Chapter 377: Do You Choose Immortality?

Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Do You Choose Immortality?

Wen Jiang nodded towards Tan Heming: "Then give it to me."

The thing that Black Tortoise requested to give her wasn’t anything good, but it should be something she could handle.

Tan Heming closed his eyes.

It was also his first time doing such a thing, and soon, a trace of black light overflowed from the center of his brow.

Wen Jiang reached out, and that black aura surged towards her.

At first, Wen Jiang thought it was resentment, but when she held it in her hand.

[System modification item, would you like to recycle it?]

"Yes."

So it was another system modification item.

Spirit Restriction Shard?

But the last Spirit Restriction Shard turned into a card, while this one was a pure mass of black aura.

Tan Heming looked at this mass of black aura, and although he didn’t understand what it was, he could feel it wasn’t a good thing, and Black Tortoise had helped him suppress it.

He couldn’t help but ask Wen Jiang: "What is this?"

"It’s something bad, and it has a certain relationship with your loss of spiritual power."

Wen Jiang clasped her palm shut, and after the system retrieved the black aura, it had no more influence.

Tan Heming’s expression was stunned, then he said solemnly: "The issue of spiritual power suppression, the matter that the imprisoned Ricardo mentioned has greatly affected Yunxia, can we guard against it?"

"Yes, it’s just resentment, making a card will do."

Wen Jiang currently had two cards in hand that could dispel resentment, one was Shennong, and the other was Yama’s card.

However, these two, one couldn’t be revealed, and the other belonged to Mount Flower’s copyright.

Wen Jiang currently needed to create a card for the Empire.

Let them copy it and carry it, to resist the erosion of resentment.

Tan Heming sighed lightly: "Every time I hear you say create a card, it’s like it’s as simple as drinking water."

Wen Jiang smiled faintly: "I’m just standing on the shoulders of my predecessors, I just know these stories, now that I have the ability, making cards is simple. Once Yunxia’s mythological history takes root, sooner or later more excellent card makers will emerge."

This sounded a bit official.

Understanding her personality, Tan Heming just chuckled.

Wen Jiang continued to ask: "Now that I’ve got the item, is Black Tortoise willing to be summoned by you?"

Tan Heming paused, then moved his fingers, his vigorous spiritual power surged out, and immediately he brightened up: "It’s possible now, the Black Tortoise Card has some movement."

He didn’t summon it, because the Imperial City didn’t allow it.

The movement indicated that Black Tortoise had forgiven Tan Heming, his biggest concern finally resolved, and Wen Jiang saw the tension in his brows finally disappear.

She smiled and said: "Now you can be at ease?"

Tan Heming took a deep breath and solemnly said to Wen Jiang: "Wen Jiang, thank you truly for this time, I owe you a debt, and in the future, no matter what it is, as long as you ask me, I will do my utmost to help you."

If it weren’t for Wen Jiang, not only would he not have regained his spiritual power, but he would’ve lost the Black Tortoise Card as well.

He would have become a criminal of the Empire.

And Wen Jiang prevented all of this.

"It’s not necessary, your recovery in itself is a good thing for Yunxia..."

At this point, Wen Jiang suddenly paused.

She had thought of something.

Tan Heming was a very perfect person.

He was upright, reliable, and even Black Tortoise recognized him.

He was clearly leaning towards Wen Jiang’s side, aligned with his teacher Gong Shu.

And Wen Jiang herself has been contemplating many things lately, such as the matter with Sa Ang, such as Sheng Hongying.

The future of the Yunxia Empire cannot be placed solely in the hands of one person.

Jimo Xiao was killed by the people of the Yunxia Empire, and though she herself was powerful, she couldn’t protect too many people, she needed more helpers.

Tan Heming was originally someone from this world.

Wen Jiang lowered her gaze: "I do have a matter I’d like your help with."

Tan Heming nodded: "Go ahead."

Wen Jiang raised her head, suddenly smiled, and asked: "Ricardo has been confined for so many years researching spiritual power, aren’t you all curious, what exactly is spiritual power?"

Tan Heming’s expression stiffened, then he shook his head and said: "We have researched it, but haven’t figured it out, Ricardo’s direction obviously isn’t something we can accept."

Not only could Yunxia not accept it, but other empires couldn’t accept it either.

After enjoying the convenience of power, even if given a choice, most people probably wouldn’t want to return to the era without a great cataclysm or cards.

Wen Jiang suddenly said softly: "If I give you an opportunity, to let you know there’s another way to use spiritual power."

Tan Heming’s pupils slightly condensed.

"This way of usage is not what you imagine, it might bring unexpected changes, just like immortality, perhaps in the future humans can, relying solely on themselves, leave this planet and head towards a broader universe, learn the secrets of the great cataclysm of the past."

Tan Heming suddenly stood up.

Wen Jiang smiled as she looked at him: "Do you dare to take such an opportunity?"

"But, but..." Tan Heming, for the first time, felt himself at a loss for words, Wen Jiang’s words brought too much shock: "How can humans defy the natural order to achieve immortality?"

"Another usage of spiritual power can bring about immortality, of course, there are also tests from the world’s will, if you’re to go against the heavens, there’s a price to pay. When the test comes, if you can’t overcome it, it’s a dead end, and your soul will be destroyed, completely losing the possibility of reincarnation."

That’s the greatest price.

Wen Jiang should have originally died, not even her soul should remain.

The Heart of the World forcefully saved her remnant soul, bringing her to this world to complete tasks.

And now, Wen Jiang handed this opportunity to Tan Heming, "When you’ve thought it through, come find me."

Tan Heming hesitated for a moment.

He didn’t give an immediate answer, because what Wen Jiang said was too shocking, challenging the limits of a Spirit Card Master’s imagination.

Zero Egg screamed after Wen Jiang left: [How is it possible! Host, how can you let someone achieve immortality? It’s not reasonable, you can’t even modify others’ genes!]

Wen Jiang: "You’ve come to this world, what do you think is unreasonable? Didn’t you say people in your world could be immortal, now even gods exist, and I can make people immortal, what’s so strange about that?"

She’s already lived for over 1,000 years, and she couldn’t quite say she’s lived enough.

But dying is fine too.

Wen Jiang doesn’t mind.

Zero Egg sullenly said nothing more.

Even as a system, it’s probably crashing mentally right now, wondering how Wen Jiang could do such things.

And Wen Jiang had much more to consider.

Now that she had made things clear with Tan Heming, he wouldn’t speak out, so the next target would be Sheng Hongying?

These two were Wen Jiang’s most good-looking options.

But there was still one current issue, which was to figure out how to get rid of Yin Tianxiao, as long as this person remains, they will be an eyesore.
