MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 144 【Catch insects】
It is not entirely correct to say that it is brought out from the end of the foresight corridor.
Because when Xu Tuoran took away the cluster of stars, the real "corridor of prediction" had not yet taken shape.
"In the same plane, there must be a way to unify similar powers. The apex of the unification is the authority of the corresponding power. In different planes, the way to unify power will have different expressions."
"And here—or, in this box, it is reflected as an upgrade space." The system said lightly.
"This world was in a state of disintegration when it was encapsulated, and the original order of power also collapsed. In addition to the parts that escaped from you, the ancient will, and other existences, the disordered and mysterious power was scattered everywhere. It is very chaotic. And with the operation of the box and the time loop, the mysterious power accumulated in this box will only increase.
"In order not to let them have too much influence on this small world, before you fell into a deep sleep, you used order to set rules so that all scattered powers would automatically condense into light and be divided into different spaces. And Hide all the inclined spaces in the depths of the dream."
In other words, Xu Tuoran used the rules to bring all the disordered forces in the box back together. And the so-called upgrade space itself is just a place to store the corresponding mysterious power.
However, not all powers will be collected in time, some powers that are not automatically collected give birth to abominations, and abominations give birth to capable users. Human beings have the opportunity to touch the hidden, and through the medium of this power, the hidden paths are thus connected to the dreams of all beings.
Monsters or humans who have obtained enlightenment have the qualifications to enter the upgrade space and gain power from it.
Because of the different specific strengths contained, the upgrade space is also affected by Xu Tuoran and other existences, each possessing different characteristics, and even breeds a little activity and weak will.
Among them, the natural disasters, beasts, predictions, and long nights mostly come from Xu Tuoran, so they are friendly to her; while chaos, omniscience, and war are mainly from Jianglin's four-in-one, but they are naturally malicious to her.
Of course, they didn't care about their repulsion, Xu Tuoran still shone in.
Of all tendencies, order and foreknowledge are the most special. These two powers support the operation of the box from different levels, and their positioning is naturally higher than other abilities. Abominations with unsound minds cannot possess it. Only humans can obtain it.
Firefly, Lantern, Ju/爟, Hui, Chen, these are the five levels that human beings have summed up so far. In fact, above the Chen level, there are even higher levels.
"Star." The system said indifferently, "If humans understand it, then the next level should be called a star."
Like other levels, in the area called "star", there is a ball of light. Only touch is considered a real upgrade. The premise is that you can touch it.
"The ball of light can also be called 'Starlight', which is the incarnation of authority that is inclined to ability. Only one person can hold it in the same plane. But it is not an easy task to obtain and digest authority. "
Among them, natural disaster wars, omniscience and foresight, chaotic beasts, and the later eternal night and eternal day all come from the same source in essence, and they are all branches of the same power. Therefore, these four tendencies, facing each other in pairs, share one authority.
—And under normal circumstances, the stars cannot gain authority.
When the educators give birth to the stars, they will consciously control their growth. He will give some power to the stars, but at the same time, he will also impose corresponding constraints. Under the influence of this bondage, the stars can get infinitely close to authority, and even gain power from it, but they cannot truly possess it.
It takes a lot of energy and time just to break through the constraints imposed by the breeder. Not to mention most of the stars, out of stupid loyalty and fear of the educators, would never think of doing this at all. And even if they are willing to spend energy to break through the blockade, it is basically difficult to obtain the capital to fight against the Educator before the Educator comes again.
The most typical one is Xu Tuoran, who has been feeding himself for tens of thousands of years, and is still slapped to death when he probes.
However, she did not gain nothing in this long process of self-feeding—first of all, her own long night ability, because it was an unexpected product, although it did not receive the initial gift from the breeder, it was also not subject to any constraints. Therefore, the progress is relatively faster, and it has already reached the level of being close to God.
Secondly, among the three inclinations of foresight, natural disasters and beasts, she has successfully broken through the shackles of the inclination for foresight, and successfully controlled the corresponding authority.
And this Xinghui became the only capital for her to come back.
"Remember what I said? The belief box is the extension ability of the propensity to predict. In the box, the influence of the educator on you is weakened to the weakest, and the shackles no longer exist. In other words, this is to continue to upgrade and compete for the remaining A good time for Xinghui." The system's tone became serious, "Although with your original strength, it is not difficult to maintain the operation of this world. But I still suggest that you take the rest of Xinghui, after all..."
"After all, the Educator won't let me go so easily." Xu Tuoran said leisurely, "Sooner or later, it will come to the door again."
If you can beat her, you are the most beautiful cub, if you can't beat her, you are a dead cub. In short, if we meet again, there may not be a chance to escape.
The system paused and gave a soft "hmm". Just as he was about to say something more, Xu Tuoran spoke again: "Then what about crafting them? Why are they in this box?"
"I really don't know." The system sighed, "My last impression of them is that you are about to be blown up by the educator, and you have to rush out and say something to them—"
It is said that it only took a bite, but the actual strength is still very fierce. The craftsmen turned off the fire on the spot, and scattered in an instant, like lifeless rags, falling down one after another.
Afterwards, Xu Turan survived the danger, and under the premise of being hammered by the educated, he used his second hand, used the power of foresight to encapsulate the ten years of the whole world into a box, and invested the remaining self-awareness. As a supporter, the system followed in, and didn't have time to pay attention to the fate of the other Broken Star.
Thinking about it now, they might have also fallen into the box at that time. It's just that it has been lurking and hiding, and it hasn't even been discovered.
"Hidden..." Xu Tuoran murmured, frowning, "How can I hide like this?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's probably because I used the upgrade space." The system sighed again, "The upgrade space will automatically recover the lost power, but it's giving them a chance."
Since these "Jianglin" did fall into the box, their power will naturally be absorbed into the corresponding upgrade space. It would be fine if they died completely, but if they didn't die completely, it would be like giving them a chance to recuperate.
Not only that, but with the power that fills the upgrade space as a link, they may also be able to gain control of a part of the upgrade space. At the beginning, Jiang Lin tried to control the path of chaos and hinder Xu Turan's upgrade, and most of them relied on this connection.
"Jiang Lin seems to know about my arrival." Xu Tuoran pursed his lips, recalling the conversation with Jiang Lin in Dahuaihua Middle School, "He knew the time when I should have appeared."
"That should be because they have been observing in secret for a long time, and they have determined where your parasitism is." The system thought thoughtfully, "The situation when they fell into the box was not much better than yours. But they cannot use the ritual To return, we can only find another way.”
For example, separate all the fragments, forcibly seize each other, and use the identity of human beings to gain strength.
When two stars exist in the same world, one of them must go out. Playing dead won't solve the problem. Get the only star before Xu Tuoran; or kill her when she wakes up but has not yet grown up, they only have two options.
"As for the Jianglin you mentioned, there is no doubt that he chose the second option." The system simply flipped through Xu Tuoran's memory and made a conclusion.
Xu Tuoran nodded cooperatively, and said from the bottom of his heart, "Thank you, Jianglin."
system:…
Thank you hell. You are now running a thousand miles away, and that Harper named Jianglin is at least half responsible.
"It's not that bad." Xu Tuoran put down the milk tea in his hand, picked up a pen instead, and started to draw in his notebook, "Didn't it mean that the chaotic tendency and the beast tendency lead to the same goal? They share the same authority."
In this case, there is not much difference between going from the direction of chaos and going from the side of the beast.
system:"…"
"No." It was silent for a moment, then said with difficulty, "Didn't you realize that the upgrade space is actually very unwelcoming for you?"
They have all been promoted to the Chen level, and they are not even given a new skill.
"I know." Xu Tuoran took it for granted, "But what does that matter to me?"
Feel bad for throwing me out.
system:"…"
It was silent for a while, and was a little entangled in whether to tell Xu Tuoran that her house was actually on the opposite side, and it would be faster to walk from there - but in this way, all her escalation in the chaotic tendency would have to be cancelled.
At the same time, I saw Xu Tuoran draw a few random strokes in the notebook, and spoke again:
"Okay, I probably figured out this part of the upgrade. So the next question—"
She lowered her eyes and tapped her fingers on the table a few times.
"Can you tell me now? Why did you leave when I first woke up?"
Judging from what the system said just now, she didn't think the other party deliberately left her alone.
The system also said before, "not the original intention".
Xu Tuoran originally speculated whether this was another trick played by Jiang Linmen, but after sorting it out just now, she had a new idea.
Sure enough, the next moment, the system took a deep breath.
"Let's say it first, this is my personal guess. I'm not 100% sure..." It said softly, and its tone suddenly became serious.
"At that time, I was called away."
Xu Tuoran: "..."
"Call?" she repeated in a low voice, and her movements stopped for a moment.
"Well. Call, call." The system said, "And it is a call that is difficult to defy. What I can do is to arrange everything as much as possible before I leave."
Although the layout is useless.
—and after being dragged away, its consciousness fell into a long darkness.
It's like a forced sleep, without even the freedom to wake up. Not long ago, it sensed another similar force, and under the pull of the other party, Fang woke up from his sleep and escaped along the way.
After coming out, it discovered that the similar power it felt came from a counterfeit cultivator made of umbilical cord.
"Think about it carefully, as an umbilical cord, I have only been connected to you, and the real educator." The system whispered, "The only ones who can influence me are the two of you. At that time, you still have nothing to do." I don't understand, naturally it is impossible to try to control me, so the only person who forcibly drags me away is another person..."
"Educator." Xu Tuoran raised his eyelids suddenly, "It's also in this box?"
"It can't be the real body. If it were, the world would have collapsed a long time ago." The system said, "I suspect that it should have put a projection. It is used to observe the situation inside."
That's why it specifically told Xu Tuoran not to tell others about its existence—the projection of the educator is better at using other people's eyes than the omniscient insect. He is everywhere, and maybe he is secretly observing everything somewhere. And once he realizes that he has returned, he might drag himself away forcibly again.
"If that's the case, then it's interesting..." Xu Tuoran murmured, lowering his eyes, and gently sliding the tip of the pen on the notebook.
From this point of view, besides himself and Yang Buqi, there are four forces in the current world in the box.
First of all, the iron nematodes headed by Jianglin, that is, the star fragments. There are four of them in total, two of them have been trapped in the camphor forest, one is competing with Pu Han and other capable people, and the other has not been found yet.
Secondly, it is what the system calls the Educator Projection. It can only be inferred that its possible existence is also unknown.
The third is the wooden man guarding the camphor forest.
Finally, there are ordinary ability users.
Ordinary ability users, although they can get in touch with the truth of the world through some means, their knowledge is limited, and they don't know their own identities. Some of them already know about the existence of wireworms and are determined to fight them. is a reliable ally.
The wooden man knows the existence of the ritual, knows that he will come, and knows the threat of the wireworm. He knew that if he walked according to the normal time, his awakening time would be much later than the time when the wireworms invaded reality, so he has been trying to narrow the time difference. And at the altar in the camphor forest, he reserved the power needed for upgrading for himself. is a more reliable ally.
However, considering the risk of his operation, Xu Tuoran suspected that he didn't know the specific content of the ceremony. He only knew that if the original "Xu Tuoran" died, he could wake up in advance and replace the original owner, and continue to complete the ceremony until he found the "Xu Tuoran" back to self.
Iron nematodes, that is, all kinds of craftsmen. The purpose is to kill himself and fight for power. Knowing the existence of the ritual, knowing his own existence, but before officially handing over, he didn't know that he had woken up early. You can't kill it directly, and you can't kill it. If you want to deal with it, you can only rely on the seal.
In the end, it was the projection of the so-called Educator—it knew the ritual and knew that it had awakened in advance. Judging from the fact that it tried to summon the system immediately after waking up, that guy definitely didn't treat him well.
No trace, no ability, no ability to kill... As for the opponent's purpose, Xu Tuoran can guess eighty-nine points. Wanting to kill himself is definitely the same thing, but I don't know what it has to do with Jianglin and the others. Is it going to help them up? Or just simply waiting for a pot?
Xu Tuoran's pen tip jumped back and forth twice on the last two objects, and finally locked on the "iron nematode" column.
Considering that they are now threatening Pu Han and the Jiang family. Xu Tuoran decided to list them as the primary targets first.
"The first blow?" Sensing her thoughts, the system spoke softly, with a subtle tone.
"Yes, what's the problem?" Xu Tuoran was puzzled.
System: ...Nothing, I just thought we were on the defensive side.
"If what you're worried about is the fragments of omniscient tendencies, then I don't think you need to worry too much." After a pause, the system spoke again, "Although it is wandering around now, its own power has been greatly divided. Fundamentally speaking , is already in a weakened state."
Xu Furan knew about the division of power. A bunch of avatars were circled in Jiang Siyu's domain, and he was not allowed to go out, and a split body was trapped in Pu Han's place. Not to mention that when he was in the domain before, his split body had eaten a lot.
But she was still not at ease.
"After all, it is omniscience. It is better to be cautious." Xu Tuoran said, nodding with self-confidence, "Besides, even if it is weakened...um."
The tip of her pen paused, and she was not sure: "I don't think it should be weak at all?"
at the same time.
In a small rental house.
Jiang Lin was staring awkwardly at a yellow eye that suddenly appeared on the back of his hand.
Eyeballs are small. It was several laps smaller than Jiang Lin and Jiang Lin, and looked worse than a fingernail.
Jiang Lin stared at those eyes for a long time, and finally said uncertainly: "...Boss?"
The little yellow eyes rolled for a while, and he hummed angrily.
Advent:...
She looked at the omniscient boss who had shrunk to the point where he didn't even have a bottle cap, and she looked away calmly. Just as he was thinking about how to ask, the miniature yellow eyes opened his mouth first.
"Sorry, I wanted to ask you something."
Admiral: "...?"
"It's like this. I was forced to change my body just now and went to the Path of Chaos." The omniscient mini-big brother said slowly, "Although there are many things to discuss now, before that, I must clear-
"Do you know where that idiot Jiang Lin is now?"
Advent:...
