After all, time travel is a thing.
Who would believe it before experiencing it firsthand!?
He might as well just say he comes from another planet; that would greatly increase his credibility. In fact, in a sense, there's absolutely no deception in what he's saying!
Because he really did come from another planet.
It simply refers to being reborn twice.
Therefore, when Qi said these words, he appeared calm and composed. Even the most powerful and confident liar would have some inner turmoil.
Qi, this is absolutely the truth, there's no need for you to feel guilty or anything like that.
The moment Qi uttered those words, Gamamaru not only stared intently at Qi with his Toad eyes, but the immense Natural Energy emanating from his body also converged at that moment, firmly locking onto Qi, thus doubly verifying the truthfulness of Qi's words!
Based on the previous conversation.
Gamamaru was pretty sure that the little guy in front of him was definitely a teenager and couldn't possibly have any deep cunning!
A very steady voice, and an extremely calm state of mind.
Judging from this, the probability of the speaker lying is definitely less than one percent, but Gamamaru is the kind of guy who will seize on even a one-in-a-thousand chance.
but!
In light of what Qi said.
It's pretty much certain that it's Gamamaru.
The boy in front of us is telling the truth!
"So it really comes from another planet. The power of Chakra? Is it the result of that giant tree growing? That means it's actually a good thing for the people of our planet!"
However, in keeping with the author's style of relentlessly questioning.
Gamamaru once again asked a probing question.
Qi knew perfectly well what was going on, and after a cold smile to himself, he...
Without hesitation, he replied, "A good thing? Ha! Do you think that tree would appear out of nowhere? And do you really think a tree that absorbs all the power in the world would eventually give back to you? I don't know much more. I can only tell Deer God and Gamamaru what our world has experienced. Hundreds of years ago, a giant tree like this suddenly appeared on our planet and began frantically absorbing our world's primordial energy. All those on our planet who possessed extraordinary power panicked because the loss of this primordial energy gradually weakened their power. They discovered that if this continued, they would all be completely drained and become powerless beings. I think your current situation is probably similar!"
Qi looked at Gamamaru and Deer God with a deliberately mocking expression.
This is a direct and explicit statement.
This caused both the Deer God and the Gamamaru to change their expressions.
Especially the Deer God.
Unlike Gamamaru, a supernatural creature that purely absorbs Natural Energy, the power used by deities like the Deer God is the primordial energy of this world and this planet. The reason why the gods in the original work, as well as the Onmyoji, completely dissipated was because of the energy absorbed by the God Tree!
In other words, this planet has enough energy!
A single God Tree could not absorb all the energy needed to bear fruit, leaving the planet with a vast amount of Natural Energy and a special energy combination like the Dragon Vein!
But once something like this happens, there's a fear it might happen again!
The Deer God could already sense that his power was gradually weakening.
And Gamamaru had also sensed the changes in the planet, knew perfectly well that what Kei said was true!
The expressions of both beasts subconsciously turned gloomy, but neither of them said anything, because they knew that what Qi was about to say was the main event!
"Then, roughly after absorbing enough energy, the giant tree bore fruit—a mouthwatering fruit, a fruit that grants immense power to whoever consumes it!"
"That fruit is?"
"Yes, it's the fruit known as the source of Chakra power!"
"Did you eat that fruit?"
The Deer God, sitting nearby, couldn't wait to ask directly.
Gamamaru, on the contrary, fell silent at this moment.
"Ha, me? Are you joking? Deer God, a fruit that absorbed the energy of an entire planet, how could I possibly consume it? If I could, would I be speaking to you so calmly right now?"
Qi seemed to be telling a lame joke.
The Deer God choked.
"I don't know who ate the fruit, because that happened hundreds of years ago. The only information we have is that a massive battle erupted because of that fruit, and there were only two of them. We don't know the final outcome, only that the fruit eventually merged into our planet. While we lost our original power, we gained this power called Chakra! And now, we descendants, as long as we master the methods and possess certain talent, can extract this power from our own bodies!"
Qi continued in a calm tone.
"Two? You mean people related to that giant tree? Or the people who planted the tree?"
Gamamaru quickly grasped the key point and asked directly.
"Well, who knows? Maybe yes, maybe no. Do you think I'd know anything about things that happened hundreds of years ago? But right now, isn't there a giant tree on your planet? I can already sense that the energy on your planet is draining away. I have no intention of getting involved in your world's affairs; I just want to go back to my planet!"
If everything before was the 'truth'...
This is where you start to add your own touches. Of course, you can't just make it up entirely on the spot. First, you can't come up with a perfect script, and second, making it up on the spot is too easy to run into problems. It has to be based on reality.
The third version from the original work, which is the story of Kaguya's era passed down in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, is very suitable!
Kaguya's Backstab - Isshiki.
Look.
Doesn't that create a sense of realism?
Qi doesn't expect the other side to believe him much. To reiterate, Qi's current intention is very simple: to find the Dragon Vein!
Approaching the Dragon Vein!
Then try to activate the Dragon Vein to return to your original timeline!
He has no interest in anything else, nor does he dare to be interested in anything else!
Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with worrying about affecting the plot!
Because Qi felt that he hadn't actually traveled to the era before his own timeline!
The reason is simple!
He felt this was a paradox of time and space.
He cannot influence the plot and cause his future self to disappear.
But if the plot changes and causes your future self to disappear, how can your future self travel back in time to influence the plot?
This is a classic spacetime paradox!
