Alien Paradise.

Chapter 405: The Authority of the First God
Yes, when the green light burst out, even Shiyin didn’t know what he was experiencing.

In fact, that flood of information did not leave much in the mind, or rather, the sudden influx of massive amounts of information triggered the brain's protective mechanism, resulting in the memory becoming quite vague after waking up from a coma.

But only two words remained clearly.

thank.

"I just brought the words from fifteen years ago." Chaoyang walked forward and stretched his hand towards the cone in full view of everyone. Before he could touch it, the cone suddenly turned into a green light, flew into his palm, and then disappeared.

"what!"

The God of Hidden Mist and her two believers suddenly became nervous and watched Chaoyang's every move closely.

But nothing unusual happened to him.

"Chaoyang?" Elodie asked tentatively.

Chaoyang came back to his senses. In just a few seconds, he felt as if he had experienced more than ten years... Yes, these ten years were exactly what Wei Mi conveyed. The anger of being trapped, the hatred of the cause and effect mechanism, the determination to mobilize more forces to fight... and the desire for freedom. Even if it was only a small part of Wei Mi entering this world, it still had all the abilities of the first god.

"It's okay. This world will no longer be affected by the mystery, and the danger to the Acropolis has been completely eliminated." Chaoyang whispered, as if he was telling everyone, but also as if he was talking to himself.

Everyone remained silent.

He raised his head, looking at the worried faces of the crowd, and smiled after realizing it, "That's right... If I don't tell you the origin of these things, you won't feel at ease. The Acropolis being swallowed by the fog is actually just the beginning of the story. For the next fifteen years, Weimi has been thinking about how to escape, because the heart used to summon it has been planted with a cause and effect mechanism. When the fog is lifted, the mechanism will be activated. I'm not sure what the specific effect is, but it is likely that the God of Cause and Effect will take away part of it."

"Cause and effect mechanism?" Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Even the gods who had lived for thousands of years had never heard of this term before.

"How did you know?" Shadow asked seriously.

"Weimi told me." Chaoyang shrugged.

This is another explosive news!

"The evil god talked to you!?"

"It's not a literal communication, it's more like a puzzle game where you draw and I guess." He made up a story, and no one could verify its authenticity. "Anyway, I think I can understand its meaning a little bit, and it also knows this. Back to the topic, Weimi has deconstructed the essence of the causal mechanism bit by bit in the past fifteen years, which has enabled it to gain the ability of the God of Causality to a certain extent, which is to control time."

This content seemed extremely bizarre even to the gods. But no one spoke to refute Chaoyang, because they all knew that anything that was difficult to understand was understandable to the gods.

"In fact, it not only comprehended the ability to control time, but also mastered some of the effects of the fog. After the Acropolis was liberated, it was isolated from the information because of this relic." Chaoyang continued, "But at that time, it was still imprisoned by the God of Hidden Mist. Judging from the order of priority, the Evil God of Karma will descend on the Brilliant Castle first. Even if the fog is lifted, another Evil God will be waiting for it."

Fortunately, what Wei Mi waited for was not the order of cause and effect, but Chao Yang and his group. As the fog was gradually dispelled, the cause and effect mechanism was about to start. Wei Mi activated its ability before the "cause" was satisfied. It not only condensed the information into characters, but also made time flow back fifteen years - even if it only flowed back a few dozen people. This also explains why it did not expand its influence and send more people to the past: because it was too late.

"Fortunately, the ending is good. Weimi achieved its goal, and the Acropolis was not swallowed by the fog. The moment it left this place, it expressed its gratitude to me, and this item should be its thank-you gift."

"Pah, pah, pah."

Pickup applauded.

"You are worthy of being the man I choose, as you are able to receive the gratitude of the ancient gods with your mortal body." You said it as if you had the right to choose, and Chaoyang rolled his eyes at the top of his head.

"Weimi has mastered some of the power of cause and effect... This news is too scary." Shadow murmured, "This world may become more dangerous. But everything you have done has given me a glimmer of hope... I never thought I could defeat the evil gods, and oblivion is always a passive response, but if we can reach some kind of agreement with them, humans may be able to find a place to breathe."

"So...what kind of thank-you gift did it leave behind?" Kokomochi asked, unable to suppress her curiosity.

"Let them see the authority that comes from the ancient gods." Shiyin crossed his arms across his chest and spoke the most solemn words in the most childish tone.

Chaoyang thought about it, then stretched out his hand.

"fire."

As he finished speaking, a ball of fire suddenly emerged from his palm, illuminating the surrounding ground!
Everyone felt an indescribable shock once again!

What ability is this?
What you say must come true!

"It's just... exactly like my magic." Kokomochi exclaimed.

"This is not some backward magic!" Shiyin shouted, "Go ahead, Chaoyang!"

Head of you! Chaoyang sighed and poured the flame in his hand down. The moment it landed, the flame began to spread along the ground and soon burned the area under Elodie's feet. The angel was stunned for a moment, then squatted down and reached out to touch the flames, "This... has no temperature."

"Is this an illusion?" En Kui also curiously touched the flame, then shook his hand away like lightning, "No way! It's obviously scalding to death!"

Seeing these two completely different reactions, everyone was stunned. More people followed suit and tried, and half of them could stand in the fire, while the other half would feel burning pain if they got close.

"How did you do this?" Shadow asked in surprise.

"I can't explain it either." Chaoyang experienced for the first time the feeling of knowing something but being unable to express it. He did not create a real flame, but a "cognitive mapping" that contained a lot of information, including the temperature at which it could be perceived, who it would be effective for, and so on... Just as Shiyin said, the field that Weimi controls is not a word puzzle, but the rules that shape the "puzzle" itself. Any intelligent life will produce puzzles because of differences in communication and perception. It drives life to continuously develop itself and seek truth. People often say that the unknown brings fear, but now Chaoyang understands that fear is just a subset of the puzzle. Emotions, words, cognition, and imagination are all factors that Weimi can control.

Of course...if you don't want to think about it so complicatedly, it's not a problem to understand it as a "high-level illusion" that can actually affect the observer. If a ball of fire is like this, what about adding a handful of water, a pinch of soil, and a bag of air? These elements are intertwined together to form a maze that is both real and illusory. The lives involved in it will burst out with countless questions, and countless stories will be generated in order to solve these secrets.

This process may be the "unsolved mystery".

Of course, even without those complicated applications, the fact that it creates an immersive illusion is very powerful, and it also overlaps with the power of demons. In the past, Chaoyang could only create illusions in dreams, but after holding the power of the gods, he almost moved the dream-entering technique into reality.

The only drawback is that this ability consumes a lot of willpower. For example, the rootless fire in front of him has burned up nearly ten thousand points of willpower.

Chaoyang clenched his fist and the flames went out.

At the same time, everyone noticed some changes in the warehouse - thick white frost appeared on the walls, and small stalagmites grew on the ceiling above. It was as if when Chaoyang absorbed the gift, an invisible barrier disappeared, and fifteen years of stagnant time suddenly flowed back to this underground ruins.

"It may not be safe here. Let's go out first." Chaoyang suggested after picking up the beating heart.

No one had any objection, and everyone returned along the original route and left the place together.
