Factors That Build Nature, Huo Yu's Expression Collapses

Huo Yu paused, unsure if her conjecture was accurate.

Because it was simply too exaggerated!

The Reiki Revival had only just begun. Even if the abilities awakened by geniuses were more powerful, they couldn't possibly defy common sense to such an extent, could they? At the very least, it shouldn't be enough to give someone the confidence to negotiate with a nation.

Unless this guy was a lunatic, but Bai Xuan didn't seem like one. Moreover, looking at his current expression—a mix of slight surprise but nothing truly shocking—it seemed her assessment might actually be correct.

Did he truly believe his power was sufficient to face the technology developed to this day?

What the hell!

Even if large-scale heavy weaponry couldn't be used within cities, many firearms were still incredibly powerful! Not to mention, the military district had talents like Qin Tian, Chen Bing, and Chen Changsheng, all of whom possessed formidable abilities.

She found it hard to imagine what kind of terrifying ability could grant Bai Xuan such immense self-assurance.

Or perhaps his power wasn't that great, and she was just overthinking it?

Sigh, these things couldn't be figured out just by guessing.

Abilities were the kind of thing that, no matter how much you refused to acknowledge it, you couldn't deny their inherent uncertainty.

Since the world could give birth to Espers like them, who far surpassed ordinary people, why couldn't there be even more monstrous Espers who far surpassed them in turn?

People really had to accept reality. That was what they said, but still.

"Can you tell me what your ability actually is?"

"Since you're so confident, it wouldn't hurt to tell me, right?"

"I promise you, I will never reveal it to anyone else."

Huo Yu poked Bai Xuan's shoulder and whispered.

"."

"Do you think I'd believe that?"

Bai Xuan looked at her, speechless. He feared that if he told her, she would go straight back and report it to the higher-ups.

"Though, there's nothing really wrong with saying it."

Huo Yu's eyes lit up. She stared at him with anticipation, her eyes like a cat waiting to be fed.

She had only been testing the waters; she hadn't expected him to actually be willing to talk!

Regardless of whether it was a lie, she would find people to analyze it from every angle and write a thirty-thousand-word research paper on it as soon as she got back.

Bai Xuan didn't pay any mind to Huo Yu's thoughts. He simply looked at the scenery outside the window, as if no one else were present, and said indifferently:

"Don't you think the world after the Reiki Revival is beautiful?"

"Aside from the creatures evolved through Reiki that we deem a threat to humanity, doesn't the Reiki Revival actually have no downsides for us, for plants, for animals, or for the Earth beneath our feet?"

"But we are human. Before considering other creatures, shouldn't we consider ourselves first?"

Although Huo Yu didn't know why Bai Xuan had suddenly brought this up, she didn't refute him. It was true; if one set aside the theory of evolutionary threats, the Reiki Revival had only benefits and no drawbacks for humans and other things alike.

But they were human, so they naturally thought about problems from a human perspective.

When other creatures possessed intelligence and power not inferior to humans due to evolution, would they harbor hostility toward humanity? Would they harm humans? Would they pose a threat to human civilization?

These were all things they had to consider.

Every life on Earth was equal, but that was a statement made by humans; whether they were truly equal was also decided by humans themselves.

When humans stood above other creatures, they could naturally harbor feelings of guilt toward certain things out of their own pity, affection, or regret. But if humans were to be rivaled or even surpassed by other creatures, then they would no longer have the right to speak of such things.

"But in nature, whether it is humans, plants, animals, or other things, their status is equal."

"Because they are all part of nature."

"By the same logic, because they all belong to nature, they are factors that construct nature."

"Thunder, fire, wind, rain, light, darkness, and other such elements; rhinoceroses, pandas, Golden Eagles, white tigers, lions, and other such beasts; even technological weapons like firearms, tanks, rocket launchers, and nuclear bombs—they are all actually part of nature, aren't they?"

As Bai Xuan said this nonchalantly, Huo Yu's eyes widened.

What are you trying to express by saying all this?

What does nature containing these things have to do with your ability?

It couldn't possibly be that your ability is related to nature and allows you to freely use the power of everything in the natural world, could it?

Hahahaha, that's a joke, right?

There is no such terrifying ability in the world!

There definitely isn't!!!

Huo Yu's face was a picture of collapse. She felt from the bottom of her heart that Bai Xuan was deceiving her, yet her reason told her that everything he said was true.

This guy's ability was truly related to nature, or perhaps he was nature itself.

But how could such a thing be possible?

Nature encompassed far too much! It even included them, the humans!

If Bai Xuan could truly borrow any power from the natural world, then the power of humanity was naturally included within it as well!

What power do they humans possess?

In the past, they had none, but now, damn it, they have awakened superpowers! All sorts of superpowers!

If the power in the natural world that Bai Xuan referred to included their superpowers, then he was truly giving the state face by discussing it with them.

Huo Yu left.

When she arrived, she was perfectly fine, wearing a playful expression, wanting to show the young man how vast the world was; when she left, her expression had collapsed, and she muttered that it was impossible, that no one knew how vast the world was, while she herself had become a frog at the bottom of a well.

As for Bai Xuan, who had turned Huo Yu into this state?

He looked innocent; he clearly hadn't said anything, had he? He had merely sighed at the beauty of nature and how it encompassed All Things.

Everything else was just Huo Yu's own imagination; it had nothing to do with him.

Time flowed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

At this moment, a large group of people in black suits had appeared at the entrance of Bai Xuan's home, and upon seeing Bai Xuan, they bowed respectfully in unison.

Bai Xuan had no doubts about this; although Huo Yu's mentality had completely collapsed before she left, she hadn't 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 wearing sunglasses a bit much?

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were bodyguards.

After a slight grumble, Bai Xuan handed over the suitcase in his hand and then, led by them, took a special car into a very quiet villa complex.

It was called quiet because Bai Xuan hadn't seen a single person along the way.

But thinking about it, it was quite normal; after all, it was an official area, specifically prepared for members of the Spirit Energy Bureau, and only members with the most outstanding talent could live there, so it was normal for there to be few people.

The villa assigned to Bai Xuan was located on the edge of the villa complex, covering an area of eight hundred square meters, with a dedicated gym and training grounds.
