Chapter 558

"You stay in this town, you are not allowed to go anywhere!!"

Wu Pifu says loudly.

Huang Rong sticks her tongue out at him three times and makes a face at him.

Wu Pifu is furious and reaches out to grab Huang Rong, but Huang Rong nimbly hides behind Chu Minghao and pokes her little head out to stick her tongue out at Wu Pifu again.

Chu Minghao says helplessly to Wu Pifu: "No, this is not a solution. Doesn't she lack causality? If you don't take her to travel through the dream world, where will the causality come from?"

Hearing this, Huang Rong's face turns slightly red, and she quickly turns to look out the window, but her ears prick up.

Wu Pifu is silent for a long while, then sits down without saying a word.

Chu Minghao walks to the office cabinet, pours two glasses of wine himself, hands one to Wu Pifu, and takes a sip himself before saying: "I know this incident has had a great impact on you. After all, you have never encountered a similar situation before. You have always been able to protect your companions, but this time, even with the extra-dimensional space, the result was that they were lost in it. I understand how you feel now."

Wu Pifu drinks the wine in the glass in silence. Chu Minghao continues: "I also lost many companions and relatives during the Fourth World War. For a time, I was very confused and even fell into autism. Oh, it was about the time of Liang Min's last iteration of madness. He—oh, she was a woman at that time—destroyed the sun-circling survival circle, and I didn't stop her because I was in autism. Now I really regret it so much that I want to kill myself at that time."

Seeing Wu Pifu still not speaking, Chu Minghao shakes his head and says: "So I said, I understand your current state. That feeling of not protecting anything, not doing anything, clearly working very hard, but in the end, everything is a mess. Your beliefs, your concepts, your persistence all become worthless. This feeling is terrible."

Wu Pifu suddenly speaks: "You should know my situation. I am just one of the current iterations of the countless personalities of the life 'Wu Pifu', so I can't answer whether I regret 'the past'. But this time, I have really thought about it carefully. If I had put them in this Land of Redemption during the high-risk mission, what would have happened?"

Chu Minghao says with a smile: "Then what is the answer?"

Wu Pifu looks at Chu Minghao suspiciously. Isn't the answer very clear?

The three small animals and the golden tree would be safe and sound, and would be well taken care of in the Land of Redemption. With Chu Minghao sitting here, it is impossible for any petty people to dare to take risks to do anything, and they can't do anything either.

Chu Minghao shakes his head slightly and says earnestly: "Then... are they still your companions? Or can they only be considered pets?"

Wu Pifu is shocked, and the original suspicion slowly fades away.

Chu Minghao still smiles. He looks at Huang Rong and then at Wu Pifu: "Look, the truth is actually that simple. This is also what I thought about after the Fourth World War ended and I fell into autism and confusion. At that time, I was actually thinking, if I could become stronger and replace all the battles and dangers of my companions and relatives, would they not die?"

Wu Pifu listens attentively. Chu Minghao continues: "Then if I go a step further, if I destroy all the armed forces of all conflicting parties by myself, would the Fourth World War not break out? Then if I go a step further, a few more steps, with the super-brain auxiliary, I can take care of all the government affairs, justice, and even the traffic command of a street for all humanity. It's just that I'm a bit tired. Would humanity have no conflicts, no contradictions, and everything would move towards perfect progress?"

"I, who was lost and autistic, really had this thought at that time. And I'm not being arrogant, as long as I want to... I can really do it. Then guess who was the last person who had a similar idea and could do it?"

Wu Pifu is silent for a long while, then lowers his head: "...The Ultimate Producer."

Chu Minghao confirms: "Yes, it is the Ultimate Producer. He wanted to solve all wars, crimes, and disputes. At the same time, aren't his ideas, thoughts, and actions combined exactly what you and I want to do? It's just that the object has become all of humanity. 'Put them in a safe place', right?"

Wu Pifu is silent again. After a long time, he asks: "And then? After you were confused?"

Chu Minghao laughs loudly: "So I sneaked into the sleep pod of the maintenance personnel and slept for one or two thousand years. When I woke up, I found that the dream world had changed drastically. At that time, our Gaia humans were in danger. I had no mind to be confused. The next step was to fight, fight, and fight. It wasn't until now that I finally had some rest time. As for the previous confusion... it is worthless in the face of survival. Of course, I still have some insights. This insight is nothing more than doing what I should do, becoming stronger myself, stronger to the point of invincibility, so that I can cover for my relatives, friends, comrades, and companions, and improve the fault tolerance rate. But I cannot replace them, because they also have their own lives, pursuits, life, and values. What do you think?"

Wu Pifu is silent. Chu Minghao pats him on the shoulder and walks out of the office, saying as he walks: "Next, it's up to you to figure it out. Do you want a bunch of pets, a bunch of women raised, or do you want companions who can accompany you? Even if their strength has opened a huge gap with you, even if they have become your pendants, even if they are of no use to you, but... what are they to you?"

After Chu Minghao walks out of the office, only Wu Pifu and Huang Rong are left in the office.

Huang Rong immediately jumps to Wu Pifu's side, looking carefully at the silent Wu Pifu. Huang Rong then smiles and says in a soft water-town dialect: "Brother Pifu, you also heard what your Emperor said. I also have my own will and thoughts. You can't treat me as those shameless... outside, outside concubines or something, right? You don't have the qualifications to stop me from following you!"

Wu Pifu nods silently: "Okay, you can follow me, but you are different from the three small animals and the golden tree. They either have no relatives and can make their own decisions, or their parents have given consent. But you are different. Your coming to my side was an accident. I owe you in the first place. Secondly, you are not yet an adult. You must have your father's consent before you can come with me..."

Huang Rong says strangely: "I have already performed the hairpin ceremony, I am already an adult."

Wu Pifu pauses and shakes his head slightly.

In the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Huang Rong's age when she appeared was fifteen or sixteen. The original author didn't mention the specific age, but according to the standards of the Southern Song Dynasty, Huang Rong indeed belonged to an adult. The hairpin ceremony for ancient women is the same as the capping ceremony for men. After performing it, they belong to an adult and have all the legal rights and obligations of an adult.

However, Wu Pifu comes from the 21st century, and the Gaia human civilization has already reached the 29th century. To him, Huang Rong is really just a little girl.

So Wu Pifu says earnestly: "I don't care about this. You must seek your father's consent before you can travel with me through many dream worlds."

Huang Rong's eyes light up: "Brother Pifu, are you going to take me back to see my father? Are you going to my hometown world?"

Huang Rong is indeed Huang Rong. She immediately understands the meaning of Wu Pifu's words, and a bright smile immediately appears on her face.

Although she is curious about the heavens, this conforms to her nature of fearing that the world will not be chaotic and looking for new and strange things, but after all, she is still a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child. Suddenly arriving in a strange and expensive place, the panic and anxiety in her heart are certain. At this time, hearing the meaning in Wu Pifu's words, she is naturally extremely excited.

Wu Pifu nods and says: "Yes, first to send you home, no matter whether you still want to adventure with me, but this is what I promised you before. Second, I want to go to your world to find some martial arts secrets."

"Although I have internal energy now, which has caused a qualitative change in my strength, relying on an introductory mental method, my understanding of immortal martial arts is always limited. According to what Rong'er said before, different internal skills have training for different meridians. Even besides the eight extraordinary meridians, some places that originally had no meridians can be trained to have meridians. At the same time, some strange internal skills have different attributes of yin, yang, and five elements. I also want to see these."

Wu Pifu's current strength has reached the peak of a grandmaster in martial arts. Even if he is just learning immortal martial arts, relying on the similarity between national arts and human immortal martial arts, his internal energy has reached the total amount of thirty cycles that Huang Rong dare not even think about.

But his martial principles for immortal martial arts are still very shallow. If possible, he intends to increase his strength again before launching the final battle.

Chu Minghao speaks personally, Liang Min agrees, and Wu Pifu is the initiator of this battle. The entire Gaia human civilization has entered the war process.

Personnel, materials, strategy and tactics, battlefield, objects and strategic goals... This series has begun to be implemented, and the first step is to summon Transcendents, which takes time. Most Transcendents are in the dream world. For example, the people Wu Pifu originally intended to call this time were Chu Yuyan and Wang Yihui, but Wang Yihui's team is in the dream world, so the person who came was Hao Cheng, who is in the same team as Chu Yuyan.

Before Wu Pifu enters the Warhammer dream world, he has about one to two months of preparation time.

He intends to take advantage of this free period to take Huang Rong to the Legend of the Condor Heroes dream world. First, it is considered to have fulfilled his promise to Huang Rong. Second, it is to run to this world to search for martial arts secrets... The only thing to worry about is that he doesn't know if he still needs points to fill in the martial arts secrets found directly from the lost world.

Wu Pifu and Huang Rong discuss and decide to rest in the Land of Redemption for one day today, and go to the Legend of the Condor Heroes world through the Main Brain tomorrow.

As Huang Rong runs off to play happily, Wu Pifu naturally has other things to do.

Whether it is the subsequent Warhammer dream world or going to the Warp to detonate the spiritual civilization, all of these require powerful strength, especially this time the decisive battle is likely to face the roots of two civilizations. Even Chu Minghao and Liang Min are under great pressure, and as one of the three giants of humanity, Wu Pifu's pressure is naturally greater.

Strength, strength, strength... He is about to test all his strength now!
