Super Species Player

Jiang Qian knew that the questions he raised in the current scenario were essentially "information exchange."

This sudden opportunity to get closer to the truth made him more excited than ever. He expected that the head of the Predator family would not be willing to tell lies and tarnish his own feathers.

But the other party's long silence made Jiang Qian calm down again.

Then, he heard an answer:

"I'm sorry about your brother."

Along with Venerable White Tiger's groaning voice, Jiang Qian frowned slightly: This is simply not an answer!

"So, is he dead?"

"..."

Jiang Qian did not give up this opportunity and continued to ask: "Is Jiang Yang the license holder?"

Still no answer.

There was continuous silence on the other side of the phone.

However, Jiang Qian has already got his answer: his elder brother Jiang Yang, who has been missing for many years, is not only alive, but also a license holder with a high probability!

Time passed by without leaving a trace.

Jiang Qian held the phone tightly and continued: "What about my father's death?"

This time, the White Tiger Supreme no longer remained silent, but directly gave the answer: "Your father fell in the war between gods."

"God's war... another God's war..."

Jiang Qian's tone was slightly sarcastic.

This answer was not the first time he heard it. In the illusion of the sacred mountain, the Holy Mother of the White Snake also gave him a similar answer.

According to the recollections of Our Lady of the White Snake: after his father decided to participate in the Divine War and left the Holy Mountain with the Dragon God, he stayed briefly in the country. This time coincides with the time of the flash flood accident in Jiang Qian's memory.

But Our Lady of the White Snake still firmly believed that his father fell in the divine war. One of the reasons was: "At that time, no force in the country dared to be an opponent of those two people, let alone take their lives quietly."

Indeed, the identity and strength of the leader of the Ashes Organization, Long Shen Yun Zhongshuo, and the former commander of the official special forces, Tuxue Chengmei, are enough to deter the vast majority of those who would deliberately conspire against them.

Another important reason is that Our Lady of the White Snake received news from within the official body, confirming the fact that Tuxue Chengmei died in the War of Gods.

Now, Venerable White Tiger has admitted this himself.

"But this is very different from what I remember."

After a brief silence, Jiang Qian began to describe some of the memories he had retrieved from the "Whispers of the Inner Demon" copy about the accident in which his father died:

"When I was 8 years old, that is, when the so-called War of Gods took place, my father took our family on a trip south. During that trip, my father and I were in danger in a sudden flash flood. Later, I was fortunate enough to be rescued, and my father But he lost his life... Since then, my life has changed dramatically."

Jiang Qian described the situation in a calm tone, but it still sounded like a child who had lost a loved one expressing his sentimentality about the impermanence of the world. Even though most of what he stated are facts that have been verified by the authorities.

"What do you want to know?" White Tiger Supreme hit the nail on the head.

The officially verified facts also include his mental diagnosis report: Jiang Qian is not an ordinary son who has lost his father. His existing emotions no longer include the category of "sadness."

So what he needs is never comfort, but more practical content.

"God War!"

Jiang Qian said without hesitation:

"Although this is not the first time I have heard rumors about the War of Gods, I still want to hear the most authoritative interpretation from you - I want to know what happened before and after the War of Gods, what happened to me that year, and what happened to the War of Gods. Does it matter?"

"Um……"

There was a deep groan from the other side of the phone.

Venerable White Tiger seemed to be meditating.

Jiang Qian felt a strong feeling in his heart. What he was going to hear was not only related to the success or failure of today's negotiations, but also might be related to his decision on where to go in the future!

After a while, the steady voice began to speak:

"I remember that within the official government, discussions related to the 'War of Gods' are explicitly prohibited. Of course, in addition to avoiding bias in the public perspective, there is another important reason: the term 'War of Gods' is actually not rigorous."

Jiang Qian's eyes moved slightly: The term "God of War" is not necessarily rigorous?

This was an angle he had never considered before, so he was even more focused.

Venerable White Tiger continued:

"Since you have heard of the 'God War', you should have a basic understanding. It is a large-scale battle mainly participated and led by clergy license holders."

"good."

Jiang Qian had no objection to this point. This was the basic impression he formed when he first listened to Lu Fanni's talk about the war between gods.

"Well, I think so. Since it is called 'God War', it first means a battle; since it represents a battle, it naturally involves both sides of the war. This should be undisputed. But The question arises here: Who are the two warring parties?”

The question was suddenly thrown back to Jiang Qian, which caught Jiang Qian off guard.

According to his knowledge, it is certain that the warring party is the guard legion headed by the six-state clergy card holder. So, what about the other side?

Shouldn't you know this kind of key information better than me? Jiang Qian remained silent, but his mind couldn't help but spin:

In the description of the "God War" he heard from Sister Lu, the "other side" of the war was obviously leaning towards some kind of supernatural phenomenon: a huge mysterious vortex formed on the sea, and indescribable things emerged from the vortex. , as the ocean currents spread to the land, causing the death of a large number of ordinary people... Before things became irreversible, the high-ranking super species army called by lawful officials intercepted the disaster.

However, now, Venerable White Tiger, as a high-ranking official of the Lawful Law and the head of the Predator clan, is hinting to him that even the high-ranking officials did not understand the essence and cause of the "disaster" that year?

These thoughts only stayed in my mind for a moment.

Jiang Qian thought of a possibility, a possibility that not even Venerable White Tiger could know all the information about the battle between gods.

"That's the problem."

Venerable White Tiger sighed:

"On the eve of the God War, all lawful card holders who were sent to investigate maritime accidents died at sea without exception. We know nothing about the disaster, but the disaster is approaching our land every moment! Once an unknown disaster lands, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

"In desperation, all the lawful families united, and even called on a large number of capable people from non-lawful organizations to form an unprecedented scale legion, led by the top masters of the major families to go to sea to intercept... What follows? We all know the matter, the disaster has stopped, the gods have fallen, and everything has returned to peace."

"However, for a long time after that divine war ended, we were unable to determine what the mysterious and unknown 'other side' was that threatened everyone at the beginning."

Venerable White Tiger has finished speaking. But obviously, it's not complete.

"This is ridiculous." Jiang Qian commented unceremoniously, "Even survivors who have experienced the divine war cannot describe the enemy's situation?"

"Unfortunately, there are no survivors in the God War!"

Venerable White Tiger revealed the mystery in one sentence:

"Only those who have actually entered the battlefield will know what exactly happened at that time and who the enemy was. Unfortunately, no one who entered the battlefield survived. All those who survived the divine war essentially did so because they had never set foot on the battlefield. Enter the battlefield.”

? !

The "survivors" in the war between gods have not actually entered the battlefield... Jiang Qian immediately thought of one person: Dionysus!

Before being taken away by the crazy python old woman, he had gone to see Dionysus with Lu Fanni, and heard the other party mention the story of "The Dragon God Boils the Sea"... Dionysus was one of the "survivors" in the war between gods. First, if what Venerable White Tiger said is true, then in fact, the God of Dionysus did not actually participate in the war between gods?

"No one survived that divine war, and all those who actually participated in the divine war lost contact."

Venerable White Tiger emphasized again and answered Jiang Qian's question from another angle:

"But... those who did not fight before the battle did bring back some valuable information. At least, it provides us with a basis for exploring the cause of the 'disaster'."

Venerable White Tiger groaned and continued:

"I won't go into details about the process. The cause of the disaster that year was jointly investigated and studied by lawful officials from many countries. It was concluded that the source of the unusual maritime disaster lay in the imbalance of the world's energy system."

An... imbalance in the world's energy system?

Jiang Qian's eyes focused.

Although he was unable to meet Venerable White Tiger, there was no doubt that what he heard now was top-secret information.

Therefore, he held his breath and concentrated to prevent himself from missing any key point.

"Yes, it may sound too abstract, but such a conclusion is by no means a hot-tempered conjecture. It is precisely an inference drawn from a large number of solid research statistics."

In the following statement, Jiang Qian heard several key pieces of information:

First, on the eve of the unusual maritime disaster that year, "unconventional" events were occurring at a high frequency around the world, with the highest concentration in countries near the disaster site;

Second, after a large number of high-level super-species players died fighting for God, "unconventional" incidents in various countries and regions dropped sharply, and the "calm" of the past returned to the world;

Third, some investigative departments in other countries believe that the advent of super-species power is essentially a "destruction" of the balance of the current world energy system. The existence of super-species is the source of disaster!

After hearing these three key pieces of information, Jiang Qian realized how conservative the conclusion he initially heard was.

The argument that "unconventional" forces destroy the balance and cause disasters is already unique, but it is somewhat biased to classify super species players into the "unconventional" category...

The terrible thing is that this "biased argument" sounds quite reasonable!

But regarding this third theoretical information, it actually only has an impact on the lawful camp of a few countries.

This is like industrial pollution to the ecological environment. Although everyone knows that this is bad, who is willing to take the lead in trying to contribute to the harmony of the global ecological environment at the expense of restricting the development of their own country?

The results can be imagined.

The world after the Divine War has not made any substantial changes.

As long as the fire has not reached their doorstep, no one is willing to take the lead in making substantive changes.

"Until the past two years, the accelerating and frequent 'unconventional events' around the world have once again entered the vision of lawful officials in various countries. This is very similar to the signs before the unusual maritime disaster twelve years ago."

"Copies that are out of control and out of contact, abnormal surges of unconventional forces, and mutation accidents that occur more frequently than before..."

Venerable White Tiger stopped talking at this point.

This incident was no longer limited to Jiang Qian's doubts about his father's death or even his own misfortune. It opened up a global perspective and led Jiang Qian to look at the divine war from a broader perspective.

And in the few words of Venerable White Tiger, there seemed to be a subtle hint to him-

"Abnormal disasters will happen again."

Jiang Qian said the other party's subtext! He received the hint, but he was not sure how to respond.

"Yes, it will happen again! And once it happens, it will probably be worse than the last crisis." Venerable White Tiger's tone was solemn and he sighed deeply!

This "negotiation" has lost control so far, just like the out-of-control world described by Venerable White Tiger...

"Unconventional forces lead to an imbalance in the world's power system, and abnormal disasters are induced by imbalance... Will the official ten clans take action for this unfalsifiable inference?" Jiang Qian said.

"Even if it is an inference, it has been agreed upon by many parties. The important thing is that once the inference is established, the consequences it will cause will be unbearable for everyone."

At this point, Venerable White Tiger asked Jiang Qian with a smile:

"If you were to make the decision, would you be willing to take this risk?"

"..."

At that moment, what flashed through Jiang Qian's mind was not how the world would collapse and be destroyed in the imbalance, but just a few familiar faces.

With the appearance of these faces, he had already come up with his own answer. He even came up with the answer to why his father had joined the war of no return.

People will consider the risks and benefits of their actions.

But in this case, as a man of the Jiang family, he just wants to ensure that the people he cares about are safe and sound. If anyone dares to hinder him from achieving this simple goal, then he will have to crush them by all means.

It's not that most people don't understand this account, but when the sky falls, it's not their turn to support it.

It's just not their place.

The continued silence made the huge suite seem even more empty and lonely.

Perhaps to avoid the conversation between the two from being deadlocked, Venerable White Tiger ended this slightly heavy topic with Jiang Qian's initial question:

"This is all you want to know about the 'God War' back then. Your father did participate in the process of the God War, there is no doubt about that. As for the memory of your father dying in the flood you mentioned, I think that may just be a way of farewell that ordinary people can understand."

"All the patriots who participated in the God War at the time were very clear about the seriousness of the situation and prepared to die for it. Of course, this is just my experience. If you care about it, you might as well review the instructions your father left before leaving, and maybe you will have the answer."

Farewell, instructions...

Jiang Qian gradually withdrew his reverie.

The reminder of Venerable White Tiger made him quickly recall his father's instructions before his "death":

"A Qian... don't look back! Protect your mother..."

... That's all.

The only words left between them that he could recall were just that.

The face of his mother Wen Han appeared in front of Jiang Qian.

I can't remember how long it has been since I last saw my only remaining relative. I only know that she is living abroad and squandering her life for her empty identity as an artist.

Maybe I should seize the opportunity to fulfill my obligation to support her... Jiang Qian sighed in his heart, and said solemnly to the White Tiger Venerable on the other end of the phone:

"Thank you for telling me this."

I quickly sorted out my thoughts and got to the topic of today's negotiations:

"Let's get back to the topic. During the fight with the Shenshan Organization this time, I learned something related to the "unconventional" incident you just mentioned."

Since the other party has given enough sincerity, Jiang Qian doesn't mind returning the favor.

He briefly told the White Tiger Venerable the truth about the rebellion of the Black Chrysanthemum Society spies in the Shenshan incident, as well as the core of this rebellion - the unconventional "power of the ancestral god".

At the same time, the origins of the Shenshan Organization and the role played by his father Jiang Xuesong in it were also explained truthfully.

Of course, even if he didn't say these, the task force would come to a conclusion after the trial of Centipede, so there was no problem of over-explaining. Besides, his father's relationship with Snow Plum and Shenshan was the stepping stone for him to get this negotiation opportunity.

The only thing Jiang Qian reserved was the details of the Shenshan organization entrusted to him by the White Snake Mother. The resources and organizational secrets involved, Jiang Qian had never thought of handing them over in vain.

Due to the hasty handover, he had not had time to count all the "family assets" of the White Snake Mother.

The White Snake Mother had been in the paradise for many years and must have accumulated valuable treasures. At the beginning, Zhang Bizi brought an ant nest prop to make the Jinping branch mobilize so many people to make such a big scene. If he knew that he was now carrying the entire wealth of the Mother, I wonder what the White Tiger Venerable on the other side of the phone would think...

In short, Jiang Qian's speech was logical and well-organized; especially when discussing sensitive issues within the official, he was cautious in his words and left no handle.

After speaking, he stopped at the right time and waited patiently for questioning.

Jiang Qian was well prepared for today's negotiation. He had already considered all the contents in advance and thought that they would be able to make sense.

But the reaction of the White Tiger Venerable still made him stunned:

"I already knew what you said."

!

Jiang Qian hesitated to speak.

His first reaction was surprise, and his second reaction was confusion——

What does Venerable White Tiger know and how much does he know? Is it the ins and outs of the establishment of the Shenshan Organization, or the espionage conspiracy of the Black Ju Society? Why would he know?

These questions only lingered in Jiang Qian's mind.

He remained silent until the other party told him the reason:

"Well, because the person who authorized Cedar to do these things is me."
