Cages
"Is this the star I've seen before? Impossible" Yue Kui was in disbelief, his wings suddenly stopped waving, and his body stopped suddenly. The sudden appearance of this star was completely unexpected. At this point in time, this place, this star should not be here at this moment. You know, it took him a few breaths before he set off to rush to his destination, and even if he used all his strength to increase his speed, it would be impossible to arrive in such a short time, even if he didn't even care about his life, it was impossible to cross such a long distance in a few breaths.
"You lost" was when Yue Kui couldn't understand the mood at this moment, his mind went blank, and he looked at the huge giant star in front of him. I slowly appeared beside him and spoke, sobering him up.
"No, why did it appear out of nowhere?" Yue Kui exclaimed, he was not surprised by my sudden appearance, even if I suddenly appeared in front of him, he would not be so surprised. However, the most incredible thing for him was that he himself, with his strength, it was impossible to reach this star so far away in a few breaths, no object would move in the cage space, and no star would move here, which meant that he had to move at an unimaginable speed in such a short time, and he also felt that his distance was far from enough. If it were me as the master of the cage, he wouldn't be surprised. But for himself, he would never have been able to have such speed.
"Spatial displacement?" This thought popped into his mind, but he instantly denied it, in the cage space, space is chaotic, that is to say, in a cage without the slightest law, space cannot be moved, every space is like being nailed in place, it is impossible to move or break it. Of course, as long as you are strong enough, you can indeed distort the space here to a certain extent, but you can't break the truth that it already believes is absolute in its cage.
However, this rule only applies to era survivors like them, and may not apply to beings like me, who are outside the rules. Could it be that the power of the Lord of the Cage is to control the entire Cage? Thinking of this, Yue Kui couldn't help but tremble in his body, and even his wings trembled in horror. Doesn't that mean that I am an invincible existence in the cage, the vastness of the cage, he knows it very well, it is impossible to explore one corner of it in his life, and when he uses this space to displace, there is no living soul that can match it.
However, there is another question. I can do a space replacement, and he can grudgingly accept it. However, why he himself was able to arrive so quickly was completely unexpected. Could it be that he himself was also replaced by space? He suddenly had this terrible thought, could it be that when he didn't even pay attention to it, he was also replaced by the direct space? However, he didn't feel any signs of spatial fluctuations at all, could the spatial displacement still be with others? And it's instantaneous, without others noticing it in the slightest. This has to make him creepy, although the space replacement is infinitely mysterious, but there are also many restrictions, first of all, it is already incredible to be able to carry out space replacement in the chaotic space of the cage, and to carry out space replacement with him under the extreme speed of flying, it is necessary to be uncertain about his specific location all the time, that is to say, all his traces are within the range of my feelings, so how big should the range of my feelings be, in order to lock my specific position in the chaotic cage space that has almost lost its bearing.
"It's the ...... of space," Yue Kui said his guess in a hesitant voice, he still didn't understand how the star suddenly appeared. But there is another possibility, he hasn't said yet, that method can indeed allow him to reach the star so quickly, and he doesn't notice any signs of fluctuation, and that is to directly replace this stellar giant star in space, but this possibility is too exaggerated......
"It's not a space replacement," I smiled, but the answer was unexpected. The cage space is a chaotic space, in the unknown space that cannot be clearly felt, you can't specifically grasp the specific location of other objects, and space replacement is a wonderful magic power based on the law of space, which requires extremely accurate positioning of the space, which is not feasible in the chaotic space of the cage, and a vague space location cannot be determined. As the master of the cage, I am not in control of the entire cage space, but rather an observer.
"That's?" Yue Kui was even more puzzled, in addition to using space such as space replacement, is there any other way to achieve this situation? He couldn't think of any other way to do it. There are many ways to teleport, but very few can be used in a cage, let alone from that distance.
"Ever heard of levitation?" I looked at his face full of doubts, and said slowly without hurry. I didn't use any wonderful supernatural powers, I just simply used some of the most basic cultivation spells of their human race.
"Levitation?" Listening to this somewhat familiar but can't recall the secret technique, Yue Kui fell into deep thought, he seemed to have heard of this thing in his memory, but he felt very vague when he recalled it carefully, even if his divine sense was already powerful to be matched, but there were too many events he had experienced in his long years, and it was not easy to recall some small details for a while.
I watched him seem to be lost in thought, I didn't bother, I had agreed to his request, and there was no point in staying, although I also wanted to talk to him more about the situation of the last era, but now the first task was to go to the Eternal Light to check on it. So my mind moved slightly, and the whole person melted into the void, and disappeared completely in front of him.
Yue Kui noticed my departure, and only stared at my departure. He didn't say anything, I had already fulfilled his request, and I had shown him my terrifying strength, and he couldn't rub his nose and face and continue to ask for more. "Levitation?" He was carefully recalling these three words, and his divine consciousness had searched like a river and a sea, and finally in the deepest part of his memory, he faintly recalled this levitation technique, when he was still a child, he had heard the powerful elders of the family mention that the levitation technique was the basic spell for the entry of human cultivators, as if the movement of some items was controlled by the infusion of spiritual power, and the speed and size of the control objects were not the same due to the strength of the spiritual power. Due to the special physique of his Heavenly Spirit Body, his talent for controlling the aura is terrifying, and the storage of innate aura is also unmatched in the same level, for this kind of ordinary spell practiced by ordinary cultivators, he has also heard about it, and has no intention of practicing it at all. Now that I think about it carefully, I remember that there is still this exercise.
Suddenly, he came to his senses, and finally understood how I had managed to get him to this star so quickly, but it had subverted his perception so deeply that he stood still in a daze, and he had not yet recovered from his senses. It wasn't that he reached this star at all, it was this star that kept getting closer to him until he met him, which was the reason why he couldn't move far enough, but he was able to meet the star. It was I who was far away enough to need him to reach for thousands of years, and directly pulled this star in front of him through the air, and in just a few breaths, from an incomparably distant distance, this huge and incomparably huge planet was directly ingested, what kind of terrifying strength could I accomplish this kind of thing with a raised hand. Looking at the giant star in front of him, Yue Kui fell silent, and finally looked at the place where I disappeared, helplessly holding a wry smile.
Yue Kui looked at the huge and incomparably large star in front of him, his heart was extremely distressed, the wings behind him suddenly fanned towards it, and a dark light suddenly burst out from a feather at the wings, and the dark light continued to condense and move forward at a rapid pace, forming a twisted black wind in front of his body, blowing towards the huge star at a speed that was unattainable to the naked eye. When the dark wind touched the surface of the star, the surface of the star was obviously constantly burning countless flames and a large amount of fire water (rocks, various crystals, minerals of high-temperature melting) sprayed outward, and the countless flames formed a huge tongue of fire, which stretched outward for several inches, and when the tongue of fire came to an end, it turned into countless shining fires and disappeared into the dark space. The temperature of the jet of fire and water is as high as thousands of yaoyao (a yao is about 100,000 degrees Celsius), under the huge volume of this star, the internal extrusion is very terrifying, under the huge squeezing force, the fire water can be sprayed outward for more than ten or even dozens of inches, and finally dissipate and re-descend to the surface of the planet, like a huge fire rain, this planet is carrying out such a violent reaction all the time, in the silent and vast cage these shining stars are one of the few visible existences, each star contains terrifying power, Constantly venting his energy frantically outward. Unfortunately, today the life of this star has come to an end.
The dark wind first touched the fire water that sprayed outward, and the terrifying fire water with high temperature turned into dead things in an instant when the black wind blew by, and the red and hot fire water quickly cooled into a substance that did not contain a little temperature, and then turned into dust, and then turned into the same black wind, which strengthened the existence of this black wind. At the beginning, in front of this huge planet, this dark wind is like a mayfly shaking a tree, not worth mentioning, in the gradual continuous devouring, this black wind has formed a huge destructive force, and any matter wherever it goes has been swept away from all energy, all of which have been integrated into the black wind, standing in the distance, there has been a big black hole on this star. The wind seemed to be alive, still devouring around frantically, hungry and hungry, like a spatial rift (the crack formed by the instability of different spatial contact points is generally formed as a hole, generally formed by the fall of low-level space to high-order space), the entire star body began to distort and deform under the destruction of the black wind, and the originally huge planet, countless jets of flames, tongues of fire, and fire water, in the face of the black wind, were all vulnerable and assimilated into a part. Yue Kui watched quietly and didn't say anything.
It is estimated that only half a moment later, under the faint black light of the wings flickering again, the general black wind disappeared, and the huge star that was originally here also disappeared, and it was completely destroyed, only the residual residual temperature around it was proof of the existence of this star. "Collapse Technique", one of the supreme supernatural powers contained in the wings, the wind of collapse that blows out can destroy everything it touches. Yue Kui sighed, even if he destroyed this star casually, he couldn't relieve the depression in his heart, he never thought that I would still have this kind of thought and ability, and directly ingest this planet through the distant void. This kind of trick is not much higher than his destruction of the entire planet. Just through this trick, you can get a glimpse of the terrifying strength of the cage master, which is indeed as legendary. Yue Kui shook his head helplessly, and as soon as his wings moved, the whole person roared out in place, and disappeared into the endless darkness of the cage in an instant.
When I reappeared, it was already a place where he didn't know how far away. Although I didn't use the so-called spatial displacement to transfer the entire star in the small contest just now, I did use spatial displacement when I teleported to him, and I was in the cage space, so I did have the right to move space, and I could displace any space in the entire cage to any known location at will. It is important to emphasize here that the definition of cage space is not unique, and the real concept of cage refers to this infinitely expanding space, which is vast and boundless. The unified understanding of the cage by creatures in many eras mostly refers to the space that has been explored in this space, that is, the space that has been explored by living beings or where objects exist, rather than the endless void that has not been explored. And my control over this cage is all the space I know, that is to say, the real cage is like an infinitely expanding circle, and the cage we know is only a small circle in the big circle, and my control over the cage is a smaller circle in the small circle, only within this range can I carry out space replacement, in order to use a certain amount of my control over the cage. The reason for this is that there is an irreversible truth, and that is the unknowable truth of chaos. This eternal truth means that if a living being has a specific scope for everything that is perceived by the outside world, then everything beyond this range is chaotic and unknown to this creature, that is to say, it is relatively non-existent for this creature. That is to say, the whole cage that I know is what I can feel, so the space and everything in it, once everything beyond this range, is the unknowable range for me, that is, the things that do not exist, I cannot teleport myself to an unknown space, and I cannot use any means against a space that does not exist, and this law applies to all living beings here. Even if there are many spaces explored in the entire cage, or where living beings have visited, as long as there is no contact with me, there will be no cause and effect. It's also a space that doesn't exist for me. The main reason is that the cage space is too huge, resulting in the connection between different creatures is also extremely difficult, even if each creature is the strongest person in each era, but in this vast space, the chance of meeting is also very slim, just like Yue Kui and I met just now, it is estimated that it is too long since I met other creatures, so I curiously stayed next to me for tens of thousands of years, and he may not have encountered the existence of other creatures in hundreds of thousands of years.
Although I can move quickly in the known space, I don't like it, but I prefer to wander slowly in this void, because during the time of wandering, I sometimes encounter a lot of interesting things, although it may take tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years to meet living beings or other things, but I think it is worth waiting to meet them.
I sensed the existence of the Eternal Trace Light a little bit in my mind, and I could faintly feel that it was in a certain direction of mine, a very long distance, but I did feel the faint light that was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible, but I was very sure that it was in that direction, because I had mastered the existence of the Eternal Trace Light, so there was a causal relationship between the Eternal Trace Light and me, so I could sense its location in the distant void. Actually, as someone who has been in contact with the Eternal Light, its orientation has been determined, and I can directly convert the space instantaneously, but I don't like to do this, it seems too boring, in the long years, I have enough time to complete what I want to do, I still like to keep walking in to reach the space where it is, and then on the way I am eager to encounter some gonzo, because only by touching various things can I continue to enrich my knowledge.
I have this anticipation because many of the Era survivors like to wander around the Eternal Light due to its relative center point in the cage, making it easier to come into contact with other creatures there, as well as many remnants of previous Eras. Most of the existences are centered on the light of eternal traces to spread their existence, of course, it is not excluded that some beings continue to advance to the unknown territory in the edge of the known cage in order to explore the unknown space, because you never know if other beings have come to the space you have come to before, and there have been remnants of dozens of epochs ago in the extreme depths of a certain direction of the cage space, and the cage space is full of all possibilities.
What is a cage? I can't say it myself, some creatures say it's the most wonderful and infinite place in the whole world, some creatures say it's a place where any era of existence is crazy, but there are also creatures who think that this is the most terrifying place in the whole world, and it is the last burial ground for all living beings. The cage space, an existence that is not subject to any laws of heaven and earth, the only thing that needs to be measured here is the power of years, there is no source of energy here, there is no aura, there is no source of heaven and earth required for cultivation, heaven and earth do not have any constraint on here, all the strongest can exert all their power here, and they do not have to be afraid of the sanctions of heaven and earth. Here time is the only measure, everything here only needs to take into account the passage of time, but the time here passes slowly and scary, and the existence of all things here will be extended to an unimaginable time, living for several years (one year is a hundred years, one thousand years is a hundred Beijing years, one trillion years is a hundred trillion years, one trillion years is ten billion years, and the years here are the units of time passage in the outside world), and even the existence of several epochs, there are many people.
The most powerful feature of this space is that the creatures here can escape the reincarnation of each epoch, which is the most powerful feature of the entire cage space. The return of the epoch can be said to be the ultimate fate of each era, and it is also the final fate that all living beings must face in each era. The epoch returns to nothing, the way of heaven disappears, the avenue is reshaped, the fate of all existence in the epoch is as if it is cut off in an instant, all existence will be reduced to nothingness, the entire epoch will disappear into nothingness, and then everything will disappear, and after a very long period of time, reincarnation will begin, and a new era will begin again. In the era of nothingness, all things are fatally turned into nothingness, that is, the entire existence is erased, and no living beings can fight against it, as long as it exists in this era, its fate belongs to this era, and the return of the era is to make it disappear fundamentally. Of course, there are also the strongest people of each era who want to use their terrifying strength to erase the proof of their existence in time, so as to escape the end of the fate of each being when the era is gone. It's a pity that as long as it is the existence of the birth of this era, no matter who it is, it is firmly grasped by its own destiny, and it is too difficult and difficult to cut off all the connections with heaven and earth, and your every move is within the constraints of heaven and earth. You can try to cut off the connection with heaven and earth, but in the end you can only cut it down, not destroy it.
There is an eternal truth here, and that is the eternal truth of existence. That is to say, as long as an object has existed, then it exists from the perspective of the whole time, whether it has changed its appearance, changed its shape, how powerful it has become, or whether it has fled to other dimensions, in the whole river of time, it has existed, no matter what it is, even if it is a speck of dust between heaven and earth, or the strongest person in an era, it is a real existence that has appeared in the long river of time. Even if you end up being nothing, you are still in this world. It is impossible for a living being to clear the proof of its own existence, because it is a contradictory cycle, a pre-existing creature needs to clear the proof of its existence in order to escape the epoch and return to nothingness, but if it clears its past self, then its future self will no longer exist, let alone clear its past self, let alone how much causality it will cause to itself. Of course, you can also choose to directly resist the era of non-existence, and the strongest person of each era has jumped out of the rules of heaven and earth to a certain extent, and has a certain ability to resist the influence of the era of non-existence. However, I have never seen a being that can directly survive in the return of the epoch, because when the epoch returns to nothing, all the laws collapse, and the order of heaven and earth disappears, if you want to resist the return of the epoch, you need to directly bear all the cause and effect generated by all the previous epochs and all the time that has passed, because if you try to jump out of the judgment of fate, you have to bear the sum of the fate of all the objects that have happened, and you will pass trillions of billions of eternal years (one eternal is about ten thousand eternals, one ancient is a hundred traces, and one is a hundred years, one is a hundred positives, one is a hundred poles, and one is a hundred yuan years), and even close to almost infinite time, there is no existence that can resist the consumption of this kind of years, and the existence that wants to survive directly in the era of nothingness is all reduced to nothingness without exception. What has not changed in the long river of time is only a few major truths. Among them, the truth of eternal existence and the truth of chaos and unknowability are two eternal truths that complement each other, and these two truths run through the entire river of time, becoming more and more sacred and inviolable in samsara.
