Chapter 721 The Anchor of the World(1/2)
Bai Qiyun looked around and found no one, but the voice was definitely in his ears.
He looked at the spear in his hand. The sound came after he picked up the spear, indicating that it was related to it.
'That's a good guess, but it's somewhat different from the facts.'
The voice sounded again, but this time the answer it brought was not what Bai Qiyun thought.
Hearing this, Bai Qiyun frowned slightly.
"Oh? You mean..."
'I am both you and not you, but this issue involves philosophy and is not the focus of the discussion now.'
It seems that something happened to him in the future, making the other person look dazed.
'The fact that you are here means that you have begun to explore your own potential. This is a good idea, but if you do not deepen your understanding of the world and yourself, you will never be able to break through the near-god realm and reach a new peak of power.
'
"What's the meaning."
'...It seems you haven't realized it yet, so let's put it another way, what do you think someone close to God is?'
Listening to the voice of the future, Bai Qiyun fell into deep thought.
Although he had previously realized that breaking through the essence of near-gods was the sublimation of his own life form, but after hearing him say this, he himself became somewhat unconfident.
"In my opinion, those who are close to gods are nothing more than powerful creatures that have mastered part of the laws of the operation of all things in the world."
'Well, it's very close to the truth, but not quite accurate.'
The voice paused for a moment before continuing.
'As we all know, the sign of the near-god realm is the ability to master some of the weakened powers of demon gods. However, in fact, this so-called 'power' is nothing more than the rules that govern the operation of the world. As long as conditions permit, everyone can actually master this seemingly powerful power.
The law of exaggeration.'
'For example, when an apple falls to the ground, water flows down, and light fills the entire room. This common sense is essentially the same as the power in the hands of gods, but people can use them very easily.'
'So, the laws of all things in the world are actually divided into levels. The common sense we know in daily life is only the most basic law, and the powers controlled by those close to gods and demons are higher-level laws.'
These words deepened Bai Qiyun's understanding of the world to another level.
'It is precisely for this reason that if you want to master higher-level laws, you must make yourself stronger and further break restrictions.'
"Then what is the difference between this and what I call the evolution of the essence of life?" Lan
Even so, Bai Qiyun knew that the other party must have a different answer.
Sure enough, after a few seconds of silence, his future self gave a completely different response.
'Because the evolution of the essence of life is nothing more than an external manifestation, all these further mastery of the laws are actually the opening of 'authority'.'
"Permissions?"
It is another new term that has never been heard before, but after Bai Qiyun thought about it for a while, he felt that using this term to describe the current situation of the world is very appropriate.
'Yes, the evolution of life is to obtain higher authority, so that it can use higher-level laws. This is the truth of breaking through the near-god realm.'
This sentence doesn't sound like much at first, but when Bai Qiyun thought about it deeply, he was extremely frightened.
Permissions... what exactly does this stuff mean.
'Okay, don't think about it, that's not the opponent you can face now.'
As soon as these words came out, Bai Qiyun suddenly thought of a problem that had troubled the people of Teyvat for a long time.
"Since this is me in the future, I think you should know the truth about the day of the Kuroshio."
Bai Qiyun responded with a moment of silence, as if he didn't want to mention this in the future.
After a while, the voice let out a long sigh.
‘That’s all. You will have to face this matter sooner or later. Listen up, your real enemy is——’ Lan
Bai Qiyun waited for the next step, but after more than ten seconds, the voice failed to say the name.
"Who is my enemy?"
But what responded to him was a vague voice, like the sound of a message that had been folded and scrambled.
‘——’
After a long time, he from the future seemed to sense something was wrong.
'I see, can't you hear it now?'
To know the true form of the enemy also requires strength, but with Bai Qiyun's current strength it is far from enough.
'You are still too weak now. I'm afraid not knowing is also a good thing for you. Don't pursue it, don't think about it. Finding out the truth too early is not a good thing for you or the world. Wait until you are strong enough.
It's time to face the real enemy again, otherwise you will end up defeated like me.'
So the result of the Kuroshio Day was defeat, then it’s not surprising why the world became like this.
Bai Qiyun secretly remembered the other party's words in his heart.
"Speaking of which, it must have been your work to recruit me to this era."
Since the opponent is such a terrifying existence, he should not be much worse in the future. It is not too unusual to be able to summon humans across time and space.
'That's right.'
"But even if you can't solve the problem, there's no point in calling me over." Lan
Even though he has seen the painful scene in the future, Bai Qiyun does not feel that he has the ability to change everything.
After all, he can't even listen to the enemy's name now.
'No, you have something that I don't have now, and it can change the world.'
"thing?"
'That's right, it's the spear in your hand. If I remember correctly, it's been a while since you got it. Do you really understand it?'
Hearing this, Bai Qiyun lowered his head and looked at the silver spear in his hand. The feeling of being connected to him by blood was indeed extraordinary.
But other than that...there's nothing special about it.
"Does being able to absorb the power of the devil count?"
'That's just a demonstration of its ability.'
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay, I really don't know."
Bai Qiyun tried to wave the spear, but in the sea of consciousness, the spear seemed to have taken root. No matter how he waved it, he could not shake it at all.
This is really strange, why can't he even urge him to move the spear even though he obviously has the same intention as him?
'The existence of the gun is much older than you think. You must have heard from Bai Linglong that you have more than one previous life, and as far as I know, this gun was born when you and I originated. In other words, it
Your existence is proof of your past.'
Bai Qiyun looked at the flawless silver-white spear in his hand, and it was hard to imagine that it had gone through such a long time.
But his subconscious told him that this was true.
'You must bear in mind what I am about to say, and do not tell anyone until the time comes.'
His voice in the future suddenly became a little thicker and more serious, as if he was warning.
Bai Qiyun swallowed subconsciously and listened carefully.
'This gun represents the source of your power, but its role is far more than that. Its existence is the anchor that fixes the world. It is the cornerstone of the entire world of Teyvat.'
As soon as these words came out, Bai Qiyun was instantly shocked.
He quickly put the spear in his hand in front of him and looked at it carefully.
But I didn't find anything strange about the spear.
"World Anchor?"
'Yes, with it we can reverse the current world and restore it to the way it should have been. This is the power that the Spin Demon Society has been pursuing.'
It wasn't until his future self said these words that Bai Qiyun understood why the future Xuan Mo would keep staring at him.
"But what does this have to do with my breakthrough to the near-god?"
Even the so-called World Anchor Point doesn't have the ability to make people break through in a short time. If it really has that effect, it's been a long time since he got this gun, so why doesn't it show any effect at all?
'Of course it does matter. Since it is the anchor point of the world, it means that this gun has extremely high authority. It is not an exaggeration to call it the pinnacle of the world.'
From the perspective of the future, Bai Qiyun in the future has naturally activated the ability of the spear, which has caused his combat effectiveness to soar rapidly, so he has a clearer understanding of what this spear represents.
'The God of Steel told you before he left that the power he controls is called 'Creation', and that is the power he developed from this spear.'
"Ah...well, what should I do, and imitate him? But this thing didn't respond to me at all."
Bai Qiyun shrugged helplessly. No matter how he used elemental power or shouted on the spear before, the thing was like a dead thing and had no reaction at all.
'Of course, after all, this is your origin. What is needed to activate it is not the power shown on the outside, but your soul and heart.'
"Soul and heart?"
