Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 620 Seven Lands War
“Nice answer.”

Mortimer applauded.

"Over the years, the Silent Society has received several people before you who we believe have deviated from the world line. They all expressed varying degrees of disapproval of this. But you are the first one as extreme as you."

"My personal opinion is that it may have something to do with your background." Mortimer's smile returned to his face. "Born in an orphanage, and living in a corporate alliance where everything is weighed on a scale, it seems reasonable to hold this view?"

"You can guess whatever you want." Song Shi said lazily, "But I advise you not to guess."

"Then I'm sorry about that." Mortimer shrugged, his tone very sincere: "Do you need to rest for a while?"

"No need." Song Shi sneered: "A real historical node, I am in a complete state - it's time to eat dinner, rest? Are you kidding."

Mortimer tapped the table with his index finger.

A soft sound echoed in the air.

Indescribably gorgeous light poured down and poured into the seemingly infinitely divided colorful glass maze. The fragmented glass had countless sides, and each side reflected an intricate scene.

Every aspect and every scene actually happened on Terra hundreds and thousands of years ago.

——The Supreme Wonder: [Infinity of All Things].

These turbulent and changing scenes surrounded the two of them, as if they were in the center of a storm.

"You're right. The Great Mud Mountain is not really a historical node." Mortimer admired the broken glass. "Whether Bi Qing lived or died, and no matter how many people survived the remnant of the Northern Sky Army, no matter which direction it sailed, it would not affect the East Continent at that time. Even if Xiao Changlie successfully broke the destined death and finally broke through the fifth ring, the New Sky Army would still be no match for the full efforts of the Seven Upper Sects."

"Their weight on the scale of history." Mortimer raised his index finger and drew an imaginary scale out of thin air: "Too light."

"So as you wish, the little games before class are over, and the real test officially begins now—"

Mortimer casually slapped the scales apart, and with his five fingers, he pulled out a magnificent painting with a "swish", which looked like a creation made of movie film floating in front of both parties.

"Pick one. Where would you like to go to witness those real historical moments?"

"The 'Akphalis Disaster' that caused the demise of a great empire? The 'Battle of Heaven' that brought together the best of the East Continent and defeated the Zhongtian Divine Court? The past of the Phampusta Empire, the struggle between the First Dynasty and the Second Dynasty? Even more distantly, the bloody period of brutal fighting between humans and humans, and between humans and other intelligent races?"

Song Shi listened quietly, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose.

“The answer is neither.”

"Oh?" Mortimer stopped pulling the scroll. "Aren't these attractive enough?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Song Shi gave his answer: "Not enough."

"Hey, the Battle of Conquering Heaven?" The young man shook his head. "Those glorious deeds of our ancestors are indeed inspiring and have laid the foundation for who we are today. However, apart from that, that was just a period when technology was still in its infancy and the pinnacle of psychic energy might not have reached the peak of the fifth ring."

"The Acre-Akphalis calamity? It sounds scary. I have occasionally heard people mention it over the years." Song Shi rejected it: "But this empire called 'Acre-Akphalis', no matter how vast its territory is or how prosperous its civilization is, it is just a single country. No matter how exaggerated the disaster that caused it to fall and perish, it is ultimately just the fate of a country."

"As for the fighting between those non-human races, it is even less attractive."

Song Shi said calmly: "Let's not talk about how many years ago that happened and how far psychic power has developed. The fact that they failed to defeat humans in the end and became a footnote in history is not worth my efforts. If they can meet my standards, I don't know how busy I would be." "What a ruthless criticism." Mortimer did not show an expression of approval, but he did not deny it either: "So."

"I am a modern psychic." Song Shi nodded: "The path of [Dayuan] took thousands of years, and countless psychics' trial and error, innovation and accumulation, to have me today."

"So I am better than them—so I must be better than them."

"Going back to the past and participating in their disputes and great achievements? I admit that this is very attractive. If it were any other time, I would have agreed to it long ago." Song Shi smiled, a hearty and unwavering smile: "But now is not any other time."

At some point, Mortimer started laughing too.

The man gestured "please".

"The Seven Lands War."

Song Shi spoke word by word.

"——Historical Node, I would choose the Seven Lands War."

Mortimer covered his forehead lightly and chuckled, "Can I say that I had expected this?"

"Predicted this?" Song Shi didn't even move his eyebrows: "You've already given me a revelation, what else can I say?"

"Such a typical prejudice on the road." Mortimer curled his lips: "Do you need divination services before departure?"

Song Shi clapped his hands: "Yes, that's it."

He said thoughtfully, "You tell fortunes for people before they leave, and they become wary. But after they take a series of evasive measures, the prediction turns out to be true. This is a trick you [Revelation] love to play. I can find a lot of people who have been deceived by flipping through any fable book."

Mortimer smacked his lips.

"Oh, there is another question." Song Shi pondered, "Sitting on the infinite universe, your Silent Society is equivalent to having a set of Terran Encyclopedia, and you can salvage good things at will, such as the pure white creature's singularity technology 'Complete Genome Map Compilation'? That thing was sunk into the abyss, and Jade Pharmaceuticals can't find it no matter how hard you try."

"But why haven't I heard of the reappearance of 'Complete Genome Map Compilation'?"

"【Infinity of All Things】 involves the laws of space and time and the law of causality. It is not easy to break through both of them at the same time." Mortimer answered neatly: "You should be able to imagine how important a singularity technology is."

"Even if you manage to snatch it from the pure white creature, you can't break through the dual restrictions of the laws of time and space and causality and bring it back to reality."

It's not a simple matter
The implication is that it is not impossible.

Song Shixin thought.

"Records and Truth", relying on [Infinity of Everything], the Society of the Silent Ones might be the most powerful force in Terra today.

If you think about it this way, if there wasn't a [God's Throne] sitting there, it would have been heavily exploited by various forces for gold coins.
