In the midst of a world of white as far as the eye can see, a small, elaborate looking house stands out on the horizon, surrounded by neither ornamentation nor defenses.

But in this little house, something terrible is going on.

To be precise, it was Zhang Cheng who was studying and dissecting the corpse that he had brought back at the risk of his life.

Since the spiritual world, everything, including the physical body, is produced by the combination of subjective consciousness and spiritual power, it is better to dissect the spirit and consciousness that remains of the "overlord" than to dissect the corpse of the "overlord". 、

I saw a small piece of something emitting a red glow on a round table with a diameter of less than one meter.

You don't need to ask to know that the most important part of this thing is taken out of the corpse, which is a mixture of mental power and subjective consciousness, similar to the intensive organ of the brain and other high-capitals.

But this thing is undoubtedly more complex than brain cells, and it is full of things that go against the common sense of the material world.

After several days and nights of sleepless testing, Zhang Cheng probably figured out part of the function, and the whole person was in a state of extreme excitement.

Looking at the fragments of broken memories extracted from the remnants of his subjective consciousness, he pursed the corners of his mouth and muttered to himself: "Incredible! This is the first time I have said the same thing in this world?" But the more I studied it, the more I found the close connection between the spiritual universe and the material universe. Perhaps in a place that no one knows, there is an eternal passage hidden, otherwise how to explain the fact that the two affect each other. The overlord, the ruler who stands at the top of the food chain of the spiritual world, will actually die under the influence of the material universe......"

There is no doubt that the cause of death of this corpse is simple, neither a tragic fight between the same kind, nor a natural death at the end of life, but somehow opening the connection point with the material universe.

Just as the spiritual world is a deadly poison for the master, the material world is also a deadly poison for the overlord.

Although their spiritual power is extremely powerful, and they can even create a real and unique small world, once they are stripped of their spiritual power, what remains is only a small and medium-sized life, and its hand-to-hand combat ability may not be comparable to that of a domestic guardian dog.

Under the tearing of the rules of the powerful material universe, this overlord finally failed to survive, so he turned into a cold corpse.

I don't know if its subjective consciousness is like itself, and it has also shuttled to another universe and is reborn in another attitude.

Mystery!

One mystery after another!

The most important thing is that Zhang Cheng has figured out why the overlord is able to completely crush other life forms in this world in terms of quality and quantity.

The reason is not to hunt and devour without any scruples, but to change the way spiritual power is used and stored.

To put it simply, the spiritual power of most living beings is emanated around the body in an unconscious form, and it is called upon when needed.

That is to say, they do not store spiritual power themselves, but only appear around the body in the form of magnets, which are called up and consumed by the subjective consciousness, sometimes used for fighting, and sometimes used to replenish the nutrients consumed by the body.

However, the overlord has evolved organs dedicated to storing mental power, and has also generated a network in the body dedicated to transmitting energy.

Therefore, the overlord is above other life forms, which is essentially an evolution beyond other species, and excluding this part, other internal structures are basically the same.

It is possible that every creature in the spiritual world will accumulate strength in the process of constantly hunting and devouring, and its size will become larger and larger, and when it reaches a certain critical point, it will change from quantitative change to qualitative change, that is, evolve into the so-called "overlord".

After figuring this out, Zhang Cheng quickly discarded the useless part of the corpse, carefully soaked the organ in a bottle of special embalming liquid, and then destroyed the house where he had lived for many days, and moved on.

Through the conversation with the bear monster some time ago, he heard that in a distant place, there is a city built in mid-air, which is inhabited by all kinds of intelligent creatures, and he plans to see it with his own eyes, and by the way, see if he can find useful information or clues.

After all, cities mean concentrated populations, which means that they can spend the least amount of time to get the most useful information.

In addition, the city is also a symbol of civilization.

As a person accustomed to living in civilization, Zhang Cheng couldn't stand dealing with a white and desolate world every day, and he didn't want every time he met a guy who only wanted to kill him and then devour the spiritual power he possessed.

Only wild beasts will be content to eat, mate, and rest.

Higher beings want to be able to attain, more refined, more complex spiritual and material enjoyment.

With the anticipation of the spirit world city, he quickly embarked on this uncertain journey, not knowing where interesting things awaited him, nor did he know that another self had entered the city and was plotting to make some deal with the ruler of the city.

......

"Hello, great Lord Morlock. ”

Standing in the vast and ornate palace, the Initiator bent down and bowed to the huge figure on the high seat.

"Listen to the guards, you want to see me?" the giant known as "Morlock" held his chin with interest, his eyes glinting with amusement and playfulness.

It is estimated that in his eyes, a guy like this with very weak mental power is not worth being vigilant at all, so he holds a kind of boring time, or plays a small game of cat and mouse.

I have a very important message that I would like to share with you. The Initiator resisted the fear in his heart and replied with a forced smile.

"Oh, tell me, if your news doesn't satisfy me, I'll have the guards throw them into an alley outside of order. Believe me, a delicious little guy like you is sure to cause quite a scramble. ”

As he said this, Morlock raised the corners of his mouth, making no secret of his naked evil taste.

"Dark alley", as the name suggests, is a place in the city that is not shrouded in the rules of order, where any rules must be followed, the weak and the strong, survival of the fittest is the most basic rule.

If you are strong, you will be able to hunt others and seize their spiritual power, and if you are weak, you will become a prey, to be seized and devoured by others.

You don't need to ask to know that those places in the city that are not covered are not covered, but deliberately set aside as places for recreation and entertainment.
