Chapter 372: The Consequences of Divergent Thinking
Zhongli looked at Gu Sanqiu deeply, then resisted the urge to reveal his true identity and beat him up on the spot.
Gujia is indeed the best medicine for treating patients with low blood pressure.
Brat, don't think I don't know what you're thinking!
"Don't touch? Is there any saying about this?"
Gu Sanqiu was very interested. Analyzing the context, the old man must have a clear reason, otherwise he would not have told him directly not to touch it.
"If my guess is correct, the so-called method developed by Xumi is essentially no different from the evil eye technology of the Winter Nation."
Zhongli put down his wine glass and said, "From the core theory and the relevant usage details, both are actually related to unorthodox methods."
"A friend of mine once gave me a book , which mentioned the evil eye. It is a technique that extracts life force to gain greater power."
"As for the evil god statue in this incident, it absorbs the spiritual power of ordinary people as a support, and transforms it through blood, spiritual power and other media, so that it can use part of the original authority of the evil god."
Zhongli continued, "Although Xumi's method sounds safer than the evil eye's technique and does not require the sacrifice of one's own vitality, it is in fact no less dangerous."
Gu Sanqiu understood what Zhongli meant: "Brother Zhongli, are you talking about the medium?"
"That's right. From a universal point of view, using mental power and blood as a medium is actually more dangerous."
Zhongli nodded: "Absorbing too much spiritual energy with mixed attributes, and all parts must pass through the user himself. Unless he has a magic weapon or a physique different from ordinary people, it is only a matter of time before he becomes mentally ill."
"Life force can be supplemented through many means, but if a person's mental strength has problems, it will be very difficult to cure it."
Gu Sanqiu nodded: "I see."
Then the plan of "Evil God Suicide Squad" was stillborn. Even he didn't have the ability to equip all the soldiers of Qianyan Army with a magic weapon that could protect their spiritual power.
If it is just an ordinary weapon that can cut through iron like mud, or simply a weapon covered with a layer of gunpowder barrel but with a high-explosive bomb as its core, it would be fine. These equipments have low costs and can be supplied in batches.
A magic weapon that can defend against mental attacks, if it were in a regular online game, it would be no different from being dropped by a hidden BOSS in a dungeon, and it would be a hidden drop that has a random attribute bonus.
It can be done, but it is not necessary. The cost of input and the output are totally disproportionate, which is a huge loss.
The fact is indeed as Zhongli said, some physical problems are easy to treat, but once the mental problems arise and even spread to the depths of the soul, it is really difficult for the devil to save you.
A certain golden retriever is about to come out. Even if he has a bit of a quick success mentality, he will never take the lives of the Qianyan Army soldiers for experiments.
"Wait a moment. "
Gu Sanqiu remembered: "Brother Zhongli, if that's the case, then the Evil Eye, Xumi's technique, and the Killing Intent Battle Soul, aren't their essence the same as the secret method of 'overthrowing the superior' that you mentioned?"
"Why does the power of the Killing Intent Fighting Spirit only consume a large amount of energy, instead of requiring a huge price to be paid like the other two types?"
Zhongli shook his head: "I am not too sure about this, but the little clues I can find from the ancient books are actually related to what Brother Gu did during the Sea Lantern Festival."
Sea Lantern Festival?
Gu Sanqiu frowned. Could it be that the old man was talking about the power of prayer?
The power of prayer can .
Teyvat does not have an ultimate materialistic worldview. Instead, this world is full of traces of willpower , and of course the underground veins are a major reason for this.
The question now is the relationship between the killing spirit and the power of will. From what the old man said, is it that this kind of power of faith has borne the "price" and allowed the Thousand Rocks Army, the former Thousand Rocks Group, to have the power to defeat the strong?
Wait...
When a person's desire is strong enough, the gods will cast a watchful eye on him, and the Eye of God comes from this.
Gu Sanqiu couldn't help but tremble. Did he accidentally discover some secret?
He still remembered what the old man had said to him at that time, as well as what he had found in the ancient books.
The Killing Intent Fighting Spirit appeared by chance after systematic research, which successfully expanded it into a secret method that could be circulated among some of the Qianyan Group warriors.
Was the use of this secret method really discovered through research?
Or, this secret method is purely based on willpower, and then uses the power of faith as a catalyst to strengthen the concept of "wish", thereby gaining powerful power through "casting gaze".
So, from which deity and which person did the Killing Spirit obtain the power?
If things are really as he expected, does this mean that Liyue, or the old man and the others have actually mastered some kind of ability to circumvent the rules a long time ago, allowing the rest of the people to have powerful combat power comparable to that of the owner of the Eye of God?
I'll go.
Why did I feel so depressed today that I ran to Wangsheng Hall to have this midnight snack, and why did I have the nerve to ask this question.
Gu Sanqiu had a blank expression on his face, but he had already gone crazy inside. He remembered what Uncle Ruota had said about the old man.
Insidious guy.
I couldn’t have really guessed it!
However, the old man probably didn't expect that just one clue would expand his thinking to this extent.
Apart from the reason that a certain ancestor speculated that there seemed to be an inner demon in the soul of one of his own family members, was the power of the murderous spirit and fighting spirit deleted from the records in ancient books due to other problems?
It’s really scary when I think about it.
The villain in Gu Sanqiu's heart is about to explode.
He didn't ask for much. If there were one or two large warehouses in his house filled with things of the same level as the Shenmo Pills, he would definitely ask this question in a showdown manner.
But he didn't!
That useless golden finger basically can't give you anything good except some snacks and nutritious ingredients.
How can he, with his thin arms and legs, participate in a chess game at the level of governing a country, not to mention that this game may involve things at a higher level!
Numb, numb.
The last time he forced himself to confront the Cook's Eternal Way, the old man almost turned himself into a patient with three highs.
This time, the matter is even more related to Liyue, and it is most likely a hidden clue that even the ancestors of the Gu family do not want their descendants to know.
Will I be sealed under the earth veins for five hundred years?
In five hundred years, Golden Retriever could travel back and forth to Teyvat countless times by relying on the teleportation anchor points.
If others missed something, it would be a waste of time. But if he really missed it, the elemental power of the flower would have gone through reincarnation 10,000 times...
We must not reveal even a trace of this in front of the old man. This guess is very likely correct, otherwise it will be a big problem!
