Chapter 4 Transcendence

The sundial tower is also a well.

The young man was not sure who had made the well. In his opinion, this may be the well he once saw, a remnant of the Gear Man after he survived the Netherworld, and a footnote to the remnants of the history of the Hanging Garden's demise, but it may also be imitated and recast by later generations.

He is not a samurai, and even if he has a barrage mound, he can't distinguish the delicate language on the glass.

At that time, Gu Chuan thought:

"There will always be man-made wells...... If it's not a well, it's a tower. One is up and the other is down, both of which are tools to extend the cognitive field of animals. ”

After he cut open the well, he pressed his transparent wings against the transparent sides of the well, and saw that the top of his head was a ruthless cut left by an unknown number of years ago, and the bottom of his feet was a dark abyss.

"Where are we going? Is it to the top? ”

Ji Yuan took the young man's hand, swinging in the air, following his gaze, looking down, and then looking up, curiously asking.

I don't know what kind of biological material the transparent wings rubbed against the glass, emitting very little light, barely illuminating the surrounding rock and soil.

He has gone down:

"We're going to go down and go to a very deep, deep place, maybe thousands of meters, maybe tens of thousands of meters deep."

The well is deep and dark, and this friction does not illuminate the road ahead.

The eyes of young people are nothing remarkable, they are the eyes of the most ordinary people. But the eyes of the canister can light the way forward. Looking down from a distance, I saw that the glass built on the rock and soil had extended to the bottom of the endless ground, passing through the aquifer. Inside the glass, there is a kind of track that is written in the record for moving the chamber up and down.

There is no rust on the tracks.

The closed ground well is close to a vacuum and there is no possibility of oxidation. Over time, the orbit has undergone some unknown deformations, but it seems that it can still be used.

The Gear Man kid asks:

"When we get to the bottom of the well, we're going back to the top again, right? At that point, are we going to continue south? ”

He said:

"You can think about it yourself, what do you want to do?"

Jiyuan shook his head and raised the bar and said:

"This ...... I haven't figured this out yet! I'm asking you now! ”

The young man laughed at the childishness of the distance, but he was awakened by the question. He had a good guess about his future and thought about it seriously. He said:

"If it were business as usual, I would have stayed on the edge of the river, waiting for the days to pass away."

Jiyuan sighed and said:

"......Shh Then sir, you'll be relaxed, I'm going to go on the road by myself to answer questions! ”

Gu Chuan tapped Ji Yuan's head with his left hand:

"Why, do you want me to accompany you on your way?"

The child replied slyly:

"I think so. But it's okay not to be with you......"

"Why is it good?"

"Because then what I know is what you know, and what I know grows, and what you know grows, and I can never know more than you know! So you stay here, I'll go to the end of the world, and when the time comes, what I know will one day surpass yours, and when I come back, I can tell you things you don't know! Instead of being like now, you know everything, and I don't know at all......"

"That's exactly what happened."

Gu Chuan nodded.

Jiyuan raised his head, looked at the old man, and continued to say proudly:

"When that happens, I'll tell you a lot of things you don't know...... Wouldn't it be nice for you to become as much as I know? ”

It saw Gu Chuan laugh again, and then gently shushed him, telling him to look down with him.

It turned its eyes down, only to see the outside of the increasingly transparent glass, and many pairs of eyes without the white of the eyes were looking at it. It was startled, and hugged the young man's thigh in horror, only to realize in the young man's laughter that the textures were just various rocks.

The textures resembled petrified people, tall, short, fat, thin, male, female, young, and old, and further down, he saw animals other than humans, and these animals were exaggerated, and the bodies of the huge ones seemed to cross the distance of thousands of them together, and the small ones were only a stone attached to the former.

I was dizzy for a while, and I almost fainted. He could no longer tell which textures belonged to animals and which belonged to plants, he only thought that he had seen the trajectory of countless human creatures in history.

"What is this?"

It shouted.

Gu Chuan said to it:

"We have reached the bottom of the Mother Earth interface, and we see the ark of animals spending the end of the universe. This ark may allow the dead to open their eyes in the distant and distant future. ”

The Gear Man could not understand this concept, so the Gear Man's body, including the brain, was passed down from generation to generation after being cleaned.

The mother layer is the bottom of the hill, but it is not the bottom of the river. They have gone to the surface of the river for thousands of kilometers, thousands of meters. The deeper they got, the gravitational pull didn't change much, the transparent wings were still slowing them down with the same force as the top, and the rocks in the shape of countless creatures were only fleeting.

Continuing on, the surface of more rocks can no longer distinguish the so-called shape from the appearance, leaving only the mystery of the years. Looking more closely from a distance, you can only see the subtle textures on the glass, some like five-pointed stars, some like asymmetrical fish shapes, and some are oblate pieces, but no matter what they look like, it is no longer clear whether they are living things, the remains of a part of a living thing, or a simple rock.

In this process, the solid shape of the stone gradually disappeared in front of their eyes, spreading out evenly like a liquid, and the explorers could no longer distinguish the age and size of the stone, nor could they see the time and history on the stone. I saw that all things fell into pure darkness.

It was eerily silent. Matter gradually tends to some kind of infinite and pure uniformity, like the initial chaos of all things.

They see nothing, they see nothing.

"I'm a little scared of ......"

He preached timidly from afar.

The light fell into the darkness and disappeared in a moment.

The young man said:

"Don't be afraid, change will come."

He wondered where he would go if he dug through the earth. Will it reach the other side of the sunset world like Earth? Is that the hanging garden?

The trip down to the well is like leaving all the time behind.

In the infinite silence, at some point, a faint point of light that could not tell whether it was blue or red emerged from the deep darkness, followed by more bits and pieces, and then clusters, clusters, like the stars and moonlight reflected in the water, began to emerge upward.

Far from reading the relevant books, it is confused:

"Why is that?"

The young man did not know, and he said:

"Maybe it's because we've already crossed the body interface."

In the theory of Zaiyi, the body interface is the last limit at which matter can have shape. Matter that crosses the interface of the form will completely lose its shape and contour. In the usual sense, it is liquefaction or gasification.

The liquid seems to have no shape, and its shape is the shape of the container.

But in reality, this is not the case, according to the knowledge of young people, the reason why liquids are forced to stay in the shape of the container is because of the hindrance of gravity. The natural shape of the liquid, which can be found in a vacuum, is spherical.

"But isn't it unfair to say that?" "Because the natural shape of a solid is nothing more than a force against gravity, it can still deform when faced with stronger forces." ”

As far as he could see, the changes in matter that took place through the interface of the body seemed ...... It was far deeper than liquefaction, and reminded him of the infinite aperture that seemed to be at the edge of the world in the perspective of the dragon's heart.

It's a pity that in this day and age, there are only two pairs of eyes watching all this.

"According to Zaiyi's words, next, there is the shape and quality interface."

Whoever crosses that interface, whether solid, liquid, or gas, all matter will completely lose all its properties and be reduced to the realm of pure matter.

It can be hundreds of kilometers deep, or it can be tens of thousands of kilometers deep.

They no longer knew the distance and time, they could only see the boundless wandering light around them, and they could only see something concrete gradually appearing under them.

"It's ...... Chambers. ”

The young man felt in his heart that he might be close to the bottom of the morphological interface.

The beginning of the dissociation of the qualitative means that the concept of shape has been completely lost. In other words, any structure made of matter will at most come to the edge of the morphological interface, and beyond that, no matter how strong the matter is, it will not be able to maintain itself.

He carried a long way into the chamber together, carefully opened the door from the top, and turned into the chamber. The furnishings in the chambers are the same as ever.

He stood in front of the door and took a deep breath.

Jiyuan was a little afraid to make a sound, only to watch the old man gently unscrew the gears and open the door.

Gu Chuan's eyes flashed, and he felt a heat higher than the sun, like some kind of smoke that was hundreds of degrees, almost making his blood at the same high temperature boil.

He immediately used all his strength to fight the wind and closed the door. In that instant, he felt nausea and vomiting. His wings trembled.

"Do you see anything?"

He turned his head and saw that Jiyuan seemed to be heating up, and it shrank into a corner, and its whole body was shaking:

"I ...... I didn't see anything, it didn't seem like there was anything inside, I just felt 'hot' and uncomfortable. ”

It took a while for the distance to recover.

Heat, a radiation of energy.

The room at the bottom of the well was empty, as if it were filled with an indescribably turbid gas. This gas may also not be a gas...... If anything, it was more like the radiation after the decay of matter, and the light pressure caused the air in the chamber to retreat, forming a strange burst of hot wind.

"That's right...... Matter will be destroyed. ”

The young man thought, and he slowed down a little in the compartment, and groped for the control of the compartment. The method of control is no different from the one used by Zijin or the one used by the carrier, which is a one-way gear.

He rested in his chair for a moment, feeling a slightly sweet, rusty smell in his mouth.

The surrounding firelight flickered, mingling with the distant gaze, illuminating the young man's face. It was clear that one side of the door was hot, but the other side of the door was extremely cold. All the wounds on his body, his left hand, right hand, shoulder, head, chest, legs, back, and abdomen were aching.

This pain is not fake. It was as if he could recall every battle in the past, and the medals that each battle left for himself.

Jiyuan said worriedly:

"Let's go! It's already at the bottom......"

The inside of the glass is infinitely quiet, and the loneliness quietly pursues the memories of the past for yourself. The young man breathed anxiously:

"It's not to the bottom, it's not thereβ€”"

Jiyuan said in disbelief:

"We're at the bottom. That's the end of the well! ”

The bottom of the world is not utterly dark, but remarkable for a strange sight. His whole body went limp, and looking at the reflected light, he remembered the bonfire that he had once lit in the cave with Hatsuyun under the moon. The stars of the bonfire rose into the sky, lighting up the dark night.

The high of the world is poor, so its low should also be there.

He said:

"It's not a mile yet, but it can go down to a deeper ......"

Jiyuan thought that the old man was confused, and was extremely anxious, and wanted to grab his hand, but he opened it. He said with a pleading gaze, almost prayerfully:

"Enough is enough! Now you can go back! It's impenetrable, didn't you say it was the realm below the morphological interface? According to the record in the glass book, it doesn't mean ...... Below this interface, matter loses both its shape and its 'nature'...... Is it completely mixed? This is the water that melts everything, and it is the end of the world! ”

The young man raised his eyes and staggered to his feet.

"According to the habits of your race, you don't have a coming-of-age ceremony yet......"

He said.

Jiyuan looked at him with a pair of eyes open.

With trembling hands, he took off the lion's fur from his body, and then trembled and draped it over his body far away. He said:

"Now, you stay here, and if you don't see me, use this thing to ascend."

I saw the old man's expression from a distance, as if he was in some kind of distant sleep.

For a long time, he held his hand tightly in the distance.

For him, it's a hand-carrying hand.

"Goodbye, goodbye!"

As he spoke, he finally let go of his hand, then turned around and grasped the gear that opened the door. The distant points of light around him were like stars floating in the boiling water, and he heard the familiar sound of water in his ears, a great river that was about to fill the fields. The sound of the river is like the ocean.

The sound of rushing water seemed to be about to sweep the explorer away completely. No one expected this exploration, and no one supported it. Alone in the water, he struggled to say to himself:

"Go, go, go to the other side, the road is still here......"

"If you can't wear it, don't go down!"

Jiyuan shouted loudly.

"No, it's not."

He replied firmly:

"It's well-dressed."

"Then you say! What can pass through? ”

He opened the door. In the room at the bottom of the well, the light pressure and hot air from the remnants of the past life forms pressed on him again, but he felt that he was still alive, very real.

He didn't look back:

"Memory, it's memory. I have a memory. ”

"What memory?"

The distant sound gradually became unreachable, and the gear man seemed to be about to cry. It tried to catch up with the old man, but a terrible shiver made it almost impossible to stand up straight in front of the hot wind, and the limbs of its body were no longer as if they did not belong to it. And the man mercilessly closed the door before the gearman could move. Then the young man himself leaned against the door, gasping for air.

Now, the old man's whole body was weak, he couldn't exert any strength, and his eyes could barely see anything.

The world is already dark. There is no hope of being able to penetrate the depths of the earth. The universe is like a closed eggshell, and he is a bird that is about to die in the egg.

But the old man said to himself, hold on a little longer, it's about to come. Without hesitation, he walked forward step by step, and in the middle of the substance that had lost its qualitative nature, in the outermost part of the Tai Chi world, he raised the flow of water.

The surface of the stream is also melting and disappearing.

At that time, Gu Chuan's voice could no longer be heard in the distance, only the spiritual language containing countless information was slowly transmitted, like a great water, flowing through the fields and mountains. He heard him say in a quiet voice that did not look like a mortal:

"I have a memory from another world."

So...... There must be something that can go through it all. Otherwise, how can I explain this memory?

Quietly thought about the flowing water.

"You're going to die!"

Far Away shouted, but the silence of the world was like a vast ocean. It was as if it was just looking down on an abyss that was both the beginning and the end, and it couldn't do anything.

And he had stood at the end of the horizon haunted by light, embracing the abyss.

The flow gently punctures the surface of the glass on the soles of the feet. With a screech, the otherwise intact matter lost its ability to sustain itself and shattered downward. The shards of glass melted into the water and disappeared into the sea of matter, and wisps of smoke rose from the current, as if they were evaporating.

At that time, his eyes could not see himself, and he only knew that the sea of pure material had already flooded the small stream.

The abyss gently opened its huge jaw, swallowing up the turbid current that dared to challenge.

There was no movement at all, he felt as if he was floating in his mother's womb, digging underground, slowly drifting through nothingness.

Staying far away in the chamber, I waited for a long time before I heard the innocent call of the young man:

"Mom, Chuyun, there are a lot of bubbles here, like our world!"

After that, it never heard anything else.
