When those brilliant light curtains dissipated, Lily raised her hand curiously, looking at the tender green leaf mark on the back of her left hand: "... this is the sign of soul binding? With this, we can be resurrected in the dark realm La?"
"Yes, but remember, you can only be resurrected once," Hao Ren said seriously—even though he had reminded him several times before, he couldn't help emphasizing again at this time, "The Dark Realm is a dream and In a world where the planes are separated, according to Raven 12345's calculation, that place is most likely located in the gap between the world barrier and the void, and the world tree system is something that controls the inside of the world, so its power cannot be fully Entering the Dark Realm—and can only be effective in this way of imprinting. In the absence of follow-up power replenishment, these imprints are one-off."
"...can't be dependent on it," Y'zaks frowned, looking at the imprint on the back of his hand, "in fact, it seems to me that this thing is even harmful: an extra chance of resurrection will lead to laxity and paralysis, worst The most common situation is to inadvertently consume this resurrection opportunity, and then suffer a second fatal blow before the mentality has been adjusted."
Vivienne said lightly: "But when exploring a completely unfamiliar twisted world, the advantages of this thing outweigh the disadvantages."
Y'zaks nodded: "I agree with that."
"Speaking of which, can we still come out of the dark realm after consuming this imprint?" Lily asked a little worriedly, "Didn't it mean that we will have to rely on the power of the World Tree to drag us out in the end? What if the imprint is gone? , wouldn't the World Tree not be able to find us?"
Hao Ren: "You don't have to worry about this, because the world tree doesn't use the imprint when pulling people out. This step requires very little energy, and the little power of the world tree penetrating into the dark field is enough to complete it. So If we really encounter a fatal crisis in the dark realm and we still have time to react, then don’t hesitate to return to the city with one click—exiting the instance is better than wasting a life.”
"Woo..." Lily's ears moved back and forth, showing that she was having a lot of thoughts in her mind. Sure enough, she soon had another question, "By the way, where is our resurrection point? Listen to you It seems that it is not returning to this hall, but directly resurrected in the dark realm?"
"Of course, after all, if you can come back here to be resurrected, then there is no 'one-time' limit," Hao Ren explained patiently, "Due to the special attributes of the Dark Realm, it is very dangerous to perform a 'cross-border resurrection' , it is very likely that the soul will be directly exposed to the void outside the world and be annihilated, so after resurrection, we will also be in the dark field. The default resurrection point is near me—”
As he spoke, he raised his left hand, showing the somewhat special World Tree mark: a circle of vine-shaped patterns can be seen on the edge of the tender green leaves, and the small leaves on the pattern correspond to the The number of people including Vivienne.
Lily thought about it carefully, and asked straightforwardly: "Then what if the landlord hangs up first?"
Hao Renxin said that the girl's words are really not tactful, but it is necessary to explain this aspect, so he said calmly: "If I die first, then by default, I will be resurrected near Vivienne. If we both die at the same time , then the two of us will be resurrected next to a random one of you... "
At this time, Elizabeth, who had been listening quietly for a long time, suddenly jumped in front of Hao Ren: "Uncle Ren, Uncle Ren, what if all of us are killed at the same time?"
Hao Ren tapped the little girl's head with a knife: "If our team is dragged for a while, then what a fart it is! Of course, after being randomly resurrected on the map, we will go back to the city to rescue soldiers!"
Then he shook his hand: "This part of the function is automatic. It has been set in advance that if all of us die within a short period of time, we will be automatically teleported back to this hall after resurrection—at the same time, no matter where the Giant Turtle Rock is No matter what mission we perform, we will be forced to jump out of the dark field. Of course, we may encounter the worst situation, that is, the spaceship will be discovered directly after entering the dark field and will be violently attacked. The ship exploded together. In this case, the world tree will activate the ultimate solution: to force its power into the dark realm before we are destroyed, but this is the last situation I want to see, because Even if we can survive, the Dark Realm itself will be banished into the Void afterward—from the protection of the world barrier, it will hardly have any fragments left, and then we will never be able to find the broken one again. kingdom of God."
Hao Ren told the worst of the situation in one breath, and the expressions on everyone's faces became extremely serious. Obviously, this was something they didn't want to see.
In the end, Vivienne was the first to speak: "Any action may fail, don't be frightened by these assumptions. We have been to many dangerous and weird places. At that time, everyone hadn't returned to the city to resurrect this kind of strange place. It’s a reasonable trick, so show some confidence. Hao Ren, you too, why are you talking about things so seriously, you haven’t set off yet, and your morale is gone.”
Hao Ren could only smile awkwardly and didn't say much.
"However, it's good to ask more questions in advance, after all, this is the first time I've used it," Izaks said, shaking his left hand with the imprint, "If you have any questions, you can ask them now. Didn’t start—it’ll be too late to read the instructions when we get there.”
This time no one spoke.
It's not because of embarrassment or concerns, but that Lily and Elizabeth have already asked the questions that everyone cares about, and the rest can only be adjusted after starting to act.
"Then let's get ready to go," Hao Ren exhaled, and turned to look at Salaman. "I'll get the drone army ready. How are you and your guardian army doing?"
Salaman lowered his head slightly: "Please rest assured, the guardians were already in a state of battle when they received the news."
Hao Ren glanced at the army commander, then turned his head to look at the World Tree's operation interface, and said in a rather regretful tone, "Oh, to be honest, if it wasn't for the restrictions on this thing, it would be great if we just tied a resurrection to every soldier, There are so many worries in the fight, a direct charge to the death, and then a reckless wave of resurrection on the spot, no matter what he is, he will be directly smashed through."
"Everything in the world has its balance. If the universe wants to be stable, it will not allow this to happen." Salaman was quite open-minded. "It is enough for the few of you to bear this mark—the most dangerous thing is always You are scouts going deep into dangerous places alone, you are taking the greatest risk, and you must ensure your safety."
Hao Ren waved his hand, indicating that he knew this, and then walked to the exit of the hall first.
The Juguiyantai has been parked in a large airport in the low-earth orbit of the hub star and is ready for departure.
She quietly suspended in front of the berth, her body was filled with the brilliance of the shield, and the light particles emitted by the jump drive formed a light like stardust on the back of the ship, which looked elegant and calm.
And behind the ship, there are two legions that have assembled neatly: a drone swarm that looks like a silver-white bee swarm, and a calm and heavy Guardian Legion.
The two legions will be waiting here, and if the Giant Turtle Rock Platform starts to broadcast the navigation coordinates of the Dark Realm, then they will immediately rush to the battlefield.
Hao Ren stood on the bridge of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace, looking at Salaman on the communicator: "After we go there, we will first confirm the local situation and establish an anchor point under the premise of safety. If fleet support is needed, we will The beacon signal will be broadcast—but there may be other situations. Maybe the things we encounter cannot be solved by the fleet. At that time, you can just wait patiently. All in all, as long as the world tree does not raise the alarm , our mission has not yet failed.”
The holographic image of Salaman nodded: "Whether you broadcast the beacon or not, we will be here on standby until a fight is needed or you return."
Then he lowered his head: "Bon trip."
After the communication ended, Hao Ren turned his gaze back to the bridge.
"Nolan, prepare to connect to the beacon."
A part of the panel of the console was stretched out, revealing a recessed slot with a slight blue light shining from the bottom of the panel. Hao Ren took out the "Divine Kingdom Beacon" formed by three small crystals from the portable space, and carefully placed it Put it in the groove.
As the control panel was closed again, Nolan's crisp voice also sounded on the bridge: "The external navigation signal has been read... The navigation signal has been analyzed, and the calculation has been completed... The data is injected into the navigation system, the jump engine switches to void mode, and the void engine Activated, about to jump... five, four..."
The space in front of the Juguiyantai ship's bow began to collapse, and circles of water ripple-like patterns rippled out, forming a vortex that was more than twice the diameter of the spaceship, and within that vortex, what appeared was An absolute chaos.
That is a scene that absolutely does not belong to any corner of the dream plane. It is a weird and strange scene in this world after the distant dark realm is refracted by the lens effect of infinite time and space.
"Two, one, jump activation."
In the next second, the Juguiyantai as a whole transformed into a hazy silver light, flowing into the constantly rotating vortex like flowing water.
It's gone in this universe.
"We are passing through a very unstable area!" On the bridge of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace, Nolan announced the current situation of the spacecraft loudly, "There may be a little vibration, everyone, don't leave your seat, don't let it go!" Open the safety buckle! If you have a tail, put it away to prevent it from touching where it shouldn't be!"
The picture from the external monitor is already chaotic. The strange scene and the starlight in the background of the universe are mixed together, crushed and distorted, and shrouded in all directions. The spaceship seems to be passing through an uneven lens tunnel, and the entire universe is in the lens. Compressed and condensed, the Giant Turtle Rock Platform is the only orderly and stable object in this maddening landscape.
The ship began to shake violently—even the inertial stabilizers inside the ship couldn't suppress the shaking.
"The structure of space is disappearing, the structure of time is disappearing, and the timing of events is disintegrating—" As Nolan reported the situation one by one, the light and shadow outside the spaceship also continued to collapse and disappear. This is a sign that the ship is moving away from the universe of order and approaching the realm of void , "It is expected to arrive at the end of the road sign in ten seconds, nine, eight..."
A weird whistling sound reverberated in everyone's mind. This was not a whistling in the real world, but an illusion caused by the massive amount of information washing into the soul when entering the edge of the world.
"Hurry up, hurry up..." Nangong Wuyue wrapped her entire seat with her tail, and muttered while tightening her tail, "I'll throw up if I shake it any longer..."
"Three, two, one... reach the finish line!"
The violent shaking stopped abruptly, the whistling sound disappeared, and everything ended in an instant, as if the thrilling journey before was all an illusion.
Only the various data fluctuating violently on the control panel showed how scary the ship had gone through just now.
"Check the hidden action device!" Hao Ren's first order after he stabilized was to confirm the stealth status of the spaceship.
"The stealth operation status is normal, and the ship is still in a stealth status."
"Huh..." Hao Ren breathed out, "Stay invisible, restart the external monitor now, let's find a space reference object that we can see."
"Boss... the situation may be different from what we thought," Nolan's tone sounded a bit strange, "We... seem to be in an atmosphere, and the external environment... is very comfortable."
