Chapter 989: An Era of Difficult Progress
"You like killing people in your dreams, too, don't you? "
Dotore's eyes lit up: "Could it be that you have seen someone who also likes this fighting style?"
"Oh, that person likes to kill people in his dreams, and he prefers married women."
Dottore:?
"Nothing, please ignore what I just said."
Gu Sanqiu asked, "You pulled me out here just to talk about this? I feel like there's nothing special about it."
Damn, I thought I could actually go to some place that only adults would go to see today.
All the consumption today will be paid for by Dotore!
"Well, that's all I have to say for now. After all, your elders have already told me to be a little more self-aware."
Dottore put his mask back on: "I can't tell you more. Some are very dangerous, and others are unconfirmed."
"Then come and fight me."
Gu Sanqiu flexed his fingers: "Recently, there hasn't been an opponent who can fight with me. I feel a little itchy."
"I'm not interested in wasting time like this."
Dotore said: "Your current strength should have reached a level above that of an immortal. If you work harder, you should be able to catch up with me."
"Can you really catch up to that level with just a little effort?"
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "I'm very curious about how you did it. Could it be that you used some method of incarnation and unity to prove the truth with force?"
"No, let me remind you of one thing. In our world, quantitative change rarely leads to qualitative change. The method you mentioned does not work."
Dotole rested his chin on his hand: "Well, it seems that you really don't know. Didn't your ancestors leave you a way to become a god?"
"Even if there is, if I'm not mistaken, before the strength and certain conditions are met, I will never know those things."
"Oh, it can be considered a kind of protection."
Dotorre said: "You are curious about this question, but it is not unrealistic. For you and me, we have the reasons to become stronger, but we lack the method."
"By the way, your guy is really amazing ."
Gu Sanqiu was stunned: "Dad?"
This sentence seems a bit redundant. Do you really need to tell me how powerful Morax is?
"No, it's your ancestor, the oldest one."
Dotore gestured at the destiny star model in his hand.
"There is a strange place in the starry sky, like a small area on a perfect painting that is a poorly written ghostwriting."
"In that place, I saw images of the past and saw your face."
Dotore said: "I have already told you that we Fatui are studying the starry sky. It is nothing to tell you this."
"That is a dream space that is about to dissipate. The cause is an extremely powerful personal wish."
"Using the saying in Liyue's local history, you can also understand that the image is the last afterimage left in the eyes after the person dies."
Gu Sanqiu's heart skipped a beat. How could Duotole even find such a thing?
So the question is, did the other person see it?
Are the Fatui so powerful? Studying the starry sky, or the false sky, is fine, but has the progress reached this point?
Are you going to heaven?
Well, to be precise, we still don’t know whether their research method is to go into the space or to observe on the ground.
"We spent a lot of money to invite a witch to solve our puzzles for us."
Dotole said something shocking: "Gu Shen is very strong, but if he can give me enough time, he may not be stronger than me."
Gu Sanqiu did not rush to refute, but asked back.
"I need a reason."
Dotore stood up from the bench. "It's simple. The pioneer is not necessarily the strongest. This is the same as scientific research."
"Just like the weapons and equipment we provided to the advance team, is it possible that the performance of the technologically innovative equipment is not even as good as the first generation? That doesn't make sense."
"The first generation of fire guns might have had difficulty penetrating even the shield of a rock shield monster, but now one shot can do it."
Dottore said softly, "Now you see, your family is only the first generation in terms of strength."
"But in terms of talent, he is truly unprecedented."
The doctor seemed certain that Gu Shen had broken some kind of restriction back then, which was why he would have the opportunity for "promotion" later.
In short, the doctor seemed to regard Gu Shen as the person who changed the recommendation system to the imperial examination.
Gu Sanqiu understood what Dotole meant, and then thought of the scene he had seen.
Gu Shen rushed to the sky to fight, and finally saw the maintainer of justice. Then, at the cost of erasing his memory and selling himself, he was able to extend his life by a thousand years.
Is the lost memory related to what Dotore said?
Oh my god, no wonder Wendy warned the Doctor not to say weird things, this is really a big deal.
"It seems you are not completely ignorant."
Dottore: "I have done a lot of research on this matter, but from what I can see so far, your family member plays a major role in it."
Gu Sanqiu wiped his face and said, "What other guesses do you have? Tell me all of them at once."
"Well, my guess is that the Demon God War period might be a process of reshaping the rules. As long as the battle is over, the rules will become stable again."
Dottore said: "But this speculation is somewhat in contrast to the overall environment, so we can only keep the main part as a reference."
"Can humans really become powerful? Does anyone on the Supreme Throne really want us to become powerful?"
Gu Sanqiu felt a chill in his heart as he recalled a vague sentence.
[The road that delivers temptation has been blocked]
Dotore's words have already developed in the direction of no taboos.
"There are different opinions among the executive officers, but I am more inclined to believe that your ancestors have disabled a certain rule."
Dotore shook his head: "Liyue's culture is very strange. Some teach you to submit to fate, but others teach you that man can conquer nature."
"God helps the hard-working, which means that as long as you work hard, things will get better."
"What if you really understand it as working hard, someone will pay you a salary?"
"But what if Heaven cannot pay your salary? What will happen then?"
Dotole looked at Gu Sanqiu and said, " So I came to an initial conclusion. Although Gu Shen's strength and his wishes are very powerful, they are not earth-shattering."
"The only possibility is that he represents that era, or the people who suffered a lot in that era, and he embodies the people's hearts and will."
"That's why he fought against the Endless Sky Phenomenon in anger, trying to open a way out."
Times create heroes, but not every era has heroes.
Heroes are like creatures in a lottery. If you can draw one, you can have a whole era of contention among hundreds of schools of thought and thousands of dragons ruling the country in a matter of minutes.
In the human world of Teyvat, there is a law called willpower. This thing is not imaginary, but real.
Mond is the best example.
The kneeling people eventually launched a rebellion against Diocletian, and the people ruled by the tyrant longed for freedom.
No one can tell whether it is the power of will that has achieved a qualitative change and then illuminates the human world, or whether the actions of human beings themselves are the drastic measure that breaks the balance.
If no hero is drawn in the "lottery" of a certain era, we may experience great destruction and disaster, but the wall built by the spirit of unity and blood and courage is more valuable.
