Chapter 534 Life on the top floor of Tianmen!
Twelve Floors of Tianmen
Yu Cang slowly opened his eyes and exhaled.
At this moment, the shock in his eyes had not yet subsided.
Just now, he used his obsessive self to directly enter the 33rd level of Tianmen from outside the chaos, and was able to briefly glimpse the scene there.
Two symbols were suspended in the center of the entire world. It was not the language of the Blue Star, or rather, it was not any language. But when Yu Cang's eyes came into contact with the symbols, he could accurately recognize that they were the two words "Xi Li", the real name of the existence named "Xi Li".
The two symbols were suspended quietly, and endless light burst out from them in all directions. This light had no color, but it was more dazzling than any light Yu Cang had ever seen. It was like the sun, and seemed even more noble than the sun.
In such light, Yu Cang should not have been able to see the name in the center, but he saw it clearly, and every detail is still vivid in his mind until now.
It was like the real name of the sun, and there was no other way to describe it except shocking.
At the same time, Yu Cang could also confirm that the light was the light he saw in the chaos.
There is no such concept as light in chaos. After all, even light needs a medium to propagate.
As for chaos, in that place even space does not exist, there is nothing but clouds and fog, how can light be transmitted?
To say that the chaotic mist is the medium for transmitting light...that's not right.
From what he saw in the chaos beyond the thirty-third floor, the chaotic mist was actually blocking the propagation of light. The light of his true name was greatly weakened after it entered the chaos and was absorbed by the chaotic mist, which was why it was so weak.
Yu Cang can see it because the obsessed self has vision, and there is no light in chaos, so what the vision should see is darkness. In this case, a point of light is very conspicuous.
A light that can spread in chaos? What does this mean?
Before Cang could think about anything, a voice came from the side.
"Yu Cang? What just happened?"
Di Changan's figure appeared in front of Yu Cang at some point.
"I sensed your presence on the thirty-third floor. Are you aware of this?"
“…informed.”
"oh?"
Emperor Chang'an's expression changed.
It seems that Yu Cang did not encounter an accident...
In that case, let’s wait a moment.
Di Chang'an secretly sent a message to Guixiang in his heart, stopping him from trying to enter the thirty-third floor.
The existence at the top level...Emperor Changan didn't dare to easily become an enemy of it.
It’s not because I can’t beat him, but because I can’t see through him.
Looking across the blue planet, Di Changan could not find any similar existence.
He couldn't even be sure whether it was a "life" or just a "natural phenomenon".
Although the interior of Tianmen is a complete space, the thirty-three "doors" divide the entire space into thirty-three layers. The environment of each layer is different. Theoretically speaking, the layers can be regarded as not being in the same space.
In short, no matter how big a being's body is, it certainly cannot span two layers... That would be equivalent to having its body split in two by the "door", which is already a very serious injury on a physical level.
Not to mention, there are differences in spatial rules between the two layers, which can easily disrupt the body's balance.
But... this guy's body spans six levels of space!
From the twenty-eighth floor upwards, traveling through the space is equivalent to walking in the body of this being!
No one would easily provoke such an unknown existence that is impossible to communicate with and whose head and tail are unknown.
Although Di Chang'an only sensed from the aura that this existence did not seem very strong, the unknowns made him dare not act rashly.
Anyway... this guy just occupies the top of the Tianmen, and has not done anything else out of the ordinary. Although his size expands a little every year, a thousand years have passed, and his growth has not yet filled up the twenty-eight floors.
Therefore, as long as it is not necessary to take action, Di Changan is willing to maintain peace with them and just observe.
Now, Yu Cang's aura on the 33rd floor has indeed disappeared, so Di Chang'an didn't say anything else, but just asked Guixiang to wait on the 32nd floor first.
Then he turned to Yu Cang and asked, "You kid... you really do get into some scary trouble. Tell me, how did you suddenly end up on the 33rd floor?"
"This... isn't difficult." Yu Cang had guessed Di Chang'an would ask this, so he said, "Because the Heavenly Gate is very close to the Primal Chaos... so I thought, since I can't get up there level by level, I might as well go around from the Primal Chaos to the upper levels and see if I can. Turns out it actually works!"
Emperor Changan: “…”
Guixiang saw the entire battle that day, so Di Changan naturally knew about it and knew everything that Yu Cang said.
Going around to the thirty-third floor from the outside... It sounds possible, but now, only Yu Cang has the ability to find souls from the chaos, and naturally, only Yu Cang can summon this obsessed self.
Therefore, Di Chang'an had no way to verify this method - but he was not so curious about the thirty-third floor. In his opinion, it must be filled with the body of that existence.
"Next time something like this happens, tell me first." Di Changan sighed. "The upper echelons are very dangerous. If we don't prepare in advance, accidents are likely to happen... At least give us old guys some mental preparation, right?"
If Yu Cang had spoken any later, Guixiang would have really rushed up to fight with that being.
Even Shouzu and Ao Hai became nervous at this moment, ready to support and return home at any time.
Yu Cang looked at Di Chang'an's expression and realized that this seemed to be something unkind.
"Sorry, sorry." Yu Cang said, "But I only went up there to explore using my obsessive self, so there's no need to worry about my safety."
"There are so many strange and bizarre abilities in this world. Who can guarantee their own safety forever?" Di Chang'an found a rock and sat down. "Tell me, what did you see on the thirty-third floor?"
"I saw something...very shocking."
Yu Cang calmed himself down, and then told Di Chang'an everything about the scene on the thirty-third floor.
Now, it was Di Changan's turn to remain silent.
He couldn't help but look up at the clouds in the sky.
"Light..."
He really hadn't thought about where the light in the sky gate came from.
After all, he has lived for a thousand years, and he has been to all the alien spaces, big and small, on the land of Yan Country.
Most alien dimensions lack the sun, and the cycle of day and night varies in different ways. The light in these worlds is derived from various strange rules.
He wouldn't be too curious about such things.
As a result... the light in the Tianmen actually came from Xili's name?
Just a name can illuminate the Tianmen Gate for thousands of years. It seems that Xili is stronger than he imagined.
At least, he himself should not be able to do this.
It's a pity that such a powerful myth died in the end because of the suspicion of mortals.
Di Chang'an sighed silently in his heart, and then continued: "And then, what else did you see?"
"Anything else?" Yu Cang was stunned.
Is there anything else in that space besides the name?
He actually wasn't very clear about it, because the name was too dazzling, attracting all his attention and leaving him no time to focus on other things. Coupled with my obsession, I quickly entered death cooling... Huh?
Yu Cang's expression changed as he realized something.
The obsessive self was killed by some existence.
It was definitely not that name that killed him.
In fact, although Yu Cang described that name as the sun, it only emitted light without much heat. It was only the source of light in Tianmen, not the source of temperature.
Therefore, even if you are in the same room with the "sun", you will not get burned.
So, what was it that killed him? This was actually very important information, but he was so shocked that he didn't notice it.
At this time, Di Chang'an reminded him, "Have you seen a shadow? It has no beginning or end, is everywhere, and makes strange sounds all the time. It seems like life, but also like it is just a part of nature."
Yu Cang: "...It seems, there is."
Yes.
That "sun" was suspended in the center of the entire space, but the space was not completely illuminated... Looking around, there were shadows in all directions.
At that time, he thought that this was a strange phenomenon caused by the bright light. But now, listening to Di Chang'an's tone, it seems that this is not the case?
Yu Cang: "What is that?"
“…It is a possible, unknown life.”
"ah?"
Why is this adjective so awkward?
While Yu Cang was stunned, Di Changan began to briefly introduce the results of his observations on that life over the years.
After listening, Yu Cang fell into thought.
This description...why did he always have an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen something similar somewhere?
What is it...
Yu Cang frowned slightly and thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a conclusion.
"So, you mean, it was that life that killed my obsessive self?"
"It's highly likely." Di Chang'an nodded. "Although I've never sensed hostility from that being, anyone who attempts to ascend to the upper levels of Tianmen will be attacked by him. You went straight to the 33rd floor, so it's normal for you to be attacked."
Yu Cang nodded in understanding.
Then, he added: "Then...what is the name of this life?"
It’s a bit confusing to say “life” and “life” every time.
"I didn't name it." Di Chang'an shook his head, "It would create unnecessary connections between us."
Yu Cang was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.
Giving a name is equivalent to creating a causal relationship.
If that being is a life, then its current state... is very likely to be in its infancy. If it is named, then it is very likely to be its "parents".
Although there might be an extra helper, what if this life form devours its parents to grow? No one can say for sure.
Yu Cang fell into thought again.
So... this is what Ao Hai said, a danger "similar" to chaos, right... Wait, chaos?
Yu Cang raised his brows. At this moment, he finally knew where the sense of familiarity came from.
And just at this moment, a voice came from the bottom of my heart.
"The summoner," Feng said, "the one who 'killed' my obsessive self was a creature of chaos!"
Yes.
Chaos creation!
Creatures born directly from chaos!
Ran Zhi once said that the thinking of chaotic creatures is generally very dull, or even non-existent. Doesn’t this perfectly match the characteristic of the existence at the top of Tianmen being almost unable to communicate?
Moreover, chaotic creations do not have fixed bodies, and what they will eventually look like depends on their understanding of the world.
There are both "palace" styles like the Imaginary Palace and "mecha" styles like Roar.
If you think about it this way, it makes sense to have such a shadow style.
Moreover, even the "Imaginary Palace" that has existed for countless times, judging from Ran Zhi's description, is still chaotic and unable to communicate with people, which makes it even more similar to that top-level life.
Yu Cang took a deep breath.
If it is a creation of chaos... then its value would be huge!
Ran Zhi said that the probability of a chaotic creature being born is very, very low, and even if it is born, most chaotic creatures will disappear after a few days. The one in front of him... has a lifespan of at least a thousand years, and it looks like it will continue to exist.
Does this mean that this top-level life form has the potential to grow to the same level as the Imaginary Palace?
That’s awesome… Although Ran Zhi didn’t know how their “king” controlled the Imaginary Palace, it wasn’t a difficult problem for Yu Cang.
There's just... one problem.
Yu Cang fell into thought again.
As the name suggests, a creature of chaos, he must be in chaos.
But you...how come you were born and raised in Tianmen?
Is this right?
The bodies of chaotic creatures are all condensed from chaotic clouds and mist. Where did you get the chaotic clouds and mist in Tianmen... That's right.
Yu Cang suddenly thought that when he was observing outside just now, the chaotic clouds and mist illuminated by the beam of "light" would gradually solidify and disappear.
Now it seems that perhaps it was pulled into the Heavenly Gate and became the body of that chaotic creature.
Uh...but the speed at which that light absorbs the clouds...can be said to be as slow as a turtle. With just this speed, will it really not be malnourished?
For a moment, he felt some sympathy for this chaotic creature.
Born in Tianmen, which is probably the equivalent of a "remote and desolate place" for Chaos, but to have survived until now, his vitality is truly tenacious.
Seeing Yu Cang's expression change, Di Changan realized something.
"Do you know the origin of that life?"
"Hmm... I guess I know."
At that moment, he told Di Chang'an all the information about the chaotic creation.
"A creature of chaos...?" Di Changan's eyes moved slightly.
Although he didn't know much about Chaos, he had read the information about the Imaginary Palace.
It seems like... this life should be very important to Cang.
"Will this thing help to perfect the super quantity?"
Yu Cang nodded immediately: "Affirmative."
If we could fix the coordinates in chaos like the Imaginary Palace, then perfecting the super-quantity system would be a piece of cake.
"Then the authority to handle this chaotic creature will be handed over to you." Di Chang'an said without hesitation, "Find a way to use it. As long as it doesn't destroy the Heavenly Gate, I will fully support you."
"Eh?" Yu Cang was stunned. "Give it to me? Is this okay?"
"No need to be polite with me." Di Changan said, "The future of the entire Yan Kingdom belongs to you."
Yu Cang: "..."
At this moment, he felt the heavy trust.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Cang nodded seriously: "I understand."
From now on, this chaotic creature is quite hostile to the outside world. He has been attacked just by getting close.
I wonder if the entry recorder can find a way...
"Scholar!" Ran Zhi's voice suddenly came from the bottom of his heart, "In fact, the obsessive self did not die from the attack of that chaotic creature."
"Oh?" Yu Cang raised his brows, "What is that?"
"The Chaos Creature isn't hostile to you. It simply wants to perceive the world... However, it lacks the ability to control the intensity of this 'perception,' which is why it's being treated as an attack... and even killed."
“…Is that so?”
That is to say.
This chaotic creature glared at him, and he was doomed?
OK, OK.
