Chapter 1997 “…”
Chapter 1997 “…”
The <World consciousness> didn’t immediately answer Long Qian Xing’s question. Instead, <World consciousness> asked, “What do you think of this world?”
What do they think about this world? Long Qian Xing glanced at Nan Hua and then looked at the <World consciousness> once more. “I like this world. This world is still at the early stage and there are many things that haven’t developed, especially compared to my previous life. However, I feel that this world is on the right track.”
To be honest, he knew nothing about the world as a whole.
After all, Long Qian Xing was nothing more than one ordinary human in the vast world in this world. There were many things that he couldn’t see and many things that he didn’t know. But if there was anything that Long Qian Xing felt, it was that this world was like his previous world thousands of years before. There were naturally many differences.
But there were also many similarities. And after staying in this world for more than a decade, it would be a lie if he said that he had no feelings at all for this world. Many people whom he cared for were in this world. How could he be willing to leave them so suddenly?
“And I hope that this world will continue to exist…” Long Qian Xing looked at the <World consciousness> suspiciously. “You’re not thinking about erasing this world, are you?”
The <World consciousness> let out a chuckle. “No.”
“Good.”
Nan Hua nodded and then said, “I can’t say anything for the big world that I have never seen before. But I think this world is good.”
Sure, coming to this world from their previous world, there were many inconveniences because there were a lot of changes that they were not used to. But after a decade, their habits had long blended with the way the people in this world lived. There was no longer any differences anymore. At most, their way of thinking was a bit different because of their education and the long history they had read about their previous world. But for other matters, there were not many differences. “Then it’s good… I’m relieved.” <World consciousness> nodded. “So, can you answer….?”
“No.” <World consciousness> moved to the side by side as if shaking one’s head. “<You have to find that answer yourself as you live in this world…. Because if you truly want to live, there will be things that you have to face.>”
Huh?
Neither Long Qian Xing or Nan Hua understood what the <World consciousness> meant. But the two of them knew that the war and challenges for them was far from over. There should be other things that caused the <World consciousness> to call them to this world. “You can’t tell us anything even after sending us here?” Long Qian Xing asked, his eyes narrowed slightly.
“<Isn’t it good that you already have a second life>?” <World consciousness> countered.
Long Qian Xing: “…”
Nan Hua: “…”
This <World consciousness> also seemed to know how to negotiate. Even though they were not asking for much, but the <World consciousness> was not going to let them take any advantage. Oh well…
Long Qian Xing sighed. “You can indeed say it like that, but I would like it if you can give us any clue.”
“No.”
So strict!
If not because Long Qian Xing could guess that this <World consciousness> had some special abilities, he really wanted to give a smack to this <World consciousness> and let it answer some of his questions that he had long wanted to find the answer. But after calming down for a bit, Long Qian Xing knew that it would not be possible. “Do you have any other question?” The <World consciousness> paid no heed to Long Qian Xing’s annoyance and asked whether they still has any other question. Long Qian Xing nodded. “Yes, I want to know about Gu Xia Mo.”
“What Gu Xia Mo had asked can’t be told to you.”
Long Qian Xing: “…” Then what can you tell us?
Nan Hua glanced at <World consciousness> and then asked before Long Qian Xing could ask another question, “What about the abilities you give to us? Can you strengthen or take it back?”
“Ho, this is now an interesting question.” the <World consciousness> chuckled in a low voice. “<Yes and no.>”
“What do you mean?” Long Qian Xing frowned. “<I can strengthen the ability I give to you with the proper price… because from the moment I sent you all here for the sake of balance, I need to compensate you in a way. Hmm, think of it this way…>
<When you want something, you have to buy it to give the one who sold the things. It could be called as an equivalent exchange. And what I did with all of you are similar… exchanging something for another thing.>
<So if I wish to take it back, I have to give you something else. If I wish to strengthen your ability, you have to give me something in return.>”
The <World consciousness> explained to them in simple ways that would allow them to understand what it meant. Their request, if they truly want to say it as request, was not excessive. But they had to understand that behind their request, there would be a price to pay.
As for what the price is, it would depend on what their request would be.
“I see.” Long Qian Xing nodded.
In the first place, their abilities could be said to be defying the Heaven. Because no other people in the entire world would have the same ability as theirs and the cost for them to use their abilities might be high, but if they were to control it to a reasonable level, it would still give them more short term advantage. How it would be in the far future was another question, though. Nan Hua also listened to the <World consciousness> explanation and then thought about the stories she had read.
Even though it was not clear, but…
“<is it possible for us to lend our abilities to others>?”
