Chapter 117 A Bizarre World Consciousness This place is truly vast and empty, only…
The place was very empty, with only eight pillars standing in the room.
Sang Zhitao touched her chest and subconsciously looked up, where a green gemstone, about the same size as her now, hung in mid-air.
Eight beams of green light emanated from the gemstone, piercing directly into the eight pillars.
Sang Zhitao frowned, her face full of confusion: "What is this?"
Liang Mo didn't reply to her, but instead looked into the depths of the room.
Dr. Lian pursed his lips: "This is an energy stone, and it's what helps us maintain the dome."
Sang Zhitao was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "What dome?"
Before Dr. Lian could reply, a voice came from all around: "After the great disaster, in order to prevent the harm of radiation, the East Country joined forces with other countries to gather the most intelligent people in the world and built a protective shield centered on the East Country. We call it the Dome."
"Since you already have a dome, why are your bodies still in giant form?" Sang Zhitao was somewhat surprised, as this was something she hadn't written in her original book.
The voice seemed somewhat surprised by Sang Zhitao's knowledge of this matter, pausing before continuing, "We were the first group to mutate under the radiation. After the dome was built, we discovered that without radiation we would die, and with radiation we would infinitely expand and also die. This is our best-case scenario..."
"So you created the microscopic world and the bubble world?" Sang Zhitao raised an eyebrow and continued to ask.
A soft chuckle came from all around: "They were already mutated by radiation and were about to die. For the future of humanity, they are a necessary sacrifice."
Sang Zhitao didn't say anything, after all, as the old saying goes, "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."
The voice seemed uninterested in listening to Sang Zhitao's follow-up questions and directly stated: "After the experimental world was established, a researcher set a joke that his elders had once told as a legend into the system, and since then, the legend of the miracle girl has existed in those two experimental worlds."
"...I never thought the Woman of Miracles really existed..." The voice paused for a long time before speaking in disbelief.
"Who exactly are you?" Sang Zhitao tilted her head and asked curiously.
Liang Mo suddenly spoke gently, whispering in her ear, "Don't be silly, that's the manager's voice."
Sang Zhitao raised an eyebrow. She knew that the administrator was the ruler of the giant world, but this was the first time she had met the person of the highest status in the world, yet she had only heard their voice but not seen them.
"I want to absorb it." Sang Zhitao was too lazy to play games with someone who didn't want to show his face, and directly pointed to the world fragment.
Liang Mo subconsciously raised his arm to cover her.
Even the doctor unconsciously took a step forward, slightly blocking Sang Zhitao's path.
After a long silence, the administrator finally spoke, saying, "No! That would mean the dome would lose its protective function. No one can be sure what's going on outside the dome right now, and I can't risk the lives of the entire nation."
Sang Zhitao insisted, "I must absorb it."
The manager remained silent for an even longer time this time, as if he had no intention of speaking again.
Sang Zhitao didn't want to act like a brat, but the other party's lack of response was also making her a little annoyed.
"I promised the administrators of the Bubble World and the Microcosm that I would break the shackles. Since you no longer need the Experimental World, why not set them free?"
“The microscopic world is fine, just use a magnification device, but the bubble world…” Dr. Lian chimed in from the side.
Liang Mo flicked the peach in his hand: "Could such a situation occur in the microscopic world?"
Dr. Lian paused, speechlessly glancing at Liang Mo's barely concealed excitement. He hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but remind her, "You... your persona has collapsed..."
Sang Zhitao couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Let's release them first. We can't really keep them as your toys forever. Besides, after I absorb the energy stone, you might be able to return to normal."
Dr. Lian coughed lightly and sighed, "Returning to normal won't do any good. Although the Microscopic World and the Bubble World live in the experimental zone, at least they have healthy bodies compared to us, who have to take herbs from birth, otherwise we don't know when we'll die."
Sang Zhitao rolled her eyes again, speechless: "Is it possible that while your tall stature is due to radiation, your weak constitution is because you don't get enough energy and you take random medications?"
Dr. Lian immediately refuted, "Impossible. Because we were concerned about the intake issue, we used amplification technology from the beginning to increase the size of the herbs, which naturally increased their medicinal properties."
"What if you take the wrong medicine?" Sang Zhitao couldn't help but continue.
Dr. Lian paused for a moment before saying hesitantly, "No... that can't be... didn't we eat like this before?"
Sang Zhitao held back for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "The medicine needs to be processed and taken in accordance with the prescription after the doctor's visit!"
"You know?!" Dr. Lian looked at Sang Zhitao with excitement, his eyes shining.
Sang Zhitao sighed deeply and looked up at the fragment of the world: "As long as you let me absorb it, I can open a trade portal to connect with the Eastern Kingdom before the Great Catastrophe. Then someone will naturally help you."
"Impossible!" Dr. Lian interrupted her directly. "How could you possibly transcend time and space to trade with the past?!"
Sang Zhitao shrugged indifferently: "We'll know once we try."
In the world she had experienced, when faced with fragments of the world, there was never any need for explanation; it seemed that every leader knew the details. However, she never expected to encounter so many obstacles in the world of giants.
This Waterloo-like experience made Sang Zhitao lose her temper and directly urged, "Can you do it or not? Give me an answer."
Dr. Lian was caught up in the clash of ideas and didn't pay attention to her for a moment.
Liang Mo wanted to agree, but her sense of duty to her manager prevented her from speaking.
The manager, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "Come and see me."
Sang Zhitao couldn't help but retort, "Why wasn't it you who came to see me?"
The administrator ignored her, and Liang Mo disregarded her objections, carrying her in one arm and pulling Dr. Lian with the other, heading straight for the administrator's hall behind the core dome.
The hall remained empty, and the ruler sat high on his throne. However, the ruler was no longer the indifferent man he once was; his eyes were slightly red, and a complex mix of emotions flickered within them.
"The Daughter of Miracles...?" The administrator's voice was weak and listless, like that of someone who had been ill for a long time.
Sang Zhitao raised an eyebrow, looking at him with some surprise: "Could you... come a little closer?"
She looked down at her legs and subconsciously compared them to Liang Mo's: "My legs are short, I can't walk over there."
The manager lowered his head slightly: "I can't get through."
"Why?" Sang Zhitao asked, somewhat surprised.
Before the manager could react, she suddenly frowned and sniffed: "Wait, why do you smell so strange?"
As she spoke, she leaned forward again, and Liang Mo almost couldn't catch her.
Sang Zhitao patted Liang Mo's arm, twisted her body, and slid to the ground.
The manager seemed not to understand her words, staring intently at her: "He was really looking forward to your arrival... but I've always felt like you didn't exist..."
Sang Zhitao ignored him and ran forward quickly until she arrived at the steps below the high seat.
"Will you allow me to go up?" Sang Zhitao raised her eyes not to look at the manager, but to look at the empty space behind him.
The manager stared at her blankly for a long while before slowly nodding.
Sang Zhitao didn't hesitate and quickly climbed up.
Liang Mo and Dr. Lian, who were behind them, were already covered in cold sweat, but they only dared to look at Sang Zhitao with worry and did not dare to take a step forward.
Sang Zhitao's climbing speed was not fast. After all, as she said, her current height was quite short compared to the normal height in the Giant World. Climbing normal stairs was like a baby climbing stairs, so she couldn't be fast at all.
Even the slowest journey will eventually come. When she stood in front of the manager, Sang Zhitao sniffed him.
“Something was definitely wrong.” Sang Zhitao took a step back, looked at the manager, and climbed onto his knees without hesitation.
The two people below were so frightened that they hurriedly stood up, but were interrupted by the manager's indifferent gaze, and didn't even dare to make a sound.
Sang Zhitao stood on the other person's knees, tiptoed, hugged the manager's head, and stared intently into the other person's eyes.
After a long while, she sighed and looked behind her: "Who are you?"
The manager smiled slightly: "I am the consciousness of the world."
Sang Zhitao exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible!"
"Why not?" the other person replied with a smile.
Sang Zhitao pursed her lips, staring intently at the other person: "If you are the world's consciousness, then who am I?"
“A dead consciousness,” the other party said without hesitation. “You died, so I was born.”
Sang Zhitao didn't refute the other party for a moment, after all, this was also her previous idea. According to the clues and memories she had, she was born on Earth and was a consciousness belonging to Earth. But what about after the Great Cataclysm?
Does she still exist?
The entity that barely claimed to be a world consciousness seemed to feel it wasn't exciting enough, and continued, "You exist in the future, and you also exist in the past. You are my ancestor and my descendant."
"Is it really no longer safe outside the dome?" Sang Zhitao ignored him and turned to other things.
The being who claimed to be the world consciousness was using the body of the administrator. He seemed not to have expected that Sang Zhitao did not intend to investigate further. A moment of confusion flashed across his face before he said, "It's not safe. I must protect the remaining children."
"Have you actually gone to see it? Or is this just your guess?" Sang Zhitao felt something was off and asked directly.
The World Consciousness sighed and remained silent for a moment: "I can no longer go see them. I am too weak now. In order to protect these children, I had to remove most of my body. Now I am so weak that I can only take over the body of this child."
"Does he still exist?" Sang Zhitao asked.
The world consciousness smiled gently: "How could it not be here? I would not harm my child."
Sang Zhitao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something when she saw the person in front of her change his expression, the clarity in his eyes gradually turning into madness.
A hint of ferocity flashed across his once serene face as he stared at Sang Zhitao, then suddenly shouted, "Why do you exist! You shouldn't exist at all! I'm right! I'm the one who's right!"
Sang Zhitao was startled and instinctively leaned back.
A hundred struggles flashed in the manager's eyes, then turned into madness.
Sang Zhitao gripped the other person's sleeve tightly, preventing herself from falling. After a moment, she sat up straight again.
She frowned as she looked at the person in front of her: "And who are you?"
The manager opposite him had slightly bloodshot eyes. He looked at Sang Zhitao with a smug look, anticipating her reaction: "I am also a world consciousness."
"Huh?" Sang Zhitao looked at him with a "you're kidding me" expression.
The manager, who possessed a mad attribute, burst into laughter. After a long while, he looked at her with a pair of deranged and empty eyes and said, "I exist in him, I am him."
Sang Zhitao was speechless. She only wanted to collect world fragments and accumulate some things related to Earth, but she didn't expect that this world was bizarre enough, and its world consciousness was even more bizarre.
Sighing, just as I was about to say something, I saw the other person suddenly lower their head.
She was startled and cautiously poked the other person: "Hey, are you dead?"
