The Liang Tian Chi, the entire artifact, leaped into the air. Although it had been roaring at the little plum blossom in front of it, its words were entirely of thought.
Who would have imagined that this little plum blossom could not only hear it but also engage in a conversation with questions and answers!
Xu Fang was also startled by the Liang Tian Chi's flustered demeanor and felt confused.
He heard the Liang Tian Chi's words and replied; wasn't that a natural course of events?
"What is it, Brother Liang Tian Chi? Is there a problem with this?"
Having seen the Liang Tian Chi's arrogance in the chat group, Xu Fang knew that going along with its personality would earn him more favor.
Therefore, he genuinely couldn't see any problem with his current humble and polite approach!
"There's a problem! A huge problem!"
The entire Liang Tian Chi artifact trembled and responded loudly.
However, seeing Xu Fang's completely bewildered expression, it knew this matter was inextricably linked to Xu Fang. It quickly sought help from the outside audience.
[Liang Tian Chi: Hey, hey, hey, Huang Zhong Li, what's going on with your little plum blossom? How can he hear me speaking?]
[Huang Zhong Li: Nonsense! I helped this kid form a human body precisely because I wanted someone to talk to. Do you expect me to raise a mute?]
[Liang Tian Chi: No, no, that's not what I mean. I'm asking how he can hear me when we are artifacts?]
[Tai Ji Tu: Oh? Now that you mention it, I understand. Logically speaking, even if we artifacts speak, others should absolutely not be able to hear us!]
[Zao Hua Yu Die: That's right. Even someone like Hong Jun couldn't hear the words of the Great Dao that I recited to him; he could only vaguely sense them.]
[Shi Shen Qiang: Indeed, if Luo Hou had been able to sense my intentions 100% back then, and we had merged, the Great Desolation would have been dominated by demons long ago!]
[Hun Dun Zhong: Put away your regrets of unfulfilled ambitions. I think I and Dong Huang Tai Yi had a chance, if he could have truly sensed my intentions!]
[Pan Gu Fan: Wait! Stop arguing. Isn't the current topic about this little plum blossom being able to hear the voices of artifacts and spiritual roots?]
The artifacts in the chat group immediately fell into contemplation.
Artifacts in the Great Desolation world, to varying degrees, possessed self-awareness. The stronger the artifact, the stronger this self-awareness.
And the immortal cultivators who wielded these artifacts often felt an innate connection with the artifact's consciousness, as if divinely aided. This was not an illusion but a real phenomenon.
The more powerful the artifact, the stronger its consciousness, and the more it could make the wielder feel its presence. This was why everyone pursued powerful artifacts.
Not only did they possess greater power, but through this vague communication, battles could become easier.
However, being two different species with different forms, communication was extremely unstable and often led to misunderstandings.
For someone like Xu Fang, who could communicate with artifacts and spiritual roots without any hindrance, it was naturally enough to make this group of artifacts question their very existence.
They hadn't considered such a possibility before, but now that Liang Tian Chi had brought it up, they were all forced to think about it.
Soon, after a period of deep thought, the Wu Dao Cha Shu (Enlightenment Tea Tree) was the first to grasp the logic of the matter and spoke to enlighten everyone.
[Wu Dao Cha Shu: Let me enlighten everyone. Please lend me your ears. This matter is neither strange nor unusual. You'll understand if you consider the origin and background of this little plum blossom. He was originally a spiritual root that transformed into a human. With the assistance of Huang Zhong Li, it's perfectly normal for him to be able to hear the voices of artifacts.]
Upon hearing the Wu Dao Cha Shu's words, everyone suddenly realized the truth.
[Huang Zhong Li: So that's how it is! I always said this little brother of mine was remarkably spiritual. He truly is a divinely favored blade of grass!]
[Tai Ji Tu: Precisely, precisely. I had a good feeling about this kid from the start, and now it's proven that my judgment was excellent.]
[Hun Dun Zhong: If Dong Huang Tai Yi had this ability, I wouldn't be so bored now. I could invite him out for battles!]
[Shi Shen Qiang: Stop talking. If Luo Hou had this ability, I would have been the number one supreme artifact in the Great Desolation long ago. You are all mere subordinates!]
[Qing Ping Jian: What you said is quite provocative, but I have to admit, there's a real possibility!]
[Pan Gu Fan: Cough, cough. That Liang Tian Chi, you looked down on the little plum blossom, didn't you? Quickly reject him and send him back where he came from!]
[Tai Ji Tu: Indeed, indeed. This little plum blossom has no impressive background and no heaven-defying talent. He is simply not suited for great responsibilities. It would be better to wait for me to assist him!]
[Hun Dun Zhong: Logically speaking, if he could defeat Dong Huang Tai Yi, I wouldn't be opposed to joining him.]
[Shi Shen Qiang: Forget about it. Among all of us here, none are as unburdened as I am. I should be the one to help this little plum blossom!]
Very quickly, everyone's tone changed. From previously advising Liang Tian Chi to submit to Xu Fang, they now urged Liang Tian Chi to reject Xu Fang.
Upon hearing this, Liang Tian Chi immediately understood the thoughts of these artifacts. They simply wanted the opportunity to become artifacts in the hands of the little plum blossom themselves.
After all, a master who could communicate with artifacts without any barriers was a dream come true for any artifact.
Not only would they be in perfect sync during battles, understanding each other's intentions and unleashing their maximum power, but they could also have lively conversations while traveling the Great Desolation, perhaps even sharing bedtime stories. Wasn't that much more interesting than an artifact talking to itself all the time?
Therefore, after discerning the ulterior motives of these individuals, Liang Tian Chi directly chose to refuse!
[Liang Tian Chi: I'm sorry, I refuse! No, I don't mean I refuse the little plum blossom; I've decided to accept his request! I didn't want to, but he called me Big Brother!]
[Tai Ji Tu: No, weren't you just being resolute, saying you'd rather rot away than join him?]
[Pan Gu Fan: Exactly. As an artifact, you must have your original intentions. You can't go back on your word!]
[Shi Shen Qiang: That's right. I think you should reconsider carefully. Once you become someone else's artifact, you lose your freedom!]
They all urged Liang Tian Chi to calm down, to exercise restraint, and not to agree to this little plum blossom so easily.
Only Huang Zhong Li remained silent, filled with a smile. He was naturally even happier than his little brother that he had such an artifact.
Liang Tian Chi completely ignored the words of these artifacts, knowing they were all trying to find an opportunity for themselves.
Liang Tian Chi decisively closed the chat group and looked at Xu Fang in front of him, speaking slowly.
"Since you have sincerely requested it, and called me Big Brother, I, Liang Tian Chi, am not an ungrateful artifact."
"Therefore, I have decided to accept your request and become an artifact in your hands, assisting you!"
Liang Tian Chi's immediate acceptance of Xu Fang's words was noteworthy. While there were countless individuals more powerful than Xu Fang, those who could communicate with artifacts were probably unique in the entire Great Desolation.
This was not Xu Fang's opportunity; it was his own!
