Chapter 226 The Last Trump Card

Paris, France.

A giant image appearing in mid-air is showing satellite footage, with two six-pointed star magic circles superimposed on the dark side of the Earth, their center simultaneously impacting Jinling and Chang'an.

Meanwhile, the Righteous Dharma Bright Tathagata Dharma Gate Formation and the Five Elements Heavenly Formation are protecting the dragon vein.

Hanamori shouted into the headphones.

"Tianjizi! Tianjizi!"

However, there was no response from Chang'an.

The white-haired Shadowbreaker Fourth Sister said, "Even if we defeat the dark mage Madeline, there are still so many mages in Chang'an. These people will try to destroy the defensive immortal array!"

Hua Sheng was certainly aware of this. Moreover, Master Ruokong and the others who were seriously injured in Jinling also could not hold on for long.

The white-haired Shadowless Man said solemnly, "We might not be able to protect either of the two dragon veins!"

Hua Sheng certainly didn't intend to sit idly by and wait for death. He contacted Xiao Caomei Zhang Jia and said, "Xiao Caomei! Since you were able to hack into the satellite so quickly, do you have any way to eliminate global computing power? This could temporarily relieve the pressure on the magic array in Jinling and Chang'an! It could buy us some time."

"What do you mean? Does it mean using a certain device to neutralize global computing power?" Zhang Jia's voice came through the headset.

"Yep!"

"Are you kidding me? What kind of monster device has such massive computing power? Even if it did, it would already be included in the global total computing power. Unless we bring a supercomputer from outside Earth right now!"

Hua Sheng was at his wit's end and forced Xiao Caomei to say, "We have to try something. Are we just going to watch all our efforts go to waste?"

Little Strawberry was even less impressed: "I'm a child! What's the point of nagging a child?"

Just then, Master Ruokong's voice came from beside him: "Hua Sheng, you talked to me about that... Wei Yu matter two days ago when you were at Daqian Temple. Can you find someone similar now?"

Hearing Ruokong's words was like a bolt from the blue. Hua Sheng said, "That Wei Yu who possessed super computing power? But she is no longer in this world."

Upon hearing the name, Sister Mieying's long white hair instantly transformed into golden-brown curls, and Xiao Qi immediately appeared.

Mieying Xiaoqi stared at Hua Sheng with a panicked expression, asking in rapid succession, "Hey, wait! You mean Mingyou Weiyu? She... she does have high magical power, but what does that have to do with computing power? How do you know that? Why is she telling you this? How far have things progressed between you two?!"

Seeing that Mieying was in a coercive manner, Huasheng quickly explained, "Weiyu herself is computing power! She came here through the Suixing Sha... Wait a minute! Perhaps there's a way we can try!"

He looked around, then looked into Mie Ying's eyes and asked, "Where is Jian, the one you just defeated?"

Mieying Xiaoqi narrowed her eyes, pouted, and asked, "Weiyu and Jian are both people I dislike, why are you bringing them up?"

Hua Sheng's heart tightened; he knew what Mie Ying was thinking. But now was not the time to dwell on such things, so Hua Sheng softened his tone and patiently said, "Mie Ying, I've thought of a method. We've all seen Jian summon ancient divine beasts. I think Jian can do more than just summon beasts; this magic shouldn't just move the location of the summoned object. I guess the summoning spell should send some kind of information!"

He continued, "Wei Yu came to us from the future through the Sui Xing Sha. If we can pass on the information, Wei Yu before the Qiankun Guard War can help us through the Sui Xing Sha!"

Hua Sheng looked at Mie Ying; this was why he needed to find Jian.

Mieying pouted and said, "Are you really looking for Mingyou to save someone?"

Hua Sheng nodded repeatedly.

Mieying Xiaoqi frowned and thought for a moment, then tilted her head back and said, "Fortunately, my fourth sister was kind-hearted and didn't hurt this ungrateful little witch. I think she's still alive."

After saying this, he vanished with a single thought of the Immortal Spell, and when he reappeared, he was holding Jane's magic robe by the back of his hand.

The female mage's face was covered in mud, and her robes were torn in several places, revealing several minor wounds from being pierced by the Fire-Tipped Spear. It was clear that she hadn't gained the slightest advantage in her fight with the Fourth Sister of Shadow Extinction.

"Hey! I've let bygones be bygones, it's time you repaid us for sparing your life!"

Mieying threw her in front of Huasheng, and Jian fell to the ground with a thud.

Hua Sheng stepped forward and helped Jane up, saying, "Jane, I understand we're on different sides. But as you've seen, those magic professors have all been defeated. From now on, no one will force you to become our enemy."

Jane didn't say anything.

Hua Sheng continued, "You never really considered us enemies. You must have your reasons. You should know from these past two days that I wasn't the thief who stole the Jupiter Silk. So, could you please help us stop those two six-pointed star magic arrays? It's all for the sake of those innocent people."

Jane looked down at the ground, remaining silent.

Unable to stand it any longer, Mieying raised her foot to kick. "Hey! You little witch, don't be ungrateful! Fourth Sister spared your life just now, believe me, I'll have her come out right now and give you another shot?!"

Hua Sheng quickly stepped between them and advised, "Miss Mie, wait a moment! Jian isn't a bad person! She'll help us!"

Mieying, her face contorted with jealousy, shouted at Huasheng, "Hmm? You're planning to protect her?"

“I’m not protecting her, but if Jane can help us, she can save many lives!” Hua Sheng turned to Jane behind him and asked, “You can, right?”

To everyone's surprise, Jane sneered, looked at the two of them, and said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "You two are... what was that saying? One of you is playing the good cop, and the other is playing the bad cop."

Upon hearing this, Mie Ying was so angry that she was furious. She confronted Hua Sheng and pounced on Jian, pinning her to the ground!
"I don't have time for acting! I've repaid you for all the kindness I showed you these past two days by standing on the side of the Demon School!"

Just as Mieying raised her hand to strike, Hua Sheng quickly grabbed her hand and shouted, "Wait, Jian is just throwing a tantrum!"

Mieying shook her hand, trying to break free, and said, "Pah! You cowardly cat in the water has the nerve to throw a tantrum? If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't bother with this guy!"

After all, the battle with the dragon vein concerned the lives of millions of people, so Hua Sheng had no choice but to act as a peacemaker. He forcefully pulled Mie Ying away from Jian, and when Mie Ying couldn't hit Jian, he raised his foot to kick, his legs dangling in the air as he desperately tried to hook Jian. Caught off guard by this sway, Hua Sheng lost his balance, and the two of them fell to the ground.

Hua Sheng helped Mie Ying up in a disheveled state, then turned to Jian and said, "Humanitarianism is a universal concept. Shouldn't we put aside our prejudices and cooperate to stop the disaster? Regardless of old or new grudges, can't we just put them aside for a little while?"

Seeing this, Jian did not refute further.

Hua Sheng noticed her wavering and quickly pressed his advantage, saying, "A disaster will only increase hatred. Is that a good thing for you?!"
Jane seemed somewhat persuaded, but she appeared powerless, saying, "I can't dispel that six-pointed star magic circle. I have no right to interfere with the Magic Academy's orders."

Hua Sheng shook his head and said, "I'm not asking you to give orders. I just need to use your summoning spell to find someone to help. It's the same spell you cast before."

Jane didn't understand Hua Sheng's intention and replied, "Summoning magic has rules; not everything can be summoned."

Hua Sheng immediately explained, "Listen to my plan first. Because the divine beast you summoned exists in another dimension, although I don't understand the principles of summoning magic, I speculate that this magic should establish some kind of channel to transmit information to other dimensions."

Jane seemed skeptical of what he said.

Hua Sheng gestured with his hands and continued, "Once the magic transmits the summoning information to the summoned, whether the other party can come or not should be the rule you mentioned. I guess only divine beasts that meet the rules, such as Behemoth or Bahamut, can arrive here. So this magic spell should have included the passageway from the very beginning."

Jian said, "If you don't summon the original divine beast, how can you guarantee that the other party will come?"

"Because whether there is a passage or not is not a problem for that person. As long as the information can be transmitted, the other party will naturally find a way to come over. Because neither time nor space can restrict her."

Jane looked at her with a hint of doubt and said, "That can't be right. Why?"

"Because she has the Jupiter Veil! She can travel through time."

Jane exclaimed in surprise, "You mean this person stole the Jupiter Silk?"

Hua Sheng quickly shook his head: "No, no! Jane, do you remember? At noon, we talked about how I saw someone wearing a Jupiter Veil. This confirms with absolute certainty that Jupiter Silk and Energy Strings can be combined, but we don't know how. Because in the future, Jupiter Silk has already been made into a Jupiter Veil. Although this person is not the maker, she is the owner of the Jupiter Veil."

Jian replied, "The person you're talking about comes from... the future?"

Hua Sheng nodded.

Jane pondered for a moment and said, "But I've never seen the other person, so I don't know how to locate them amidst the complexities of time and space and countless lives. You should understand that summoning magic needs a magical anchor point, like... coordinates. I need to use that to locate the object I need to summon."

Hua Sheng immediately understood the simple truth, but Wei Yu was no longer there. Apart from his memories, he left behind nothing that connected him to Wei Yu.

He shook his head.

Jane then asked, "Do you have any information about the other person, or... a close blood relative? Blood ties can also serve as a connection."

Hua Sheng shook his head again. Apart from the memories and name in his mind, he didn't even have a single photo of Wei Yu in his hand. Wei Yu had no parents, so it was impossible to find anyone related by blood.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered that Wei Yu was the embodiment of a love letter. That love letter was written to her by Chen Ming, Xiao Caomei's future husband! In a way, it could be said that they created Wei Yu. Moreover, Wei Yu herself seemed to be copied from Zhang Jia's information.

Therefore, as long as Chen Ming and Zhang Jia are present, especially if Zhang Jia is compared with Little Strawberry as an "anchor point", it should be possible to filter out "Wei Yu" from among the myriad beings in time and space!
After thinking for a moment, Hua Sheng slapped his forehead and immediately said, "Yes! I have relatives! Although they are not parents in the traditional sense, they are still related by blood."

Jane nodded after hearing this and said, "Hmm...we can give it a try. Please tell me the name of the person we want to summon."

Hua Sheng replied, "Her name is Wei... no, her real name is Ming You! She is our only support right now, our last trump card in this battle!"
