Chapter 2721. A Very Disappointing Item
“Star Gauge Mirror is shining a light on the past. It can rewind time to reveal what occurred in days long gone.” Empty God spoke in a mysterious voice, once again filled with confidence.
The Star Gauge Mirror wasn’t useful for him, but its power was excellent nonetheless. It could rewind time, and that power alone made it exceedingly overpowered.
However, Empty God and the many gods like him were always… economical with the truth. The power of the Star Gauge Mirror wasn’t a lie, but there were limitations to what it could present. Normal people couldn’t use the mirror on a whim as Empty God could.
Of course, Empty God wasn’t going to mention that to Bao’er. He would only let Bao’er see how amazing the Star Gauge Mirror was in his own hands.
Empty God studied Bao’er’s face as he showed off the mirror, hoping that she might exhibit some surprise. Bao’er’s eyes did widen as she watched the image playing across the Star Gauge Mirror, but after watching it for a while, she was confused. She said, “Uncle, this power—in my home—can be achieved through something called a camcorder. We have many items that can showcase the past, like datapads and phones. There are also holograms and other similar gadgets. If you like them that much, then when we head into civilization, I will ask my father to get you the best camcorder money can buy. It will be much prettier than this one. The picture will be much clearer, too. Think of it as a gift for giving me this gem.”
Bao’er looked at him as if she was looking at someone who was very out-of-touch with the modern world. Empty God felt a muscle in his cheek twitch.
He wanted nothing more than to murder Bao’er right there, but he held in his rage. Empty God was being very slow and patient. “This isn’t a camcorder. You can rewind time. It can show you anything that happened in the past.”
“Is there a difference?” Bao’er tilted her head, looking confused.
Empty God opened his mouth to explain, but then he realized that it might be too hard of a concept for a child to understand. Time travel was a complicated subject, and explaining the difference between that and using a camcorder to record past events might be too difficult.
