Chapter 804 Narrative Perspective
The observer's will poured into the dark and profound transcendent blood, spreading out with all its might.
It is dark, turbulent, distorted and disordered, this is the weirdness that subverts the concept of space.
Bai Donglin calmed himself down and avoided all kinds of negative abnormalities by relying on his will to ignore everything. In an instant, the will spanning tens of thousands of super thoughts had stretched to its limit, but it still could not touch the edge of the abstract and hazy space. He couldn't help feeling a little powerless in his heart.
"There is no mistake. It is indeed the blood of the Transcendent!"
The same feeling of powerlessness reminded Bai Donglin of the transcendent blood he encountered in the statue on the Corpse Continent. He could not see the difference between the two. His only feeling was that they were unfathomable and difficult to describe.
The difference from last time is that his strength is vastly different, and the area covered by his will is thousands of times larger, so he should be able to capture more things.
“Here it comes!”
Bai Donglin was shocked. As expected, those indescribable characters that overloaded his mind just by forcing himself to remember them appeared again.
They seem to be ghosts with life, shuttling and jumping back and forth in the abstract and hazy endless space. With a slight flash, they can escape the perception of the will. Their speed is so fast that it defies common sense and there is no pattern to be found.
"What on earth are these things? What form do they take? What is their function?"
"This shouldn't be as simple as ordinary conceptual power!"
"Hmm? Could it be..."
Bai Donglin didn't know what he was thinking about. A flash of inspiration emerged in his mind, and a lot of information was intertwined in his heart. His inexplicably excited intuition locked onto one of the myriad ideas.
“Narrative-level Transcendent!!”
Narrative, pataphysics, for narrative-level transcendents, they are above all the real narrative worlds of existence in which they exist, and all known and unknown are contained and controlled by the narrative.
Narrative transcendence does not only refer to the bottom level of narrative that has initially broken the fourth wall, but is the highest level once it is proven. It is at the top of the narrative ladder, even transcending the narrative.
As for the rest, more...
Bai Donglin frowned, he didn't know. His understanding of the narrative level only reached this extent. It was an ambiguous statement summarized after he tried his best to collect information over the years.
He imagined that this drop of blood came from a narrative-level transcendent, which would explain why these jumping "characters" were so difficult to understand. He had just touched the power of concepts not long ago, and it was definitely not so mysterious and unpredictable.
From this we can see that this should be the power of narrative, another kind of terrifying power.
"If it is the power of narrative, perhaps it can change one's self-perception and observe from another perspective..."
Bai Donglin's will was agitated, and he began to distort his cognition through his understanding of the narrative level. This was a very dangerous behavior, and if he could not recover from the disordered cognition afterwards, it would lead to the loss and collapse of the self.
However, as he is in the observer state, he does not have to worry about encountering such a bad situation.
boom--
After a moment of blank consciousness, Bai Donglin's memory was temporarily isolated, and his cognition of everything that had happened was tampered with from the root.
At this moment, in Bai Donglin's eyes, everything became false, including the endless heavens, the myriad races, the black disaster, the transcendents, everything that happened in the only true world, and even the fictional character named "Bai Donglin"...
His self transcended as his cognition distorted, and everything in the real world became a false world depicted in books, whether it was Bai Donglin or the transcendent.
And he was just an ordinary mortal who accidentally opened this book and saw this vast and brilliant false world, and also saw the meaning of the "text" represented by the so-called blood of the transcendent.
Distorted perception!
Simulate narrative perspective!
"Well, the blood of the narrative-level transcendent—Valunshadi—carries the power of sacrifice."
The sound of pages turning rang out strangely in my heart .
"The blood left on the corpse continent is..."
A hint of doubt appeared in the distorted cognition. At this point, Bai Donglin did not know who the transcendent blood in the statue came from. The simulated perspective naturally could not break the logic and see the specific information about "Him", so distortions and freezes would occur.
"The meaning of that character - suppression and isolation!"
boom--
After seeing through the meaning of the characters, Bai Donglin's backup plan in his distorted self-cognition was triggered, and he fell from the narrative perspective. His cognition was also corrected, and he returned to the real world.
“Phew, that was a close call!”
Bai Donglin was horrified. He was a little too arrogant. It was only the first time, but he used the method he had imagined to such an extent. If it were not for the observer state that ignored all negative factors, he would probably have lost himself in the confused cognition.
Although it was only a brief moment, it was more dangerous and terrifying than being trapped in the "real illusion" at the beginning. This was completely courting death.
After a long time, Bai Donglin came to his senses, but there was still some throbbing in his heart. He really didn't want to try that weird feeling again. The feeling of losing himself and the emptiness of existence was maddening.
"It turns out that the purpose of this drop of transcendent blood is sacrifice!"
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
Bai Donglin understood the meaning of those characters, but that was all. It did not mean that he could understand them and master their power. These were two completely different things.
It is easy to understand that if the "him" who has tampered with and distorted cognition observes everything from a narrative perspective, then everything in the real world becomes a textual description in a book, which is all false and contains only basic literal meanings.
For example, a certain Immortal Emperor performed a move called "Transformation and Freedom". Readers know that this move is called "Transformation and Freedom", but how can they know the principle of this move? And how to perform it? It is completely impossible. What the narrative perspective can see is just the surface meaning of the text, just like Bai Donglin's distorted cognition just now, what he saw was just a text description - "The Polunsha Emperor left a drop of blood to sacrifice the nine evil places, and then there was nothing else."
Being able to do this is already very good, thanks to the summary of information, such as the drop of transcendent blood that suppressed the ruthless emperor. Without more information, Bai Donglin could not see the name of that transcendent person.
"It's troublesome. I didn't expect that the Gray and Silent Land would involve a narrative-level transcendent..."
Bai Donglin felt a little bitter in his heart. He roughly knew of only three descriptions of the power of transcendents: conceptual, narrative, and logical.
According to some secretive statements, logical transcendents do not exist at all and are just a concept.
Then, the narrative-level transcendents are already the overlords among the transcendents, and there are not many beings that are stronger than them.
"Hey, so Dr. Chen, who was confronting the Brahma Emperor, is also at the narrative level? Wow, we are indeed fellow countrymen. Awesome, awesome!"
At this point, Bai Donglin was still in the mood to joke, and he did not regard the current situation as a hopeless situation.
Originally, it was the same, one should wear shoes that fit one's feet. If he could handle it, he might as well give it a try. But if the development of things was completely beyond his ability, he could just run away. If the sky fell, there would naturally be transcendents to hold it up.
He is just a mere other shore, very weak and unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
"All right!"
"I want to see what this so-called sacrifice is!"
Bai Donglin suppressed his thoughts, and took one last look at the hazy space with his will, then retreated. He could do nothing about this drop of blood.
"Before that, I have to meet the phantom left by Dr. Chen to see what his plans are."
With a thought, he locked onto an avatar of himself in the most dangerous place, the Prison of Nothingness, and resurrected him.
