Chapter 394: The Ancestral God’s Game Has Hidden Undercurrents
Chapter 394 "The Game of the Ancestral Gods" has hidden undercurrents
ID, identity card, real career...
With this accurate information, it is basically certain that the legendary Dragon God Yun Zhongshuo is actually someone else.
His father, Jiang Xuesong, was once a licensed holder of the Six-State Priesthood and a leading cadre of the official special department. This new information was quickly being reconstructed in Jiang Qian's mind.
"Although your father's identity card is not outstanding, it does not prevent him from becoming the leading master of that era. Many non-lawful figures at that time suffered big losses from your father."
There was a looming luster in the eyes of the White Snake Virgin, and the corners of her mouth were raised.
"Well, I know that the strength of the identity card has no logical relationship with the category of the creature on the card." Jiang Qian agreed.
"Judging from the actual probability of occurrence, the mythical beast card and the exotic beast card are indeed more likely to stand out, but your father is in an extraordinary situation."
Our Lady of the White Snake continued to speak:
"Take our Special Operations Department as an example. This department has astonishing administrative powers. It is a confidential agency dedicated to investigating and dealing with 'unconventional' forces. It is divided into domestic and overseas parts. The selection threshold is extremely high."
"And your father was selected into the elite when he first joined the elite. During the Five States period, he held an important position in this elite department. Later, he even reached the position of commander of the operations of the domestic branch. Such an achievement, looking at the entire official They are all unique. Of course, because of his special status, he has always kept a low profile.”
Jiang Qian nodded slowly.
He found that the White Snake Virgin was always defending his father in her words, and her trust and admiration were naturally revealed.
However, he would not point it out, but he would only use it to gain some new understanding of his father's role as a license holder.
The impression left on Jiang Qian by his father, Jiang Xuesong, was that he was always gentle, wise, humble and decent. Although he and his family were often away from each other, he was able to provide his family with high-quality company every time they got together.
Until that accident happened.
Jiang Qian suddenly recalled an important detail: in the copy of "The Whisper of the Inner Demon", he "revisited" the accidentally dusty memory, and thus saw the whole process of his father being swept away by the torrent...
But the most incredible thing is exactly this!
If my father was a high-level card holder with six states and conceptual body levels, how could he easily die in the flood?
Were the accidents that happened that year really just "accidents"?
Thinking of this, Jiang Qian stopped his thoughts in time and focused on the story of the White Snake Virgin. Because the answer he was thinking about was probably in the story the other person was about to tell.
"If you have any other questions about your father, I can answer them later. Let's get back to business."
The Holy Mother White Snake seemed to have read Jiang Qian's mind and continued:
"The cause of the incident was about thirteen years ago."
"Initially, we received monitoring intelligence that there were abnormal energy fluctuations in the western mountainous area, and it was suspected that 'unconventional' forces were infiltrating into the civilian population. At that time, 'unconventional' was highly valued within the government. Therefore, your father immediately led a team to Check to determine the level of the situation and how to deal with it.”
"However, the results of the investigation are far more serious than we expected. The 'unconventional' forces monitored this time have begun to spread among civilians, reversing the order of yin and yang through the method of resurrecting the dead, causing many local original ecological tribes, The remote villages were immersed in the blind worship of this special power and named it the 'Ancestral God'... So, under your father's arrangement, I sent a message back to the headquarters to request support. "
"But when we were about to withdraw to the safe area and wait for reinforcements, an accident happened...the ancestor god launched an attack on us."
Madonna White Snake's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was recalling the memory of the incident.
Jiang Qian's mind also flashed back to the murals he had browsed in the corridor before. According to the Virgin's description, the "human suppressors" depicted in the murals were actually an investigation team sent by the government.
"In our past investigations, such extreme situations rarely occurred. In order to avoid disturbing more civilians living nearby, your father gave up the original retreat route and actively lured the enemy deep into the area. There was a fierce conflict with the fans who were infected by its power."
"Fortunately, your father is an excellent geologist. The area we were in at the time was a landform that he was familiar with and had visited and studied. Therefore, we suffered almost no damage in the first few rounds of guerrilla warfare."
"But I never expected that the defeat would happen within us... The Ancestral God invaded the soul of a certain colleague and assassinated your father Jiang Xuesong at a critical moment! He failed. Someone stood behind your father and took your place. My father resisted the fatal blow."
Jiang Qian's eyes focused.
The details of this scene were not shown in the mural, but he could still imagine the danger at the time of the incident.
Our Lady of White Snake also sighed:
"It's a pity that at that time, we didn't know enough about the abilities of the ancestors. We didn't know that any injured colleague might become the next assassin. In addition, we were already at a disadvantage, and we were even more tired of dealing with internal and external dangers."
"At that time, many colleagues including myself were infected one after another, our combat effectiveness continued to decline, and the situation was precarious...At this time, an unexpected person appeared."
Our Lady of White Snake paused for a moment, moved her red lips, and said his name:
"Dragon God, Yun Zhongshuo."
This was the first time the name "Dragon God" appeared in their conversation.
Although Jiang Qian had guessed and had a premonition, he was still deeply shaken.
He listened to the White Snake Mother continue to speak calmly.
"You are still young, and you may not know the meaning of this name yet. This Dragon God is one of the best among the first group of strong men who rose at the beginning of the super-species era. He is also one of the few influential figures who can quickly evolve to the six-state priesthood in the first two years."
"Of course, he is not a person who follows the rules."
"The most influential non-lawful organization in the country today, 'Ashes', grew and developed under the influence of his unique ideas."
The White Snake Mother looked at Jiang Qian:
"But this is not the worst."
"Not the worst?" Jiang Qian was slightly stunned.
The White Snake Mother nodded slowly and said, "He is your father's old enemy. Before that encounter, your father had participated in the hunt for the Dragon God and seriously injured him in the western mountains. Although the body was not found afterwards, the Dragon God seemed to have disappeared from this world and never appeared again in the six or seven years since then."
After these words came out, Jiang Qian was shocked again!
"You mean, my father once hunted the Dragon God in the west, causing him to be seriously injured and missing?"
"Yes."
The White Snake Mother nodded slightly: "So, his appearance at that time was even worse for us."
At this point, the White Snake Mother suddenly changed the subject:
"But what we didn't expect was that in the face of such a major issue and a common crisis for mankind, the Dragon God Yun Zhongshuo chose to stand on your father's side."
"He and your father Jiang Xuesong are opponents who understand each other, so at that moment, they naturally became the most tacit and well-coordinated partners! After a hard battle, your father used the private copy "Shenshan" that he had built for many years as a prison, and the Dragon God released four snake beasts as the guardian beasts in this ceremony. The two of them joined forces to seal the ancestor god in the "Shenshan"... ending this nightmare."
Jiang Qian's brows gradually relaxed, and those grand and arduous battle scenes constructed through the continuous murals have now become the "language" for him to understand the other side of his father's life.
At the same time, a long-ignored dark line is emerging:
In the causal mirror image of conquering Sha Jin, the "man" who was seriously injured and lost his memory, married and had children in Linyuan Village and then disappeared, and the man in local ethnic costumes shown in the murals, could it be the Dragon God Yun Zhongshuo?
The most important thing is that the time when Yuan Xi mentioned the encounter with the Dragon God is basically consistent with the time interval when the Dragon God disappeared.
Doesn't that mean that the relationship between Sha Jin and the Dragon God...
Jiang Qian looked at Sha Jin calmly.
At this time, Sha Jin's eyebrows were drooping, and his forehead was covered with crystal sweat. This was due to the tension caused by excessive intake of sensitive information. He didn't seem to have a very obvious reaction to the Dragon God.
Anyway, it's all in the past... Jiang Qian retracted his gaze and continued to focus on the Virgin Mary's story:
"The nightmare of the ancestor god is over, but the matter is not over, right?"
The White Snake Virgin Mary smiled and nodded: "Many colleagues who were contaminated by the power of the ancestor god are still alive and have not completely died, but they can't recover as before. The dead are breathing in a different way with "unconventional" power."
Her smile was slightly sad, and she looked at Jiang Qian: "Have you seen the murals on the corridor?"
"I have seen it." Jiang Qian nodded, "but the murals only go here."
On a devastated battlefield, the scene of the surviving corrupted people extending a helping hand to the two "heroes" who returned victoriously emerged in Jiang Qian's mind.
"If you were in your father's position at that time, what would you do?"
The White Snake Virgin Mary suddenly asked.
Jiang Qian was silent.
It's not that he hadn't thought about this question - it's just that it's too difficult!
On one side, there are comrades who are willing to sacrifice their lives to block the knife for themselves. Each of them is a person with flesh and blood and ties; on the other side, there is an unknown force that may bring endless disasters. Once it is tolerated, there will be endless troubles!
The safer way is naturally to "eliminate the disaster" immediately, but if it doesn't happen to you, any answer is just talk on paper.
"It's hard, right?"
The White Snake Mother sighed:
"But your father not only made the decision, but also took the consequences personally."
Jiang Qian listened attentively.
No matter what decision his father Jiang Xuesong made, he was willing to understand.
His father's beliefs and enthusiasm, the difficult times and mental journey he had experienced, are a symbol for his son, a way to communicate with the past. Especially when the father is no longer alive.
"Your father is a kind and wise man."
The White Snake Mother smiled faintly, and her soft eyes fell on Jiang Qian's eyelids:
"He did not relax his vigilance against the power of the Ancestral God because of the 'victory in one battle'. On the contrary, as the head of the special operations department in the country, he knew very well what kind of turmoil would be caused once the power of the Ancestral God entered the vision of the top leaders of the ten clans. Especially in the whole crisis, there is also a person with a special identity involved."
"At the same time, the omissions in this incident also made him realize the real problem behind this crisis of winning in danger."
"Misjudgment of intelligence by subordinate departments, delay in requesting support, and the sudden attack of the ancestral god... Any of these 'accidents' would have been extremely rare errors in our previous actions. But this time, they happened to us one after another. If these are not accidental, then the motives behind them are even more terrifying."
"Because this means that someone is willing to use extremely dangerous 'unconventional' forces to exclude dissidents and disrupt the current situation. And these people are likely to be inside us!"
At this point, the White Snake Mother paused, as if adjusting her mood.
Jiang Qian's mood also became complicated in an instant. He understood what the Mother meant by "our inside"! And this undoubtedly increased the difficulty of decision-making on the situation.
Those unspeakable feelings were all covered in the long sigh of the White Snake Mother.
She continued:
"So, your father made a comprehensive assessment of the current situation and reached a consensus with the other party, Dragon God Yun Zhongshuo, on how to deal with this crisis."
"He concealed part of the truth of the whole incident, including the involvement of the Dragon God, and those of us who were infected by the power of the Ancestral God but survived. He placed us in the most inaccessible area in the west, and at the same time, gave us a new mission."
"Establish the Shenshan Organization to protect the seal of the Ancestral God?" Jiang Qian said.
"Yes. The purpose of the existence of the Shenshan Organization is to use the understanding and awareness of the power of the Ancestral God to gather and restrain all humans who have been infected by the Ancestral God, and to study and give them methods to restrain this unconventional power."
The White Snake Mother smiled, although her eyes were slightly moist:
"So I said your father is a kind and wise man. He avoided the storm in this roundabout way and saved many people."
"Later, we all knew that the internal disaster started from the power struggle within the Zerg tribe. As a carrier of the blood of the contemporary patriarch, I also became the target of conspiracy. It was me... who almost implicated all my colleagues."
Jiang Qian listened quietly, and had a more three-dimensional understanding of the background of the initial sealing of the Ancestral God and the current situation at that time.
However, the story is not over yet.
"Later, not long after, your father took the initiative to resign from his superiors on the grounds of injury and illness, withdrew from the Predator Family, and resumed his identity as an ordinary person."
"Restore the identity of an ordinary person? Can this really be done?" Jiang Qian was surprised.
But the White Snake Mother gave an explanation afterwards:
"This is exactly where your father is so smart. He is thoughtful and thorough, and he is trusted by the patriarch of the Predator Family. In addition, his ID card is not a rare beast, which ultimately made this resignation a natural thing."
"After that, he would come to the sacred mountain from time to time to pay attention to the latest situation of the seal of the ancestor god. Not only your father, but also the Dragon God has become a frequent visitor to the sacred mountain since that battle. He and your father have a mutual understanding, especially after your father retired from the army, the two became close friends. Even on the journey to the outer sea god war, the two of them went together and died for all living beings."
"I often think that if there had not been the god war twelve years ago, the ancestor god would not have had the opportunity to shake the seal, and you would not have lost your father... Unfortunately, things are unpredictable, and we can grasp too little. The key is to do it with a clear conscience and do our best."
The White Snake Mother lowered her eyelids and put her thoughts for the old friend into her heart.
"So, the core reason for the loosening of the seal is the death of my father and the Dragon God?"
"Hmm..."
The White Snake Mother sighed:
"Before the expedition to the outer sea, they also left corresponding preparations."
"In order to avoid the loss of contact between the four snake beasts after the death in battle, the Dragon God left four invitations to conclude a contract. The super-species players who obtained the identity card through this invitation can accurately connect with the four snake beasts. In this way, the four snake beasts can be recovered through manpower to stabilize the power of the seal of the sacred mountain."
"And your father used the high-level "entanglement" concept power to collect all the causal mirror images that resonate with the power of the ancestor god, establish rules, and seal them together in the sacred mountain, waiting for the need to completely eliminate the ancestor god's "legacy" in this world."
At this point, the White Snake Mother sighed again.
Jiang Qian understood her helplessness.
Even the most rigorous plan will inevitably have loopholes in the process of actual implementation.
At the same time, he quickly identified another more critical information:
Thanks to his father, the White Snake Mother has a way to send all of them to the west!
