As Tianyang stared at the pattern on the high back of the iron pedestal, Yun Yuan's voice rang out behind him: "It's very strange, isn't it? I was also shocked when I saw this thing when I came in."
Tian Yang turned around and saw Yun Yuan pointing at the huge skeleton on the platform. He continued, "We don't know how long this thing has been living in the crack. When we came in, it didn't move. It didn't move until we almost killed all those shadow-like things."
Tian Yang asked curiously: "Second Master, what is this?"
Yun Yuan shook his head: "I don't know either. Part of it looks very much like a human, especially its head. You should be thankful that you didn't see its face."
Tian Yang couldn't help but ask: "Does it look scary?"
Yun Yuan laughed and said, "That won't happen, but that face, that face..."
Tianyang was a little anxious, and then he heard Yunyuan sigh and say, "That face is the face of a middle-aged man, and his face shows many emotions. I saw despair, pain, and numbness on that face. Those expressions are so vivid, it's almost like a living person standing in front of you."
"But no human being has a body this big. If someone really grew this tall, it would be impossible for them to walk upright. Their own weight alone would break their spine."
"But it looked so much like a human that when I saw it, I forgot to attack. As a result..."
Yun Yuan's face actually showed a somewhat fearful expression: "I don't know what that thing did. For a moment, I felt something else entering its body. Or perhaps, some kind of will descended upon it."
"Its body has become a kind of container, and that will, through its body, wants to destroy us, including all life outside the cracks. It is a pure, extreme, emotionless, and extremely cold will to destroy."
"There is no good or evil, it just wants to destroy life. Fortunately, I brought a few trump cards with me, and the container it descended into is a bit fragile, otherwise, the outcome would be unpredictable."
Tianyang was shocked. Only then did he realize that the battle inside the sect had been so dangerous.
The will to destruction that Yun Yuan talked about should be what he felt, the kind of aura that made him feel terrified, overwhelmed his instincts, and made him feel his own insignificance.
The young man came to his senses and saw Yun Yuan staring at the high back of the iron seat in a trance. He followed his gaze and found that Yun Yuan was looking at the creature that wanted to devour the stars.
The carving did not give the creature a specific appearance, but used a more abstract and vague method to express it. However, there were obvious star patterns on the creature's body, which showed that the creature fed on stars.
Tianyang couldn’t imagine what could swallow the stars. If such a thing really existed, wouldn’t it itself be larger than the stars
"Star Devourer..." Yun Yuan murmured in a low voice, almost in a dream.
Tian Yang caught this word and couldn't help but look back: "Second Master, what is a Star Devourer?"
Yun Yuan came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's just some legends. Legend has it that our ancestors came from the other end of a distant star road. They boarded a ship called the Ark, traveled through the endless starry sky, and settled on our current planet."
"And the reason they came from so far away is because their hometown was attacked by something that could devour the stars. I heard that some so-called evidence is kept in the Radiant Castle."
Tian Yang was surprised and asked, "Is there really something in the endless starry sky that can devour the stars?"
Yun Yuan laughed: "Even a world like the Reverse Realm that goes against common sense can exist. I don't think it's surprising that there are things that can devour stars."
"There are some incredible things in this gap. If you look at the pillar, there are even some words from the opposite world on it."
Yun Yuan casually pointed to a cylinder.
Tianyang jumped down from the platform and curiously looked around. Sure enough, there were some words from the opposite world on the pillar, which looked like they were carved. Moreover, each word was as big as a palm, as if the person who carved it was a giant.
But the residents of the Reverse World have normal body shapes. No matter how tall they are, they can definitely not be called giants.
Suddenly, Tianyang looked towards the huge skeleton on the platform, and a horrifying thought arose in the boy’s mind: Could these words have been carved by the creature on the platform
If so, could this creature have once been human
So how did it become what it is now
Although this idea is absurd, it is not impossible. After all, even the Deep Knights were transformed from residents of the Reverse Realm, so it is not impossible for them to become the huge creatures on the platform.
The young man focused his mind and looked at the words on the pillar. Since the font was large enough, he could easily understand what the words said.
'I was fooled. Luo Kai was right. They just wanted to use me, but now, I can't break free...'
Tianyang took a deep breath. Isn't Luo Kai the stationmaster of Beidou Base? Then this "I" should also be a member of Beidou Base.
They? Who are they? Monsters chasing from the "grave"
It seems that a lot of things happened after Luo Kai and the others took Zi Chen to the lower base.
Tianyang found another pillar, which also had some words from the opposite world on it: Oh my god, what happened to me? How did I become like this
Some of these words appeared on pillars, some were carved directly on the ground, and there were even some on the walls near the platform.
'The voice I heard in my dream, they said it was the whisper of God. They said I would be their God, I have my reservations about this...'
'I can't go back anymore. Luo Kai will kill me. I brought the compass out. But it was lost. I don't know where it fell. Maybe it was in the upper base. After all, I wanted to escape with it, but they found it...'
'Luo Kai is crazy, he actually wants to transform into a monster. I don't agree with this approach, he said I'm a capitulator. Bah, I just want to find a better way...'
'My mind is starting to get a little unclear. How long have I been in this damn place? What's wrong with my body? What are these things growing out of me...'
'They tricked me!'
'I have a guess. I am not the god they said I was. They just used me. Yes, they said that humans are precious containers. We carry light and can also embrace darkness. They want to put something into my body. That thing must be big, so they need to cultivate me into this shape! '
'I am Lin Yu, the medical officer of Beidou Base. I must record this information in case I forget...'
'who I am... '
The last trace of writing. Perhaps, these graffiti-like marks cannot be called words, even if the things that carved them try hard to make them look like words.
But in fact, this is just a
There are some messy lines, even though there are a few words that can be barely distinguished among them.
After reading these words, Tianyang pieced together an outline in his mind.
Back then in the Beidou base, Luo Kai decided to move Luo Pan and Zi Chen to the safe in the lower base, but apparently this decision was not recognized by everyone.
At least, the man who called himself Lin Yu objected.
Lin Yu heard a voice in his dream, which eventually led to his break with Luo Kai and he became a so-called surrenderist.
Lin Yu brought the compass out and tried to escape from the base, but was caught by the grave creatures in the upper base. As a result, he was imprisoned here, and the grave creatures bewitched him, making him believe that he would become the god of these creatures.
But in the end, Lin Yu felt that the grave creatures had deceived and used him, and only treated him as a vessel. He was cultivated into an appearance beyond imagination. Moreover, something grew out of his body...
Tianyang looked at the platform. In this case, the remains on the platform were most likely Lin Yu, the medical officer of the base. And those things constructed by shadows should be things that grew out of Lin Yu or split out of him.
Yun Yuan had mentioned before that for a moment, this huge creature on the platform was occupied by an external will, which should be the so-called god mentioned by the tomb creatures.
God is foreign and must be carried by a container, so the tomb creature cultivated Lin Yu.
Those invisible worshippers in the hall outside should be worshipping the god who descended upon Lin Yu.
But after all, these are just the words left by Lin Yu. The meaning conveyed by the creatures in the tomb may change when expressed in a language that humans can understand.
For example, the definition of God may just be made to make it easier for humans to understand.
But in fact, God might be some kind of creature, perhaps the star-eating creature on Gao's back.
Although the clues left by Lin Yu only presented a vague outline, they explained why Su Lie found the compass even though he obviously did not enter the lower base.
Because the compass was taken to the upper level by Lin Yu and left somewhere, it was finally obtained by Su Lie.
Moreover, the gold diggers from Gugang had encountered Ghost Riders in the upper base, which meant that Luo Kai later went to the upper base himself or sent people to look for them, but unfortunately to no avail.
However, the compass has not been obtained by the Deep Knights for so many years. Perhaps it is not because Su Lie is lucky, but because in the invasion of time, these creatures transformed from the base personnel have forgotten what they are supposed to protect.
Thinking of this, Tianyang felt sad for them. They had even forgotten what they were supposed to protect, but they were still guarding this base like ghosts.
Perhaps, letting them rest in peace is the greatest comfort to the former personnel of the base.
"compass?"
Yun Yuan's voice brought Tian Yang back to his senses. He looked suspicious and said, "This Lin Yu took something out. The compass sounds familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere before."
Tian Yang asked carefully: "Second Master, can you read the words of the Reverse Realm?"
Yun Yuan smiled, but as if he remembered something unhappy, his smile dimmed again: "Well, I have a friend who is quite knowledgeable about the Reverse Realm. After being in contact with him for a long time, I understand a little bit. It's a pity that the guy actually committed suicide..."
Tian Yang's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that your friend is Mr. Liu Jinglin?"
