Chapter 377: Unspeakable Treasure House
Being inside Tai Sui's body, Chi Lian had a strange sense of familiarity.
I am the life conceived by Tai Sui, a part split from Tai Sui, and a wandering offspring.
When far away from here, Tai Sui kept calling out, asking himself to respond and pray.
But after returning to the original source, it becomes repulsive again and makes a completely different sound.
Leave, leave, go and search, go and search.
Chi Lian felt a little melancholy.
I am just a tool for Tai Sui to capture the outside world.
This ancient existence is like a god or monster. There is no so-called blood relationship, nor the joy of reunion after a long separation, only cold and direct instincts.
Chi Lian could feel that his sanity was truly and continuously being affected here.
Tai Sui has a certain ability to crush thinking and understanding. It is like a vortex of ignorance and barbarism. Anyone who tries to stare at it will be assimilated into the same instinctive monster.
If you stay here for too long, you will degenerate into your original hideous appearance.
Chi Lian felt relieved instead.
If Tai Sui was not such a carrier of pure desires and rules, but a gentle and benevolent god, he might have some slight hesitations.
Now, he has no psychological burden at all.
Tai Sui gave birth to me in order to constantly abandon and recycle me, simply using and commanding me... To some extent, I am the fishing hook thrown by Tai Sui.
Then there will be no betrayal or estrangement.
Chi Lian collected his thoughts and began to observe his surroundings carefully.
He was not sure whether Aozhu at the other end of the dragon tooth hook could see this scene of distorted rules.
Chi Lian said to the Dragon Tooth Hook beside him: "God, Teacher Slimmod, and everyone else, I don't know if you can see... the environment here is complicated."
"I can feel that my wisdom is fading, so I may not be able to stay here for long. Otherwise, I will degenerate into a monster or a beast. In this short time, I will try my best to collect information about Tai Sui."
It was stupid to answer by myself, and I didn't know if Aozhu could hear it. But it made Chi Lian feel at ease, and made him feel that he was still connected to the distant Zhou Island.
"In addition to the decline in my intelligence, I can also feel that my body is becoming stiff and numb. There is an invisible force that is restricting my movements and making me gradually become dull."
He continued to talk to himself: "The environment inside Tai Sui is very strange. It is constantly twisting and changing. Sometimes it is the cavity wall of a living animal, sometimes it turns into flat stone, and sometimes it becomes a frozen ocean or sky..."
But one thing remains unchanged.
This is a huge pit filled with rubble and dust, and above it is a black sky with no end in sight.
Chi Lian guessed that the things in the pit should not belong to the body of Tai Sui. In other words, these should be some undigested or inabsorbed things left after it devoured the world.
There are periodic strong air currents in the pit, and strong suction forces come from the sky, sucking dust and gravel on the ground into the sky - there is also a glittering all-powerful stone inside.
There was a humming sound in the air like the sound of ocean waves, and Chi Lian felt as if her ears were covered by invisible hands. The sense of Yao Shen's will became distant and weak, and Tai Sui seemed to have some strong ability to isolate herself.
Suddenly, his body involuntarily walked to the corner in front.
Chi Lian's heart was lifted, and he said to Longya Gou: "I feel the oracle, thank God for the guidance."
Among the gravel at the edge of the pit, there was a worn black boxing glove.
"Lord Yaoshen, are you guiding me to pick up this armor?"
He picked up the boxing glove and put it on his left hand carefully. Suddenly, a force lingered in his left fist.
This thing is called [Anti-Thrust Fist Gloves], it can increase defense, it is indeed extraordinary.
The revelation given by the gods made an idea flash through Chi Lian's mind.
He said to the Dragon Tooth Hook, "Friends, I decided to give it a try to see if I can find other props similar to boxing gloves. Please wish me good luck."
Chi Lian took a deep breath, and the evil spirit robe on his body turned into a white python surrounding the mountain.
Under his command, the giant white python rolled over the deep pit, digging up the gravel and thick dust, making the surroundings foggy. Not long after, the python around the mountain made a discovery.
It was a green stone sculpture shaped like a dagger. It looked like some kind of sacrificial vessel, with a dull metallic luster and delicate and intricate flowing patterns carved on the surface.
When Chi Lian touched the sword stone, he immediately knew its name.
"This thing is called the [King's Sword Talisman]. It is a fire-generating tool made by King Ben to control the Ben Cavalry... After his death, the tool was also left here."
As time went by, Chi Lian could clearly feel that his rationality was getting weaker and weaker, and his restless instincts were getting stronger and stronger. His body was reacting strongly to Tai Sui's order to leave, and the impulses of his hands and feet were even somewhat out of control of his brain.
On the other hand, the secret memory of Tai Sui in my mind is becoming clearer.
Chi Lian's face was covered with cold sweat, his hands and feet were numb, and he tried to straighten his tongue: "I am still under the influence of Tai Sui, and I may not be able to hold on for much longer. I remember, this is the [cyst] in Tai Sui's body. It has a large number of cysts in its body, and the function of the cysts is to decompose and transmit."
"The capsule will crush and decompose the substances swallowed by Tai Sui. The most important of these substances is the advanced rule matrix [World Stone]. The World Stone is the foundation of Tai Sui and the carrier of its continuous evolution... huh... huh..."
"Tai Sui digests and absorbs the World Stone, and the impurities along with the World Stone are excreted from the body by the capsule. The impurities include the Almighty Stone and World Dust..."
"The Almighty Stone is the outer shell and protective layer of the World Stone. The absorbable part is extremely fine, and the Tai Sui will excrete it, without wasting the capsule to further decompose it. The World Dust is the dust lingering around the Tai Sui. It is the sediment left after the Tai Sui has been decomposed for a long time, and it will be excreted from the body with food."
Chi Lian took a deep breath.
The tinnitus in his ears became more and more severe, and his body was extremely restless. The impulse of primitive desire resonated with Tai Sui's voice and was gradually covering up his rationality.
"Down below, at the bottom of the cyst, there is usually some special stuff that cannot be digested."
"Now I'm going to ride on the mountain python and go to the bottom. I'll take advantage of the last bit of time to see if I can find something."
Chi Lian jumped onto the giant snake's head with all her might and followed the python into the depths of dust and rubble.
Amid the flying rocks and turbulent air currents, Chi Lian clung to the giant snake, using the mountain python as his eyes and hands and feet. Soon, he felt himself entering some kind of water with extremely strong buoyancy.
Chi Lian saw that he was floating on the bottom of an almost stagnant transparent body of water.
There are many incredibly large things underwater.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There are statues that look like one-armed giants, pointed buildings that look like temples, huge bones that cross the water, and strands of condensed matter that look like hair...
Chi Lian and Da She could not sink any further as some powerful force prevented them from diving any further.
The only thing he could reach was a pottery jar at arm's length below him. There were two visible cracks on the surface of the jar, and a silly bird pecking at a fish was painted on the rough pottery.
Even so, Chi Lian and the Mountain Python used all their strength to pull the pottery jar over from below.
After getting the thing, he did not dare to stay. He flew up with the power of Tai Sui and flew all the way back to the pit above from the bottom of the capsule.
Chi Lian's mind had begun to become confused, and it seemed as if all the muscles and bones in his body were stuck together and were turning into wood and stone.
He grabbed the dragon tooth hook with the last bit of his sanity, and said tremblingly to the treasure: "I have reached my limit... I will try my best to bring these things back, friends, wish me good luck."
He lay on the body of the Python that Ringed the Mountains, letting the snake wrap around Wang Ling's sword talisman, the dragon-tooth hook, and the pottery jar, and then floated along with the world dust and drifted into the void of the universe.
Chi Lian seemed to be trapped in some stagnant river.
…
Much later, he found himself sitting in the temple.
Looking at the teacher in green clothes in front of him, Chi Lian's dry and sticky lips moved, bringing a clear sense of pain: "Teacher... I'm back?"
"Yes. Lord Yaoshen brought you back."
Slymod smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You have accomplished a feat that no other apostle could do. Not only did you escape unscathed, but you also brought back three pieces of trophy. I will offer them as sacrifices to the Lord God in your name."
Chi Lian breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the things I exchanged my life for were not lost.
"Now that you are awake, go and see your people. They have been praying for you day and night."
Chi Lian slowly stood up, his body still a little staggering. As he moved step by step, his muscles gradually recovered.
At the entrance of the temple, a young woman in a long green dress was quietly waiting. She wore a green headscarf, a gold and red gemstone necklace around her neck, and large gold earrings on her ears.
She gave Chi Lian a comforting smile: "Has His Majesty the King of Light finally woken up? It looks like today is a good day."
The other person's name appeared in Chi Lian's mind.
"Neferi..."
He looked outside the temple, and saw the Redthorn tribe members rushing in. When they saw the King of Light revive, their expressions were very complicated, with joy, curiosity, and surprise, and at the same time, there was visible awe on their faces.
Chi Lian was a little confused at this time.
Because he saw that the area around the temple had changed drastically.
Tall wooden and stone buildings were built in Guangming City, and long streets were paved with stone slabs. Wild horses that were difficult to tame in the past now tamely pulled four-wheeled carts, and camels that were originally used for war carried bundles of logs and stones and participated in the construction of urban buildings and streets.
People no longer wore animal skins. Instead, they wore light and colorful clothes, pendants around their necks and ears, and their skin became delicate and shiny.
The city of Guangming was filled with the fresh scent of flowers, and the city streets were filled with many people that Chi Lian had never seen before. Their skin colors were different, but from the way they moved, they seemed to be familiar with everything here.
Chi Lian looked for a while and vaguely recognized that those people were the former Benqi soldiers... They took off their leather armor, changed into local clothes, and seemed to have integrated into Guangming City.
The whole city, and even the whole world, seemed to have changed overnight.
Chi Lian looked up at the sun, and the strong light made him squint.
Fortunately, the sun remains unchanged.
He asked: "What on earth is going on?"
Neferi put a golden robe on Chi Lian and said, "Your Majesty, you may need to get familiar with this world again. After all, sixty years have passed since you left here."
