Chapter 160: The Source of Strength

"yes, we don't know where we're going to go next anyway, so we might as well try a little more. Otherwise, we will never know how wonderful and magnificent our short life will be. The Lord of the Snow grinned. Even if he smiled gently, he was very emperorly, with the majesty of a superior, which made Cheng Yun can't help but think about what the soft white little Lori next to him will look like when she grows up.

The Lord of the Snow looked up at the night sky overhead, he suddenly paused, then looked back at Cheng Yun again, and said with a polite smile: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I forgot that your life is not as short as ours. ”

Cheng Yun shook his head: "I should have been just a mortal, and I have always lived an ordinary life. ”

"But now Your Excellency is the unfallen stars in the sky, and we are only fleeting sparks. ”

"The stars will fall, too. ”

"I'm sorry, it's just a metaphor, I don't know much about the stars of the universe. The Lord of the Snow looked back, "In short, I am grateful for the trust you have placed in me, and I am honored to hand you the first brick and stone for your growth. Of course, I will also selfishly ask you to remember my world and my race, and if one day the descendants of the King of the Snow come to your territory, please take care of them. ”

"Your Excellency is gracious. Cheng Yun tugged at the corners of his mouth, he had to admit that the attitude of the Lord of the Snow Land Commander talking to him had made him a little floating. Fortunately, when he calmed down and thought about it, he still knew that he was not qualified to have the Lord of the Snow Lord respect him so much.

As he said before, if it weren't for the space-time node falling on his head, he would be a mortal, a mortal through and through. He was born on the earth and was an ordinary person, and he would be an ordinary person in ancient times, and he would not be outstanding if he was born in a different world with magic and could cultivate to become an immortal, and even if he was in his twenties, it was very likely that he would just spend his life ordinarily. If he really has the will and perseverance to chase power and fame, if he really has the fighting spirit, he will also shine in this ordinary world.

But did he shine?

No.

Cheng Yun also fantasized about someone giving him a secret book and then becoming an immortal in the world, but the fact is that someone once gave him a lot of Chinese textbooks and mathematics textbooks, and forced him to get up before dawn, write homework and go to bed late, and in the end he still did not become a writer and mathematician.

Strongmen like the Lord of the Snow and the Eagle God are strongmen wherever they are placed, because they have fighting spirit and can overcome boredom and hardship, and are not afraid of failure and death. And Cheng Yun, a salted fish, can't reach the top no matter where it is placed.

But fate gave him a cheat that theoretically allowed him to reach the top no matter how lazy he was, which was dramatic enough.

At this time, the little Lori had already gnawed the roasted braised chicken feet into a pile of broken bones that had been in the ground for decades, and it finally reluctantly let it go, stretched out its pink and tender little tongue and licked its mouth and paws, and pushed the pile of broken bones to the ground.

The Lord of the Snow Land said calmly to Cheng Yun beside him, "Tonight, I will tell you where our power comes from, and how Your Excellency will gain the ability to transcend the saints. ”

Cheng Yun nodded: "Thank you, Lord Commander." ”

The Lord of the Snow still looked at the stars overhead with shining eyes, and said, "The day before yesterday, I communicated with the eagle, and I have to admit that he has read more books than me, has traveled more roads than me, and has done more things than I do, and I have gained a lot of inspiration from him. There are many ways to gain power in our world, because the beings in your world can't gain power like we do, so I can't find the corresponding word in your language, so let's just call it cultivation, or cultivation, cultivation. ”

"As I said, there are many ways of practicing in our world, some of them are mainly based on hard study, some are more focused on mutual communication, and some need to travel in all directions, but none of them are single. Even those of us who can gain abilities from the bloodline as long as we grow up smoothly need to be polished, developed, and learned. ”

"Just like the disciplines of your world, the cultivation of our world is also a very large system. Even because we are longer and stronger than yours, our system is even bigger. ”

"Each practice is different, but they all have the same roots, they are all based on the rules of the universe, so they all have something in common. We acquire different abilities through different practices, and sometimes we learn the principles of other practices in addition to our own practices for reference, but no one of us is so arrogant as to try to master several practices at the same time, which is a very useless act. ”

"Hmm. Cheng Yun listened silently.

The little Lori next to her also opened a pair of big ice blue and transparent eyes, sometimes looking at the night, sometimes looking at the small fish pond or flower bed next to her, shrunk up and lay on the chair.

"What I know is that it took at least tens of millions of years for the original ancestors of the Snow King to inscribe the original abilities of the Snow King into our bloodline, which at the time only allowed us to fight against rulers who lived in the same land as us but were far larger than us. And primitive elves appeared much later than our primitive ancestors. When they appeared, the land was already full of creatures with various abilities, and they survived in the cracks, and it took tens of thousands of years for the bottom creatures to discover the source of their power, and then it took a long time to develop a way to use this power. It's theirs. Later humans and other creatures that had the talent for spellcasting but did not have the ability to bloodline inherited this method. ”

"But now, a lot of things that used to be clearly defined have become blurred. For example, we originally thought that a bloodline that was born with great abilities is a strong bloodline, but now we also call a bloodline that can bring a strong casting talent. For example, some human races can also be born with abilities, and our Snow King will not only polish and develop the abilities in his bloodline, but also practice the day after tomorrow. ”

"So you can rest assured, even in this day and age, even I will find it difficult to create a perfect but false cultivation system, and if I deceive you in this matter, Your Excellency will soon find out about the abnormality. ”

But if you want to acquire this power, whatever means you may do, you must first understand what the source of this power is. ”

"The source of power?" Cheng Yun frowned, a little puzzled, "Isn't the source of everything in the world the origin of the universe?"

"Forehead......" The Lord of the Snow was choked suddenly, and only nodded after a while, with a complicated expression, "Of course, the source of everything in the world is the origin of the universe. But we are not as good as Your Excellency, we may not be able to grasp the origin of the universe for thousands of years of development, and even if we are Your Excellency, it will take many years to master it. So for now, please look a little lower and start with a more basic level. ”

"I'm sorry. "Cheng Yun, who realized that he had unconsciously hit this great commander, apologized very sincerely, and then said respectfully," Qing continued. ”

"Our race used to call this power the power of the ancestors, the creatures in the south called it the power of the gods, and some races called it the aura of heaven and earth, the origin of nature, and so on...... These are all relatively primitive names, they all depict the same thing, and they are called differently because of cultural reasons. The Eagle race calls it a deviated power, which is a very sensible term, as it is itself a force that deviates from the Overworld. ”

"'Deviate from power'?" Cheng Yun was stunned, this title can be said to be quite pedantic.

"Yes. The Lord of the Snow nodded, "This power does not exist in the Overworld, but it has some kind of overlap with the Overworld, and we must touch it through a very special talent that we still cannot understand and cause. Perhaps it could be translated as 'qualification'. ”

Cheng Yun's eyes widened, this is what the old master didn't tell him, or maybe the old master's world is different from it, or maybe the old master's world has this kind of talent to a greater or lesser extent, so no one is aware of it.

"What would you have done if you didn't have that qualification?" he asked.

"This 'qualification' is a permission, an interface, without which you would never be able to touch this power. The Lord of the Snow said and turned his head to look at him, "Just like the creatures of your world, it is clear that this kind of 'deviation power' also exists in your world, but you do not have this level of qualifications, so you will never be able to touch it or discover its existence. Even if the technology of your world is at its peak, its existence cannot be observed in any way, even if you are strong enough to destroy the universe. This is what the rules dictate, and you cannot escape the rules as long as you are in them, and now the rules do not allow you to access this power. ”

"Then I'm ......"

"Your Excellency is the master of time and space. The Lord of the Snow reminded.

"So our world is destined to be a world where extraordinary power cannot be born?" asked Cheng Yun.

"Not necessarily, it is possible that there will be a race in another part of the great universe that has been given this layer of 'qualifications' by the rules, and it is also possible that you earthlings will obtain this layer of authority after many years. The Lord of the Snow narrowed his eyes, "Our 'qualifications' weren't there from the beginning. We have unearthed many fossils, and human beings who like to study have proved that almost all the creatures in the Panyu world obtained this level of 'qualification' between 80 million and 100 million years ago, and this layer of 'qualification' did not exist for creatures before that. ”

Cheng Yun's eyes widened, a little stunned.

The Lord of the Snow smiled instead, and smiled very freely, somewhat similar to the old man: "You see, there are always many mysteries in this world, and many mysteries cannot be solved in our lifetime. I envy you that you can get more answers than we do. ”
