It's a strange space.

At the foot of the foot is the starry sky of the void, and around it is the shining light gate.

In each light door, there are strange pictures flickering, some people are talking, some people are fighting, but the speed is different.

And in the center of the countless light gates, there was still a person standing.

The girl in white!

This scene felt so familiar, Shen Yi felt as if he had seen it somewhere.

He was stunned, and the information in the memory section in his mind had automatically reappeared.

He finally remembered.

"It's you!" Shen Yi blurted out.

This is clearly the place he had traveled to when he was on a mission to the Caribbean - a transit point connecting the worlds.

And the girl in front of her - what a familiar stranger!

"You remember. The girl's voice was calm.

"Yes......" Shen Yi smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry I didn't think of you all of a sudden, I was locked up in a black cage for forty years, oh, no, maybe longer, I can't figure out the specifics." ”

"It's forty-six years, the space-time rate of the dream space is ten thousand times that of the real space, and your body has been asleep for nearly forty hours, so you have spent forty-six years in the dream space. ”

"Forty-six years ......" Shen Yi pondered for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Then why did I break through the dream space but not be able to return to my body, but came to this place instead? Also, is this a dream or reality?"

"This is a secret transit point connecting the worlds, but it's not the one you've ever seen, it's just an appearance, I have a lot of transit points like this, and this one is the closest to the death of the system, and the most secret one. ”

The Death of the System?

Shen Yi thought of the row of ice coffins below, as well as the men and women in the ice coffins, the golden rune chains that wrapped around them.

There was another wave of memory churning in his mind, and Shen Yi understood.

"Serena was almost one of them, wasn't she?"

"You finally get the idea. ”

Shen Yi looked at his feet.

He rushed out of the light gate below, but at this moment, there was a field under his feet, and there was no trace of the light gate.

"I don't understand. Shen Yi shook his head: "If I am a sleeping consciousness isolated in a deep dream, then now I have not returned to my body, I should only be able to roam in the dream realm, why would I still enter the real space of the existence of the bloody city?"

"Have you ever heard of the Soul Coming Out of the Shell?"

"Are you saying that my consciousness has detached from my body, formed a soul, and is walking in this space?" Shen Yi couldn't believe his ears.

Although he is already an adventurer, Shen Yi is still an atheist in essence.

To be precise, he believed that there were mysterious forces in the world, but these mysterious forces still followed a certain trajectory.

Whether it is consciousness or dreams, it is only generated through the thinking of the human brain, and it is impossible to exist without the material foundation, and only the consciousness that can exist without the human body can be called the soul.

For example, after death, the soul still exists, which is based on this.

For Shen Yi or Zhou Yiyu, who believe that consciousness exists by relying on matter, the existence of the soul is unbelievable, as for the bloody city to have soul-like abilities, but that is just some functional variants under the restrictions of the rules.

For example, Ivy's soul lives in the soul stone, but it is not so much Ivy's soul as it is that this consciousness has a new carrier.

And now, the girl in white tells him that he has produced a soul, which makes him feel incredible.

"It is not you who produce the soul, but your soul that produces you. The girl replied: "This is a world where dreams come true, where thinking is the essence and matter is only extension." ”

If Hua Tianrui also used uncertain expressions such as "maybe" and "maybe" when he told Zhou Yiyu this sentence, then the same sentence from the girl's mouth was said in an extremely firm tone.

Shen Yi understood.

"That's why the bloody city can be entered, but not out of the human world, right? We are not truly self-entering, our existence is just a copy of our minds......" Shen Yi's brain was spinning rapidly, and the high-speed calculation allowed him to combine new data input, give endless possibilities, and then remove all kinds of impossibilities, and find the answer closest to the truth:

"It's a wonderful space, it's self-contained and the polar opposite of the outside world. If all life in the universe can be decomposed into matter, and all thoughts and behaviors are formed on the basis of matter, which is the result of the combined movement of countless cells and molecules, then in this space, everything is just the opposite. ”

"Thinking is the essence, and matter is only extension. As long as there is thought, matter can be born. ”

"The Bloody City intercepts human consciousness, generates souls, and uses them as a basis to create adventurers. And because of this, even if the Supreme Council overthrows the Quaresses, they still can't return to Earth...... It's funny, remember when I was in the Terminator mission, I used to say. If one day, we go back to Earth and find my grave, is that me in the grave still a pile of dry bones? Now I have the answer, I'm just a clone. ”

Shen Yi said in one breath before stopping.

The girl in white's face was always calm: "Not exactly, it's not so much that you are a clone of Shen Yi of the earth, but that you are the consciousness obtained by space, and after being born into a soul, the essence born by the soul." ”

"What do you mean......"

"Thinking gives birth to matter, just as on the earth, human beings are the combination of sperm/child and egg, first there is matter, and then thinking is generated. But here, it's thinking first, and then life. ”

"So that's ......" Shen Yi finally understood: "But consciousness can't be created out of thin air." ”

"Yes, so it can only plunder. ”

Shen Yi was stunned.

As early as the World War II world, once he chatted with Wen Rou and discussed the meaning of urban existence, at that time he questioned why adventurers exist here, and Shen Yi said at that time, "Maybe it's because life on earth is self-nurturing and growing, and this world can only rely on plunder." ”

In a word, it is a proverb.

"In this way, I was able to come out of the shell because the adventurer had an independent soul consciousness from the beginning. ”

"Yes, your body is just an extension of this consciousness, but that doesn't mean that any adventurer can be soul-independent. It's like people on Earth, consciousness is just a product of the functioning of brain cells, but that doesn't mean they can stop functioning, and in this respect, your body is still your most essential thing. When souls are out of space, you can take them out as well. ”

"Including those abilities and beings who are attached to us, who are not attached to our bodies, but to our souls. And the reason why our body can be repaired is also because it relies on the soul, not the source. ”

"Yes. ”

"Then why am I out of the shell now?"

"You're in sync with the space. ”

"Sync?"

"Have you ever wondered where this space is?"

"I used to think it existed in a corner of the universe. ”

The girl in white shook her head.

She suddenly raised her hand, and a little light came out of her fingertips.

The light gradually increased, and suddenly burst, changing into countless star spots, extending in all directions.

Soon, in front of Shen Yi's eyes, a galaxy was generated.

It is very similar to the generation process of the galaxy in Shen Yi's body before, but it is slightly different, for some reason, Shen Yi feels that this galaxy lacks some vitality.

The cosmic illusion created by the girl in white is actually inferior to herself? This made Shen Yi feel a little incredible, maybe it was just an illusion.

The girl's voice came out loud: "This is the origin of the universe as understood by human scientists...... At first, it was just a chaos, a point of great density, which people called the primordial or singularity. The singularity exploded, and the space began to spread and expand in all directions, and it never stopped expanding outward, and eventually formed the entire universe. ”

"Yes, I know. Shen Yi nodded: "Do you want to tell me that they are wrong?"

"No, humans are intelligent, they may not be able to explore the essence, but at least they can see the appearance. ”

"Appearances?"

"Yes, at least not the Quaresses. ”

"Quarez ......"

"The Quarez people believe that the singularity of the universe still exists. This singularity is the origin of the universe and the core of the universe. If the universe is infinitely expanding outward, then the singularity is infinitely collapsing inward. Precisely because it is diametrically opposed to the material universe, it is the universe of the mind or the spirit body......"

"Dream Space!"

"Yes. Then they began to actively search for the location of the singularity. ”

"Clearly, they found it. ”

"Nope. To Shen Yi's surprise, the girl replied, "They have never entered the singularity." ”

Shen Yi frowned: "What does this mean?"

"Have you forgotten that I said that the singularity collapses infinitely?"

Shen Yi's heart trembled slightly: "They found the source, tried to jump into the singularity, tried to develop themselves in that spiritually supreme world, but the infinite collapse of the singularity made them ......"

"Always on the go. The girl replied that the image of her fingertips had changed again.

From the endless starry sky to a giant black hole.

Thousands of ships float in this black hole, heading for the most central point, but they never, never, never get there......

Just like Shen Yi's endless fall in the cage of the Dark Force.

"Oh my God!" Shen Yi muttered, "We're in the middle of it." ”

"But it's already a singularity. The girl corrected.

"What does this have to do with syncing?"

"The Rainbow Bridge, a way of Star Wars jumping, is based on infinite collapse, and through this collapse to achieve faster-than-light jumps. Of course, there is no complete theoretical basis for it, but the Quarez people used the power of space to simulate a kind of leap based on the predicament they were in at the time, perhaps hoping to find an ending that could escape the endless fall. But at least in the place where they designed, they didn't expect that someone would fall into the dream space at that point in time...... The Dark Force is the perfect dream creator, and the simulated infinite collapse and jump on the rainbow bridge inadvertently synchronize you with the city itself, which has been falling. ”

"Nothing like this has ever happened before?"

"Of course, my consciousness was just a chaotic state at first, maybe there were similar events before, but I didn't survive such a long lonely years, and you ...... You survived. ”

The girl continued, "You have knowledge of the Force, you have three-dimensional visual memories to help you through the craziest years, and the conditions have freed you from what is probably the biggest and most difficult bondage in the world. ”

"You cut through the cage and jumped out. ”

"Your soul is free. ”

"It's like Nirvana being reborn, or Pangu opening the world. ”

Shen Yi frowned: "It sounds quite mysterious, but it doesn't seem to have any substantial benefits." ”

"It's just that you didn't notice it. ”

As she spoke, the girl's hand pointed at Shen Yi, and the Milky Way in Shen Yi's body and mind reappeared.

She looked at Shen Yi: "Looking at it, what does that liberated soul mean, don't you understand?"

The stars are filled, and the Milky Way is reversed.

Stars rose again in front of Shen Yi's eyes, and countless stars floated in that void.

On a planet, life is being born.

They looked somewhat similar to what Shen Yi had seen before, but also a little different.

Shen Yi raised his hand lightly and pressed it towards the planet.

The next moment, the wind and clouds changed, and the entire planet collapsed and shattered.

He could even see the countless lives on that planet wailing......

"This is not an illusion!" Shen Yi looked at the girl in shock.

"The mind creates matter. The girl replied:

"It's a world where dreams come true!"
