Chapter 570: Claiming to Be God
Obviously, the [Hai Liao] mentioned by this strange man is not the same thing as the thing mentioned by Yongzhu.
According to what Ying Zhuo said, Hai Liao is a creation of the gods, a huge murder weapon that can instantly take away the life of a planet.
But this strange man said that Hai Liao was a disaster that once swept the entire universe, and was something that the gods teamed up to seal in order to maintain the normal operation of the universe.
In fact, this existence called [Hai Liao] is currently dormant in Li Yang's body, waiting to wake up.
Obviously, someone between the two is lying.
Li Yang frowned and looked around cautiously.
Although the scene in front of him seemed peaceful, his intuition told him that things were not that simple.
These remarks were a bit beyond imagination, and Li Yang could not help but feel suspicious.
"So what you're saying is that I have a power that could destroy the universe?"
Li Yang asked in a deep voice, and blocked Yongzhu's mouth when he was about to interrupt.
The strange man opposite nodded:
"Indeed. But it's just one of the possibilities."
"Hai Liao contains infinite potential, and its direction depends on the person who controls it."
"And you, do you want to control this power?" Li Yang narrowed his eyes and stared at each other.
The man shook his head slowly:
"Our duty is to ensure that this force does not go astray and avoid endangering the safety of the universe again."
"That power is extremely powerful. Even if you are Hai Liao's host, you cannot control it at will."
"I am here to hope that you can voluntarily hand over Hai Liao, seal it up, and let it sleep forever."
Finally, Yaozhu couldn't bear it any longer and asked:
"That's nonsense!"
"Even if what you said is true, this power of sea burning is already hidden deep inside Li Yang's body. Any attempt to take it by force will endanger his life. How can you safely extract it?"
"If you really have the power to create the world, why do you need to discuss this matter with us mortals?"
The strange man's expression became serious.
After a while of silence, he slowly spoke:
"We respect every life and will try our best to avoid means of harming him."
"But once Hai Liao truly awakens, the entire universe will be in crisis of destruction."
"At that point, we have no choice but to sacrifice a few first to preserve the whole."
In an instant, a cold and silent atmosphere enveloped the three of them.
In the end, it was Li Yang who broke the silence first.
He sighed, looked at the surrounding scene for a while, and then said:
"Okay, since the stakes are so high, it is understandable to sacrifice the small self to save the big self."
"But before that, as a god, you should let me see the true face of this power, right?"
"If I am sure there is nothing wrong with what you said, I will make my choice."
The strange man was silent and looked at Li Yang quietly.
After a moment, he slowly raised his hand and pointed a finger at the top of Li Yang's head.
A beam of golden light spread from the man's fingertips.
Almost instantly, Li Yang felt an unparalleled energy suddenly emerge from his body, rolling towards his consciousness like a tsunami.
The next moment, magnificent scenes flashed before his eyes.
The galaxies are vast, the nebulae are gorgeous, the black holes are unfathomable, and the entire universe seems to be right in front of you.
That feeling, as if the entire universe is under my control, as omnipotent as the Creator...
So familiar...
This power is so familiar!
Li Yang's head was swollen from the impact of this force, but he also felt a sense of intimacy that came from the depths of his soul.
It seems that this is his innate ability.
Just when this power reached its peak, Li Yang's consciousness was suddenly pulled out of his body and into a vast void.
Everything around him appears solid, the cosmic nebulae are swirling around the body, and stars and black holes have no place to hide.
And at the edge of this void, there was a huge black shadow floating quietly. Its size made Li Yang feel almost hopelessly small.
And the shape of this shadow...
Li Yang also felt an inexplicable familiarity.
He had seen this thing before.
This is a huge, almost unparalleled flower.
The flower's stamen was replaced by a huge black hole-like mouth.
Just the fact that it is floating there is enough to make people feel like their souls are being sucked into it...
Li Yang was convinced that he had indeed seen this thing.
There is no doubt that this is [The Devourer of Worlds].
It's his own mythical plant, [Big Mouth Flower].
Is this the [Hai Liao] that the strange man said?
A terrifying existence that is enough to destroy the universe and requires the cooperation of many gods to suppress it?
Because there is always a link with Li Yang, Yongzhu can also see everything Li Yang sees.
Seeing this scene from the side, even Yao Zhu couldn't help but be shocked.
It didn't expect that the power in Li Yang's body was actually the "Hai Liao" that the so-called god said could destroy everything.
"How could it be...what on earth...is going on..."
Yaozhu murmured to himself, feeling unbelievable at the sight in front of him.
And the strange man, seeing that Li Yang had witnessed the power of "Hai Liao" with his own eyes, slowly said:
"Now you should understand, right? The existence of this power is such a huge threat to the entire universe."
"We gods have tried our best to seal it, but now it has reawakened in your body. This is something we cannot tolerate."
Li Yang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He looked around and saw that there seemed to be countless phosphorus particles and dust flowing in the void around him. Looking closely, those were nebulae and dust composed of countless metal atoms and minerals.
In front of the World Devourer, how could something with such a small mass not be attracted in?
This is not the real Big Mouth Flower, but an illusion that the guy made him see.
"Hehe... This is the truth of Hai Liao..." Li Yang smiled slightly and muttered to himself.
"Yes, what you see is the origin of Hai Liao." The strange man explained, "and its power is far more exaggerated than you think."
"It is the root power of the entire material universe, and has the ability to create and destroy everything..."
"Such a powerful existence is almost the same as a god."
The same as a god?
Li Yang nodded thoughtfully, thinking about something in his heart.
After a long time, he finally spoke:
"Oh, I understand, this power is indeed extraordinary."
"I can consider helping you, but before that, I have a question that needs to be answered..."
"Oh? If you have any questions, just ask them."
The strange man spoke slowly, appearing quite generous.
But Li Yang asked calmly:
"I am very curious, what is going on with you who claim to be gods?"
