Counting fingers on his head is a form of self-assurance.
In this static time-space where fantasy has become reality, Tian Anping couldn't completely trust what he saw or heard. This was the only way he could confirm his thoughts hadn't been interfered with.
And his question indeed touched upon the core of this game.
Miao Ru Tai seemed to smile faintly: "Perhaps you won't want to know their names."
"They? So there's more than one person." Tian Anping was thinking very seriously, so his speaking speed wasn't fast: "Of course, their names aren't the most important thing. What I want to know is — how did you and people from outside, like Huang Wei Zhen, join hands to deal with the Nameless One? How were you able to hide your intention to deal with the Nameless One?"
"Perhaps it was a tacit understanding!" Miao Ru Tai said with a smile.
"Tacit understanding!" Tian Anping nodded: "That is indeed a method. The people you chose to join hands with must be very smart, or very perceptive, or have a deep obsession with killing the Nameless One — I think Huaiguo Gong, Zuo Xiao, should be among them. Or possibly Jiang Wang too?"
"You are truly very smart!" Miao Ru Tai's words were filled with praise.
Things had developed to this point, and it seemed to become very simple.
It was nothing more than a game of seeking the Nameless One in a secret room.
Among these people of various forms and identities, find the Nameless One, kill the Nameless One, and thereby complete the ending of this story.
"Then now I want to ask —" Tian Anping turned his head, looking at Qu Shoufu standing by the window: "Why did you close the window just now?"
Following Tian Anping's question, the gazes within the guest room instantly gathered on Qu Shoufu.
These complex and scrutinizing gazes carried significant weight.
Qu Shoufu's unremarkable face slowly lifted a little.
He looked at Miao Ru Tai, then at Tian Anping again, revealing a playful look in his eyes.
"Tian Anping, perhaps you are too smart!" Miao Ru Tai smiled and retreated half a step.
And Qu Shoufu stepped forward half a step.
Amidst the sudden sound of rain hitting the window, he said: "I am Jiang Wang."
Rumble!
There was a thunderclap outside the window, making this name seem to crash into the room.
He was certainly not at ease. No one could be entirely confident in killing a transcendent being.
But he was calm, resolute, and himself.
"If anyone wants to claim to be Jiang Wang, then step forward and face me."
He gazed at the people of various forms in this guest room.
Behind every different face, there might be complex entanglements. The heavenly mechanism was confused, and transcendent lines were even more interwoven.
He said: "I know the Nameless One has the ability to cognize everything without being cognized."
"It might have already understood everything that has happened to me."
"So It can completely claim to be Jiang Wang and label me as Nameless."
"The Star Witch used this game involving transcendent beings to trap the Nameless One. But at the same time, the Star Witch itself cannot see clearly the universe within this trap. Because the karma of the predecessor Huang Wei Zhen, the Nameless One, and the originally existing transcendent karma in this guest room are three transcendent karmas colliding, which is truly complex. I expect that in this world, no one can calculate it."
Not only can no one calculate it?
Even the divination users of this era, wanting to touch this trap, even peek a little bit, require heaven-reaching ability to do so.
When Ao Shu Yi died, the sun and moon declined, and the heavenly mechanism was confused for forty-nine days. In this game, three transcendent beings are on the same stage, each with their own pursuits, which is far more complex than that time.
"You have just explained this game clearly, including its origin and rules, but there is still one point you haven't stated —"
Jiang Wang looked at Miao Ru Tai: "You didn't say the consequences of this game failing. If we don't find the Nameless One, or if we find the wrong person today and kill someone wrongly. The Nameless One will then become the one we killed wrongly, jump out of this game, return to the present world, and from now on, the human world will be without It, forever escaping."
Miao Ru Tai sighed: "If this game fails, everything done today will naturally be like drawing water with a bamboo basket, empty."
There was an extremely deep weariness in his voice, but it was immediately swept away, and he lifted his eyes: "I will not let that kind of ending happen."
Jiang Wang had only spread out his five fingers, hearing and seeing lines rapidly weaving under his palm. Amidst the brilliant light of ten thousand turns, a radiant white sword was woven.
He just grasped this sword with Qu Shoufu's body, then shouted: "Nameless One! Now call out your name!"
"You know the rules of this game deeply, and I know them deeply too!"
"There are not many opportunities left for you — you can choose to step out and discuss the truth with me. You can nail me as false, kill me, and use Jiang Wang as your name!"
"Believe me, this is your best opportunity. In this guest room, there is no identity more suitable for you than 'Jiang Wang'."
He spoke to this point and walked forward again. He seemed to never know fear: "So, esteemed Nameless One, why not step out and take a gamble."
He stood in the center of Guan Lan Tian Zi San, driving the body of a wandering pulse realm being. His voice was like the rain in this cold spring: "See if I can once again break your cognition, just like those times that have happened before!"
In the past two years of fighting between the Nameless One and Huang Wei Zhen, It was almost repeatedly shocked out of Its hidden state by Jiang Wang. Presumably, this would leave a profound impression.
Jiang Wang didn't know how to exhaust the Nameless One's choices.
But he knew how to help the Nameless One reduce one choice.
The vast Tian Zi San number room was temporarily silent.
Everyone was looking at Qu Shoufu, and just looking — any unnecessary action could cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Interestingly, after Jiang Wang exposed his identity, the atmosphere in the guest room, which had been turbulent and treacherous, actually changed because of it.
The whole room seemed to brighten.
Everyone wasn't really looking around much, and Tian Anping didn't ask questions either.
Xu San also calmed down a lot.
"Very good, Jiang Wang confirms his name!" Miao Ru Tai's voice held some delight: "Now neither the old man nor Jiang Wang is claiming a name, the Nameless One's choices are few."
"Speaking of which... why are you still always looking at me." Jiang Wang turned his head, looking at Tian Anping by the door: "After I reported my name."
Tian Anping grinned and laughed: "I am full of curiosity about you."
This dialogue seemed familiar once.
Jiang Wang didn't quite understand, Tian Anping was actually willing to recall it. He gazed into Tian Anping's eyes: "You now seem to not care about life or death again."
Tian Anping lifted both hands and lightly shook the broken chain.
"I know I am not me." He said.
"No." Jiang Nanpeng, who had always been lying in the blood-colored coffin, sat up this time. He lifted an arm, pressed it against the edge of the coffin, casually turned his head, and spoke with indescribable charm.
"You are indeed Tian Anping." Jiang Nanpeng emphasized.
Tian Anping looked at him quietly, as if confirming this person's identity and also confirming the truth of this sentence: "Alright! I mean, I shouldn't be the Tian Anping from the normal time-space order."
"Here, time-space is static, and Huang Wei Zhen's fantasy has become reality? I am a creation, right?" He was unusually calm: "A creation very much like Tian Anping, or even one that indeed has a part of Tian Anping's essence."
Jiang Nanpeng, sitting in the blood coffin, was like sitting amidst picturesque beautiful mountains. His intention was extremely transcendent, and he said lightly: "That is one way to understand it."
Tian Anping seemed to have received some permission. His eyes lifted higher, and finally, beneath that usual calmness, a trace of excitement, even madness, surged out: "Since that's the case, then I want to experiment with a possibility —"
Jiang Wang looked at him quietly, ready to give him a swift end at any time.
And he suddenly raised his head! Both eyes instantly filled with white blood threads, and in a flash, they vanished into the deep empty space.
This guest room was clearly drawn as a secret room, clearly distant from the sea waves — it seemed to only be separated by a window and a rain curtain, but in reality, the time-space was completely different.
But at that moment, there was suddenly a splashing sound.
Listening carefully, it wasn't the sea, it seemed to be the flow of time!
Tian Anping was of course not capable of shaking the tacit cooperation between Zhuge Yi Xian and Huang Wei Zhen, moving this trap for the Nameless One.
He was... impacting Heaven-Human!
He was actually trying to impact the Heaven-Human state in this static time-space!
This was something Jiang Wang hadn't expected.
Because in this game, a non-descender like Tian Anping, born from fantasy, was fundamentally not the protagonist.
But he had a protagonist-like self, doing what conformed to Tian Anping's true thoughts and decisions.
How meticulous the Star Witch's insight was, and how fearsome Huang Wei Zhen's power was!
Although it was said that the Heaven-Human state chased Jiang Wang, he also struggled in a hundred ways against the Heaven-Human state, escaping several times.
But this didn't mean that the Heaven-Human state was not valuable.
It's not like just anyone can come along and prove it.
To become a Heaven-Human state, one needs to satisfy three difficult conditions —
First, in cultivation, one must truly reach the absolute peak, and Cave True absolute peak is just the threshold.
Second, in talent, King Zhao's description is, "world-shaking talent".
Third, in merit, one must truly have merit for heaven and earth.
Tian Anping satisfied the first two, only the third one. Jiang Wang really didn't think Tian Anping had any great merit beneficial to heaven and earth.
It was already good if he didn't create great evil.
This was a deficiency in what was acquired, making the path difficult to reach.
More importantly... the heavenly way was now turbulent with deep waves.
The ape that "Bull Heaven" knew the origin of only sighed. Jiang Wang, this Heaven-Human of thirteen proofs, was unable to roam within it. How could Tian Anping possibly dive into the way?
Jiang Wang knew these things.
Tian Anping also knew them.
This was a doomed attempt at proving, but Tian Anping... did not hesitate to seek a peek with death.
The Tian Anping in the normal time-space order might also have moments of being an ant whose five organs were tormented by curiosity. Wanting to impact the Heaven-Human state regardless of everything, to go to the place Jiang Wang once walked, and take a look at the scenery Jiang Wang appreciated.
But that Tian Anping was, after all, still a "useful body", after all, still had more questions to ask.
The Tian Anping in Guan Lan Tian Zi San right now, however, had already self-proven not to be true, hence this one leap —
The quietness after the leap.
The splashing sound of time flowing only happened for an instant.
People only saw Tian Anping's eyes roll back, and then he stood fixed there, motionless. His body suddenly became a stone sculpture, silent in history.
He just stood there at the door, becoming a human-shaped ornament in this guest room.
"Ah, I still thought he wanted to fight with you. He's just gone like that?"
Xu San unconsciously walked... back and forth beside Jiang Wang.
This was already a tight "attachment to his horse's tail".
The pride of a heavenly proud person of course existed. Jing Guo and Zhen River True Monarch weren't exactly close either.
If it were an emperor with a slightly worse temper or a slightly narrower mind, it could be said that he had many debts to collect.
But look at this guest room, it's full of demons and ghosts in a big chaotic fight. Only Jiang Wang is truly reliable and can give him a little sense of security.
It was right for him, Xu San, to associate with Li Yi. Li Yi was a colleague of Jiang Wang. Then his following Jiang Wang was also very much in order.
Seeing Jiang Wang look over, he quietly transmitted his voice again: "Cabinet Elder Jiang! Can you contact my Senior Brother Tai Yu? His sword is fast, and the helper is extremely fast."
Unlike Tian Anping, he didn't believe that he wasn't the real Xu San.
He wasn't three or two years old anymore, believing whatever others said.
Logically, among so many people in this guest room, only Jiang Wang's words could be believed — of course, what Jiang Wang said might not necessarily be correct. Be bold and follow, but verify carefully!
Jiang Wang didn't speak.
If he could contact Li Yi, why wouldn't he directly contact the Da Qi emperor?
"Since that's the case —" Yin Guan, who was practically suspended in the air above the altar, suddenly chuckled lightly at this moment: "I also have something I want to try."
Xu San vigilantly stood behind Jiang Wang.
And Yin Guan's green eyes were bright. He suddenly opened his mouth: "Ji Feng Zhou!"
Xu San suddenly shivered, then became greatly angry.
Yin Guan had already lifted his hand, his four fingers staggered into steps, his thumb against the space between his index and middle fingers. He then raised it to the heavens and swore: "With the title of the First in the Curse Way, I give this oath — As long as Chu Jiang King is not free, Ji Feng Zhou will vomit blood and overflow three liters every day!"
He actually directly cursed the Da Jing emperor, Ji Feng Zhou!
Before Xu San could react, Yin Guan exploded into a cluster of green mist.
The whole process was unusually decisive.
Just like blowing a bubble, the bubble burst.
Whether in this static time-space or in the present world with a normal time-space order, his ending for cursing Ji Feng Zhou by name like this was only this one.
Jiang Wang's expression was blank. He just quietly watched this cluster of green mist scatter. Suddenly, a wisp of curse power, like smoke, condensed in the air.
From beginning to end, Yin Guan had not been very familiar with Jiang Wang.
Except for the initial curious glance at the present world's first heavenly proud person, there was no further communication, not even a transmitted voice like Xu San's.
But he already knew who the enemy Jiang Wang wanted to deal with was.
The title "First Ancestor of the Curse Way", although not yet very stable... after all, it hadn't reached the absolute peak, making it difficult to be called an ancestor.
But for him, it was just a matter of time. Apart from him, no one else could bear it.
As the true pioneer of the Curse Way, and an existence that was constantly expanding the boundaries of the Curse Way, Yin Guan was also a person whose name was confirmed by history.
His curse on Ji Feng Zhou was reasonable. But this curse could not originally succeed.
It was a clear resentment and a hidden curse.
The First Ancestor of the Curse Way, specifically cursing the Da Jing emperor Ji Feng Zhou.
So, the sworn name was actually a challenge to the Nameless One!
This wisp of green smoke floated ethereal, moving slowly in the air, seeking that existence hidden by name, hiding from the world, covering its head and tail.
Jiang Wang held his sword in his hand, concentrating on this wisp of green smoke. Any power that wanted to interfere with it would be met with his unwavering sword.
But this wisp of green smoke was only seen slowly floating down, suddenly twisting and clearing into emptiness —
Unable to pursue the name!
This was of course regrettable, but given the gap in position between Yin Guan and the Nameless One, this result was not unexpected.
"No matter what —" Miao Ru Tai broke the silence: "Now four people have already confirmed their names. The range where the Nameless One is hidden has greatly shrunk."
In some sense, Tian Anping choosing to impact the Heaven-Human state at this time could also be considered a response to Jiang Wang.
His attempt to impact the Heaven-Human state failed, and he fell silent in time, also completing "confirming his name".
Although the reason was different, the result was the same.
Tian Anping and Yin Guan both had a strong killing intent towards each other.
But looking at the current choices, neither of them considered hunting and killing the other as the most important thing.
"Please continue." Miao Ru Tai's gaze scanned the remaining few people: "Please confirm your names yourselves. If you cannot do so, the old man will have to view it as the Nameless One."
The further it got, the more tense his state became, as a fight could erupt at any moment.
The atmosphere throughout the guest room also became more and more tense, with a dark surge of killing intent.
Jiang Nanpeng sat in the blood coffin, smiling in an unclear way: "Since you all think this is a method..."
He raised his head: "I am Huang Wei Zhen."
He looked forward, not specifically at anyone: "I know you are also cognizing me. Perhaps... let me see your fantasy become reality?"
No one spoke.
"Huang Wei Zhen confirms his name!" Miao Ru Tai announced loudly.
"Zuo Xiao." Chen Kai Xu, standing beside the blood coffin, only lightly spoke this name.
He didn't need to introduce himself further.
After a silence, Miao Ru Tai announced again: "Zuo Xiao confirms his name!"
The name quota shrunk once again.
Although Xu San had always been half-believing, half-doubting, by this time, he still cleared his throat: "I am —"
"No need." Miao Ru Tai said.
Xu San was surprised: "Huh?"
Miao Ru Tai was still only looking at Qu Shoufu, Chen Kai Xu, and Jiang Nanpeng: "Jiang Wang, Huaiguo Gong... Wei Zhen."
The Da Chu Star Witch was an old acquaintance of Huang Wei Zhen, and also Its predecessor. Calling him 'Wei Zhen' now was indeed a bit presumptuous, but it was also an intentional closeness.
The stars had already fallen wild, and the country relied on flowing winds.
"Since the several of us have already confirmed our names, there is no need to let the remaining people step out and prove themselves."
His eyes were deep with wisdom: "As time progresses, the Nameless One's cognition of this room will gradually deepen, and it is not impossible to break the barrier. We'd best not waste time. Secondly, for these several nameless people, no matter which name the Nameless One seizes, it will be difficult for us to distinguish, and they have no ability to prove themselves."
"I deliberately waited until now, letting It think there was still opportunity, still time, still preparation to be made."
"But it should be a clear setup."
He just stood there, slowly saying: "As long as we kill off all the remaining people, it will be fine. The Nameless One is necessarily among them!"
