Yuan Hao frowned, his eyes stared at Mu Shu, and his voice was a little urgent: "Mu Shu, how long can your spiritual possession ability last?" ”

Mu Shu's voice echoed in Yuan Hao's heart, calm and deep: "According to my analysis, it depends on the origin of the spirit possession. Currently, I am connected to your sea of merit. If it is used as a support, based on the current merit reserves, my existence can last for about a hundred years. ”

Yuan Hao's brows furrowed even more, and a trace of worry was revealed in his voice: "What if the merits of the Merit Sea are exhausted?" ”

Mushu's voice seemed to carry a trace of invisible weight: "Then I will have to consume my origin. Once the Source starts to run out, I will gradually lose my abilities and eventually become a normal item entirely. In my estimation, it will take about a hundred years for the source to be depleted. ”

Yuan Hao was silent for a while, and then asked slowly, "Is there any permanent solution?" ”

Mu Shu seemed to ponder in silence: "Cultivation." Being born by possession of the spirit does not belong to the laws of nature, so there is no ready-made cultivation method. However, if one can find or create a method of cultivation, it is possible to achieve self-sustainment. In this way, it can not only compensate for the consumption, but also prolong the existence time, and may even awaken its own mana. ”

A trace of determination flashed in Yuan Hao's eyes, as if he had already begun to plan the future path in his heart: "It seems that we need to explore an unprecedented path, Mushu." ”

Yuan Hao's eyes flashed with curiosity and expectation: "How strong is your ability now?" ”

Mu Shu's voice echoed in Yuan Hao's heart, with a hint of mysterious solemnity: "I can now use the power of merit to instantly sort out and analyze the knowledge deep in your consciousness. I can classify and store this knowledge and even refine it. And all of this comes from a connection with a greater being. ”

Yuan Hao's eyebrows were slightly raised, full of interest: "Oh? How great is it? ”

The wooden book seems to be thinking about how to express this concept: "This being accompanies you to the desolate world. He not only shaped you, but he gave me life. I suspect that what we call the power of merit may come from the gift of this being. ”

Yuan Hao was slightly stunned, with a little uncertainty in his voice: "What do you mean...... Heaven? But how could that ......"

Although Yuan Hao said this, the doubts in his heart were slowly dissipating, and he had already believed Mu Shu's words for seven or eight points. After all, this wooden book was given by the Heavenly Dao, and its functions and attributes were so peculiar that they were closely connected with the fact that he had come from another world with the Heavenly Dao, and it seemed that everything could be solved.

He pondered for a moment, and a glimmer of exploration flashed in his eyes: "I still haven't fully figured out what kind of principles the immortal arts, immortal methods, and meritorious powers bestowed upon me by the Heavenly Dao are based on. Wooden book, can you explain the mystery of this? ”

As if pondering deeply, Mu Shu replied cautiously and wisely: "As far as I know, all this is closely related to invention and creation, especially those things that can promote the development of the desolate world. Heavenly Dao seems to be doubly recognizing these efforts and results. ”

Yuan Hao's gaze looked through the void, as if he was seeing the possibility of the future: "So, can your current computing power help me predict what things I need to invent and create to maximize this God-given power?" If one day, I can't invent something new, how should we respond? ”

"After the gods merge the Dao, it will be difficult to obtain the power of merit, because the Flood Desolation Divine Mansion has merged one after another, the rules of the Great Dao have tended to be perfected, and the power of merit of the Heavenly Dao has been used to improve the existing rules."

Yuan Hao's brows furrowed, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his voice: "Huh? That is to say, the river of merit in my sea of consciousness is a non-renewable resource, and it will only become less and less used, and it will become more and more difficult to obtain merit? ”

Mu Shu's voice echoed in Yuan Hao's heart, with a kind of peace that was beyond the world: "According to the inference I have made from the faint connection between heaven and earth, it seems that this world is about to usher in a new power. While it may not be fully comparable to the power of merit, it also has considerable potential as a substitute. ”

Yuan Hao's eyes flashed with sparks of exploration, and he asked eagerly, "New power?" So what is it exactly? How can we master it? ”

Mu Shu seemed a little helpless: "At present, I have not been able to directly contact this new power, so I cannot fully understand its essence. ”

Yuan Hao was slightly disappointed, but still maintained hope: "So, at this stage, what can you do for me?" ”

There was a hint of firmness in Mushu's voice: "I can be your assistant to help you manage the Terrans. On top of that, I'm constantly growing. As long as you are willing to pass on what you have learned to me, I can deduce and refine it. This way, you can keep up with my knowledge base without having to re-expend precious merit power. ”

Yuan Hao's eyes flashed with a keen light, and he asked thoughtfully, "So, do I need to make you able to cultivate first?" In other words, do you mean that as long as you invest once, you can benefit for a lifetime? ”

Mu Shu's voice revealed a firm expectation: "That's right, since I have given birth to spiritual wisdom, I naturally want to exist for a long time. ”

Yuan Hao frowned slightly, and cautiously raised his concerns: "How can you be sure that you are harmless to me and the Terrans?" ”

"I myself am the help given by the Heavenly Dao to the human race, and my existence is to assist the human race." Mu Shu replied calmly and forcefully, "As a Mu Shu given by the Heavenly Dao, I am bound by the contract, and my actions and purposes are within the rules of the contract. ”

Yuan Hao nodded and pondered, "Then I'll investigate for a while." You use the power of merit now and start helping the Terrans to develop. ”

Mushu responded: "I have compiled a lot of knowledge, and the current level of development of the human race is relatively backward, and the number of wooden cards is also limited. I need to mobilize the help of Lao Liu, the Demon Clan, and the Spirit of the Five Elements. ”

"Then do it." Yuan Hao replied, "How are you going to command them?" ”

"My abilities have been strengthened, and they can communicate with me through wooden signs." Mushu explained.

"Very good, I hope to build a huge city as soon as possible, and establish a sound management system, so that the surrounding human races can be rescued." Yuan Hao's voice was full of determination.

"Leave it to me!" Mu Shu replied without hesitation, "Patriarch, your most important task now is cultivation. ”

Yuan Hao took a deep breath: "I understand. As an aid, even if I am able to cultivate in the future, it is only to maintain my spiritual intelligence. But in this desolate world full of crises, it is ultimately up to you. ”

"We still have a very limited understanding of the world." Yuan Hao finally added, "If you have the opportunity, you can also collect more information. ”
