The severed "reason" no longer maintains an orderly and stable connection as before.

All the elements that make up the world are connected by "reason".

The visible sun, moon and stars, river valleys, mountains, fish, insects, birds and beasts, the invisible alternation of day and night, the change of seasons, gravity, speed, climate, and temperature all become chaotic in an instant under the pull of the broken "reason".

In an instant, in front of Zheng Xiu's eyes, even though it was empty, the "world" that could still barely maintain its operation became chaotic when Shirley swung the "quick knife that cut everything", and there was no longer any reason!

Wow!

The ground cracked into countless pieces, the heavens and the earth reversed, the sun sank, and the moon and the sun vied for glory in the earth's wrappings.

The two extreme energies, hot and cold, pull and destroy everything around them like ripples. The surface of the earth, which was broken into pieces and twisted into ropes, melted into gas by hitting the scorching sun one second, and the next second because of the cold of the moon, the vaporized land suddenly turned into black crystals.

Vaporization, sublimation, liquefaction, and solidification, the physical phenomena that Zheng Xiu could distinguish were staged quickly and disorderly beside Shirley.

"Whew!"

The terrifying heat was like a sharp blade scraping towards Zheng Xiu's skin, Zheng Xiu didn't have time to defend, and in an instant, bubbles bubbled up on his skin, tearing off and peeling off, revealing the bones and sinew that had been roasted.

Just a momentary change is like the end times. In fact, the "ship" called the world has long ceased to exist under Shirley's simple and crude sword.

"It's ...... Wrong! ”

Zheng Xiu's face was not shocked, and the flying knife in his hand was covered with a layer of black light as crystal clear as ink jade, and it shot out silently.

Pitch-black knives flickered in the chaos of the scene.

After Shirley cut off the "reason" around her, even the "space" was no longer an immutable single-layer structure, and the flying knives shot out were like being trapped in a maze, flashing back and forth, bumping around like blind flies, unable to find an exit or direction.

[Fix]!

But what is attached to the flying knife is nothing else, but Zheng Xiu's natal authority, the power of [Correction].

The scurrying knives emitted bursts of ripples that even the divine eye might not be able to see, and fled to the surrounding area. The sunken sun and moon hung high in the sky again, the shattered space was restored as before, the shattered surface returned to solidity, fell to the ground, and the rolled up sea level returned to calm.

Where the flying knife passed, the distortion was "corrected" and the chaos was "calmed", but the above-mentioned drastic changes only passed in the blink of an eye, half a breath, and a glance, and in less than a tenth of a second, Zheng Xiu had completed the "correction" of most of the "principles", so that the principles of the world that were about to collapse could barely be maintained back to a functionable state.

Sou!

The black flying knife that flickered in the void finally penetrated the broken spatial labyrinth and shot towards Shirley in an instant of a tenth of a second.

Shirley smiled, the "quick knife" in both hands retracted little by little, and a firm piece of flesh bulged on the back of her upper arm, which was a sign that the "Defensive Artifact Might" was about to be launched.

Zheng Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and the Shirley at this moment was no longer the Shirley he knew.

The existence of the name "Shirley" is like the "demon monk" with seven personalities stationed in the town of Seven Hearts, and Shirley, who was stationed with the "Seven Gods", has already evolved into a new life named "Shirley" under the superposition of various factors.

But the existence named "Shirley" still obeys the most basic "restriction": her artifact cannot be used at the same time!

Is it a flaw left on purpose?

Or is it a weakness that has to be done?

Everything happened between the lightning and flint, and before Shirley's "majesty" could take shape, the flying knife came to Shirley.

The smile on Shirley's face froze, revealing a look of horror.

This small throwing knife doesn't have the power to destroy the world.

But what is hidden above makes the seven gods in Shirley's body, and the unknown shadow hidden behind the seven gods, feel inexplicable fear and unease.

"Shirley" opened her mouth wide, the corners of her mouth split to the sides, strange and hideous, as if she wanted to bite the throwing knife with her mouth.

suddenly

Shirley's face was cracked, and in each of them there were teeth, mucous membranes, and tongues.

It's like more mouths.

One mouth said: "Flash!" ”

"It's going to be 'fixed'!"

"Arnold is so hungry, I want to eat!"

"It's him!"

Laugh at!

Seven mouths make sounds at the same time.

Shirley's open mouth freezes.

The flying knife strangely deflected at a slight angle, and flew into the distance against Shirley's cheeks, ears, and face, and disappeared.

Slashed by a throwing knife, Shirley's face was not wounded.

There was a black whisker overflowing from that place, and each one by one the whiskers seemed to repair Shirley's sliced skin, but then the tentacles crumbled like fine powder, and the fine powder flew away, revealing a face that was fairer and more delicate than before.

Shirley stepped back quickly, her face looking different.

The shaved half of the face was dazed, helpless, and fragile.

The unshaved half of the face was hideous, angry, and frightened.

"Shirley" touched the half of her face affected by "Correction" and let out a terrible scream.

"Ahh

Shirley and Zheng Xiu disappeared together in this shattered and restored uninhabited world.

As soon as Zheng Xiu's eyes closed and opened, the moment he was cut off by Shirley, he only had time to throw out a knife, and he was sent out of this world by a black beam of light, like a channel.

The "invasion channel" connecting the two worlds all collapsed, and the moment Zheng Xiu was squeezed out of the world, he was soaked in a black viscous "liquid".

Black Source Sea!

Sink.

Sink.

Sink.

Sink......

……

"Gollum."

……

Zheng Xiu had imagined countless times what it was like to be immersed in the legendary "source".

"Source" is a "huge" aggregate of all the "everything" that makes up his cognition, such as matter, immaterial, rules, and forces, which is broken down into the smallest unit.

"The world is a ship, and outside the ship is the endless sea."

"And human beings are just a speck of dust in the sea."

"That's true of everything."

A strange voice appeared in Zheng Xiu's ears.

[Who?] 】

Zheng Xiu wanted to speak, but as soon as the thought of "speaking" arose, he "lost", as if something had erased his thought.

"There are only three types of people who can roam freely in the source sea without relying on any 'flying gear', entropy, disorder hunters, and us."

"And you, barely in the 'fourth category'."

[Who?] 】

[Who's talking?] 】

"Everyone is born in this era, it must be meaningful, even if the meaning of everyone's life is so 'small', but these tiny sparks, once gathered in a person's body, will eventually erupt with anger enough to sting the eyes of the gods."

"We will be the 'tinder' and light the fireworks."

[Yes...... Who? 】

"The 'birth' of every life in the source sea has a meaning."

"That's the nature of life."

"It's also an innate 'position.'"

But is it that our efforts, our suffering, all that we have been through over the years, ...... Doesn't it all make any sense? ”

【……】

"yes, it doesn't make any sense."

【…………】

"Look! The child is born! ”

"Congratulations, it's a boy!"

"I'm a dad!"

【……】

"You waste, a waste that even Jindan can't form!"

"What about the waste, my life is up to me!"

"Look, waste is waste, even blood is dirty."

【……】

"I want to die."

"Then go die."

"Okay."

【……】

"Ah...... The Lord is not above the gods. ”

"Juggernauts are 'failures.'"

"It's all of them, but they're not qualified to accept the 'all' waste at the end."

"We are all the products of discarding."

"It became a symbol, it became a ...... The cradle has become the cornerstone and the ridiculous nourishment. ”

【………………】

"Whether it is birds, beasts, fish and insects, pigs, sheep, cats and dogs, or gods, or even the ......"

"The life of all things is doomed from the beginning of its birth."

"All the efforts are meaningless."

"No...... Any sense. ”

【？ 】

"It's ...... Destiny. ”

"I hate fatalism. 】

More voices came into Zheng Xiu's head.

The transmission of sound does not depend on conventional media.

Immersed in the pitch-black source, different people, different lives, even plants, sky, earth, dust from different worlds, or flowing air, bit by bit, chaotic and uncontrollable, like an explosion, frantically squeezed into Zheng Xiu's brain.

At first, Zheng Xiu could vaguely distinguish what "those" were saying, but as more and more "information" flowed in, Zheng Xiu couldn't hear it clearly.

He was dazed and immersed in the boundless "darkness", losing the ability to speak, he stopped thinking, he stopped responding, and accepted the jumbled thoughts in his head like a corpse.

In the end, Zheng Xiu only had one thought left:

[Is this what it's like to be mentally ill?] 】

Zheng Xiu sank little by little.

He felt his thoughts drift away little by little.

"Buzz buzz—"

A hundred? A thousand? 10,000 people? Billions of people?

Countless voices rang out at the same time, and finally turned into a buzzing noise.

What's strange is that these noises should have made people very irritable, but Zheng Xiu's mood at the moment was extremely calm, more and more calm.

He stretched out his hand, and in the darkness he seemed to see his own.

Zheng Xiu looked at every hair and pore of his body, and there were strands of "silk threads" as thin as hairs escaping, merging into the dark sea of sources little by little.

He seemed to see that in the hair-thin "thread", if magnified countless times, there were infinitesimal numbers, "1" and "0".

What is it? 】

[Binary? 】

Zheng Xiu thought hard.

He didn't have pain, but his current situation made him more miserable than pain.

"Everything" that belongs to Zheng Xiu, including the body, the human soul, and the mind, is being "lost" in a way that Zheng Xiu cannot understand.

Here, there is no time, no space, no reason, no rules, Zheng Xiu doesn't know how long it has been, he doesn't know how deep he sank, and he doesn't know how long this situation will last.

Everything is "unknown".

Even the "loss" itself, Zheng Xiu can't be sure.

Slay?

Corrode?

Erode?

Exterminate?

Destroy?

One concept after another flashed in Zheng Xiu's mind, but these "concepts" that he could understand were denied by Zheng Xiu one by one. No, it's neither. This loss of origin is more like a kind of ...... "deletion".

Or rather...... "assimilation".

Little by little, he is becoming part of the "Black Source Sea".

Zheng Xiu suddenly understood why he could hear those strange sounds.

"Everything" is here.

They were once alive, but they have all become a part of this ocean.

Whether it is life, matter, the world, God, or the master, everything Zheng Xiu can think of, or can't think of, has become a part of his eyes.

This is the "collective".

It's a huge "aggregate".

Whether Zheng Xiu is a god or a master, or just a human being.

What he was about to lose was the very thing called "me".

He will lose the concept of "I".

He will be the "source".

He will be like "them", without distinguishing one another.

…………

……

…

"Hmph, scum."

The soft ball of meat gently pressed on Zheng Xiu's back.

The sudden "touch", in the dark depths where the five senses gradually disappear, this softness seems to be a beam of light in the night.

"I finally understood,"

It was Annie's voice.

"The moment you pass through the quadrant, the existence called 'elegance' has been 'backtracked'."

"It's 'I' who remains, I'm just Anne, that's all."

This was the first time Anne had spoken to Zheng Xiu in such a tired tone.

"The funny thing is that I actually knew it all along, but I just wouldn't admit it."

"My name is Anne."

"The only purpose of my existence is to push out the 'correction' in the here and now, in the depths of this sinking place."

"Heh~"

Anne chuckled, "I hate fatalism. ”

Kiss.

Zheng Xiu was ejected.

A blood-red eyeball was looking forward to it above, and the eyeball cracked, just in time to catch Zheng Xiu, who was ejected from the sea.
