Pokémon: Did you play Pokémon today?

Chapter 316 "Arceus?! A New Legendary Pokémon?!"

"The ruins of the capital! Are they even related to ancient mythology from the Sinnoh region?"

Qi Shu looked at the handsome researcher's back, then at the magnificent and mysterious ice and snow world before him, and his eyes shone with unprecedented excitement.

My heart started beating faster and faster, pounding as if it would jump out of my chest.

"Here it comes! The live stream of exploring the ultimate hidden storyline of Lord Qishu is now officially starting!"

She immediately controlled the little strange tree and jogged to keep up with the handsome researcher.

We climbed step by step along the stone steps eroded by wind and snow, heading towards the unknown mountain peak.

The stairs may not seem long, but in the howling wind and snow and the heavy atmosphere, each step seemed to become more difficult.

There seemed to be an invisible force laying the groundwork, brewing an indescribable sense of solemnity and sanctity for the destination that was about to be reached.

At the edge of the field of vision, the wind and snow seemed to have subsided slightly.

As Little Wonder Tree followed the handsome researcher, he stepped off the last stone step.

At the summit of the snow-capped mountain, the ruins of the capital city, guarded by ancient legends and wind and snow, were finally revealed to them without reservation!

It was a white stone platform, like a round table of the gods, quietly suspended above the mountain peak, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding rugged snow-capped mountains.

Six massive stone pillars, each in varying degrees of damage yet still standing tall and unyielding, rise from the ground according to some mysterious pattern, piercing the clouds obscured by wind and snow!

What's most astonishing is that no matter how fiercely the blizzard raged outside the platform, not a single snowflake could drift into the area of ​​this circular platform!

The platform is clean and sacred, filled with a tranquil and holy atmosphere that is isolated from the world.

Dreamlike, and extremely mysterious.

"This is the ruins of the capital city—"

Qi Shu tried to describe this shocking scene in words, but found that any words seemed pale and powerless at this moment.

"It feels like...it feels like...suddenly stepping into a mythological story..."

She could only murmur the most direct feelings.

The comments section paused briefly before flooding back up.

"Wow! This scene! This modeling! Are Salty Fish's art team gods?!"

"Everyone stand up! This atmosphere! It's so sacred! It's just a game screen, why do I feel like kneeling down?!"

"Six stone pillars! This layout! It's similar to the Spear Pillars in Sinnoh! But not exactly the same!"

"No snow on the platform! What's the principle behind this?! A force field? Or... a miracle?"

"I'm getting goosebumps—I have a feeling the big one is coming!"

"Teacher Salty Fish! What kind of game producer are you anyway?!"

At this moment.

Both Qishu and all the viewers in the live stream had a tacit premonition.

The real highlight, the truth hidden behind layers of legends and mysteries, is about to be revealed!

In the center of the ruins platform, the ground rises slightly, forming a huge triangular altar.

Each corner of the triangle is carved with complex and ancient mysterious totems.

The three totems echo each other, jointly guarding a slightly concave circular platform at the very core.

The location of that platform exudes a sense of supreme prestige.

Just then, the handsome researcher standing in the center of the platform spoke again.

His voice was calmer than the wind and snow, yet every word touched the hearts of his listeners.

"Handsome Researcher: This place is called the Three Illusions Stage —"

"Handsome Researcher: It is a sacred stage, built specifically to worship a supreme being—Arzeus—and is closest to the sky and the origin."

"Handsome Researcher: In the oldest fragments of documents, there was such an obscure record."

"Handsome Researcher: Once Arceus steps onto this stage, time, space, and the antimatter world—are born here."

"It sounds amazing—but it also feels so outrageous—"

Qi Shu unconsciously swallowed, his mind churning with doubt.

She had never heard of the name "Arzeus".

But the moment the handsome researcher uttered that name in such a solemn tone, an immense thirst for knowledge surged through her, almost making her tremble.

It was like an invisible hand, tightly gripping her heart!

It made her unconsciously and uncontrollably want to explore, understand, and unravel the mysteries!

Judging from the handsome researcher's description, this "Arceus" does not seem to be an ordinary legendary Pokémon.

His status and position were probably unimaginably high!

This sacred stage was built specifically for it?!

Even more outrageous is that its existence is directly related to the birth of "time," "space," and even the seemingly unbelievable "antimatter world"?!

this----

This is completely beyond her conventional understanding of "Legendary Pokémon"!

She had never been so eager, so desperate, to know the answer to a question.

Who is Arceus?

Or rather, is it...?

The confusion and shock expressed in the comments were clearly no less than those expressed by Qi Shu.

Arceus?! A new legendary Pokémon?!

"Genesis?! The birth of time, space, and antimatter is all related to it?! Isn't this setting a bit too outrageous?!"

"The birth of the world? That's incredibly high-brow—it's practically outer space!"

"I suddenly feel like the legendary birds and Suicune I encountered before have all become weaker versions of themselves?" (No disrespect intended)

"Teacher Salty Fish's worldview—the more you dig, the deeper it seems! Could any of this be true? I don't believe it!"

"The Sinnoh mythology? I remember now! Cynthia Champion seems to have studied the related mythology!"

"Salted Fish Teacher has dug such a deep hole this time! Is he trying to build a theory about the origin of the Pokémon universe?!"

Soon, their doubts began to be answered, taking the first step towards a solution.

Under the breathless gaze of the strange tree and countless spectators.

The handsome researcher slowly stepped onto the circular platform located in the very center of the triangular totem, symbolizing "uniqueness".

"The handsome researcher: The patterns on the Three Realms Stage depict the Pokémon that legend says created the world."

He lowered his head, looking at the faintly glowing patterns on his feet, his voice as if reciting an ancient epic.

"Handsome Researcher: The circle in the very center symbolizes Arceus, the source of all things and the beginning of everything."

His finger gestured towards the three sides of the triangular altar.

"Handsome Researcher: The three totem emblems, each radiating a different aura, represent three beings born from the power of Arceus who wield the fundamental authority of the world."

"Handsome Researcher: Dialga, who controls the laws of time and travels between dimensions."

"Handsome Researcher: Palkia who controls the structure of space and sculpts the form of reality."

"The handsome researcher: and—the one who, in contrast to time and space, governs all opposites, the mirror, and balance, resides in the inverted world of Giratina."

After finishing his introduction, he slowly closed his eyes.

The sound of wind and snow seemed to be isolated and weakened by an invisible force at this moment.

He read a passage in a soft but incredibly clear voice.

"Handsome Researcher: Overcome the Laws of Spacetime —"

The voice echoed like ripples on the snow-capped mountain peak, quietly blending into the wind and snow.

next second.

A soft yet incredibly powerful pure white light once again emanated from the handsome researcher!

This time, the light was many times brighter than it had been at the Aluf ruins!

It was no longer confined to individuals, but like the rising sun, it instantly illuminated the entire ruins of the capital city shrouded in wind and snow!

Buzz—

In the ruins, the six broken stone pillars that had been silent for countless years were awakened at the same time and began to tremble!

Each stone pillar emitted three streams of energy of different colors, like ancient runic chains with life, soaring into the sky!

They intertwined and swirled in the air, encircling the entire sacred platform!

Eighteen streams of energy collided and swirled in the air, eventually being summoned by the core, and converged wildly above the circular platform. As the light intertwined, it grew increasingly intense, and a blurry, divine phantom began to gradually condense and appear at the source of the light!

The phantom was as elegant and slender as a deer, and as spirited and proud as a horse. Its four feet did not tread on the ground, but lightly touched the void, and each step rippled out circles of space.

A dazzling golden light swirled and converged at his waist, condensing into a sacred cross-shaped waist ring containing infinite mysteries, radiating a brilliance that inspired awe in all things.

The upper body of the phantom gradually became clear, with flowing white mane spreading out like clouds, and its head slightly lowered.

That posture was not one of humility, but rather one as if the Creator were examining the world in the palm of his hand.

What is most chilling is the pair of scarlet pupils that slowly light up on the phantom's head!

Although the phantom at this moment lacks true divine charm and will, it exudes a sense of holiness and majesty originating from the very source of life and existence.

It was as if it were a tangible weight pressing down on the hearts of everyone who witnessed it!

"So beautiful—and so terrifying—"

Qi Shu stared blankly at the unimaginable scene, his mind a complete blank, even forgetting his duties as a broadcaster.

He murmured to himself as if in a dream, his pupils reflecting the sacred light.

The rapidly scrolling comments in the live stream room fell into an almost reverent silence, a rare occurrence at this moment.

All the audience members, whether they had been joking, questioning, or excited before, were now completely immersed in this "miraculous" scene that transcended the scope of a game.

They held their breath, their eyes fixed on the phantom of the creator god in the image, outlined by light and the relics of the ancient gods.

In the silence, only the unchanging wind and snow howled outside the platform.

In everyone's mind, a name spontaneously came to mind—the very name that had just been solemnly uttered by the handsome researcher.

The name that was just revealed.

Arceus, the source of all things.

Then, inside the game, the handsome researcher's voice, tinged with a relaxed smile, rang out again.

It was like the warm sunshine that gently broke the silence.

"Handsome researcher: Feed? Can you hear me? This is the first time I've witnessed anything like this. Feeling dizzy is normal, relax~"

He reached out and patted the little strange tree's shoulder with amusement, his tone returning to its usual gentle and casual manner, creating a wonderful contrast to the sacred and solemn atmosphere just now.

"Handsome Researcher: You guessed right, the not-yet-fully-solidified phantom before you is the legendary creator god, Arceus, the origin of all Pokémon and the world."

"Handsome Researcher: In the most widely circulated myth version in the Sinnoh region, it was born from an egg in the Void, and then used a thousand hands to create and give this world its original form and laws —"

At this point, he suddenly bent down.

He made a whispering gesture, leaned close to Xiao Qishu's ear, and spoke in a mysterious voice that was alluring and enticing.

"Handsome Researcher: However, you should know that myths and legends are not necessarily 100% accurate; they are often processed and imagined by countless generations..."

"Handsome Researcher: Did it truly create the world as myths claim? And what kind of power does it possess?"

"Handsome researcher: Why don't you go and see for yourself?"

He straightened up and pointed to the three triangular totems on the ground that were emitting a faint light.

"Handsome Researcher: Choose the one that interests you from the three emblems representing time, space, and antimatter, and stand on it."

"Handsome Researcher: And then—you might be able to glimpse, with your mortal body, the scene of the world's birth."

His words were spoken casually, without any dramatic ups and downs.

But the information contained in his words sent chills down Qi Shu's spine and plunged him into utter shock and horror!

"Creating, creating the world—that kind of thing—"

Qi Shu inexplicably felt a fear originating from the edge of cognition, an emotion that naturally arose after being shocked to the extreme and beyond the scope of understanding.

"Can something like this really be presented so openly and brazenly?! That salted fish sauce is really something—"

This time they went too far —

After a brief delay, the comments section descended into complete chaos and frenzy.

"What did I just hear?! Witness the birth of the world firsthand?!"

"Has the game's storyline progressed this far?! From Pokémon bonds to witnessing creation?! Is this really something we can experience?!"

"Choosing time, space, or antimatter—the significance of this option is too great! Each one represents a completely different creational perspective branch?!"

"Teacher Salty Fish: Let's broaden our horizons! This time, we won't be champions or heroes; we'll simply observe this groundbreaking event!"

"This level of sophistication—it's already broken through the heavens and is heading towards the multiverse!"

"The art direction and programming are absolutely amazing! The lighting! The special effects! The performance! I'd believe it if you told me it was a movie-quality cutscene!"

"Mythological Archaeology Simulator (×) Creator God First-Person Perspective Experience ()"

"That might be a documentary screening room up ahead (doge emoji)."

"Calm down! Calm down, Kiju!"

Qishu shook his head violently and slapped his bouncy little face twice.

Brain! I command you to calm down!

"It's just a game! It's just a game!"

"Maybe—maybe what follows is just a really amazing CG animation!"

"Yes! That must be it!"

After mentally preparing herself, she took a few deep breaths and refocused her gaze on the three totem emblems emanating different auras in the game screen.

"May I choose one of the three emblems? To witness the birth of the world—"

"Whether it's real or not, this live stream is going to be a huge hit!"
