Chapter 552: Realm of Knowledge: Going to the World
After leaving the last words, Emperor Xing's figure slowly disappeared among the stars.
Yu Cang opened his mouth and wanted to ask more questions, but Emperor Xing no longer gave him the chance to ask questions.
Soon, the space became quiet, and the distant stars who were unknown how far away outlined the light of meteors on the horizon. Yu Cang suddenly felt a strange force pulling away from his body. 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 couldn't 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.
At this time, he was already very sure about where this place was.
Starry sky sight!
And it's a deep level that he hasn't been able to reach yet.
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 with the help of a complete body of rhythm. Strength will also become a necessity.
The star armory brought by the princess is now sleeping in the deep star field, 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 Star Sight—every epoch, the Star Sight will disappear completely.
Because this is the intertwining sight of the stars, when the stars extinguish, the star field will gradually fade and cease to exist... As the famine spreads, the extinguishment of the stars is a certainty.
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 be deposited 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 them.
It is conceivable that those who can still survive when the "library" disappears... must be those who are so powerful that they can leave a mark on the world of consciousness that even time cannot erase. exist!
Celestial objects 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 level 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 before the last era.
The records of the Nameless Empire include many archaeological documents about the previous era, most of which were archaeologically obtained from the deep starry sky field... In other words, entering the deep realm of consciousness is almost the only way to learn about the previous era. archaeological method.
But entering the deep realm of consciousness is not that simple.
Regardless of the division, the world is only the third level, but looking at the star realm, there are very 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 Kongjie and Wuming 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 levels at any time. Only then can it have such terrifying suppressive power on various worlds... and can travel between the star world and the world at any time. Between small worlds.
I can hit you, but you can't even see me. This is the horror of the technological 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.
At this level, there are no secrets for Yu Cang. He can come and go when he wants, and he can also see some deeper rhythms through direct contact with the body of rhythm.
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 are also countless evil civilizations who have stored some "polluted" knowledge here and explored here. If you are not careful, you will be contaminated with taboos!
It can range from a mental injury to amnesia, to a more severe condition, Rhythm's body can be directly defiled and desecrated!
Moreover, those beings who have been distorted into celestial bodies can be a little more awake at this level. They endlessly transmit crazy nonsense to all directions, relying on instinct to vent their hundreds of millions of years of loneliness.
The dangers on the first level are at most bugs and the flow of information 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.
Thinking of a town like Ling'e, even a country 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 devoured, 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 perverted, so with the help of spirit sons, Yu Cang can enter the second level without reaching the mythical level, especially if he takes the top spirit son creation "War Celestial Body". Any strength requirement.
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 on the safe side.
After passing through the second floor, you come to "Toward the World".
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 too much strength to exist here. After all, this place is empty.
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 operation of the Star Armory here is ridiculously high, and the error in executing any 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 surviving existences in the previous era. Their abilities are so terrifying and their resentment is so deep that even the will of the myth can be penetrated!
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.
Therefore, the third level is a place that is safe 99.9% of the time, but once danger occurs, death is inevitable.
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 Yu 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 enlightenment.
After all, he didn't 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 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 with just one hand... Well, no, one star armory might not be stable, so two would be enough.
Yu Cang nodded.
He didn't know if the Star Armory was that awesome, but he thought about it first.
After suppressing his thoughts for the time being, Yu Cang raised his head and his eyes became slightly more focused, 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"...that is the "corpse" left behind in the last era.
Those extremely terrifying remaining traces of celestial bodies are all left on the fourth level...
However, despite the dangers, 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 the 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!
Moreover, 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 information related to the Emperor Star caused the empire to know how many archaeologists fell into madness and exploded to death in the research institute. , the star armory also exploded one after another.
"Brother Wang's" artificial life star is the most top-notch creation even if it is placed in the nameless empire!
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 enter now.
However...a new doubt arose in his heart.
Emperor Star pulled 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.
Emptiness and sequence.
He has not forgotten that these two little bugs are the "key" to a "relic" from the previous era.
La has been searching for a long time in Yuanxing but still can't find a way to use the key. Is it possible that... the key to the matter lies on the fourth level?
The correct way to use the key is to let the worm eat it, then take the key's rhythm to the fourth floor and 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 leave some traces on the fourth level? Where is the thing...
La had come to the conclusion before that the insect-seeing beast might be a war weapon made by the civilization of the last era, imitating the desert.
Therefore, using it as a key, it seems that we can guess what the things that were sent here in the last era were.
