"You also like killing people in your dreams, right?"
Dotore's eyes lit up: "Is it possible that you have seen someone who also likes this kind of fighting method?"
"Oh, that one likes to kill people while dreaming, and he prefers married women."
Dotore:?
"Nothing, please ignore what I just said."
Gu Sanqiu asked: "You pulled me out just to talk about this? I feel like there's nothing special."
Damn it, I thought I could actually go somewhere that only adults would go to experience today.
All purchases today will be paid for by Dotore!
"Well, that's all I have to say for now. After all, your elders have told me that I have some self-awareness."
Dotore put on his mask again: "I can't tell you any more things. Some are dangerous, and others have not been confirmed."
"Then come and fight with me."
Gu Sanqiu moved his fingers: "I haven't had an opponent who can fight with me recently. My hands are a little itchy."
"I have no interest in such a waste of time."
Dotore said: "Your current strength should have reached a level above that of an immortal. If you work harder, you should be able to catch up with me."
"Is it really possible to catch up with your realm if you work hard?"
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "I'm very curious about how you did it. Is it possible that it's some way of combining incarnations to prove the Tao?"
"No, let me remind you one thing. In our world, it is difficult for quantitative changes to lead to qualitative changes. The method you mentioned does not work."
Dotore put his chin in his hand: "Well, it seems that you really don't know. Didn't your ancestors leave you a way to become a god?"
"Even if there is, if I guess correctly, it is absolutely impossible for me to know those things before the strength and certain conditions are met."
"Oh, it can be considered a kind of protection."
Dotore said: "You are curious about this issue, but you are not too ambitious. As far as you and I are concerned, we all have the reasons to become stronger. What we lack is just the method."
"By the way, that guy in your family is really amazing."
Gu Sanqiu was stunned: "Dad?"
This sentence seems a bit redundant. Do you still need to tell me how powerful Morax became?
"No, that ancestor of your family, the oldest one."
Dotore gestured to the life star model in his hand.
"There is a strange place in the starry sky, like a small area of a perfect picture that was a poor ghostwriter."
"In that place, I saw the image of the past and saw your face."
Dotore said: "I just told you that we fools are studying the stars. It doesn't matter if I tell you this."
"It is a dream space that is about to dissipate. The cause is an extremely powerful personal will."
"Using the local saying in Liyue, you can also understand that the image is the last afterimage left in the eyes after death."
Gu Sanqiu's heart skipped a beat. How could Dotore even find such a thing?
So the question is, has he seen the other one?
By the way, are the Fools so powerful? Even if they are studying the starry sky, or the false sky, the progress has actually reached this point?
Are you going to heaven?
Oh, to be precise, we still don’t know whether their research method is to go to the sky or to observe from the ground.
"We paid a lot of money to invite a witch to solve our puzzles."
Dotore said something shocking: "Gu Shen is very strong, but if you give me enough time, he may not be stronger than me."
Gu Sanqiu did not rush to refute, but asked instead.
"I need a reason."
Dotore stood up from the bench: "It's very simple. The founder may not be the strongest. This is the same as scientific research."
"Just like the weapons and equipment we provided to the advance team, can it be that the performance of the equipment that has undergone technological innovation cannot even match the first generation? It doesn't make sense."
"The penetrating power of the first-generation fire gun might have made it difficult to penetrate the shield of a rock-shield monster, but now it can be done with one shot."
Dotore said softly: "Understand, in terms of strength alone, your family is only the first generation."
"But in terms of talent, he is indeed impressive today."
The doctor seems to be sure that Gu Shen broke some restrictions back then, so he said that there will be opportunities for "promotion" later.
In short, the doctor seems to regard Gu Shen as the person who changed the recommendation system to the imperial examination.
Gu Sanqiu understood what Dotore meant, and then thought of the scene he had seen.
Gu Shen rushed to the sky to fight, and finally saw the keeper of heavenly principles. At the cost of erasing his memory and selling himself, he was finally able to extend his life for a thousand years.
Is that disappeared memory related to what Dotore said?
Damn it, no wonder Wendy warned the doctor not to say strange things. This involvement is indeed a bit big.
"It seems you are not ignorant."
Dotore: "I have done a lot of research on this matter, but judging from the current situation, your family occupies a major position in it."
Gu Sanqiu wiped his face: "If you have any more guesses, please tell me at once."
"Well, the guess is that the Demon God War period may be a process of reshaping the rules. As long as the competition is over, the rules will become stable again."
Dotore said: "But this guess is in certain contrast with the overall environment, so we can only keep the main part as a reference."
"Can people really become strong? Is there really someone on the Supreme Throne who wants us to become strong?"
Gu Sanqiu felt a chill in his heart, and he remembered an unclear sentence.
[The road transporting temptation has been blocked]
Dotore's words have developed in a direction where there are no taboos.
"There are different opinions among the executive officers, but I am more inclined to think that your ancestors disabled a certain rule."
Dotore shook his head: "Liyue's culture is very strange. Some teach you to obey your fate, but others teach you that man can conquer nature."
"The so-called God rewards hard work, which means that as long as you work hard, you will always get better."
"What if you really understand it as working hard and someone will pay you a salary?"
"But what if God cannot pay your salary?"
Dotore looked at Gu Sanqiu: "So I have come to an initial conclusion. Although Gu Shen's strength and wishes are very powerful, they should not be able to shake the world."
"The only possibility is that he represents that era, or the suffering people of that era, and embodies a strong human heart and will."
"That's why he fought angrily against the endless celestial phenomena, trying to open a way out."
Times create heroes, but not every era can have heroes.
Creatures like heroes are like a lottery. If you can draw it, you can have a hundred schools of thought contend and a thousand dragons in the same dynasty in an era.
There is a law called the power of wish in the human world of Teyvat. This kind of thing is not a fiction, but it is real.
Mond is a prime example.
The people who knelt down finally launched a rebellion against Dickapion, and the people who were ruled by the tyrant of men longed for freedom.
No one can tell whether it is the power of will that has achieved a qualitative change and then reflected in the world, or whether the actions of human beings are the powerful medicine that breaks the balance.
If no hero can be drawn from the "lottery" in a certain era, we may experience great destruction and disaster, but the city wall built by united will and bloody courage is also more valuable.
