When he heard the word "chaos", Luo Jiujiang's mood suddenly became blank with shock.
When the Dragon God created the world, he personally divided the primordial chaos into pure air, the heavens, and turbid air, the earth. Since then, the concept of chaos has been largely absent from the world. Even today, some people doubt the existence of chaos. If these two words are taken separately, they are even more ethereal and untraceable than the Dragon God.
At least at Qinglong Academy, Luo Jiujiang had been invited to participate in two similar literary gatherings. Both gatherings recounted events from the distant past, exploring the original forms of exotic beasts from ten thousand years ago, the initial distribution of the Nine Clans, and the specific cultivation and temperament of the Dragon God at the time.
Luo Jiujiang was taught by Zhen Shuangliu and had a solid foundation. He started by memorizing a thick history book and had some experience in this area. Therefore, he was always popular in literary gatherings.
But even so, he was unable to provide any strong evidence to oppose the question raised by the students present: "Could chaos not exist at all?"
Because there is nothing that proves chaos.
The Dragon God was passed down through the generations of the Nine Clans and the Four Elephants, a testimony personally attested to. Most of these exotic beasts possessed inherited memories, and even though these memories faded with the passage of generations, they could still find glimpses of the Dragon God's reign over the Nine Clans.
What's more, Luo Jiujiang himself has personally pledged his lifelong relationship with the son of the Dragon God.
The final outcome of the literary gathering left the students trapped in a strange paradox. Chaos, a thing no one could prove existed, could also be definitively proven. No one knew when it began, nor could they definitively declare its end. Ultimately, the conclusion of their discussion still tangled with mythology—since mythology always attributed chaos to a dragon god, and its subsequent disappearance, that was the way to go for now.
And this chaos, whose origins are completely questionable, has now been encountered by Luo Jiujiang.
But even in this moment of chaos, Luo Jiujiang found it hard to believe this. In comparison, he felt that the "milky" sound was wrong.
You know, the reason why Luo Jiujiang realized something was wrong just now was that he probably sensed the existence of the owner of the "milky" voice, not some kind of chaos.
This situation could happen because either Luo Jiujiang was trapped in chaos as soon as he stepped into the heart of the mountain; or this chaos was no different from the ordinary environment in the heart of the mountain.
From Luo Jiujiang's own perception, the most striking characteristic of this chaos seemed to be its lack of characteristics. Standing within it, Luo Jiujiang felt no difference from standing in holy ground. He tried swinging his blade a few times, and the momentum remained constant, unimpeded. Chaos not only felt ordinary, but also seemingly harmless.
But if it is really harmless to humans and animals, then why did the Dragon God use all his strength to open the sky?
Is it just because it's so dark here?
Luo Jiujiang was baffled by this, so he temporarily put the question aside and went to talk to the owner of the milky voice. Learning from his previous experience of being directly imitated, he spoke concisely and got straight to the point: "Who are you?"
“I, I, I…”
I don’t know if this friend hiding in the dark has some evil taste or really has only the mind of a child. He pronounced the word “I” like “goose”, as if he would flap his big white wings and sing to the sky with his neck raised in the next second.
After mumbling the word "I" several times, the voice changed to ask in confusion, "Who am I?"
"..." If I want to know this question, then why would I bother asking you again? And why do you sound more innocent and helpless than me?
Now the person who was choked and speechless was Luo Jiujiang.
It is said that the three worst questions to ask are "Who am I?", "Where am I?" and "What am I going to do?" Luo Jiujiang had inadvertently broken such a cardinal rule, so it was no wonder he was left speechless when questioned.
Realizing that his question was inappropriate, Luo Jiujiang silently reflected on it in his heart and quickly changed the question: "What do others call you?"
The owner of this milky voice grunted twice, as if he was thinking and recalling something. After a moment, he happily replied, "Ball!"
Just by listening to the sound, it seemed as if he was proudly puffing out his chest at the same time, he was so proud that it couldn't be more.
Luo Jiujiang: “…” Is this also a name?
He sighed subconsciously: "It might as well be called Bangchui..."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Jiujiang realized something was wrong. Sure enough, the next moment, the owner of the voice clapped his hands and laughed happily, "Ball and hammer quack! Hahaha!"
Luo Jiujiang unfortunately understood the meaning of his words and realized that "gua la gua" was a nickname for "ji li gua la". He then realized that he seemed to have regarded the word "bangchui" as his own name.
Luo Jiujiang was trapped in his own web and had nothing to say. He could only swallow his blood silently.
But the next moment he suddenly realized: No, the word "ball" is not called for nothing!
You must know that the Dragon God’s weapon, that ball of the essence of the five elements that can be shaped at will, is exactly the shape of a ball!
Of course, a more pleasant term would be "Pearl of the Five Elements." However, judging from Luo Jiujiang's brief encounter with the Dragon God, he was a straightforward, uninhibited, and open-minded person, especially given his impressive stature. A weapon he could wield couldn't be a small one; a large, round bead like that would likely have him respond with a "What's all this fancy talk? It's just a ball!"
"That, the ball..." Luo Jiujiang pronounced the name dryly, and for the first time he felt that his speaking skills were not yet perfect.
