With Hao Ren's reminder, other people, including Lily and Vivian, raised their hands and looked at the backs of their hands as if they suddenly remembered it—before setting off, everyone performed the imprinting ceremony in the World Tree Hall , There should have been a resurrection mark from the World Tree on the back of their hands, but now, all the marks have disappeared.
Almost everyone exclaimed in unison: "It's gone?!" "Fuck!" "What?" "Meow meow?" "I'll go!"
Well, it's not very neat...
The imprint of the world tree, its biggest function is to bind everyone's life information, and provide a precious chance of resurrection when a fatal threat occurs, and its disappearance only means one thing—this chance of resurrection is consumed up.
But no one can remember that they have died once!
"What's going on here?" Lily felt furry for a moment, and even felt that a dog's life had been lost, "Why did the resurrection coin disappear like this! I don't remember dying in Laherien..."
"Of course no one died, because according to the preset plan before departure, if all of us consume the resurrection mark, then the world tree will immediately activate the forced separation, dragging us all back to the main material universe, and this process It’s unstoppable even by the Dark Realm.” Hao Ren waved his hand, “The resurrection mark disappeared because we were assimilated once when we entered the dreamland of Laherien—everyone has no memory of that moment, but it should have happened Yes, it happened at a certain moment at the beginning. I think, being assimilated by the dream may mean "erasing" in the real world, this process is enough to activate the imprint's unrigorous judgment mechanism, so the imprint is consumed However, in fact we are still alive, so the forced escape program on the World Tree side has not been activated."
Lily blinked and drooped her tail: "Ah... just wasting a resurrection coin like this..."
"No, it worked," Hao Ren smiled slightly. "It counteracted the assimilation effect of Laherien's dream on us, so we can carry out activities in a fully awake state. If there is no such imprint, then we probably Really start to accept tasks in that White Maple Leaf City to make a living, and then continue to repeat for hundreds of years and thousands of years, until the goddess wakes up on her own initiative... "
The Goddess of Creation spread her hands: "When I was asleep, I was just Leah, and even I was deeply in a dream, so it's none of my business."
Hao Ren: "..."
Why do you suddenly feel that the painting style of this goddess has oscillated
While the others broke out in a layer of cold sweat after hearing Hao Ren's words, Nangong Sanba looked at the back of his hand: "Damn it... I suddenly feel so nervous after hearing this, if you don't have this thing, don't It is said that we have seen through the truth of the dream, and we will even forget who we are... Eh, wait, no, according to what you said, this imprint should have disappeared from the beginning, why didn't all of us pay attention Are you there?"
"Of course I didn't notice, didn't you find out? You all suddenly remembered the existence of this resurrection mark after I reminded you just now," Hao Ren said unhurriedly, "If I guessed right, this mark was Instead of accepting the assimilation of Laherien's dream, it became a part of that dream and disappeared from everyone's memory at the same time. If it weren't for this, we would not be able to completely isolate Laherien Grace's influence."
Speaking of this, Hao Ren suddenly remembered something, so he quickly opened the portable space and released Doudou. The little mermaid was probably playing in his aquarium before, and when he was suddenly released, he was holding a delicate Little Conch, with a happy expression on her face—then the happy expression turned into a bewildered expression, but soon turned into a happy one again. She jumped onto Hao Ren's shoulder in a flash, holding the bag in her hand while jumping. The conch waved back and forth: "Dad! I dug a sandpit in that big water tank! There are a lot of shells in it!"
"Okay, okay—let me see the back of your hand," Hao Ren grabbed Baby Yu's arm while coping with the little guy's fussy behavior, "Sure enough... even if you stay in the portable space, Doudou's resurrection mark will be consumed Lost, and she was only active outside for a short period of time when we just arrived in Laherien and before we entered White Maple Leaf City. After that, the portable space she stayed in was a place that could isolate cause and effect from time and space, theoretically will not be disturbed by dreams, so as I guessed, the imprint is consumed at the beginning, and after that we get a 'waking buff', even with Leah who is the source of dreams Contact, we are not affected by her at all... "
At this time, Nolan, who was always floating in the sky and not participating in the topic, suddenly said: "Boss, why don't you say that I was not assimilated by the dream? I don't have any resurrection marks at all."
Miss Jianniang's words immediately stopped Hao Ren. He opened his mouth but couldn't explain why. But at this moment, the Goddess of Creation, who was hanging by the side, took the initiative to answer Nolan's doubts. : "Because your existence is beyond my comprehension."
Nolan: "Huh?"
"Dreams have limits. Even if there is more room for variation, I can't describe something I don't understand. You... a part of you is completely beyond my knowledge, and it is beyond Laherien If I controlled that dream while awake, I might still be able to find a way to give a reasonable explanation for your existence, but Laherien operates automatically, which also causes it to have no A way to assimilate you... "
Hao Ren listened to the goddess' explanation in a daze. At first, he didn't understand how a civil-grade spaceship like Nolan could surpass the understanding of the goddess of creation. Education is also a model of self-taught, at least she can understand things in the universe, but soon he thought of Nolan or something with the most technological content on the Giant Turtle Rock—
It was the void engine.
The Goddess of Creation clicked on the technology tree silently by herself, and the highest achievement at the end of the click was nothing more than successfully throwing Vivienne and Ugudora Hill's Ark into the next-door watch world, so she didn't grasp the real crossover at all. World navigation technology, but Nolan... She has a void engine that can sail in the void and travel freely through the world!
In addition to this engine, whether it is the other conventional equipment of the Giant Turtle Rock, or the personal equipment of Hao Ren and his party, and the life forms of the members, they are all things that can be easily analyzed and reproduced by the Goddess of Creation, so they can completely sink Entering the dream of Laherien, but because of the existence of this engine, Nolan was "stuck" in the process of being assimilated by the dream...
The questions about Laherien's dream were answered one by one, Hao Ren felt a little enlightened, but the Goddess of Creation suddenly stretched her waist at this moment: "Although I really want to continue chatting with you, it seems that we are already It's been too long in the ruins. If you don't mind, how about we leave this place and continue these conversations? I still have a lot to do... "
Hao Ren knew that the "many things" that the goddess said might still include her plan to destroy the whole family, but at this time, it might not be so easy to persuade the other party to give up this plan immediately and accept his new plan, so he decided to After going out, I will slowly communicate with this poorly educated but reckless goddess about saving the world.
However, before leaving the Dark Realm, he still had one thing that he was very concerned about: "I have one last question, which is about the dream of Laherien itself-is it really created by you out of thin air? Or is there... some kind of origin?"
As he expected, the Goddess of Creation's expression changed slightly after hearing this question, and then she raised her head, looking past the palace ruins floating in the darkness, and cast her gaze into the depths of the vast chaos: there, A torn planet is quietly suspended in space, and a faint mist that shimmers is shrouded in the surface of the split planet.
Just as one can see Broken Heaven when looking up at the sky from the land of Laherien, one can also see Laherien by looking up at the sky in "Broken Heaven". Reality and dreams have a wonderful meeting point here.
Due to the obstruction of the chaotic fog, even with half-divine eyesight, the details on the surface of the planet cannot be seen clearly, but from some blurred outlines, some things on the surface of the planet can still be vaguely discerned.
Like a long and narrow plain surrounded by two mountains...
"Did you see it..." After a long time, the goddess looked away and sighed softly, "That's right, that's Laherien... a place that used to really exist."
"It was involved in the explosion of the Kingdom of God?" Hao Ren asked curiously, "And then you took it as the prototype of that dream?"
The goddess' voice was a little low: "No, it was originally here... outside the boundaries of the world."
Hao Ren's eyes widened instantly when he heard this sentence, and he almost jumped up: "Wait! You said that Laherien... was originally here? In this universe that is almost out of order, almost Will fall into the void?!"
At this moment, a huge amount of information poured into Hao Ren's mind, and countless conjectures and conclusions jumped out one after another, which almost made him feel like his brain was about to boil, and these conjectures and conclusions were the most direct and the most exciting. The unbelievable one took up most of his brain capacity:
Outside of the Dream Plane and the Surface World, did there ever exist a third universe? !
"Surprised, isn't it? I was also surprised at the beginning," the goddess of creation said lightly, "When the founding star exploded, I thought I would be thrown out of the world along with the broken kingdom of God. The place you called 'The Void' was completely annihilated, but unexpectedly, it fell into this place—a small, narrow and dark universe, and there is even a planet called Laherion, where a group of aliens live on it. Indisputable mortal. At that time, I was almost dead, and only the remaining thoughts were still hovering in the wreckage of the founding star. I tried my best to restrain the energy impact of the founding star spreading outward, and it took about two hundred years Right... But it failed after all, the shock wave erupting from the ruins of the Kingdom of God tore apart everything in this small universe, including Laherien."
From that day on, the Goddess of Creation, who had been severely injured, truly fell into a deep sleep, and Laherien became a dream of hers.
