My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 548 - 43: Chen Lusi Leaves the Environment

Ji Xin looked at the sand beneath his feet: "And one day, if someone thinks that the beach should not have sand, but instead should be paved with pebbles, and actually does so, while the god of the Source Canon responsible for the beach’s sand happens to be in an active state, they might erode their followers, urging them to replace the pebbles back to sand."

Others: "..."

"Of course, reality isn’t that simple. This is just an example."

Ji Xin ignored the gazes of those around him, continuing to look at Chen Lusi: "But what is certain is that their methods are mostly gentle, especially the Kunlun Pantheon within the country, so even if one is eroded, it’s likely there won’t be any lasting harm."

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, softly asking: "...My situation isn’t just as simple as replacing pebbles with sand, or merely an oracle, is it?"

After all, it had developed to the point where they wanted to kill him.

"Indeed."

Ji Xin watched Chen Lusi for quite a while before saying, "Such severe erosion, even directly prompting other empowerers to kill you, is actually a first domestically... Most importantly, the influence comes from a god within the Kunlun Pantheon, seemingly of a not low tier. It doesn’t seem to be as simple as not matching their Source Canon, but more like treating a mortal enemy."

Hearing this, Chen Lusi was silent again for a while, then asked: "...Is it because of my Authority Ability?"

"It’s unclear yet."

Ji Xin glanced at Xia Yue, then shook his head.

Chen Lusi turned around and looked at Xia Yue.

Xia Yue smoothed his tousled hair and said: "I have some guesses, but I’m not sure, unless I go to Yellow Springs again to verify... but in the short term, I can’t leave, after all, Mount Tai and Luo Mountain have already gone, and for the time being, you’ll just have to be an ordinary person."

Chen Lusi did not rush to speak, waiting patiently for the continuation.

The others also turned their gaze to Xia Yue.

"Heresy."

Xia Yue didn’t continue with suspense, but lowered his hand, saying: "The term, both in its original meaning and its extended meaning later, isn’t considered good, especially when considering Chai Pool under the god’s erosion, labeling you as an usurping heretic...

Obviously, the Source Canon of your current Authority Ability most definitely conflicts with the entire Kunlun Pantheon, and it’s not a simple conflict... It’s rare, but not unheard of, like Ji Xin here."

Xia Yue pointed to Ji Xin who was sitting in a wheelchair: "Her Authority Ability ’Female Youth’, its Source Canon conflicts with the entire National Sacrificial System, and as a result, she naturally resents empowerers with National Sacrificial System Authority Abilities. If they meet, it could even lead to a life-and-death battle.

Conversely, empowerers with National Sacrificial System Authority Abilities naturally resent Ji Xin as well, unrelated to personal likes or dislikes, purely because their Authority Ability Source Canons conflict. Your situation is similar, except for a minor difference, that is, the conflict isn’t with a specific empowerer, but with... the entire Kunlun Pantheon."

Chen Lusi: "..."

"I suspect that the Source Canon corresponding to your Authority Ability should define the entire Kunlun Pantheon as an Evil God, even directly threatening them... After all, every entity has two sides, and even a feudal dynasty has a Female Youth openly opposing the National Sacrificial System.

And for the Kunlun Pantheon, it’s not surprising to have a Source Canon that threatens their orthodox god status, which also explains why they call you a heretic. But honestly, these Source Canons, while not necessarily famous, should at least be understood on the Kunlun side, yet Luo Mountain hasn’t mentioned it at all. Based on his skeptical nature regardless, this isn’t normal. There are still many doubts, so whether the truth is really this remains uncertain."

As for another guess, it’s even bolder... Your Authority Ability that can mimic others’, is called Illusion Soul, right?"

Xia Yue suddenly looked at Chen Lusi, somewhat awkwardly inquiring.

Chen Lusi nodded.

"Those Authority Abilities you’ve successfully mimicked, let’s not mention domestic ones first."

Xia Yue suddenly pointed to Igri Saba in the distance, continuing: "They possess Authority Abilities of completely different systems. When you mimic their Authority Abilities, what exactly is happening behind the scenes? Have you ever considered? Their Authority Ability ultimately traces back to a Source Canon that surely comes from within the Church, but you are not a believer.

Your mimicry of domestic authority can at least be explained by the fact that you are a native as well, but what about them?"

Upon reaching this point.

Xia Yue paused for a moment, then jokingly said: "So could it be that while mimicking their Authority Abilities, you’re also creating a corresponding new deity above Kunlun?"

"..."

"..."

With a joking tone, Xia Yue directly uttered something jaw-droppingly surprising.

And besides Xia Yue, everyone else looked at Chen Lusi in astonishment upon hearing this.

"After all, Authority Abilities, especially powerful ones, surely have traceable origins."

Xia Yue continued: "Most of the Authority Abilities present generally correspond to an activated legend, and behind these activated legends, there is certainly a corresponding origin.

Whether it be folklore or myth, they all have something corresponding, but you’re mimicking foreign authorities, particularly those of Roman Catholic empowerers... Their corresponding legends are too distant. I don’t think you can draw upon power from across the seas."

"Damn..."

Tang Language widened her beautiful eyes at Chen Lusi, murmuring: "If that’s really the case, then even slashing you just now wouldn’t have been excessive, creating a corresponding new deity above Kunlun while mimicking others’ Authority Abilities... Who exactly would the Queen Mother of the West be then? It’s a wonder they didn’t activate and strike you down outright."

The expressions of the others also became somewhat peculiar.

"..."

Chen Lusi glanced at Tang Language, silent and without words.

On the other side.

Xia Yue also couldn’t help but glance at the eloquent Tang Language, then shook his head: "Tang Language, you’re still as foolish as ever... Didn’t you hear me say it was just speculation?"

Tang Language immediately glared at Xia Yue: "Who are you calling a fool!"

Xia Yue didn’t reply to him; instead, he patted Chen Lusi on the shoulder, interrupting his deep thoughts, then laughingly said: "What I just said was all speculation; don’t listen to Tang Language’s nonsense. The specifics are still uncertain.

Leave the following matters to Ji Xin and me. Luo Mountain and Mount Tai should also be returning soon.

But one thing is certain: currently, you’re indeed not suitable to use Authority Abilities and Techniques... After all, now you’re being watched, and any actions related to the Extraordinary Domain seem to be seen as provocations.

The thunder earlier wasn’t too bad, but crossing swords with friends is a different matter.

You might think it’s no big deal, but for the other party, it’s actually quite painful.

So you might as well take this opportunity to rest well."

Hearing this, Chen Lusi glanced around at Xia Panqiu and others, thought for a moment, opened his mouth intending to say something, but then found there wasn’t much to say, and just nodded.

At this moment.

Ji Xin suddenly spoke: "We can’t just leave Chen Lusi alone; the limelight of the Celestial Punishment Weapon hasn’t passed yet, and he can’t use the Authority Ability and Techniques for now, so someone needs to stay with him.

Xia Yue, are you sure that empowerers whose Authority Abilities aren’t part of the mythical or ancient system, won’t be affected?"

"...Not sure."

Xia Yue hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Before things happen, no one dares to be sure."

Ji Xin immediately fell silent, then glanced at the large crowd, frowning: "So, there’s no one completely trustworthy?"

Upon hearing Ji Xin’s words, a few individuals, including Tang Language, hesitated a little but eventually didn’t speak.

Just as Xia Yue said.

Chen Lusi might not care.

But for them, taking action against Chen Lusi... truly doesn’t feel good.

And no one dares to guarantee that they can stay clear-headed all the time, as they aren’t facing any visible enemy.

Chen Lusi also followed Ji Xin’s gaze over, then thought for a moment, just as he was about to speak.

But before he could open his mouth.

The space in front of him suddenly twisted.

Then.

Countless embers, wrapped up, surged out rapidly from the void.

In the astonished gazes of everyone.

A graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of Chen Lusi.

Lin Ying floated down but staggered and fell directly into Chen Lusi’s arms.

"..."

Chen Lusi looked down at Lin Ying in his arms, dazed for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Ji Xin, softly saying: "Someone completely trustworthy... I think I’ve found one."
