At this point, Huo Yu paused. She did not know whether her guess was correct.
Because it was simply too outrageous!
This was only the beginning of the Reiki Revival. Even if a genius's awakened Superpower would be stronger, it could not possibly be so unreasonable, could it? At the very least, it could not give someone the confidence to negotiate terms with a country.
Unless this guy was insane, but Bai Xuan did not look like it. And judging by his current expression—somewhat surprised but not particularly shocked—it seemed that what she had said was correct?
Did he truly believe his strength was enough to contend with technology that had developed to this point?
What the hell?
Even if large-scale firepower could not be used in the city, many firearms were still incredibly powerful! Not to mention that the military district had talented Espers like Qin Tian, Chen Bing, and Chen Changsheng.
She found it difficult to imagine what kind of terrifying Superpower could give Bai Xuan such overwhelming confidence.
Or perhaps his strength was not actually that great, and she was just overthinking things?
Sigh, this was not something she could figure out by guessing.
When it came to Superpowers, no matter how unwilling one was to admit it, their unpredictability could not be denied.
Since Espers like them, who far surpassed ordinary people, could be born, why could there not be even more monstrous Espers who far surpassed them?
People had to accept reality. That was what she told herself, but...
"Can you tell me what your Superpower actually is?"
"You're so confident anyway, so it shouldn't matter if you tell me, right?"
"I promise I absolutely won't reveal it to anyone."
Huo Yu poked Bai Xuan's shoulder and spoke softly.
"..."
"You think I'd believe that?"
Bai Xuan looked at her speechlessly. The moment he told her, she would probably go back and report it straight to the higher-ups.
"Still, there's nothing I can't tell you."
Huo Yu's eyes lit up. She stared at him expectantly with both eyes, like a cat waiting to be fed.
She had only meant to give it a try. She had not expected him to actually be willing to tell her!
Whether it was a lie or not, once she got back, she would find people to analyze it from every possible angle and write thirty thousand words on it.
Bai Xuan paid no attention to Huo Yu's thoughts. He simply gazed out the window at the scenery as though no one else were there and said calmly,
"Don't you think the world after the Reiki Revival is beautiful?"
"Apart from the Spirit Energy-evolved creatures that we believe may threaten humanity, doesn't the Reiki Revival actually bring no harm to us, to plants, to animals, or even to the Earth beneath our feet?"
"But we are humans. Before considering other living things, shouldn't the first thing we consider be ourselves?"
Although Huo Yu did not know why Bai Xuan had suddenly brought this up, she did not refute him. Indeed, if one set aside the theory that biological evolution posed a threat, the Reiki Revival brought only benefits and no harm to both humanity and everything else.
But they were human, so naturally they viewed problems from a human perspective.
Once other creatures gained intelligence no less than humanity's and even greater power through evolution, would they become hostile toward humans? Would they harm humans? Would they threaten human civilization?
These were all matters they had to consider.
All life on Earth was equal, but humans were the ones who said that. Whether they were truly equal was also decided by humans themselves.
When humanity stood above other creatures, it could naturally feel guilt over certain things because of its own mercy, care, and regret. But if humanity could be matched or even surpassed by other creatures, then there were things it would no longer be qualified to say.
"But in nature, whether humans, flowers and grass, animals, or other things, their status is equal."
"Because they are all a part of nature."
"Likewise, because they all belong to nature, they are factors that build nature."
"Thunder, flames, raging winds, rainwater, light, darkness, and all kinds of Elements; Rhinoceroses, Pandas, Golden Eagles, White Tigers, Lions, and all kinds of Beasts; even technological weapons such as firearms, tanks, rocket launchers, and nuclear bombs—they are all part of nature too, aren't they?"
As Bai Xuan stated this so casually, Huo Yu's eyes widened.
What are you trying to say with all this?
What does nature containing these things have to do with your Superpower?
Don't tell me your ability is related to nature, and you can freely use the power of everything in nature?
Hahahaha, that has to be a joke.
How could there be such a terrifying Superpower in the world!
There definitely isn't one, right?!
Huo Yu's face was filled with despair. From the bottom of her heart, she felt that Bai Xuan was deceiving her, yet her reason told her that everything Bai Xuan said was true.
This guy's Superpower truly was related to nature—perhaps it was even nature itself.
But how could that be possible?
Nature encompassed far too many things! It even included humanity itself!
If Bai Xuan could truly borrow any power from nature, then humanity's power would naturally be included as well!
What power did humans possess?
They had not possessed much power before, but now they had fucking awakened Superpowers! All kinds of Superpowers!
If the power of nature Bai Xuan referred to even included their Superpowers, then him negotiating with the country was truly giving the country face.
Huo Yu left.
When she had arrived, she had worn a teasing expression, intending to let this young man know how vast the world was. When she left, her expression had collapsed, and she muttered that it was impossible. No one else needed to show her how vast the world was—she herself had become a frog at the bottom of a well.
As for Bai Xuan, the one who had reduced Huo Yu to this state?
He looked utterly innocent. Hadn't he said nothing at all? He had merely sighed over nature's beauty and its capacity to contain all things.
Everything else had been imagined by Huo Yu herself. It had nothing to do with him.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
By then, a large group of people in black suits had appeared outside Bai Xuan's home. Upon seeing him, they all bowed respectfully.
Bai Xuan was not puzzled by this. Although Huo Yu had suffered a massive mental collapse before leaving, she had not forgotten to tell him to pack his things and move into the villa assigned by the Spirit Energy Bureau the next day.
But why did they all have to wear suits?
Wearing suits was one thing, but wasn't it a little excessive to wear sunglasses too?
Anyone unaware of the situation would think they were bodyguards.
After grumbling to himself a little, Bai Xuan handed over his suitcase. Then, under their guidance, he rode in a special vehicle into a very quiet villa complex.
It was quiet because Bai Xuan had not seen a single person along the way.
But it made sense when he thought about it. This was an official area prepared specifically for Spirit Energy Bureau members, and only those with the best talent could live here. It was normal for there to be few people.
The villa assigned to Bai Xuan stood at the edge of the complex. It covered eight hundred square meters and had its own gym and training grounds.
