Dusk covers the earth, the sun, moon, and stars are covered by the power of chaos. Under the endless clouds and twilight, the vegetation withers and twists, the mountains and rivers crack and weather, and the rocks and soil become dry and cracked wastelands. Even the gods personally supervise the casting The Eternal Fortress, after all, was no match for the erosion of the years after losing the grace of God, and was corrupted into ruins in the endless wind.
Many years later, a sanctuary warrior who survived the eternal battlefield recorded the appearance of the "old world" in his memoirs.
Under the leadership of the King of Mountains and Rivers, Hao Ren and his party finally came to the surface. This place was supposed to be a holy treasury gate at the foot of Asuman Mountain. It is the magnificent temple area of the city of gods, but here, it is just a dark, sloping cave. After climbing out of the weathered cave, all you can see is the endlessly spreading desolate land, like the dusk There is also a dim sky full of overcast clouds, and a pillar of wind hovering endlessly over the desolate land, making all kinds of strange whistling noises.
This was the first thing Hao Ren saw after he came out of the cave, and it gave him a great sense of familiarity. He instantly remembered the things he had seen from the illusion before, so he immediately turned his head and looked at the original The direction of Mount Asuman.
Many people turned their heads like him, so the sound of air-conditioning rang out all around.
I saw that the original Asuman has disappeared, but there is a huge mirrored cylinder standing in the original position of the holy mountain. This magnificent pillar like the Babel Tower seems to be made of polished sterling silver, extending from the earth. At the end of the sky, its surface is extremely smooth, without any unevenness, but on its bright silver mirror surface, what is reflected is not the surrounding desolate land, but mountains and rivers in another dimension.
Hao Ren recognized that those were actually the scenery of Ke Luo's world.
"This is the Realm of Reflection, or what the Realm of Reflection looks like in three-dimensional space," said Gordon, the King of Mountains and Rivers, "The tower formed by the mirror image is a sign of dreaming. Thousands of years ago, We rely on observing this mirrored tower in the illusion to judge our position in the nightmare world, but now the nightmare has polluted the final line of defense, and the image presented by this tower has lost its revelation."
As he said, Gordon pointed to a black shadow on the wasteland again: "That is the Fortress of Dusk. At least two thousand years ago, it was a place with complete facilities, strong soldiers, and shrouded in holy light and divine grace all the year round. The war we forged Weapons and puppet regiments filled the place, and every day from dawn to night, the Warden Legion would fight side by side with heroes from the 'real world', fighting against Lokmarton's minions on the front line. Oh, there was no It has been eroded to the current situation, the sky and the earth are not dominated by dusk, and there is still an alternation of day and night."
Hao Ren saw the "Twilight Fortress" that Gordon said, but it was difficult to connect it with the great fortress. It is now just a pile of scorched black stones and crooked towers standing in disorder on the dry land, and the desolate wind howls through it, and there is no life among the ruined walls.
Hao Ren opened the portable space, released half of the probes and self-discipline machines, and asked them to start wide-area resolution scanning to detect the situation in this world—now that the data terminal has returned to him, and the high-speed information processing link has also returned. As a result, the detection equipment in his portable space can be used normally after recovery. Otherwise, those high-tech detectors can only operate in the basic mode, providing his brain with simple information that does not exceed the data processing threshold, and the scope of use is really limited.
"So this place is the Abyss of Oblivion..." Calcius whispered, the wounds he suffered in the previous battle had been healed by May's series of healing spells, and everything seemed to be back to normal at this time, "I never thought, It's such a vast space..."
"Is it a bit familiar?" Gordon said, pointing to the mountains and rivers in the distance, "Look at those horizons, those mountains, don't you feel familiar?"
"That's..." a church knight exclaimed in surprise, "The terrain is exactly the same as the sanctuary?!"
"Not only is it exactly the same as Sanctuary, but it's exactly the same as the whole of Keluo," Gordon said as he strode forward, "Although there are many 'dislocations' that don't match, but in the position where the coordinates match , the Forgotten Abyss is a replica of the Colo you are familiar with...or, the other way around."
Hao Ren was just about to ask Ge Dun what he meant by this nonsense, when he suddenly heard Nangong Wuyue, who was walking behind him, let out an exclamation, and then a huge snake ball slammed into his back. It took half a step forward to regain balance without any risk. Just as he was about to turn his head to calm down that coward, he saw a spectacular scene that made him die.
Behind the tumbling thick clouds, a gigantic shadow suddenly appeared, and then slowly protruded out of the clouds—it was a huge floating island, and it could even be said to be a smaller continent!
And this floating island, whose volume exceeded the limit of visual inspection no matter what, did not stop after sticking out of the clouds. It descended at a seemingly slow but fast speed with a terrifying angle of inclination, and gradually fell to the ground!
Everyone was agitated or exclaimed, only the ten upper classical prison officers headed by Gordon remained completely calm. Seeing this scene, Hao Ren also calmed down, but he still looked nervously at the floating piece. The land fell obliquely from the sky and touched the earth.
However, the expected landslides and ground fissures did not happen. The floating continent that fell from behind the clouds was like a phantom. After touching the ground, it continued to sink silently. It penetrated the surface of the earth, like a slanted sundial, and was swallowed by the earth bit by bit—this weird "falling" process lasted for a full five minutes before it ended, until the "falling" land completely disappeared from sight , All talents regained the ability to breathe as usual.
"This is the 'inconsistent dislocation' part I mentioned just now," Gordon's voice came from above, "that is the fragment of Keluo, the part that disintegrated from the normal space-time surface. The whole planet is torn apart, but Only five continents survived, and the remaining planet fragments became something like this, they were caught in the wrong time and space, wandered like ghosts of the planet, orbiting, they will pass through the physical world in the process of orbiting , as you can see, the sight is quite frightening, but no harm will actually happen..."
As he spoke, Gordon paused and shrugged: "Well, there may be some hazards. When these phantom continents pass through the real world, there have been irregular disappearances and energy loss events, and sometimes there are inexplicable things. Stay on the ground after those phantoms pass through the ground, but all of this is random, do you understand?"
Most people were shaking their heads, only Hao Ren, Vivienne, and Izaks showed thoughtful expressions—oh, Lily was also thinking about it, after all, she graduated from Peking University four times.
"In other words, those phantom-like continents are actually the remaining fragments of Planet Keluo," Hao Ren nodded slightly, "Then why can't we see them in the real world outside? The real world is more complete?"
"As you said," Gordon's answer surprised many, "is it surprising? But the truth often surprises. To those of us who came from the ancient world, the real Kolo... is the one in this nightmare. world!"
Hao Ren looked up at the huge body of the King of Mountains and Rivers, waiting for further explanation from the other party.
"Kolo, it was originally a complete celestial body, which you should have heard in many ancient legends, but the part you haven't heard is: Colo was not originally divided into two parts: the real world and the nightmare world, but The only individual," Gordon said slowly, looking up into the distance, with nostalgia and sigh in his tone, "At first, the mother imprisoned Loch Marton in the depths of this planet, it was just an ordinary Prisons and reformation facilities, no one expected that things would develop like this later - Lochmarton is becoming more and more crazy and weird, it is gradually distorted into a monster between reality and fantasy, and the growing nightmare power makes The original system of the prison was overwhelmed and reached a critical point on a certain day-10,000 years ago, on that catastrophic day, Colo was torn apart, and the entire planet was thrown into imaginary space, along with the vast area nearby. Locke Under such circumstances, the power of Marton grew explosively, and it almost broke out of control. In order to avoid the worst situation of containment failure, we had to activate an emergency program of Asuman, which is an extended part of the covenant engine. Some of the functions of the engine were invoked, and the ending was—Kolo was cut out from the main material universe and became a closed space bubble, and the overall reversal was carried out... "
Gordon's explanation was obscure and filled with a lot of complicated and profound theoretical knowledge. He obviously didn't explain it to Calassius and others, because the latter were completely confused at the moment. Only Hao Ren and his party had been in contact with similar events appear to be receptive to such knowledge.
"After the reversal, the torn Kelo planet has become an abyss of oblivion. The fragments of the material universe and the cracks in the imaginary space have cut this place to pieces, and the power of Loch Marton is also everywhere in this completely closed prison. The collision gradually transforms this place into a nightmarish place, and in order to ensure the control of this nightmarish imaginary space, we let Asuman open a rift at the top of the world—that is, the sanctuary, and use data mapping outside the rift A new Kolo was built, and in order to prevent Lokmarton from escaping through this rift, Asuman also passed through the rift and anchored at New Kolo, blocking the passage in the form of a crystal holy mountain. As for the Kolo Great Rift The surviving ecosphere after that... was also transferred by us to the new world outside."
After finishing speaking, Gordon paused for a long time, giving everyone room to think.
Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief: "In short, Lochmarton tore the old world apart, so you blocked and transformed the old world into the Abyss of Oblivion, and built a new world on the basis of the old world. The so-called real world is This new world is where the world lives today, and here... is the original Kolo planet?!"
Gordon laughed, and he turned around and opened his hands: "So, again, welcome to the old world of nightmares—the real Kolo."
Behind the King of Mountains and Rivers, the clouds rolled and surged, and another continent fell from the sky obliquely. On the continent, magnificent cities and fortress clusters could be vaguely seen. It slowly moved across the sky, like a snowflake scattered in a dream. Slowly sinking into the earth without stirring up a ripple. (to be continued~^~)
