Some people say that cities are the hallmarks of civilization, and if you want to understand what a civilization is like, you can make a fortune by looking at the cities they build.

Although this statement is somewhat biased, there is nothing wrong with the consciousness expressed.

Generally speaking, cities mean the concentration of population, technology and resources, and the evolution away from primitive hunting and cultivation towards more advanced productive forces and production relations.

At least in the physical universe, the vast majority of civilizations follow this basic law.

However, the city of the spiritual world has completely subverted the original person's understanding of the city.

Because he had only arrived at the gate, he found that all those who entered had to strip off their spiritual power and hand it over to the guards waiting at the door.

As for the amount handed over, it is not fixed, it is about one-tenth of the total amount of spirit of each entrant.

You must know that in this world, spirit is nourishment, strength, and precious materials necessary for survival and evolution.

Peeling off a tenth at a time is enough to greatly weaken the creature's power.

But the funny thing is that no guy who entered the city dared to defy this rule, not even bargaining, obediently handed over his part, and then passed through the gate like a monster's mouth, and disappeared at the end of the ever-changing street.

Out of caution, the initiator did not play any tricks this time, and after paying his own share, he quickly entered a place that was as accessible as a square.

Glancing at the strange lifeforms around him, he lowered his voice and asked his friend, "Where are you going to start?"

"From where? No, no, no. The man with the glasses smiled meaningfully and shook his head. "My research has already begun. Isn't that ubiquitous weak order? It's the foundation of the city's existence, otherwise I'm sure these honest-looking guys will turn into terrifying butchers in the next second, killing and devouring every weaker person around them who is not as strong as themselves. ”

"Where do you think this weak order comes from?" asked the Initiator with interest.

The man pointed to the obelisk that stood in the distance in the middle of a large dark red building: "Of course, at the top! It is like a net that covers most of the city." As for the places that are not covered, I can guarantee that they will be lawless places of chaos and sin. ”

The Initiator nodded thoughtfully: "In other words, the obelisk houses the ruler of the city, or the master?"

"Well, would you be interested in coming with me to the nearest place to take a closer look?" the man's eyes flashed with frenzy and obsession, and he offered a dangerous invitation.

Because even the most idiotic person will understand that if the ruler of the city really lives in the obelisk, it will be heavily guarded, and if it is not done, it will be torn to pieces by the powerful guards.

After all, they had only been in the spirit world for a short time, and the guards here were so powerful that they were not at all the monsters who fought with their intuition and primitive instincts outside.

"Are you crazy, or do you want to kill us both?" the Initiator raised an eyebrow in displeasure.

He didn't remember it clearly, but this was the first time his old friend had gone crazy along the way.

Anyway, since he came to the spiritual universe, he has been constantly stopping the other party's death, and it can even be said that it is suicidal.

But no matter what kind of crisis he experienced, the fanaticism exuded by the other party's bones did not diminish at all, but was like a forest fire burning more and more.

"Die? hahahaha! You managed to make me laugh. You know? Strictly speaking, the moment you and I abandon our physical bodies and enter the spiritual world, we are already dead by the physical definition. In a way, we are all literally dead, so why should we be afraid to die again? God knows if there is another world hidden behind this world. All souls, spirits, and consciousnesses are like a huge cycle that constantly shuttles from world to world. The more I knew, the more I felt ignorant, and I was in such a state right now, a state of happiness and distress. ”

Men are obviously very stubborn, have a different set of worldviews and values, and are not willing to accept any situation at all.

In his eyes, he is an explorer and practitioner of truth, and as long as consciousness still exists and does not stop thinking, he must figure out all the mysteries that plague him.

"Damn it! calm me down! Don't forget, if your psychic power is completely consumed, it will disappear from this world forever, and you will not be able to figure out the secrets behind this world, whether or not there is a next cycle waiting for you. We are still weak, and when we are weak, we must choose to lie dormant rather than recklessly meet a potentially powerful enemy. The Initiator reminded sternly.

He didn't want to put himself in danger because of his old friend's reckless behavior.

Know that in the spirit world, no one can really keep secrets.

Every living being's mental power contains a large number of memories, and God knows if there are any creatures that can extract these memories.

At that time, the intelligent life of this world will realize that there is another universe beyond itself, and there is a living invader.

But the man with glasses shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly and comforted: "Relax, you're too nervous." In my opinion, the best way to get to know the world is to find someone who is smart and strong enough to talk to face-to-face. Knowledge and information can only be valued after exchange. If we are so selfish as to be unwilling to exchange information in order to keep so-called secrets, are we not as stupid and ignorant as those primitive people who lived in the Middle Ages?"

"But have you thought about the consequences? As a weak party, we have no choice at all. Your behavior is equivalent to a three-year-old child trading with a strange adult with a large sum of money, and you have no idea whether the other party will carry out the transaction in the next second, or directly steal everything valuable from you. The initiator was straightforward about his biggest concerns.

As we all know, transactions without the protection of a strong force and order are often based on considerable strength.

Because if one party finds out that the other is weak, it is likely to turn from trading to plundering.

"Ah, I've been well prepared for that. Give me a little time and I'll prove that my plan works......"
