Shan Li walked out with a serious expression, interrupting Mount Tai.
"... Ji Xin is dead?"
Seeing Shan Li’s expression, Mount Tai’s face changed, and he imdiately asked.
Shan Li paused upon hearing this, then silently looked at Mount Tai.
Chen Lusi couldn’t help but look at Mount Tai, curious if he would assu Ji Xin was really dead when Shan Li didn’t speak, and then show a sad expression...
But Mount Tai was evidently not that foolish.
The mont Shan Li looked over, he realized his misunderstanding and awkwardly averted his gaze.
"Ji Xin has woken up."
Shan Li also withdrew his gaze and continued, "However, her situation is sowhat troubleso; her Authority Ability seems to be rejected by the entire Yellow Springs Mainstream."
"Rejection..."
Mount Tai chuckled bitterly, "I knew it wouldn’t be so simple... After the Demon Slayer, half a city disappeared; now she’s beco the culprit."
Shan Li remained silent for a mont, then looked at him again and asked, "So do you have a solution?"
"I’m not sure."
Mount Tai hesitated for a mont, gently shook his head.
Shan Li stepped aside, giving way to the hospital’s entrance: "Please, go take a look... Chen Lusi, you should go too, it seems she has sothing to say to you."
"What just happened?"
As Chen Lusi walked forward, he didn’t rush into the hospital but approached Shan Li and asked.
Mount Tai was focused only on asking what happened in the Anomaly Realm, without ntioning what occurred in the present world.
Chen Lusi finally finished answering.
Mount Tai and others then left directly.
Chen Lusi followed Ji Xin to the hospital, still unclear about what exactly happened in the present world.
"Demon Slayer."
Shan Li was silent for a while and replied.
"Demon Slayer?"
"..."
Mount Tai took over from Shan Li and explained to Chen Lusi.
And the explanation wasn’t difficult.
Soon.
Chen Lusi roughly understood what had happened.
"Temporarily disconnecting the Yellow Springs Mainstream from Jinling, thus causing all the legends in the region to lose their source... Is it that powerful?"
Despite his short tenure at Celestial Strategy Mansion.
Clearly, he was no longer that ignorant ordinary person he once was.
He understood very well what it ant for all the legends in a region to lose their source.
This kind of operation... is much more efficient than sending Celestial Strategy Mansion squads everywhere to put out fires.
"Powerful it may be, but the side effects are significant too, and you’ve seen the result."
Upon hearing Chen Lusi’s words, Mount Tai guessed what he was thinking, sighed: "This thod is simply impossible to use frequently, don’t forget what role Yellow Springs plays in various legends; cutting off the link with Yellow Springs Mainstream for a short ti eliminates activated legends, but given more ti, it won’t just eliminate activated legends."
Additionally... don’t forget where our Authority Ability cos from; cutting off the link with Yellow Springs Mainstream is tantamount to denying the existence of us all, after all, doing this is like taking the stick given by a mother and using it to drive her out of her ’house.’
Even if this mother is kind, facing such a situation would make her angry; she would imdiately go back to reclaim the stick and then discipline her child.
If it’s a ’naughty child,’ she might even expel them from the ho; perhaps the child is young and strong enough to resist a little, able to forcibly stay ho but surely with cold stares, and perhaps even unfed.
If such incidents happen a few more tis, it might not just be a simple beating; the mother would directly treat the child as nonexistent, choosing to kill them."
"..."
After hearing Mount Tai’s vivid taphor, Chen Lusi finally realized the severity of the problem and looked at the hospital’s main building: "You an..."
"Yellow Springs is the mother."
Mount Tai gently stomped the ground and then looked at the hospital’s main building, sighing: "Ji Xin is the naughty child... And the reality is far less ’warm’ than I described. When a mother has children in the billions, how much love can she have for one child? In fact, she is even stricter than imagined, everything is done by the rulebook; what she rembers are only ’favorite children,’ ’rebellious children,’ and ’extrely strong children,’ and her attitude toward these three differs vastly."
Facing ’rebellious children’ and ’extrely strong children,’ she is often stricter; for example, Ji Xin and Xia Yue belong to these two categories respectively, and the cost of them rebelling against the mother is heavier."
Chen Lusi looked at Mount Tai and couldn’t help but ask, "So you are her ’favorite child’?"
Mount Tai fell silent, not refuting.
Actually, this could be seen from his and Ji Xin’s condition.
He just spat a few mouthfuls of blood and quickly beca lively.
But Ji Xin not only had her soul-container stone shattered, her Authority Ability was rejected by the entire Yellow Springs Mainstream... looking like she was about to be expelled.
Although the main rebel was Ji Xin, the preferential treatnt was too obvious.
Seeing Mount Tai’s expression, Chen Lusi imdiately understood.
His guess was correct.
He frowned slightly and then instinctively asked, "Then why not move?"
"..."
Mount Tai froze for a mont, then slowly widened his eyes: "Are you proposing treason!?"
"Treason?"
Chen Lusi paused slightly, then reacted, frowning, slightly puzzled at why he said such a thing, and softly said, "... The entire country is the ’house’ of Yellow Springs Mainstream, right?"
