Chapter 182
Based on the conjecture of "artificial gods", everything seems to have a traceable basis.
In the beginning, when he was still not used to the two completely different identities of Yu Tu and Buyehou, he used Buyehou's body to do ooc actions. If it was reflected truthfully in the comics, Buyehou's boss character would not have been established from the beginning.
Although most of the comics are facts, from the perspective of an observer, they have been committed to guiding the Never-Night Marquis in a mysterious and reliable direction. If such guidance continues, when the barrier is broken and the inner and outer worlds discover that the comics have come true, the image of the Never-Night Marquis has been established.
When readers realize that Buyehou really exists, or that they need his help, based on a certain level of knowledge, the "energy" fed back to him by the comics will increase tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold, or even ten thousandfold.
It seemed as if everything was destined, just like the riddle-telling letter he sent to [Mirror]:
【Listen carefully, senior, [seeing through everything] is not my talent, I don’t have time. 】
At that time, he just hoped to deceive as much information as he could, but he didn't expect that his brief reply would all come true.
When do we need God most?
People need God most when disaster strikes.
God can listen to the prayers of believers and predict impending disasters. In the minds of the general public, God is omnipotent.
Understand the causes of all things and know the results of all things.
How could [Insight into Everything] be his talent? This is clearly a power that is automatically formed after the energy gathers, and it belongs to the "God".
It is highly likely that his true [talent] has not awakened, and the [talent] he reflects belongs to the Lord of Buye - because he and the Lord of Buye share the same consciousness, so even if it is spiritual power flowing in his body and energy flowing in the Lord of Buye's body, because their souls are connected, they naturally show the same "characteristics".
So he pushed open the door to test it, but as a plant race, he detected a talent of insight that should not belong to him.
After the talent test, Yu Tu secretly went to ask the clan leader, who told him that he was the second person who was compatible with the [Mirror]. He asked who the first person was, and the clan leader said it was Di Changqing.
Before becoming [Mirror], his identity was Di Ting. As Di Changqing is his bloodline heir, it is normal for him to get along well with him.
What about him? Why does he fit in with the mirror?
Yu Tu had always been puzzled.
But today, he had a vague understanding that [Mirror] had lived in a dark land for thousands of years. Later, his consciousness was channeled into a magical instrument that had existed since ancient times and became a magic weapon to protect mankind, which lasted for hundreds of years.
Hundreds of years have passed, and no matter what happened in the long river of time, there will always be people who truly appreciate [Mirror], trust [Mirror], admire [Mirror], and regard him as a god.
The ability displayed by [Mirror] is similar to insight. He should also possess some of the qualities of a god, which is why Yu Tu can get along with him.
Di Changqing is the bloodline descendant, and he is... the resonance of the gods.
But the [mirror] fell off.
Just like the old court that he swallowed, the old court was once called the Divine Court, located on a world tree ten thousand meters high, and the top part was called Asgard.
The gods live above Asgard. They look down on the human world from ten thousand meters above, witnessing the changes and sufferings of the world. They provide guidance to humans at critical moments, preserve the flame of civilization, and prevent the human heritage from being cut off.
But the seemingly omnipotent gods still fell in the face of disasters. With the passage of time, the temple of gods no longer existed and the gods became legends.
In the former divine palace, humans lived in Midgate to reproduce and pass on their heritage. In the Kingdom of Mist above Midgate, lived the messengers of gods and the wise men who guided humans.
God and human beings are inseparable.
So, ten thousand meters above the sky, are the gods in the divine palace really born naturally by heaven and earth?
Maybe...they are also man-made gods.
According to historical records, disasters occurred almost simultaneously in both the East and the West. The gods of the West fell, and the ancient beast traditions of the East were cut off.
In ancient times, humans worshipped totems. Totems are beliefs and are also gods.
This is also a man-made god.
All the "gods" disappeared in the disaster, and the disaster and the gods disappeared together, leaving only an endless barrier that runs through the East and the West, dividing the world into two.
If the barrier separating the inner and outer worlds is about to break, does it mean that disaster is about to strike again?
Yu Tu didn't dare to answer "yes" directly, but his intuition told him that it was right.
The contents of his reply, which was like a mystery teller, hit him right between the eyebrows like a spinning bullet.
【There is no time.】
That’s why the comics try so hard to guide us, why Director Jiang is so sharp and anxious, and why the organization behind Di Changqing tries to plant Robert so that the world will no longer face the end...
Once we realize this, it seems that the boundary between black and white is no longer so clear. It seems that everyone is trying to prevent the disaster from happening or reduce the impact of the disaster in their own way, but no one knows which way is right.
No one knows whether the path they have chosen will slow down the occurrence of disasters or accelerate the demise of the world.
No one will know until the last moment.
The white light spot that fell on Yu Tu's palm has slowly melted into his skin and integrated into the energy flowing in his body.
Yu Tu slowly withdrew his hand.
This gift may be intentional or unintentional, but the person who can answer it will truly return to time.
Yu Tu stared at the crude statue. He had a lot to say, but in the end he just said thank you.
Without the blessing of the bright moon, it might have taken him a long time to realize the essence of energy and what the world was about to face.
Yu Tu opened his palms, and an exquisite wooden box appeared in his hands. The wooden box contained a brilliant starry sky, which was the last remains of the bright moon.
During the time when he was unconscious, Liu Jialai delivered a letter to the teahouse, which stated the results of the handling of Anxin Group. A small half of a damaged mermaid pearl was also attached to the envelope.
Yu Tu took out the mermaid pearl and placed it into the Milky Way. The Milky Way rippled and gently surrounded the broken pearl, smoothing out the scars on it.
In the materialized memory fragments, Jiaoyue and Bailicheng said goodbye, and she had already handed over everything.
Mermaids love freedom by nature, but it is the responsibility and family ties that make her confine herself to a prison and willingly accept it. As a mermaid, for the sake of her children, she has not returned to the seaside where she grew up for a long time.
She just wanted to do what she could and go home, but this delay lasted for many years.
Yu Tu brought the wooden box to the beach. The waves were still tirelessly beating against the shore, delivering a gift from the sea.
Yu Tu placed the wooden box on the crest of the wave. The surging waves stopped at that moment, and then the waves rolled back, taking the wooden box away. The sea water gently carried it down, and the box was decomposed in the process of falling. Only the galaxy surrounded the broken pearl. The sea water gently guided them to a safe and quiet place where they would not be disturbed.
That night, people along the coast saw an aurora that never appears in this area. It was like a gorgeous dream.
*
A silver-white light mixed with a little light green suddenly appeared in the air. It slowly rotated clockwise, forming a door that people could pass through.
The little gray cat, who was lying lazily in the nest, was awakened. He raised his head and woofed in confusion.
Yu Tu bent down and touched its head: "Jiaoyue is back home."
Xiao Hui: “Ah!”
Got it!
After adding dog food and snacks to Xiao Hui as usual, Yu Tu opened the drawer that he had not opened for a long time. There was a stack of one-way notes in the drawer.
Yu Tu took out a talisman and shook it lightly. The talisman flew into the air and ignited without wind.
He was originally planning to send a message to Kunlun's headmaster Shi Xu, but he suddenly realized that he had never dealt with Shi Xu before, so naturally he had no trace of her spiritual power.
Yu Tu: “…”
Wrong decision!
He was just about to turn off the sound transmission talisman when it suddenly began to ripple with a familiar wave of spiritual power, and Liu Jia's voice rang out from it.
"Is it Tutu?"
"It's not Yu Tu, it's me."
Even through the sound transmission note, one could hear the shock in Liu Jia's voice: "Senior Buyehou?! You are finally online... No, you are finally willing to contact us!"
Despite all the speculations in recent months, Yu Tu did not tell anyone about the accident of Buyehou. He only announced to the public that "Buyehou has urgent matters to deal with, and the teahouse is temporarily closed. If you have any questions, you can contact him. He represents the owner with full authority."
During this period, he even communicated with [Mirror] and went to the Alien Bureau alone. Not long after, the news of [Mirror]'s death came. Every time he came to add dog food to Xiaohui, many inexplicable sound transmission notes would appear at the door of the teahouse. He didn't recognize the spiritual marks of many people, but they asked him in a roundabout way about the current situation of the Buye Hou, what [Mirror] said to him in the last meeting, and so on.
Yu Tu was very upset, but after a few days, these inexplicable sound transmission notes disappeared inexplicably again.
He found out the reason in the comics—
During the period when Buyehou was "in an emergency", he was in charge of the store on behalf of the owner. This was a normal thing to do, but Tianyan exaggerated the picture of him sitting in the teahouse with Xiao Hui in his arms and daydreaming, and coupled with the numerous and ill-intentioned sound transmission notes surrounding him, Yu Tu seemed to have become a poor little kid who was bullied by strangers when his parents were away.
Buyehou was only in a coma for two months, and the comics didn’t even show the coma scene. But comic readers didn’t know what they had filled in their minds. During these two months, whenever Yu Tu appeared, it was—
[Oh my, why is my Tutu so pitiful!]
[Wife, you’ve been out for too long! The kid is being bullied! ! ! ]
[Tianyan, please draw what my wife is doing! It’s been two months! My wife only exists in other people’s conversations! Is this reasonable? This is unreasonable!]
I don't know if the comic readers' thought processes and those of the elders of the Plant Clan are somehow connected, but the longer Ma Jia is out of contact, the more attention the elders pay to him. Faced with such cautious concerns, Yu Tu could only accept them all with a helpless smile.
Those unfamiliar sound transmission notes were finally collected by the elders of the Grass and Tree Tribe. Anyway, after a few days, all the sound transmission notes with the spiritual power marks that he didn't recognize were gone. After a few more days, all the familiar ones were gone too.
It allowed him to really and truly look after the store quietly.
Yu Tu was distracted for a moment by Liu Jia's voice, but he quickly came back to his senses: "I need to trouble you with something."
Liu Jia's attitude was extremely respectful: "Senior, please speak."
"I need the spiritual power mark of the Lord of Kunlun Mountain." Yu Tu said, "Please send me one."
"Senior, I can't contact the Lord of Kunlun Mountain at my level..." Just by hearing the voice, Yu Tu could imagine the expression of Liu Jia TAT on the other end of the sound transmission talisman, "You think too highly of me..."
"Please flip through the stack of one-way transmission notes..." Liu Jia said, "The last five are specially made. Each one can directly contact our Jiang Bureau."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, sir..." On the other end of the note, Liu Jiagang was happy that Senior Buyehou had contacted him. He was about to ask something else when the note went out.
Liu Jia: “…”
Senior, you are too powerful!
Just when he thought that the trouble had turned around, after hearing Liu Jia say "you're welcome", Yu Tu extinguished the one-way sound transmission talisman neatly. He pulled out a sheet from the end of the stack and lit it skillfully. After a while, Jiang Jiang's spiritual power began to ripple on the sound transmission talisman.
Jiang Jiang's voice sounded a little tired through the sound transmission note: "Hello, Senior Buyehou."
"Director Jiang, I need a favor from you." Yu Tu said, "I need the spiritual power mark of the Lord of Kunlun Mountain."
On the other end of the sound transmission note, Jiang Jiang seemed to pause for a moment before he said, "Excuse me, what do you want to see the Master of Kunlun Mountain for?"
After learning the nature of energy and suspecting that the destruction of the barrier would bring about a great disaster, Yu Tu no longer wanted to be moved. He decided to take the initiative, such as to get in touch with the secrets of Shi Wan who was imprisoned in the wall of Kunlun Mountain.
"If Director Jiang is willing, you can also ask the Master of Kunlun Mountain for me," Yu Tu said, "Do the students of Kunlun need an external teacher?"
As long as you are brave enough, you don't have to be afraid of making up the numbers!
