Chapter 126: The Magician
In the burning of will, the thought waves set off by the spiritual power turned into an endless tidal wave, which swept the entire darkness with the spreading waves, and rose to the sky!
In the midst of countless overlapping sounds, the silver circuit formed by the World Tree released a burning pain, and the flames ignited from the translucent body, igniting the will and spirit, causing Zhou Li to let out an irrepressible hoarse roar.
And in the midst of the roar, suddenly a crisp sound sounded in the shackles breaking, and the endless darkness shattered in response, and the first rays of light shone into this dark space and fell on Zhou Li's body.
And at this moment, Zhou Li's body is no longer illusory and transparent; As the flame was extinguished, a sturdiness indistinguishable from a real body** was revealed.
At that moment, the level that had been blocking Zhou Li's path all alongβthe breakthrough of 'soul manifestation' was devastated!
Ability metamorphosis, done!
Since then, Zhou Li has stepped into the second stage. Magician's category.
For ordinary people, the spirit will dissipate with the destruction of the body; But for those who have a strong spiritual power to a certain extent, even if the ** is destroyed, the soul can continue to stay.
But that kind of realm is too far away for the current Zhou Li, and even some apostle-level ability people can't do it.
It's just that the current Zhou Li already has the foundation to that realm, which is the particularity and importance of 'soul manifestation'.
Once the soul can be 'embodied' in a certain image from the state of nothingness under the burning and condensation of spiritual power, then Zhou Li's spiritual power will also form a qualitative change that is very different from the past.
At least, as before, the embarrassing dilemma of 'using one's ability once, and the mental power will be completely drained' will never happen again. Not to mention the ability to successfully metamorphose after breaking through the first stage...... And at that moment, the sleeping Zhou Li finally woke up, opened his pale blue eyes, and his vision penetrated the layers of mist, penetrating the ever-changing scene around him like a dream.
The world is at hand.
β¦β¦ When the sleeping girl opened her eyes again, she felt the warmth of being carried, and the steady heartbeat coming from the close shell.
"Are you awake?" Zhou Li noticed the awakening of the girl behind him, turned his head to look at her pale cheeks, and smiled.
Just after Zhou Li woke up and found the girl unconscious on him, as well as the pale scars left on her wrists, he finally knew what had happened.
At that time, the girl had completely fainted due to excessive blood loss, but even in a coma, there was still a rare smile on the corner of her mouth.
Fortunately, she was still breathing at this time, otherwise Zhou Li really didn't know what to do.
It's just that after a long wait, the residual smell of blood has attracted several strange creatures unique to the subspace, and the strange shapes are almost to the extent that almost every one of them can run to the level of being a starring role in a horror movie.
Compared to those strange things, the black wolf with four eyes at the beginning was just a small matter.
In just a few dozen minutes, Zhou Li's biology was overturned by all kinds of strange creatures seen in the fog - strange humanoids with octopus heads, bloated giants with two heads, giant bats soaring through the sky, and even strange races of half-human, half-snake...... If it weren't for the fact that most of the creatures were hardly interested in Zhou Li, he wouldn't have known how to get here with the smoke bomb that was left on his body.
Although the burner has been destroyed, Zhou Li, who has a lot of feelings with it, still carefully put away its wreckage, and one day, maybe someone can repair it.
Either way, it is a witness to a period of its own time.
In the few attacks, Zhou Li also found that his advancement brought more than just the improvement of his ability...... It's just that soon a new discovery will give him a headache - this is the world is so strange!
Here, all the scenes seem to be constantly changing, and the land is sometimes plain, sometimes into a canyon; Obviously, it was still a cave before the fog gathered, but after the fog dissipated, Zhou Li's location became a lofty mountain again...... Even if he knew in advance that most of the rules in the subspace could not be speculated in the real world, Zhou Li couldn't help but be surprised.
Behind Zhou Li, the girl hugged Zhou Li's neck, sniffed him gently, and was silent without speaking.
Walking through the broken bricks and rubbles like after the bombing of a fighter plane, Zhou Li suddenly turned his head to look at her side face and asked in a low voice, "Why do you want to save me?" We've only met a few times, haven't we? β
The girl was silent for a moment, and then whispered, "We are...... Like-minded ......"
"The same kind?" Hearing this sentence again, Zhou Li was still confused and couldn't understand the situation, so he could only sigh helplessly: "Okay, the same kind is the same kind." β
Behind Zhou Li, the girl gently tugged at his collar, her pale fingers pointed to the right side of the front, and her voice was still illusory and ethereal: "Go this way." β
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at her in surprise, remembered that the girl seemed to be going to take him somewhere, and asked in surprise: "Do you know the road?" β
Although all subspaces are connected by chaotic turbulence, most subspaces are relatively closed worlds; If you don't turn it on, no one will know what's going on inside, and even abilities like prophecy won't be able to get much information.
In some subspaces, earth-shaking changes will occur anytime and anywhere, and the safe road she walked last time will be dangerous next time, in this illusory world that can't be guessed with common sense at all, she actually knows the way forward?
Holding Zhou Li's neck, the girl showed a weak smile behind his back and replied in a low voice, "I belong here...... I know. β
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and looked at the girl's arm that was becoming more and more pale and almost transparent in the fog, originally Zhou Li thought it was just the paleness after too much blood loss, but when he looked at it now, Zhou Li suddenly recalled the scene he saw in the early morning - in the pale fog, the girl with an illusory figure and seemed to disappear at any time.
Shaking his head vigorously, Zhou Li no longer thought about those incomprehensible things, and turned his head to look at the silent girl: "Where are we going?" β
Leaning sleepily on Zhou Li's shoulder, the girl's eyes narrowed, like a cat about to fall asleep, and answered him in a weak voice:
"Go here...... Core. β
β¦β¦ In the depths of the mist, in a place like ruins, there was a sudden spread of rapid gunfire and whistling sound waves, and dozens of strange-shaped beasts were torn apart by the terrifying resonance and burning bullets, dissipating into a blur of light, and not even the corpses remained.
Lu Yuanwei walked in front with a tuning fork and whispered: "Damn, those people didn't say that the attribute of this subspace turned out to be a 'dream'!" β
Behind him, Zhu Teng, who was silently changing bullets, lifted his glasses and whispered: "Everything here is the image created by the people of this city in their sleep...... We're probably in a little bit of trouble. β
Each subspace has its own unique tone and attributes, and because of this, a variety of strange subspaces have been shaped.
For example, it was born by absorbing the history of human warfare and the desire to kill, which is the bloody world of 'endless killing', and the 'mechanical space' built by the No.7 apostle 'Horus' with the ability 'Genesis v5.3'...... And in this small subspace, the attributes and rules possessed are actually 'dreams' that are rare in all subspaces.
In other words, the world is completely built on the basis of human dreams, in which anything impossible can occur, and all common sense cannot work in it.
This is not the worst part, the worst part is that for some reason, this subspace did not explode with the original tide of chaos, but lurked behind this city for nearly twenty years!
In the past twenty years, all the spiritual powers that have been inadvertently leaked out by the sleeping people in this city have been absorbed by this subspace.
As a coastal city, Shangyang has a permanent population of 6 million people, and under such a huge population base, even if the spiritual power leaked out of each person's sleep is insignificant, no matter how small the number is, multiply it by 600,000, and then multiply it by 20 365...... It is also enough to form a frightening scale.
At this moment, they are equivalent to entering a world shaped by the ability of 'illusion manifestation', but this world is created by six million people, and although they cannot achieve autonomous control, its scale and quality are far from being comparable to that of a single person's ability.
However, the fortunate thing in the misfortune is that because it was formed by the dreams of six million people, these chaotic dreams could not be integrated at all, and could only be pieced together in a piece of loose sand, without really creating any terrifying monsters.
Otherwise, in the past twenty years, once the spiritual power exuded by six million people in the dream realm is truly gathered, even the apostles who are in the sequence after 4 will not dare to win easily.
In this world, the only ones that can condense into substance are those who are in the 'third stage. The things under the heretic level, and those two-headed giants, dragons, and thousands of kilometers of sandworms under the earth, etc., these terrifying monsters that are completely beyond common sense are just phantoms.
Although it looks amazing, it is just a realistic 3D movie after all, and you don't need to worry about it.
The only thing to be wary of is the essence hidden in the illusion, and the dream world is the most troublesome in this regard, and it is impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhu Teng still had a small alchemy instrument in his hand that could detect the direction of a large energy source, they would have been lost in it a long time ago.
Once again, smashing the group of snakes that suddenly turned out from the ground, Lu Yuanwei gasped a little tiredly: "Next, how to go?" β
Looking down at the rows of numbers on the instrument in his hand, Zhu Teng calculated silently in his heart, and after a long time, he raised his head and pointed to the right: "The largest energy reaction source is in front, although the distance is not clear, but it should be the core of the subspace." β
After a pause, he looked at Lu Yuanwei, who had obviously begun to show abnormalities, and asked with some concern, "Do you need to take a break?" β
"No, I don't." Lu Yuanwei shook his head lightly, revealing a smile of expectation: "I'm about to advance, I can feel ......"
