In a remote park, two young people were sitting in the afterglow.
"The patriarch had a long talk with the king last night until dawn."
"At dawn, the patriarch... passed away."
A young man said this with a somewhat lonely look in his eyes.
"Tomorrow...let's have our condolences." Another young man said.
Zhuge Mingshi shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Not only the patriarch, but also the young patriarch and his two younger brothers are dead."
"All, all dead?..." The young man flicked the ashes from his cigarette, somewhat unacceptable.
"Well, they are all dead. The patriarch and his descendants are all dead."
Zhuge Mingshi sighed, and after a long while, he continued: "Before the patriarch leaves, please give me a message for you."
"What about heavenly magic?" the young man asked.
Zhuge Mingshi nodded and said: "Everyone says that those who master the magic of heaven will conquer the world."
"But this is not the case. Everyone in the world thinks that our Zhuge family has obtained heavenly magic, which is like a tiger with added wings, soaring into the sky, but they don't know the disaster it brings."
"Not to mention other things, the coveting of heavenly arts by various forces has already made the clan members very anxious. Even the elders have their own thoughts."
"Coupled with the official's fear and even instigation of rebellion..."
"The Zhuge family, which was originally solid, is now in danger of internal and external troubles."
"The Zhuge family is actually not that united now."
The young man nodded without comment.
As the saying goes, a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade.
In other words, the magic of heaven fell into the hands of the Zhuge family, the most mysterious family. If it had been any other force, it would have caused a bloody storm long ago.
Since Tao is a "law", applying Tao is a "skill".
Can those who possess heavenly magic really conquer the world?...
"I..." Zhuge Mingshi paused and changed his words: "If the patriarch asked me to take charge."
"People are dead and ghosts are alive, and evil spirits are rampant."
The young man was slightly stunned, but he seemed to have expected it, "Mingshi, what do you think the mysterious world is to us?"
"Crisis." Zhuge Mingshi thought for a while and said again: "Crisis of world destruction."
The young man nodded and sighed: "Yes, since the emergence of the mysterious world, the real world has changed a lot, but the appearance of the mysterious rocks has brought new hope to people."
"But have they ever thought that treacherous rocks are also products of the mysterious world? Even the treacherous power in us, those forbidden objects, treacherous objects, and strange spirits... all come from the mysterious world."
"Our current strength is just a gift from the mysterious world. From the beginning, humans had no chance of winning this battle..."
Zhuge Mingshi: "Why are you so sad?"
Young man: "No, I'm just pretending to be serious."
Zhuge Mingshi: "..."
"You should know the cause of the clan leader's death, right?"
The young man nodded.
The most exciting thing about heavenly magic is that it can peek into the future, but precisely because of this heaven-defying ability, the user will suffer terrible backlash.
For example, death.
For example, death is final.
It could even lead to death and genocide, or it could lead to the collapse of rules and the end of the world...
Zhuge Mingshi: "The patriarch said we still have a chance."
The young man was stunned: "Is there still a chance?!"
after an hour.
After listening to Zhuge Mingshi's words, the young man could not return to his senses for a long time.
Zhuge Mingshi: "Did you understand everything?"
Young man: "Well..."
"Um?"
"Your accent is a bit strong, can you say it again?"
Another hour passed.
"This is what the patriarch paid for himself and his descendants' lives," Zhuge Mingshi said.
The young man sighed: "What a big game of chess..."
