Twilight Speaker

Chapter 58: The olive branch from the academy, the lecture begins!
"Is there a hierarchy of authority? Mirror."

"Of course. The gap between ordinary authority and conceptual authority is too huge!"

Chen Xiang was thoughtful:
"Aren't you crazy and don't remember anything?"

"Sometimes I think of something."

"Well, then tell me more about conceptual authority."

The mirror thought for a long time, recalled for a long time, and finally spoke:
"There is no upper limit to conceptual authority. If I remember correctly, the authority of shadow belongs to the Silent One, and theoretically, the Silent One can become a Pillar with the authority of shadow."

"Pillars? The three pillars?"

"That's right!"

The mirror spoke solemnly:
"Although it's only theoretically possible, it is indeed possible. Conceptual shadows can also refer to the unknown. What is beyond the truth is the shadow of truth, and what is beyond destiny is the shadow of destiny. Of course, the Silent One is far from having such great power."

Chen Xiang's mind was opened, and his eyes lit up slightly:
"In other words, the Outer Gods all possess conceptual authority?"

"Yes, at least master one, or more. They all have the potential to become pillars, but it is difficult. The soul origins of the Outer Gods are too far from the Pillars. Only when the soul origins of the nine Outer Gods are united can they barely be comparable to the Pillars."

Chen Xiang seemed to be thinking about something.

The soul essence of Emperor Tan was shared by the three pillars and the nine outer gods. The three pillars should have taken the lion's share, and the outer gods probably only got some scraps.

Their sharing of the food also directly led to the weakening of Emperor Tan. Speaking of which, what is Emperor Tan’s sovereign authority?
He recalled the prayer.

"Great Titan."

"The foundation of all worlds, the weaver of reality, the pillar of eternity."

Cornerstone? Reality? Eternity?

Chen Xiang took a deep breath and shook his head slightly. These things were too far away and there was no need to think about them for the time being. It would be better to focus on the situation right now.

Colossus Academy, Eighth Ring, Nine Ring
There is also an unknown powerful man mentioned by the madman, who is suspected to be in the villa. Is he the first generation?
The first person Chen Xiang thought of was the first generation.

If it is the first generation, who will it be?
Or is it just lurking in the shadows?
He buried these doubts in his heart, tidied up the secret room, and left in a hurry.

………………

"Why did you come back?"

In the villa, Chen Shaoyan said something in anger and took the suitcase from Chen Xiang:
"How about those two underground hunters? I specially asked the sect leader to find them for you. They are worth the money, right?"

"Yeah, they are very good. Very good."

Chen Xiang answered perfunctorily, looking around the villa and at Lu Salem who was sitting quietly in the wheelchair.

He suddenly began to doubt Jerusalem.

A cold little hand suddenly grabbed Chen Xiang's ear, and the eldest sister said angrily:
"If you don't treat me perfunctorily, will you still go to Jiuhuan?"

Chen Xiang bared his teeth:

"Should I go? I'm just coming back to attend a lecture. The details still depend on the subsequent arrangements of the college. Oh, oh, oh, oh, sister, be gentle!"

He didn't mention the rocket attack, there was no related report in the news, and my sister didn't seem to know about it either.

"Keep your voice down!"

Chen Shaoyan let go of his hand and said unhappily:

"Chen Xiaoya is still sleeping. If she is woken up, you will be in trouble!"

Chen Xiaoya is the name Chen Shaoyan gave to Sha Ya.

Chen Xiang smiled bitterly and checked the time:

"Okay, sister, it's almost two o'clock. I have to go to school first, so as not to be late for the lecture. I'll come back in the evening!"

"Will you have dinner?"

"Should I eat?"

"Then I'll make more. If you don't come back by then, and the food is wasted, you'll have to bear the consequences!"

"So will I have a good harvest or not?"

"roll!"

"Got it!"

Chen Xiang rushed out of the house.

"This brat!"

Chen Shaoyan cursed and walked behind Lu Sarah:
"I'll push you out for a walk so your sister can sleep peacefully for a while."

Luzar was silent for a moment, then reminded:
"I'm older than she is."

"Hey, talking back again?"

"Don't pull my ears, you have the final say."

Chen Shaoyan let go of the hand that was twisting little Salem's ear, and pushed Him out the door.

"Getting more sun is good for your health!" she said.

………………

Afternoon, 2:20.

At the gate of Colossus Academy.

Chen Xiang was bored waiting for others and looked at the sun above his head. "The weather is nice today."

He lowered his eyelids and thought of the sun he saw through Li Xiaotong's perspective, which emitted a vast amount of endless information. It was a terrifying creature with extreme light and extreme heat.

"Assistant Chen?"

A strange voice sounded at this time. Chen Xiang looked sideways and saw a middle-aged man walking towards him with a smile.

"Vice President?" Chen Xiang was surprised and recognized that the person was the Vice President of Colossus Academy.

"it's me."

The middle-aged man stepped forward and patted Chen Xiang on the shoulder:

"The academy knows all about your story. You saved six students and Assistant Professor Li. You deserve a reward!"

His tone was very friendly and his face was full of smiles, like a gentle elder.

Chen Xiang bowed politely:
"Vice Dean, this is what I should do. It's just that other students."

The middle-aged man looked solemn and spoke in a sad tone:
"The Nine Rings are really too lawless. We are applying to the higher-ups for full access to the Nine Rings. If the application is successful, the dean and I will go to the Nine Rings to investigate this matter in person. Don't worry!"

Chen Xiang nodded vigorously, his eyes deep.

Fully enter the ninth ring?

Go to Jiuhuan in person?

he mused.

The middle-aged man patted Chen Xiang on the shoulder again:

"But the application won't be issued in such a short time. After the lecture, please come to the dean's office. The dean wants to see you in person."

"I?"

Chen Xiang looked flattered:

"The dean is very busy, please see me."

"The academy found out that the rockets came from District 12 of the Ninth Ring. That's the territory of a man called Jazz."

The middle-aged man sighed:

"The students are probably all there. The academy needs someone to clear out District 12 of the Ninth Ring and establish an orderly and safe zone. Without permission from above, professors cannot enter the Ninth Ring. You are a good candidate."

After a pause, he smiled again:

"Speaking of which, you are very talented. The dean intends to promote you and make you a star of our Colossus Academy. So don't worry, no one in the Nine Rings will dare to touch you. After all, you will be our star. Whoever touches you will be going to war with the Colossus Academy!"

Chen Xiang nodded in fear and trepidation, then lowered his head.

According to the madman, the Jazzman is most likely also a member of the academy, and the fact that Xiaohu practices the Colossus method can also indirectly prove this!
Thinking back to what the vice president had just said about going to Jiuhuan in person, Chen Xiang's heart suddenly sank.

The disorganized information vaguely seems to be connected together.

"Okay, I still want to go meet Professor Su. You're going to sit in on the lecture later, right? I'll take you to see the dean after the lecture."

Before leaving, the vice president said respectfully:

"Children like you are the future of our Colossus Academy, the real future."

Chen Xiang looked at the deputy dean's receding figure, his expression calmed down, and he murmured to himself:
"The sign of the Colossus Academy, clear the twelfth district of the Nine Rings, enter the Nine Rings"

He lowered his eyelids, and a strong guess emerged in his mind!

The academy is eager to enter the Ninth Ring, but the Great City won’t allow it!

Then
The academy needs a 'reason' to enter the Nine Rings?
If this is true, the rocket attack does not seem to be enough, and is not enough to support the college or the dean or vice-dean to enter the Ninth Ring. But what if the college's "signboard" encounters an accident in the Ninth Ring?

Chen Xiang's mood fell to the bottom. He stared at the bronze gate of Colossus Academy. The bright and shining school gate seemed to be shrouded in a hazy shadow.

He suddenly sighed and smiled:
"Yes, this is the Great City."

The Great City, a prosperous, chaotic city with no good people.

"Why is this happening?"

Chen Xiang whispered softly:

"I just want peace and security."

………………

Afternoon, 2:50.

College Hall.

With Professor Su's autograph, Chen Xiang led Xiao Wei, Li Xiaotong and five students into the auditorium and sat in the front row amid the hustle and bustle.

At this moment, there are many dignitaries sitting here who have come from the Third Ring Road, just because of Professor Su, the number one mysterious historian in the human category!
Time passes little by little,
As Professor Su, wearing an ancient long gown, walked onto the stage, the entire auditorium fell silent.

"I'm Sura."

Professor Su looked around the entire auditorium with a solemn and dignified expression:
"Today, the topic of my speech is"

"Old days."

The entire auditorium was in an uproar.
