Chapter 29: So-called Supreme Virtue (Thanks to Pomie Zhi Ren

Afternoon, 2:00 PM.

Still the North Mountain District, the desolate area along the coast, the car led by Professor Ye stopped at a desolate factory. Several factory buildings were scattered within the high walls, and a low office building was covered with green plants. In the sound of the waves, it was quiet and silent.

There was no sign of disrepair. After passing through the mottled high walls, the park inside was so quiet that no one could be seen. There were no security guards, no cleaners, and no workers, but it was spotless, and even the green plants were trimmed in an orderly manner.

Simple, straightforward, everything was in its place, and no redundant items exceeded or hindered everything in an orderly manner.

"Is this opened by you?" Ji Jue followed behind, looking around.

"More than ten years ago, when I planned to settle in Yacheng, the Libra Chamber of Commerce gave it to me." Ye Xian walked in front and said indifferently: "This is my workshop. Alchemy work is basically completed here. You can move freely in Building A and Building B. When the equipment is free, you can use it if you need it. You must clean it up after use. Do not enter the C area, the one with the warning sign at the door, and the third floor and above of the office building."

"Okay." Ji Jue nodded obediently, followed the trend, and kept it in mind. He didn't ask what would happen if he entered randomly. Anyway, apart from death or life worse than death, perhaps there was no other development.

When he was a handyman in the project group as a freshman, because a stupid teammate misoperated and hit the knife, he almost suffered a beheading, so Ji Jue memorized the safe production process and took the safety officer certificate of the project by the way.

"I’ll prepare the things to be used next."

She pushed open the hall door and pointed to the spacious hall that was arranged warmly like a living room, and Ye Chun who was lying on the sofa watching TV and eating potato chips happily: "You can understand the situation with her."

"Aunt? Don't you have something to do this afternoon?"

Ye Chun was shocked, bounced off the sofa, hurriedly packed up her happy water and potato chips, saw Ji Jue, was stunned, and was stunned again, even more horrified:

"Isn't it just marking a second author of yours, why did you chase here?!"

"..."

Professor Ye sighed, really exhausted by the too abstract interaction between the two, "The time was brought forward a little. Ji Jue will work in the workshop from today, as an apprentice under your jurisdiction. You introduce the specific situation to him and popularize common sense. You don't need me to teach you how to train, right?"

"Eh? So fast?" Ye Chun was incredulous.

"By the way, he was involved in a vicious incident a few days ago. After suffering from ectoplasm erosion, he has awakened autonomously."

"Eh?! So fast?!" Ye Chun was even more shocked.

"Also, your thesis and his are both unqualified, send them back to redo." Professor Ye walked up the stairs, "Hand them in before next month."

"Eh?!! This..." Ye Chun hadn't finished speaking, saw the look cast by Professor Ye on the stairs, stopped for a moment, and squeezed out a tame and flattering smile: "This is very good, I like it very much!"

Professor Ye withdrew her gaze and went upstairs.

In the silent hall, only Ji Jue and Ye Chun looked at each other.

That messy hair and makeup looked quite sloppy, and there was no such shining feeling as in school, but it was more grounded.

And Ye Chun’s eyes were obviously more surprised, as if seeing a sow with wings flying in the sky, holding the happy water that hadn't been thrown away, walking around Ji Jue three or four times, incredulous.

"You are actually awakened autonomously? Really amazing!"

Ji Jue was blank: "Is it very cow?"

"Well, the force value is 100, you can get about 90."

Ye Chun grinned and patted his shoulder sympathetically: "Originally it was very cow, but last month there was a pervert who didn't know where he came from, directly triggering the Heaven-Chosen summoning. That is the real monster... compared to it, yours is just so-so!"

"Hmm, indeed."

Ji Jue nodded, it was hard not to agree, and then picked up her potato chips and another can of happy water, sitting down without seeing outsiders, eating first. Instead, Ye Chun leaned over, full of curiosity, big eyes blinking: "It is said that people who awaken autonomously have special soul abilities. What is your ability?"

Ji Jue lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious: "Quietly tell you, I can let the phone talk to me."

Ye Chun was surprised: "What a coincidence, I can too!"

"Then you are also an awakened Heaven-Chosen, really amazing."

Thus, the two looked at each other and laughed loudly with their heads up.

Soon, Ye Chun pretended to pull out a small blackboard from the corner, started to act as Professor Ye seriously, picked up the chalk: "Aunt asked me to make up some common sense for you, so how much do you know about Heaven-Chosen?"

"Report teacher."

Ji Jue raised his hand: "Basically equivalent to none."

"Eh? Ji Jue student’s foundation is really poor." Ye Chun sighed like a teacher, knocked on the small blackboard: "Then start with the type of Heaven-Chosen awakening."

Saying that, she wrote three lines on the blackboard.

[Upper Inheritance], [Autonomous Awakening], [Heaven-Chosen Summoning].

"Autonomous awakening, just like you, perhaps suffered erosion, or perhaps because of disasters or others.

Under the situation of coincidence, the soul touched the essence of Supreme Virtue, and then was able to ascend, becoming a Heaven-Chosen. Because the situation is different, the talent ability is also strange, strong and weak, weak can talk to the phone, strong can let the telephone pole talk to you, anyway, the upper limit is very high, and the lower limit is also very low."

"Upper inheritance, that is, through fixed rituals, using various special items derived from the Twelve Supreme Virtues, or simply using alchemy, contracts, organ transplantation, etc., to forcibly infect the user’s soul, and finally stimulate awakening and qualitative change. Those who use this method, the camp will generally be fixed on the Supreme Virtue pointed to by the ritual, and the ability is almost the same. The lower limit is relatively guaranteed, but the upper limit generally depends on the face.

The only advantage is that as long as you are willing to spend money, you can create Heaven-Chosen in batches."

"How much money?" Ji Jue couldn't help raising his hand to ask, full of curiosity.

"Well, let me think." Ye Chun thought for a moment, and replied: "Safe and hidden danger-free upper-level summoning secret ritual, probably?

It is said that there are those who use upper-level matrices and heavenly works to carry out, but the price is even more expensive, basically human feelings are greater than money, and it is possible to work for a lifetime to pay off.

Some are actually cheaper, not so particular, but the success rate is... hard to say."

"Okay, I’m offended."

Poor Ji Jue lowered his head in shame: "By the way, senior sister you..."

"Not really."

Ye Chun shook her head: "Aunt herself has a way. When I graduated, she also asked for my opinion. A whole set of processes and rituals were prepared. It is said that there is a chance to directly borrow the Security Bureau’s [Mountain Light].

However, I feel that daily research is not suitable for me, and fighting and killing doesn't seem to have much talent. It is safer to be an ordinary person.

I don't have any hobbies for research, and I don't meet the requirements of Ember. It is better to be an assistant to Aunt with peace of mind.

However, that set of things was left behind. I originally thought Aunt would use it for you, but I didn't expect... you are quite money-saving, you did it yourself, and you chose the direction of Ember, which is professionally matched."

Ji Jue couldn't help wiping sweat: "I already owe Professor Ye a lot of favors, so don't owe more money..."

He couldn't pay off his student loans for a while, let alone others.

"..."

Ji Jue finally had the opportunity to ask the question he had been thinking about for a long time: "What exactly is a Heaven-Chosen? Is there really such a 'Heaven' that chooses me?"

"Perhaps, it’s not necessarily, but it’s not one, at least there are twelve."

Ye Chun replied: "Heaven-Chosen, on the one hand, it means that the birth of Heaven-Chosen itself is difficult and it is difficult to appear in batches. On the other hand, some people say that the moment Heaven-Chosen awakens, they have already been entrusted with destiny.

Heaven-Chosen, are people chosen by 'Supreme Virtue'."

Saying that, she kept writing on the blackboard, and in one breath, wrote the title that Ji Jue had heard several times—[Twelve Supreme Virtues].

Ascension, Heaven Origin, Great Crowd, White Deer, Vortex, Heart Pivot, Ether, Gate of Eternity, Ember, Mirror, Entropy, Ruin.

"This is the source of the power of Heaven-Chosen." Ye Chun explained solemnly: "They are not living things, nor are they gods, but a magnificent tapestry intertwined with countless events in the past and future, extending to the beginning of the past and ending at the end of destruction.

To some extent, everything they compose is the world we perceive itself.

[Ascension] representing transcendence and truth; [Heaven Origin] representing order and governance; [White Deer] representing wildness and chaos; [Vortex] representing the birth, aging, sickness, and death of all life; [Great Crowd] representing struggle and destruction; [Heart Pivot] representing thinking and desire; [Ether] representing observation and recording; [Gate of Eternity] representing space and time; [Mirror] representing illusion and void; [Ember] representing creation and renewal; [Entropy] representing energy and explosion; [Ruin] representing matter and eternity."

"As a newcomer, you must remember their symbols and emblems, and stay away from any tapestry and symbol other than these twelve.

—Outside Supreme Virtue, all belong to evil ignorance!"

Ji Jue asked curiously: "If you accidentally get infected..."

"You will degenerate."

Ye Chun smiled: "If you are lucky, you will die very crisply. If you are unlucky, you will live very painfully. Perhaps you can become some kind of non-human distorted species that can live forever, eternally painful.

So, you must remember... of course, it doesn't matter if you can't remember. After a long time, you will naturally get used to it. Just don't touch those messy strange things."

Ji Jue almost lay on the blackboard, looking at it for a while, and was puzzled again: "You just said that the Great Crowd represents struggle and destruction, but... the Great Crowd is also Supreme Virtue?

Where is this good?"

"Yes, why not?"

Ye Chun said as a matter of course: "War and killing are also part of the world. Although ugly or cruel, that’s how it is. If the Great Crowd is not Supreme Virtue, shouldn't the White Deer, which governs wildness, instinct, freedom, and struggle, also be expelled from it? Doesn't the Heaven Origin, which represents governance and order, also symbolize tyranny and control?"

Supreme Virtue is eternal, overriding the world, not shaken or changed by human likes and dislikes. ===== CHAPTER 30 =====

"Supreme Good is eternal, transcending the mortal world, and does not waver or change based on human likes or dislikes."
