Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Mu Lan descended upon the Shu Kingdom.

She seemed to know He Li's location.

The latter could also sense the other's arrival, so he waited for He Li, who had been calmly cultivating near the capital of Shu, to finish his training and come out...

Mu Lan landed right in front of him.

When He Li saw Mu Lan again, he could clearly sense that Mu Lan was different from before.

At this moment, Mu Lan exuded a strange aura that made any creature that approached her feel as if it were in the midst of a storm, or as if its spiritual energy was out of control.

If an ordinary person gets close to her...

If nothing unexpected happens, their spiritual energy and even other powers will become uncontrollable, rendering them unable to exert their combat power.

Even immortals and gods could not escape her influence.

If she continues to refine this power, she might actually be able to grasp the conceptual power related to wind, but this requires not only time but also opportunity.

And Mu Lan's current power...

The effect on He Li is weak.

After all, He Li is now a supreme god, and Mu Lan's strange aura cannot shake him.

However, what is worth noting is...

He Li discovered that the power of the wind-like authority on Mu Lan's body seemed to affect his own fire; he could vaguely sense the interplay between the power of the wind and the flames.

Perhaps, in the future, we can try to use Mu Lan's power to fan the flames.

He Li pondered this in his mind.

He was also about to ask Mu Lan what she had been through during this time.

And there's also the mysterious air about the void...

And the matter of those void life forms.

But to his surprise, before he could even speak, Mu Lan took the initiative to mention the void life form she encountered during her inheritance trial.

"I once entered the mysterious winds of the void at the behest of the wind god Feilian and Zhulong."

"I saw void life forms there."

"But they're mostly dead."

"What remains in the wind are all corpses."

"However..." She paused, gazing at He Li with her beautiful eyes that emitted a faint blue light, "However, there is also a special existence with a similar consciousness within the mysterious wind."

He called himself, "Rationality!"

"Li?" He Li was taken aback upon hearing this.

Mu Lan nodded: "Yes, and according to him, he came to the vicinity of this world..."

"That was not an accident or a coincidence. It seems to have been guided here by some higher and more special power that transcends the laws of this world."

"That consciousness carries a mission."

"He came here to use me to convey some things that he himself can't even remember."

Hearing this, He Li was filled with curiosity.

"What did you say?" he couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Mu Lan carefully recalled the words she had heard from the consciousness that called itself "Li" within the lingering wind formation formed by the mysterious wind in the void...

"He told me that there are similar individuals in the world and similar situations in the void."

"But that's not the most important thing."

"Most importantly, he told me a coordinate in a strange language that I couldn't understand."

"He definitely wants us to go to those coordinates."

"It's just that the coordinates are too far away."

"According to him, even if I continued to move forward at my maximum speed without stopping, it would take me about four million years to barely reach the location marked on the coordinates..."

Mu Lan spoke as she recalled.

Because of the coordinates left by Li, she couldn't understand them at all and could only force herself to memorize their pronunciation.

So, regarding that coordinate system...

Mu Lan couldn't say it outright. She could only try to pronounce the mysterious and unknown coordinates by imitating Li's voice after carefully recalling the situation.

He Li listened attentively from the opposite side.

The coordinates that Mu Lan pronounced sounded like random, unpleasant sounds.

At first, He Li didn't understand anything.

He only perceived it as noise.

However, after Mu Lan finished imitating the haircut sound, when He Li tried to recall the complete pronunciation in his mind, he was surprised to find that as he recalled the pronunciation completely...

A vague understanding of this unknown pronunciation began to form in his mind.

That feeling...

To describe it, it's like having a feeling that you've never seen something before but subconsciously know what it is, though He Li's feeling isn't very strong.

That feeling was hazy and indistinct.

It seems that it requires multiple confirmations or the use of some kind of tool to fully understand.

Mu Lan, who was observing He Li's expression, clearly realized after seeing He Li's expression gradually change from confusion and doubt to surprise and suspicion...

He Li did make a discovery.

"What did you discover? Can you understand it?"

She asked, her eyes filled with suspicion.

He Li snapped out of his daze and shook his head: "No, that pronunciation is too strange for me to understand."

"But... when I carefully recall the complete pronunciation, I do have a sense of familiarity, as if I recognize and can understand the pronunciation, but I just haven't grasped its meaning yet."

"This...is a bit strange!"

He Li did not lie.

Although he was a time traveler, he was just an ordinary person before he traveled through time.

If there's anything particularly unusual about it, it might be that it shares the same origin as the Heavenly Dao of this world. The Heavenly Dao of this world might actually be the ancient deity of his original world...

It's just for certain reasons.

This deity, like the Candle Dragon of this world, left the world and went to the void.

He ultimately died in the void, and realized that his body had transformed into the Dao, becoming this world deep within the void...

Then, He Li was drawn to this place.

But Heaven drew him here...

That was an accident. The original purpose of Heaven was to find a stronger being to assist him, but the world where He Li originally lived had long been depleted of spiritual energy and had no extraordinary beings.

Ultimately, that pulling force randomly fell upon him, creating the person he is today.

Now, recalling these events carefully...

He Li had no idea what was so special about himself that allowed him to understand the language of the mysterious void consciousness, and he had no connection with it whatsoever.

He couldn't understand what was going on.

It wasn't until Mu Lan saw him deep in thought, seemingly unable to comprehend the current situation...

Suddenly, he spoke up: "Actually..."

"I've had my suspicions; that void life form claiming to be reason might very well be you!"

"Huh?" He Li looked up abruptly upon hearing this.

"Me? Why would I think that?"

He frowned, and Mu Lan shook her head: "It's just a guess based on what he said."

"After all, that consciousness said that there are similar or identical individuals in the world and the void. They may not know each other at all, but there is no guarantee that they are connected."

"And such things do indeed happen..."

"For example, in later news reports, you'll occasionally hear about it happening in different places all over the country..."

"Two people who look exactly alike have been found."

"Now let's amplify this to the point of being abstract..."

Before she finished speaking, He Li understood.

Mu Lan meant that in the boundless void, there was an individual who looked exactly like him and had the same name, yet was completely unrelated to him, and that this individual was aware of his existence.

He even sent a wisp of his consciousness across an infinite distance to arrive here and wait for him to appear...

Honestly, this is outrageous.

Even the Heavenly Dao, which holds all authority and power, cannot accomplish such a thing.

If Heaven could do that...

Then, when he left his original world, he wouldn't have needed to wander aimlessly in the void until his death; he could have precisely targeted other worlds...

Then they ran off and lived happily ever after.

Just like Zhulong and others in later generations, they found other worlds to escape this battle between heaven and man.

The Heavenly Dao cannot do it, but... the true form of that mysterious consciousness in the void can. Not only can it do it, it can also precisely control a consciousness to come here.

He even anticipated that he would travel through time and arrive in this era, so he waited in advance...

What kind of incredible ability is this?

The power of the Great Dao is probably no greater than this...

Wait... something's not right!!!

As if he had just thought of something, He Li, who was originally amazed by the power of the mysterious void consciousness, suddenly changed his expression and stared blankly into thought, as if he had just realized something.

Seeing this, Mu Lan assumed that He Li had realized something, so she didn't dare to interrupt him.

Until much later...

Seeing that He Li was gradually calming down, Mu Lan finally couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Is something on your mind?"

"Or did you realize something?"

He nodded slightly upon hearing her question.

"That void consciousness...you said before that it told you its name was Reason?"

He Li asked in return, and Mu Lan nodded.

Upon seeing this, He Li said in a deep voice, "Then perhaps... it is actually a principle of some kind of Great Dao rule!"

"Or rather... the truth!!!"
