Freed from the constraints of the physical body, the shell, devoid of any concrete form, drifts through the starry universe.
Under the overwhelming flow of global information and concepts, humanity will eventually be worn away little by little.
Memories will gradually fade, emotions will become indifferent, cognition will slowly be lost, and the true self will gradually be lost.
It felt like a long time had passed, yet it also felt like this moment had been frozen in time forever.
At this moment, time seemed to have lost all meaning.
“Tick-tick-tick-tick-”
However, in such a void.
The ticking of the second hand of a clock symbolizes civilized society's record of the passage of time.
Yet it echoed in this void where nothing should exist.
“Tick-tick-tick-tick-”
The second hand made a louder and louder sound, and its speed seemed to increase.
It was as if the passage of time, which had become meaningless in this starry sky, had been materialized into something tangible.
And amidst this increasingly clear and rapid ticking of the clock's second hand.
This galaxy formed in the universe seems to be changing little by little—
The expanding body was brought together, and the starry river once again took on a human form, its dazzling radiance gradually being drawn back into its body.
It seemed to be a human figure formed from flowing starlight—
The universe was flowing within His eyes, stardust formed His skeleton, and starlight draped Him in a hazy mist.
All of this highlights His inhuman nature.
However, this change was not over yet, and human cognition and emotions gradually reappeared in his consciousness.
He felt himself falling.
Gu Xinghe realized this as he regained his sense of the outside world.
And with this newfound self-awareness and understanding, the pace of change within him accelerated—
His skin returned to its normal color, and the starlight in his eyes was gradually hidden beneath his black pupils.
Then, the force he felt pulling him down became stronger and stronger.
It wasn't from some kind of chain-like restraint, but rather a gentler force.
It does not exist to restrict freedom, but only to provide a resting haven for wandering souls.
Just like anchors securing ships on the sea.
It provides ships with a stable anchor point in turbulent seas and gives passengers the freedom to leave after retrieving the anchor.
So, at that moment, Gu Xinghe chose to grab the chain on the anchor.
When the feeling of falling disappeared, Gu Xinghe once again felt the solid ground beneath his feet.
The silence that once floated among the stars was replaced by the clamor of the crowds in the market.
The cosmic wonders, which seemed to be constantly being destroyed and reborn, had turned into the ordinary and unremarkable rural scenery before my eyes.
Gu Xinghe once again walked on this land.
However, this time, he did not choose to walk quickly or move through the spaces at high speed.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe strolled along this path that seemed to him never having been there before.
But on the streets where I had already thoroughly understood the world when I looked down at it just now.
He heard the sounds of this world again—the noisy, chaotic, and cacophonous sounds.
They are like the breath of the world itself, and each rise and fall of the tide is a perfectly normal natural law.
Gu Xinghe understood this concept, incorporated it into himself, and then transcended it.
Just as he was able to transcend this world, break free from the shackles of the universe, and return to this human realm once more.
As he incorporated this world into himself, he also fully absorbed the information about it.
Countless streams of data had materialized and flowed from top to bottom before his eyes.
Therefore, he could see the game system, whose true form was located in the fifth layer of space, with perfect clarity.
It was a mechanical body composed of countless precision parts, with each meshing gear interlocking with the others, forming a seamless whole.
Just as he had guessed, this was in order to fight against the gods who were outside the realm, eyeing this world with predatory intent and attempting to invade.
The game system created and developed this game that "captures" players from another world and brings them to this world to clear dungeons.
Through game instances that occur in reality, the game system is also analyzing the [data] that constitutes this world.
And in doing so, they blocked the invasion of gods from beyond the boundary.
The prison that confines the gods is an entity called "Information".
The game system is unable to completely annihilate these gods who were originally born in this world but were later banished to the outside world.
Therefore, the system can only analyze the pollution that the gods have spread in this world at all times.
And these pollutants, combined with the "new compounds" formed by their interaction with the world, create a spatial barrier.
This is to block the entrance for the gods to re-enter this world.
Compared to the spatial constraints imposed on us by the gods in this world.
After traversing worlds, the game system has gained more room to exert its power and influence.
Therefore, aside from constructing multi-layered spatial systems and dungeon games.
The game system begins to explore the existence of this other world to find more ways to escape the predicament.
At the same time, Gu Xinghe also realized that his own initial time travel might have been due to this.
Because of the spread of information pollution related to descriptions of deities.
Compared to other players, he, being from a different world, does indeed have a greater understanding of the current world.
Therefore, this should also be the reason why the game system initially chose him to be a player.
In order to help players in this other world quickly adapt to this dungeon game and this strange new world.
The game system also set up corresponding player live stream rooms in that other world where players were "captured".
They spread information about this world to improve players' survival rate when they first enter it.
This alternate world, which provides players with a kind of training base for transmigrators in the game system.
The reason for selecting only a small number of players (around 100) is naturally because this world is under layers of spatial blockade and constraints.
Indeed, it can only accommodate such a limited number of outsiders as players.
The game instance in the [Mind Realm] was a instance specially set up by the game system for Gu Xinghe.
This was also the last game instance he played.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe looked into the distance, seemingly looking back at all the game instances he had experienced.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze, stopped walking, and headed towards the Rose Manor.
That was the starting point for him to unlock all the game instances, and perhaps it will also be the end point where all of this comes to an end.
