Twilight Speaker

Chapter 87: The Strangeness of the Emperor

Chen Xiang shook his confused head, opened his eyes, and saw three people lying unconscious nearby.

Xiao Wei, Dapang and the old woman.

When he looked up again, he saw Lu Salem sitting in a wheelchair, with a solemn and serious expression.

"How did I get here?"

Chen Xiang rubbed his forehead and asked.

Luzalen stared at him and said softly:
"Something went terribly wrong. The Kyushu, which continued to fall into the subspace, exploded. It was very dangerous just now. If you hadn't 'tamed' the Kyushu, the entire Great City might have been dragged into the subspace."

Chen Xiang's eyes flickered slightly: "And then you brought us here?"

"Yes, you are lucky."

Louisa clasped his hands together, his young face filled with a solemn expression that did not suit his appearance:
"The Kyushu tore through all the eyes that were looking at that place. Only two people saw it all."

"One is me, and the other is primitive fear. He should not take the initiative to expose your affairs. In fact, if you take the Kyushu into custody, it will make Him trust you more. Then again."

Lu Sarah could not help but sigh:

"Do you know how bad things will happen if your ability to contain warp ships is exposed? The Outer Gods will hunt you down!"

He lifted his eyelids, one gleaming with gold, the other with silver:
"I brought these along. The other hundred or so thugs have already died from the mental shock, so there's no need to worry about them. As for Wei Shun..."

Chen Xiang's heart was slightly tense, and he listened quietly.

Louisa continued:

"Wei Shun was kicked by you. I'm afraid he will be unconscious for a long time. I think he will be sent back to Donghong Kingdom for treatment. A member of the parliament is a high-ranking official in Donghong Kingdom. I will ask him to suppress this matter, but before that..."

His voice gradually became solemn:

"Chen Xiang, I have two questions that I may need your help to answer."

Chen Xiang frowned, sensing the solemn atmosphere. He no longer treated Lu Salem as Little Salem, but rather as the [First Generation], and said in a deep voice:

"Please tell me."

"First."

Lu Saling frowned and said:

"Why were you able to tame and contain the Kyushu?"

"I refuse to answer."

Chen Xiang said simply:

"This is related to my mentor. He baptized me. I cannot reveal the details. If you really want to know, you might as well ask my mentor."

Sarah's expression softened a little:

"That's my guess. The mystery of the mentor is beyond my comprehension. It's not surprising that a supreme being who roams freely in the subspace would grant you the power to contain the Kyushu."

After a pause, He became serious again, even more serious than before:
"The second question is, why did you choose the name of the spread of faith as [Emperor Elephant]?"

Chen Xiang was stunned. That’s it?

He thought it was a big deal.
It’s just that the reaction of this [first generation] is a bit strange.

Chen Xiang secretly kept an eye on it and replied with a smile:

"I've thought about it carefully. If we preach directly in the name of Emperor Tan, it will easily lead to encirclement and suppression. Even if we succeed in the end, our faith will be shattered by the Great City, so."

He said seriously:

"I combined the 'elephant' in my name and created the Emperor Elephant. It won't be noticed by the Outer Gods, and won't be besieged by the Great City. When this belief spreads widely, when the time is right, I will issue a statement to change the elephant to a tank. Isn't that perfect?"

In the end, he still concealed the [true name] that the God of Notarization had determined that day.

There seems to be something fishy going on here.

Sarah's lips moved, and a helpless look appeared on his face:

"So that's it. It was just a coincidence. I thought..."

"What do you think?"

Chen Xiang asked like a curious baby:
"Is there anything wrong with the name Emperor Xiang? Could it be that such a person really exists?"

Luzar was silent for a moment, shook his head, and finally nodded:

"Yes, but you shouldn't know about it. This is a secret, the biggest curtain. Since you chose this name by chance, it doesn't matter. Just do as you said. First spread the faith in the name of Emperor Xiang, and then change 'Xiang' to 'Tan' at the last minute, and everything will be done."

Chen Xiang made full use of the curious baby's special physique, and was persistent and diligent:
"I am still very curious about the [Emperor Elephant]. Can you tell me about it? I am willing to listen and will never tell anyone else."

"No."

Sarah refused bluntly, with some light in his eyes, as if he was recalling the past, recalling more than a thousand years ago.

He said with emotion:

"This so-called secret has an unknown origin. The whole world has forgotten it. I, the Outer God, learned about it under extremely special circumstances. You don't have to care about it, and don't try to explore it, because you won't find anything."

"The whole world, including the Outer Gods, has forgotten this name?"

Chen Xiang talked to himself, his face showed no change, but his heart sank.

Where do so many coincidences come from in the world?

His name in his previous life was Emperor Xiang, and in this life he became Emperor Tan. But according to the absolutely rational and self-aware God of Justice,
Emperor Xiang is his true name.

Interesting, getting more interesting
It's getting more and more bizarre.

Chen Xiang pondered for a moment and changed his words:
"Oh, by the way, Senior, I have heard of gods of nature, such as the god of justice, and the god of the twelve hours. What are these?"

"This one"

Luzarre said casually:

"Strictly speaking, gods are divided into three categories. One is the Old Ones, the rulers of the past, and the other is the Outer Gods who came from the outer universe and their subordinates."

"The last category is the gods of nature, gods born naturally from reality. They are the embodiment of certain rules, without self-awareness and wisdom. To use the old saying of Donghong Country, they are..."

He thought about it and said:

“It is the ‘heaven and earth’ in which heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs.”

Chen Xiang understood:
"He is ruthless, so he is both extremely benevolent and extremely unkind. All plants and trees are equal in his eyes. He has no partiality, no emotions, and he only follows the 'rules'?"

"Correct!"

Lushal smiled coldly, "But it's not absolute. For example, the great incident two days ago, the White Lord who had long since passed away unexpectedly reappeared. He is probably not the original Him, but a successor. Whether the successor will have his own will is unknown."

Chen Xiang lowered his eyebrows slightly, smiled and responded, then asked:
"Senior, what should we do now? Xiao Wei and the others have never seen me tame the Jiuzhou. Is it that I cannot use the Jiuzhou?"

“Yes, you can’t use it.”

Sarah nodded affirmatively:

"But you can give it to someone else, or use it under another identity, but it cannot be Chen Xiang. Otherwise, the Outer Gods, who are now frightened, will hunt you down and you will not survive."

Chen Xiang understood that the Outer Gods were too sensitive nowadays, and everything involving the subspace would be watched by them.

He nodded slightly:
"In that case, I will prepare to integrate the affairs of the outer three rings. It will probably become a safe zone under my rule in the next few days. When the overall situation stabilizes, I will take away the altar and leave."

"Okay, but you have to be careful."

Luzarre reminded:

"Taking the altar requires an opportunity, which I will find for you. When you see the god standing above the great city, act immediately!"

"I see."

The two continued to talk and recount for a while, and then Sarah warned:
"I have already taken care of the rest for you, but you must make sure these three people don't spread the news of your conflict with Wei Shun, otherwise all parties will still lock on you as the first suspect."

After a pause, He reminded:

"Wei Qingqiu doesn't count. As for the other two, I suggest you be more ruthless."

"No need."

Chen Xiang decisively refused:

"I will pray for the power of the mentor to come, and stamp Yuan Wanli and Wu Mengling with spiritual steel seals, and keep it absolutely confidential. I am not soft-hearted. I plan to develop them into sparks and messengers."

Seeing this, Lu Sarah didn't say much, and simply nodded:

"Okay, go ahead and get busy. Remember, when the gods stand above the great city, start planning immediately."

"The day of the advent of the God that you are used as a vessel for will be July 1st. If nothing unexpected happens, I will create an opportunity on June 30th. Seize it!"

"I see."

………………

The three of them took the unconscious Xiao Wei and escaped from the shadows to the secret room of the old house. Chen Xiang did not wake them up immediately, but fell into deep thought alone.

After a long while, he stroked the fissure tattoo and asked softly:
"Mirror, have you ever heard of the name Emperor Elephant?"

"What's the name?" the mirror asked in confusion.

"Emperor Elephant."

The mirror didn't answer.

After a long time, Chen Xiang frowned:
"Mirror?"

"Where am I?" The mirror was a little confused: "I have been waiting for you to narrate, but you have remained silent!"

"Emperor Xiang, I said Emperor Xiang! Didn't you hear me?"

The mirror is even more blurry:

"Can you please finish your sentence? This is so weird. Are you crazy too?"

Chen Xiang's eyelids twitched, and he asked:
"Please repeat what I just said."

"As you wish."

Mirror coughed twice and said in a different tone:
"I said ￥@! Didn't you hear me?"

Chen Xiang was stunned.

After a while, he replied:

"Emperor Elephant!"

Mirror:

"*&!"

Chen Xiang:

"Emperor Tan, Emperor Elephant, Emperor Tan, Emperor Tan Elephant!"

Mirror:

"Emperor, ￥%, Emperor, #￥%!"

Chen Xiang stopped talking.

something wrong.

The problem is bigger than I thought.

The mirror cannot hear the words "Emperor Xiang".

But the key point is that other people, whether it is Lu Sarah or those guys in Jiuhuan, can hear it, and have even begun to spread the belief in Emperor Xiang in Jiuhuan!
Only the mirror cannot listen.

This just further illustrates the strangeness of the name [Emperor], and also explains the mirror, which is related to it! !

What does the first generation know?
Chen Xiang temporarily buried his doubts in his heart, stared at the mirror for a while, took out the [Spiritual Mentor] from the mirror body, and after putting it on, he applied mental seals to the unconscious Yuan Wanli and Wu Mengling respectively.

After doing all this, Chen Xiang put away his monocle and went back to deep thought.

"According to the first generation, Kyushu cannot be used by me."

"Give it to someone else? Who can withstand the erosion of the warp? Even if there is someone, he will be hunted down by the Outer Gods and used in another identity? No, there is a possibility of being exposed. We can't take the risk."

"It would be nice if I could have a clone"

He thought for a long time, but still had no clue. Unfortunately, it seemed that this subspace ship would be temporarily sealed and could not be used.
While sighing, Chen Xiang looked in the mirror, and a flash of inspiration came to his mind:

"Look in the mirror."

"You said, I'm here."

"You have the power of mirror copying. Since you can copy dusk relics, can you copy people?"

"I mean, if the other me in the mirror came out, what would he be?"
