My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 390 Gaia's Promotion
After leaving the small town, they headed all the way to Purple Demon City.

On the way, Jiang Chen finally understood.

As he had judged before, among all the lords, the Skinned Ghost should be the weakest one.

But it is precisely because of its weakness that it possesses a divine weapon.

Because all the powerful bosses want to make their own achievements.

For example, Lord Caspar, even though he doesn't have any magical weapons, he has created powerful rules of his own, forming a unique life form that wanders between life and death, making him extremely difficult to kill.

Every powerful lord has his own pursuit, which is that they are unwilling to obey even the Discipline and Inquisition. For them, isn’t it better to become the king themselves than to be the dog of the king?

Only weak lords like the Flayed Ghost would choose to sell themselves - that is, to serve the Discipline Inquisition and become a special lord.

"This is not a municipality. The boss of our municipality is really awesome. He is not a weakling who sells himself out." Jiang Chen muttered.

The boy was helpless: "Do you know what a metaphor is?"

"Okay." Jiang Chen shrugged: "Then tell me about the Discipline Tribunal. I mean, only the Discipline Tribunal can produce divine weapons?"

"Yes." The boy replied.

"why?"

The boy was very surprised: "Didn't you take away the Blade of Punishment? Don't you understand?"

It wasn’t me who took it away.

The young sage looked at him in confusion, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Well, you have your own secrets, and I won't ask. Since you ask, then I will answer you directly, because the artifact is the only one that has the ability to rule, and only the Discipline Judgment can do this."

rule?

Jiang Chen was surprised: "Wait, according to my understanding, rules and power are two systems. For example, Casper's seal is a rule-based semi-artifact, but after its rules are stripped away, it is just an ordinary semi-artifact. In addition, Asbilot's weapon also has rules, so it is not just something that the Discipline Judgment can do!"

The boy nodded: "Yes, but do you know that there are unique and universal rules?"

Ah!
Jiang Chen understood this very well, after all, he had harvested a lot of roots.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Are the rules on the artifact unique? For example, the punishment ignores the fate of the person?"

"Yes, to be precise, it is not called fate, but refusal to reincarnate." The young man said: "From the moment the ring is put on, all the people who receive the ring are protected by the reincarnation rules until one day they get rid of this identity. The function of the Blade of Punishment is to strip away the reincarnation rules. It is specially used to deal with those powerful people who receive the ring..."

The young man smiled and said, "Do you understand?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "So I'm not the only one who does this."

Every person who receives the precepts will inevitably try challenges after becoming strong enough.

Challenges one after another will make them more and more arrogant, until one day they get beaten to a pulp.

When Jiang Chen killed the peddler, he received no punishment at all.

But now, just by stealing some money, the lord was attracted.

So it really can't be said that Jiang Chen is stupid. It's just that on the one hand, you have been trained in the habit of challenging your limits by the habits of the chaotic world. On the other hand, your father's prophecy is equivalent to encouraging Jiang Chen to do things in various ways. On the other hand, there is insufficient information and you don't know too many things.

In addition, there is another reason, which is the encouragement from Princess Anna.

Without her encouragement, I might have really considered the consequences.

After all, it is the prophet's encouragement.

So he looked at Anna: "Did you expect all this?"

Anna shook her head slightly.

This time there was no flash on her forehead, and the young sage said, "She cannot reveal any fragments of the prophecy to you."

This is the same as my dad.

The only difference between them is that Dad can only make predictions and wait for them to come true, but cannot influence the direction of the future. Anna can influence the direction and make things move in the direction she expects, but she will not benefit from it. Instead, she will suffer backlash if the prediction does not come true.

Of course, influencing events to lead to the results you expect is itself the greatest reward.

After understanding the limitations of the artifact, Jiang Chen began to understand why he could only give one Blade of Punishment.

The rules are unique!
If there are two, where is the uniqueness?
That's not a magical tool.

Sure enough, Gaia responded: "Do you understand now? The so-called uniqueness rule is actually the supremacy rule. After all, there can only be one supremacy. If you don't want the supremacy, then I will help you downgrade to a semi-artifact. You can have as many as you want."

Jiang Chen: "The problem is that I lost 50,000 yuan. Wouldn't it be better if I just didn't offer the sacrifice?"

Gaia: "The artifacts that come out of the Discipline Trial are all accompanied by a powerful will. Any master who does not belong to it will be forcibly wiped out."

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up: "Is there any from you?" Gaia: "It's OK, as long as you are the only owner."

"Can I understand it this way? If I exchange the Blade of Punishment and return it to the Skinner, it will die?"

"You can understand it that way, but unfortunately I don't have the ability to do so now. I can only wipe out those who are below level 10 in the Chaos Realm, and they must comply with the rules."

Jiang Chen: "..."

Okay, I get it, you need to upgrade too.

Suddenly thinking of something, Jiang Chen asked: "Wait, does this also mean that the will of the Discipline Tribunal can be wiped out and resisted?"

Gaia: "As long as you are strong enough, even the supreme rule can resist it... As long as you are stronger than it, you are the supreme."

You are so philosophical!
Everything is relative.

Power is relative, and even rules are relative.

Jiang Chen didn’t know what would happen next, but at this moment he had great expectations.

At this moment, Gaia suddenly said: "Oh, I forgot to tell you something."

Jiang Chen: "What?"

“I got promoted.”

Jiang Chen was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "What effect does the promotion have?"

"Didn't you notice that I chatted with you a lot today?"

Jiang Chen: "..."

You got this promotion?
Jiang Chen: "No, you absorbed so much essence, and you only got this promotion, isn't it a bit unreasonable?"

Gaia: "Because it's not my automatic promotion."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Chen didn't understand.

“It’s a blessing from fate.”

A blessing from fate?
Jiang Chen took a deep breath: "You mean dad?"

This time it wasn't what was in my mind, I just shouted it out loud.

Otto looked back at him: "Are you calling me?"

The boy coughed lightly, and Otto lowered his head tactfully.

Gaia: "Yes, your father is very smart. Since he knew that you had me, he has used a considerable part of the benefits of several prophecies on me. It's just that I was a little silent before, so I didn't tell you. But it seems that what you did in the Free Market once again met your father's prophecy, which led to a great increase in my interest in language."

No wonder I got so little benefit before... Damn!
Dad, you even dared to predict the fight between me and the Skinned Ghost?
Are you crazy?
--------

The void is empty.

At the foot of the mountain, Jiang Luo stared at the big clock on the top of the mountain, muttering, "Fuck, son, you can even overflow the prophecy of the Free Market? What on earth did you do? How capable are you of courting death?"

Not far away, Zhao Xiaoqi sat on a recliner with her arms folded, sneering, "I've already told you that your son is a bastard, and he's very good at making trouble. What do you think? I'll let you try this, right?"

Jiang Luo's face darkened.

He didn't know what Jiang Chen did in the Free Market, but the fact that he was rewarded so much meant it must be a big deal. Even if he beat up the skinned ghost, it was possible. After all, he had a wife, so maybe he could teach him a lesson with the Blade of Punishment.

The problem is that this can easily become a habit.

Thinking of this, Jiang Luo's face changed: "I know, Jiang Chen was not this kind of person. It's because of me! It was my predictions that forced him to make various attempts, even risky attempts!"

Zhao Xiaoqi also sat up: "That's right, it was the influence between you and your father. You made various predictions, and he fulfilled them. You both benefited, and the result was a more positive prediction, a more positive realization, and thus embarked on a path of enthusiasm for adventure."

Jiang Luo shook his head repeatedly: "This won't work. If he continues like this, he will get hurt sooner or later. He doesn't have the ability to face such a challenge! Even with the help of the lord, it won't work!"

As he said this, he looked at Zhao Xiaoqi and said, "Maybe I should reduce my predictions, otherwise he will continue to break through."

Zhao Xiaoqi shook her head gently, "Too late! I know your son. If he doesn't get any feedback, he will think that you must have raised his risk-taking standards. He will think that this is a gradual increase in difficulty, and then he will go crazy and commit suicide to ensure that your prediction comes true."

Jiang Luo opened his mouth in shock: "Is there no turning back?"

Zhao Xiaoqi said with a serious face: "Jiang Luo, don't be stupid. You and Jiang Chen have come this far. You support each other and push each other. There is no turning back. Either keep going or die on the way!"

At that moment, Jiang Luo's heart suddenly trembled.

He thought for a long time, and finally said: "You are right... The only thing we can do now is to go on! Get through! Either die or live!"
