The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 107

“Humans, to certain beings, hold the same value as roadside weeds. The power levels we struggle so desperately to reach are, in essence, merely the bottom tier of another hierarchy.”

As Su Li said this, his body trembled almost uncontrollably.

Although these so-called power levels had little to do with him, as always.

“…What does that mean?” Egbert frowned.

“It means that ‘gods’ truly exist.”

“However, these gods aren’t like the legendary beings passed down through human folklore.”

“On the contrary, as I suspected, they’re simply intelligent beings who live longer and possess greater power.”

Su Li took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.

“One hundred percent element affinity, in the terms used by the powerful, essentially means growing stronger just by breathing.”

“And the reason element affinity can be calculated as a numerical value isn’t actually about a person’s relationship with elements. The true meaning of element affinity is the proportion of elements a person can absorb.”

“The element content in the air has always been one hundred percent.”

“That’s impossible.” The interruption came from Mavis, who had pulled back the curtains.

Su Li was momentarily startled when he turned to see where Mavis was standing.

Mavis continued, “The element content in the air cannot possibly be one hundred percent. Otherwise, there’s no way to explain why volcanic regions are more convenient for fire elementalists, while lakes and rivers are more beneficial for water elements.”

“No, these two concepts are related but not completely equivalent.” Su Li shook his head. “Element affinity refers to the proportion of elements a person can absorb from the air. Different elemental affinities represent which attribute a person is more inclined toward. For example, a light elementalist naturally finds light elements more compatible when utilizing the elemental power within their body.”

“And element affinity isn’t simply a concept divided horizontally or vertically—it exists in both dimensions.”

It’s like air—air is a broad concept, but the different gases distributed within it are numerous.

“Moreover,” Su Li looked at Mavis who had walked to the side of the table, “what’s important isn’t the meaning element affinity represents, but what one hundred percent element affinity signifies.”

“What can it signify?” Mavis asked, puzzled.

“One hundred percent is equivalent to all elemental factors being absorbable and convertible—in other words, growing stronger just by breathing.”

“I think you all know this concept. But what I really want to say isn’t about what element affinity entails, but rather that there exists a group of intelligent beings in this world whose minimum level is one hundred percent element affinity.”

“And the Pope has confirmed that these beings are the monster beasts.”

Mavis was stunned.

“But that man only admitted that the power classification we use originated from monster beasts.”

“That’s enough.” Su Li told Mavis.

“In ‘The Birth of Elements,’ a book I’ve criticized many times for being incomprehensible, it clearly states that elements were initially bestowed by gods.”

“Wandering poets in taverns, when discussing legends related to gods, have also praised how everything developed today stems from the gods.”

“Furthermore, I believe the royal bloodline of Amikbi inherently contains monster beast blood.”

“What should humans look like? Personally, I think they should be like me.” Su Li voluntarily extended his palm.

Ignoring the crescent marks his fingertips had pressed into his palm, the three lines on his palm were particularly distinct.

“Humans, originally, perhaps had zero element affinity.”

Why say this?

Because of lifespan, and also because of development.

When physical strength is enhanced to a certain degree, the body undergoes many changes. Muscle density, bones, cells, internal organs, metabolism—all these are intimately connected.

Conversely, everything enhanced by elements should undergo corresponding changes with this enhancement.

The simplest explanation is: could Tyson and Lin Daiyu be of the same specification?

Surfaces made of natural rock slabs, untouched by elemental enhancement, can be shattered by elementalists with a single kick, even without using elemental power.

If we calculate strength in tons, people possessing such strength who want to maintain a normal human physique while using this power would necessarily need to employ elemental power.

And if they can achieve this without using elemental power, their physique would definitely change accordingly.

But in reality, the people of this world compared to before Su Li’s transmigration haven’t changed much at all.

So the question arises: what has broken the normal conservation of mass?

Su Li could only associate this with the non-humans already existing in this world.

That is, the monster beasts.

After all, Su Li hadn’t seen people from other worlds who could change size.

Even if one reached Egbert’s level, to make him smaller would require breaking all his bones and forcibly reshaping him… though at that point, Egbert would be no different from a dead person.

Conversely, why can the Raven, who is only one level stronger than Egbert, defy conservation of mass, change size at will, and even transform?

And level three monster beasts can already change size.

This might be the source of this anomaly.

Su Li voiced his speculation. “I believe humans in this world are intelligent beings that emerged slowly through natural development. But before this, other intelligent beings already existed in the world.”

Prehistoric creatures—the animals on Earth before humans.

What if, in this other world, animals—that is, monster beasts—had developed intelligence, even inheritance, or even civilization before humans appeared?

What would the later-arriving humans mean to monster beasts that already possessed intelligence?

Nothing at all.

When people see clever cats, they might say, let’s enroll them in a study program.

But in reality, even if someone really did something so bored and idle, it would be an exception among exceptions.

And who would believe that a cat’s intelligence could match the intellectual ceiling of humanity’s genius figures?

A vision-like scene appeared before Su Li’s eyes.

–These new ones seem somewhat similar to us.

–But they’re too weak.

–Nothing particularly worth noting.

–Just fence off some land for them and see how far they can develop.

–But they’re so weak, they die too easily.

–So what should we do?

–Fusion.

–Fusion, fusion, fusion, fusion…

And then, the disregarded life forms took root, and civilization began to sprout.

Su Li brought out all his thoughts and shared them.

Without concealment, without stinginess.

Although Mavis crushed the corner of the table, and Egbert’s eye sockets were filled with bloodshot veins.

But he still had to speak.

Because…

“Humans, in this world, have completely become ‘pets’ of the ‘gods’.”

Su Li smiled bitterly. “I thought the most disgusting thing would just be the opposition between human rights and divine rights, the indifference of like-kind toward each other, mutual killing, schemes and plots…”

“But in fact, there exists something I simply cannot accept.”

If the current self who suddenly transmigrated to this world were to learn all this information without personally exploring, Su Li couldn’t be certain whether he would still take Egbert’s hand.

Perhaps at that time, he would rather choose to fall into dust.

But now, the truth of this other world, like an onion, was being peeled away layer by layer by his own hands.

What should be done? What can be done? How should it be done?

Su Li said, “I don’t know any of it.”

It was like before his transmigration, when a bizarre client asked him to edit a story unconstrained by any existing game plot.

The resulting issue wasn’t whether he could write it, but that it was fundamentally impossible.

Any individual’s thoughts, in history, in the long river of the past, have surely been equaled by intelligent beings who thought of similar concepts.

Never consider yourself special.

Su Li said hoarsely, “I originally thought about whether to pretend I knew nothing, whether not to tell you. Then, ignoring everything that will happen next in this city, we could return together to Sadina City.”

“Return to that red brick building, return to the ordinary days when Lan Zhe gave me money to study, and made delicious food for me every day.”

Eating rice was truly happy, and when eating other foods made from rice, Su Li would also feel that the gap between himself and this other world wasn’t so deep.

“But it’s not possible…”

It can’t be done.

Just thinking that it wasn’t just one person, but an entire race, all within a cage, Su Li felt as if his heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand.

Unable to breathe.

That’s why Su Li had previously told the Pope that it would be better if the Pope were truly a person who craved longevity and kept stirring up trouble.

But what that man truly wanted was for humans to see another world with their own eyes, rather than being kept in the dark.

Why would Leirela fall in love with a man twice her age? Even willing to die with him?

Su Li suddenly felt that this might have nothing to do with being love-brained, Stockholm syndrome, or simply being brainwashed or manipulated.

Leirela had just seen another possibility—unbelievable, yet anticipated.

She simply chose suicide, giving up on seeing that possibility come to fruition.

One hundred percent element affinity was merely the…

Minimum. Threshold. For. Entering. Another. World.

BOOM——

To everyone’s surprise, Roy kicked open the cabinet door that had confined him.

The man, whose stubble had grown considerably thicker, hunched his back, with an inexplicably roguish expression. He said, “You know, little master, you’ve said so much, but you seem to have been ignoring a key point.”

Roy tossed up the clothes that had originally belonged to the Raven, who instantly transformed into human form and put them on neatly in a flash.

Roy continued, “The so-called key point is—”

“What’s the difference between the world you see and the reasonable world you understand.”

“And, to what extent do you want…humans, to achieve.”

Roy’s tone was somewhat ambiguous when he said the word “humans.”

What he really wanted to say was what Su Li wanted them to achieve.

But this “them” definitely didn’t include the Raven.

So only humans remained.

But what followed wasn’t Su Li’s answer, but Lan Zhe who kicked open Egbert’s door at the same time.

“I originally thought I was the only one secretly hearing secrets, which made me feel a bit embarrassed, but seeing you all here makes me feel much better.”
