Under the cover of the complicated but straightforward material world, there are many things that are far beyond human understanding. What the naked eye can see is only the most insignificant layer of camouflage in this world. From the soul's perspective, the world is much more complex than it appears.
The physical plane of Tanagus, a planet utterly altered since it was swept by a surreal catastrophe, may have been scary enough, but the unreal it hides is even more terrifying. There are countless restless ancient souls wandering on this planet. The tide of energy and information triggered by the eldest son has surged on the earth for 10,000 years, leaving countless visible or invisible supernatural heritage. The memories of the Tana people were separated from their bodies, drifting on the planet with the tides, being entangled and distorted into indescribable monsters together with many other information, but at some nodes, they can still be contacted To those ancient souls who can still think—as long as the contactee has some suitable talents.
When Hao Ren stretched out his hand towards the distorted transparent air, he felt as if his consciousness had been withdrawn from his body for a moment, and it seemed that a huge spiritual force had poured into his brain and cut off his perception of the outside world. He felt as if he was standing in a vast nothingness, surrounded by countless chaotic gray-white mist, and one... or countless shadowy phantoms were standing in the depths of those mist, and they were paying attention to him.
Hao Ren woke up from the momentary shock, and subconsciously wanted to concentrate on getting rid of this state - he had experienced many otherworldly experiences, and now he has mastered the method of using spiritual power to resist this supernatural erosion. But just when he was about to take action, a voice suddenly came from the direction of those phantoms: "Please don't be nervous, stranger, we have no malicious intentions."
"Who are you?" Hao Ren asked while lowering his head to observe his body. Not surprisingly, he was floating in this chaos in the form of pure consciousness. He could feel that his body was still in the real world, and it was only a temporary connection. No: it reminded him of his experience with that giant brain.
"We are the natives of this planet," said the phantom behind the mist. It does not distinguish between male and female, nor can it see the distance. It was hard to tell whether it was a shadow or countless shadows overlapping each other. When it spoke, Hao Ren only felt a buzzing echo mixed in, "We are Tana people."
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and said, "Oh, as expected, I thought there were only crazy angry spirits on this planet."
"There are indeed only crazy souls here." The phantom said unhurriedly, "All spirits have lost their ego. Strictly speaking, the 'us' in front of you is just a set of data, and we can no longer be called To ourselves for any form of life...we are the memory of all Tana."
"I know about your life form transformation," Hao Ren didn't pursue the difference between "memory crystal" and "soul". He noticed that his connection with this chaotic realm was weakening, perhaps the Tana people's psychic ability It doesn't connect well with the spirit of the people on earth, "What went wrong back then? Why didn't you escape the catastrophe after changing your life form? How did you become that kind of irrational... monster?"
"We thought we could escape the ecological disaster by getting rid of the flesh and blood body, but we didn't realize that the massacre in the material world was just the mildest side of the whole disaster. After leaving the material world, we faced even more terrifying distortion and chaos," said the phantom floating slightly. Hao Ren felt another wave of spiritual force coming towards him, "Stranger, please see for yourself."
This spiritual force is not corrosive, it is just showing a memory to people, so after confirming its safety, Hao Ren calmed down and looked at the ancient memory from 10,000 years ago.
In a trance, he found himself standing on a majestic city wall, surrounded by a magnificent city made of gold, with the whistling wind in his ears, and countless translucent tall figures running around him, tall and tall. Shouting: "The No. 3 protective wall is broken! The robot can't stop those tentacles!" "Medical soldiers. Medical soldiers are needed here, and the wounded who have been withdrawn from the protective wall need to be treated..." "Earthquake. The earthquake is coming again! ""The tentacles have pierced the foundation, and the protective wall is cracking..."
Hao Ren realized that this was a certain scene more than 10,000 years ago, and he was watching all this from the perspective of a soldier standing on the city wall back then.
He found that the perspective of "himself" was slowly sweeping across the city wall, and looked out of the city with a violent trembling, which revealed an indescribable fear.
Outside the city, the ground was cracked, and the huge mountains were surging and rolling around like living things—they were real living things, because the mountains were part of the firstborn son's tentacles!
The whole world seems to be covered by those tentacles and giant trees, the boundless body of the eldest son surges and devours everything, and in the gaps between those tentacles, you can see dark red liquid slowly flowing, which is similar to the "source" Substances very similar to "blood" are decomposing the last bits of life residue outside the shelter. And the sanctuary is the last ray of light in this hellish world: crumbling and insignificant, the eldest son lashing out at the last two or three walls of Allamanda in rage, the geological structure of the whole city is constantly The shock, even a large number of tentacles spread across the wall to the energy shield of the city, almost completely burying the last light of the city.
For ordinary people, even just a glimpse of this weird hellscape is horrifying.
Then Hao Ren felt his perspective shake again, and then he saw the scene of Dannian's "promotion" ceremony.
The last surviving Tana people gathered in the square near the Tower of Promotion, lifted up to the sky by some inexplicable force, the golden tower released a nebula-like electric light, and the innate soul power of the Tana people was in the sky. Sublimated in resonance. Their spirits were extracted and materialized, and their bodies gradually disintegrated into dots of light—at the last moment of the end, the Tana people finally realized that the tentacles spreading on the ground were tracking life reactions, so they even completely abandoned their own corpses Otherwise, those tentacles will not stop strangling the city.
As the last of the clansmen were sublimated into spirit bodies, the dome of Alamanda descended with a radiant radiance, a deadly radioactive ray, the "final life-clearing order" set by the Tana people. All normal organisms throughout the city will die quickly in the radiation, including the most tenacious single-celled organisms.
Only when the breath of life is completely wiped out can the pursuit of the eldest son stop.
From that moment on, there was only one creature left on the planet Tanagus: the eldest son who had grown stronger than ever. It has covered the whole world.
Hao Ren's consciousness continued to move forward with the external memory, and he finally realized the perspective of the Tana people after they became spirit creatures. He "sees" that he is gradually rising into the sky, with countless translucent souls floating around him. The owner of this memory is looking at the material world and the soul world from a new perspective. After adapting to the new "body", he looks to the end of the horizon and sees the surging tentacles and the huge, weird, inexplicable things in the tentacles. Nomenclature of biological tissue.
Intense panic surges up from memory
An unprecedentedly terrifying huge shadow floated above those tentacles, and a large amount of frenzied spiritual power quickly diffused from the gaps in the tentacles, growing into a wave of darkness covering the entire planet. The tentacles of the Firstborn waved wildly in the dark, chaotic mud, as if mocking those Tana people who thought they could escape death by transforming their life forms.
No one had ever seen such a thing swarming around the Firstborn—it wasn't until the Tana became spirits that they realized that their enemies were far more terrifying than they thought.
In the vision of the soul, the soul form of the eldest son is far more irresistible than the physical form.
"It possesses unrivaled soul power, even stronger than its tentacles and red tides - a pity we don't realize this until we become spirit beings. This transformation is one-time, irreversible, time is pressing, and we don't even have time Let some people transform first and then confirm the situation, we have suffered a catastrophe," Hao Ren's consciousness broke away from the terrifying memory, and he heard the "revenant aggregate" of the Tana people talking to himself, " It shattered the 'ego' of every Tana people. It should be a terrible electromagnetic storm. All souls were mixed together in the storm. The thoughts, memories, and personalities of millions of people were forcibly fused, and finally became Became..."
"The spirit of anger," Hao Ren finally came to a complete realization, "In essence, it is a kind of garbled code."
"Everything is over, and in the end only we survive," the phantom said flatly, "We are a memory bank endowed with a false personality, a copy of the Tanagus civilization. Perhaps the destructive power does not think that we It's a form of life: non-material beings, non-energetic beings, and that's why we've survived to this day."
Hao Ren sighed: "Is there anything I can do to help?" (To be continued~^~)
