Chapter 991: The Root
Chapter 991: The Root (Part )
"To put it simply, you are one of my people... or my people when I was alive."
After waiting for a while without seeing Leon's answer, the light-shadow-like "Stairway to God" frowned and then began to explain:
“I am not the step you think I am. I just used the sound it recorded. As for the purple-black origin clay tablet outside, it is used to screen you and others. Because except for us who are born to face the source, any other living being’s understanding of power has a fixed upper limit.
For example, the Pillar God as you understand it, the limit of the Pillar God is the fifty-level long step of the single power to become a god. Once the fifty-level is exceeded in a single power, the corresponding power will be transformed into truth, and the second power can no longer be pushed to the fifty-level, and the upper limit is ninety-nine levels at most.
We are different. We are born to face the root and are not subject to such restrictions... Although you took advantage of the situation and got to level 59 from that human and the Pillar God's heart, you can still reach more than 100 levels on the Long Stairs to Godhood, so you must be one of my people!"
"..."
I think I understand a little bit...
After listening to Fuzzy Light and Shadow's confident judgment, Leon couldn't help but speak tentatively:
"So... the thickness of the upper mud slab is roughly equivalent to the '100-step' long stairway to godhood. Only people above the 100th step can come down?"
"Yes, but it's not that only people above level 100 can come down, but only we can be above level 100."
After correcting Leon's statement, the Long Stairway to God hesitated for a moment, then replied somewhat reluctantly:
"At least that's the case most of the time."
Most of the time?
Leon was slightly startled when he heard this, and then asked:
"You mean there are exceptions?"
"That's right..."
After clearly revealing a somewhat difficult expression, “God-ascending Long Stairs” spoke helplessly:
"About five or six thousand years ago, a human killed more than one Pillar God, and then withstood the siege of a group of True Gods. He used a method similar to yours to break through the screening layer of the Origin Clay Tablet, broke into here, and woke me up once.
I almost mistook him for you, but luckily he arrived thousands of years earlier than expected, so I checked and found that he had taken advantage of the situation, so I drove him out of here."
"..."
Thousands of years ago... he killed more than one Pillar God... and was able to break into the Source God Platform despite being besieged by a group of True Gods...
Isn’t that the third generation old man?
When the wretched figure of the square-headed old man appeared in his mind, the corners of Leon's mouth twitched violently twice.
No wonder he was so ridiculously strong, it turned out that he had also "spying" on the roots... No! It should be because he was ridiculously strong that he was able to break in and see the roots, and the secret he wanted to hide mysteriously was probably related to this root.
"Anyway, even though there was a mistake, you will definitely be fine!"
After slightly boosting his spirits, the figure in the tone of "God's Stairway" looked at Leon and said with certainty:
"Even if we exclude the Pillar God's Heart and that not-so-intelligent human, you can still reach 3 levels on the Stairway to Godhood by yourself. So even though there was a slight mistake in the timing, judging from your talent and what you have done, you are definitely number !"
Something went wrong with the timing...with me and what I was doing...
Upon hearing this, Leon couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked:
"Can you tell me what exactly I am doing..." "Of course, I am ruling the entire Plane 3!"
As if he could see through Leon's past and future, after looking at Leon with admiration, the blurry figure smiled and said:
"Although we have mixed in the blood of other races, we are born to face the roots and see through the essence. We are born to be above all living beings, and we naturally want to rule everything."
"?!!"
In Leon's suddenly constricted pupils, the blurry figure commented with a hint of surprise:
"No. 3, I just read your past. I originally thought that you would try to rule a human kingdom first, then rule all of humanity, and then extend your tentacles into the Cleanup Bureau and other races, and finally unify the entire world. But you actually took control of the Cleanup Bureau first.
Hmm... If you think about it carefully, it would be faster to do it this way. Whether it is to rule the world from the bottom up, or to directly seize the human organization called the Cleanup Bureau and then rule the world from the top down, the final result is the same... Number 3? Why don't you say anything? "
"..."
Because I was in shock about my brother’s identity…
Thinking back to William, who had set "great ambitions" since childhood and had been working hard to unify the world, Lyon couldn't help but close his eyes, then silently switched on [Master of Performance] to suppress his twitching facial muscles.
I have been dreaming about unifying the world since I was in primary school. I can always see the essence of things at a glance, plus the so-called error of more than ten years... There will definitely not be another kid like him. Now I am 3% sure that the No. you are waiting for is not me but William!
So you are definitely waiting for the wrong person this time. It is not a time error that caused "No. 3" to arrive more than ten years earlier. It is that the No. 3 you are waiting for, who will rule the human race, is now squatting in my house to finish his summer homework. If he can't finish it, he might get beaten...
This is really... There are three people in total from Anna's photo, and it turns out that one is a time traveler with a cheat, and the other is William's brother who is suspected to be of an unknown race. None of them are good people... By the way, could Melanie have some strange origin?
After deciding to check the two little bastards carefully when he returned, Leon touched his "heart" which had fainted at some point, and then he used his acting skills to the fullest, asking with a confused look on his face:
"But if I am one of your people, then why don't I have my own memories?"
"You've been dead for who knows how long as I have, so you shouldn't have any memories... Never mind, it's too late to tell."
After forcing himself to talk to Leon for a few words, the blurry light began to flicker, and he said in an annoyed voice:
"I should have had time to explain everything to you, but that square-headed human who accidentally barged in not only woke me up from my slumber, but also wasted the rest of my time.
"Alas... No. 3, I don't have enough time to explain the whole process to you in the short time I have left. You can ask someone else for the details!"
"Who to look for? Where to go?"
"Go to that old place you know, and find ..."
"Who are you looking for?"
"..."
"?"
"Zi~"
"???"
Looking at the blurred light and shadow that was like the snow on an old TV, it sizzled twice and then went black, disappearing completely. Leon couldn't help but feel a little numb.
No... you have the time to talk about so much nonsense, but in the end, why don't you finish talking about the most important thing, who should you go to?
