Chapter 1140
Shan Da skillfully gripped the steering wheel with one hand while glancing at Bai Yuegui sitting in the passenger seat, "Boss Bai, what do you think Laigushi's background is?"
"It's unclear, but it definitely isn't a native of Weng Faluos." Bai Yuegui crossed his arms, gazing calmly at the muddy mountain road ahead, "... If such a 'person' is also a creation of KefaLe, then it only shows that this World-weary Titan's expertise in technology is far ahead. But such a wise sentient machine... I've only ever seen Luosi Gum."
"Exactly! I think so too!" Upon hearing that, Xia Dou also leaned in, "That Laigushi might be related to the Luosi Gum! Look, they're both sentient machines, and they're both very polite—could it be… that Laigushi was originally a sentient machine made by the Screw Star? But due to some chance, it accidentally fell onto Weng Faluos?"
"Indeed, that's possible. I'd guess Laigushi also has some kind of sensing device or scanner inside; after a quick scan of Na Kesha, we found his body is actually on the verge of death." Saying that, Xu Tong shifted tone, "But what's strange to me is, don't the people of Weng Faluos find Laigushi curious? This guy has a hole in his chest bigger than his head—looking at him, he doesn't seem like a normal person."
"Laigushi is indeed abnormal, but you also need to shift your thinking—how many people in Weng Faluos are actually normal?" Xia Dou stretched out his hand, counting on his fingers, "Here we have all kinds of strange and wondrous Titans, there are prayers that revive the past. Even among humans, there's the death-touch butterfly that kills anyone it touches, and the Wandi that can't be killed no matter how you try… not to mention the Mountain Folk, a special race naturally towering in stature."
"Among this bunch of strange and wondrous people, Laigushi might actually be considered normal. It's just that you've seen space, seen other brilliant civilizations and technology in the universe, so you find it jarring and strange."

"Before the words even fell, Na Kesha suddenly felt a wave of dizziness in his head, and his body instinctively staggered backward a few steps."
""It seems the earlier discernment was just exhausting the brain… If Weng Faluos has an afterlife, remember to strengthen your body and avoid social obligations." Se Xisi proposed from the side."
"Na Kesha slowly straightened up, gave a cold snort: ""... No need for you to worry.""
""The Titan is just a step away—can you still hold on?""
""Hmph… Even if I can't hold on, can you still lift me up?" Na Kesha turned his head and kept stepping forward, "I have my own confidence—just keep quiet and follow.""
""Alright, alright. Then I won't waste more words—just wait for your soul to completely dissipate, then I'll take over your body.""
"Before the words even fell, Na Kesha saw a half-transparent phantom appear on the platform ahead, which was exactly like the titan constantly chattering beside him."
"(Who is that… Se Xisi?)"
""Hey, look at that…" Na Kesha raised his hand and pointed forward."
""Huh? What do you want me to look at?" In Se Xisi's view, the platform ahead was completely empty."
"Na Kesha shook his head, and this time Se Xisi's phantom vanished before his eyes."
"(Hallucination…)"
"(Or perhaps, when one is near death, even the soul can see…)"
"Na Kesha continued forward, and soon on the next platform he saw Se Xisi again—only this time a new phantom appeared, chatting with Se Xisi."
""Se Xisi" asked: "Huh? Lord Ge Naiwusi, why don't you see your beloved gun accompanying you on this journey?""
"Na Kesha lowered his head in thought: (Ge Naiwusi? A familiar name…)"
""Unfortunately… my 'Kalisi' has recently been completely corroded by Heichi.""
""How could this be…" "Se Xisi" showed a look of surprise, "Even the creations of Jiolia's gem mines and molten fire… can't escape the fate of destruction, can they?""
"Na Kesha's expression instantly turned a bit strange; he turned his head and earnestly asked: "Hey, Se Xisi… I'm asking you, do you know a person named Ge Naiwusi?""
"Se Xisi's face flashed with a hint of confusion, he quickly shook his head: "Ge Naiwusi? I've never heard of that. Why did I suddenly think of such a strange name?""
""I just saw: Ge Naiwusi, seemingly a warrior, conversing with you right here…""
"Se Xisi slowly shook his head: "Ah… I don't recall having such a memory; perhaps it's just an illusion.""
——
Blessings for a beautiful world.
"Ge Naiwusi? That isn't it a fragment of the rationality of the conflicting Titan from before?"
"This time even Akua began to reassess Se Xisi, this rational Titan; as a deity of Weng Faluos, his memory is surely too poor—indeed, even the fact that he once spoke with Nicadoli could be forgotten."
""This must be Se Xisi forgetting it himself?" He Zhen waved his hand, "But we can't blame him; according to the timeline, this conversation must have taken place when Nicadoli first descended upon Weng Faluos, roughly… two thousand four or five hundred years ago? Perhaps the time is just too long ago."
"No." Huihui struck the ground with her staff, making a "dong dong" sound, "He Zhen, you forgot? When the Three Calamity Titans descended, they brought countless deaths to the earth and also brought Heichi. But look at Se Xisi and Ge Naiwusi chatting… their relationship as Titans is quite good!"
"Akua tilted her head: "Could it be… that the history of Weng Faluos told by the spring water spirits back then was wrong?""
"Hmm… probably not, but Nicadoli has indeed been constantly fighting Heichi—no doubt about that. However, why does Na Kesha see Nicadoli as a rationality fragment rather than its original form?"
"As the speculation deepened, He Zhen felt that Weng Faluos's history seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist."
"Some images that are hard to match with the original historical records appeared."
"He Zhen's confusion deepened: "When exactly did this happen? Why can Na Kesha see past events on the Dawn Cloud Cliff? It doesn't even look like a hallucination…""
——
"(This is… a ghost…)"
"Na Kesha stepped onto the next platform, and soon saw them again."
""Let's not talk about me. Did Kaesi respond to you before?" Ge Naiwusi asked."
""Se Xisi" shook his head regretfully: "Ah, what a pity…""
"... The price of becoming a Demigod is far heavier than we imagined."
"The new name mentioned in their conversation made Na Kesha recall quickly: "Kaesi? A Demigod?""
"(I've never heard of this person… which Titan's authority did he inherit?)"
""Se Xisi" comforted: "Stay optimistic, Ge Naiwusi. Since we've come to his door, he surely won't let an old friend lose face, right?""
