Chapter 427 Reserved

Ningxin Garden.

Li Nuo looked up at the sky, speechless for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally lowered his head and looked around.

King Rui was right. With this power, one can indeed see things that ordinary people cannot see.

After a moment, the power belonging to King Rui returned to his body.

King Rui looked at him and asked, “What did you hear?”

Li Nuo shook his head slightly and said, “You don’t want to know.”

King Rui sighed softly and said, “I understand…”

He looked at Li Nuo again and asked, “Why are you different from us?”

Li Nuo said: “Maybe because I’m the protagonist?”

King Rui smiled and said, “You know you are not.”

Li Nuo also smiled and said, “It’s indeed not.”

Yiren, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, jumped out and asked in confusion, “What do you mean by knowing the difference? What is the protagonist? Who is the protagonist?”

Li Nuo and Prince Rui did not speak, but at the same time glanced sideways at a refined figure who was playing chess with someone in the pavilion.

Then, Li Nuo stretched out his hands, held Yiren’s face, and said, “It’s nothing, he has become stupid from studying too much, ignore him.”

Yiren was pestered by Li Nian and Li Zhi, so she had to go and play with them. Prince Rui looked at Li Nuo and continued, “The Dali Temple Minister, including all of us, is the same, except you. You are more special than him. Your story is created by yourself. Perhaps, you can create more differences…”

In the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, a game has ended.

Prince Chun looked at the handsome young man and his expression changed slightly.

This was the first time in all these years that he had seen someone who could draw with Xuan Jing.

The young man stood up and said to Li Xuanjing with a smile: “I didn’t lose, and you didn’t win either. Let’s wait and see what happens next…”

After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.

When he passed by Li Nuo and King Rui, he paused for a moment, looked at King Rui, and said, “I remember that your ability is somewhat similar to that of the calligraphers, but it also seems a little different. Could it be that you are a branch of the calligraphers? I admit that the calligraphers are indeed powerful, but in the end, they have become crazy, just like the Yin-Yang masters, saying that our world is just a story written by others. Haha, it’s outrageous…”

He said this mockingly, then changed the subject, with an inexplicable confidence on his face, and said: “However, if this world is really a book, I am definitely the protagonist…”

King Rui no longer looked at him with pitiful eyes, but just smiled and said, “As long as you are happy.”

Li Nuo couldn’t bear to burst the fantasy of this most powerful man in the world.

If he knew that the person who created him, with his saintly cultivation that dominated the continent, was just a third-rate author, his performance might not be much better than those of the Yin-Yang School.

Speaking of which, those Yin-Yang masters who went insane and died after breaking through to the Saint realm were probably because they saw the truth of this world.

For these top powerful people of the time, such a result is indeed hard to accept.

Just now, Li Nuo saw a lot by borrowing King Rui’s ability.

Through reading, he took a different approach and created a completely new path. King Rui called him a “dulejia”, or a reader.

This ability allows him to see everyone’s life experience, and when he uses this ability, he will transcend this world and be in a state of bystander.

This is also the reason why Prince Gong and the sage of diplomacy could not touch his body.

However, as an observer, he could only see it all but could not make any changes.

Changing the story is the ability of a calligrapher.

The protagonist of this novel, “The Mirror of Daxia”, is not Li Nuo, but Li Xuanjing. He was the top scholar in six subjects at the age of 18. He and his fellow students failed in the reform. He carried everyone’s dreams alone, endured humiliation for 20 years, and finally overthrew the monarchy and realized the highest ideal of Confucianism, the great harmony of the world…

No wonder Li Nuo has been living under his father’s shadow in recent years.

Even if there was nothing he did, his father could have done it all on his own.

Who can rival the protagonist’s aura?
As Li Xuanjing’s son, Li Nuo is just a supporting role.

But in addition to being the protagonist’s son, Li Nuo is also a time traveler. His soul came from another world.

However, the book “The Mirror of Daxia” is not a time-travel novel.

The world where the voice from outer space came from was not the world that Li Nuo traveled to.

In other words, in addition to the world in the book where he lives, there is another world outside the world where the author of the book lives. Li Nuo himself is not controlled by that third-rate author.

Perhaps, even the third-rate author himself is not aware of this.

The answer may lie in this “Book of Heaven”.

Prince Rui has already left, but his portrait appears in the “Book of Heaven”, alongside that of the Dao family.

Li Nuo’s previous guess was correct. The Code copied the skills of the prisoners and obtained their lifespans. It was indeed a means of thieves. After the Code was upgraded to a heavenly book, there was no need to go to great lengths to put people in jail.

There is a portrait on the heavenly book, which is the saint who steals the house.

Judging from the time, that should be the Dao family that the author has not weakened yet. The last leader of the Dao family, Yan Wuhen, also did not catch up with the good times of the Dao family.

As soon as Li Nuo had a thought, the portrait of King Rui lit up.

He lacked the key to understand the heavenly book.

The power of reading is the key.

Li Nuo looked at these portraits, and pieces of complicated text information began to appear before his eyes.

After a long time, Li Nuo withdrew his gaze.

Although these first-generation saints of each family are powerful, they are just background materials in the protagonist’s story.

Their role was to work together to create the “Confucian Classics”. Thousands of years later, the protagonist Li Xuanjing failed in his reform and was thrown into death row. He accidentally discovered that the book on the corner of the bed in the death row was the “Confucian Classics”. He obtained the inheritance of the Confucian saint, thus starting his magnificent life…

Wait, Li Nuo thought that his father, like him, had won the first place in the six subjects in the imperial examinations because of his Confucian classics. Unexpectedly, he relied on his own strength…

As expected of the protagonist…

In general, this story follows the common adventure routine, which shows that the author who was scolded and changed his career is of average ability and cannot write anything better. It is not unfair for him to be called a third-rate author.

When a novel is created, the author can only control limited plots and characters. Those characters who are not mainly described or mentioned in passing also have their own naturally evolving lives.

What this third-rate author had not expected was that the saints, who were merely the background, had reached a level at that time where they were able to see the truth of the world.

When they were creating the “Confucian Classics”, they also kept a trick up their sleeve.

The saints worked together to send the “Code” created together with the “Confucian Classics” out of the world in the book. Li Nuo didn’t know how the “Code” came to his world, but by chance, it brought back his soul who was studying law…

The legend of Li Xuanjing has ended, and that third-rate author has been scolded so much that he has changed his career to become a carpenter.

However, the world in the book is still functioning normally.

This third-rate author had a lot of personal opinions when he was conceiving and setting the book. The biggest one was that, since he was the author, he set the strongest power in the book to be the calligrapher, and the characters he created, even if they were calligraphers, could not break the shackles of fate.

Perhaps the saints realized this, so they held back.

Li Nuo’s soul does not belong to this world and is not bound by these shackles. When he stands at the pinnacle of calligraphy, can he not replace those third-rate authors?
[ps: Let me explain, I’m not being malicious, the original setting was to break the fourth wall, the foreshadowing was laid very, very early on, when the Yin-Yang family first appeared in the book, and the foreshadowing was deepened countless times in the middle. I really can’t believe that I didn’t see a single foreshadowing until the end. I’ll complain about the other things for you, the book is very complete in terms of plot structure, and the outline has not changed from beginning to end…]
