to blackmail him.

  "I can hide in my own space."

  She glanced at Wu Yuan, and the space beside Empress Wu's body suddenly rippled, a medium-sized black cocoon appeared around her body.

  "I am safe in here, no one can hurt me."

  Wu Zetian in a black cocoon, with a very relieved expression on her face.

  Yu Xian's expression was somewhat curious, and she stretched out her hand to touch the cocoon. However, her hand passed through it as if it were an illusion, making the Wu Zetian in front of her seem like a mere shadow.

  "What is this special ability?"

  Yu Xian Rong was very curious.

  "Infinite space, that's what I call it."

  No longer on this shore, nor on the other shore, nor in between, Wu Zetian hid herself in a mysterious space that an ordinary person could not touch, although she could only hide one person, but enough to protect herself.

  "So, can you exercise your Void Spirit Ability on Earth, such as opening a spatial door or transporting us and others to another place?"

  "I can feel it, the earth is shrouded in an extremely powerful energy, here, all divine powers will be suppressed within the body. If my divine power wasn't personally granted by Guanyin Bodhisattva and belonged to a side branch of the Six Syllable Great Bright Mantra, it would have dissipated long ago. Right, brother, I feel that after Guanyin Bodhisattva comes this time, she won't come again for a very long time."

  "Is that so."

  Wu Yuan nodded, and indeed the legend was true. The Tathagata Buddha suppressed Sun Wukong with one palm, and also suppressed this world. Moreover, learning that Guanyin would not come again for a short time was also good news.

  "My ability is that I can cast the Six-Word Great Bright Mantra, this is an ability I awakened to a few days ago, and now I have reached the level of First-Rank."

  "I don't know what my ability is, I just feel a warm current entering my body."

  This was Yu Xianrong's response, and at this time, she didn't throw a tantrum.

  Very well, Wu Yuan nodded and then said solemnly to the two women.

  "A great opportunity is also a great crisis. Our lives will be completely changed from now on. Xian Rong, Prince of the Li family's empire, you should know how dark politics can be."

  I promised to protect Zhen Tian, I'm worried that she got hurt. At the same time, I want to ask Uncle Li, do you want to step up again? You think about it and give me an answer."

  The most basic point of the prisoner's dilemma is the mutual trust between prisoners and then keeping the agreement.

  "No, I'll speak on behalf of Xian Rong."

  Li Shimin raised his hand, with a sharp gaze in his eyes, "I have ambition, I also want to move up another step, and even more don't want to be manipulated by others, becoming an exchange point for interests."

  Xian Rong, after you revealed your identity, I received many requests for marriage alliances. Among them, there were a few that even I couldn't bear to refuse. Power and money have built everything in this world. Before getting on the car today, I had already planned to put down Sun Youcheng and talk with all of you.

  Wu Yuan saw through it clearly: those politicians would dissolve your alliance at the fastest speed.

  Your current situation is like discovering a natural gold mine in your backyard, worth more than the entire country. Then, the country will unhesitatingly confiscate it, and your interests."

  He smiled wryly, "A child holding gold in a bustling market, do you think the people who took the gold would let the child go?"

  When I was young and read history books, the deepest impression I had was that in the past world, only power was the most fundamental thing.

  One person rules the world, and any cleverness, power, grudges, or relationships can be cut down with one sword. In other words, no matter how well an emperor manages his country, if a swordsman comes, he can take everything away! Those who disobey will be killed, it's that simple.

  In another world, you can cultivate. Have you ever thought that as the first batch of explorers, they will think of ways to suppress you and not let you achieve greater achievements, so that one person can suppress the global power?

  Do you still remember the Bodhisattva granting you the power of clairvoyance, the ability to broadcast live to this world? Don't you feel a bit cumbersome and invaded of privacy? But in fact, this is the Bodhisattva's protection for you!

  Without this ability, the council wouldn't even approve your two going on an adventure, for fear that the person who comes back after three months will possess uncontrollable power.

  They will review and review until they feel in control of you or brainwashed, then let you go.

  Even so, after you return, you will still be subjected to physical checks one after another. After two or three adventures at most, the government will ask Zhen Tian to find someone else to go on an adventure and won't let you go again!

  Wu Yuan was silent, his thoughts were not as profound as those of Li Shimin.

  "Xian Rong, give up all illusions. The three of you now have only one way out, which is to unite and take consistent action. Only in this way can you gain the greatest benefit."

  "Zhen Tian, you are the most important person. The Bodhisattva has given you such great abilities, you need to find a way to explore and unlock more of them. By the way, Zhen Tian, do you understand computers?"

  "I understand a little bit, Uncle Li."

  Wu Zetian said in a low voice.

  "That's good, you can think of Brother and Xian Rong's adventure as a computer game, you are their supporter, you can provide them with plug-ins, think about how to help them best."

  "Remember, then Tian, when you arrive at the base, be sure to insist that only your brother and Xian Rong can go on an adventure in another world and open a passage for future generations. The two of them are one-of-a-kind, no one else will do. Got it? Also, opening the interdimensional gate is a bit more complicated, requiring many procedures, even Wu Yuan and Xian Rong need to perform some rituals, got it?"

  "I understand!"

  Wu Zetian's voice rose sharply, Only a unique and irreplaceable person will not be replaced or harmed.

  "I think you should say it like this..."

  Li Shimin quickly listed a lot of conditions, the key point being that Wu Yuan, Yu Xianrong and Wu Zetian must become indispensable members.

  Three people followed Li Shimin's voice, starting to recite, Wu Zetian's reaction made Li Shimin and Yu Xianrong very surprised, this little girl remembered all the words without missing a single one.

  "Wu Yuan, your sister is really very clever."

  Li Shimin smiled and tried to touch Wu Zetian's head, but she subtly dodged him.

  "Uncle Li, I have a favor to ask of you. Can you get my father out of prison? That shouldn't be too difficult, should it?"

  Wu Zetian asked like this.

  "It's not difficult, when they saw the live broadcast on TV from the prison side, I'm afraid Mr. Wu had already been invited to the VIP room, and the Minister of Justice's pardon was ready, just waiting for Miss Wu to agree to some of their requests. However, Tian Tian, don't make deals with those people, the more anxious you appear, the higher their conditions will be."

  "I know, Uncle Li."

  "Xian Rong, how about you?"

  "I have no objection, I'll listen to Father."

  "Xian Rong, once you arrive at the base, no matter what those people say or how they try to persuade you with lofty ideals, you must persevere. You should listen to Wu Yuan's opinions, but you can also accept their overtures and express your patriotic sentiments, etc. However, remember that the three of you must advance and retreat together. Remember, the Great Tang Empire belongs not only to the entire Tang Dynasty but also to you, and you can represent the Great Tang Empire!"

  "Okay."

  Yu Xian Rong replied resolutely, small matters she could be stubborn with Wu Yuan, but this kind of thing, she would never drag her feet.

  "Wu Yuan."

  Li Shimin stretched out his arms and grasped Wu Yuan's hand.

  "The most pitiful one is you, who has no spatial gap with heaven and will not be harmed by others. Your identity as a fairy is special, the royal family will go all out to protect her, but you, as someone who fights for the rights of the three of you, will inevitably be said to have no patriotic heart, no spirit of dedication, and even use various methods to stimulate you. Are you mentally prepared?"

  "It's already done."

  Wu Yuan's gaze swept across Yu Xianrong and Wu Zetian.

  If he doesn't take the initiative to seize power, it's possible that after a period of time, the country will assign a husband to Xian Rong and find an official's son for Zhen Tian to marry.

  Sounds funny, right? But that's the norm. The upper class would not allow him to become Yu Xianrong's husband while having a huge influence on Wu Zetian at the same time, making the three of them an entity.

  He must fight back; otherwise, he will lose the most important thing in his life, even if wealth and glory are not lacking.

  "Uncle Li, thank you for your help, I'm sorry."

  Sun Youcheng's phone kept ringing, that was the urgency of his superiors wanting to know the situation. Those people were not fools, if they found out that the phone contact couldn't get through, they would definitely make the convoy stop and see what was going on inside.

  Wu Yuan took out a stun gun, turned it to the lowest level, and pressed it against Li Shimin's thigh.

  His body suddenly jumped up, Li Shimin fell there, then smiled bitterly and pretended to be unconscious. This can't deceive people, but it can provide an excuse.

  Soon after, the convoy stopped and someone opened the car door to see the scene inside. Without saying much, they woke up Li Shimin and Sun Youcheng, then separated Wu Yuan into three cars, and the convoy continued on its way.

  This time, there was no more time for three people to be alone together again.
