Chapter 701 7: Bai Ze Map·Creator Version
Divine Treasure Vault.
"Is it Wangshu?"
Li Hao gazed at the scene in the Vast Heaven Mirror where He Bo was saved, a hint of curiosity in his brow.
——Chu Ci: Li Sao.
——In front, Wangshu leads the path, and behind, Fei Lian follows swiftly.
——Wangshu, the charioteer of the moon.
Simply put, Wangshu is not just an ordinary name, but the Moon God in Huaxia Mythology System.
Compared to the now well-known Chang'e, Wangshu is superior in both timeline and rank.
In various myths and legends, alongside Wangshu appear two goddesses, Chang Xi and Xi He.
The former is also a goddess who governs the moon, while the latter governs the sun.
"Is it merely coincidence?"
Though Li Hao knows, "Wangshu" is most likely just a pseudonym.
But there's a certain unaccountable connection between the owner of this pseudonym and He Bo.
Although their conversation was brief, Li Hao sensed a subtle affection.
These two are definitely not simple friends; they must have had a past, and possibly a romantic relationship.
Considering He Bo's age, if they indeed were lovers in the past, their children might be as old as Luo God.
"Things are getting more interesting now..."
With a snap of his fingers, the Bai Ze Map appeared out of thin air in Li Hao's hand.
As soon as the Bai Ze Map emerged, the entire Divine Treasure Vault suddenly trembled.
Buzz... Buzz... Buzz...
As the Supreme Divine Artifact integrating past, present, and future concepts of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Every artifact that has appeared in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Divine Treasure Vault naturally breeds its prototype—Bai Ze Map is no exception.
But when the true Bai Ze Map emerged in the Divine Treasure Vault, its concepts swiftly consolidated.
It no longer needed any carrier; Bai Ze Map itself was the carrier of those concepts.
Moreover, when those concepts flowed into the Bai Ze Map, the content of the original Bai Ze Map rapidly expanded and increased.
Besides the ancient Mountain and Sea Realm, the current tribes and species of the Mountain and Sea Realm were quickly included in Bai Ze Map.
Immortal, Netherworld Race, Skeletons, Merfolk, Winged Men...
New-generation gods, Netherworld Celestial Monarch, Epic Individuals...
Ascension Ladder, Cultivation Secret Technique, Civilization Creation...
In a very short period, the length of Bai Ze Map's scroll doubled.
The most critical thing is, when Li Hao opted to utilize Bai Ze Map, a series of ghosts and spirits documented jumped out from the scroll.
"Is this even possible?"
With a strange expression, Li Hao glanced around, surprisingly finding those ghosts and spirits possessing clear consciousness.
If it were merely for recording data, Celestial Tao System would be more practical than Bai Ze Map...
If it were simply to animate spirit monsters, Li Hao as the Creator could achieve it himself...
However, Bai Ze Map converged the strengths and weaknesses of both, holding its unique advantage in more specialized fields.
For instance, the current Bai Ze Map can autonomously manifest the recorded ghosts and spirits, even divine artifacts, without external aid.
This trait is evidently more convenient and applicable compared to Celestial Tao System.
At least, in battles below the Creator level.
The deterrence brought forth by directly yielding Bai Ze Map is undoubtedly more effective than manipulating Celestial Tao System's invisible interference.
Similarly, Li Hao, being the Creator, naturally possesses the ability of creation.
Even ordinary daily items could be animated into "Charms" capable of moving independently by him.
Yet, unless Li Hao invests immense effort or often uses certain items, generally animated spirit monsters seem a bit lacking in intelligence.
However, the depicted ghosts and spirits in Bai Ze Map differs.
When in the scroll, those ghosts and spirits are merely part of the painting.
Once they leap from the scroll, they become complete individuals with wisdom and awareness.
"This is practically another form of Creator's authority..."
Out of nowhere, Li Hao retrieved a brush, casually sketching a nonsensical creature on Bai Ze Map.
Soon, the nonsensical creature leaped from the scroll, frolicking around Li Hao alongside other ghosts and spirits.
At this point, Li Hao was already certain.
This was Bai Ze's custom-made "Creator's authority."
Putting aside the extra abilities, Bai Ze Map itself is a world within a painting.
A holder like Li Hao can nearly make any changes to this world according to his wishes.
"To obtain complete Creator's authority in such a manner, Bai Ze is indeed a genius who treads an unconventional path!"
With interest, Li Hao continued depicting mountains and rivers in the scroll, feeling a creation sensation different yet distinct from the Mountain and Sea Realm.
"Perhaps, before the Candle Dragon, Bai Ze was the true Creator."
"But Bai Ze chose not to inherit the Mountain and Sea Realm, instead crafting another world."
Li Hao offered no comment on Bai Ze's choice.
After all, Li Hao merely obtained Bai Ze Map, not the world created by Bai Ze.
The world within Bai Ze Map, versus the world meticulously crafted by Bai Ze...
The difference is akin to a beta version of a game and the officially released game, incomparable on the same day.
"Now thinking about it, the world where Jiuge Deity System resides is probably the world Bai Ze created."
With such judgment in mind, Li Hao paused his drawing.
"So, does Bai Ze count as perishing alongside his created world?"
Accompanied by Li Hao's soft whisper, the scene within Bai Ze Map swiftly changed.
Ancient Mountain and Sea Realm's mountain spirits and ghosts rapidly vanished, replaced by the Jiuge Deity System's gods in Civilization Information Library.
"The world is already destroyed, yet Jiuge Gods survived in such a manner."
No more clues or intel were needed; Li Hao could practically conjure up everything that ever happened in the Jiuge World.
Due to some unknown crisis, the world created by Bai Ze eventually was destroyed.
Yet Bai Ze made the same choice as most creators, at life's final moment protected the Jiuge Gods, preventing them from falling with him.
