Wei Tianyang took Baphot and two line worms, returning to the Pei Guode Hotel through objective reality.
Although there had been so minor incidents, the situation was still within his control; the remaining undead had completed their tasks, with the corpses of dozens of Heavenly Falling Objects all converging in the objective reality of Hida Port. Once the offshore drilling platform was built, they would be hidden inside those large columns.
During this ti, Wei Tianyang also had been trying to find Spencer and the core mbers of his foundation.
But Spencer was no ordinary man. He knew too much about the Heavenly Falling Objects and Lilith, and with his judgnt, experience, and technological assets, he was able to evade Wei Tianyang’s surveillance in every sense of the word.
The Earth was very small; the black giant Wei Tianyang could circle it in a high-speed flight in just 4 minutes.
But the Earth was also very vast, and finding one person out of billions, even with Wei Tianyang’s abilities, was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Wei Tianyang guessed that Spencer had already employed so kind of isolation tool, like the one he himself had used at Libitelli.
During this period, Baphot’s routine involved eating, then sleeping, and not even taking Yaha for a walk.
It had been continuously eating large loaves of bread and baguettes, and the two worms lay atop the roof of the hotel in objective reality. Due to their enormous size, the rest of their bodies were sprawled across the rooftops of adjacent apartnt buildings, spanning several streets and stretching for kiloters.
Baphot would call for them, asking them to lower their heads or tails—since it made no difference between the two, Wei Tianyang couldn’t tell the head from the tail—then they would open a window and perch on the windowsill to eat.
Right now, as Wei Tianyang was looking at the news on his laptop, the beast was lying on its side on the carpet, its belly round from eating, blissfully napping in the air conditioning. In its dreams, its ears occasionally flickered, its tail occasionally swished back and forth, and its four hooves would sotis kick about in the air.
Yaha was right beside it, clutching its horn and stroking its belly, constantly shaking it.
But Baphot paid no attention at all, simply lying there, minding its own nap.
Yaha could only run over to Wei Tianyang, grabbing his arm and shaking it anxiously, saying, "Big black black! Big black black is going to die!!"
Wei Tianyang looked up, his gaze moving past the laptop screen to look at the beast, saying, "If it dies, we’re having roast lamb tonight."
At that mont, Baphot lifted its head and sent a ssage, "Add plenty of cumin."
"You haven’t taken her for a walk in days," Wei Tianyang said.
Baphot lay down again and replied, "I, well, I’ve been contemplating the blueprint of the future. The long-horned kind."
"You? What blueprint are you contemplating?" Wei Tianyang said.
"You’re on the path to becoming a king! Baphot, I am basking in the king’s glow because of you! Those two worms are there for to nibble at will. You know, that was sothing I never even dared dream of before," Baphot said.
Although it conveyed this information through transmitted ssages, the emotion could still be felt by Wei Tianyang.
It was basking in happiness.
"It’s so rare, these kind of days, so carefree, so happy. Even though I’ve lost my power, I am happier than before. Why is that, you think? I pondered and pondered and finally found the reason," Baphot said.
"Oh? Let’s hear it," Wei Tianyang said with a smile.
"Going solo is aningless. To achieve greatness and draw others to your cause, forming a power and continually expanding it is the way to go. Even not being the main character doesn’t matter anymore," Baphot said.
"Damn it, you’re living too comfortably. You weren’t like this before," Wei Tianyang said.
"I haven’t really changed. I still aspire to leave my mark in the grand narrative, but I’ve changed my role. Staying by your side like this is nice. It doesn’t matter that I’ve lost my abilities. Micken and Deliba told that many residents know about a very powerful character in this Chapter, but most of them don’t know how formidable you really are, struggling to decide if they should join you. They took the risk to co here, so you should treat them well," Baphot said.
"I only need brave companions, not opportunists looking to reap the benefits," Wei Tianyang said.
"Of course I understand that. Let’s not talk about this anymore. For you, it’s ti to co up with a new na for yourself; you’re about to beco a god! A god’s na can’t be too common. The na has to let all other residents know, once you have complete control over Earth, we can challenge the stars and break through the blockades of this Chapter," Baphot said.
"It’s premature, premature... Besides, I think my na is just fine as it is," Wei Tianyang said.
Baphot changed from lying on his side to a kneeling position, shook his head and body, and called out twice toward the ceiling with his mouth open.
"Hey! Big Black is alive!" Yaha laughed and imdiately rushed over to ride on its back.
"Longhorn, there’s sothing I’ve never told you before because I thought you were just soone who happened to seize power, without true rit. But now, you just might have a chance," Baphot said.
"What is it?" Wei Tianyang said.
"The grand narrative bestows a na upon each character that completely changes the content of the Chapter. Such characters are called Nars. These figures are extrely important," Baphot said.
"Nars? What, if I beco a Nar, I won’t be called Wei Tianyang anymore?" he said.
"No, it’s not that. The ’na’ a Nar gets is a mark made by the grand narrative for the character, a summary of their achievents. This na is visible to all residents, and after being nad, your power will also change, becoming stronger than now. Of course, you can choose not to display this naming, but correspondingly, the power that cos with the na will not manifest," Baphot said.
"Oh... Sounds like a title. What’s your Nar?" Wei Tianyang said.
"Like I said, only incredibly important characters get nad. ? I don’t have one. Neither does Lilith. Deliba and Micken don’t have any either. I’ve only seen such figures a few tis from afar, never daring to get close," Baphot said.
Wei Tianyang smiled and shook his head.
"Longhorn, if you beco a Nar, then I’ll be the subordinate of a Nar~ When we defeat the stars and enter other Chapters, we can be worshipped just like those great characters I saw in the past. Who knows... Longhorn, you could not only beco an important character, but you might also rewrite the grand narrative in the future... Bahhhhh~~~" Baphot said.
"You’re thinking too far ahead. I don’t understand that stuff; I just want to solve the problems on Earth," Wei Tianyang said.
"You’ll solve them soon enough. Your violence is way beyond the level here; it’s just that you’re unwilling to use it. If you wish, it will be over quickly," Baphot said.
"Maybe..." Wei Tianyang said.
"There are still so things holding you back, Longhorn... Don’t waste any more ti," Baphot said.
