Li Keneng was able to decide the direction of the Li family, so after reaching an agreement with Chen An and Sheila, he quickly stopped the war and sent people to negotiate with Lucia to agree on the sphere of influence.
As for the affairs of Chen Xiao and Li Wenwen, Chen An was not interested and let them handle it themselves.
Two days later, under the leadership of Li Ke, Chen An went to the depths of the Dark Soul Realm to find the largest stream of consciousness space.
"Sheila should have told you a lot. When the level of the Sea of Consciousness exceeds 100, it becomes the Consciousness Universe. This transformation is equivalent to Galactus breaking through to the Great Emperor. From then on, you only need to strengthen it synchronously to make your body and consciousness fit together perfectly."
When talking about the consciousness-enhancing equipment, Li Ke smiled and said, "That was invented by our Li family. The Shenpo Clan stole some of it during a war. Over the years, we have optimized the equipment many times. If you need it, I can give it to you. But be careful not to let your consciousness strength exceed your body too much, otherwise you may become a Shenpo Clan member, and it will be too late to regret it then."
Through communication with Li Ke, Chen An has a deeper understanding of consciousness.
The Shenpo clan is more like a helpless choice after the death of the original body. If there is a chance, they must not become a pure consciousness.
"That's the zero stream of consciousness space. Go in, it should be easy to break through."
There was nothing in the starry sky ahead, but Chen An could see that there was a powerful consciousness barrier there.
He dove in headfirst, a little startled.
"Isn't this the forbidden land of the spirit?"
[It is indeed a similar starry sky, but the two are not the same]
To be honest, Chen An was very disappointed. If this was the case, he might as well go directly to the Shenpo Forbidden Land.
After strolling around and making sure there was nothing unusual, Chen An entered the largest cloud of consciousness and madly absorbed the stream of consciousness.
His spiritual world is the sea of consciousness, which expands as the flow of consciousness increases, but is restricted by some force and can never break through the limit.
“I didn’t expect it to be so difficult.”
After that, the consciousness cloud kept changing, and Chen An absorbed it mindlessly.
At some point, he suddenly discovered a problem.
From the depths of his sea of consciousness, a number of tentacles vaguely stretched out, sucking away the stream of consciousness.
Chen An was at a loss for words: "I was wondering why I couldn't break through. Turns out I have a parasite."
[Those bugs feed on streams of consciousness and appear harmless to you at this point.]
"They're really harmless to me, but I can't afford to feed them. They eat them all. Hey, can you guys come out and be self-reliant?"
The insects did not come out from the depths of the fog, a fog that even Chen An could not see through.
After trying to induce him for a while, there was no other way, so Chen An had to continue.
"Just feed them and they'll be fine!"
After an unknown amount of time, Fuyao gave a reminder.
【Discovering an unknown vortex】
Chen An didn't want to go in, but the vortex kept spewing out streams of consciousness, which were more concentrated than the consciousness clouds outside.
"Let's go in and take a look. Anyway, the whirlpool is not that stressful for me right now."
He went straight in, thinking that like last time, he would encounter the Star Road and then endure the suppression from the planetary consciousness.
However, this time it was different. After passing through a strange obstacle, Chen An found that his body was left far behind, with only his consciousness moving forward.
"No, just like the last time I went to the Divine Soul Forbidden Land, my body can't enter."
【Do you want to return?】
Chen An did not answer. He expanded his mental strings in all directions, trying to obtain as much information as possible.
At some point, he felt a chill down his spine and subconsciously stepped back, determined to leave as soon as possible.
"There are extremely powerful beings here, and I can't deal with them."
Soon he saw a whirlpool and Chen An went in.
When passing the obstacle, he carefully sensed it and finally understood what it was.
"Dimensional membrane, we just went to a new world. Fuyao, do you know where it is?"
[There is no relevant information in my database, but it is reasonable to speculate whether there is a universe dedicated to consciousness?]
"Maybe, but it has nothing to do with me. Going deeper will kill you."
A few minutes later, Chen An left the whirlpool, but found that his body was gone.
[Master, you seem to have taken the wrong whirlpool]
Chen Anren was numb.
What made him even more speechless was that there were many eyes staring at him all around, with expressions ranging from astonishment to surprise, and then a riot.
Those eyes came from countless bugs.
[This is the forbidden land of the spirit]
It turns out that the two places are connected and extend together into the unknown universe.
But there was no time to study these things now, Chen An turned around and tried to escape.
Just as he was about to enter the whirlpool, Chen An stopped with a strange look on his face.
【Master, what's wrong? 】
Chen An said: "The bugs in the sea of consciousness sent me a signal to stop. This is the first time they actively communicated with me."
He turned to face the countless insects, and his mental strings automatically unfolded.
The insects pounced on it excitedly, not to devour it, but to attach themselves to it and gradually disappear.
Only Chen An knew that they had entered his sea of consciousness and were heading towards the fog.
However, when they reached the fog, they could not get through and could only watch the tentacles waving.
Chen An seemed to understand.
"So they are of the same species. It's reasonable to guess that the worm in my consciousness sea might be a queen."
Just as he thought of this, Chen An saw the insects scattering around, frantically devouring the matter at the edge of the sea of consciousness.
"Are they helping me break through?"
The insects were very powerful. They bit away the unknown force that restricted Chen An, causing his sea of consciousness to expand on a large scale.
Occasionally, the mental string would be damaged, and the bug would immediately repair it with great efficiency.
"It helps me break through and repairs my spiritual strings. It turns out to be a treasure."
Chen An looked up and saw many insects watching. They seemed to be more rational.
"Come on, uncle has a treasure here."
He simply opened up his spiritual world completely, stretched out countless spiritual strings to capture the insects, and used them as a springboard.
"Fuyao, should we give them names?"
They must have names, we just don’t know them.
"I don't know, but I don't have any. From now on, call them phantom insects."
Originally wanted to call it Consciousness Bug, but felt it didn't sound good, so Chen An changed it temporarily.
[The data on the phantom insects has been stored. We can capture some and send them to the Consciousness Research Center. Perhaps there will be more development.]
"Don't overthink it for now. The phantom bugs may seem gentle and can repair mental chords, but they are actually extremely destructive. According to the information I have now, it only takes ten phantom bugs to devour the consciousness of an ordinary person, causing brain death."
After that, they stopped communicating and Chen An fully enjoyed the pleasure and satisfaction brought by the sea of consciousness.
At some point, a huge explosion occurred in the sea of consciousness, and Chen An felt that he suddenly became taller, and his spiritual strings expanded several times.
"Breakthrough?"
The sea of consciousness expanded a hundredfold and became the universe of consciousness, which meant that he entered a new stage.
But Chen An discovered that even at this point, his mental strength was still far inferior to Fuyao's.
"What level are you?"
I don't know either.
Fuyao felt very aggrieved.
Chen An had nothing to say and absorbed the remaining phantom insects.
