Chapter 428 Inspires Fear
On the other side, after Ren Wudao jumped down into the deep fluorescent hole, the specific scene was lost in his field of vision.
Pulling, deformed, and twisted shapes shuttled rapidly, and weird neighing sounds lingered in the ears.
Ren Wudao even felt that he had completely lost his limbs, leaving only an empty consciousness that kept falling.
He didn't know how long this falling situation lasted, until... an endless gray grassland appeared in front of him.
This is a faded wilderness with no life, no sun and moon, no wind, no rain, and even nothing else except gray-white meadows.
Ren Wudao looked down at himself. He saw no hands or feet. He indeed had no body.
It's just a consciousness observing the world in front of you.
He was obviously not looking, but he could clearly perceive everything.
He tried to move. Although he had no body, he could move quickly on this gray grassland with just his thoughts.
This novel experience is easy to get immersed in.
This... feeling of being able to do everything with just your thoughts.
Very good.
Until he "saw" from a distance, at the end of his field of vision, there appeared a... huge tree that could almost be described as covering the sky and the sun.
The closer we got to the tree, the more lush the surrounding gray-white meadow became.
At the same time, as he got closer to the tree, some inexplicable images were projected into his consciousness.
He seemed to see countless scenes passing by.
Maybe a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even hundreds of thousands of years...
Because he "saw" that human beings went from eating hair and drinking blood to establishing countries and emergence of civilization, and the population went from sparse to concentrated explosion...
The history of mankind itself is a history of war. He "saw" the wars that broke out for prey and territory starting from the primitive society in the tribal period. "Saw" the ancient wars after the founding of the country, wars fought for territory and resources.
We have also seen the wars fought between countries to compete for interests and geopolitics after entering modern society...
When there is war, there is crime.
During the outbreak of the human war, images of plunder, massacre, bloodshed, tears, wailing, and blood filled every corner of Ren Wudao's heart.
He "saw" everything and understood the establishment of human order and the evils that could be called hell.
I also "saw" the wisps of black-red substance that rose up after each crime and floated to unknown directions.
"This...is...the origin...of your world..."
An intermittent voice suddenly appeared in Ren Wudao's heart.
"The sins of mankind..." the voice continued, "are the... nourishment of... us..."
After that voice appeared, the picture projected into Ren Wudao's consciousness suddenly changed again.
This time, it turned into those incredible, terrifying and twisted ghosts that he had personally encountered in the fog, or had heard about.
Are they ghosts?
Wait...
They seem to be...
This world...
Life form?
"We...feed on...your...negative emotions..."
"We...the more...distorted...terrible..."
"You...the more...terrible..."
"Shut up!"
Ren Wudao roared in his heart.
He had gradually realized that what the voice said might be true. Those so-called "ghosts" are really life forms from another world fed by human negative emotions.
The more powerful, terrifying, and weird the "ghosts" are, the more negative emotions people have when going to their world.
The more negative emotions overflow, it shows that the human race has certain fatal flaws that cannot be ignored.
"We...are...you..."
The sound stopped suddenly.
The scene in front of Ren Wudao cleared again and returned to the gray-white grassland.
At this time, he was already standing under the giant tree.
In his field of vision, twisted human figures were "looking" at him silently.
In just such a moment, Ren Wudao had already seen many human figures "exploding" like bubbles.
They shattered into crystal dust, quickly melted into the ground, and disappeared completely.
"Okay, don't listen to that voice."
Suddenly, a familiar voice cheered up Ren Wudao's chaotic thoughts.
Sunday!
Yes... According to Zhou Tian, if I become the fish eye in the human world and he becomes the fish eye in the mist world, we can achieve a balance between the two worlds.
The words Zhou Tian said before flashed through Ren Wudao's heart.
But, why am I in the mist world at this moment and he is also in the mist world?
What about the fish eyes in the world?
Wait...
Ren Wudao was surprised to find that Zhou Tian's figure had been revealed, but he still had no form and was still just a consciousness.
A premonition of danger grew in my heart.
But before Ren Wudao could ask, Zhou Tian said: "This voice comes from the only individual among these things that has developed self-awareness. It ran away to the human world many years ago and tried every means to bring it back." The [ethnic group] has also opened up its self-awareness. The so-called fog collection is actually its testing ground.”
"What?" This was the first time Ren Wudao heard this statement.
"You mean, the life form that escaped from the mist has already blended into the human world?"
"Yes, and he has become more and more human-like."
"After so many years, he has found the most effective way, which is to directly feed human consciousness to his tribe, but..."
Zhou Tian's voice paused, and he raised his steps and walked towards Ren Wudao.
Ren Wudao was still thinking about what Zhou Tian had just said. Hearing the words, he couldn't help but ask: "If that's the case, wouldn't it be easy for him to do it?"
"No, human consciousness can indeed feed these things and help them open up their self-awareness, but once human consciousness leaves the body, it will dissipate immediately, and it is impossible to preserve and transfer it."
"Unless..."
Ren Wudao stopped talking again.
"Unless what?"
Ren Wudao asked.
"Unless certain negative emotions in humans are aroused to the limit, fear rooted in human primitive instinct becomes the best choice."
That's it...
In other words, the reason why Wuji exists is that Ren Wudao often feels that the ghosts in Wuji are strange. They seem to be restricted in certain abilities. They can obviously quickly eliminate humans without special abilities, but But can't do that.
Now it seems that this is simply a restriction specially made by the person behind Wuji, because what he wants is not the life of human beings at all, but the life of human beings after they have been enlarged to the limit...
fear.
