"Possessing a certain amount of wisdom" and "possessing a higher level of wisdom" are two different things.

It's certain that the wacky creatures of the Quantum Void like water bears have a crush on Oakes, but the way it expresses it doesn't seem to be very likable.

If you open your mouth so wide, you can't just want to lick him, right?

What's more, this mouth structure doesn't look like a friendly greeting.

"Bang!"

"Woo woo woo ......"

The strange creature took a solid punch from Oakes, and slowly lay on the ground, slowly rolling around.

“……”

This peculiar form of expression made the corners of Oakes' eyes twitch.

But after all, the other party knew that he couldn't open his mouth casually, and he rolled around, and when he got up again, he was much more docile.

"Buzz ......"

Oakes' Wild Heart doesn't do much here, it's out of its reach—

Just as the Wild Heart has no effect on both intelligent and inferior creatures.

Natural magic is also affected here, as the laws of nature here are completely different from the real world.

However, the other party is life.

The other party's interest in Oaks just now is obviously because of the same attribute of "life".

So Oakes can only try to communicate with it with life magic.

"Tsk, the wisdom is indeed not very high, better than a goldfish."

It went well, and Oakes felt the simple wisdom of the eccentric creatures.

"Then let's call you a tardigrade for the time being, and as the landlord, take me around."

He rolled over and rode onto the tardihard's back, and Oakes ordered it to move farther away, and he began to parse the life form of the microscopic creature.

"It is indeed a completely different form of existence from the real world...... There is a greater difference between the observer's form of existence and the real world. ”

A small microscopic creature, but it contains countless mysteries of life, as if opening a new door for Oakes.

Just as Pym's research on the quantum void requires subverting the common sense of physics in the real world, Oakes' research on a small "water bear" also needs to subvert a lot of knowledge in the past.

The existence of life is indeed the most special miracle in the universe.

But one thing is in common.

This also confirms Oakes' previous conjecture about soul gems.

"The soul, even if it is extremely weak, is simply insignificant, but this 'water bear' still has the soul that carries the essence of life."

When he discovered this, Oakes immediately determined the cause of the soul gem's abnormality.

The Quantum Void does have elements that are consistent with the outside world.

Soul.

All along, the soul has been classified in the universe as a mysterious supernatural being.

It is inseparable from life.

It's not just intelligent life, in the eyes of the druids, all things are animist, and the druids communicate with all things in nature, borrowing their power -

Flowers and trees, birds and animals, and even the will of the planet.

Thanos snapped his fingers, and it was half of the life in the universe that disappeared, not half of the intelligent beings in the universe.

When the infinite is reversed, it is not only half of the population of the universe that returns, but half of all life, including plants and animals.

So, if we talk about different life, earthlings, Asgardians, Cree people, spirit bodies......

and other life forms, if there is something in common, then it must be the soul.

And at the macro level of the multiverse, the observer and other beings of the same level obviously also have souls.

Although their souls, the Infinity Stones are also under their control, they are essentially the same.

Now, in the microscopic realm of the quantum void, Oaks has verified this.

The Soul Gem was a little more abnormal in the Quantum Void than the other Infinity Stones, which allowed Oakes to discover this.

"More validation is needed...... After all, its soul is too weak. ”

Oakes sent a timed call to Pym, made sure the communication was smooth, and decided to stay here for a while.

"If only there were advanced intelligent life in the quantum void, if it was just these small things, it would need to be verified in sufficient quantities."

The "water bear" seemed to wander aimlessly, and now Oakes had given it a new order—

Look for other life.

As a result, the path of the "water bear" has become somewhat purposeful.

This journey of exploration of the Quantum Void becomes a fantastic journey for Oakes to capture and study magical creatures.

Pym even wanted Oakes to return to the real world first, bring a bunch of instruments with him, and do some research that they had been trying to do but had to give up because of their lack of mobility.

But now figuring out the nature of life in the microscopic realm is Oakes' top priority.

I don't know why, he has always had a faint sense of urgency since entering the Quantum Void.

This sense of urgency...... It seemed that as he found more and more magical creatures, he gradually became stronger.

"What's going on...... I felt 'auditory hallucinations' before, and I had an inexplicable sense of urgency, what was going to happen? ”

Oakes promised to find a way to help research protective measures in the future, temporarily calming the excited Pym and focusing all his energy on analyzing the mysteries of life.

After all, no matter what happens, you must have enough strength to deal with it.

Time passed imperceptibly, and a few months passed.

The speed of time in different regions of the Quantum Void is inconsistent, some fast and some slow, so the few months that Oakes has experienced have not passed in the real world.

The matter of Oaks' entry into the Quantum Void is temporarily kept secret from the outside world-

Because there's also an Oaks clone that's moving outside.

There are very few people who know about his doppelganger, and the whereabouts of the ontology are even more confidential.

These months — a few days for Pym — felt like he had gained more than he had in the past year.

Although Oakes' exploration of the quantum void does not have complete instruments, Dr. Pym has benefited a lot from the data of existing instruments alone.

During this time, Oakes has seen hundreds of unique beings in the Quantum Void.

All kinds of worms, bacteria, algae, and even look like a cloud of smoke, a color of ......

All sorts of things, and so on.

In short, none of them look like a person.

There are also high and low biological intelligences here, but Oakes has never found the existence of high-level intelligent life.

Their actions are more instinctive, and at most they can reach the level of ordinary beasts in the real world, which is not simple-

Among the hundreds of quantum void creatures, there are only a few that have this level of intelligence.

"Well, Dr. Pym, we're about to explore the next area...... It's good that I'm faster on my side and slower on my side, otherwise our efficiency would be much lower. ”

Oakes contacted Pym again, and after a few days of non-stop exploration, Pym, despite his age, had just gotten a box of Oakes' potions......

At least one bottle is filled, and it is absolutely no problem for him to insist on working overtime for a few days.

If time were reversed, Oaks would work a few days overtime, and Pym would have to sit outside for a few months, the old man, even if he was obsessed with science, would inevitably go crazy.

Especially if you have just received the medicine but can't use it in the right ...... is ideal for use.

"It's good luck with locking us up, how's your research going?"

Pym's voice came, and he was in a good mood:

"If I knew you were going to explore for so long, I should have brought some more gear.

It's very difficult to pull you back now, the area you're exploring is now completely new to us, and even the communication needs to be calibrated frequently.

It takes a lot of time to calibrate your position. ”

"It's okay, I've roughly got the data I want, I just need to retreat for a while, and I can probably go further-

Now take this opportunity and see how far we can go. ”

Oakes has basically analyzed the life characteristics of the microscopic realm, and this time he has condensed the life force, and he already has eight or nine points of certainty.

It's just that what will happen to condense the Life Force in the Quantum Void, no one knows, it's better to go back to the World Tree.

Moreover, the Infinity Stones cannot be used here, and Oakes is missing a very important boost to condense strength.

However, when he stepped into the next area and was about to move on, Pym's communication suddenly took the initiative to connect, and Pym's anxious voice rang out:

"Oaks...... Zizi ...... You...... Multiply...... Occurs time travel...... Lots of target ...... Multiply......

Toot Toot Toot ......"

Quantum communication, which has been proven to be of exceptionally reliable quality for several months, was suddenly interrupted!

"There is an unexpected ......"

Oakes was about to retreat and return to the area just now, but the time and space in this area seemed to change suddenly, and Oakes found that the scenery in the position he had just come from had changed!

He immediately stopped, in the quantum void, there was no external communication and positioning, if he walked around, I am afraid that it would be countless times more dangerous than staying in place!

The complex temporal and spatial changes in this area are clearly the cause of the communication cut-off.

Oakes' face was calm, as he pondered Pym's last communication.

Happening time shuttle, a large number of targets, these are two sentences that can be heard clearly.

Pym's meaning should not be to let himself activate time travel, but to say that in this area, even around him, there is a phenomenon of time travel!

In other words, someone passes through this area and enters or emerges from a deeper quantum channel?

"If the Quantum Void is a higher level of existence than the multiverse space, then this should also be a place independent of the various parallel universes......

In other words, subatomization using Pym particles from various parallel universes, or time travel, will arrive at or pass through this quantum void.

Could it be that it was the Avengers of another parallel universe who launched the time shuttle?

This is also true of the last sentence 'a large number of targets'......"

Oakes thought for a moment, his hand lit up with pure white light, and the semi-solid ball of energy light appeared in his hand again.

“…… No, without the help of Infinity Stones, it is difficult to completely solidify in a short period of time. ”

The strength has been further condensed, but it is still a little short.

"Then let's just go and see......"

Oakes didn't ride the creature here, and walked straight forward.

Then, after a misty cloud of smoke, he stayed where he was.

"That's ...... A city?! ”

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
