Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!
Chapter 592: I’m Here to Help You
"Sorry, forgive me for only being able to talk to you like this; mainly it’s because the Base Commander’s power is too strong!"
Wang Ge wasn’t afraid of the Base Commander’s intimidating gaze; rather, he bowed slightly like a gentleman towards the Base Commander.
It’s the etiquette of an English gentleman from the 1990s.
"What is your purpose for coming here?"
The expression on the Base Commander’s face did not ease, still carrying an aura that could freeze a person to death.
The dim light flickered unstably, and Sun Wukong’s mask appeared faintly in the basement.
It’s the Thunder Energy of the Base Commander that was too active, causing the circuit to be unstable, always on the verge of a major outbreak.
The Base Commander had never been so angry before.
He never thought that after his wife’s death, he would still be threatened like this by someone, something he absolutely cannot tolerate.
"Don’t be so agitated; I’m actually here to help you." Wang Ge’s voice remained calm, "Don’t you want to know what the True God Research Institute is really researching?"
"I don’t want to."
The Base Commander rejected stiffly.
"But I just have to tell you."
In the Base Commander’s fiery eyes, Wang Ge’s fingers once again rested on the Ice Coffin.
This is a great disrespect to the person inside.
The lightning on the Base Commander sizzled, yet it never exploded.
The Ice Coffin contained everything he had, and he wouldn’t allow any accidents, no matter what the situation.
Wang Ge’s idle fingers gently touched the Sun Wukong mask, the eyes exposed by the two holes fell into nostalgia.
"This world is inherently steeped in various energies, humans cannot absorb these energies; yet throughout history, supernatural stories have been orally passed down and engraved in books."
"In the thousands-years-old history of China, there are all kinds of ancient legends. Chi You, Yellow Emperor, Hou Yi... these people have some extremely mysterious veils over them, do you think these are all made up?"
Wang Ge looked at the Base Commander.
The Base Commander did not answer Wang Ge’s words, clearly treating him as a madman.
"Each of those great beings had a very peculiar appearance, some of their images weren’t even human-like, different from normal humans, isn’t it similar to the mutant animals or Superpower Users now?"
Wang Ge did not let the Base Commander answer, and kept talking to himself,
"Not only our country has these peculiar mythological stories, all over the world, wherever humans are, there will be mysterious legends, each legend contains gods possessing mysterious powers."
"These ’gods’ are omnipotent, they can command the wind and rain, aren’t they similar to current Superpower Users?"
Wang Ge said, his voice still tranquil, as if revealing the truth of a matter.
"After thousands of years, won’t the descendants on earth think those of us with superpowers are the legendary gods, and also think we do not exist, only mythological stories?"
"What are you really trying to say? What is your purpose for coming here?"
The Base Commander wasn’t interested in listening to Wang Ge continuously talk about ancient myths.
These stories he had heard from elders in his childhood, the mystical mythological stories accompany one generation after another’s growth.
Passed down by word of mouth.
"Don’t rush, listen to me finish." Wang Ge waved his hand, motioned for the Base Commander not to be too irritable, continuing, "In fact, with a different mindset, it’s easy to understand it."
"The reason ancient mythological stories exist everywhere is because they truly happened; the miraculous flowers and exotic beasts, and even gods who commanded the wind and rain, all existed."
"Miraculous flowers and exotic beasts are the mutant animals and mutated plants, they grow over a long time, becoming Fierce Beasts that disturb human life, or Divine Beasts that save mankind."
"And those gods commanding the wind and rain are actually powerful High Rank Superpower Users. Actually, the current power level of the Base Commander is nearly a Little Thunder God."
"This world is a cycle; energy tides descend periodically, earth’s creatures transform under the influence of energy tides into shapes from mythological stories."
"After hundreds, thousands of years, the energy tides vanish, humankind and flora and fauna revert to mediocrity, until the next energy tide arrives, they still won’t believe anyone in this world can summon lightning or spew flames..."
Faint green luminescence spilled from Wang Ge’s fingertips, the light transformed into specks in the air, vanishing.
Despite speaking so much, the Base Commander still didn’t respond, he had no need to respond to someone who seems mentally unstable.
In his opinion, world catastrophes and past mythological stories aren’t greatly related, even if they are, who can prove if energy tides descended in past times?
"Are you wondering who can prove if energy tides descended in past times?"
Wang Ge tilted his head to look at the Base Commander, eyes slightly curving.
The Base Commander snorted coldly, the energy within him still hadn’t dispersed; even if a madman, he wouldn’t spare Wang Ge.
"I can prove it."
"I can prove that people over five thousand years ago were in an era much like the chaotic era now."
"In that era, many people were super strong, some were referred to as powerful figures, their mounts were highly formidable mutant animals as well."
"That era lasted a long time, until the end of the magical era, energy disappeared, mankind lived mediocrity for thousands of years, never seeing such energy again, only thinking legends are legends, unaware they truly occurred."
"I say it so confidently because there is evidence, aside from True God Research Institute’s near two-thousand-year legacy, my existence is the evidence."
"Because, remnants of products from the last energy tide linger in my mind."
"The ’god’ called Zhu Jiuyin, its Crystal Core sealed for thousands of years, our lineage once tried placing it into Cao Aman’s mind. Later many others were attempted, none survived the energy’s influence. That Crystal Core, even after a millennia without energy absorption, didn’t dissipate, it’s one of the few products found from the last energy tide era."
"And I am the only survivor. Its Energy Crystal Core is in my mind. Even though I still haven’t fully mastered it now, I have obtained formidable power, one day, I’ll become the True God of the legend Zhu Jiuyin."
Wang Ge ended, still not particularly excited, it was apparent he didn’t care about becoming the True God.
"What exactly are you trying to say?" The Base Commander still didn’t fully believe Wang Ge’s words.
It was simply too absurd; even if theoretically sound, the Base Commander couldn’t easily believe it, it completely subverted his understanding.
"What I want to say is, since ancient legends are true, have you heard another legend?"
Wang Ge amusedly smiled, "The Emperor’s daughter perished in Chi You’s war, later resurrected, known as Drought."
The Base Commander suddenly raised his head to look at the Ice Coffin, fingers tightened again, eyes revealing a cold light.
"Was that letter sent by you?"
The Little Zombie’s letter said it could resurrect his deceased wife.
Premise is, using the death energy in Zhang Chen’s mind as a catalyst, after resurrection, even if revived as a corpse, she wouldn’t have intense flesh-devouring powers.
