Chapter 420: Construction
Since this "database" was most likely built in imitation of the structure of the Zero Realm, what was behind this similar diaphragm that he had seen in the depths of the Zero Realm current?
Is that a magical place where the top holy envoy condensed his will into an immortal mark and implanted it in order to sublimate to the fullest and obtain some of the immortal characteristics?
If you enter there, will you be able to get a glimpse of the mystery of the Apostle of Zero first?
Meng Xuan suddenly felt that even if he didn't get anything on this trip, just what he saw and heard might be worth the ticket price.
"Get past this barrier and we're going to enter the second layer of the 'database', so get ready."
Yun Meng said to Meng Xuan.
"What's it like there? Easy to get lost, you say? ”
Meng Xuan asked Yun Meng.
"Yes, it was supposed to be a 'no-go zone', and basically no player could get there through the 'shallow layer', and that's where our minds were born."
"If I have to describe it, the 'shallow layer' is the place where our bodies are assembled, where our bodies are concretely manifested in the Black Death Paradise, and where all the physical manifestations of the Black Death are founded. The next level is where our minds and consciousness are born, and in the Black Death Paradise, where all the will of 'life' born from the Black Death Paradise originates. ”
"It's like it's made up of extremely real fragments of memory, they have a conscious effect, and if you're not careful, it's easy to get lost in those fragments, and even eventually your memories will become a part of it."
"Actually, since we were born, we haven't been back to that level, and I don't know what's going on there now, but by the way, we usually call that layer 'Daguan'."
Yun Meng said solemnly to Meng Xuan.
"Is that so?"
Meng Xuan was thoughtful when he heard this.
"So, get ready, I'm going to use permissions to open the channel."
Yun Meng took a deep breath, stretched out his palm from the dream bubble, and touched the layer of diaphragm that seemed to hide many runes.
An unknown force poured into the diaphragm, causing it to glow, and Yun Meng's palm became transparent, revealing a large number of flowing data rune chains, pouring into the diaphragm that came into contact with her palm.
The diaphragm melted quickly as if ice had met lava with the infusion of some data power in her body, and a hole appeared that could accommodate the Dream Bubble to enter.
"You'll take care of the rest."
Yun Meng gasped slightly, as if using her authority made her already bad state even more unbearable, and Meng Xuan could faintly see the blue rune chains fluttering from her body.
"Are you alright?"
Meng Xuan frowned and said.
"It's okay, it's still holding on, it's just that manipulating the bubble deep requires your strength, don't wait, this passage will heal in a while, I want to rest for a while."
Yun Meng shook his head and said that he was okay.
Meng Xuan nodded, and continued to manipulate the bubble through the hole made by Yunmeng.
On the other side of the diaphragm, what would it be?
Meng Xuan's heart couldn't help but have a surge of anticipation, would the secret of the Zero Realm Apostle be revealed in front of him in advance?
Airplanes!!
As he passed through the diaphragm, a blue glimmer blinded his eyes.
Soon, he felt like he was in another place, and he couldn't experience the feeling of being washed over by a frenzied stream of data.
His gaze was rapidly recovering, but before he could regain his gaze, a voice came first in his ears.
Whew!!
It seemed to be the sound of something huge slicing through the air and slamming into him at a rapid pace.
"Get out of the way!"
At this moment, Yun Meng's somewhat anxious voice sounded in his ears.
He subconsciously manipulated the dream bubble, he judged the volume of the incoming object according to his sense of hearing, and dodged a wide range of himself to the other side, almost as if teleporting far away, dodging the oncoming object.
Gradually, his eyesight fully recovered, and he could see clearly the object that was crashing into him and flying off into the distance.
That's ······ An island?
No, it's not just an island, it's an island flying in the sky!!
This was a boundless sky with a very gray and gloomy tone, and in this sky, there were some huge things, they were floating islands, and Meng Xuan could see that on these islands, there seemed to be something like an illusion.
This ······ It seems very similar to what he saw in his own consciousness?!
It's just that what he sees in his consciousness is a colorful sky, and the sky here looks gray and gloomy.
That's where that diaphragm comes in? Where did the Apostle of Zero place his sigil to gain immortality?!
Meng Xuan's head couldn't turn a little, was it a coincidence? When he entered the consciousness layer, he was in a space like this, so doesn't that mean that as long as he can condense the imprint of his will of sufficient strength and implant it in that colorful sky, he can fully obtain the apostolic person?
He frowned, he always felt that things might not be so simple, at least the content of the floating islands that existed in that sky was very strange, even if that place was really related to the middle region of the Zero Realm, I am afraid that it would not be possible to implant the imprint so simply, and there was a great hidden danger.
What's more······
Rumble!!
There was a loud bang, the whole sky was shaking, and the huge floating island just now flew all the way out, and did not stop, but collided head-on with another floating island, resulting in a violent explosion, a large amount of debris rolling, and the two islands were damaged in the impact, and then merged, and finally formed a new floating island.
The rules of the floating islands here don't seem to be the same, they move on their own, merging with each other in collisions.
"It's dangerous, those islands are the embodiment of the memory fragments I told you, which is the result of the continuous collision, attraction, and convergence of various consciousness information in the 'Grand View', this phenomenon has created the spiritual core of the copy event, if it is hit, it will be a lot of trouble."
Yun Meng said with a sigh of relief.
"What kind of trouble will it be?"
Meng Xuan asked with some curiosity.
"You also know that quest events all have some kind of 'plot' or 'worldview', and those worldviews are not actually completely fake, at least here, they are real enough."
Yun Meng looked at those floating islands and said with an indescribable complex emotion.
"What do you mean······ Are these floating islands actually a complete 'world'? They have a complete worldview, even indigenous peoples, and those copies of what we have experienced are just events that happened in one part of these 'worlds'? ”
Meng Xuan asked with some surprise.
"In a sense, those worlds are indeed complete, and these memory fragments are all 'memories of the world'. At least in my eyes, the people there are no different from normal people, and to tell you the truth, in fact, I was born in a world on one of these islands, if I hadn't been chosen by the Black Death Paradise, I'm afraid I would have been confused for the rest of my life, and I wouldn't know until I die that it would be a false world that could be shattered at any time·····"
Yun Meng said slowly with an indescribable emotion.
Hearing these words in Meng Xuan's ears made his heart a little cold, looking at the floating islands, some unspeakable thoughts also welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but be a little cold compared to the island illusions he had experienced in the consciousness layer.
Can those really be considered illusions?
The people in it have their own wisdom, their own behavior and habits, their own thoughts, and even their arranged fate, they don't know it, maybe in their concepts, they are real, they are living beings, not just NPCs in the illusion he has experienced.
Maybe one day, like Yunmeng, they will awaken and jump out of the original world, and they will be able to become another kind of existence.
In other words, he didn't know if he was in a similar "illusion" like Yunmeng.
The database is simulating the form of the Zero Realm, so in the Zero Realm, will there be such an illusion?
The rudiments of the kingdom of God, fabricating things at will, and maybe even fabricating the will in the end, what is true and what is false?
What you see and know is not necessarily true, and what you have not seen and never believed is not necessarily false.
The closer you get to the truth of things, the more difficult it is to accept the truth, and it seems that it can subvert human cognition and lead a person to complete madness anytime and anywhere.
Call!!
Meng Xuan took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in his heart, not thinking about these contents that can make people blow their heads and go crazy, just like Yunmeng now, even those natives in the fantasy realm have the possibility of jumping out of the original world.
"What are we going to do next?"
Meng Xuan said to Yun Meng in a deep voice.
Seemingly sensing that Meng Xuan's mental and emotional state was somewhat abnormal, Yun Meng glanced at him a little strangely, not knowing where this abnormality came from.
"Now, we still need to continue to go deeper, into the next layer, the specific method is to keep 'falling', but in this process you have to try to avoid these islands, do not have any contact, the activities of these islands are not regular, and even in a blank space may appear new islands out of thin air, once we have contact with the island, we will be pulled into that illusory world, to get out of those worlds is not only time-consuming, but also more energy-consuming, so please be careful."
Yun Meng said to Meng Xuan.
"I see."
Meng Xuan nodded, manipulating the bubble and starting to continue falling, heading towards the bottom of the entire sky.
In the process of moving, he saw countless floating islands, if it weren't for Yunmeng himself coming out of these worlds, it was hard to imagine that there was a relatively complete world in each of these islands.
"Black Paradise of the Dead, this strange realm really has terrifying power."
Meng Xuan muttered to himself in a low voice.
"That's the greatness of Paradise of the Black Dead."
Yunmeng nodded.
In the continuous falling process, the speed of the two was not fast, because it was necessary to prevent being "touched" by some islands that suddenly moved or appeared, so Meng Xuan maintained a relatively easy to control speed, and did avoid several suddenly fast-moving islands along the way, one of which suddenly appeared beside him and began to move quickly, almost hitting him.
Suddenly, he saw something in the sky that was different from the island, and after seeing the appearance of that thing clearly, his expression was instantly shocked.
It was a huge floating city, but unlike the heart-locked mazes he had seen in his consciousness, these cities were not covered with those incomparably thick shackles.
Here, there are not only floating islands, but also floating cities?
"Those cities, unlike the islands, what are they in?"
Meng Xuan asked Yun Meng quietly, she was born from here, and she should know some of the situation in these cities.
"The cities?"
Yun Meng was surprised when she heard this question.
"I don't know the situation in those cities, I haven't entered them, but I seem to have heard about the situation in these cities, and it seems that the Golden Horn said."
"Among these cities, there should be some illusions like islands, but the worldview of these illusions is more huge, and the form is more stable, at least they will not be destroyed in the impact like these floating islands, their worlds can often exist for a long time, it is said that the golden horn was born in a certain floating city."
I don't know if it's because of the reason for talking about the golden horn, Yun Meng's voice suddenly seemed very low.
Is it a more stable fantasy with a larger worldview and a complete structure?
Meng Xuan heard Yun Meng's description thoughtfully, this didn't sound much different from the floating island, but in his consciousness layer, why did these cities be sealed with chains?
Looking at those cities, he was a little nervous, if he could go in and experience it himself, maybe he would have a better understanding of the situation inside, and help him solve the mystery of those heart-locked mazes.
"Those worlds are very stable, and they often produce extremely difficult copy events, their world energy level is very high, if you rush in, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out in a short time, don't do stupid things."
Yun Meng looked at Meng Xuan vigilantly and said.
"That's a pity."
Meng Xuan made up his mind that when the time came, he would definitely enter one of the cities to study the state there, but now was indeed not the time.
The two of them fell all the way, and the islands kept changing, seemingly endless, but there were always only a few cities.
I don't know how long it took, but they seem to have finally reached the bottom.
Meng Xuan looked down and saw an endless dark vortex.
