Jingliu: Who is Foxian Shrine Maiden? Where's my Baiheng?!

What Vill-V needs is purity.

Even if Vill-V splits into 8 or even hundreds of personalities, those personalities are still Vill-V, but the overall platform is not.

In Vill-V's view, this overarching platform can also be considered a personality, so different Vill-V voted to "vote out" this overarching platform.

What's this?

"Moreover, this bulk goods platform came about at a really opportune time. As I just mentioned, after this Persona Mask was given a personality to a non-living object, the resulting consciousness and personality were very pure and weak. Pure means having no opinions of their own, and weak means having insufficient potential."

"But What If, after removing the mask, the personality and consciousness of the non-living entity are left inside the mask and unified through this unifying platform... even if each individual is weak on its own, it's a different story when they come together. Sufficient consciousness strength would allow this Persona Mask to control whatever it wants, such as the Xianzhou beneath our feet." Vill-V stomped her foot.

A single drop of water has limited power, but water gathers from many streams and eventually becomes the sea!

"Furthermore, I discovered that the personalities preserved in this way also retain and exert some of their original abilities in the new body. For example, the personality of an ordinary stone can make objects harder. Although these abilities are very basic, they may not be so when combined."

"As long as this mask remains intact and is passed down through generations, supported by countless pure and weak personalities, sooner or later this mask will enable a behemoth like the Xianzhou to possess its own personality and fully control its body. Perhaps it can even develop into a galactic giant," Vill-V said with great interest.

"... Jing Yuan, I'm so sorry." Chen Li sighed deeply.

I'm sorry, I'm the one who sent three "bombs" to the Xianzhou.

Thankfully, none of them exploded.

"What does this have to do with Jing Yuan?" Vill-V tilted her head in confusion.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking that even though you've created this thing, the Aeon of Intellect hasn't even glanced at you?" Chen Li complained.

"What does this have to do with the Aeon of Intellect? This mask is still very weak, and it's just a tool. It doesn't show my genius at all." Vill-V shook her head.

"I can barely accept that reason, but why doesn't Harmony even glance at you... Oh, you melted Harmony's Blessing." Chen Li couldn't hold back anymore when he thought of this.

It's unclear whether it's because Vill-V only displayed genius-level madness and not other merits that she wasn't invited by the Aeon of Intellect.

Furthermore, since there seemed to be few consciousnesses within this mask, and the Blessing of Harmony was no longer on Vill-V but on this mask, the Harmony Aeon had not extended an olive branch to Vill-V.

Therefore, such a Harmony genius became Envoy of Joy...

This is so Elation.

[Perhaps the Aeon of Joy used His Aeon power to block out this Persona Mask. He wants to pull off something big!]

"..." Chen Li thought about it and also felt that it was possible that Aha was behind it.

Perhaps for Aha, the amusement he gets from letting those who are not good enough to be geniuses into the Genius Society is no greater than the amusement he gets from preventing geniuses who should be in the Genius Society getting in.

What kind of fun isn't fun?

Damn Aha!

"By the way, Vill-V, have you named this mask? And have you equipped it with any countermeasures?" Chen Li asked.

"The name of the mask... let's call it 'Inheritance.' As for countermeasures, of course there are. After all, you know, what blacksmith wouldn't leave a backdoor in the items they forge?" Vill-V nodded.

"What backdoor?"

"Each personality within this Persona Mask is weak; their strength stems from the collective strength. How the collective acts is determined and integrated by the unifying platform, which in turn is mine... You can think of the unifying platform as the brain of this persona." Vill-V shrugged and didn't continue.

"... Is your overall platform large enough?"

"Rest assured, every personality born from the Persona Mask will be connected to the overarching platform at its purest state. Each personality both uses this platform and bears its burdens, so it will never collapse," Vill-V said.

"Okay, as long as you keep it in mind," Chen Li said, feeling that the risks of this Persona Mask were relatively controllable.

Although this Persona Mask can give birth to pure personalities from non-living things, although the pure personalities born will all have some characteristics and abilities of the original body, and although these personalities, each with their own strengths, will work together under the influence of the group to make the objects that the Persona Mask can control increasingly larger and perform increasingly complex behaviors...

But this Persona Mask is still suppressed by the Harmony Aeon, so it can't be overturned.

At best, it would be something like the Luofu Xianzhou forming the head, the Yaoging Xianzhou forming the torso, and so on, making the Xianzhou Alliance a single entity.

The Xianzhou Alliance has attacked!

Which Xianzhou Alliance? Xianzhou Yaoqing or Xianzhou Luofu?

[Regarding... the Xianzhou Alliance.]

"..." Chen Li couldn't hold back for a moment.

[The "Xianzhou Alliance" and the "Xianzhou Alliance"... it's hilarious!]

"Damn, now there's no pre-animation at all!" Chen Li finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"What's wrong?" Vill-V asked, noticing Chen Li's expression.

"It's nothing. Just thinking about the happy smile on Jingliu's face when he summons Baiheng with this Summoning Ticket makes me want to smile too!" Chen Li quickly made up an excuse.

Chapter 193 Jingliu: Who is Kitsune Saiguu? Where is my Baiheng?!

"Um... Master, are you sure you don't want to go to the Dan Ding Division to borrow the Dragon Lady of the Healer's Apothecary Bailu?" Chen Li asked Jingliu, who was holding Summoning Ticket, again.

"It's alright."

"Or does Master have some extremely precious, treasured items related to Baiheng that you've kept for many years?"

"No." Jingliu his head.

"Then why is your face full of confidence?" Chen Li asked, puzzled.

The Summoning Ticket is Miraculous Item worth 10 Crystals that Chen Li just crafted using the three keywords: [Contact], [Heroic Spirit], and [Fox]. It can randomly summon Heroic Spirits related to foxes in the current world.

Adding items related to the Heroic Spirit when summon Heroic Spirits it can greatly increase the probability of summoning that Heroic Spirit.

Although adding the "Fox" tag will narrow the scope of this Miraculous Item's applicability, Jingliu probably wouldn't want to summon other Heroic Spirit.

After Baiheng is resurrected by Jingliu using Resurrection Card, Chen Li can remove the [Fox] attribute from this Miraculous Item and turn it into a universal Miraculous Item —in fact, this Summoning Ticket can be reused.

It can be used once every 7 days, and each summon Heroic Spirits can last for 7 days.

However, if Jingliu chooses to summon randomly instead of using Holy Relics, it is possible to summon other fox Heroic Spirit, after all, the Foxians have left a significant mark on the Xianzhou Alliance.

"Because... I believe in the Bond between me and Baiheng!" Jingliu casually tossed out the talisman in his hand.

As the Summoning Ticket into the air, a huge magic circle suddenly unfolded beneath it.

Under Chen Li's astonished gaze, Jingliu stepped into the glowing magic circle at the stage where he was supposed to add Holy Relic to summon a heroic Heroic Spirit.

"Oh, I see, the Holy Widow!" Chen Li suddenly realized.

So that's how it was solved? That's amazing!

Chen Li then realized that Jingliu had come up with the idea of summon Heroic Spirits using himself as a medium because of an amusing anecdote he had casually mentioned while forging Miraculous Item.

"Hundreds of years of obsession, hundreds of years of waiting, hundreds of years of longing, my dearest friend who once sacrificed himself to save lives... appear!" Jingliu's voice was filled with emotion like never before.

This is the Word of Power section. Because of the addition of connection terms, recounting the life story of Heroic Spirit through language can increase the probability of summoning that Heroic Spirit.

The magic circle seemed to be stimulated by something, and began to expand rapidly, causing huge waves to rise throughout the forge.

As the intense light gradually dimmed, the three people present stared intently at the dissipating pillar of light and the woman with a graceful figure and prominently erect fox ears within it.

"But speaking of which... is Jingliu really considered a holy widow?" Chen Li asked with some curiosity.

"Baiheng, I've finally seen you again, Bai... Who are you?" When Jingliu pulled off the black cloth covering his eyes and eagerly took two steps forward to greet his best friend, he found that his best friend in front of him was a little unfamiliar.

"Are you my master? By the way, who is Baiheng?" The white-haired fox who emerged from the magic circle couldn't help but scratch his head.

"...My dear disciple, what's going on?" Jingliu subconsciously turned to look at Chen Li.

Jingliu's already scarlet pupils appeared even more breathtaking at this moment.

"How would I know? You were the one who kept talking about Friendship and Bonds, and you even used yourself as Holy Relic to summon the wrong Heroic Spirit." Chen Li spread his hands innocently.

"If I kill her, can I summon her again?" A longsword made of solid ice suddenly appeared in Jingliu's hand, and the violent killing intent made the white-haired, fox-eared Heroic Spirit in front of Jingliu tremble.

"Wait a minute, I have something to say! Give me a chance, big sister, give me a chance!" The white fox in front of Jingliu hugged Jingliu's leg.

"Killing her now won't help, but I've always felt it was risky for you to summon Heroic Spirits without Holy Relic, so I summoned a Projection Summoning Ticket a while ago, so you can try again." Chen Li took out another Summoning Ticket that he had casually summoned before using the Jingliu Summoning Ticket.

"... What's your name?" Jingliu turned to look at the white-haired Foxians in front of him.

Seeing that Chen Li had a backup plan, Jingliu released the longsword formed from condensed ice, letting it turn into endless cold air and dissipate like dust.

"My name is Kitsune Saiguu." Seeing that Jingliu's Killing Intent had diminished, Kitsune Saiguu gave Chen Li a grateful look, and then immediately stood up to explain.

"Why is it you who came out of the Heroic Spirit Summoning Circle?" Jingliu's tone was icy.

Jingliu needs to determine exactly where the problem lies.

"I don't know. I heard someone saying something. Hundreds of years of obsession, hundreds of years of waiting, hundreds of years of longing, and words like 'a dear friend who once sacrificed himself to save lives.' I thought they were calling me, so I responded to the call." Kitsune Saiguu scratched his head.

"... You also have a close friend Long-Life Species?"

"Um."

"Your dearest friend has also waited for you for hundreds of years?"

"Uh-huh."

"You also have obsessions?"

"Mmm-hmm."

"Have you also sacrificed yourself to save lives?"

"Uh-huh."

"..." Jingliu couldn't hold back for a moment.

Upon closer inspection, the fox in front of him had white hair just like himself, and there was also a black stripe on its face...

"You also suffer from a serious illness?" Jingliu couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't have this before I was alive, but I do now. It seems to be because I was devoured by a black calamity, so I always have a weakness buff on me. However, I have a Noble Phantasm. When I unleash Noble Phantasm, I will show my strongest form, but I will die after using Noble Phantasm." Kitsune Saiguu said after glancing at his data details.

"..." Jingliu couldn't hold back any longer.

In a sense, as a patient with the white- Mara-Struck, Jingliu summoned Bai Heng using a word of power that perfectly matched the other party's life story. The probability of Jingliu summoning Baiheng was indeed not as high as that of the fox in front of him!

"Xiao Li, give her a Friends Circle Terminal, and also send her a link to a Resurrection Card. Tell her to watch the 7-day Resurrection Card ad and try to win the Revival Match. Make sure she doesn't appear in the card pool again!" Jingliu turned to Chen Li and said.

"OK."

"Wait, what do you mean? What is the Revival Match?" Kitsune Saiguu was stunned for a moment.

"The Revival Match is..." Chen Li saw that Kitsune Saiguu looked completely bewildered, so he patiently explained it to her.

Chen Li felt that the fox looked familiar when it first appeared, and only after hearing its self-introduction did he realize that the fox was indeed familiar.

Oh, so it's the Kitsune Saiguu.

That Tai He!

Kitsune Saiguu, the inheritor of the White Star Fox King's bloodline, was the most unique among the demons serving Raiden Shogun, and also the most cherished friend of both Raiden Shogun and his sister. When the dark calamity that swept across Inazuma arrived, she gave all her strength, fighting with all her might to protect Narukami Island, and was ultimately swallowed by the darkness.

"You mean after I'm summoned from a dead state, I can still watch the Resurrection Card ads, collect enough Resurrection Cards to play Revival Match? And after winning the Revival Match, I'll really be resurrected?" Kitsune Saiguu said in disbelief.

"You don't need to repeat what I told you," Chen Li said.

"After being summoned, I can not only be temporarily resurrected for 7 days, but I also have the possibility of being completely resurrected. This time, responding to the summons was totally worth it!"

"Shh, don't upset my master," Chen Li whispered.

"I understand. But if you have such means, why don't you just revive Baiheng?" Kitsune Saiguu asked, puzzled.

"Because the summoned Heroic Spirit cannot be too far from their Masters, and they also need their Masters to help replenish their mana. If the Masters run out of mana, they need to replenish it by sticking to them... Do you understand?"

"I understand, it's all good points, this Summoning Ticket is indeed a good thing. Wait, what should I do then?" Kitsune Saiguu paused for a moment.

If, as Chen Li said, Jingliu has no magic, then how does she supply herself with magic? And the other party clearly doesn't want to get close to her. Can she really... survive for seven days?

As for the question about the Kitsune Saiguu, Chen Li blinked but remained silent.

What to do? Just deal with it!

"Fortunately, I have another Inherent Skill that allows me to continuously supply magic by drawing Life Force from the planet while standing on the ground... Wait, why isn't it working?" Kitsune Saiguu paused again.

"Because this is Xianzhou, a planet-sized spaceship, but it is not a planet, so it has no ley lines."

"... You might as well just kill me now, I don't want to live anymore." Kitsune Saiguu was somewhat desperate.

That's not fair!

"You must live, or you will pollute the gacha pool." Jingliu's voice rang out behind Kitsune Saiguu.
