Chapter 414 Two New Members Have Joined the Council (Second Update)
Su Han's eyelids twitched; the Origin Crystal actually had this effect...
No, the One Piece world is actually quite similar to the previous worlds that underwent the ritual. Su Han suddenly realized. Essentially... after fusing with the crystal, it was as if a world had opened its doors to the Misty Space and to Su Han, and all secrets were gone...
From this perspective, whether it's One Piece, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, or Qin's Moon, they are all essentially the same.
It can only be said that because of the different power systems of the worlds, the content that these worlds revealed to Su Han and the Misty Space is also different.
"But this is ultimately a good thing." Su Han sighed silently, then tried his best to use his computing power to analyze the Devil Fruits of the One Piece world.
Su Han estimated in his mind that it would take him about a month to fully understand the essence of all the Devil Fruits in the One Piece world.
Whitebeard stared at Su Han with some unease, mainly because of the "interesting" comment Su Han had made earlier.
In the past, when fusing with the primordial crystals of other worlds, Su Han's attitude was always very casual. This made Whitebeard wonder if something was wrong with his world.
Could it be... a side effect of the previous invasion by that evil god? Whitebeard lowered his eyes, his mind racing.
Even if the evil god hasn't actually descended, who knows how corrupting an existence of that level is? Unless the council chairman says it's absolutely safe, Whitebeard has no idea what to expect.
Just as Whitebeard was considering whether to ask, a loud bang rang out, and real illusions began to rise around them.
That was an extremely ancient scene, a scene where the ancestors of all intelligent life in the pirate world gradually awakened their intelligence and fought against the harsh environment, powerful sea kings, and monsters on land...
Humans and their subspecies gradually built civilized nations belonging to an intelligent race. Eventually, at a certain point, they reached a state of unparalleled prosperity…
Then came the lost four hundred years ago.
The D clan, Im, the Celestial Dragons, and the Five Elders all take the stage... The Marine Headquarters is established...
Whitebeard's eyes twitched incessantly, Madara Uchiha's gaze was deep, and Huang Rong scanned everything with great interest... They found that as time passed, the scene gradually became familiar.
Soon, the time arrived for Roger to become the Pirate King. At the moment of his execution, he sowed the seeds with his words, igniting the Great Age of Pirates…
After the chaos of the early Age of Exploration, the Four Emperors stood at the edge of the New World, becoming an invincible monument.
After joining the council, Whitebeard's strength increased by leaps and bounds. In the end, with his unparalleled power, he swept away all enemies in the world, and no one could compete with him.
Even more terrifying, he spread his own ideology, teaching Monkey D. Dragon... At the same time, with absolute power, words, and evidence, he crushed the Navy Headquarters's will to resist, leading them to join the New World Government, reform the world, develop technology, and achieve universal harmony...
Finally, the endless scene paused on the white-bearded man's calm face as he offered sacrifices to the heavens.
The illusion of reality gradually dissipated, and the scene fell silent.
"So, this is what happened four hundred years ago in the world of One Piece. The D clan, the Celestial Dragons..." Huang Rong's eyes flickered, her expression somewhat gloomy.
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely; that's perfectly normal," Ying Zheng said expressionlessly, his fingers lightly stroking the armrest. "But looking at that scene, I'm suddenly thinking... should I also try to establish a constitutional monarchy?"
After a brief pause, Ying Zheng suddenly laughed, "But thinking about it, it seems impossible for me to die! To rule the Qin Empire for eternity... It's really pointless to consider this now."
"So... what did you all see?" Ilya stared blankly at the group of people in front of her. The scenes had flashed by so quickly that she hadn't even had time to process what they were depicting.
“Don’t overthink it,” Bruce Wayne said in a hoarse voice. “They seem to know everything, but actually… they’re just guessing based on what they’ve seen…”
"I think what they've imagined is probably much more than what they've actually seen in the official history." Bruce Wayne, drawing on his own experiences, quickly grasped the situation.
"Pfft, hahaha, you've managed to conjure up ancient history with your own imagination, huh?" Sakata Gintoki couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After a brief silence, Madara Uchiha suddenly looked at Whitebeard, his words seeming to be both a sigh and an implication, "Speaking of which, based on what we saw before... the methods used by the Celestial Dragons' ancestors to establish their nations and alliances, while not exactly righteous, were at least far superior to those of the current foolish Celestial Dragons... Time truly possesses an extremely terrifying power."
"What do you want to say?" Whitebeard looked at Madara Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha's tone remained unchanged, "I highly doubt that the World Government you've allowed Dragon to establish will become the same thing in a few hundred years... Nothing will change."
“No,” the white-bearded man said softly. “The system is different… Didn’t Mr. Ying Zheng say before that absolute power corrupts absolutely?”
"Our policy here is based on popular elections, so there is no possibility of the emergence of absolute power."
After a brief pause, the white-bearded man's voice took on a serious tone, "More importantly... I'm still here."
Whitebeard is the most basic and powerful shield for protecting the interests of the people of the world today.
Because he can live long enough, and he is strong enough...
If he wanted to, he could single-handedly overthrow the entire world government.
"Father... your world's new world government! I think we can let time witness the final result... The key now is, what will happen to you after your successful ritual?" Saeko Busujima's eyes were burning with concern. Compared to the situation in the pirate world, she was more concerned about Whitebeard's physical condition.
After all, as time went by... Saeko Busujima gradually came to truly regard Whitebeard as her father...
"Gurara, this is unbelievably good! According to the information coming from my mind! I can maintain my current peak physical condition until the time of my death..."
Whitebeard thought for a moment and felt that the description was not quite accurate. "No, I should say that I no longer have the possibility of dying of old age! As long as the current human civilization does not perish, I will not die. This is the reasonable right of me as an agent of the will of heaven."
"Of course... if civilization or the world is destroyed, the primal power within me may dissipate significantly, and I will lose my status as a world priest, right? Then, my body will revert to a state without sacrifice."
"Is that so?" Saeko Busujima nodded knowingly, finally feeling relieved.
Su Han watched with great interest as the group exchanged their thoughts. However, as time passed, he gradually began to feel bored.
Just as Su Han was pondering whether to enter the month of cultivation or the day of the decisive battle, he suddenly sensed something.
"Hmm? Is this feeling again?" Su Han's gaze sharpened as he looked at the two bronze chairs in the corner.
Suddenly, mist rose from the two bronze chairs, and two slender figures materialized.
