Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Ying gradually woke up from her coma. Although her vision was a little blurry, she still saw a figure that was suspected to be the Eightfold Son of God.

At this time, the Son of God's voice came, which sounded a bit urgent and expectant.

"Come on, repeat after me, [three, two, one, one, two, three, ah ah————] faster."

Ying, somewhat confused, repeated what the Son of God had said.

"Yeah, not bad, not bad. It means there's nothing wrong with your brain at the moment. I finally got you back. It would be a shame if you got damaged."

The Son of God nodded with satisfaction.

"Ah! Ying, you finally woke up."

Paimon flew above Ying with some worry.

"Where is this place? Teppei..."

"Don't worry, he's fine."

Jiang Ming said to Ying while playing with the red cherry hydrangea in his hand.

"Fortunately, Paimon notified them in time. Xinhai and Goro quickly confiscated the evil eyes of the rebels and issued a serious military order to the entire army, prohibiting the use of the evil eyes. Teppei didn't use the evil eyes very often, so it's not a big deal. The evil eye factory has also been destroyed, so there won't be any problems in the short term."

"Hehe, it's all thanks to you, Jiang Ming."

Paimon scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, that's enough chit-chat."

Shen Zi interrupted them and turned to look at Ying.

"You...should have met her already, right?"

"You mean General Thunder?"

"I'm not talking about that doll. I mean... you should have seen [her], right?"

"In that special space?"

"Yes."

The Son of God nodded slightly.

"The real general of thunder and lightning, who meditates endlessly in the pure land of one mind in order to maintain his [self], is called [Shadow]."

"So the one Jiang Ming fought during the ceremony was just a puppet, and the real General Lei Dian was the one Ying met later? In other words, it wasn't just the battlefield that changed, but also the opponent?"

Paimon recalled what happened at the ceremony with some surprise.

"This is the eternity of that General Thunder. Before pursuing the eternity of this country, you must first experience eternity yourself."

Having said this, Shen Zi sighed.

"The spirit cannot escape wear and tear, so she placed her consciousness in the sword and used meditation to avoid all disturbances. That pure land is the same space as her inner world. Generally, only the self is allowed to exist, and the external complexities are left to the puppet who will only rush to eternity regardless of everything to deal with... This is the eternal way that Ying has explored."

"Wait a minute, since Jiang Ming can deal with that puppet and not be at a disadvantage, does that mean he can also defeat that shadow directly?"

Paimon came up with his own idea.

"Hey hey..."

Jiang Ming folded his hands over his chest and looked at Paimeng helplessly.

"No matter how powerful I am, it's still difficult for me to fight against two Thunder Generals alone, and..."

Jiang Ming looked at the Son of God.

"Ying's inner world, that pure land of oneness, seems to be the only one who can enter it, right?"

"Haha, you have a keen sense, little guy."

Shen Zi said with a smile.

"That's right. If we want to save Inazuma, her people, and her who are under the Eye Hunting Order, the most crucial point is that since the Pure Land of One Heart represents Ying's inner world, then if we defeat her there, we may be able to reverse General Raiden's will."

"In other words... instead of refuting her with words, or using the power of the resistance army to stage a coup, you're directly changing General Raiden's inner world?"

Paimon understood what the Son of God was thinking.

"You understand it quickly, little one. Anyway, this is the only way to get Inazuma back on track before it falls into eternal darkness."

"But why......"

Ying didn't understand why it was her.

"Haha, don't you realize how special you are? I said that the Pure Land of One Heart is generally a space that only allows the self to exist, and the fact that you can appear there means that...she is interested in you enough. Maybe even she has never seen an individual who seems so unstable to Eternity."

Shen Zi suddenly looked at Ying seriously.

"Since that eternal believer began to isolate himself, there has never been such a thing. No one even knows what is in that space. Therefore, your existence is not only an opportunity, but also a key... You can't let my expectations down, little guy."

Then the Son of God looked at Jiang Ming again.

"That matter is a problem for you."

"Well, leave it to me, but please ask Miss Shenzi to help me look after Kiana."

"Well, don't worry, I think she is eating fried skewers and fried tofu now."

"Eh? What's going on?"

Paimon was a little confused for a moment.

"Haha, while Ying was still unconscious, Jiang Ming and I discussed one thing, which was the rebellion of the Tenryo Bugyo or the Kujo family."

"Rebellion?!"

"That's right, but to prove this, we need evidence, so I'll leave this matter to Jiang Ming."

"So you don't do anything?"

"Haha, how could that be? I need to take you guys for special training next."

"Special training?"

"Anti-Thunder General Special Training, this is what I carefully prepared for you, come and follow it."

After saying that, he took Ying to the special training location, while Jiang Ming followed his memory and went to Tianling Fengxing Mansion to find the problematic memorial document.

Tianling Fengxing Mansion.

Through the fetal transformation, Jiang Ming successfully sneaked in here, but...

"Sigh~"

Looking at so many books in front of him, Jiang Ming didn't know which one was the official document.

"Just take them all."

So Jiang Ming collected all the books he saw, but as to how to identify them, he decided to find a professional.

Wood leak tea room.

"..."

Looking at the official document sent by Jiang Ming, Linghua couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Miss, these are..."

Thomas asked nervously.

"Well, this sealed volume should be the memorial that Tianling Fengxing wants to present to the general. Other than that..."

Linghua took out another letter.

"This is...the correspondence between them and the Fatui."

Linghua took a deep breath to calm the tension in her heart.

"It seems that the judgment of the Yae Palace Master is correct. The current conflict in Inazuma is indeed the result of their instigation."

After saying that, Linghua looked at Jiang Ming with gratitude.

"Thank you for bringing these to us. These should be enough evidence. Next, please take them to Yae Palace. I believe she will have the next plan. I will also gather people and try to dig out more Fatui lurking in Inazuma."

"Yes, of course. However...you don't have to worry about the Fatui. Your brother will be able to take care of them."

"Eh?"

Linghua's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, not understanding why Jiang Ming suddenly said that.

"Ahem, anyway, I will deliver the things."

Jiang Ming gently shook the evidence in his hand and returned to Naruto Taisha Shrine.

......

"Ok?"

As soon as Jiang Ming arrived at the Meijin Taisha Shrine, he found Yingzheng and Kujo Sara confronting each other.

"May I ask, Lord Yae, is hiding a wanted criminal in a shrine disrespectful to the general?"

Kujo Sara stared at Yae Godson with a serious expression.

"Haha, you are still the same, Lord Kujo Sara. When it comes to loyalty to the general, I'm afraid no one can match you."

The Son of God still had a smiling face.

"It's a pity that your sincerity was ultimately betrayed by the current situation. Should we say that you are confused or the only sober person?"

The Son of God began to act as a riddler.

"Please tell me directly, Lord Palace Secretary, what do you mean by this?"

Kujo Sara is a straightforward person, so she certainly wouldn't make blind guesses, and she wasn't in the mood to make guesses right now.

"Haha, the Eye Hunting Order is nothing more than a foolish policy that was misled by the fools and made the people pay for it themselves. And the one who deceived the emperor was none other than your own master, the Tenryo Bugyo - a member of the Kujo family."

Upon hearing this, Kujo Sara's body trembled and his eyes widened slightly.

"You mean, the Kujo family...rebelled against the shogunate?"

"Yeah, exactly. You understand it well."

"That's impossible. Since I was adopted by the Kujo family, I have seen and heard that everyone in the Tenryo Fukyo family is loyal to the general, especially the head of the family, Master Takayuki. He worships Wuxiang's sword more than anyone else. My respect for the general is not even one ten-thousandth of his. How could the family do anything that would harm the general?"

Kujo Sara quickly denied the Son of God.

'You're really good at blowing...'

Jiang Ming, who had just arrived here, couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard Jiu Tiao's words, and the Son of God also noticed Jiang Ming.

"Haha, if you want evidence, isn't it here?"

Kujo Sara also saw Jiang Ming at this time, and couldn't help but frown, and even took a small step back in fear. In that place, the oppression brought to them by Jiang Ming was too great.

"Haha, don't be afraid, Miss Kujo. After all, I'm just here to deliver something."

As Jiang Ming spoke, he handed the evidence he had obtained to Kujo Sara one by one. Kujo Sara seemed particularly shocked after reading it, especially the correspondence between Tenryo Bugyo and the Fatui.

"If that's the case... everything I've insisted on until now... No, betrayal is unforgivable. I'm going to confront the head of the family face to face!"

After he finished speaking, Kujo Sara went to look for Kujo Takayuki in anger, and Ying also decided to catch up with Kujo Sara, hoping to meet General Raiden.

"Wait a minute, Ying, I have something else to tell you."

Shen Zi called out to Ying.

"The first time you entered the Pure Land of One Mind was when you were in front of the Thousand-Handed Hundred-Eyed God, right? If you want to enter the Pure Land of One Mind again, you have to find a way to recreate the scene of that day. If you can make General Raiden open his heart again in front of the Thousand-Handed Hundred-Eyed God, then you will definitely have a chance..."

"I see."

"Well, here, this is for you."

Shen Zi handed something to Ying.

"This is......?"

"The amulets of Narukami Taisha Shrine are always very effective. I specially left one for you. When you encounter a difficult crisis, take it out and have a look. The crisis may be solved. Of course, you can also take it out when you miss me. Maybe I will suddenly jump out to see you."

"Don't make fun of Ying at a time like this, Miss Fox..."

"Haha, I get it. I'll leave my stupid friend to you now."

Having said this, Ying followed Kujo Sara into the Tenryo Bugyofu.

"So, what are you going to do next?"

The Son of God looked at Jiang Mingdao.

"Well... first we need to clear out all the Fatui lying in ambush nearby, and then we can take Kiana to overturn the Eye Hunting Order, and..."

Jiang Ming looked towards the direction of the castle tower.

"Maybe... I can also enter the Pure Land of One Mind."

"Oh? Then I'm really looking forward to it."

The Son of God came under the sacred cherry tree and looked in the direction of the castle tower without saying a word.

................................................

Castle tower.

"They rushed in, one after another..."

The lady spoke in an arrogant tone, as if she didn't take anyone present seriously.

"If I hadn't known this was the castle tower, I would have thought it was some kind of street market or something."

"I am the one who should punish the mistakes of the Inazi people. You are not qualified, ma'am."

General Raiden said expressionlessly.

"I am so sorry, General."

"Miss!"

"Okay, okay. I know you can't forget me. You don't have to mention my name all the time. I also know you hate me, the lingering traveler. To be honest, I'm not surprised to see you here."

"You are trying to control Inazuma..."

"Oh? Are you so anxious to expose my crimes in front of the general? Haha, I'm just a diplomatic envoy from Winter Solstice. What are you talking about? I don't understand you."

"You have seized the Heart of God from the gods."

"Haha, the ideals of the Queen of Winter are the most noble and pure in the world. What you said are just some insignificant and necessary sacrifices."

"And you are Inazuma's most wanted criminal. Think carefully about your situation. Breaking into the castle tower and making irresponsible remarks in front of the emperor, isn't that just walking into a trap? I hope you can realize the gap between you and me, whether it's status... or strength."

"Then I really hope that you can continue laughing next time."

An alternative voice sounded behind the crowd.

"Jiang Ming!"

Paimon called out the visitor's name with some surprise.

"whispering sound."

The lady looked at Jiang Ming with some disgust.

"Huh, what? Are you, a wanted criminal, going to fall into the trap?"

"Haha, you'll know in a moment whether you've walked into a trap or not."

"what?"

"I challenge you to a duel."
