When Todd regained consciousness, he found himself in a large room.

On the wall, pale blue light particles flowed like water.

Strange conduits, one after another, were laid out in every corner of the room.

Countless screens flashing different images floated and swirled rhythmically in mid-air.

Looking at everything before him, Todd felt a deep sense of déjà vu that he must have been here before.

Does it feel familiar?

A completely emotionless, synthesized electronic voice sounded behind Todd.

The latter turned around and saw an inverted metal triangle, about the size of a palm, floating in mid-air.

In the center of the triangle, there is a dark depression that sparkles with countless stars, like the night sky.

“Crystal Nest?” Todd asked. “Am I dead?”

Jing Su: "The concept of death is difficult to define the boundaries of the virtual body, but if you just want to ask whether your physical body has been damaged... then yes, you are dead."

Todd was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why are you here?"

A ray of light flashed from the dark indentation on Jing Su's body: "I shouldn't be here, but you are a special being... no, you are all special beings."

Todd said in confusion, "You? I don't understand."

Jing Su turned her body, and a beam of red light shot out from the dark recess, slowly pulling a screen that was floating in mid-air to Todd's front.

The scene in the picture is a street that can be seen anywhere on Earth.

A man who had just been drinking was unable to dodge in time and was hit by a car speeding from behind, flying into the air.

The scene shifts, and the man appears in the room, facing Jing Su with a look of panic.

At this point, Todd realized that the man in the picture was his previous life—Xia Shang.

Looking at the screens floating in the air, Todd sighed, "Are these all memories from my past life?"

Jing Su released the screen and said to Todd, "Every individual with soul memories, that is, the reborn person you mentioned, has such a space to store memories of their past life."

Todd understood the deeper meaning in the other person's words: "You mean, only reborn people have rooms like this?"

Jing Su: "For normal individuals, from birth to death, their souls are like disposable containers carrying messages. When the body dissolves, their souls also decompose into pure energy information bodies, passing through dark matter to reach the outer high wall. However, the souls of the reborn are special; they do not decompose, and each one remains intact, passing through those channels."

Hearing Jing Su's words, Todd was confused. He hurriedly asked Jing Su, "Wait a minute! You just said dark matter, outer layer, high wall... what exactly are those things?"

Jing Su didn't answer, but turned around and opened the door to the room with a red light. As she floated outwards, she said, "Come with me, I'll show you the truth."

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Todd stepped out of the gates of his soul and into the outside world.

The outside world is a gigantic, enormous pipe.

Standing before the door, Todd looked up and down. Below him was a bottomless, pitch-black abyss, and above him was a starry sky with no end in sight.

His soul portal was located on the wall in the center of the pipe, surrounded by countless other portals arranged around Todd's room.

These doors are neatly arranged and evenly distributed throughout the entire pipeline.

Jing Su slowly drifted towards the pale blue pillar of light in the center of the pipe. Finding Todd still hesitating and not moving, she said, "Come on, we need to go up."

Looking down into the abyss, Todd hesitated and said, "There's no way out here."

Jing Su: "You are no longer a physical entity. You don't need stones and soil to provide you with a place to stand."

Todd took a deep breath and tried to take a step forward, only to be surprised to find that his body could float in the air, no longer bound by gravity.

Jing Su: "Don't let your thinking be bound by the physical world. You need to look at everything that's coming from a completely new perspective."

Todd nodded and followed Crystal into the pillar of light.

Within the beam of light, everything around them accelerated downwards.

The ascent accelerated, until finally only a blurry halo filled the outside world.

When Todd reached the finish line, he found himself in a nebula, with countless stars and planets moving slowly beneath his feet, and auroras made of stardust shrouding his head like a veil.

Crystal left the pillar of light and floated into the air, "looking" at Todd and gesturing for him to come closer.

Jing Su watched Todd slowly approach and asked him, "Look around you, what does this place look like?"

Todd: "Huh? This is the starry sky? The nebula we're standing on looks a bit like the Milky Way, and the one further away looks a bit like Andromeda..."

Jing Su said again, "I told you, don't let your mind be bound by the physical world."

Todd frowned: "Bound by the physical world?"

Suddenly remembering his own soul identity, Todd opened his eyes wide and used his soul vision to look at the starry sky in front of him.

Soon, to his surprise, he discovered that he was seeing another world.

Countless pale blue particles converged into streams and patches of fluid trails, overflowing from every nebula and every planet, flowing regularly in a fixed direction.
