Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 235 Anomalies
Staben had no defenses against letting "Bai Zao" know his honorific name, nor did he have any worries.

But when he heard that "Bai Zao" actually mentioned him, he felt a sense of familiarity with the honorific name he had just revealed, and he could no longer sit still.

"Hmm? You said you've heard of this name before. When was it?"

Star, with a look of horror on his face, asked "Bai Zao".

This was indeed the first time he let others know his honorific name, and "Bai Zao" had not been "born" in the strict sense before this, so how could he know his honorific name?

And Star did not suspect that "Bai Zao" was deliberately trying to scare him or bluff him -

After all, "Bai Zao" is not a prankster like Amon, so there is no need to tease him about such things.

If "Bai Zao" wants to "fully recover", he will have to confront the high-ranking beings of the "All Five Families" -

In this regard, not only do their three views converge (at least they converge after "empathy"), but they also naturally have common interests, making them rare allies.

"Bai Zao" naturally knew this, and there was no way he would deliberately deceive him in this regard...

Moreover, in "empathy", "Bai Zao" could not tell lies - this kind of substantial emotion of surprise or even joy is obvious to him, and if he wants to disguise it, it is impossible to disguise it so perfectly.

And if "Bai Zao" feels joy after a successful prank such as teasing, Star, the person who releases "channel" and "empathy", will also know it.

Therefore, for such a thing that "not being able to deceive Star successfully and being labeled as 'a liar and unreliable'" is not worth the loss, how could "Bai Zao" make a boring attempt?

He is not the "villain" in some book who enjoys deceiving people.

Therefore, in response to Bai Zao's words that did not seem false, Sta immediately began his questioning.

He was also very curious, why did "Bai Zao" say that he felt familiar with his honorific name? You know, this was the first time he told this honorific name to others.

However, Bai Zao obviously didn't know about this either. After all, he expressed the same confusion to Star like this:

“This is indeed the first time I have heard of this honorable name.”

"Besides, I have never heard of this three-part honorific name before."

However, as if catching this flash of inspiration, "Bai Zao" continued to think:
"Of course, I have never heard of this honorable name, and this matter is also very strange."

"Strange, I used to be the 'All-Knowing and All-Powerful One'. I know everything about the Old Ones above the Sequence in the starry sky and the various ancient gods on Earth. There shouldn't be anything I've missed."

He tried hard to recall, as if trying to dig it out from his remaining memories:
Why on earth did he feel familiar with this honorific name?
What's even more strange is that this is indeed the first time he has heard of Star's name?

So, if he had known this honorific name before, where did he learn this strange three-part honorific name from?

"An outlier from a distant time and space", "the boundary between illusion and reality", "the endless possibility of tampering with everything"...

Bai Zao silently recited the name that Star mentioned to him:

The names used in mysticism all have special meanings.

In other words, this three-part honorific name must contain a description pointing to the core or main authority held by Star.

So, what do these three honorific names have to do with Star?

After a strange silence, Bai Zao finally spoke again:

"I'm sure I know the whereabouts of all the high-ranking beings in this universe, so how come you suddenly appeared?"

"Bai Zao" finally asked this sharp question.

"Also, if I did know your name before, but I just can't remember it, when was it?"

Was it during those days when he was “God”?

Or, was it in the whispers that "God" once told him?

Impossible...absolutely impossible!
Moreover, based on the previous speculation about "there are still masters", could it be that there are still horrible existences in this world that they don't know about yet?
But if it was the "Creator", wouldn't He have already fallen asleep...

No, no!

[The world has been crazy since the beginning! ]

Bai Zao didn't know why he suddenly denied this answer, so he hurriedly asked Star:

"what is this!"

"Why does your honorable name make me feel so familiar?!"

There was panic in his tone, which made Star pause.

So why is this?

Star also wanted to know. He intuitively realized that the answer was very important - it involved the truth between "reality" and the source of his biggest mystery - his origins.

But he "changed his mind" and "suddenly" asked:
"Which part of the honorific name do you feel familiar with?"

This is to better communicate with "Bai Zao" in order to locate where the problem occurred.

"'Outlier', that's the 'outlier'."

"Bai Zao" roared, as if the name caused such great emotional fluctuations that even Star's "empathy" could not maintain it well.

It seemed as if he was about to roar back into the same crazy state as the real Creator.

wrong!

He's not crazy!
This is really important!

"Anomaly"! "Anomaly"!
This definitely touched a corner of his heart, and it was a very important memory.

Who is he? Who is he?
The important person, the person who can't be forgotten, the person who I don't want to forget...

Who are you? Your name is?

I can’t remember it.

……

"Bai Zao" seemed to be crazy, he seemed to dream back to the "ancient times", when it was:

[Betrayal Banquet]

No, no, not this [Banquet of Betrayal].

It was strange why he couldn't remember.

As if he had lost something very important, "Bai Zao" pondered and even used the "backup hidden energy" of the "divine bone" in the staff - that is, the power generated by the connection between the divine bone of the evil god's offspring and the "Chaos Sea", and the connection with the thing in the "Chaos Sea" that symbolizes "omniscience and omnipotence".

It seems that this is the reason——

With a loud bang, the void around shattered like glass, and all the scenes collapsed.

A kind of evil.

An indescribable horror.

A destructive force that only exists in the deepest "chaos".

It was as if something substantial was about to descend upon this world from a place that could not be touched by any dream;
As if outside the ordered world, it came tumbling and boiling from the center of "everything" and "infinity";

It was like an inconceivable force that was eroding this place without a clear shape, desecrating "everything";
……

Just when everything was about to be irreversible.

Just at this moment, light came from "chaos" -

This light covers the infinite universe, runs through the dimensions, and combines with the automatically unfolding "between reality and illusion", so that the phantom of star-like light patterns covers the "white creation".

Or perhaps, in a place they don't even know yet.

It compresses everything around the destructive force into an extremely small size - or even the word "extremely small" is not appropriate, because "everything" has been "tampered with" and turned into nothingness, and it is the ultimate "chaos" where not even the slightest secret can be discovered.

……

Everything is back to normal.

...And Star sensed the danger, and taking this opportunity, he quickly interrupted Bai Zao's idea of ​​continuing to think.

"Calm down!"

"Stop!"

"I always feel that your thoughts are dangerous!"

"No, no, no. That is a very important answer!" "Bai Zao" spoke with madness.

But he "seemed to know" that he could no longer remember what he wanted to say, and could only speak in a low voice mixed with madness:

"I am awake... that... that is definitely the 'answer' that is very closely related to me."

"That is... that is the 'truth' of 'everything', the 'ultimate' of 'the end'... or, maybe not the 'ultimate'..."

At the end of his speech, he began to mutter to himself, "In vain" and he himself didn't know what he was talking about...

Seeing that Bai Zao was finally able to communicate well, Star comforted him:
"Maybe I understand how you feel."

At this point, he suddenly didn't know what to say, so he could only continue speaking in a disconsolate manner while pretending to think hard:
"Maybe it's because... the path I'm on..."

"'Tampering' pathway sequence 1, the name is 'Anomaly'."

He tried to calm Bai Zao down, or to let everyone just fool around with this matter...

Don't delve into it any further...

At this time, "Bai Zao" seemed to be under the influence of Star, and "for some reason" suddenly became as calm as if he had entered the "sage" time, and became as if entering madness with a "cooling-off period" and could only become extremely rational again.

He asked puzzledly: "The 'tampering' path... Sequence 1... 'outlier'?"

"Yes, 'odd number'."

Star nodded as if confirming Baizao's statement, and then he heard Baizao's question coming from the "channel":

"The 'tampering' path... strange... it seems that this path has 'never existed' before..."

"But if it's a path that has never appeared before... and you are the 'Supreme' of this path... then it makes sense why your abilities seem to have no side effects or costs..."

"But this still doesn't explain why 'oddity' feels familiar to me?"

Star was about to ask a question, but after hearing the last doubt, he explained:

"Because I was promoted through 'cross-pathway medication'."

"Because I was finally promoted to Sequence 1 'Anomaly', I need a Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics from your 'Omniscience and Omnipotence' field."

"Ok?"

If "Bai Zao" could make expressions, he would definitely make an expression of "subway, old man, mobile phone" at this moment.

He almost blurted out, "Young man, you are very brave. You take potions across channels to advance, and you also want to take one of their Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics for yourself."

But after being shocked, "Bai Zao" was stunned at first, and then asked back as if relieved:
"I see. You might be a strand of 'humanity' that was separated from the 'Creator'? Anyway, the truth should be similar to this, right?"

"What on earth is going on in your head? Am I like the 'creator'?"

Star complained helplessly, then said:
"You're not going to say that my process of advancing through different paths is actually a process of gradually taking back my 'authority' so that I can eventually become the 'Creator'?"

"No, I didn't think so. You said it yourself." Bai Zao sighed helplessly, and then his explanation came from the "channel", "I just explained a 'possibility'. It is possible that you are related to the 'Creator', and that is why your path is so special."

"It's not necessarily the human side of the 'Prime Creator' - it could be other 'possibilities'... Anyway, after meeting you, I realized that there are actually many things I don't know about myself, the 'Half-Step Ancient'."

"In other words, there are many special things about you..."

Special, that's true... Star nodded. He himself couldn't figure out his own existence. Then, he heard Bai Zao pause and say in a thoughtful tone:

"So, the 'sense of familiarity' I feel is related to the name of the Sequence 1 you are about to be promoted to?"

When Star heard this, he froze for a moment, and finally said as if guessing:

“Is it possible…?”

He had a vague feeling that letting "Bai Zao" guess this way was a safer option.

He is related to the "Creator", so it's not surprising that "Bai Zao" knows his name... Bullshit!
This is complete bullshit!
It might be better to say that the word "outlier" carries a mystical connection due to the need to be promoted to "omniscience and omnipotence", so that "Bai Zao" in the field of "omniscience and omnipotence" - the once "half-step old day" in the field of "omniscience and omnipotence" - has an inexplicable sense of "familiarity".

This was at least within Star's comprehension.

But strangely enough, after the "Tampering" path sequence 4, which is the so-called demigod in other paths, its style is very different from that of other paths.

Even the promotion ceremony and the auxiliary materials needed for promotion made Star feel that it was too beyond the standard.

Are you deliberately making things difficult for him?
For example, up to now, "Between Reality and Illusion" has not shown him the name of the god he will become after he is promoted to [God], so when Star set up the three-stage honorific name, he used the name "Anomaly" of the "Tampering" path sequence 1.

This is also what Star once suspected - the "Sequence 0" that will not "tamper" with the path, that is, the position of "God", has not been "set" yet?

However, after looking at the somewhat ambiguous and even abstract promotion ceremony and the auxiliary materials required for promotion, Star also knew that this was also a joke.

Or maybe, it is also possible that it is because - it is very difficult to become a "god" through the "tampering" path, so "Between Reality and Illusion" himself feels that before he reaches the "outlier" of sequence 1 of the "tampering" path, he should not think too much?

Haha, then don't think about it in vain... Star smiled and continued to chat with "Bai Zao" about the question he wanted to ask just now:
"By the way, you said that I was 'tampering' with the pathways, so it makes sense why these abilities of mine seem to have no side effects when used. What does that mean?"

"What I mean is, just like the old saying among you flower growers called 'Yin and Yang coexist', if this path 'never existed' and was created by you - then you can also transfer the 'crazy' side of this path to other aspects..."

"Bai Zao" guessed, then paused, not knowing how to continue - perhaps it was because he had never thought deeply about this aspect of mystical knowledge before meeting Sta, and just treated it as a "guess".

Even the possibility of creating a path out of thin air is amazing...

Therefore, he could only guess within the scope of his knowledge of mysticism:
"Like transferring to something like 'adjacent pathways'?"

"Adjacent Path"... It seems that I didn't explain to "Bai Zao" clearly how to advance through the "Tampering" path -

Judging from the way the "tampering" pathway spans nine pathways, perhaps it doesn't have the concept of "adjacent pathways"...

After hearing Bai Zao's response, Star thought about it in his heart, and then he said to Bai Zao:
"It's better to say that this path has no cost from the beginning."

In this way, he filled himself with "flags".
