Othua's War Banner

Chapter 142: 0141: Qi Wen

"I have too many things, I want to ask them face to face!"

Ken stood still, frowning.

He stared at the majestic sculpture, only vaguely seeing its smooth outline.

Those are the traces carved out by the wind and snow for many years. Looking at it as a whole, it looks like a three-dimensional version of the murals, all of which are black and blue, like a piece of solid ice left over from ancient times.

[Old News: Chanting the Gods]

【He is right in front of you, but mortals don't know where to stare. Ice created the vast Palotusbi, but the children of Fengxue don't know how to approach and understand Him. 】

Ken felt that this huge mountain-like sculpture could see through him. After the other party penetrated the fog, he wanted to guide him into the depths of his consciousness.

Ken didn't choose to refuse. He had this experience before. In [Sound Forest], those [spirits] wandering around had also changed the notes and used it as a tool to communicate with himself.

[Remarks... Do you want to call it that? 】

The old god Winter Mother, or should be said to be Qiwen, is communicating with herself.

This kind of connection is very weak, barely stretching out a hand through the narrow gap, and there is still an insurmountable obstacle between the two people.

[I have never seen its original appearance, I only know that this thing can change the fate of the continent of Osua. 】

According to Qi Wen's description.

It was an opportunity obtained by the old gods after paying a heavy price, but no one knew what it could do, not even the wise "Xinbio" could understand it clearly.

Shujisi believes that it is an artifact capable of subverting the continent.

But Dongmu felt that it was a flame that could melt ice.

……

Different people will have different understandings when they get it.

The old gods communicated and circulated for a long time, even after the first tens of thousands of years, until the fall of the dwarven dynasty, Palotusbi could not breathe in the long-term chaos and war...

They still haven't figured it out.

But the status quo in the northern region no longer allows the old gods to wait any longer. They can only give this thing to one person, put all their hopes on it, and see if they can do something.

"So, you are not the gods of the mainland, you only care about the northern border? You only care about the rise and fall of Palotusbi."

[Old God, originated from the northern border, only belongs to the northern border. 】

Qiwen explained that the old gods were only in charge of the northernmost tip of the Usua continent, and even before they lost their bodies, they used to walk on the land in human form.

He emphasized that the northern frontier is vital to Osuya and is land that must be defended.

"Then why did you choose me?" Ken folded his arms, he was not interested in Continental Xinmi. "Why don't you use it yourself, since this gift is so powerful, why bother to give it to a completely uncontrollable individual, even a mortal!"

【We have no freedom, and we don't have a body that can walk in the world. 】

"Grab one."

Ken seemed to be provocative, he made a gesture of choking his neck.

"Palotus is living in faith. There must be countless mortals who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause of the old gods. Besides, the reason you said is so noble that it is related to the fate of the entire continent."

【…】

Qiwen, or the old god, fell into a momentary confusion after this answer.

[You serve killing?Or, it’s strange that you like to do whatever you can, I haven’t seen Shouluo, nor have you foreseen a dark throne in your destiny, or a tragic scene of blood flowing like a river. 】

Now, it was Ken's turn to feel his scalp go numb.

When he said this, he originally wanted to test the mind of the old god.

After all, according to various signs in the past, the old gods still retain the most basic disposition, such as Qi Wen, who once showed strong pain and regret when Sandon Kaya was slaughtered.

Didn't Ken expect that Qi Wen could directly look up his past experiences?
He slapped himself on the head violently, and suddenly remembered that he could do it in the first place - the old gods just gave him the ability of [omniscient], experienced it for a short time, glimpsed the encounter between Selina and himself, and deduced the origin of the incident result.

[You feel stunned now, annoyed, why? 】

Qi Wen continued to question.

He seems to be full of curiosity about this human being, like a nagging elder who clearly has an insurmountable gap, but still wants to understand it clearly.

"Forget it, pretend I didn't say it." Ken frowned and waved, "You should answer my question directly."

[We can't use it, let alone interfere, this is the price we have to pay to get it. 】

The Old Gods are not omnipotent, or even omniscient.

Their jurisdiction is limited to the northern border. As for the vast southern region of the Osuya continent, the southern border countries have another upward presence.

This is why conflicts often break out between southerners and northerners.

The conflict between them is not only due to culture and interests. In a sense, as early as the age of the old gods, the two sides were already completely different forces, and each had its own affiliation.

Qi Wen explained that they can no longer affect the mainland, so they can only choose a container to carry the "remarks".

Ken thought for a long time and asked, "Then why me?"

【You are clean, you have no past, and the future is a mystery. No one can occupy you or affect you. This is agreed. 】

Qiwen said that the old gods put everything together and wanted to gamble on the future of Palotusbi.

But in the contract, it is clearly stipulated that the old gods cannot personally interfere.

Therefore, there are also restrictions on the choice of containers. First of all, his race must be human, but the aborigines in the north are excluded because they have been nurtured and grown up in their beliefs. They have ties to the north and blind obedience to the gods. They are not absolute free.

Of course, people from southern Xinjiang cannot be chosen, because they belong to different groups and avoid being influenced by other existences.

As for the spirit bodies wandering on the sea surface, they will not be considered.

Ken listened quietly.

He closed his eyes and finally waited for this point, so he looked up at the magnificent sculpture and asked:

"Then, who am I?"

【…】

The dense fog was rolling, and something was affecting Qi Wen.

The connection between them became weaker, and this question seemed to be taboo, becoming part of the contract and not allowed to be mentioned.

Ken woke up from the wilderness in the north and was in the vast Palotusbi. From being alone to the tribal banner, there were countless followers behind him, as well as subjects who believed in him and relied on their lives.

But he never knew, where did he come from?
Judging from his appearance alone, he is from southern Xinjiang, but he has no relevant memories of that vaster and completely unfamiliar territory at all.

He has nothing, indeed, as the old gods said, he is clean and pure, but even he himself does not know...

"Or, am I human?"

[Of course you are, the soul we selected, the soul outside of the Usua continent. 】

Qi Wen reappeared in consciousness, but the answer was already very weak. He was warned that this communication was about to end.

[Old God, I beg you to save this suffering land. 】

"What if I can't?"

Qiwen was silent for a moment, and finally answered with the sentence he had seen.

【That shows that fate is boring, it doesn't like waves. 】
