66. The key to miracles

The contract spirit system will destroy the world-

When VV told Xia Qiudong like this, Xia Qiudong's first reaction was: She was talking nonsense

The second idea that pops up is that the "destruction of the world" in VV's words does not mean that humanity or the Blue Star are going to be destroyed, but that the current 'social model' ruled by major wealthy families and big corporations is coming to an end and is about to enter a more democratic 'new world'.

The reason why Xia Qiudong thinks this way is because he is not unclear about what kind of impact the so-called 'contract spirit system' has brought to this world.

Before the birth of the contract spirit system, although there were mysterious powers in this world, whether it was the superpowers that relied on bloodline inheritance, such as the Oda family, or magic, alchemy, and yin-yang techniques cultivated in special ways, these cultivation methods to improve personal strength were basically monopolized by big families and large consortia.

If you want to learn, you have to become a subordinate of these big families and big conglomerates.

But the contract spirit system is different-

As long as you are at least fifteen years old, anyone can use it, as long as you summon the existence of another world, even if the summoned is not a great hero in myths and legends, but just an ordinary magician in the magic world, in addition to getting a 'contract spirit' as a subordinate, the summoner can also obtain the qualification to learn magic.

Not to mention those who summon heroes.

What's more, the summoned 'Contract Spirits', even if they are world-famous heroes in their own world, or great gods praised by mortals, as long as they are summoned, they will be bound by the 'Contract Spirit System'.

Because of this, Xia Qiudong believes that the countless Shura gods and Buddhas who poured into this world and caused the 'destruction of the world' as described by VV will not happen.

At most, it is because the power falls more widely into the hands of the common people, which makes the ruling class change.

And these future changes that VV is worried about now, how do the great people describe them in the world over there in Xia Qiudong?

Oh yes, it seems to be called 'the ugly face of imperialism'.

Facing Xia Qiudong's obvious distrustful expression, VV sighed, and then said something that sounded inexplicable to Xia Qiudong.

"Oda Shinna told me that you lost your memory, so I hope I won't tell you about that...... But, since you and I will eventually be together in the future, I still have to tell you something. ”

“...... What the? ”

VV ignored Xia Qiudong's confusion and, at his own pace, continued:

"Listen, Shiji-kun, what you know now about the 'Contract Spirit System' is largely just used by the current rulers to fool the common people."

As he spoke, VV raised three fingers at Xia Qiudong.

"The birth of the 'contract spirit system' was four years ago, that is, in the year 388 of the new calendar, it caused an event at that time, and made one of the three tops, the great sage of Zhongzhou, Hongjun, aware of its existence, the great sage wanted to destroy it, but found that it couldn't be done, so she used the inheritance of the god generation she held, 'Creation Jade Butterfly', to interfere with the original 'contract spirit system', and added several restrictions-

These include the key rules of 'only fifteen-year-olds and girls can use it', 'each person can only use it once', 'the summoned person is completely random', and 'summoned contract spirits are bound by the contract'. ”

“...... Wait a minute! ”

Xia Qiudong is not a fool, wearing black-rimmed glasses and receiving the care of the elders, he quickly grasped the most crucial place in VV's words.

"You mean that the original 'contract spirit system' did not have these rules, and was able to designate the summoned people as they pleased, but could not bind them?"

"Correct."

Xia Qiudong gasped.

He somewhat understood why the Oda family and the Tora company were so interested in the girl Uesugi Alice.

"Because you have amnesia, you may not know that the world-shaking event happened four years ago."

As he spoke, VV clapped his hands, and the next moment, a virtual light screen appeared in mid-air in front of Xia Qiudong and VV out of thin air.

"This is a map of the world from four years ago, what do you think is different from the current map that you know?"

"Different places ......"

Xia Qiudong muttered, his gaze quickly swept over the map given by VV—and then immediately noticed the difference.

No, it should be said that the place is so big and obvious that even Xia Qiudong, who has only traveled to this world for less than two months, can detect at a glance the difference between this map from four years ago and the current map.

Xia Qiudong raised his hand. The index finger drew a circle between the Extreme East Continent and the Zhongzhou Continent.

"The Zhongzhou Continent, as well as the Extreme East Continent, are actually ...... Are they connected? ”

As soon as the words fell, he was obviously soaked in the scorching hot spring, but a cold sweat broke out on Xia Qiudong's back.

Zhongzhou and the Far East, which were connected four years ago, and the present, are completely separated by the sea, and the Far East and Zhongzhou -

What exactly is happening, it is already obvious.

Four years ago, a piece of land about the size of Australia, which connected Zhongzhou with the far east, disappeared.

And VV understated, saying the reason for the disappearance.

"In that area, there was originally an enchantment city called 'Atlantis', however, four years ago, in the year 388 of the new calendar, the contract spirit system was confirmed to appear there for the first time, and then, according to incomplete statistics, it is currently known that the contract spirit that appeared in that 'Atlantis' has these-"

VV clapped his hands again, and the old map on the light screen disappeared, replaced by a photograph.

The background of the photograph appears to be a burning city, in which several vague figures are captured, including apes in armor and wielding iron rods, as tall as buildings, mighty giants with three eyes, huge women with snakes in the lower half of their lives, dragons, snakes, and so on, as well as some unnamed pieces of flesh......

VV gestured to the subjects in the photo, and when this Xia Qiudong faced, he said their names.

"The total number is nearly 100, and what can be confirmed at present is the existence of Atlantis in the enchantment city four years ago, including Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, Nuwa, Rulai, Fafnir, Siegfried, Odin, Loki, Athena, Thor, Jörmungard, and Azathoth...... Among them, Azathoth was banished to the depths of the universe by the three major peaks, including the Great Sage Hongjun, and more than half of the world's fifth stage at that time, the 'saint-level' professionals, while Jörmungandr was infected with the D species afterwards and has been hovering in the orbit of the Blue Star to this day. ”

Not all, just the existence that can be called and confirmed makes Xia Qiudong dizzy.

Xia Qiudong swallowed.

"What about those who are called to exist? Where have they gone now? What happened? ”

“...... In fact, even we can't say what happened at that time, and the only known information is that Fafnia and Siegfried, Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, Nuwa and Rulai, and so on started a chaotic battle...... Except for the fact that he personally intervened in the great sage Hongjun in the mythical battle, no one could say clearly, but the result was-

Even Atlantis, the enchantment city that first appeared with the 'Contract Spirit System', the land connecting the Far East and Zhongzhou, and the summoned Shura gods and Buddhas all disappeared, like pictures erased by plasticine. ”

VV paused, then in a heavy tone, continued:

"And the culprit of all this, Uesugi Alice's father, also mysteriously disappeared after leaving his daughter behind for some reason, but before she disappeared, she told the great sage Hongjun a strange sentence - 'My daughter, Alice, she is the key to miracles'"
