The private plane carrying Bai Sui and the others quickly arrived at the base in the air, where they were personally received by Zheng Xian, the director of the S.P.E.A.R..
Dressed in a sharp suit, Zheng Xian smiled and welcomed Bai Sui: "Welcome to the headquarters of our People's Strategic Law Enforcement and Vigilance Corps, or as we commonly call it, the S.P.E.A.R.."
The entire aerial fortress is brimming with a sense of technology; if you were to compare it to civilian technology, it would be at least forty or fifty years ahead of its time.
Soon, Bai Sui and his group arrived at a conference room. Besides Zheng Xian and Chi Wenfu, two familiar faces, there were also many other high-ranking officials from the S.P.E.A.R., clearly indicating that they attached great importance to this exchange.
Of course, many extraordinary personnel from the S.P.E.A.R. were also sitting here; the only ones Bai Sui could recognize were the Monkey King and the Weather Witch.
"We heard you say before that there are worlds beyond this one. Could you please tell us more about them?" Zheng Xian and the others spoke up first.
"Of course," Bai Sui said nonchalantly, since he had come for friendly exchange. "As I said before, just as there are other dimensions beyond Earth's, there are other universes beyond this one. I don't know how you connect with the Heavenly Court in the Great Luo Heaven, but I imagine there are some gods in the Heavenly Court who understand single universes, multiverses, and omnipotent universes."
"Could you please elaborate?" Chi Wenfu, who had previously had a fairly amicable conversation with Bai Sui, asked further.
"A single universe, to put it simply, means that once the power of those gods leaves this world, it will weaken, and in severe cases, they may even lose all their power. Furthermore, their consciousness is limited to a single universe, and they cannot know the situation in other worlds."
"In contrast to a single universe is the multiverse. The one who destroyed the Sanctum in Hong Kong was a follower of a god from a multiverse. Sorry, I forgot you don't know about this yet." Bai Sui suddenly realized that because of the time rewind, they didn't know what had happened.
"There is a dimensional demon god named Dormammu. I think you should have heard of this god of the Dark Dimension, since he once attempted to seize Earth in history, so quite a few people should know about him," Bai Sui asked the group.
" Dormammu? We do know about him. Legend has it that he possesses the power to destroy the world, but we've never actually seen him." The tone of this statement seemed to carry a hint of regret.
"It's best not to meet him, because once you do, either Earth has been completely dragged into the Dark Dimension by him, or you yourself have entered the Dark Dimension for some reason, neither of which is a good thing."
Alright, we've gone a bit off-topic. Let's get back to the Hong Kong issue. The sorcerers once established a powerful Earth defense array around the world, and Hong Kong was a crucial node in this array. In order to break through this defense array, Dormammu's followers decided to destroy this node, allowing Dormammu to descend upon Earth.
Afterwards, the Supreme Master used the Eye of Agamotto, passed down through generations, to rewind Hong Kong to its state before the anomaly occurred. So what you see in Hong Kong now is actually a state that has been destroyed once and then rebuilt." Bai Sui explained the situation to everyone.
"Back to the multiverse, I was just trying to give you an example. Dormammu is a god-demon of the multiverse level. He controls more than one universe. He can act outside of a single universe without his power dropping, and his consciousness can appear in different universes at the same time, without being absolutely controlled by a single universe."
To give an analogy, it's like Director Zheng Xian. Although there are many versions of you in countless universes, your consciousness is limited to yourself, just the you within this universe. Therefore, you are a single-universe level being. But once you in many universes suddenly connect your consciousness or power through some method, then you transcend the constraints of a single universe and become a multiverse level being.
"Even a being at the multiverse level can only connect to a limited number of consciousnesses. If he could go a step further and connect his consciousness in every world, and spread his consciousness or power to every world, then he could become an omnipotent being." Bai Sui explained it as concisely as possible.
After giving everyone some time to absorb the information, Bai Sui continued, "That's all I have to say. It's to help you understand that this world is made up of countless other worlds. For example, I've seen universes that have been contaminated by some kind of strange virus, universes where all life forms have their genders reversed, and many other worlds of various kinds."
To increase credibility, Bai Sui used Ki Magic to present the scenes from her memories to everyone, allowing those present to directly experience some of the worlds that Bai Sui had seen back then.
Although those present still harbored some doubts, they decided to believe for the time being, since there was no way to prove it at the moment. However, they also decided to arrange for someone to contact the Heavenly Court later to inquire about the multiverse.
Anyway, Bai Sui has already explained his origins as an Eastern deity from another universe. Whether they believe him or not is their own business.
After that, Bai Sui and Zheng Xian discussed their cooperation plans. As a special advisor to their S.P.E.A.R., Bai Sui enjoyed certain privileges and only needed to fulfill limited obligations. He was mostly just a figurehead with a nominal position.
The relationship between the two sides was more of an exchange. Bai Sui provided some technologies that the S.P.E.A.R. did not have, as well as some assistance. In return, the S.P.E.A.R. helped Bai Sui arrange the spread of faith and collect various special materials. Of course, they could also choose to exchange technologies that Bai Sui needed.
After finalizing the basic framework of the cooperation, the S.P.E.A.R. arranged a room for Bai Sui at the base as a temporary place to stay.
The reason for this is that although Zheng Xian is the director, he does not have absolute authority, and he himself is not a professional; some technical skills still need to be evaluated by specialists.
For some reason, Bai Sui first presented a spaceship construction technology to Zheng Xian as a token of his sincerity.
It's important to understand that current spaceship construction technology, thanks to the combined improvements of the Naruto World and Jackie Chan Adventures worlds, can now guarantee the overall performance of ships using only conventional materials. It's a technology that's absolutely competitive.
Although Zheng Xian was attracted to it after only a few glances, he lacked the necessary expertise and was unsure of its feasibility, so he had no choice but to hand it over to the Space Program Office for further study.
However, this spaceship construction technology not only increased the credibility of other universes, but also increased the importance of Bai Sui in their minds.
After all, it's not hard to see from those technologies that they originated from humans, even those with Eastern thought. After all, there are extraterrestrial life in this universe, and there are even quite a few aliens in the S.P.E.A.R.. Scientists can instantly distinguish the differences between those alien technologies, since civilization and thought have a great influence on technology and its expression.
Upon receiving this information, the space program office was immediately invigorated and led a team to conduct various data analyses, ultimately confirming the feasibility of the data.
Similarly, during their conversation with the Heavenly Court, they learned that the S.P.E.A.R. does indeed exist, which essentially confirms the veracity of Bai Sui's claims.
In fact, even if they found out it was fake, Zheng Xian and his team were prepared to accept it, since the technology in Bai Sui's hands was just too valuable. As they analyzed the information provided by Bai Sui, other research institutions in China that knew about the matter and had the ability to get involved began to contact Zheng Xian.
So the next morning, Zheng Xian personally came to Bai Sui to finalize some details of the previous transaction. After all, judging from how easily Bai Sui had taken out the spaceship technology, it was clear that Bai Sui had even more advanced technology in his possession.
At Zheng Xian's invitation, Bai Sui went to the conference room with him. Through the equipment inside, he showed Bai Sui all kinds of special materials that had been collected domestically, including some that he hadn't yet obtained but could acquire through certain means, and let him choose from them.
Logically speaking, this kind of thing doesn't need Director Zheng Xian to do personally. He has countless people under him who can do it. After all, he's not idle every day; his daily work schedule is very full.
After learning about the situation, the domestic authorities raised the level of attention given to Bai Sui to a very high degree. After all, a deity from the Eastern Pure Land like Bai Sui is quite rare in China. The gods in the Heavenly Court rarely come to Earth, and they usually lend their power to their representatives. It is extremely rare to be able to directly contact someone like Bai Sui.
The idea of lending one's power to a representative is practiced by various pantheons around the world. For example, the Monkey King in the S.P.E.A.R. was originally a criminal who was framed by one of his rivals and went to steal the possible Golden Cudgel based on a legend. As a result, he was sealed in a cave, which led him to encounter the real Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong said he wanted to see if the person's soul was righteous or evil. However, this person was a criminal, and his soul was immediately determined to be evil. So, he was saved, and Sun Wukong threw him into hell.
Later Odin's brother Cul, the former Asgard king Serpent, lost much of his power on Earth and chose his apostles in an attempt to destroy the world. Sun Wukong released this criminal from Hell so that he could atone for his sins by preventing the world from being destroyed.
Therefore, having been given power by Sun Wukong, he called himself the Monkey King and possessed the abilities that Sun Wukong used, only that they were weakened by many levels compared to the original.
Therefore, in addition to obtaining technology from Bai Sui, Zheng Xian also wanted to find out from Bai Sui whether he could borrow power.
Although Zheng Xian phrased it tactfully, Bai Sui immediately knew what the other party wanted to ask, so she took out twelve talismans with one hand, which she of course forged using chakra.
"Each of these twelve talismans possesses a unique and magical power, granting the user different strengths. They can be used separately or by one person, and the requirements for the user are very low; any normal person can use them." Although Bai Sui spoke casually, Zheng Xian, who received the Twelve Talismans, looked solemn.
Especially after hearing that the Horse Talisman could cure 99% of the world's injuries and illnesses, and the Dog Talisman could bring people back to life, Bai Sui's rating was raised to a whole new level.
After all, in the Chinese pantheon, gods who can reverse life and death are all great deities. Although Bai Sui claims to be the Cloud God, none of the abilities he has demonstrated are related to clouds. This makes Zheng Xian wonder if the clouds Bai Sui talks about are not the same as the clouds he understands.
Bai Sui's divine sense had been surrounding him, easily sensing the other's thoughts, so he didn't say anything, "These powers don't originate from the Cloud God's divine office, but entirely from myself. After you spread the faith for me, you can choose some temple priests. At that time, as long as those temple priests serve devoutly, they will naturally gain some abilities related to the Cloud God's divine office. At the very least, they can control clouds and rain, and beyond that, they can control wind, rain, thunder, and lightning."
"You mean, some temple priests?" Zheng Xian immediately grasped the key point in Bai Sui's words.
"That's right. I don't believe in any god, so I don't need much faith power. Faith is more of a supplement for me. So if I have enough faith power, I can bestow it on the temple priests as a salary for managing their affairs." Sometimes, the clearer you are about these things, the better the effect. On the one hand, you're letting the other person know that you don't necessarily need to believe, and you're even showing them various amazing abilities. Afterward, you use this method to make the other person more interested, since it's a win-win situation.
Zheng Xian did not doubt the words of the cloud god before him. After all, these were things that could be tested and found out, so there was no need for him to lie. Therefore, he could already foresee what kind of power such a group of cloud-controlling and rain-making temple priests could demonstrate in the hands of the state. Zheng Xian was eager to report this situation, since it was no longer something he could decide on his own.
