Chapter 462 Compatibility Conjecture
Since embarking on the path of cultivation for thousands of years, Yun Qingzi has seen the warmth and coldness of human nature, separation of life and death, and has personally experienced countless hardships, ups and downs. He still has many insights and opinions about life.
But it’s really hard to sum up the feeling after death...
Especially since this process was completely different from what he had imagined.
"Relax, it's normal for people who come here for the first time to feel confused," Yu Sheng also saw the confusion in Yun Qingzi's eyes, and said with a smile, "Of course, the people who came here before were at most mentally dying. It's the first time that someone has really died like you..."
Yun Qingzi sat on a bench in the cathedral and hesitated for a long time before looking into Yu Sheng's eyes and speaking: "Daoyou, are you the god who rules the afterlife?"
"Lord God? No, no, you're overthinking it. I'm just an ordinary person... Okay, maybe not that ordinary, but I'm just a human being," Yu Sheng waved his hand and pointed at the surroundings, "but this place is indeed mine. You can think of this as my 'cave', it's a little special and can accommodate spirits..."
Yu Sheng roughly told the old man in front of him about the situation in the Soul Wilderness, and mentioned the possible reason why the other party arrived here after death (blood giving). During the whole process, Yun Qingzi did not speak. He just listened very carefully, as if... he first followed his master to embark on the path of Taoism thousands of years ago.
Yun Qingzi looked into Yu Sheng's eyes, at this unknown being who solemnly stated that he was a "human being" and even tried to state that he was an "ordinary human being" (unsuccessfully).
Yu Sheng told him a lot of things, most of which were honest and credible, but the credibility of his words "I am a human" was absolutely zero in Yun Qingzi's mind.
The old man has seen a lot in his life, and he firmly believes that the person in front of him, even if he is Concrete No. 42, cannot be a human!
Is there anyone like this?!
But as Yu Sheng enthusiastically talked about many things related to this soul wilderness and some knowledge about "blood granting", Yun Qingzi quickly suppressed the urge to question in his heart.
A person is a person, it's better than being something else.
Afterwards, Yu Sheng introduced Luna next to him and Irene in the oil painting.
Before this, with the help of the eyes of those "black-robed monks", Yun Qingzi had "seen" their appearance in the real world, but when he arrived in this soul wilderness, he really didn't recognize them.
"No wonder, when I saw this blonde girl, I always felt that her aura was somewhat familiar, but I couldn't remember where she was," Yun Qingzi looked at Luna in realization, and then glanced at Irene with some confusion, "But this Irene girl... her aura here has completely changed, and I don't feel familiar at all."
"That's right, the C-shaped buckle is so shallow, I have so much depth!" Irene immediately hugged the bear and raised her head in the oil painting, although she didn't know what was so cool about it, she had already acted like a spoiled child, "Look at my frame, isn't it handsome..."
Yun Qingzi: “…”
"Don't bother with her. Irene is just like that. When you feel like you can't keep up with her, just let her show off on her own," Yu Sheng waved his hand and looked at the old man in front of him curiously. "I've finished my introduction. Is it your turn now?"
Yun Qingzi thought for a moment and told everything he could remember about what happened after he came here.
"...I only gradually 'woke up' halfway through the journey. At first, I only remembered a few hazy fragments. Later, with each step, my mind 'filled' a little more...
"I came across a big bonfire on the way. There were twelve stone pillars around the bonfire. I rested beside the bonfire for a while. Then, somehow, I suddenly 'knew' which way to go next...
"By the way, I have something else with me, and I think you might be interested in it..."
As Yun Qingzi was talking, he suddenly remembered something, and then he rummaged in his arms, and in front of Yu Sheng, he took out an irregular crystal the size of a walnut.
Irene, who was floating nearby, saw the texture and color of the crystal at a glance, and suddenly froze in mid-air, then fell to the ground with a thud: "Fuck—"
The next second she rushed up again, jumping in the painting as if she was going to jump out: "What the hell did you bring back, old man! Why is it still here?!"
"Calm down, calm down." Yu Sheng quickly grabbed the jumping oil painting and asked Irene to calm down while he set his eyes on the "seed" in Yun Qingzi's hand. After observing it for a moment, he freed his other hand and reached out, "Give it to me and let me have a look."
Yun Qingzi handed the seed over and said, "It should be harmless, but I am not knowledgeable enough to jump to conclusions. It would be better if you check it carefully."
Yu Sheng took the seeds and looked at them carefully, frowning from time to time, looking thoughtful.
After a long while, he suddenly looked up at Luna.
Luna came over holding her golden two-handed holy sword, her steps were powerful and she had the aura of a killer.
“Stop, stop, stop!” Yu Sheng was sweating coldly and quickly stepped back. “I’m not bleeding you—I’m asking if there’s any place in the church yard where I can plant some trees.”
Luna was stunned for a moment while holding the holy sword, then she put the sword down with an expression of disbelief: "Master, you want to plant this thing... here!?"
"Fuck, are you two going to such a big deal?" Irene was also shocked. She turned her frame and looked at Yu Sheng. "You're calling me master here?"
Yu Sheng: "...So that's all you care about? Wouldn't you be surprised if I planted the seeds of the star-derived body here?"
"Nonsense, you usually have so many brilliant ideas, how could I be surprised?" Irene put her hands on her hips in the picture frame, but soon frowned and changed her tone, "But then again, are you sure this thing... can be planted?"
Yu Sheng didn't say anything for a while, just stared at the crystal in his hand.
The crystals reflected a dim glow in his eyes.
And at a deeper level of "perception", he can observe more things.
The moment he got the seed, he rebuilt his connection with it - now, he could "read" the information it carried, understand its structure, and even vaguely see what it would look like when it grew up.
A giant pure white crystal tree takes root in the wilderness of the soul, its crown shades the church and its branches stretch toward the sky.
The seed is in a light sleep, imagining and outlining what the future will look like in its dreams.
"...It's the third generation." Yu Sheng suddenly said.
Irene blinked: "…What do you mean?"
"The first generation is the 'Mother Vine' from another world, the second generation is the Derivative Star Body wandering in our universe, and the third generation is this seed," Yu Sheng raised his head and patiently explained the information he read from the seed, "If my judgment is correct, the Derivative Star Body finally broke through His 'Ascension Cycle', and this seed is the result."
Irene widened her eyes slightly. "Ah...wait, no, how did the Derivative Star Body do that? Didn't they say that 'He' had been stuck in a dead loop a long time ago?"
Yu Sheng did not answer immediately, but could not help but recall the "bloom" that bloomed above Taixu Lingshu in his mind.
The Dark Angel is an "alien object" that is not tolerated in this universe and is rejected by the laws of all things. Therefore, it can only be stuck in its own vicious circle as "alien debris". As a result, Ankaela is stuck in a fairy tale dream, and the Derivative Star is stuck in His own "ascension cycle". This "stuck" phenomenon has always been unsolvable.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this "stuck" that the Dark Angel has become an "unkillable" natural disaster in this world.
They themselves are trapped in an endless loop, and for those threatened by the angels, they are also unable to kill a "thing that does not exist in logic."
Yu Sheng slowly fiddled with the seeds in his hand, his thoughts unconsciously extending, and some things that had troubled him for a long time gradually showed clear outlines in the depths of the fog -
Everything stems from the "intolerance" between different universes.
...What if they are "compatible"?
Complete compatibility is difficult to achieve... But what if we just build an "interface" between the two systems? Even if it's just a piece of information that can be read by both systems, an inconspicuous footnote, a moment of intersection.
Died in a foreign land.
Yu Sheng raised his head and said to the people around him very seriously: "Death is the greatest common denominator between the Dark Angel and this world - even at the moment, it may be the only common denominator."
Irene was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Luna: "What did he say?"
"I don't know," Luna shook her head, but then said firmly, "It must be something that makes sense anyway."
"You should sit at the same table with the stupid fox!" Irene glared, then turned around and knocked Yu Sheng's arm with the picture frame, "I don't understand the common denominator, just talk about this seed... Anyway, you mean that this thing is harmless, right? But why do you have to plant it? After all, this thing was born from that 'derivative star body', it always feels a bit awkward."
Yu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea..."
As soon as he said these words, Irene waved her hand in the painting: "Okay, I understand."
Yu Sheng: "... No, I just said I have an idea. Do you want to hear the details?"
"You said you had an idea, what else can I say? Of course I can only obey," Irene said confidently, but finally curled her lips, "Okay, since you can't hold it back, tell me, what do you want to do?"
"This seed may represent the possibility of the Dark Angel's 'compatible transformation' into this universe," Yu Sheng looked at the little doll seriously and explained patiently, "Of course, it is still very weak now and I can't see its 'power', but I want to try to cultivate it in a targeted way - maybe one day, we will be able to fully master this 'compatible transformation' technology."
Irene listened and thought about it seriously.
I haven't figured it out.
"Okay, I completely understand," the little doll gave the student a thumbs up and smiled brightly, "That's a good idea, I support you!"
Yu Sheng: “…”
He suspected that the puppet understood nothing, and he didn't need any evidence.
But it’s not a big problem, he’s used to it anyway.
