Chapter 298: Dimension and Truth (Epilogue 1)
In this beginningless and endless, Ciri has no way of knowing what the other person looks like, and Ciri doesn't even know what she looks like now. He didn't know what the consequences would be if he rashly contacted the other party, and whether he would encounter danger.
But now Ciri really has too many questions and puzzles to ask people, so he can't care too much about it, and immediately tries to contact the other party.
There are no words to communicate here, but more of an exchange of ideas. Ciri easily contacted the other party, but the one seemed to be in a state of distraction, and he tried to call the other person a few times before the other person came back to his senses.
"Sure enough, it's you, I didn't expect you to come so quickly. The other party paused, and then continued: "I see, it is the power of the 'soul' that helps you break through the boundary. ”
Xi Rui was a little "listening" and asked eagerly: "What should I call you, where is this place, why did I become like this, why did I come here?"
The other party "smiled", and to be honest, even though there was no form here, Ciri could still feel the other party's smile. Then he continued: "Don't worry, young man, you have time here. ”
"First of all, I want to introduce myself, my name is Night and Hazy, you can call me 'Night'. This is the dimensional gap between your world and the world where my body is, or the dimensional mezzanine. ”
Ciri was even more confused when he heard what the self-proclaimed "Night" had to say. Not only does this man have a strange name, and it sounds like he's not from the same world, but he knows a lot about him. Could it be that this "night" comes from another world that originally split off from the plane of eternal night, or that there is a world in this world that is beyond the time when the plane of eternal night was complete?
The self-proclaimed "Night" also seemed to see Ciri's question, and continued: "Well, since you haven't lived through the legendary stage, you may not understand these concepts, so I'll answer them for you in detail." ”
"You should already know something below the Legend level, but when you reach the real Legend level, there are new changes. Characters who have reached the legendary level should be officially called the Ruler. Because they were able to bring about some rule changes, and they were able to change them on a large scale. ”
Of course, there are also great restrictions on the rules that can be changed by the ruler, which is generally limited to the higher rules, and can only be realized within a certain range, and will be invalid for certain people. The more basic and complex the rules are changed, the smaller the scope of their effects, and the more people will fail. ”
However, the sign of entering a legend is not knowing the rules, in fact many semi-legends already have access to the power of the rules. The sign of truly entering the Legendary level is to be able to feel the power of the next stage, that is, to feel the existence of the 'dimension'. ”
"Maybe what I'm going to say next will subvert your perception, but please don't take it as a lie, and you will realize that what I said is true. ”
"You've also read a lot of books, and some story books have a story world in themselves. I'm sorry to tell you that this world is also a world of stories in books. ”
Hearing this, although he had already made some preparations, Ciri couldn't help but wonder if the other party was crazy, or if he was crazy. How can the world of stories in books move, shouldn't those things just be recorded in books in a dead life?
"The world in which the author of the book lives and the world in which the book itself is written are in different 'dimensions', and the nature of the two worlds is different. And the dimensional mezzanine we are in now is the part between the two dimensions of the two worlds. ”
"Legendary, or rule-based, can already vaguely sense the existence of dimensions, and some guess the falsity of their own world, so they can do some things that are absolutely impossible under the legend, such as unlimited teleportation and creating things out of thin air. ”
"But after all, the Legendary level is only a ruler, and has not yet stepped into the next stage and become a dimension --- our current form. Therefore, their ideas are mostly speculation, and the dimensional power they can use is also out of natural instinct, so they are still just rules. ”
"If you understand both of these concepts, then I can formally introduce my origins. ”
"Every book has an author, and compared to the world in the book, the author himself is undoubtedly a high-dimensional existence. And the author will have his own signature, his own thoughts and will when creating books, these things belong to both the author himself at high latitudes and the world of books at low latitudes itself, which is a strange existence between two dimensions. ”
"The pen name of the author of this book world is 'Night Rain Hazy', which is my current name. I myself am a will left by the author himself in the world of books, a will that sits between the high and low dimensions but does not belong to both. ”
Speaking of which, the self-proclaimed "Night" was in a somewhat depressed mood. Ciri can understand that if this "night" is not gibberish, his own existence is a very sad thing.
As the old saying goes: Ignorance is a kind of happiness. Ciri himself wouldn't be happy if he really was just a passage from a book like he had heard from Night. And "Night", which is self-aware, must be even more painful and helpless.
After briefly cleaning up his mood, Yeshi continued: "Originally, the world in the book should not be what it is now, it should move along a fixed track designed by the author. However, another terrifying existence appeared in the high-latitude world where the author himself lived--- and the ancient gods changed everything. ”
Hearing the concept of "Ancient Gods", Xi Rui was slightly stunned, this was not the first time he had heard of "Ancient Gods", in several major changes involving the destruction of the world, the figure of "Ancient Gods" appeared.
Strictly speaking, the Old God has never fully appeared, and every time he is basically his followers, or a part of him appears, it has caused the original world to fall apart.
Noticing Ciri's momentary sluggishness, Nightlight continued, "You should have learned some information about the Old Gods, but in fact, the world you came into contact with in meditation is the high-dimensional world where the author of the book is, a world that has been destroyed by the Old Gods!"
"When the ancient gods awakened or descended, the high-dimensional world was destroyed without any resistance, and the scattered remnants who escaped could not support the continuation of civilization. ”
"No one knows where the old gods come from, and no one knows their roots. However, as far as I can guess, the Old Gods are likely to be the existence of a higher-dimensional world, so they can't resist in the lower-dimensional world, so they can freely shuttle between various dimensions!"
