Chapter 446: The Most Unreasonable Law
The dozen or so White Dews and Snake Eye Berries entered Xia Fei's stomach. His attempt to use the level 4 psychokinesis technique Fearless had taken a lot out of him.
As his level increased, Xia Fei increasingly felt that the energy White Dews could provide was limited. It was as if these miraculous little fruits could no longer satisfy Xia Fei's energy needs.
Furball, on the other hand, did not have this problem. He relied on Purple Hearts of Spirit to absorb energy. Purple Hearts of Spirit were extremely precious, so they were naturally more effective than the White Dews that Xia Fei consumed.
Alas, the energy contained in Hearts of Spirit was too violent for Xia Fei. Though he had obtained a manual from the Assassin Sect's secret chamber that explained how to absorb energy from Hearts of Spirit, he had never had the materials or time to do so due to the complicated energy conversion equipment he needed.
Xia Fei used the teleportation array to reach the fifth floor as his thoughts ran wild. The spacious temple was so quiet that even the drop of a needle could be heard. Nine black stone pillars, each a hundred meters tall, were arranged in a circular formation. The roof was also circular, and the walls, pillars, and floor were all covered in mysterious and complicated patterns. It was like a sky full of stars. Standing there, it was as if one was looking up at the stars in the quiet night.
"Sigh! One hundred thousand elite warriors, but only one survived, and it's a human. "A grumbling voice came from the distance. It was a very thin voice, and it seemed to belong to a crafty woman.
A deep male voice soon followed. "You can't say that. After all, this human has received our master's legacy, so he can be considered to be fated with us."
"Hmph! The God of Night is your master, not mine. Why should I take care of him? It's clearly a gift left for the insectoids. There's no reason to give it to a human, right? "
"This …"
Xia Fei was very curious. It seemed to be a man and a woman conversing. The man was very honest, and he did not know how to respond to the woman's endless pestering, so he was at a loss for words. However, Xia Fei did not see anyone after looking around, nor could he tell where the voices were coming from.
Just as he was about to follow the path out of the temple, two giant parrots flew in from outside. One was black and the other was white. They were over two meters tall and had a wingspan of at least ten meters. They had crown-like tumors on their heads, and the black parrot even had a beard.
The white parrot landed on the ground and said harshly, "Unruly human. You didn't even pay your respects to the Black and White Gods when you arrived at the Divine Temple. Boss Black even gave you the important Law of Primal Chaos."
The black parrot gently poked the white parrot with his wing and kindly said, "You're talking too much."
"Aiya." The white parrot hastily used her wings to cover her mouth, her two golden eyes spinning around. "Oh no, I accidentally revealed the Law of Primal Chaos."
Off to the side, Black Parrot repeatedly sighed. It seemed that White Parrot's harsh and unrestrained mouth left him helpless.
The two parrots bowed to Xia Fei, flapping their wings and keeping their heads close to the ground, appearing very well-behaved.
Xia Fei was confused. These two birds had just been scolding him, so why were they so polite in the blink of an eye?
He hurriedly stretched out his hands to help them up and said, "Brother Bird, what are you doing? Please get up. "
White Parrot immediately panicked, her sharp voice hurriedly saying, "You're so unruly, human. How are we bowing to you, we're bowing to the thing on your shoulder …"
Before she could finish, Black Parrot poked the white parrot again. The white parrot unwillingly glared at Xia Fei and used her wing to cover her mouth.
Xia Fei finally understood that these two birds were bowing to Furball. The plump ball on his shoulder had a look of disdain on its face, its head raised so high that its eyes were almost looking up at the ceiling.
Furball very impressively coughed, and only then did the black and white birds straighten their bodies.
Xia Fei was utterly speechless. He looked in shock at Furball, wondering just what sort of ability this fellow had that even the pet birds of the Black and White Gods had to bow to it? This was far too strange.
"Lord Shatterstar, I'm Blackie, the guardian that the God of Night left in this space. This one next to me is called Whitey, appointed by the God of Day. Guarding this domain is our duty, so if there's anything lacking, I hope that Lord Shatterstar will not take offense," the black parrot very respectfully said.
Furball slightly nodded, indicating that he did not mind.
Xia Fei stared at Furball and asked, "You're called Shatterstar?"
Furball immediately changed its attitude, smiling as it rubbed itself against Xia Fei's neck, looking as adorable as it could be. The haughty attitude it had when it was facing the black and white birds was gone, its expression changing so quickly that it left one speechless.
"Shatterstar isn't a nice name. Furball is much cuter," Xia Fei said after some thought.
Furball repeatedly nodded, believing that Xia Fei's words were very correct and began to flirt with him.
Black Parrot was dumbfounded, not daring to believe that the mighty Holy Beast Shatterstar would be so obedient to a human. Meanwhile, that white parrot had a belly full of anger, and she quickly muttered, "You actually gave Lord Shatterstar such a tacky name as Furball? You're a human with a broken head."
Her voice was not loud, but in the silence of the temple, everyone present could clearly hear it. Furball glared at the white parrot in displeasure, and that bird hurriedly lowered its head, not daring to meet Furball's gaze.
The black parrot sighed. Whitey had a very talkative personality, and the two of them had lived together for many years, so they were already used to it. Ever since they were young, it had been because of that unreliable mouth of hers that she had stirred up quite a bit of trouble.
"According to the rules, those who come to the temple must first pay their respects to the Black and White Gods. Please come with me." The black parrot extended his wings and made an inviting gesture like a human, leading Xia Fei through a curved door into a room in the back of the temple.
This room was also circular, and it was much wider than the previous one. The ceiling was three hundred meters high and covered an area of several square kilometers.
Two massive stone statues stood majestically, one black and one white. They were of the same height, and they both wore masks that obscured their appearances. They wore long windbreakers that tightly wrapped around their bodies.
Xia Fei bowed to the statues, his attitude quite respectful. The black parrot gave a slight nod of approval, but the white parrot was still as unkind as ever. Furball coldly glanced at the two statues and ignored them, and the two birds also ignored him. It seemed that in terms of status, Furball was equal to the Black and White Gods.
After bowing, the two birds led Xia Fei back to the previous room. The black parrot brought out a cup of water from somewhere, and Xia Fei took it and drank it. He immediately felt refreshed, his entire body indescribably comfortable.
"Brother Black, may I ask what the Law of Primal Chaos that Brother Whitey mentioned was about?" Xia Fei curiously asked.
"What Brother Whitey? Can't you tell that I'm a lady? "the white parrot was furious, her voice shrill as she spoke.
Xia Fei hurriedly apologized and called her "Lady Whitey." This bird did not let him off, and in the end, Blackie gave her a sneaky nudge before letting Xia Fei off. Her sharp and unkind personality was enough to make anyone feel a headache coming on.
The black parrot looked at Whitey and sighed. "Master gave you the totem but didn't tell you what it is. He must have his reasons, but Whitey just pointed it out. I'm sure that master won't blame me if I tell you the meaning of the totem, but I'll only say what should be said. I won't say anything that shouldn't be said, even if you ask."
"Of course. I won't ask what shouldn't be asked," Xia Fei said with a smile.
The black parrot pointed at Xia Fei's left arm. "This totem is called the Law of Primal Chaos, one of the many mysterious laws of the universe.
"All things in the universe are divided into yin and yang. The power of the Law of Primal Chaos lies in its reversal of yin and yang, throwing all things into chaos, so it's also called the Law of Chaos."
Xia Fei did not understand, so the black parrot pointed at Whitey. "Look, I was born with black feathers while Whitey has white feathers. If you can grasp the Law of Primal Chaos, you can turn me white and Whitey black."
"Inverting black and white? Wouldn't that be unreasonable? "
The black parrot heartily laughed. "The Law of Primal Chaos is the most unreasonable and tyrannical law in the universe. You're right on this point."
Whitey did not say anything for a long time. She could no longer hold it in any longer, so she used this chance to interject. "Boss Black must've discovered that you have the potential to be unreasonable and break the rules, so he gave you the most unreasonable law in the universe. I hope that you can one day comprehend the mysteries of the Law of Primal Chaos and become an existence as unreasonable and unreasonable as Boss Black."
Eh …
Xia Fei was speechless, mentally saying, 'Do I look that barbaric?'
The others could not hear these words, but Phantom heard them clearly. He nodded repeatedly and said, "These two birds are right. You are indeed not a person who follows the rules, and you are not very reasonable either. You do have the potential in this area."
Xia Fei rolled his eyes at Phantom and ignored him.
The black parrot was very unhappy at Whitey's words. He solemnly said to Xia Fei, "The Law of Primal Chaos isn't actually as Whitey says. There are all sorts of rules in the universe. Life can be born and can die. Planets can move. White holes can be released and black holes can devour. These are all rules.
"The people of the world only know that they have to follow the rules, but very few people have thought about why a white hole can't devour? Why can't a black hole be released?
"The Law of Primal Chaos exists to break the fixed rules of the universe, to make the impossible possible. The people of the world feel that the Law of Primal Chaos is unreasonable only because they are too deeply influenced by things like reason and rules. They are unwilling to think about why the rules cannot be broken.
"Thus, the Law of Primal Chaos can also be viewed as a rebellious spirit. It represents the desire to get to the bottom of everything, to investigate the source of everything.
"It seems to be a rebellious spirit that is worlds apart from the Law of Origin, but in truth, the Law of Primal Chaos and the most profound of Origin Laws are inextricably linked."
Xia Fei slightly nodded. Questioning the existence of rules and reason was something that struck a chord in his heart. Xia Fei had always been a person who liked to break the rules, to walk a path that others had never taken before. When he first entered the universe, he had chosen to be a lowly librarian. This was the best example of breaking the rules.
Reality had proven that this path of breaking the rules and walking alone was not impossible. Xia Fei had seen many sights that others had never seen before on this path, becoming the person he was today.
"I've only heard of the Law of Space, the Law of Time, and the Law of Matter. As for the Law of Primal Chaos and Origin Laws, this is my first time hearing about them. Brother Black's words have benefited Xia Fei greatly," Xia Fei seriously said.
