◎It said I once told a lie◎
As a place for worshipping gods, the Vatican has always been very quiet, especially the core areas where no one except the Pope is allowed to enter.
Therefore, Gu Qian'an had plenty of time to wait for Yuanqiu to finish its tangle and tell him the truth. After all, from its appearance, it seemed that the thing had already happened and the tangle was beyond dispute. Yuanqiu just didn't know how to tell him.
Sure enough, after preparing himself mentally, Yuanqiu immediately told him everything.
'Actually, I told a lie in the Vatican.'
Gu Qi'an was stunned when he heard this, "Are you trying to say that this lie has been exposed now?"
The ball shook its head. It once told Gu Qian that the reason why it was needed to intervene in the war was because both sides of the war plundered too many resources, resulting in the remaining energy being unable to supply the operation of the world. This world was about to be destroyed before the plot began.
In order to improve their own strength and defeat the aliens, the superpowers at that time plundered all visible energy and tried their best to push the superpowers to a high level.
At this point, Yuanqiu suddenly asked Gu Qian a question, "This world divides high-level psychics into three levels. SS-level is considered to have entered the realm of gods. What do you think is the standard they use to draw the line between humans and gods?"
This question actually came to Gu Qian'an. He had never thought about this matter. After all, the combat power system setting of a world is like a consensus. Everyone divides the levels according to it, and almost no one has thought about why it was created.
"In fact, the classification of the esper levels that you know now was re-established after the appearance of me, the God," the ball explained.
Originally, everyone in the comic world believed that S-level was the pinnacle of superpowers. After all, whether it was an alien or a superpower, the strongest combat power of both sides was only S-level.
Until the gods came, their powerful strength shocked everyone, and people realized that S-level was not the focus of power.
So they begin to desire to become stronger and enter a higher realm.
"But the reason why I intervened in the world at the risk of being hunted down by the laws is to stop them from endlessly plundering energy as they become stronger," the ball's voice was somewhat lifeless, "If my existence speeds up their plunder of energy, then wouldn't everything I do be meaningless?"
But Yuanqiu also knows that the superpowers are not wrong. Anyone who has experienced a war that almost wiped out the entire human race will desire to become stronger and desire to have the ability to protect themselves and then protect others and their homeland.
"So I came up with a brilliant idea," it glanced at Gu Qian quietly, "I told them that because this world is blessed by me, even if the people in this world break through the boundaries of humanity, their consciousness will only be erased and become a part of me, turning into my body when I descend to the human world."
The sphere is the only god in this world. The SS level represents demigods, and the SSS level represents gods. It does not mean the emergence of new gods, but the degree of integration with the old god.
At this point, it quickly explained, "But this is really something I made up to scare them. As long as the energy is enough to reach SS-level and SSS-level, they will not merge with me."
A few days ago, it boasted to Gu Qian'an that it could help him reach SS level, and the progress bar was about to reach 100%, but then the words it had said came back to haunt it like a boomerang.
The ball tried hard to open its eyes wide, wanting to perfectly convey its thoughts through the window of its mind.
——I’m really not a bad person, please believe me!
Gu Qi'an was stunned when he heard this. He didn't think that far ahead. Not to mention that the contract certified by the law is absolutely fair and just, Yuanqiu would not have the opportunity to find loopholes to harm him. Besides...
"Don't worry, I know you," he touched the smooth outer shell of the ball, "you don't have the brains to support you to plot against me from the first time you met me."
The smile that Yuanqiu had just put on when he heard the first half of the sentence instantly fell back, but Gu Qian'an did not give it a chance to get angry.
"Since the energy required to reach SS level will have an impact on this world, can I stop my progress in upgrading?"
Upon hearing this, the ball flew up high and patted Gu Qi'an on the head, "Things are different now. After comics are published in the higher-dimensional world, the energy provided by readers is enough for us to get rid of poverty and become rich."
As a consciousness, the sphere will certainly not make decisions that would undermine the stability of the world.
Gu Qian'an finally felt relieved, but he suddenly remembered another thing.
'Wait, who knows what you just said?'
An Qi's current external goal is to merge with Blue Crystal to become a god, and he will soon enter the SS level. If the 'true' meaning of the SS level is known to everyone, then in the eyes of readers, won't An Qi eventually become a part of the god?
Moreover, the most important thing about An Qi’s character is that he owns the script. He definitely knows that humans will be assimilated by the gods after they reach the peak, so this conflicts with his purpose!
The ball didn't know what Gu Qian was thinking. It recalled carefully for a while, 'Not many people know about this matter. After all, there were only a few people who were qualified to strive for SS level back then.'
The ball has always been very self-aware and is not good at lying, so it did not spread the matter widely, but only found a way to reveal it to qualified people.
Apart from those who died in the war, those who were killed by the Vatican's blue crystal experiment after the war, and those who were killed by Gu Qinan, those who are still alive now...
"The only people who know about this now are probably Fang Jianling and Bai Lezhan," Yuanqiu said hesitantly, "and maybe Gu Luming's soul can be added to the mix."
This answer made Gu Qian'an feel a little relieved. In order to ensure that his plan could go smoothly, Fang Jianling would not reveal anything to An Mo.
Gu Luming's soul is trapped in obsession by her own supernatural powers, forever repeating the last day before her death. Although she is conscious, if she wants to know the news hidden deep in her memory, she must take the initiative to ask. An Mo, who knows nothing about the hidden rules of the supernatural level classification, will never mention this matter after seeing her deceased mother.
Therefore, there is only one person that Gu Qian'an needs to worry about, and that is Bai Lezhan.
…
Jade Mountain City.
When he stood on the land of Yushan City again, Gu Qian'an simply couldn't recognize the scene before him.
The city that was originally as dull as a pool of stagnant water and even the city walls exuded a coldness is now thriving. The superpowers on the road are talking freely in groups of three or five. There are even snack stalls on both sides of the road, and the store owners are standing on the stalls shouting loudly.
The camp has been demolished, and the psychics who came to seek medical treatment stayed directly in the hotels in the city. Bai Lezhan hired many healing psychics to treat those who could be cured, but the vast majority of people who came to seek medical treatment still chose to become residents here after experiencing the current Yushan City. Long queues have formed at the place where household registration identity certificates are issued.
The increase in population also led to the expansion of Yushan City. The originally abandoned site on the back mountain was once again incorporated into the town. The construction psychic waved his hand and the foundation of the house was easily laid.
"This ability looks familiar." Although the humanoid's face was unfamiliar, the familiar ability still allowed Gu Qian'an to recognize that the other party was one of the psychics who had transformed into an alien species.
A careful observation revealed that the people in charge of the construction were all psychics who originally lived underground, and Kingsman even supervised the work himself.
"I wonder if they thought about rebuilding Yushan City when they were trying so hard to destroy it." Gu Qi'an said with a hint of smile in his voice.
He was happy. His previous efforts had paid off. The superpowers here now had a peaceful and stable life. Everything in Yushan City was developing in a good direction.
The densely packed notices of rules and regulations in the town have disappeared, with only one still posted at the city gate.
Bai Lezhan made his special abilities known to the public, told the world his way of rescue, and placed the only rule in the most prominent position - do not attack kind-hearted people.
Seeing this rule that had caused him so much trouble, Gu Qian'an felt a headache. He quickly shifted his sight and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion with the ball, which was a little out of breath after flying at high speed.
"Besides, Bai Lezhan is indeed the most suitable person to be a ruler among these high-level psychics," Yuanqiu said with a sigh of relief, "Yushan City can now be said to be the most livable place in the world."
Quanzhang City is still under reconstruction, and Dingyuan City has fallen into endless chaos after Mo Jin's death. Everyone thinks they are powerful and wants to become the master of this town. Only Yushan City is peaceful like a paradise.
As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
The protective cover of the City Lord's Mansion has been removed. Through the open window, one can see Bai Lezhan standing in front of the window on the second floor, wondering what he is thinking about.
After entering the room, Gu Qian'an discovered that Bai Lezhan was holding a folded piece of letter paper in his hand.
"What's going on?" Yuanqiu was a little confused. "Except for Jinsian, Bai Lezhan's former comrades have all passed away. Who would write to him?"
But Gu Qinan suddenly thought of a person, 'An Mo.'
As the protagonist of the comic, it is normal for him to contact someone who has turned over a new leaf and has half a foot in the protagonist's camp.
In particular, although Feng Yang's ability did not significantly increase the group's power, when it worked on himself, it was enough for him to travel back and forth between Yushan City and the Vatican in a very short time.
"But why did An Mo look for Bai Lezhan?" Yuanqiu didn't expect that An Mo was looking for Bai Lezhan because he had no motivation to communicate with him. Even if the two of them had a deep friendship, they couldn't keep in touch with each other at such a critical moment, right?
As he was speaking, Bai Lezhan turned around and took out a piece of paper from the cabinet beside him. Gu Qian took a closer look and found that this was the contract he signed when he joined the Alien Hunting Team.
Now that the alien species around Yushan City have completely disappeared, the only purpose of this contract is to allow the signatory to enjoy the protection of Bai Lezhan's supernatural powers.
Bai Lezhan's supernatural powers surged throughout his body, and the words on the paper began to change. The subject of the contract changed from an individual to the rebels. As long as Yu Ranqi, the leader, signed it, the contract would take effect immediately.
Gu Qian'an knew that Bai Lezhan had nothing to do with the rebels, and the only reason he did this was because of An Mo's request.
He and the ball looked at each other, and suddenly a guess came to his mind, 'Is An Mo trying to concentrate all his power to overthrow the royal family and the church?'
Such a reckless move doesn't seem like a decision that An Mo would make.
