Chapter 190 The people of Douluo Continent are too stupid, they need a narrator.
However, above the sky, Black Tower calmly mentioned that Lai Gu Shi was very likely connected with members of the Genius Club.
These words, instead of calming the public, only fueled the excitement and restlessness of the millions of people on the Douluo Continent.
What they crave most is always the clash of titans and the battle of wits between cosmic geniuses.
Such a scene would not only allow major powers on the mainland to glimpse more precious secrets from beyond the heavens.
Furthermore, through verbal exchanges and undercurrents of competition between the two sides, one can comprehend one's own unique cultivation knowledge and the rules of the Great Dao.
Imagine a peerless genius standing at the top of the galaxy, revealing his wisdom and strength to you without reservation.
Everyone felt that even a monkey could benefit greatly from this and be transformed.
As for the fact that Little Grey Hair would be facing a genius-level opponent, no one was worried at all.
After all, Little Gray Hair's strength was too heaven-defying, like a bug outside the rules that was unsolvable.
Not only is she incredibly powerful in combat, but she also possesses a terrifying star core within her body, capable of unleashing world-destroying power in times of crisis.
Not to mention that she has connections throughout the galaxy, and can summon powerful figures from all walks of life to help her whenever she is in danger.
In the scene above the screen, Little Gray Fur instantly stopped smiling and lowered his head in serious thought.
She looked up at the illusory black tower in mid-air, and cautiously speculated on the true identity of Lai Gu Shi:
"What if it's a unit of thought belonging to the learned scholar..."
Without the slightest hesitation, Black Tower shook his head and rejected the guess.
"First of all, we can rule out the machine head itself. It mainly adopts a hands-off approach and would never get involved personally."
"But who exactly is this guy? Screw and I are still eliminating possibilities one by one..."
"The most likely candidates right now are these: 'The Silent Lord,' Achatian... oh, the two Ruperts could also be considered, but it would be too boring if it were either of them."
Upon hearing this, Little Gray crossed his arms over his chest, a look of unwavering certainty on his face.
"I vote for 'Silent Lord'."
Black Tower nodded slightly, but remained cautious, not entirely certain.
"We also have that suspicion for now, but we need to verify it further."
"That's all I wanted to say. The rest is up to you to continue pushing things forward within the world."
"Keep in touch regularly, and remember not to let your guard down."
As soon as he finished speaking, the illusory figure of the Black Tower flashed with light and vanished without a trace.
Xi Lian stretched out her little hand and gently rubbed her soft little face, looking at the little gray-haired boy and sighing softly.
"Lord Black Tower... you're certainly a man of great energy."
"Then let's use the banquet that Aglaia mentioned as our starting point."
"Krydella's confidants will likely be present, which will be a good opportunity to get closer to them."
Little Gray nodded solemnly in confirmation.
"We will proceed with caution at that time."
Xi Lian nodded emphatically, her eyes crinkling into crescents, her tone firm yet gentle:
"Okay, it's settled then! With our understanding, we can handle anything that happens smoothly."
After Xi Lian finished speaking, she put her hands behind her back, let out a long breath, and completely relaxed:
"Today has been really long... It's almost time to rest."
Little Gray shook his head gently, feeling that he was still full of energy and not sleepy at all.
"I don't want to rest right now..."
Xi Lian narrowed her eyes, revealing a sweet and healing smile:
"Okay, remember to come back when you're tired, I'll be waiting for you here♪"
Then, the little gray-haired boy wandered around the spacious room, looking around.
She wanted to take a closer look at the house and see if there were any subtle differences compared to when she lived there before.
I also want to see if Heather, who lives here, left any special little items behind.
Soon, the little gray-haired boy skipped and hopped to the small bathtub next to him.
The air still carried the faint, pleasant fragrance of Hazel's fresh bath.
It's a pity she doesn't have knees, otherwise she would have bent down and drunk her fill of the container.
Soon, however, Little Gray's gaze fell directly on the spiritual water basin above the bath.
She seemed to have suddenly thought of something crucial, and was about to step forward.
Xi Lian quickly walked over, winked playfully at her, and softly reminded her:
"Oh right, the spirit water basin."
"Although Krydella said the cosmic vortex has been sealed, perhaps...?"
Little Gray Fur's thoughts were exactly the same as Xi Lian's, so he immediately nodded.
"Give it a try."
Then, following the steps he had repeated countless times in his memory, Little Gray slowly immersed his face in the basin of spiritual water.
She gently closed her eyes, held her breath tightly, and tried to connect with the core of the cosmic vortex.
Hold your breath... Hold your breath... Cough cough cough...
Humans have a physiological limit to holding their breath, and Little Gray instantly understood the outcome from this brief attempt.
Xi Lian, as if she had expected this, gently shook her head, her tone tinged with helplessness:
"...As expected, the connection between the spirit water basin and the vortex has failed."
"Following Caesar on his expedition... it seems this is the only path we have left."
Perhaps because he had held his breath underwater for too long, Little Gray was feeling a little dizzy, and a strong sense of drowsiness washed over him.
She stretched lazily, rubbed her eyes, and said:
"Get some rest and prepare for the banquet."
Xi Lian looked at the little gray-haired boy with tenderness, a faint smile playing on her lips, and nodded gently.
"Yes! Let's prepare well for the banquet♪"
Just then, the once bright sky suddenly turned pitch black.
This led everyone to subconsciously believe that it was just a normal scene change in the plot.
After all, playing the whole scene of Little Gray Hair and the others resting would be too drawn out and a waste of time.
Everyone was certain that when the sky lit up again, it would be the scene of the two heading to the banquet.
However, what appeared on the sky next left everyone speechless and incredulous.
Several lines of dazzling golden characters slowly appeared in the center of the dark sky, extremely eye-catching.
[It has been detected that many native inhabitants of the Douluo Continent are unable to understand the plot unfolding above the sky.]
[This also adds some fun to the storyline on the screen. Now, let's select two members to analyze the plot displayed on the screen.]
The selected commentators will receive a reward if their commentary satisfies the audience and fits the storyline; otherwise, they will be penalized!
This sudden announcement instantly caused a sensation throughout the entire Douluo Continent.
Below the hotel where Little Gray Hair and his companions had previously stayed, a large crowd stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement.
Previously, three members of the teaching committee of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy had attempted to explain the plot to everyone.
However, even these three education commissioners were completely baffled by many key and hidden aspects and were unable to explain them clearly.
For example, most people failed to understand the deeper meaning of the conversation between Krydella and Lygus.
Did Keldera truly believe in Lygus?
Is Crydella's talk of conquering the stars genuine, or just a convenient but superficial gesture?
With her exceptional intelligence and meticulous mind, how could Krydella not have noticed that Ragus was using her ambition to gain her trust?
After all, Little Grey and Xilian spoke from the bottom of their hearts to Krydela.
Xi Lian said many things that Keludela wanted to hear, but she still did not choose to believe the two of them.
How could someone as cautious and suspicious as her easily trust Lai Gushi?
Everyone firmly believes that the subsequent plot of Sky Curtain will only become more exciting, with even more undercurrents.
With their limited understanding of Douluo Continent, they would not be able to comprehend the undercurrents and deep schemes involved.
That's such a pity, a complete waste of the opportunity to glimpse the secrets of heaven.
They desperately hoped that a wise person who could truly understand the plot of the celestial realm would appear at this moment.
They meticulously unravel the mystery, dismantling each layer to reveal the brilliance and truth hidden beneath the plot.
