[It's here.] 】

The "I don't know how many" level of the clouds is an uncountable area that is the stronghold of the Minebu's world on this side.

Flying heavenly soldiers flew up and down like white doves, reaching higher or lower floors. Outside the floor, there was a handwritten sign with the words "Nantianmen" written crookedly.

This place is the entrance to the "Heavenly Realm" of this heaven and earth. Although there are many areas up and down that are considered celestial, the gate is here.

"Who wrote this brand?"

[This is not your handwriting. They can only see your homework, so they dismantle the three words of Nantianmen. I'll make another good-looking piece when I go back, so I'll hang it up first. 】

"Forget it. Next time I remember to copy the text, his homework is also with me. Before I can return it, you should hurry up and practice first. Or you can look for the print from the textbook as before. ”

[Okay, okay, let them remember.] We're ready to go, but let's meet someone first. 】

"Huh? Do I have an acquaintance here? ”

"Here it is." Behind the sign of the Nantianmen, Faetong leaned against the pillar and said.

"Why are you here?"

"Because she called me. I had a pen talk with her when I used the former Xiaofu to translate. Let her tell you why. ”

[Because. You're trying to find the best place to see things for what they are, right? Find the best place to investigate. This piece of heaven and earth is actually quite large, and there are many places in the three major continents, but the gaze of the Heavenly Court on them has not yet been established. So, I'm going to use arcane to find answers. 】

"Divination?"

[I tried, but divination is not very good.] Because you have to determine at least a baseline state before you can calculate the variables in the future, which I haven't done yet. But. There's another artifact that can do it. 】

"The Spear of the Sun God?"

[Yes.] But. Woo woo, I really couldn't figure out what to do with this thing, so I brought in its previous owner. Ask Faetong, or how she found you. 】

Phaethon did not hide it, and replied directly: "Because the threads of fate are concentrated in you like a cocoon, I thought you were plucking the strings of fate and wanted to do something. Only later to find out that you yourself were just caught up in it. ”

"The thread of fate? Is this some abstract metaphor? ”

"No, it's a figurative statement. There really is such a thread. ”

"You try." Shang Luo untied the burden and pulled out the spear of the Sun God from it-

"Wait." Phaethon raised his hand, "Now it's yours, I can't use it." Unless you're willing to lend me it, that's the rule. ”

"Okay." Shang Luo took a step forward with the spear, held the handle of the spear and handed it over. Phaethon also reached out and grabbed with him.

"And then?" Shang Luo asked.

"After equal and friendly negotiation, the two parties have reached the following agreement on the borrowing of the 'Spear of the Sun God' - Party B undertakes to use the Spear of the Sun God if and only if it has the permission of Party A; will and only for the purposes for which you have consented to it; During the use of the Spear of the Sun God, Party B will not under any circumstances violate Party A's instructions. When Party B violates the agreement, the agreement will be quickly terminated, and Party B will lose the right to use the Spear of the Sun God. Party A has the final right to interpret this Agreement - do you, Shangluo, agree as Party A? ”

"It's so troublesome."

"That's the way we rule in our house. In short, the final interpretation is in your hands, and you can change it as you like. Will you lend me? ”

"I do."

“.” Phaethon didn't speak, just looked up at him.

"Huh? Am I not right? ”

"Say a few more words and you'll die. Let's put it all down. There is ambiguity in this statement. ”

"Well, I'm willing to lend you the Spear of the Sun God in my hand? Is that okay? Of course I do, why should I hand over the spear if I don't want to? ”

"Alright. No problem. Phaethon took the Spear of the Sun God from his hand and danced in the air, "It seems to have gotten heavier."

"It's because I've been charging. Can you handle it? ”

"It's a bit of a struggle, but it's ok. You give it a go. Phaedon turned around and drew a circle on the ground, "Retreat out of the circle." ”

Shang Luo, as well as the surrounding heavenly soldiers, all took a step back.

"Whew" Phaetong took a breath:

"This is the power of ten thousand forces, and it is tenacious! This is how the world was created, and miracles can be achieved in this way. This is an immaculate truth. I declare that the great work of the sun is here! ”

With that, she plunged the tip of her spear into the ground and half-knelt on the ground. Inside the ring, the glory shines. Cobweb-like fissures spread from where they pierced.

The rift stretched into the void outside the tower, into the distance—but it wasn't the floor tiles of the Tower of Babel that were shattered, but the barrier between reality and magic.

"Hold it." Half-kneeling, Phaethon looked up and asked.

"After holding it, do I have to ask questions? My question should be, 'I want to know the key information that will give me insight into the future of this world.'" ”

"There's no need to ask, this isn't the Delphi Oracle of that guy, don't ask papyrus questions. You just hold it, and the fabric of fate will answer your questions. Come into the circle when you hold it, and don't move the others. ”

"Hmm." Shang Luo stepped into the circle and grabbed the other end of the Sun God's spear—

There was a snap, like a broken mirror "upside down", and everything returned to normal. Only the tip of the spear penetrated deep into the ground of the Tower of Babel, leaving an indelible mark on the entrance of the South Heavenly Gate.

But the sigil is not as simple as a pit. There is a blue "liquid" filling it, but the "liquid" is not an entity, just an illusion. The virtual image did not only stay in the pit, but also a straight silk thread stretched out to Shang Luo's chest.

"What is this?" A thread came over and made him feel hairy.

"That one on the ground is the anchor point, the mark you left behind. Blue represents the sympathetic rhythm, and the other end of the line is the answer. ”

"Are there any other colors?"

"Yes. Blue is the sympathetic law, green is the touch law, red is the law of cause and effect, and different connections represent different ways of connecting. The blue sympathetic rhythm represents the connection between A and B in some kind of super-distance symbol, like Guan Gong and his gods; The green touch law means that A is part of B, or vice versa, that there has been at least physical contact between the two, like E. coli; Red represents events, and this general situation is related to people. You just had doubts in your mind, didn't you? Simple, you start with this anchor point and follow the line all the way to find the answer. ”

"So what does that mean now?"

"Blue means that there is some kind of connection between what you have on you and the answer you are looking for. But there is no actual contact between the two, and there is no direct causal relationship. Well, generally blue sympathetic links are the most numerous, and they are not of much value, but you can definitely find them if you keep chasing them. A green or red color means that there will be a major breakthrough. However, the sympathetic link is continuous, and you can definitely go down the blue line. But green or red, it could be a headless dead end, it could be an endpoint. On the other hand, the sympathetic link cannot exist in isolation from reality, so it must not be the end of the problem in itself, it must be linked to an object or event that actually exists. ”

"I have a question, how long is this line? How many sections are there at most? ”

"Ha, you thought you'd run into something like Apollonia, right? No, these lines are not headless. Because according to the law of the theory of six degrees of separation, the 'usual' maximum distance between two objects to produce a sympathetic link is six layers, rarely seven, and almost impossible to have eight. So if you follow through six or seven at most, you'll find the answer – but only if you get it right. ”

"Is it possible that you can't go the right way?"

"Yes. Because green and red can be a dead end, because what may lead to is part of the problem, or the cause and effect of the problem, not the problem itself. But even a dead end can provide key information that can help you determine which path is the right one. I was able to find you so quickly because after I asked, there was a blood-red cause and effect in my body that was directly connected to you. Ha, the result is indeed a great cause and effect, and I have suffered retribution. This time, you're going to ask about the key information about where the world is going? Then the next clue should be in your arms. What do you have in your arms? ”

"Wait, this position is. Huh? He took it out:

"Ball two? So what does this mean? ”

"You have to ask questions, get his permission, and then you can go to the next step. Oh? Did the connection come out directly? He seems to be absolutely obedient to you subconsciously, so there is no need to ask. So which direction is the next step? ”

"It's the Ministry of Water. It turns out that this is the case, and this is locked in step by step. This thing works so well, hey. ”

"So it seems that I was right to stay, Apollonia, that lazy worm has no power at all, and she can't use it. The Spear of the Sun God has to move. Let's go, let's move, the information you want to see is over there. However, there is one question that seems to have been answered—the water snake may have a lot to do with this future. The current state of the Water Serpent is absent? The absence of the water serpent is the key element of the world leading to a certain future. ”
