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 tarnish his feathers by speaking lies.
But the other party's long silence made Jiang Qian calm down again.
Then, he heard an answer:
"I'm sorry about your brother."
Accompanied by Venerable White Tiger's deep groans, 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 Divine Mountain with the Dragon God, he stayed briefly in China. This time coincided 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 personally admitted this.
"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 God War 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 sadness about the uncertainty of the world. Even though most of what he stated were facts that had been verified by the authorities.
"What do you want to know?" White Tiger Supreme said to the point.
The officially verified facts also include his psychiatric diagnosis report: Jiang Qian is not an ordinary son who has lost his father, and his existing emotions no longer include the category of "sadness."
So what he needs is never comfort, but content with more practical significance.
"God War!"
Jiang Qian said without hesitation:
"Although this is not the first time I have heard rumors about the God War, I still want to hear the most authoritative interpretation from you - I want to know what happened before and after the God War, what happened to me that year and the God War.
Does it matter?"
"Um……"
A deep groan came 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 officialdom, 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 necessarily
rigorous."
Jiang Qian's eyes moved slightly: The term "war between gods" 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 had 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 one of the warring parties is the guard legion headed by the six-state clergy card holder. So, what about the other party?
Shouldn't you know this kind of key information better than me? Jiang Qian remained silent, but his mind couldn't help but spin:
When he first heard the description of the "God War" 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 came out of the vortex.
, as the ocean currents spread to the land, causing a large number of ordinary people to die... Before things became irreversible, the high-ranking super species army called by lawful officials intercepted the disaster.
However, now, as a senior official of the Lawful Law and the leader of the Predator clan, the White Tiger Venerable is hinting to him that even the senior official 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 license 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 is allowed to land, the consequences will be unimaginable."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "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.
The legion, led by the top masters of the major families, went to sea to intercept... We all know what happened next. The disaster stopped, the gods fell, and everything 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 is 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.
1. If what Venerable White Tiger said is true, then in fact, the God of Dionysus never really participated in the war between gods?
"No one survived that divine war, and all those who actually participated in the divine war lost contact."
Venerable Baihu 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 was 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 in person, there was no doubt that what he heard now was top-secret information.
Therefore, he held his breath and concentrated to avoid missing any key points.
"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 "peace" 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 disrupt the balance and lead to disasters is already very 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 influence 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 the doorstep, no one is willing to take the lead in making substantive changes.
"Until the past two years, the accelerating and frequent occurrence of 'unconventional events' around the world has 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."
"Out-of-control, lost copies, abnormal surges of unconventional forces, and abnormal accidents that occur more frequently than before..."
When Venerable White Tiger said this, he stopped at the right time.
This incident was no longer limited to Jiang Qian's doubts about his father's death or even his own changes. It opened up a global perspective, allowing Jiang Qian to view the War of Gods from a broader perspective.
And Venerable White Tiger's few words seemed to contain subtle hints to him——
"Abnormal disasters will happen again."
Jiang Qian revealed the other party's subtext! He received the hint, but was still unsure how to respond.
"Yes, it will happen again! And once it does, it will probably be even worse than the last crisis."
Venerable White Tiger spoke solemnly and 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 the imbalance leads to abnormal disasters... Will the official ten tribes take action for this unfalsifiable inference?" Jiang Qian said.
"Even if it is an inference, after all, it has gone through the consensus of many parties. The important thing is that once the inference is established, it will lead to consequences that no one can bear."
Speaking of this, Venerable Baihu asked Jiang Qian with a smile:
"If it were you who made the decision, would you be willing to take the risk?"
"..."
At that moment, what flashed through Jiang Qian's mind was not how the world would collapse and be destroyed due to imbalance, but just a few familiar faces.
With the appearance of these faces, he has come to his own answer. He has even come to the answer to the reason why his father participated in the battle with no return.
People consider risks and benefits for 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 do whatever it takes to crush them.
broken.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It’s not that most people don’t understand this account, it’s just that when the sky falls, it’s not their turn to bear it.
It's just not in its place.
The continued silence made the huge suite seem even more empty and lonely.
Perhaps in order to prevent the conversation between the two from reaching a deadlock, Venerable White Tiger concluded this somewhat heavy topic with Jiang Qian's original question:
"This is all you want to know about the 'War of Gods' back then. Your father did participate in the process of the War of Gods, there is no doubt about it. As for the memory of your father's death in the flood you mentioned, I think that may be just
A way of saying goodbye that ordinary people can understand."
"All the patriots who participated in the God War were very aware of the seriousness of the situation and were prepared to die for it. Of course, this is just my experience. If you care about it, you might as well carefully review what your father did before he left.
The instructions left behind may have answers."
Farewell way, instructions...
Jiang Qian gradually regained his reverie.
Venerable White Tiger's reminder made him quickly recall his father's instructions before his "disaster":
"Ah Qian... don't look back! Protect your mother..."
…
That's all.
The only words he could recall between their father and son were nothing more than that.
Jiang Qian's mother Wen Han's face appeared in front of his eyes.
I can't remember how long it has been since I last saw my only remaining loved one. I only know that she is living abroad and squandering her life for her reputation as an artist.
Maybe I should seize the opportunity to fulfill my support obligations... Jiang Qian sighed inwardly, and said solemnly to Venerable White Tiger on the other end of the phone:
"Thank you for telling me this."
Immediately, he quickly sorted out his thoughts and got to the topic of today’s negotiation:
"Let's get back to the topic. During this fight with the Shenshan Organization, I learned something related to the 'unconventional' incident you just mentioned."
Since the other party showed enough sincerity, Jiang Qian didn't mind reciprocating the favor.
Then he succinctly informed Venerable White Tiger of the facts about the rebellion involving the Black Jushe Society spies in the Holy Mountain Incident, and the core of the rebellion - the unconventional "power of the ancestor gods".
At the same time, the ins and outs of the Holy Mountain Organization and the role played by his father Jiang Xuesong in it were truthfully explained.
Of course, even if he didn't say this, the task force would have come to a conclusion after examining the centipede and the centipede, so there was no problem of over-confidence. Moreover, his father's relationship with the sacred mountain was what gave him this opportunity to negotiate.
A stepping stone.
The only thing Jiang Qian had reservations about was the details of the Holy Mountain Organization entrusted to him by the Holy Mother of the White Snake. The resources and organizational secrets involved, Jiang Qian had never thought of handing over in vain.
Due to the rush of the handover, he had not yet had time to take stock of all the "family assets" of Our Lady of the White Snake.
The Holy Mother of the White Snake has been cultivating in the Utopia for many years, and she must have accumulated valuable treasures. Back then, Zhang Nozhi, with just an ant nest prop, could have made the Jinping branch mobilize for such a big battle. If they knew that he was now carrying the Holy Mother,
His entire net worth, I wonder what Venerable White Tiger on the other side of the phone would think...
All in all, Jiang Qian's speech was logical and well-organized; especially when discussing sensitive issues within the government, he was worded carefully and left no excuses.
After speaking, he stopped at the right time and waited patiently for questioning.
Jiang Qian came to today's negotiation well prepared. All the contents had been considered over and over again in advance, and he expected it to be sufficient to justify his argument.
But Venerable White Tiger's reaction still made him stunned on the spot:
"I have known these things you said for a long time."
Jiang Qian was about to speak but stopped.
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 does 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."
