“Are you willing to knock off a List of Creations to save Zhou Yuan?” Yan and Zhang Quan both stared at me at the same time, as if they could see through me.

“Ha ha-ha, ha ha-ha ha, ha ha-ha… .” I couldn’t help but laugh loudly. These two lu-natics must be joking. They should have taken some medicine. After laughing for a while, I found that they still stared straight at me, so I lowered my voice. After that, however, they still stared at me without finding that I was laughing at them, thus I had to share my thoughts, “Uhm, what nonsense are you talking about? I don’t even know anything about the List of Creations, so how can I make a knockoff? Further-more, I am a software product manager. Even if I have to make a fake one, I would have to find a hardware engineer to analyze the material and then make one out… ” By the end of my speech, I felt that I was talking nonsense, that my words were get-ting more and more outrageous, and that my voice was getting softer and softer.

“Brother Zhang Quan,” After hearing my response, Yan no longer looked at me but asked, “Do you think he got it or not?”

Zhang Quan didn’t answer. He asked me, “Do you still remember Avalokiteshvara’s words, that where the mana of Immortals and Buddhas come from?”

This question again? Didn’t I just say it? I blurted out, “It is from the power of people’s faith. Not only Avalokitesvara, Long Fei’s mana also originates from the Formless Donations?”

“Then, if the mana of a true spirit originates from the power of people’s faith, what’s the best way to prevent these mana from dissipating?” Zhang Quan continued to ask.

“That’s simple. You just need to let people always remember it and believe in it!”

“Believe in what?” Zhang Quan asked relentlessly.

“The history.” I said without consideration. Suddenly I understood, “You mean, if a cultivator who has mana wants to keep his true spirt and mana intact after he dies, the best way is to let people remember him and believe in him forever, right?”

“Probably.” Zhang Quan laughed, “The scientific term is leaving his name in the his-tory. Li Hong Zhang once wrote a poem saying that who wrote the history for the last ten thousand years and I wanted to be conferred a title by the emperor even if I was three thousand miles away, in order to be the man to write the history. To those of the ancients, being recorded in historical records is more honorable than being conferred a title. ”

That simple? I was so excited that I almost forgot to keep etiquette, “Then what are we waiting for? We need to hurry up.” I pointed to this unknown quasi-deity in the tel-evision, while Liu Shuai tried to stop me but he did not succeed. “We need to write her bibliography so that she could be a god, then she will be able to save Zhou Yuan! ”

“You are too young.” Zhang Quan waved his hand, “The key to leaving one’s name in history is not about the history, but about leaving his name. How could one leave his name if no one ever knows him? Even if you write a book now, will people believe you? How many people would believe that the Internet has become a god? ”

“Then what should we do?” Tonight my mood kept going up and down. I was not used to it.

“Hahaha, just let me, a knock-off expert—” Zhang Quan realized that his secretes were leaked and he blushed, then continued, “A reference expert to think of a way. If there is no way to immediately leave a name in history, you can try something else indirectly. For example, we can make people believe that an object has a certain meaning, culture, or memory. ”

“He has.” Yan panted. “I have been searching through his place.” I was startled and furtively cursed this freak. Yan seemed to know what I was thinking, as he added, “I don’t care about the things in your computer. With my previous abilities, I could watch as much as I want, and all in live version. He doesn’t have anything here but a fa-mous notebook. It is said that many foreign famous people used to use it, such as Picasso, Hemingway, and others. No matter if it is true or false, many people will be-lieve that this notebook was left by famous people.”

“It could barely work.” Zhang Quan nodded. “The next thing is that this quasi-deity must have a concrete idol.”

“I have idols. I like fresh boys the most. What’s the name of him, some kind of Boys?” “Fan Bingbing” in the television could not help but say when she heard that they were discussing her.

“Err …” Zhang Quan scratched his head, “This idol should be a puppet deity statue. It is a concrete object that people used to worship.” Then, Zhang Quan looked at me and Liu Shuai, “When you guys were in the main hall of Dragon King’s Temple, you used the Formless Donations. Those Formless Donations can gather together, pre-cisely because the idol could not move around.

“But the special characteristic of the internet is that it constantly flows.” Liu Shu-ai understood now, and continued with Zhang Quan’s words, “Even if people were to gather some Formless Donations, it will quickly dissipate because of the internet’s mobility.”

“That’s right,” “Fan Bing Bing” nodded in agreement. “Every time I manage to talk to you, I won’t be able to appear again very soon. I must wait for a period to show up again. I feel like I can’t control myself.”

Zhang Quan nodded and looked at Liu Shuai and me, “So if you want to seal the Formless Donations of the Internet into a god, you need to fix these Formless Dona-tions on a fixed item on the Internet. We can temporarily call it Internet virtual idol. After being fixed, the Formless Donations within this virtual idol will not disappear and may even absorb other Formless Donations on the Internet. However, this virtual idol should be the one people always focus on and use. It should not be an Internet product that might disappear in a few days. In this respect, what product do you think will persist on the Internet these days? ”

Zhang Quan looked at Liu Shuai and me, but Liu Shuai did not dare say anything, so he looked at me, “How would I know about it. The internet is changing so fast. Many things that are present today might be gone by tomorrow. Hao Ning, you are the product manager. You are the one who makes the decision.”

Shit! How could he share his role with me now? He always had lots of objections when I asked him to do something that I wanted him to do. I looked at him, “This is what you said. From now on, you are not allowed to ask about what I want you to do. You have to do it.”

Liu Shuai stared at me, wanting to slap himself twice. He gritted his teeth, “The timing is wrong. I may get in troubles with my words. Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

“Hahaha …” I was elated and relieved. After thinking carefully, I took out my phone, “In my opinion, this thing will preserve and grow in size for the foreseeable future.”

Liu Shuai looked at my phone, “Do you mean the WeChat Moments?”

I nodded.

Liu Shuai could not help but nod his head, “That’s reasonable. There are a lot of things in WeChat Moments that people pay attention to, and there are a lot of Likes and enough spirit power, so there should not be any problems in a short term.”

“Good, so the second part is done.” Zhang Quan nodded. Without waiting for Liu Shuai to speak, he continued, “The third and final part, also the most important one, Hao Ning, is to use your talent to grant some abilities of the List of Creations to your notebook, then you will have the power to create a god because you are the creator.”

“My talent?” I thought about it. “It can’t be —”

“Yes, Borrow Me Your Mana.” Yan nodded.

“How could it be possible!” I shook my head. “I used to borrow martial arts but never any mana. Are you crazy? Only the Lord of Heaven or higher rank Immortals have the ability of making List of Creations, how could I borrow his mana? Even if you dare to think about it, I don’t have the gut to do it.”

“We don’t dare to allow you to do it even if you have the gut,” Zhang Quan laughed bitterly, “How could you even have that kind of idea? You even want to borrow the mana of the Lord of Heaven. Why don’t you borrow the mana of the God of heaven to reopen the Primal Chaos, and then create the ground, water, fire and wind? You’ve read too many fantasy novels, haven’t you?

I was speechless after a “reincarnated” great deity Yuan Zhong Zi who had shown up in fantasy novels many times laughed at me for reading fantasy novels.

Zhang Quan continued, “Your method won’t work, but you once used the Stellar Transposition technique to transfer the Formless Donations in the dragon god statue into Liu Shuai’s body. If you were to borrow the ability of Stellar Transposition, then make a switch in Creation of the Gods when Jiang Zi Ya created gods…”

… ….

I had heard of the Stellar Transposition. It is a special martial art of Murong’s Family in Semi-Gods and Semi-Devils, The specialty of the technique was that it could transfer other people’s martial arts back to the user or to other place through the Light Fingers. Zhang Quan was truly smart to think of using Stellar Transposition to transfer the power of List of Creations to other place.

Liu Shuai and I looked at each other. We always referred ourselves as smart people in this era, but when facing this awesome man working in Fu Tu Kang, we couldn’t help but admire him from the bottom of our hearts. How could he even think of such a way? I couldn’t help but say with a face full of respect, “You truly deserve to be called the master of knockoff, no, the master of reference. I am not able to think of such a solution anyway…”

Zhang Quan laughed and rubbed his lips as he said with an excited expression, “I had such an idea for a long time, but I just could not find such a solution. What knockoff? Did Avalokiteshvara tell you about it? It is called being good at referring other items. That’s the method in this world. Do you call anyone who use it as plagia-rism? I don’t think so. If you use it without any modifications, then of course it would be plagiarism, but if you use some kind of combinations to generate new effects or species, then it should not be considered plagiarism?”

“Yes, you’re right!” At this time, I had already completely admired him, but Yan said, “After you make her a god, remember to break the pill that Avalokitesvara gave you, then borrow the method used by Taiyi Real Man to revive Nezha. Use water from the willow branch as the bone and the willow leaf as the skin to make a body for this new god, then she will appear in the world formally.”

“Huh?” I was a bit curious. Would the Creating A God Ceremony end in just a while? I spoke out my doubt.

“Let me guess,” The quasi-deity in the television spoke. When she heard that she could become a god, her voice also sounded excited, “Could it be that this newly created List of Creations isn’t strong enough to protect my true spirit for a long time?”

“You are smart.” Zhang Quan praised as he watched the television. I didn’t know if he was looking at the quasi-deity or Li Xiao Hua. “The List of Creations is only tem-porary. The true spirit of a new god must rely on an entity in real world for him or her to become a true god.”

“But …” I still didn’t quite understand. “What does this have to do with saving Zhou Yuan? I don’t want to become some kind of person who creates gods. If I can’t save Zhou Yuan, I won’t do such a complicated thing. ”

This time, it was Zhang Quan and Yan’s turn to be stunned. Zhang Quan seemed to be blaming me, and Yan immediately explained, “This junior has a unique character. If he don’t understand it logically, he won’t make a move. You’d better explain it to him clearly.”

Zhang Quan then smiled and explained, “The power of creating gods is a life-death force in the world. If one were to say that the willow branches of Ava-lokiteshvara have the power of reviving the dead and growing meat on bones, then the power of creating gods would be able to protect or even restore the soul and body. Using a word in a fantasy novel, one would live even if the heavens and earth were destroyed; one would preserve even if the sun and moon perish. And,” Zhang Quan looked at Liu Shuai with some kind of empathy, “If you can absorb a little bit of remaining power, you can recover your mana and that ability.”

Hearing that, Liu Shuai became spirited. He did not think that there would be such a benefit.

I understand now. It was so complicated. I touched my forehead and mumbled softly, while Zhang Quan heard me and asked, “What did you say?”

My face reddened. Everyone was looking at me, so I thought for a bit before saying, “You’re so capable. Why don’t you create gods yourself? Isn’t this the same as Avalokiteshvara not wanting to subdue Hong Hai’er and forcing me to do so? ”

“Hahaha, so that’s how it is.” Zhang Quan and Yan looked at each other and laughed, “It’s not that I don’t want to go; it’s just that I can’t. It’s good that you can ask this question. You can make it if you have doubts. Let me ask you, why Jiang Zi Ya was the one who created gods in Creation of the Gods? ”

“Eh?” I had never thought of this question before, “Because of his mana? No, Jiang Zi Ya’s mana was not high. Cultivation experience? That’s not right either. The Lord of Heaven said that Jiang Zi Ya’s cultivation was limited and could not become an immortal. He could only enjoy the wealth of the mortal world. That’s right, why did they choose a mortal to create gods? ”

I looked at Zhang Quan, and Liu Shuai also looked at Zhang Quan. Obviously, he did not understand why too.

Zhang Quan smiled and said, “That’s because Mr. Xu Zhonglin hided the biggest se-cret of the mortal world here, that only mortals can create gods!”

“Only mortals can create gods?!” Liu Shuai and I shouted at the same time.

“Do you know the difference between Chinese and foreign myths?” Zhang Quan’s eyes sparkled as he looked at me, “Look at the legends, although it’s the same flood, the west can only create Noah’s Ark to hide, but in China, the Great King Yu can govern the water and protect the peace and prosperity of all the people. Use of fire is another example. In the west, the god who stole a spark to give it to mortals would even be punished, But Sui Ren in China can make fires and defend against beasts. Both the west and the east have man-making myths. In the west, Jehovah did not give people a fruit in case people have wisdom, but in China, Fu Xi and other kings taught wisdom to the people and helped them live well. Who said that China has no gods? Of course we have gods, but the people on this land believed more in man’s determination to triumph over the heavens. What Mr. Xu wrote in his Creation of the Gods was his belief: the gods have all kinds of mana, but the gods can only be cre-ated by mortals. The first of all scriptures said clearly: people must constantly im-prove themselves, not that gods used their mana to create chaos in this world! Do you understand? ”

These words came from the mouth of a legendary ‘God’. I couldn’t help but feel my blood surge as I resolutely looked at the expressionless Zhou Yuan:

“Bro, we’re here to save you!”
