Chapter 416...The era of tattoos has arrived!
When that time comes, nothing is more important than the interests that cannot be ceded. The biggest problem is the fear of being wiped out by the enemy! Karasuma Renya will not trust that his opponent will show mercy.
If we were really faced with that situation, even if Karasuma Renya were to be resurrected, there would be nothing he could do. It would be as if the Karasuma family had incurred the wrath of the masses, and everyone was kicking a man when he was down. No one could handle that situation.
Therefore, Karasuma Renya's idea was to leave some backup plan for his family before he died, so that they wouldn't be wiped out and at least a bloodline could be preserved.
Compared to her untrustworthy adversary, Karasuma Renya trusted Li Muyang, an outsider, more.
Perhaps because of the Miyano family's situation, Li Muyang disliked the Karasuma family. However, it was precisely because the Miyano couple still had a glimmer of hope that Karasuma Renya had the opportunity to ask Li Muyang for a chance.
For someone like Lao Li, he responds better to gentle persuasion than force.
Originally, Li Muyang lured a group of people to the Karasuma family not only to expose their true colors but also to seriously discuss cooperation on virtual world games. Secondly, he wanted to put pressure on the Karasuma family, because Li Muyang had no reason to make the Karasuma family back down except for going on a killing spree.
If killing could solve the problem, that would be ideal, but unfortunately it can't!
Putting everything else aside, the whereabouts of the Miyano couple is a problem that Li Muyang has to solve. It wasn't until just now that Li Muyang learned that Karasuma Renya had hidden them in the Shadow Kingdom.
Who would have thought... Li Muyang's methods of applying pressure were useless, because Karasuma Renya was so cooperative.
As for the conditions for taking care of the Karasuma family, Li Muyang's not refusing was already considered an agreement. Anyway, it wasn't too troublesome, and everyone present heard it. Even if Li Muyang didn't take action, everyone present would know to be careful.
This involves Old Li's pride. If anyone is unreasonable, then it will be Li Muyang's turn to reason with them.
Convince people with reason.
Not to mention, if the Karasuma family were to also get involved in the virtual world gaming industry, even if Karasuma Renya died, the Karasuma family might not suffer any serious consequences.
This is the virtual world technology that Li Muyang casually picked up.
Otherwise, why would they summon so many people at once? The potential for development in virtual world technology is enormous! It's practically another world altogether!
Regarding the collaboration, although everyone present was a cunning old fox, it was clear that professional negotiation was not their responsibility. Therefore, they only finalized a general collaboration project and maintained the initial team composition.
Li Muyang also made his own demands, stating that he would select forces from the Great Xia to intervene!
The initiative was in Li Muyang's hands. Even if they didn't want to agree, they had to, and they had to obediently appear satisfied, or rather, Li Muyang's intentions were within their expectations.
The virtual world technology has truly been made public, and Japan alone cannot possibly capture this huge market! Most importantly, the technology wasn't developed by local Japanese, but by Li Muyang, a cultivator from another world!
In other words, the Japanese have a relatively good understanding of the concepts of the Upper Realm and the Immortal Realm. But if it were the United States, they wouldn't be able to reason with Commissioner Smith! They would simply think Li Muyang is untrustworthy! They might even try to forcefully seize the technology!
No joke. Li Muyang had used his time-space powers to deduce the outcome when he was bored. If he really went to the Latin American Federation to try to keep them in check, they would inevitably be greedy and keep making demands!
Then just pass on it!
Li Muyang naturally felt a natural affinity for Great Xia. The Great Xia in this world felt to him at the same level of closeness as China in the main world, partly because there hadn't been any unpleasant incidents so far.
Of course, this time the plan is to go back and investigate, to see if there is a suitable force to intervene. The first choice is naturally Zhang Xuanlin. He would definitely not betray Li Muyang, at least not on his own initiative! Because Zhang Xuanlin knows Li Muyang's true identity and cannot afford to offend him!
No matter how advanced the technology in a virtual world is, it can't compare to the value of Li Muyang as a person!
Zhang Xuanlin is probably one of the few people on Blue Star who is relatively clear about Li Muyang's value!
Aside from beings like him, even Olympian gods like Kido Saori only had a superficial understanding of Li Muyang. The reason they showed goodwill towards Li Muyang was simply because they couldn't see through his origins!
It's just a guess.
Even these few Olympian gods, their participation in the virtual world collaboration was for Li Muyang himself. Virtual world technology wasn't something particularly valuable to them; it was more about having fun!
Virtual world technology is something that only people on Earth are interested in; the real gods don't care about it.
Isn't it just a virtual world? They can't create a real world, but a virtual dream world? What's so difficult about that? Isn't it just a kind of illusion?
At least for now, these Olympian gods still think this way.
After a fairly "pleasant" banquet, Li Muyang left the Karasuma family with Shiho Miyano.
However, before leaving, Li Muyang gave Karasuma Renya a strange talisman. The moment the boss saw the talisman, his pupils visibly shrank.
The image above is roughly a pattern of a mask. For Li Muyang, the pattern of the talisman is just a medium, designed entirely according to his own wishes.
Upon seeing the talisman with the mask pattern, Karasuma Renya covered his forehead in distress, realizing he had miscalculated. He also marveled at Li Muyang's methods, realizing that his tricks were all within his expectations and that Li Muyang had shown him mercy and given him face.
Yes, the most deadly thing is when you fill in the blanks in your own mind!
It's clear he's overthinking it. Li Muyang's intention in giving him this talisman was simply: Even if you hide in the Shadow Kingdom, I can still hunt you down!
As a result, Karasuma Renya mistakenly believed that Li Muyang knew about her hiding the Miyano couple in the Shadow Kingdom beforehand! And that he could even take them with him at any time before that!
Was it a lucky accident? Anyway, the effect was even better!
"...So I don't have to hide anymore?" Shiho Miyano was still a little dazed when she got home, feeling dizzy.
Li Muyang nodded and affirmed, "Of course!"
"But just to be on the safe side, come on, let me give you a few more buffs!"
Dozens of talismans were drawn for Shiho and hidden inside her body. They were all for saving her life, for defense, and for prolonging her life. Except for a few specific ones, Shiho could take out the rest at will. Moreover, after using them, a new one would be formed after a period of time.
Finally, the functions of the jade disc were added, so that if all else fails, one can go to a small world for refuge.
The reason for this is that Li Muyang's management authority has been upgraded, and with his research on the Great Dao of Time and Space, he will not allow Shiho Miyano to continue to be a fixed pawn in the plot of this world. At least she can take a break.
Moreover, the plot has already become a complete mess.
Shiho studied the talismans with interest and discovered that these talismans had a stable and peculiar power, emanating a kind of captivating aura. Perhaps it was Li Muyang's special method, equivalent to recognizing a master. These life-saving talismans could also recognize a master!
Shiho discovered that she could actually make all sorts of tattoos appear on her body, and they were so lifelike, as if they were alive! She could also hide them all! She had complete control over them!
Yes! The era of colored contact lenses is over! Now it's the era of tattoos!
The talismans created by Li Muyang using the Tongtian Talisman, combined with his research on elixirs in the Doupo world, are now sufficient to create living talisman spirits! In a sense, he is already considered a peak ninth-grade talisman refiner! He can easily draw talismans in the air! Enough to establish a sect in the Doupo world!
As for why it's ninth rank... naturally, it's because Li Muyang believes he hasn't broken through to the Dou Di level yet.
What? You're asking why a Dou Di (Battle Emperor) can't beat me?
That's his skill level! He should look for the problem within himself!
Yes, those who know, know!
Now that we've brought the Miyano couple back, the first thing we need to do is wake them up.
After checking, Li Muyang confirmed that they had only entered a state between life and death, or in other words, their souls had separated. Most of their souls were floating outside. Karasuma Renya had accidentally put them in a nutrient pod, which also protected their souls from continuing to dissipate, but that was also why they couldn't wake up... But that was no big deal; it was easy to stuff them back in.
If you can't solve this little problem of cultivating immortality, then all your efforts will be in vain! The Miyano couple don't have any special physical constitutions; it's just that their souls have left their bodies.
For those who know the appropriate methods, this situation is a simple matter of lifting a finger, but for those who don't... well, they really won't know how, and they won't be able to solve it no matter what they try.
Expecting that she would wake up soon, Li Muyang informed Miyano Shiho and then went to contact Zhang Xuanlin.
Tell me about the virtual world, and while we're at it, let's talk about the chef family.
“Ah…you mean Lao Hong?” Zhang Xuanlin’s understanding of the virtual world was indeed very calm, with little reaction. Instead, he focused more on the following question: “His situation is the same as mine. He is also a reincarnation. The difference is that he is not a reincarnation using an alternate account, but is undergoing a tribulation through reincarnation.”
Upon hearing this, Li Muyang was shocked: "Master Zhang, do you mean that this Hong Anguo is the reincarnation of the original body?"
Zhang Xuanlin chuckled: "His original body? What original body does he have? His original body was a human. He died of old age back then. Let me put it this way, Old Hong's first life was surnamed Jiang, clan name Lü, and his given name was Shang."
"Jiang Ziya? Hong Anguo is the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong?" Li Muyang was even more surprised, but at the same time he felt that it made sense. In the Investiture of the Gods, Jiang Taigong was the one who conferred titles on behalf of Heaven, but he himself was unable to attain enlightenment or live forever and enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory.
It's obvious that this reincarnation of Taigong is just as extraordinary!
"Speaking of which, he had it pretty tough. The karma of being appointed a god by the heavens back then was far too heavy for a mortal like him. He had no choice but to go through so many reincarnations and tribulations. This life may be his most fulfilling one yet," Zhang Xuanlin recounted with emotion.
