Chapter 2721: 2721
“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 .
“It is fine if you’re not interested in this power . Star Gauge Mirror has a stronger ability . ” Empty God was having trouble reasoning with this child, so he went for a more exciting aspect of Star Gauge Mirror to win her over .
Empty God spun the compass-like dial on the back of the Star Gauge Mirror, and the item began to shine with a wavering light .
Moments later, the mirror was displaying a different image . The Star Tree stood in the center of the picture again, but there were no Star Beetles and neither was there Han Sen .
In the video, there was a man who had a human body and a lion head . He was picking Star Fruit .
But this time, the video was very short . The man picked fruit for a few seconds, and then the video vanished .
“What was that all about?” Bao’er asked with confusion .
After striking a pose that was both mystical and aloof, Empty God answered, “This is the true power of the Star Gauge Mirror . It reveals the future . The footage you have just seen is something that will happen in the near future . There will be a creature like the one you saw coming to collect Star Fruit soon . Everything you see in this mirror is the truth . It will come to pass . ”
“Uncle, are you a movie director?” Bao’er looked at Empty God . She blinked, looking curious .
A muscle in Empty God’s cheek spasmed . He suppressed his urge to kill the d*mn kid, and answered her, “Director? I didn’t hire people to film this . I don’t know who this creature is . This is the Star Gauge Mirror showing you what will happen in the future . ”
“Ah, it can see the future? Its power is that magical?” Bao’er finally looked surprised . She stared at the Star Gauge Mirror in wide-eyed disbelief .

Seeing Bao’er’s face, Empty God finally felt a bit better . He laughed and said, “This is one of the best true god items in existence . There is no other like it in the whole universe . Just say you want it, and I can give it to you . ”
“Really, Uncle? You are such a good man . ” Bao’er looked at Empty God with surprise .
“You want it?” Empty God extended the Star Gauge Mirror, holding it out in front of Bao’er . But this time, he reassured himself that he wouldn’t let her touch the mirror before she made a wish, just in case something embarrassing happened .
Bao’er opened her mouth . Judging from the expression on her face, it definitely seemed that she was about to express her desire for the mirror . This filled Empty God with joy . If Bao’er spoke the three words “I want it,” then she would be making a wish to him .
Then, he would gain control of her . And in regards to the Star Gauge Mirror, he would no longer have to give it to her . There were many explanations for making someone’s wish come true, and Empty God already had several different excuses ready for use .
But after Bao’er opened her little mouth, she didn’t say anything . She seemed to suddenly think of something, and she shut her mouth quickly .
“What is it?” Empty God demanded, his heart sinking . Being forced to wait like this was like having an itch that he couldn’t scratch .
Bao’er’s face looked a little excited . She thought of something good and almost burst out laughing . Empty God looked at Bao’er with confusion . He did not know what was so funny about this situation . It made him feel as if something was going on that he was completely oblivious to .
“Uncle, this mirror can predict the future . Isn’t that right?” Bao’er asked, gripping her hands excitedly into fists .

“Yeah,” Empty God said with a nod .
“In that case, it can predict the lottery numbers of the next universal lottery, right? It can win me prizes . ” Bao’er looked at Empty God with excitement .
Many races had lotteries, so Empty God was familiar with the concept . The most famous of those universal lotteries was operated by the Thousand Treasures .
The lottery tickets were cheap, but if someone won the top prize, they would earn billions of Thousand Treasures’ coins .
How much money was a billion of those coins? It would be enough to purchase a low-level deified treasure straight from the Thousand Treasures .
Right now, the universal lottery’s price had gone up to a billion . Whoever won the prize could get all that money without paying any taxes .
Throughout the years, many creatures had made wishes to Empty God concerning the universal lottery, and Empty God had various ways of getting them the jackpot . However, Star Gauge Mirror didn’t have this function . The Star Gauge Mirror could only predict things that would happen in the specific location that it was used . In addition, the snippets of the future that it revealed were random . The user couldn’t choose how far into the future they wanted to look .
Empty God had no way of adding a power like this to the Star Gauge Mirror, so he was rendered speechless .
“Uncle, have you never heard of the Big Universe lottery? It is a small card with numbers on it . If you win the prize, you can buy lots and lots and lots of food and clothes . ” Bao’er thought Empty God might not know about the universal lottery, so she tried to explain how it worked .

“Star Gauge Mirror is a true god item . It has too much dignity to be used on something so lame,” Empty God said .
“You can’t do it?” Bao’er looked disappointed . Then, she thought of something and asked, “Can it predict what will happen after book seven of Overbearing President Love Luv Looove? Can I see that before it comes out?”
“What the hell is that?” Empty God seemed entirely befuddled .
“It is the work of a very famous comic author . He has a comic that is so good, but the author writes so slowly . There have only been seven books . I want to see what happens next . Can Star Gauge Mirror predict it?” Bao’er looked at Empty God hopefully .
“This…” Empty God’s head was full of black lines . Star Gauge Mirror couldn’t do this . Even if the mirror could reveal the author working on his next comic, it wouldn’t show much . Even in a best-case scenario, Bao’er would get only a glance at the work .
