Chapter 1662

"To put it simply, you are my kin... or rather, you are the kin of my life before death."

After waiting for a moment without seeing Leon reply, the light-shadow form of the "Long Staircase to Godhood" could not help but frown, then immediately opened its mouth to explain:

"I am not the staircase you think I am; I am merely using the voice it recorded. As for that layer of purplish-black origin slate outside, it is used to screen you and others, because aside from us who are born able to face the source directly, any other living being has a fixed upper limit to their comprehension of authority.

For example, the Pillar Gods in your understanding; the limit for a Pillar God is a single authority at the fiftieth level of the Long Staircase to Godhood. Once a single authority exceeds the fiftieth level, the corresponding authority will be transformed into Truth, and it will be impossible to push a second authority to the fiftieth level, and the upper limit is at most ninety-nine levels.

But we are different; we are born able to face the source directly and will not be subject to this restriction... Although you took a shortcut and mixed in fifty-nine levels from that human and the Pillar God's heart, you yourself are still able to walk over a hundred levels on the Long Staircase to Godhood, so you must be my kin, no doubt about it!"

"..."

I think I understand a little now...

After hearing the vague light-shadow's confident judgment, Leon could not help but tentatively open his mouth to speak:

"So... the thickness of that layer of slate above is roughly equivalent to a 'one-hundred-level' Long Staircase to Godhood, and only those who exceed one hundred levels can come down?"

"Correct, but it's not that only those who exceed one hundred levels can come down, but rather that only we are capable of exceeding one hundred levels."

After correcting Leon's statement, the "Long Staircase to Godhood" hesitated slightly, then answered somewhat reluctantly:

"At the very least, most of the time it should be like this."

Most of the time?

Hearing this, Leon could not help but be slightly startled, then asked:

"Does that mean there are exceptions?"

"You could say that..."

After clearly revealing a somewhat strained expression, the "Long Staircase to Godhood" spoke with a helpless look:

"About five or six thousand years ago, a human killed more than one Pillar God, and then, while withstanding the siege of a group of True Gods, used a method similar to yours to break through the screening layer of the origin slate and broke in here, startling me awake once.

At the time, I almost mistook him for you, but fortunately, he was several thousand years earlier than expected. After I felt something was wrong and checked, I discovered he had taken a shortcut, so I kicked him out of here."

"..."

Several thousand years ago... killed more than one Pillar God... and was able to withstand the siege of a group of True Gods to break into the Source God Platform...

Isn't that just the third-generation old man?

After the lecherous figure of the square-headed old man emerged in his mind, the corners of Leon's mouth could not help but twitch fiercely twice.

No wonder he was ridiculously strong; it turns out he had also "peered" into the Source Room... No! It should be because he was ridiculously strong that he was able to break in and see the Source Room, and the secret he wanted to hide so mysteriously likely also has to do with this so-called Source Room.

"In any case, although there was one mix-up, there is definitely no problem with you!"

After slightly boosting its spirits, the figure using the tone of the "Long Staircase to Godhood" looked at Leon, saying with certainty:

"Even excluding that Pillar God heart and that not-very-smart human, you alone can walk two hundred levels on the Long Staircase to Godhood. So, although there was a slight glitch in time, judging from your talent and what you have done, you are definitely Number 3, no doubt about it!"

A slight glitch in time... from me and what I have done...

Hearing this, Leon could not help but take a deep breath, and asked with a flash of inspiration:

"Can you say what specifically is meant by what I have done..."

"Of course, it is ruling the entire Number 3 plane!"

Seeming to be able to see through Leon's past and future, after looking at Leon with admiration, the vague figure smiled and said:

"Although we have mixed in the bloodlines of other races, we who are born able to face the source directly and see through the essence at a glance are born to be above all living beings, and naturally, we will instinctively want to rule everything."

"?!!!"

In Leon's suddenly constricted pupils, the vague figure commented with slight surprise:

"Number 3, I just looked at your past. Actually, I originally thought you would first try to rule a human kingdom, then rule all of humanity, and then extend your tentacles into the Cleanup Bureau and other races, and finally unify the entire present world. But you actually did the opposite and controlled the Cleanup Bureau first.

Hmm... thinking about it carefully, doing it this way is actually faster. Whether it's ruling the present world from the bottom up or directly grasping that human organization called the Cleanup Bureau and ruling the present world from the top down, the final result is the same... Number 3? Why aren't you speaking?"

"..."

Because I am shocked by my younger brother's identity...

Recalling William, who had set "great ambitions" since childhood and had been working hard to unify the whole world, Leon could not help but close his eyes, then silently switched on 【Performance Master】 to suppress his constantly twitching facial muscles.

Thinking about unifying the world since elementary school, always being able to see the essence of things at a glance, plus that so-called ten-plus-year error... there definitely won't be a second such freak child. Now I am ninety percent sure that the Number 3 you are waiting for is not me, but William!

So you definitely waited for the wrong person again this time. It's not that there was an error in time that caused "Number 3" to arrive ten years early, but that the Number 3 you are waiting for who will rule humanity is currently squatting in my house struggling with summer homework, and if he can't finish it, he might even get beaten...

This is really... Anna's photo brought over three people in total, and one is a transmigrator with a cheat, and one is the suspected unknown-race William, the big younger brother; none of them are good news... Speaking of which, doesn't Melanie also have some strange background?

Deciding that he must check the two little brats carefully when he goes back, Leon touched his "heart" that had fainted at some unknown time, then put on his best acting, and asked with a confused look:

"But if I am your kin, then why don't I have my own memories?"

"You have been dead for who knows how long, just like me; you shouldn't have had any memories anyway... Forget it, there's no time to talk."

After forcing himself to chat with Leon for a few sentences, the vague light-shadow began to flicker, its voice full of annoyance:

"I originally should have had time to explain it to you properly, but that square-headed human who broke in by mistake back then not only startled me awake from my slumber but also used up all my remaining time.

Sigh... Number 3, with the little time I have left, there is no time to explain the cause and effect to you. Go find someone else to ask about the specific details!"

"Find whom? Go where?"

"Go to that Old Earth you know, find..."

"Find whom?"

"..."

"?"

"Zzz~"

"???"

Looking at the vague light-shadow that looked like snow on an old television, which after buzzing twice went black on the spot and disappeared completely, Leon could not help but feel a bit numb.

No... you had the time to talk about so much nonsense, but you didn't finish the most critical part about who to find?
