Li Wei translated the contents of the stone tablet piece by piece.
The text was obscure, and Li Wei could not understand some parts of it.
But it didn't matter.
Inferring meaning from context is a skill every student who has gone through the college entrance examination should possess.
Coincidentally, Li Wei still retained this ability.
Especially the content described on this stone tablet, Li Wei actually knew a little about it.
"I'll type out the entire article, please wait for me."
Li Wei went to get his laptop and began translating from the stone tablet.
As Li Wei gradually translated, Cynthia also cross-referenced the content with her own translation.
The content of this stone tablet roughly described the birth of the Pokémon world and Arceus itself.
This stone tablet also had a name—the "Creation Myth Scroll."
It recorded the birth of the material world.
This was a record about the ancient Sinnoh region.
"In the void, a huge and important cosmic egg was born, from which the first god (Supreme God) Arceus emerged, and then Arceus created the world."
"...Created by Arceus, referred to as the Sinnoh Great Venerable."
The text on the stone tablet here became blurry and indistinguishable, and Li Wei could do nothing about it.
"In ancient times, two venerables coexisted... each going their own way..."
Watching Li Wei, it was as if he was copying a textbook, his fingers rapidly tapping on the keyboard.
Cynthia was surprised; she found that she truly understood Li Wei less and less.
If Li Wei was just typing randomly, then so be it.
But Cynthia knew...
He wasn't typing randomly!
Cynthia had painstakingly translated a small portion using the only ancient text dictionary available.
It was similar to Li Wei's content.
But in layman's terms,
Cynthia's translation was not as good as Li Wei's.
Li Wei could translate it into easily understandable language using his own words, while Cynthia could not.
Even though she was surprised, Cynthia didn't speak, just quietly watched Li Wei's fingers move rapidly across the keyboard.
Li Wei didn't notice Cynthia watching him because his attention was entirely on the screen.
Then it came to the part introducing Arceus,
This section's introduction made Arceus incredibly imposing: "It watches over Pokemon and humans in all universes."
The meaning of this sentence is very simple.
The Arceus that appeared in the Pokémon world was merely a clone existing in Pokemon form.
This single sentence directly elevated Arceus to the dimension of the multiverse.
While the Radiant One, Ultra Necrozma, and Eternatus are powerful, they cannot compare to Arceus.
Without Li Wei's knowledge,
Black Rayquaza had challenged Arceus's clone in the Pokémon world three times, but all ended in defeat.
Currently, Black Rayquaza resides in the ozone layer above the Sinnoh region, protecting the Pokémon world and awaiting its next battle with Arceus.
Dialga and Palkia are Arceus's two assistants; their original forms, from which they were born, bear an extremely high resemblance to Arceus.
Speaking of original forms, one cannot help but mention Giratina, who also possesses an original form.
However, over the long river of time, the forms of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina have changed.
When Cynthia saw Li Wei type out this sentence, her expression involuntarily became serious.
In reality, Li Wei knew far more than what was on the stone tablet; this only recorded the material world.
There was also the existence of the spiritual world, represented by the Lake guardians, who embody knowledge, emotion, and willpower.
But unfortunately, the content on the stone tablet was limited to this.
If Li Wei were to type out everything he knew...
Wouldn't that be like Guo Jing reciting the Nine Yin Manual?
He wouldn't do such a foolish thing.
After all, he couldn't claim it was a dream message...
Eh?!
It seemed it wasn't impossible after all.
If Li Wei said it was bestowed by Arceus, or a dream message... it's likely no one would refute him.
Li Wei exhaled slowly, "Alright."
Cynthia looked at him with an expression Li Wei had never seen before, one of extreme surprise and envy.
"Do you know how long it would take me to translate this?"
Li Wei truly didn't know.
He didn't probe casually, instead asking, "How long?"
Cynthia sighed, "At least a month, and the translation would definitely not be as accurate as yours."
This stone tablet had just been unearthed in Eterna City, and all ancient researchers and related professionals were rushing to translate it.
If Cynthia were to take this article there now, people would probably believe in the accuracy of this translation.
But it didn't matter.
After all, Cynthia's grandmother was Dr. Jielan Mustard, the leading authority in the study of ancient myths and legends in the Sinnoh region.
Regarding the correctness of this translation,
Cynthia could just consult her grandmother.
According to Li Wei's translation of this article,
If it was correct, then some existing legends would have to be overturned.
This included the history of the Sinnoh region,
And even the history of the entire world...
Including Arceus...
This legendary creator god.
Cynthia vaguely felt that this was correct.
Even without complete verification, otherwise, it would be difficult to explain how Akagi could defeat Arceus.
Because that was merely a Pokemon clone of Arceus, not its true body.
"Where did you learn this?"
Li Wei probed, "If I said it was bestowed by Arceus, would you believe me?"
Cynthia nodded solemnly, "Yes."
Well, Li Wei had indeed underestimated Cynthia, this mythologist's emphasis on and belief in mythological content.
(Li Wei is amazing!)
Diancie, beside him, exclaimed excitedly.
Although she had never seen Arceus, Diancie had heard the legends of Arceus from the mature and steady Carbink.
"By the way, this is my translation. If you need the original text, I can type it out again."
Cynthia nodded, "Thank you for your trouble."
The original text was relatively shorter and somewhat classical.
Li Wei also roughly guessed the author of this stone tablet—Wu Si.
A genuine ancient Sinnoh person, and in Li Wei's understanding, Wu Si's lifespan might be extremely long.
How long, you ask?
Wu Si should still be alive now.
It's just that she lives in a place Li Wei doesn't know.
Li Wei once thought she was in Celestic Town,
But Li Wei had never seen her.
She said something that left a deep impression on Li Wei,
"You can't live forever."
Actually, it can be inferred that she can live forever, although the logic might be a bit rigid, it can be proven through other clues.
Li Wei helped Cynthia translate the original text once.
"I originally thought I'd have to stay here for several days, but now it seems I need to go to Eterna City. I'll contact you later, and your name will be included in the translation."
Cynthia packed her belongings and left in a hurry.
"Ding..."
