"Isn't it too extravagant for you to pay the price of a hundred years for a verification?" Mo looked at Cao Zhe and asked.
He seemed to be waiting for some changes in Cao Zhe's expression.
But Cao Zhe didn't give too much reaction.
Mo's expression put away that trace of temptation and became deeper in an instant.
It's like a more 'superficial' personality is replaced by another more 'down-to-earth' personality.
Seeing this instant change, Cao Zhe preferred to use the word "wake up" to describe Mo's current state.
Facing Mo's question, Cao Zhe didn't have any regrets in his heart, and said easily: "Being able to see you personally take action and condense hundreds of years into a moment is already a great gain for me!"
Cao Zhe was not insisting on this. .
For him personally, how much competition time is no longer important, what matters is whether he can get something.
And the experience at this moment, he can still choose to reappear as a fixed state.
Thus mastering more advanced usage of time and space.
As for whether the competitors summoned by him can develop steadily in the past hundred years, Cao Zhe is not worried.
The foundation has been laid for them. Even if the more than 3,000 ancient god-level competitors are internally divided, they will never be bullied and destroyed by other mythical civilizations.
The only thing to worry about is the possible alien invasion.
But there is no use worrying.
You can only choose to believe them!
After all, this is not a competition that belongs to Cao Zhe alone.
"You have a good attitude. It's not in vain for me to spend some words to convince them to lower your punishment." Mo said.
Strictly speaking, this is clearly Mo's 'cheating', and Cao Zhe only revealed a certain layer of his identity, which led to some 'tacit' secret operations that were directly exposed, but in the end it was the person who had to bear certain consequences. Cao Zhe, this seems unfair.
This is unfair, but very realistic!
At this time, Cao Zhe was still just a chess piece on the huge chessboard, while 'Mo' was the one playing chess.
"What was the original punishment?" Cao Zhe was really curious and asked.
Mo said: "The most serious thing is to strip you of your identity as a competitor."
"The second is to destroy you from the soul, and destroy you from the body."
Cao Zhe was slightly stunned, but he did not expect that losing his identity as a competitor would be more serious than being destroyed.
This message is critical.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to continue asking, Mo said one step ahead of him: "Change the topic! If you don't really want to lose everything."
The time and space around us are all frozen!
This is a moment, it is also a hundred years, it is infinite.
How long this moment lasts seems to depend entirely on Mo's will and wish.
"So, who exactly are you?"
"Is it the Three-Phase God, the Buddha, or... the Taoist?" Cao Zhe asked a question that has been lingering in his mind.
The ancient gods and immortals in the ghost world made Cao Zhe realize the power of the 'vest'.
An ancient god must have had many identities, and these identities played different roles in different myths.
Therefore, there are many civilizations in the world, but it is very likely that the gods in these civilizations are all the same.
Modao: "I originally thought you wouldn't ask this question."
"After all, it is actually very obvious and very superficial. You have already made a guess, but you just don't dare to believe it all."
"So... I have to ask you, are you Zhang Sanfeng? Are you Emperor Zhenwu? Are you Zhu Rong?"
When Cao Zhe heard this, the information that was still a little messy in his mind was quickly put together.
"So... this is it!" Cao Zhe exhaled a long breath and sighed.
Mo Dao: "Of course it is! Identity is identity, I am me!"
"I can be the Three-Phase God, Buddha, Taoist, Heavenly Lord, Immortal Emperor, or even all the stalwarts and greats, and you... can be too!"
"For us, identity is just a false shell to act cheaply. When you walk in the world of the heavens and come to a brand new place, you have supreme power, but for all the creatures in this world , you are a complete stranger, so if you don’t want to waste time and energy and do something meaningless, what choice will you make?”
Mo has spoken very clearly.
"Of course I have to find an identity that suits me best, and then become him in people's eyes!" Cao Zhe completely understood.
Whether it is the Three-Phase God, the Buddha, or the Taoist Patriarch, they are just a layer of clothing that can be changed at any time for many beings who have transcended a certain limit.
They put on the cloak, not for their own needs, but to cater to people's 'needs'.
It's like, complex chemical changes require 'simple' operational formulas.
It is to facilitate people to better understand and benchmark more easily.
Even if Cao Zhe has reached his current level and realm, it is extremely complicated to fully explain his realm and form of existence to someone or someone in detail.
On the contrary, it is better to directly anchor a certain identity, so that everyone can understand the general idea at a glance.
That's enough.
To be clearer, there is no essential difference between this and contestants choosing their identity before entering a certain competition world.
Of course, the opponent logged in with a GM account, while the competitors logged in with basically zero-level trumpets.
"So, you... how many people are you? Or... one person?" Cao Zhe continued to ask.
Mo said: "Of course we are not the same person. The identity is universal, but the path we have taken is unique. When you truly reach the realm of equality, you will naturally understand it. As for Exactly how many people...I can't say."
"If I tell you, you will really lose your status as a competitor."
"Don't despise this identity because of its superficial 'popularity'."
"You have to remember that it took a lot of effort for us to let this ray of light pass through layers of extremely solid obstacles and fall on you."
Cao Zhe nodded.
He couldn't believe everything 'Mo' said, but he didn't have any more evidence.
Therefore, it seems that Mo's explanation can only be heard as 'truth' for the time being.
It is inevitable that there will be corresponding biases in future action choices.
Cao Zhe still had many questions to ask, but Mo stopped giving him a chance and interrupted Cao Zhe's next questions.
"Okay! The moment has passed, it's time for you to return!"
"This time is just right for you..."
"Keep it in mind and don't think too deeply about what you have experienced. What you see is what you get, and what you get is the reality. There is no need to worry, and there is no need to be timid because of deep thought!" After Mo finished speaking, he directly pointed at Cao Zhe's physical small opening. In the eyes of the world.
In an instant, the Whirling Eye stored in the Tower of Time completely dissipated, and then melted into Cao Zhe's eyeball.
The world in Cao Zhe's eyes did not seem to have changed at all, but had a lively atmosphere.
At the same time, the Time Tower, as an 'add-on' to the small world, rotates more lightly.
Worlds that could only be sensed and not directly related to each other have begun to slowly open up and light up.
There is no need for Cao Zhe to go there in person and make regulations.
