Chapter 552: World of Consciousness: Towards the World

After leaving his last words, Emperor Xing's figure slowly disappeared among the stars.

Yu Cang opened his mouth and wanted to ask something else, but Di Xing did not give him the chance to ask.

Soon, this space became quiet. Distant stars at an unknown distance outlined meteoric lights on the horizon. Yu Cang suddenly felt a strange force being drawn away from his body. At this moment, he could leave this place at any time.

Just now when Di Xing was here, he felt like he was having a lucid dream. Although he was aware that it was a dream, he couldn't wake up.

Now, he felt that he could wake up at any time.

However, he was not in a hurry to go back, but began to look at the world around him.

At this point, he was already very sure of where this place was.

Starry sky vision!

And it is a deep level that he has not been able to reach yet.

The starry sky vision has different depths, and what he can reach now is still a very shallow area.

To explore deeper, you can no longer just rely on a complete rhythmic body to be domineering. Strength will also become a necessity.

The star arsenals brought by the princess are now sleeping in the deep starry sky vision, waiting to be awakened when Yu Cang has enough strength.

Yu Cang took a deep breath, took a step, and began to walk in the nearby area.

Compared to the shallow layer, the background here is purer, with only darkness and pure starlight. As for the rhythms that should have been visible, none of them can be seen.

La once told Yu Cang some common sense about the starry sky vision, which is the "realm of consciousness".

Generally speaking, the starry sky field of view can be understood as the earth, and different depths represent different "eras".

As we all know, due to the movement of plate tectonics, in some areas, rocks and soil are deposited layer by layer. The deeper the deposit, the older the stone. Geologists can obtain information about the past tens or even hundreds of millions of years by examining the different geological layers.

The same is true for the Starry Sky Vision - every epoch, the Starry Sky Vision will completely disappear once.

Because this is where the sight lines of the stars intersect, when the stars go out, the starry sky vision will gradually fade and then cease to exist... As the wilderness spreads, the stars will be extinguished.

However, existence leaves traces. The Starry Sky Vision is equivalent to a huge library that records all the rhythms of an era. Even if the library is blown up, there is a chance that some of the records in it will be left behind.

These remaining records... will settle to the deepest depths, and then, when the stars of the next era light up one by one, new starry sky horizons will be born and evolved on them.

It is conceivable that those who can still survive when the "library" disappears... must be extremely powerful, so powerful that they can leave a mark in the world of consciousness that even time cannot erase!

Celestial bodies are the easiest to leave traces.

Yu Cang's gaze swept across the starry sky.

"I can't see any rhythm at all, but I can still see the starry sky, just more empty... According to what Ra said, this should be the third level of the Starry Sky Vision, the 'Toward World'."

As the name suggests, this is the dividing line between the "past life" and the "present life". If you dive deeper from here, you can see some rhythm from before the last era.

The records of the Nameless Empire include many archaeological documents about the previous era. Most of them were excavated from the deep starry sky vision... or in other words, entering the deep realm of consciousness is almost the only way to conduct archaeological research on the previous era.

But entering the deeper realm of consciousness is not that simple.

Even though the world is only the third level in terms of classification, looking at the star realm, there are very few civilizations that can reach this level.

In itself, the most basic prerequisite of entering the realm of consciousness has already blocked 99.9% of civilizations, and with each deeper level, the technology required is exaggerated countless times.

Only beings like Roland Sky Realm and the Nameless Empire, who have developed the world of consciousness to the extreme, can reach this level.

For example, the Star Armory of the Nameless Empire is moving towards the world, and can release war celestial bodies to the first and second layers at any time. This is why it has such a terrifying suppressive power over the worlds... and can travel between the star realm and the small world at any time.

I can hit you, but you can't even see me. This is the horror of the technological gap.

For individuals, reaching the third level is even more difficult than climbing to the sky.

The first level is where Yu Cang is. This is where all the rhythms of the world are recorded. As long as one has enough talent, one can easily enter and observe the world from the level of rhythm.

This level is no longer a secret for Yu Cang. He can come and go as he pleases, and he can also see some deeper rhythms by directly touching them with his rhythmic body.

However, this "deeper layer" is still within the first layer and has not touched the next layer.

When Yu Cang is able to go deeper and break through the limitations of the Starry Sky Vision with his rhythmic body, he will be able to enter the second level.

The second layer is the past of the current era.

Billions of years have passed since this era began. During this period, countless civilizations have perished and countless skills have been lost. All traces of their existence are recorded in the second layer of the Starry Sky Vision.

This is a chaotic starry sky. The traces of rhythm are disordered, conspicuous and dense, even covering up the distant starlight. What’s more, countless evil civilizations have stored some "polluted" knowledge here. If you explore here, you will be contaminated by taboos if you are not careful!

At the very least, it can cause mental distress and amnesia, while at the worst, the body of Rhythm can be directly defiled and desecrated!

Moreover, those beings that were distorted into celestial bodies could be slightly more sober at this level. They endlessly transmitted crazy ravings in all directions, instinctively venting their loneliness of hundreds of millions of years.

The dangers of the first level are at most identifying insects and the information flow that may cause your brain to crash, but in the second level, you will die directly if you are not careful!

Because it involves "celestial bodies" that transcend mythology, their gazes and words can directly penetrate the body of rhythm, so strength is necessary.

Considering that a country like Ling'e couldn't withstand the gaze of the "celestial body"... If you want to walk here, you need a myth at least.

Of course, relying on strength to force exploration is the approach of "primitive people".

For primitive people, the "deep sea" was extremely terrifying. Any creature that came would be killed and devoured, not to mention that they would die in the "environment" before encountering those creatures.

Only "mythical" primitive people can dive very deep... But modern people don't have to go through so much trouble, they just need to use technology.

"Lingzi" is this technology.

The Nameless Empire's research on spirit particles has become extremely abnormal, so with the help of spirit particles, Yu Cang does not need to reach the mythical level to enter the second level. If he rides the top-level spirit particle creation "War Celestial Body", there is no strength requirement at all.

The princess once told Yu Cang that judging from his current "Emperor Drawing the Sword", he should have met the requirements to enter the second level, but he still needed more practice to be sure.

The tens of billions of years in this era have made the area of ​​the second-level starry sky field of view unimaginably large, so everything must be done to be safe.

After passing through the second floor, you will arrive at the "world to come".

Once you enter this room, those dazzling rhythms will instantly disappear, your vision will become clear again, or even no rhythm at all will be visible, only the distant, misty starlight.

This is the dividing line. It represents the era between the last star of the previous era, which went out, and the first star of this era, which ignited.

In this period of time that may be very short or extremely long, everything no longer exists. Within the starry sky, there is only "emptiness", so there is no rhythm here.

This is where Yu Cang is now... Compared to the second floor, this place is actually safer. You don't need too strong strength to survive here. After all, this place is empty.

It is precisely because of this feature that this is the most suitable place for the "Star Mechanicus" to be stationed - there is no rhythm, and no interference. The Star Mechanicus operates here with an absurdly high accuracy, and the error in executing any instruction is almost zero!

It can also ignore the rhythm of the barriers between the star realm and the small world and travel freely.

However, safety is only relative. The danger on the third level is even more terrifying!

Evil peeps from the last era will occasionally appear. They are the last beings that survived the last era. Their abilities are so terrifying and their resentment is so deep that they can even penetrate the will of myth!

Of course, there are very few such beings, and their "real bodies" are all after the fourth level, so the probability of encountering them on the third level... is even smaller than successfully implanting a mythical-level entry directly.

Therefore, the third level is a place that is safe 99.9% of the time, but once danger occurs, death is certain.

The only thing that can protect Yu Cang from surviving such prying eyes is the Star Armory.

Now, there is obviously no protection from the Star Armory.

But Yu Cang was not panicked.

Emperor Star summoned him to this place, so it was obviously impossible for him to die so easily for such a ridiculous reason.

He looked around and saw something.

It is "dream" that protects itself.

The dream woven by Emperor Star is equivalent to directly opening a passage from the first level to the outer world. Yu Cang came here along the passage and did not step out of the passage.

There was a layer of glass between him and the past world, and they were still in two dimensions.

Yu Cang seemed to understand something.

After all, he didn't come here by his own strength, so as long as he woke up from the dream, it would be impossible for him to come back in this way.

Unless the Emperor Star calls me again... Well, it is still more reliable to practice hard on my own.

Yu Cang looked around and felt a little regretful.

In the dream state, the range of his movement was not large, but within his field of vision, he did not seem to find the Star Armory that the princess had mentioned.

It seems that the location is wrong.

What a pity... After hearing the princess praise the Star Armory to the skies, he had already been curious about the ultimate product of the evolution of the spirit particle.

If we can get one, then the mere God of Wilderness can be destroyed with a single move... Well, no, one Star Armory might not be stable, we still need two.

Yu Cang nodded.

He didn't know whether the Star Armory was really that awesome, but he just thought of it as being awesome.

Putting aside the thoughts in his mind for the moment, Yu Cang raised his head, his gaze slightly focused, as if he wanted to look deeper.

But nothing happened - he didn't have the ability yet.

The third layer is the past world, so the fourth layer is naturally the "past world"...that is the "corpse" left behind from the last era.

The remaining traces of those extremely terrifying celestial bodies are all left on the fourth floor...

However, although it is dangerous, it also has benefits.

They are like coal and oil deep in the earth. As long as they can be mined, they are endless treasures.

But according to the princess, in the entire starry sky, only the Nameless Empire possesses this kind of "mining" technology.

Back in the Divine Capital, the princess mentioned that before her brother obtained the status of the Emperor Star Chosen, the Nameless Empire created an "artificial destiny star" for him using pure spirit particles.

The raw materials for this artificial planet...are the corpses of celestial bodies from the last era!

Moreover, the information about the Emperor Star in the Nameless Empire was also obtained from the fourth level.

However, even for the Nameless Empire, the fourth layer is an extremely dangerous area. The little information related to the Imperial Star has caused countless archaeologists in the empire to go crazy and explode to death in the research institute, and the Star Armory has also exploded one after another.

"Brother Wang's" artificial destiny star is the most top-notch creation even in the Nameless Empire!

Even a powerful person like Ra did not dare to go deep into the fourth layer, and only dared to seek information on the edge of the third layer. It was not until ten thousand years after the outbreak of the wilderness that he found clues to salvation.

Yu Cang sighed.

He definitely can't get in now.

However... a new doubt arose in his heart.

Emperor Star pulled himself to the third level. Does this mean that Emperor Star's real body is now on the fourth level or even deeper?

Judging from the way Emperor Star left the stage just now, it seems reasonable.

Yu Cang rubbed his chin.

Emperor Star had survived for countless epochs, so Yu Cang was not surprised that he could emerge from the fourth floor. But now he was thinking of something else.

Yu Cang's eyes narrowed slightly.

Emptiness and order.

He has not forgotten that these two little bugs are the "key" to the "ruins" from the last era.

La searched for a long time on Yuanxing but couldn't find a way to use the key. Is it possible that... the key to the matter lies on the fourth floor?

The correct way to use the key is to let the Identification Bug eat it, and then follow the rhythm of the key to the fourth floor to open the ruins here?

From now on, the Imperial Star might have relied on the Deep Starry Sky Vision to survive between eras. So, is it possible that the civilization of the previous era also used a similar method to leave something behind on the fourth layer...

La had previously concluded that the Insect Recognition might be a weapon of war made by a civilization from the previous era in imitation of Huang.

So, using this as the key, we can probably guess what was sent here in the last era...
