The Truth Behind Ji Bochang's Tragic Ordeal; The Spirit Victory Method
This is why Transmigrator are not ostracized by the world after they travel through time.
However, Ji Bochang was different. His kidnapping was so unexpected that even the Bureau of Time and Space didn't react in time.
(Actually, the Bureau of Time and Space never expected anyone to dare to kidnap someone on their territory, so they were caught off guard and Ji Bochang was kidnapped.)
Seeker of the Dao: So, from the perspective of this world, Ji Bochang, who came from another world, is merely an outsider.
Seeker of the Dao: That's why the Dimensional Chat Group didn't react after I took over this world, because strictly speaking, this world doesn't actually belong to the group members' world.
Seeker of the Dao: If I were to take the world that Ji Bochang first traveled to this time, I probably would have been warned in the Dimensional Chat Group long ago.
Everyone: Oh, I didn't know that was so. I've learned something new.
Dust Leaf: I see.
After Wu Tong explained it so succinctly, everyone immediately understood the intricacies and looked enlightened.
Ye Hei also breathed a sigh of relief; he had thought the Rule that group members couldn't fight was a lie.
Fortunately, he was just overthinking it; the Rule that group members cannot fight each other still applies.
Seeker of the Dao: By the way, I just looked through the Akashic Records of this world.
Seeker of the Dao: Discovered information about Ji Bochang's tragic experiences over the years, besides Liu Ruyan and others, and the Little Fairy System, these are the obvious pawns.
Seeker of the Dao: There are other masterminds behind this.
The Dragon King Spews Water: Who are the other masterminds behind this?
The Seeker of the Dao: the world itself.
Dragon King Spews Water: Huh? What do you mean? This world is also the mastermind behind everything? What's going on?
Seeker of the Dao: As we all know, once we Transmigrator from our Home Star arrive in Otherworld, we are destined to be protagonists. Whether we are good guys or bad guys, or even just supporting characters or extras, we can all achieve great things.
Seeker of the Dao: The reason we have achieved such great success is none other than the immense fortune that we, the Transmigrator, possess, is blessed by the combined Destiny of two worlds.
Seeker of the Dao: In the instinctive perception of this world, Ji Bochang, a person without a backer (visa), has a lot of Destiny, so in order to improve himself, he had evil intentions.
Seeker of the Dao: In order to absorb the Destiny of Ji Bochang, this (seemingly) outsider with no background, so as to promote himself to a higher level.
Seeker of the Dao: For this reason, this world joined forces with that Little Fairy System to influence Liu Ruyan and others, and arranged the tragic fate script for Ji Bochang over the years.
The Seeker of the Dao's aim is to suppress and harm Ji Bochang, causing his Destiny leak out, thereby absorbing his Destiny.
Dragon King Spews Water:...
The Dragon King Spews Water: That's really terrifying.
Dragon King Spews Water: I never imagined that even something as simple as the world would "eat people" now.
The Dragon King Spews Water: It truly reflects the old saying: Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs.
Dust Leaf: Um... actually, that's not what that sentence meant.
Dragon King Spews Water: Of course I know, but if you take it literally, it does fit Ji Bochang's situation quite well, doesn't it?
Bu Yao Bi Lian:... That makes sense, it's quite fitting.
Beiju: So, does that mean the world I live in also bears some responsibility for what I've experienced over the years?
Ji Bochang's sudden remarks immediately caught Wu Tong's attention.
Wu Tong then realized that Ji Bochang's emotions had been somewhat volatile after dealing with Liu Ruyan and her daughter. If he suddenly learned the truth now, would he have an emotional breakdown...?
Thinking of this, Wu Tong quickly left the Dimensional Chat Group and looked towards Ji Bochang.
Seeing the worried looks in Wu Tong's and Rimuru's eyes.
Ji Bochang waved his hand, casually took out a cigarette from the cigarette pack on his body, lit it, took a deep drag, and then exhaled a cloud of smoke.
After finishing everything, Ji Bochang smiled calmly and said:
"Don't worry, everyone, I'm fine now. It's just that I'm having some trouble accepting the fact that this world is also one of the masterminds."
"However, I never imagined that this world was also one of the masterminds behind the scenes."
However, over the years, I have suffered a lot of malice from the world, although I did not know it was the world's fault before.
But I have never felt any affection for this Minecraft, nor for the people in it.
In this way, once I understand, I naturally won't break down because of the truth.
At this point, Ji Bochang suddenly smiled and said:
"Moreover, now that this world has become Mister Wu Tong's world, my revenge has been completed."
After all, it was I who brought Mister Wu Tong here.
The one who was regarded as an ant and a pawn by itself found allies to turn against it. Presumably, by the very last moment, the world would be filled with regret.
After hearing Ji Bochang's words, everyone wore a strange expression.
Although it sounds a bit strange, what Ji Bochang said... seems to make sense, doesn't it?
This world persecuted Ji Bochang, so Ji Bochang invited Wu Tong into his home, only to have Wu Tong ultimately devour the world.
Thinking about it that way, there really isn't a problem.
But I always feel that Ji Bochang's words... are a bit like Ah Q's the Spirit Victory Method?
Everyone else understands this, so how could Ji Bochang not know it? How could that be? He's used the Spirit Victory Method plenty of times over the years, so naturally he knows this method is just self-comfort.
However, he is powerless to change the world now, but he is unwilling to let it continue to exist peacefully.
Fortunately, Wu Tong had taken control of the world, so Ji Bochang used this to comfort himself:
Wu Tong has avenged him, the world is under control, and the enmity between him and the world has been eliminated.
After calming himself down, Ji Bochang turned his attention back to Wu Tong:
"Mister Wu Tong ... never mind, I'll just call you Brother Tong. You're older than me across both lifetimes, and it's more intimate that way."
"Brother Tong, I already saw the information about the World Master while you were talking."
"So, are you now omnipotent in this world?"
Hearing Ji Bochang's words, Wu Tong nodded, though he was a little puzzled.
Seeing Wu Tong nod, Ji Bochang breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Then... Brother Tong, can I ask you for another favor?"
"Oh, I see. To die or to live?"
If Wu Tong was unaware of Ji Bochang's plans just now...
So Ji Bochang asked him for help...
