Chapter 443: Die together
Zhou Tian has never been a lunatic, and every step he has taken so far has been within his expectations.
It can be said that he single-handedly contributed to the birth of Bai Yanren.
Why?
Because he discovered that the world in the Mist Realm is a world without "consciousness".
Then, the first creature in the mist world to give birth to self-awareness is born with the ability to mobilize all the strange abilities of the mist world.
And this is also the reason why Bai Yan people can gather the mist and order the residual slough.
However, Zhou Tian created Bai Yanren through Meng Zhen's hand, not to create a god of the fog world, but to conduct an experiment.
Experiments on the direction of life's evolution.
Unfortunately, Bai Yanren was a failed experiment.
Creatures in the mist world have no concept of lifespan. The so-called life and death are actually just transforming from one form to another. They have not disappeared, but... As Bai Yanren himself said, the residuals without self-awareness are Sloughing off, even if you have eternal life, is not alive.
A stone that has been silent for thousands of years is indeed more exciting than a human being can in just a few decades, but that kind of excitement is that the stone itself does not have any perception ability.
It just exists.
The same is true for residual sloughs. Although they cycle through life and death and will not dissipate, they do not have any self-awareness at all, and they are not considered alive.
Zhou Tian originally thought that by awakening the residual self-awareness, he could achieve true eternal life of "having self-awareness, and the body is immortal."
He even thought about how to transfer his consciousness to Can Shao's body.
However, Bai Yanren's failure gave him a blow.
The remnant of the person named Bai Yan did indeed appear successfully, but from the moment self-awareness emerged, the essence of his life has also completely changed.
Self-awareness and his ontological existence are completely contradictory and cannot coexist.
The only way is to constantly replenish the residual slough, treat the remaining residual slough as consumables, and live day by day.
This road won't work.
Because Zhou Tian himself is not a native creature of the Mist Realm, nor is he the first creature in the Mist Realm to have self-awareness.
Everything in the mist world was marked by Bai Yanren at the moment when the first consciousness was born. He was a step too late.
This also led to the fact that Bai Yanren could let Canshu take the initiative to "send death" and absorb Canshu, but Zhou Tian, who created him, could not do it.
But Bai Yanren also has other functions.
For example, he is the first real creature in the Mist Realm, and the fundamental law of the Mist Realm is that consciousness changes matter. The source of the power of all evil ghosts lies in the Mist Realm Law. Therefore, as long as Bai Yanren is willing, he can use his own His will mobilizes everything in the mist world, even... the mist world itself.
A plan quickly took shape in Zhou Tian's mind.
The nature of residual slough is equivalent to a devastating blow to the material world.
But the huge energy generated when the two worlds collide is also unimaginably terrifying.
It was enough to turn his body into energy and truly achieve eternal life.
Although Bai Yanliang gradually figured out these plans.
But there was one more thing that he couldn't figure out anyway.
That is, Zhou Tian is obviously just a human, how does he control these residual sloughs to gather into giant insects?
How did he transform the energy condensed after the giant sloughing insect devoured the human world into the power to sublimate his body?
He simply can't bear it...
wrong.
It must be that the most critical information is missing...
Bai Yanliang stared at the sky, and he did not stop moving because of Bai Yanren's disappearance.
The world was crumbling, but his heart was stronger than ever. There are many bad places in this world, but...
I met a lot of people...a lot of good people.
Nothing tests human nature more than the struggle between life and death.
However, it was the life and death that Wu Zhong experienced together.
Only then did this blank paper of mine, which did not know how to cry, laugh, feel, feel, or feel, slowly gain color.
From the girl surnamed Jiang who was willing to risk her life to confront ghosts and remind everyone at the beginning, to the policeman who was willing to sacrifice for everyone, to the policeman who became more and more familiar with each other and became more and more sad when parting, who had become a companion. , people like Qi Nian.
It is they who taught themselves what... is real living.
This is also the reason why I asked my brother "whether self-awareness is the most important" just now.
He clearly has self-awareness and knows that he only has one life.
Clearly knowing what is most precious.
But there will still be some people among humans.
They are willing to give up life, consciousness, existence and disappear completely for the emotions and beliefs stirring in their hearts.
It was only after realizing this that I completely cleared away the confusion in my heart and understood what I really wanted to do.
I.
Bai Yanliang.
At this moment, I am the first living being in the mist world, and the mist world at this moment is controlled by my will.
The next moment.
The huge Mist World Mother Tree above the sky suddenly stopped coming.
No...it's not that it stopped coming, but that it changed direction!
The roots of the mother tree in the mist world quickly stretched out their overwhelming roots and wrapped themselves around the giant sloughed insects that were frantically eating away at the real world!
The moment the roots wrapped around the giant insect, Zhou Tian's face appeared again on the giant insect's back, and he stared at Bai Yanliang.
"Do you know what you are doing? The body of this insect is now in chaos. The devoured remains of reality are mixed with the original power of the mist world. The mother tree of the mist world cannot absorb it at all, and it will wither and die!"
As if in agreement with his words.
Under the control of Bai Yanliang's consciousness, the mother tree wrapped its roots around the giant insect and frantically absorbed its power. However, the mother tree itself was withering rapidly, and its huge leaves withered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The branches also gradually shrank and shriveled.
If this continues, the Mist Realm mother tree supporting the Mist Realm will really wither to death.
However, Bai Yanliang didn't seem to care, and instead said to Zhou Tian:
"If you can absorb it, why can't I?"
After that, Bai Yanliang closed his eyes, and his body flew into the air like a god. No matter how the wind roared and the thunder spread, it could not shake him at all.
Bai Yanliang felt... every inch of the roots, trunks, branches, and leaves of the Mist Realm Mother Tree was conveying painful messages to him.
However, Bai Yanliang still ignored it and used his consciousness to accelerate the absorption of the energy from the giant insect.
This desperate attitude finally made Zhou Tian panic.
"You are crazy! The mother tree is what supports the sky in the mist world! If it dies, the mist world will collapse directly and smash the world to pieces!"
Bai Yanliang looked at the human face behind the giant insect: "You said that the mother tree died, the mist world lost its support, smashed into the human world, and the human world was destroyed. The mist world was controlled by you, gradually eroding the human world, and the human world was destroyed. Judging from the results, what is the result? Different?”
"No, right?"
Bai Yanliang showed the most sincere and natural smile since he was alive and awake: "Then why should I help you?"
"Let's die together, Dr. Zhou."
