The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 841 Philosophical Questions
"False." Gao Yang said calmly, "That's just false information I made up to lure Qilin's people to the underground ruins in Nigeria."

"Then how can you fuse the runes to upgrade to level 8?" Douhu asked.

"I don't know." Gao Yang said, "It won't be very simple anyway, otherwise Mr. Li's [Prophet] must be at level 8, and Qilin's [Puppet Master] will also be at level 8."

"Xiao Yangyang, stop pretending." Douhu smiled evilly and bumped his arm with his elbow: "You are so smart. You have figured out the five stages of talent. Can this one be far behind?"

Gao Yang's eyes were helpless: "I am just making reasonable speculations based on the information I have."

"I bet you must have a new theory." Douhu refused.

Gao Yang sighed: "Actually, I have been thinking about this for a long time. I will talk about it casually and you can listen to it casually."

"Hurry!" Douhu couldn't wait.

"One of the methods that has been proven so far is to take holy water. Explain: I believe that only the beasts that are pregnant with the gods have pure energy, which is holy water. The holy water of other beasts is not pure, and is more like poison. "

"My father relied on the pure holy water in my mother's body to fuse with the guardian runes to reach level eight, which shows that this method is feasible."

Gao Yang paused: "But there may be a condition hidden in it, I will talk about it later."

"Keep going." Douhu hurriedly lit his cigarette and followed Gao Yang's thoughts.

"We know that both X and Lilia have successfully broken through the eighth level of talent, but these two people have never taken pure holy water. Except for my mother, there is no other beast in the mist world who has pure holy water."

"Isn't this a circle back?" Douhu slapped his thigh: "You mentioned in your previous false information that these two people should have used impure holy water."

"Have you ever seen an awakened person who drank impure holy water?" Gao Yang asked Douhu.

Douhu thought for a moment: "I've seen one, a cockroach from the tail team."

"He has the talent of [Cockroach], but he still inevitably becomes mentally retarded." Gao Yang said: "I have seen other people, Hong Feng, Xiao Liu, and Xiang Die, who all turned into monsters after taking impure holy water. Even if It's Officer Huang..." Gao Yang didn't say any more.

"In short, I don't think this thing can help the awakened ones upgrade to level 8. At the beginning, X and Lilia showed no signs of 'monster transformation' at all."

Douhu fell into silence.

Gao Yang was quiet for a while before speaking again: "So the other upgrade method I speculated is actually based on the seventh level of 'having faith'. I call it 'practicing faith'."

Douhu held a cigarette and frowned, half understanding.

The reason Gao Yang came up with this conjecture was because he was reminded by the system, which is the metaphor of "compass" and "rudder".

"It's easy to just tell the answer." Gao Yang: "But I want to break it down and tell you. You can also help me see if there are any loopholes in the logic."

"Okay." Douhu said simply.

"Upgrading a talent to level 7 means 'having faith'. To put it further, it means having a clear and specific belief, which is a goal. Then upgrading to level 8, I think, is 'practicing the faith', which means practicing and executing this goal."

"How do I feel..." Douhu scratched his face: "You are talking nonsense." "It's a bit convoluted, but this is my line of reasoning and I must go through it." Gao Yang continued: "We have successfully upgraded to level 8. Put the three people together: Lilia, X, and Gao Shou."

"Then what?" Douhu looked confused.

Gao Yang prompted: "Think about it, besides having strong and clear beliefs, what else do these three people have in common?"

Douhu was stunned for two seconds and slapped his thigh: "Ah! I thought of it! The three of them have been carrying the runes with them for many years!"

This time it was Gao Yang's turn to be stunned.

"Ahem, it seems that we have discovered another thing in common."

"What? Isn't this what you discovered after a long time?" Douhu was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

Gao Yang confessed with a smile: "It's really not the case, but the commonality of being together for a long time should have secretly contributed to their success."

"Okay, stop beating around the bush." ​​Douhu's appetite has been whetted.

Gao Yang said: "Lilia, after talent level 8, she learned 'Elemental Angel'. One of her abilities is to be immune to all conventional elements. Everyone. Gao Shou, after talent level 8, he learned the 'Lock of Destiny' to lock his destiny."

The corners of Douhu's eyes tightened, and he seemed to have caught a vague inspiration, but he was not sure yet.

Gao Yang continued: "I heard that in her conversation with Qilin, Lilia revealed why she merged with the beast because she felt unhappy being a human.

"Why are you unhappy? You have met Sarah, and if you think about her childhood experience, you will know that she has been unfortunate all the way, so she chose to give up her human identity.

"Angels, in most understandings, are carefree, holy and pure, while 'elemental angels' are immune to all conventional elemental damage."

"If we regard 'angels' as carefree existences and understand all conventional elements as the filth and filth in this world, Lilia becomes an 'elemental angel'. Meaning, she wants to become holy, pure, and innocent. A life that is carefree and uncontaminated by the filth of the world should also be her belief. Upgrading to level 8 and acquiring the 'Elemental Angel' is a clear path to realize her belief."

Douhu tried hard to digest these speculations.

"You may think I'm over-interpreting it, but I can't help it. I don't know Lilia either." Gao Yang said, "But let's take a look at X and Gao Shou."

"X's belief is to kill everyone and make himself a god. This is also Zuo Ye's answer to the paper. Think about it, doesn't the ability of 'Hell's Poison' fit perfectly with X's path to realize his belief?"

"My father, Gao Shou, believes in protecting his family. Curse Abyss was born to kill the God's Heir. This is its fate. In order to protect me, my father must forcibly change Curse Abyss's fate and the ability of the 'Lock of Destiny'. Is it the best path to realize his beliefs? Does it seem like it was tailor-made for him?

"My mother's pure holy water may just help him jump from level 4 to level 7 quickly. The reason why he can successfully upgrade to level 8 is because of my father's belief and method of realizing his belief, as well as the 'destiny' learned at level 8 [Absolute Defense] The locks' fit perfectly."

After Gao Yang finished speaking, he looked at Douhu: "Have I made it clear?"

"Xiao Yangyang! You are such a fucking genius!" Douhu felt enlightened and felt like his constipation was instantly relieved.

Soon, Douhu frowned again: "Wait a minute, there seems to be a philosophical issue involved here!"
