Twilight Speaker

Chapter 69 The Rising Mushroom Cloud
Knowledge, information, essence.

Chen Xiang sees through everything.

He could clearly 'see' the working principle of the Time Loop Rune and the essence of the existence of time, although he could only see it and could not understand it;
He saw a lot of information about Professor Su Luo, but after all, he was not an omniscient eye and could not see everything. He could only see some of Professor Su's blurred past, presenting and showing it in the form of pure information.

Complex and endless information filled Chen Xiang's eyes and his spiritual world.

He felt a headache and was very tired.

When he opened the Thinker's Eye, Chen Xiang clearly felt a sense of fatigue coming from the depths of his soul. The amount of information was too great and the consumption was too great. It was completely different from when he borrowed Li Xiaotong's perspective.

It’s because the origin of my soul is not strong enough.

No, this is just one of the reasons. What I can see now is much more than what Li Xiaotong saw at the beginning. I understand.

He tried to narrow the Thinker's Eye slightly with his mind, and the things he 'saw' were much more restrained, but it was still more information than what he saw from Li Xiaotong's perspective.

He converged again, and finally synchronized his perspective with Li Xiaotong, and the fatigue deep in his soul also dissipated.

"I see."

Completely liberate the eyes of the thinker, so that he can see into the essence of all things and trace back the past information according to the strength of the soul's origin.
Chen Xiang even suspected that if the strength of the soul's origin was high enough, this eye would be able to see into the future, or deduce the future.

When all the trajectories of every elementary particle in the universe are mastered, it is not difficult to deduce the future.

If it is secondary liberation, it can still see the information and essence of things within the range of soul strength, but it cannot further analyze the past or even the future;
Basic liberation is the state that Li Xiaotong is in. There is not much consumption, but the complicated amount of information is still a headache.

It is better to be restrained in normal times.

It seems that if you want to truly unleash the power of the Thinker's Eye, you still need to strengthen the essence of the soul as much as possible. Well, I'll go back and feed the Big Black Bull some more Phantoms, it should be able to hold on!
Chen Xiang exhaled slightly, and the third eye with tearing and vast power disappeared. His forehead became smooth again, and the divine power like the deep sea slowly dissipated, and the stagnant air began to flow again.

He looked at Professor Su Luo who was still sleeping. The information that the Thinker's Eye had just revealed had indicated that it would not be long before Professor Su woke up. This added fuel to the fire.

The mirror summoned hundreds of ghosts, black flames burned, and the ghosts were burned into pure "gods" in spirit, energy and spirit. The pure "gods" were then passed on to Professor Sura by Chen Xiang.

After just a moment, the eyelids of this scorched old man trembled slightly, and then he started coughing violently, and opened his eyes tiredly and with difficulty.

"Where am I?" Professor Su Luo looked around in confusion.

"A secret room." Chen Xiang helped the old man up and briefly described the current situation, reminding him:
"You have now been labeled a cultist and are wanted by the entire city. I'm afraid you can only stay in the secret room for the time being."

"I actually survived?"

Professor Su Luo smiled bitterly:

“This is quite unexpected.”

Chen Xiang smiled and said:

"Another Old Messenger brought you here."

After a pause, he extended an invitation to Professor Sura, just as Wei Qingqiu had invited him before.

Chen Xiang briefly introduced the division of fire, messengers, apostles and councillors, and solemnly said:
"On behalf of the Council of the Old Ones, I invite you to become the new [Messenger of the Old Ones]. When the Master returns, you may be able to witness it with your own eyes."

As expected, Professor Sura, looking tired, nodded decisively and accepted the invitation.

In Winter City, when the Supreme One responded to his questions, he had already returned to the old days.

"The Colossus Academy's hovercraft has probably arrived. I can't stay long. I'll come see you again after the council approves it."

Chen Xiang stood up and asked at the right time before leaving:

"I have another question for you. Do you know the taboos?"

"Taboo?" Professor Sura's voice was hoarse. His throat was almost burnt dry by the previous fire. It has not recovered and it is difficult to recover.

he asked:
"Do you mean taboo objects, or real taboos?"

"Reality taboo."

Professor Su Luo narrated softly:

"Of course I know. Taboos are very complicated to explain. They vary in strength, but all of them possess incredible god-like qualities. They are all products of the true gods performing [Soul Descends] or [Body Descends].

The former is God's will controlling the body, while the latter is one's own will controlling the body. However, one will absolutely submit to God, which is more like being God's agent.
Relatively speaking, soul summons are extremely rare, for unknown reasons, and most of the taboos that exist in the world are the product of body summons.”

After a pause, Professor Sura said softly:
"Real taboos are actually more like horror legends. Gods require faith, and the god-like lives sent down by these gods are all similar. The more widely they spread, the more powerful they become. Therefore, all countries are trying their best to cover up the existence of taboos..."

Chen Xiang listened quietly, his mind turning over and over again. Was the real taboo actually a horror legend? The more it spread, the more powerful it became... He remembered the conclusions of the old man's research on the past.

"When everyone in reality recites the name of Emperor Taitan, He will return."

To some extent, the two are similar... Is it a coincidence, or is there another reason?
Professor Su Luo continued:
"I have personally seen the third real taboo - the captain who always sails in the foggy sea."

As he spoke, Professor Sura's face showed a solemn expression:

"He, no, He is the only friendly taboo, but he is still terrifying, beyond my imagination. Perhaps he can be compared to a true God?"

Chen Xiang was thoughtful. He wanted to become the host, which was a real taboo. Naturally, he needed to learn more about it. He immediately asked curiously:
"Are there rankings for real-life taboos?"

"Only the first five are recognized, and they are all terrifying legends comparable to true gods."

Professor Su Luo coughed softly and narrated simply and tiredly:

"The fifth one is called Scarecrow, a symbol of the most ancient fear. It is followed by countless death-announcement birds. It stands on a high mountain or in a wheat field. When it swings the sickle in its hand, it brings disaster."

After a pause, he spoke faster and more concisely:
"The fourth taboo recognized by the public is called the Final Nightmare. It rarely appears in the world and is almost just a horror legend. The third is the Captain of the Mist whom I have seen. It is said that he escaped the control of the God's Descent and the Mist Sea was caused by him."

Escaped from the control of God?

Chen Xiang nodded slightly. It seemed that the Captain of the Mist was a product of a certain god's [limbs], possessing his own will. He did not expect that he could break free from his shackles.
"The second taboo is the initiator of the Fallen Nation's slide towards the spirit world. He is called the Deep Space Star Spirit. No one has ever seen him. Those who have seen him are already dead."

Chen Xiang listened and asked curiously:
"What about the first one? Has no one seen it either?"

“Quite the opposite.”

Professor Su Luo leaned against the wall with his scorched body and said with difficulty:

"The number one taboo is so omnipresent that I cannot describe it or put it into words. Once I describe it, perhaps He will notice it!"

Chen Xiang was stunned.

What does ubiquitous mean?
Seeing that Professor Sura didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask any more questions and quickly sorted out the new information.

Taboos vary in strength, and are more like horror legends. Their strength also depends on the degree of the legend. Although they are clearly just the product of the true God's descent to break the Emperor's curse, the strongest taboo is even comparable to the true God!
After pondering for a moment, Chen Xiang saw that Professor Su Luo was extremely tired. He suppressed many questions, thanked him solemnly, and hurriedly left the secret room.

The hovercraft must be getting impatient.

Walking into the living room, the hovercraft was hanging in the air at the same height as the window. The driver was yawning out of boredom. When he heard footsteps, he quickly stuck his head out:
"Mr. Chen!"

He said respectfully:

"I'll take you to the Seventh Ring!"

"Let's go." Chen Xiang said softly.

The driver nodded respectfully. He was a little confused. He always felt that Mr. Chen was a little different today than yesterday.

There is an extra temperament.

This temperament is like a unique majesty, which is hard to describe. If I have to say it, it is a bit like the feeling of looking at the great stone statue of the Lord of Death in the Church of Death.

………………

The hovercraft soon arrived above the Seventh Ring Road.

"When will the signal be restored?" Chen Xiang asked boredly in the car.

"Mr. Chen, it's hard to say."

The driver shook his head:
"It seems that all the satellites in the earth have been destroyed and are being rebuilt. Before the reconstruction, I am afraid that there will be no signal in the outer third ring and the middle third ring."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and handed over a file:

"By the way, Mr. Chen, this is the information about Qihuan Construction. You can take a look at it first. The dean asked me to help you completely take over the Construction Group."

Chen Xiang had just taken the file and had not had time to look through it.

'boom! ! ! ’

The violent explosion was deafening!
He looked sideways in astonishment and through the window, he clearly saw a mushroom cloud rising from a large factory.
The hovercraft was shaken violently by the hurricane caused by the explosion.
