The End of the Earth

Chapter 136 The Demon's Hint

"Is that what I understood? A literal demigod?

"Xiang, do you know what you are talking about? Are you saying that there are gods in this world?"

Wang Gungun, who has been immersed in scientific research all her life, is a staunch atheist. She really doesn't understand why Xiang San has such a naive idea.

Not only her, but the people present also did not believe in the so-called gods, let alone the existence of demigods.

Xiang San patiently explained to them what he encountered when he led Galamo in the fairy palace.

After listening to his story, everyone fell silent. There were many things worth their consideration.

"Even if it really is God or something else, so what?

When did you start to be afraid of these things, brother? "

Gnief hit Xiang San's shoulder to express his confusion. Xiang San's strong body made Gnief's hand feel a little painful.

"Demigod! Do you understand what that is? He might have destructive power we can't even imagine, like blowing a rocket base up into the sky with a wave of his hand!

Aren't you afraid?"

Xiang San did not see any panic on anyone's face, at most there was a look of surprise.

"I'm not afraid, Commander.

And I don't understand why you're scared, it just seems weird to me.

Even if there really are gods from another world, I don’t think you would be afraid. I am confused by your current state…”

Shan Qiao's serious expression made Xiang San fall into a state of confusion from which he could not extricate himself.

Shouldn't I be afraid?

He felt that what Shan Qiao said made sense, but he also felt something was wrong. Isn't it normal for mortals to fear God?

Wang Gungun used her slender fingers to pick up a piece of greasy meat from the plate and brought it to her mouth, savoring it carefully. She closed her eyes and savored the taste in her mouth. After a while, she opened her eyes, swallowed the food in her mouth, and whispered, "You said that Ling has the ability to control demigods, right?"

“Yeah, controlling a demigod… How can there be such a thing as a god in this world?

The only thing I didn't expect on this trip to the underground fairyland was the gods, especially that spirit, the inner demon of the ancient god.

Such an opponent, such an opponent..."

How is it possible that God exists?

Isn’t the reason why humans worship gods because gods don’t exist?

Shan Qiao and the others seemed to have sensed Xiang San's fear as well. With the ability to control a demigod, even if he wasn't a god, he was no different from a god, right?

They don't know whether the current technology on Earth can resist the gods, but the rocket base certainly can't. Not to mention demigods and gods, even if two powerful neighboring countries invade, the rocket base will not be able to hold out for long.

"Then how can you be sure you're not under the influence of the spirit? He can control demigods, so why can't he control you?

Even if I can't control you directly, there should be a way to influence your will.

Mr. Xiang, you are now like a little quail frightened by thunder.

Do you still know yourself?"

Wang Gungun's words were a bit sharp, and Gniev pulled her clothes to indicate that her words were too harsh.

She ignored him and wiped her greasy hands on Gniev.

Gniev coughed awkwardly and comforted himself that he couldn't get angry with this woman, otherwise he would suffer when he was injured and needed her treatment in the future.

“First, that spirit is restricted by the rules of the Eight Hundred Palaces.

The second point is that the Eight Hundred Palaces have eight laws covering the Immortal Residence. You forcibly obtained and stole two of the law fragments, but that spirit didn't care. At least he didn't show it.

The third point is that he is clearly restricted by certain rules of the Immortal Palace and cannot directly influence the free will of intelligent creatures, but according to Ling's description, he can control demigods.

"Everyone, please express your opinions. We can't rely on your commander for everything. Look at his current state. If we don't help him, he'll scare himself to death."

What Wang Gungun said made sense. It was obvious that there was something wrong with Xiang San at the moment. They had not heard of what Xiang San would be afraid of. Even a god should not be so afraid... Even if he was afraid, he shouldn't be this scared, right?

"Have it!"

Zhou Yuanqing pulled a stool over and sat next to the dining table, seeming to be thinking of something.

"Look, that guy called Ling can control demigods, and the Immortal Palace does not allow direct influence on the free will of intelligent creatures.

So, to put it the other way around, the two controlled demigods were controlled after becoming demigods. Perhaps free will no longer exists after becoming a demigod."

Everyone felt that there was some truth in it, and they all turned their attention to Kalu, asking what happened at that time. He should know the most since he was beside Xiang San.

"Guys, I don't know either. The commander asked me to lead the team to the rendezvous point first.

I just remember that when the commander arrived at the place, he urged the brothers to return to the base as soon as possible. The whole team turned into demons and ran all the way back for a whole day.

Not to mention you, I also don’t understand what’s wrong with the commander.”

Everyone fell into deep thought again. Even Kalu, who was accompanying them, could not provide any clues. This was...

"Ms. Wang, you are engaged in scientific research, are knowledgeable and talented, and have a sharp logical mind.

What do you think?

When Shan Qiao asked this question, everyone's attention turned to Wang Gungun again.

Her abilities may not be outstanding, but her brain is certainly extraordinary. She is well-versed in a wide range of medical disciplines beyond her profession. Most people don't have the energy and brains to do this.

"Well, seeing how pitiful your commander looks, I'll help you analyze it.

Judging from Xiang San's words, there are two possibilities.

One possibility is that the power of the laws he stole from the Immortal Palace contained a mysterious force that he couldn't perceive, and this force influenced his thoughts. Although I haven't been with him for long, I've read his file before. A bounty mercenary who has been with death for years is afraid of death? He's not that cowardly.

He was facing death, whether it was a gun or a god.

no difference.

The other possibility is that the spirit used magical powers and rules on him that were not under the rules of the Immortal Palace.

As for which one is more likely, you can choose for yourself.

In fact, even if we determine which conclusion it is, it is meaningless.”

Wang Gungun's words left everyone confused.

"Pointless?"

"That's right! Even if we know, we can't help him. If that spirit is really on the same level as a god, what can we mortals do to his methods?

It makes no sense.”

Wang Gungun's expression was very calm, unlike everyone else's solemn expressions. She was able to remain calm and composed while plotting against the enemy of God. Her performance really shocked everyone. She was truly an extraordinary woman.

For Wang Gungun, everything in the world is as dull as water, and gods are no exception. If she were to handle and study the corpse of a god, it might cause some fluctuations in her heart.

"How do you know for sure that Ling also possesses the laws of divine power?"

Xiang San's face looked like a capital "囧" at this moment, and his mind was confused, but his doubts were also the doubts of everyone.

"Then how can you be sure that the Eight Hundred Palaces you mentioned only have those eight magical laws?

From the moment you entered that immortal palace, all the overviews and structures were described by that spirit, right?

I'm actually a bit interested in this guy. If he doesn't become a god, he'd definitely have a future as a psychiatrist under my tutelage."

Gniew suddenly slammed the table, startling everyone.

"I see! Doctor Wang, you mean Brother Xiang was hypnotized!"
