Chapter 552: Realm of Consciousness: Toward the World
After leaving his last words, the figure of Emperor Star slowly disappeared among the stars.
Yu Cang opened his mouth and wanted to ask more questions, but Emperor Xing no longer gave him a chance to ask questions.
Soon, the space became quiet. The distant stars who didn’t know how far away outlined the light of meteors on the horizon. Yu Cang suddenly felt a strange power coming from around him. Pull away, at this time, he can leave this place at any time.
When Emperor Xing was here just now, he felt like he was in a lucid dream. Although he could realize that it was a dream, he could not wake up.
Now, he already felt that he could wake up at any time.
However, he was not in a hurry to go back, but began to look at the world around him.
He was already very sure about where this place was at this time.
Star Sight!
And it is a deep level that he has not yet been able to reach.
There are depths of starry sky vision, and what he can touch now is still a very shallow area.
If you explore deeper, you will no longer be able to dominate just by relying on the body of perfect rhythm. Strength will also become a necessity.
The star arsenals brought by the princess are now sleeping in the deep starry sky, waiting for Yu Cang to be awakened when he has enough strength.
Yu Cang took a deep breath, raised his feet, and started walking in the nearby area.
Compared with the shallow layer, the background here is purer, with only darkness and pure starlight. As for the rhythms that should be visible, none of them can be seen.
La once told Tai Cang some common sense about the star field, which is the "realm of consciousness".
In layman's terms, the starry sky can be understood as the earth, and different depths represent different "eras".
As we all know, due to plate movement, in some areas, rocks and soil will be deposited layer by layer. The deeper the place, the older the history of the stone. Geologists can obtain information from tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years ago by examining different layers of geology.
The same is true for the Starry Sky Vision - every era, the Starry Sky Vision will completely disappear once.
Because this is the intertwining sight of the stars, so when the stars go out, the starry sky will gradually fade and cease to exist... As the wilderness spreads, it is certain that the stars will go out.
However, there are traces of existence. Starry Sky Vision is equivalent to a huge library that records all the rhythms of an era. Even if the library is bombed, there is still a chance that some of the records in it will be left behind.
These records left behind... will settle to the very depths. Then, when the stars of the next era light up one by one, a new starry sky will be born and evolve on top of it.
It is conceivable that those who can still survive when the "library" disappears... must be those who are so powerful that they can even stay in the world of consciousness for a long time. The existence of an indelible mark!
Celestial bodies are the easiest to leave traces.
Yu Cang’s gaze swept across the starry sky.
"I can't see any rhythm at all, but I can still see the starry sky, but it's just more empty... According to what La said, this should be the third layer of the starry sky, 'towards the world'."
As the name suggests, , this is the boundary between the "past world" and the "present world". From here, if you dive deeper, you can see some rhythms from the last era.
The records of the Nameless Empire include many archaeological documents of the previous era. Most of them were archaeologically obtained from the deep starry sky...or, in other words, entering the deep realm of consciousness. It is almost the only archeological method of the past era.
It is not that simple to enter the deep realm of consciousness.
Don’t look at the division, the world is only the third level, but looking at the star realm, there are only a few civilizations that can reach this level.
In itself, just the most basic prerequisite of entering the consciousness world has blocked 99.9% of civilizations, and for each deeper level, the required technology is exaggerated countless times.
Only beings like Roland Sky Realm and the Nameless Empire who have developed the realm of consciousness to the extreme can reach this level.
For example, the star armory of the Nameless Empire moves in the real world and can release war celestial bodies to the first and second floors at any time. Only then can it have such terrifying suppressive power over various worlds... and You can travel between the star world and the small world at any time.
I can hit you, but you can’t even see me. This is the horror of the technological generation gap.
For individuals, it is even more difficult to reach the third level.
The first level is where Yu Cang is. All the rhythms of the world are recorded here. As long as you have enough talent, you can easily enter and observe the world from the level of rhythm.
On this level, there are no secrets for Yu Cang. He can come and go when he wants, and he can also see through direct contact with the Rhythm Body. Some deeper rhythms.
However, this "deeper layer" is still within the first layer and does not touch the next layer.
When Yu Cang can continue to go deeper and break through the limitations of the starry sky with the body of rhythm, he will be able to enter the second level.
The second level is the past of the current era.
Tens of billions of years have passed in this era. During this period, countless civilizations have perished and lost skills have been lost. The traces of their existence are all recorded in the second layer of the star field.
This is a chaotic starry sky. The traces of rhythm are disordered, conspicuous and dense, even covering up the starlight in the distance. There is no telling how many evil civilizations have stored some "polluted" knowledge there. Here, explore here, and you will be contaminated with taboos if you are not careful!
It can range from a mental injury and amnesia, to a severe condition where Rhythm's body is directly defiled and desecrated!
Furthermore, those beings who have been distorted into celestial bodies can be a little more awake at this level. They endlessly transmit crazy ravings in all directions, relying on instinct to vent their hundreds of millions of years of loneliness.
The dangers on the first level are at most the bugs and the information flow that may shut down your brain, but on the second level, if you are not careful, you will die directly!
Because when it comes to "celestial bodies", existences that transcend mythology, their gazes and words can directly penetrate the body of Rhythm, so strength is necessary.
Imagine that even a town like Ling'e cannot resist the gaze of the "celestial body"... If you want to walk here, you also need a myth to protect yourself.
Of course, relying on strength to force exploration is what "primitive people" do.
For primitive people, the "depths of the ocean" are extremely terrifying. Any creature that comes will be killed and swallowed, let alone die in the "environment" before encountering those creatures. .
Only "mythical" primitive people can dive very deep... But modern people don't have to go to such trouble, they can just use technology.
"Spirit Son" is this technology.
The Wuming Empire's research on spirit sons has become very abnormal, so with the help of spirit sons, Yu Cang can enter the second level without reaching the mythical level. If he takes the top spirit son creation "War Celestial Body" "If so, there is no requirement for strength.
The princess once told Yu Cang that judging from his current "Emperor Drawing the Sword", he should already have the conditions to enter the second level, but more practice is needed to be sure.
The tens of billions of time in this era have made the area of the second layer of starry sky unimaginably large, so everything must be safe.
After passing through the second floor, you come to "Toward the World".
Entering here, those dazzling rhythms will disappear in an instant, and the vision will be clear again. You can't even see any rhythm at all, only the distant and ethereal starlight.
Here is the dividing line. It is the era represented in this long time span from the last star of the last era to extinguishing to the first star of this era to light up. In this period of time, which may be very short or may be extremely long, everything ceases to exist. Within the star realm, there is only "emptiness", so there is no rhythm here.
The place where Yu Cang is now is here... Compared to the second floor, this place is safer. You don’t need to be too strong to exist here. After all, There is an emptiness here.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that this is the most suitable place for the "Star Armory" to be stationed - there is no rhythm, and there is no interference. The accuracy of the Star Armory here is ridiculously high, and it can execute any task. The error of the instructions is almost zero!
Moreover, it can also ignore the rhythm of the barrier between the star world and the small world and travel at will.
However, safety is only relative, and the danger on the third level is even more terrifying!
Evil peeps from the previous era will appear occasionally. They are the last existences in the previous era. Their terrifying abilities and deep resentment can penetrate even the will of the myth!
Of course, there are very few such existences, and their "ontologies" are all after the fourth level, so the probability of encountering them on the third level... is smaller than the success of directly implanting a mythical entry. .
So, the third level is a place that is safe 99.9% of the time, but once danger occurs, you will definitely die.
The only one who can protect Yu Cang from surviving such prying eyes is the Star Armory.
Now, apparently without the protection of the Star Armory.
But Tai Cang was not panicked.
The Emperor Star summoned him to this place, and it was obviously impossible for him to die so easily for such a ridiculous reason.
He looked around and saw some clues.
It is "dream" that protects itself.
The dream woven by the Emperor Star is equivalent to directly opening a passage from the first level to the world. Yu Cang followed the passage and came here without stepping out of the passage.
The distance between him and the past world was like a layer of glass, still in two dimensions.
Yu Cangruo has some realization.
After all, he did not get here by his own strength, so as long as he wakes up from his dream, it will be impossible to come back this way.
Unless the Emperor Star summons him again... Well, he is still reliable through hard work.
Yu Cang looked around and looked around, and immediately felt a little regretful.
In the dream state, the range of movement he could move was not very large, but within his field of vision, he did not seem to find the star armory that the princess mentioned.
It seems that the location is wrong.
What a pity... Hearing how the princess had blown up the Star Armory, he had long been curious about the ultimate product of the ultimate evolution of the spirit son.
If we could get just one, wouldn't it be possible for a mere Aragami to be wiped out... Well, no, one star armory might not be stable, so two would be enough.
Yu Cang nodded straightly.
He didn’t know if Star Armory was that awesome, but he wanted to think about it first.
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart for the time being, Yu Cang raised his head, his eyes slightly solidified, as if he wanted to look deeper.
But nothing happened - he didn't have this ability yet.
The third level is the past world, so the fourth level is naturally the "past world"... which is the "corpse" left behind in the last era.
The remaining traces of those extremely terrifying celestial bodies are all left on the fourth level...
However, although it is dangerous, there are also benefits.
They are like coal and oil deep in the earth. As long as they can be mined, they are endless treasures.
But according to the princess, in the entire starry sky, only the Nameless Empire has this kind of "mining" technology.
Back in the capital of the gods, the princess mentioned that before his brother-in-law obtained the status of Emperor Star Selector, the Wuming Empire used pure spirit sons to create an "artificial destiny star" for him.
The raw materials for this artificial star... include the corpses of celestial bodies from the previous era!
Furthermore, the information about the Emperor Star in the Nameless Empire was also obtained from the fourth level.
However, even for the Nameless Empire, the fourth level is an extremely dangerous area. The little bit of information related to the Emperor Star has caused the Empire to have countless archaeologists trapped in the research institute. He went crazy, exploded to death, and the star armory also exploded one after another.
"Brother Wang's" artificial life star, even if placed in the nameless empire, is the most top-notch creation!
As powerful as La, he did not dare to go deep into the fourth level. He only dared to seek information on the edge of the third level. Ten thousand years had passed since the famine erupted, and only then did he find clues to the salvation of the world.
Yu Cang sighed.
He is determined not to be able to enter now.
However... a new doubt arose in his heart.
Emperor Star has brought himself to the third level. Does this mean that the current Emperor Star body is located on the fourth level or even deeper?
Judging from the way Emperor Star exited just now, it seems reasonable.
Yu Cang rubbed his chin.
Emperor Star has survived for countless epochs, and Yu Cang is not surprised that he can appear from the fourth level. But now he was thinking of something else.
Yu Cang's eyes narrowed slightly.
Empty and sequence.
He has not forgotten that these two little bugs are the "key" to a "relic" from the previous era.
Ra has been searching for a long time in Yuanxing but still can't find a way to use the key. Is it possible... The key to the matter lies on the fourth floor?
The correct way to use the key is to let the worm eat it, and then bring the rhythm of the key to the fourth floor to open the ruins here?
From the current point of view, the Emperor Star may have relied on the deep star field to survive between epochs. So is it possible that the civilization of the last epoch also used a similar method to survive in the epoch? There are some things left on the fourth floor...
La had previously come to the conclusion that the Shimizu might be a war weapon made by the civilization of the last era, imitating the wilderness.
Therefore, using it as a key, it seems that we can guess what the things that were sent here in the last era were.
