Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 245 - 245 16 If There Be a God

245: Chapter 16 If There Be a God 245: Chapter 16 If There Be a God “Is the so-called Lord Huojin God the Void Light Dragon that descended three hundred years ago?”

There were many factors that turned Zero Island into this peculiar form, and the most influential of them was undoubtedly the virtual light disaster of 1709.

If the virtual light disaster had not occurred, it’s likely that this nation would have taken a completely different path.

Chuyun Linai had personally said that the accuracy of Zero Island’s disaster divination was due to the protection of the Huojin God.

Combining what he had encountered after arriving at Zero Island with the fervent advice of his friends, Gongsun Ce believed that the island’s anomalies were inseparable from the so-called “Huojin God.” The first thing he needed to clarify was the true identity of this Lord of God.

The benevolent old man did not respond directly, “Have you heard of the concept of Huojin and Zhi Pi?”

The Superpower User shook his head, and the woman beside him took over the conversation, “Calamities encompass all that is irrational, disasters, impurities, misfortune, and adversity.

Calamities can also be expressed as ‘bent,’ with its opposing concept being ‘straight.’ Purifying impurities and resolving adversity is what the people of Zero Island often refer to as ‘turning calamities into straight paths.'”

You seem quite knowledgeable, truly a local.

Gongsun Ce summed up, “Huojin is misfortune, Zhi Pi is good fortune, it seems that’s the case.”

The old man smiled and nodded.

“What do you think, guest, between calamity and straightness, which holds the dominant position?”

“It’s calamity,” Gongsun Ce responded immediately, “The so-called straight is a concept that depends on calamity, and the good fortune it brings seems like a purification and distortion of calamity.

Moreover…”

He continued under the encouraging gaze of the old witch, “In the hidden gods, the Direct God also emerged because of the Calamity God, that is, the influence of the giant dragon.

Straight is not the antithesis of calamity, but another form of expression of calamity.

That’s how I see it.”

“You’re a very wise person,” the old witch commended, “Huojin and Zhi Pi transform into each other, completing the circulation of calamity, what is called ‘fate’s whirlpool.'”

“This whirlpool was brought by the Lord Huojin God, and those within it can borrow the power of the Lord to devoutly call it protection.”

The old man took a sip of tea, rested for a moment, then slowly said, “However, the Lord of God is unpredictable, and the circulation of calamity will not always be balanced.

If the power of calamity accumulates too much, the Calamity God will come to the human world to restore balance.

If the power of calamity accumulates to the limit…

what descends then will no longer be the common Calamity God, but the Lord Huojin God himself, the creator of the whirlpool.”

She looked into Gongsun Ce’s eyes and said calmly, “The last time the Lord Huojin God descended was in 1709.

Outside this small island, He is known as the Void Light Dragon.”

Shiyu Ling had no apparent expression on her face, but her eyes revealed that she found this theory quite unbelievable.

Gongsun Ce tentatively asked, “Lady Chuyun, I don’t know how much you know about my situation…”

“Don’t worry, guest.

Little Yan has told me about you.

These theories about the whirlpool won’t harm you,” the elderly lady smiled somewhat helplessly, “because, you’re already in the whirlpool of this island.”

The old lady catching up on the situation with Yan Qi was reassuring.

Gongsun Ce felt relieved to reason out loud; the whirlpool, the connections, the Lord Huojin God, vague warnings, linking these things together…

“The coming of the Huojin God makes the so-called power of the whirlpool extremely strong, so much so that any information disturbance directed towards Zero Island will be captured by the whirlpool of calamity and straightness.

The information disturbance entwined with the whirlpool is what you call connection.

The presence of the connection makes divinations conducted on Zero Island extraordinarily accurate,” Gongsun Ce meticulously followed his train of thought, “I believe that the more we understand the whirlpool itself, the tighter the connection will be, and the greater the influence the whirlpool will have.

Hence, no one informed me about this before I departed, and all you did was provide a brief introduction.”

“And you and the Seven Luminaries Divine Sect have ways to observe and even affect these connections, which might be the prayers you mentioned before, or perhaps some application of the Impermanence Skill I’m not aware of.

In any case, we must rely on the power of the Seven Luminaries Divine Sect to start our agenda; otherwise, setting off unprepared would allow the Martial Arts Association to divine every detail of the action, and even for me to suffer sudden misfortune or other inexplicable events due to the whirlpool…”

Gongsun Ce recalled the strange words of the bean-washing child and joined his palms, adding, “To add, in the words of the hidden gods, connection is what is called fortune, and the grey connections represent the negative influence imposed by the whirlpool on me.

This is my personal conjecture, does it seem correct to you?”

“…”

The old witch was momentarily speechless, and Shiyu Ling gave a cold laugh, “It seems your set of tricks and pretenses is no use against him.”

Gongsun Ce frowned, “Miss Shiyu, please don’t be so rude!”

“Heh,” Shiyu Ling said no more, her tea untouched before her.

The old witch waved her hand to show she didn’t mind.

She seemed quite touched.

“Your conjectures are mostly correct.

Do you have any other confusions?”

Many indeed.

The wandering bean of the Wandering God, the current deities, the mysteriously mended path of calamity, even the association between the giant dragon phenomenon and the Impermanence Skill…

There was still much he did not know, yet the astute young man noticed a hint of weariness in the old woman’s eyes.

Chuyun Feiyi appeared to be over seventy years of age, and it was deep into the night, well past the time for an elderly person to rest.

Gongsun Ce raised his cup to honor the old witch, “My inquiries have been resolved.

Thank you for your help, Lady Chuyun.”

“Hehe…

if there’s anything else you don’t understand, go and ask Linai,” the old person, leaning on a walking stick, stood up and called out, “Linai—Linai—”
