Hermes: "Actually, the rules of Lü Dongbin's world are quite subtle."
Hermes: "It seems there's a dynamic balance mechanism between positive and negative energy. We don't know what the consequences would be if Lü Dongbin took the twelve talismans."
Lumine: "Ah, doesn't that mean the twelve talismans are gone?"
Lumine: "Not even being able to get the spoils of war, isn't that too much of a loss?"
Lü Dongbin: "Although I feel the so-called twelve talismans are quite ordinary, if I wanted to get my hands on them, I still have some ways."
Lü Dongbin: "Although the Heavenly Dao's destiny is a bit troublesome, a little flexibility and adaptation will be fine."
He is an Immortal.
He possesses all the means an Immortal should have.
Although the Heavenly Dao is powerful, if it's just about making a few small moves, it's incredibly simple for an Immortal.
Lumine: "Hmm, I almost forgot, Lü Dongbin is a true Immortal, not the future Jackie Chan."
Lumine: "Jackie Chan's inability doesn't mean Lü Dongbin, as an Immortal, has no way."
Although Jackie Chan is the protagonist and performs amazingly, excelling in both one-on-one and group fights, car chases, races, and high-rise escapes, he even fought the two Evil Dragons, Shendu and Tarakudo, bare-handed... Well, when it comes to fighting, Jackie Chan is indeed formidable.
Although Lumine also doesn't understand why Jackie Chan, merely a mortal martial arts master, could fight back and forth with two Evil Dragons... However, when it comes to understanding and utilizing the rules of the Heavenly Dao, he can't even hold a candle to Lü Dongbin, this Immortal.
Lü Dongbin: "Although I have a way, are these twelve talismans really that powerful?"
Lü Dongbin: "If their abilities are just average, then forget it. Even for me, getting them without hidden dangers is a very troublesome matter."
Lumine: "The twelve talismans are certainly powerful! It can be said that in your world, apart from the super-standard Book of Ages, the uses of these talismans are beyond imagination!"
Putting aside everything else, just looking at the Rat Talisman, that's a god-like ability!
Lumine: "The Rat Talisman, which turns inanimate into animate, can transform fictional characters from other dimensions into reality. This ability alone is immeasurable in value!"
Hermes: "Exactly, with the ability to turn inanimate into animate, regardless of combat power, at the very least, you can learn endless knowledge!"
Let alone others, Hermes himself is very interested in this.
Ning Qingyu: "Hiss, does that mean if I carve statues of supreme grandmasters like Bodhidharma and Zhang Sanfeng, and then use the ability to turn inanimate into animate, I can learn those divine arts, secret methods, and martial arts masterpieces that have been lost for countless years?"
Aozaki Touko: "I can't even understand how Shendu, with these twelve almost heaven-defying talismans, could possibly lose!"
The power of the Rat Talisman is simply heaven-defying!
No Magician can resist the temptation of the Rat Talisman!
Lumine: "Don't ask! If you ask, it's just a world characteristic."
Lumine: "As representatives of negative energy, the Eight Great Demons inherently possess almost endless lifespans and heaven-defying immortality. Their advantage is too great."
Lumine: "And as representatives of positive energy, whether it's Lü Dongbin and the Eight Immortals, or Jackie Chan and others in later generations, they will all eventually grow old and die. According to the dynamic balance mechanism of good and evil, Shendu losing is a perfectly normal occurrence."
Shendu, possessing the twelve talismans, is simply too strong. If he isn't nerfed and his intelligence lowered, how can this game even be played?
Hermes: "Of course, there's another possibility, which is that Shendu and the other Eight Great Demons, over long years, figured out the Heavenly Dao's good-evil balance mechanism, and they all became master actors."
Hermes: "In this worldview, if you're too flashy, you might be the one getting 'harmonized' next!"
[Ding, Admin Lumine uploaded a file.]
Lumine: "@Lü Dongbin, take a look yourself. Once you've seen it, you'll understand that these twelve talismans on Shendu are simply a waste of heavenly resources!"
As he spoke, Lumine felt a pang of heartache.
These twelve talismans, even taken individually, could serve as a kind of golden finger, assisting a generation's protagonist in rising against the heavens!
But you, Shendu, with all twelve talismans, were sealed again and again?
Listening to the Admin's words, a somewhat curious Lü Dongbin pulled out the file. He wanted to see what commendable abilities that Evil Dragon, whom he had been chopping for several days, truly possessed.
The result.
After reading it, Lü Dongbin was completely dumbfounded.
Seriously, Shendu, with these abilities, how did I manage to chop you down so many times consecutively?
You don't use so many super powerful abilities, you just spray a few dragon blasts, and then engage in close combat with him, a Sword Immortal?
Where is your Shadowkhan?
Where are your super sorceries?
Where are your twelve talisman abilities?
However, as an Immortal, Lü Dongbin's mind was still very sharp.
Recalling the Admin's words, the Heavenly Dao's grand trend, the balance of good and evil... He immediately understood why that Evil Dragon fought like a clueless brute.
Of course, Hermes's words also made Lü Dongbin fall into thought.
Acting?
"Hiss!"
Lü Dongbin gasped, recalling everything he had done to Shendu. After a brainstorm, he didn't dare to speak his thoughts aloud in reality, but instead murmured in his heart: "Shendu, terrifying as he is!"
He was even able to continue the act with him after having his little 'chicken' cut off?
This thick-browed, big-eyed Evil Dragon, outwardly appearing to be consumed by rage, was inwardly so bold, meticulous, and possessed such remarkable composure?
He actually followed the script, played out the act, gave himself a 'wrap-up' scene, and then went back into the shadows to bide his time?!
This temperament, this willpower... Who could underestimate him?
Shendu... terrifying as he is!
Although this was just his own speculation, putting himself in their shoes, he, a junior Immortal whose cultivation years were far less than these Demons, possessed various magical techniques such as concealing heavenly secrets, deducing celestial numbers, and 'moving flowers and grafting trees'...
Although the Heavenly Dao's intelligence reduction was fatal, if it were Immortals like them, they could still struggle.
But what about Shendu?
This is a renowned Evil Dragon Sorcerer!
His magical techniques couldn't possibly be inferior to those young Immortals who have only lived for less than a century, could they?
Thinking of this, Lü Dongbin cast a respectful glance at Shendu's stone sculpture. This was a 'wolf man'!
Even more ruthless than a ruthless person!
However, despite being startled by Shendu's 'true face,' Lü Dongbin would still not let go of the twelve talismans.
These talismans were not only liked by the group members, but Lü Dongbin, as an Immortal, was also very interested.
But getting them without hidden dangers still required considerable effort... Putting aside Lü Dongbin's actions, Hermes also didn't get involved in the group members' enthusiastic discussion about the twelve talismans, but instead turned his gaze back to reality.
Because.
His subordinates were finally about to gain top-tier combat power!
