Once again returning to the mother river after hundreds of years, Garen felt the familiar force of corrosion and assimilation. This force is so huge that even now he can only barely protect himself. , go with the flow.
He looked back at the hole in the mech universe, where it had healed to the size of a fist, and it was still healing at an accelerated rate.
Surrounded by endless pale green, nothing can be seen, nothing can be heard.
Only the sound of the endless river constantly vibrating in the ears of the soul.
Garen looked up and saw that the river was not far away. Through the water of the mother river, he could see the colorful space-time wall outside.
Roar.!
A violent roar sounded again.
Garen was shocked to see that a large crack appeared in the space-time wall in an instant, and then a hole seemed to be forcibly punched out by an external force. A nearly endless arm protruded fiercely from the hole.
It was a brass-colored arm, with a faint metallic luster all over its body, extending and flying downwards.
Boom! !
The river was splashed high by the arm. The arm actually grabbed straight towards Garen. It seems to have an infinite length, and it comes wrapped with a huge and terrifying soul power.
"It's a void creature!!" Garen knew that it was not good, and quickly activated the soul ring, bursting out a stream of pure soul power, wrapping his soul, and rushing forward in the mother river.
With a whoosh, he just avoided the capture of the giant hand. Only the edges were rubbed lightly.
But with just this small rub, the soul power on the arm was like tarsal maggots, instantly decomposing into dozens of dense transparent maggots, adhering to the outer wall of Garon's soul power, devouring Garon's body with big mouthfuls soul power.
A feeling of dizziness came to his mind, and Garen instinctively knew that it was due to excessive consumption of soul power. The existence of being able to break the barrier of the mother river is definitely not something he can contend with now.
"You must leave immediately!" He made up his mind, and directly divided the part of the soul power that was attached to it, and threw it far away.
I am like a swimming fish moving forward in the river quickly.
Fortunately, the soul ring can now continuously generate new soul power, and no longer can only use the soul power stored in the soul seed as before. Once it is corroded by the mother river, it can only close its eyes and wait for death, but now it is different. Long can completely generate new soul power continuously to support himself to swim longer and farther in the mother river.
boom! !
The river surged violently, and the huge life force of the mother river frantically rushed towards the arm that invaded the body.
Garen looked back and saw that the brass-colored arm was rapidly corroded by countless green river water, exposing the black texture of the inner layer, and a large amount of red blood dripped down and melted into it. mother river. Dye a large amount of green river water around it into a dark color.
Roar..! !
The unknown existence let out a painful roar, and could only retract its arms. The palms quickly separated from the mother river, and with blood on their hands, they retracted from the hole in the space-time wall.
The hole was also quickly and automatically repaired under the power of the mother river, and it was restored to its original state. The waves of the river gradually subsided.
Garen breathed a sigh of relief as he dived underwater. This feeling of being chased and killed after falling from the apex of the world to the bottom was something he hadn't experienced in hundreds of years. Just a moment ago, he was one of the twenty-six people at the top of the mech world, but now he has become a runaway like a bereaved dog.
"Sure enough, time and space are so big that it covers everything." With a sigh in his heart, Garen calculated the loss, and the energy imprint quickly took effect, because this imprint is composed of consciousness, which is also a part of the plague's soul power. Small branch, so it can still survive, using Garen's soul power to operate. But at this moment, this imprint is gradually moving slowly as it moves away from the mecha world.
After all, its operation calculation rules, many laws and rules are designed according to the rules of the mech universe. Once the rules change, its automatic repair ability is already strong enough without instant paralysis.
It's like the rule of this universe is that the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second, while that of that universe is 900,000 kilometers. Or the rule in this universe is that one plus one equals two, but in that universe one plus one equals three.
Of course, the latter does not have such an exaggerated change, but it can also explain this kind of problem.
The reason why Garen's soul-seed can be used in all universes is because it is the most basic rule of the root, discarding all other non-common parts, leaving only the part of the unified law that is uniformly applicable to all universes.
This is where Warlocks are truly great. What they have mastered is the law of power that can be used in many universes.
In the mother river, time is meaningless, everything is flowing, Garen slowly swims in the river, and swims along the river in the direction he came from. At the beginning, he was washed by the river to the poorest mecha universe in the branch of the mother river, but now if he wanted to leave, he had to go upstream.
After traveling through so many worlds, he has become used to it from the initial novelty to the current numbness.
As for the purpose, Garen had long forgotten what the original purpose was. Why did he devote himself to entering the mother river, why did he choose to continue crossing, the purpose and meaning of that, he has long forgotten.
Too many new memories have washed away the earliest insistence so that there is almost no shadow.
Garen, who was swimming upstream, pondered slowly while swimming.
Is it for the war between ancient Yinduo and void creatures? Or is it simply to experience life in different worlds? Or to find the reason for his original time travel.
Maybe even find your way back.
While swimming, Garen's thoughts flowed rapidly, the operation of the energy imprint was getting slower and slower, most of the functions were stagnated and damaged due to the lack of rules, only the most fundamental computing ability remained, computing power It is equivalent to less than one ten-thousandth of the original, but it has already surpassed the supercomputer of the earth back then.
Occasionally in the mother river, there would be Void beings trying to catch Garon like before, but he avoided them all without any risk.
But Garen was constantly thinking, becoming more and more confused and sluggish. The more he searched, the more he couldn't find the meaning of his continued existence. Everything was repeated again and again.
Apart from pursuing stronger power, he couldn't find a greater value of existence.
"What do I really want?" he asked himself.
When this question was asked, according to calculations, it was already the third year after he entered the mother river.
He no longer knows where he drifted to. There is always an endless green river around, no living things, only occasionally some debris can be seen flowing by. Most of these objects don't exist for long, and are quickly melting in the river water.
Throughout the rafting, the only living creatures that could be encountered were the occasional Void Fishermen. These existences are extremely huge, each of which has at least dozens of soul-seeds, and they are not the lowest level of soul-seeds. Soul-seeds are divided into three stages: variegated, colorless, and uniform-colored. Garen himself belongs to the most elementary stage of variegated colors. His soul-seeds simply form soul rings and belong to the lowest-level existence among demon kings. To upgrade, at least five soul-seeds need to be collected to form a big soul ring, and then the variegated colors can be removed before being promoted to the colorless stage.
And the Void Fishermen that appeared outside the mother river were also in the colorless stage at the last stage, and each of them didn't have more than ten soul species, so they were embarrassed to show up. As for the weaker ones, Garen guessed that they were probably less than this number of soul-species, and they also had self-knowledge, and would not take the initiative to show up to seek abuse. The mother river barrier is also divided into strong and weak areas, and the weaker ones have no benefit except being injured in vain.
This kind of rafting was boring and boring, Garen even sometimes expected that the sudden appearance of fishermen would bring him a little more interest.
These beings were sluggish due to the entanglement of the power of the mother river, and the stupid big ones played by him became Garen's only condiment one by one.
But the consumption of soul power is not unlimited after all.
After more than five years, Garen felt that his soul power had begun to decline, and the generation of soul rings could not keep up with the consumption. He suddenly understood that he could no longer drift aimlessly like this.
With a spirit ring and his identity as a void stalker, if he stays in one place for a long time, to a certain extent, he is the top bait for attracting spirit ring-level void creatures. to address this threat.
Garen set up a simulation model and calculated that he could not stay in a world for more than two hundred years at most, otherwise he would attract spirit ring level void creatures nearby.
"The void creatures and the ancient Yinduo civilization definitely have a stronghold of confrontation! It is impossible for me to be the only inheritor. If I can find another inheritor, I can really unite and resist the attack of the void creatures together."
With this in mind, Garen began to pay attention to the countless universes flowing outside the mother river barrier, trying to find the universe that also carried the breath of soul seeds.
Such a universe is easy to find, because soul power and breath cannot be possessed by just any universe, and Gallon's Void Stalker, at this time, plays the role of a super olfactory locator. Distinguished traces of possible soul power breath from the cosmic breath.
Even though he knew that such a search was very slim, Garen finally had a new goal, which was no longer as dazed and decadent as it was at the beginning.
Time passed slowly. Garen's soul ring produced less and less soul power, and the body he could protect was less and less and thinner.
After an unknown amount of time, the opportunity he had been waiting for finally appeared.
*******************
puff!
A huge black octopus plunged its tentacles into the water of the mother river and rushed towards Garen. The tentacles were covered with countless small suction cups, which swept towards Garen fiercely with a huge suction force.
"Looking for death!" Garen sneered as he watched the tentacles release their attraction in the water of the mother river. "Release the suction in such a thick mother river? I really think I've lived long enough."
He mocked bluntly, when a person stays alone for a long time, he likes to talk to himself, otherwise he may even forget how to speak after a long time.
As if confirming Garen's taunt, the black tentacle man didn't catch it, but absorbed a huge amount of water from the mother river in an instant, and the whole tentacle swelled up, getting bigger and thicker.
