As we said before, in the plot of "Chang'an Fireworks", Zhang Jiao's ultimate goal is actually Liu Bian.
The Yellow Turbans are destined to be exhausted. If Zhang Jiao wants to survive, he needs to use Liu Bian to protect himself.
The safest way is of course to seize the body.
Seize the body and replace it - to put it simply, it means changing the soul. By blood, it is Liu Bian, but in essence it is still Zhang Jiao.
However, this method requires a lot of time for the extremely weak Zhang Jiao.
The second is integration.
The two remnant souls merge into one - Liu Bian is Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Jiao is also Liu Bian. You have me, and I have you.
The disadvantage is that the souls of both parties will influence each other and assimilate each other.
And it also takes a long time.
Chang'an City's retreat was so fast that Zhang Jiao was too late for the above two methods.
So, he chose the last resort.
Intrusion.
After breaking through the defense of Liu Bian's soul with the small glazed sword, Zhang Jiao forcibly invaded Liu Bian's brain and used his more powerful spiritual power to control Liu Bian's soul.
The reason why this is the last resort is because this method is equivalent to two souls in one body. If some profound magicians or some special devices are used, they will be able to find out the clues immediately.
For example, the jade seal is an artifact inherited from the Han Dynasty.
You can't kill the original soul directly, otherwise the body and the intruder's soul will die directly.
However, the NPCs and players present did not understand these ins and outs.
They only knew that there must be something wrong with Liu Bian.
But what's the problem?
No one can tell.
In silence, "Liu Bian" looked around with a bright smile on his face.
"Why are you turning your weapons against me?"
"Brother Xie? I am your royal brother! We grew up together, don't you remember?"
"Da Zongzheng? I often hear my father, the Queen, and my mother talking about you, saying that you are upright and unyielding, and that you are a pillar of the great nation. Why, you want to kill me too?"
"Shouyi? You personally saved my life from Shi Changshi and came to help me get rid of these rebels!"
"Whoever helps me get rid of these rebels will be rewarded heavily by me!"
No one responded to him, and there was silence all around.
After a long time, the smile on "Liu Bian's" face gradually faded, and there seemed to be thunder flashing in his eyebrows.
Then he saw lightning and thunder in the sky, and the wind and clouds changed color.
"It seems that you want to rebel?"
——————
System announcement: "Liu Bian [Zhang Jiao's possessed state] has appeared, and the plot [Chang'an Fireworks] has entered the final stage. Please try to stay alive and complete this plot."
The plot finally comes to an end.
The mission description is very simple - stay alive.
This usually means that what everyone has to face next is an "impossible mission".
"Liu Bian", or in other words, Zhang Jiao narrowed his eyes slightly, spread his arms, looked up at the sky, and saw a ferocious black dragon rising into the sky behind him.
This is the luck of the emperor, and it is the power that Liu Bian inherited after Dong Zhuo was killed in battle.
Due to his weak character and other reasons, Liu Bian was not recognized by this force - but now, he is like an obedient beagle, showing off his claws unscrupulously in Zhang Jiao's hands.
"My destiny is destiny!"
"My heart is the heart of heaven!"
Zhang Jiao's voice was not loud, but what was strange was that everyone present felt the voice ringing in their ears like thunder. Those with weaker attributes were shocked to the point of bleeding and fainting on the spot.
"I am the only one in heaven and on earth!"
Chang'an City, after passing through Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si's ravages, was already dilapidated, and when this sound came out, everyone felt like the ground was shaking, and the dilapidated houses throughout the city felt as if they had been blown by a strong wind of magnitude 12.
It turned into ruins in an instant, and everyone present felt as if a whole mountain of tai was pressing down on their bodies, and they almost fell to their knees on the ground.
This is the power displayed by the combination of Zhang Jiao, the strongest mage in the late Han Dynasty, and the supreme bloodline flowing with dragon blood.
"You dare to attack the Emperor with swords, you all deserve to die!"
As he spoke, the ground suddenly cracked.
The surging magma spurted out from the cracks in the ground, and wherever it went, whether it was players, soldiers, or collapsed ruins on the ground, they all ignited into raging fire!
On the other side, in the sky, thunder and lightning danced wildly, pouring down, and then turned into flying snow, and then gradually became overwhelming.
Where the snowflakes fell, the temperature dropped sharply. Thin ice formed on the ground, and the players inside felt that their movements were getting slower and slower. After a while, they turned into ice sculptures and finally shattered.
The earth turned into white light and went away.
Fire is surging on the ground, snowflakes are filling the sky, it is... the fireworks in Chang'an City.
——————
Now Wang Yiyuan finally understands why the mission requirement is just to survive.
Facts have proved that your uncle is still your uncle - Zhang Jiao's power does not mean that players will be able to defeat him after developing a few versions.
This mission is not completely hopeless.
Zhang Jiao's move is the two-layered sky of ice and fire. At the intersection of ice and fire, the earth fire condenses to form pumice - here, the cold air of the flying snow will be offset by the heat wave of the earth fire, which is the player's only chance of survival.
However, these pumice rocks will soon break due to the alternation of cold and heat. Players must find the next foothold before the pumice rocks under their feet break.
In short, this is a task of fighting reaction.
In addition, if you are lucky and happen to be standing near Liu Xie, the Imperial Jade Seal will automatically emit a circle of light that is impervious to water and fire. As long as you stand inside, you can get through the mission safely.
Of course...provided you can squeeze in.
As we all know, Mr. Wang has nothing to do with good luck - his only way to survive is to jump repeatedly on the floating rocks between the lava and the fire.
This was not a problem for him.
Damn it, all the attributes are focused on the motor nerves.
Theoretically speaking, Wang Yiyuan's body is huge. According to physics, the greater the mass, the greater the inertia, which is not suitable for repeated horizontal jumps - whenever he steps on those pumice rocks, the floating rocks under his feet will
A spider web-like crack will appear in the rock almost instantly, spreading to the entire pumice rock instantly.
But Wang Yiyuan didn't panic at all. His feet seemed to be equipped with springs. As soon as his feet touched the rock, he would immediately rise into the sky, looking for the next victim.
...The only problem is that it hurts the other players who jumped with him.
"Don't come here... Oops!"
Ahem, Wang Yiyuan said, this is definitely not my problem.
…
Just like that, a full quarter of an hour passed.
"Give up the struggle! No one can escape from my hands...eh?"
Before Zhang Jiao finished his shouting, he saw that the flying snowflakes in the sky began to gradually subside, and on the ground, the originally rushing earth fire magma began to gradually solidify.
"What's going on? My power, my power is declining again! What have you done?"
