Volume 8: Future · Gap 4 · Competitive Games Chapter 1: Worldview and Path
"I'm not a trial-taker?" Lu Bai asked.
"Of course not. I am just using the trial-taker's test to test the vision of the chosen one." Duoyan's words at this time were no longer as vague and intermittent as in the previous dream, but conveyed the meaning very clearly into Lu Bai's mind.
"So what is the difference between the chosen one, the trial-taker, and the Netherworld Messenger after passing the trial?" Lu Bai continued to ask.
He obtained the status of the chosen one because he obtained the Ring of Life and Death, while the other trial-takers became trial-takens because they had the qualifications to become messengers of the underworld.
"They are examinees and officials, and you are the crown prince." This time, Duoyan did not act mysteriously as a riddle teller, but told Lu Bai the answer directly.
"The ring of life and death in your hand is the crown for becoming the Lord of the Underworld!"
"You have the hope of becoming the true master of the Netherworld and the Impure Land!"
"Dirty earth?" Lu Bai raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, the dirty land!" Duoyan said, "You should have understood that the dirty land was originally part of the Netherworld Dead Sea."
"It's just that because the foul air is gathering more and more, we have to split up the Dead Sea."
"The two are originally one, but the conflict between the Netherworld and the Impure Land is becoming more and more acute."
"The Ring of Life and Death also began to lose its way at that time. Over the years, it has been choosing different hosts, but the previous hosts did not go far."
"You are the new one."
“I hope you can go further and be truly successful.”
"Before this, the Netherworld will define your identity as 'The Netherworld Messenger', and use this as a disguise."
"Since I have passed the initial test, is there any magical weapon, supreme treasure or something like that that I can use?" Lu Bai immediately thought of how to get some benefits. After all, as the crown prince, even if he couldn't reveal his identity right away for the sake of face, he wouldn't be too shabby inside.
"I have some personal collections to give you, but forget about the rest."
"And you must be careful when using the Ring of Life and Death. Two of the chosen ones had their identities guessed because of this, so not even a trace of them was left."
"Besides, just from this dimensional death, you have already gotten a lot of good things. Being greedy is not a good thing." Duoyan knew Lu Bai's thoughts very well.
"Right now, your focus should still be on the God of Thousand Dimensions. When you can become an exception, I will recognize your identity as the crown prince." Duoyan is obviously the kind of minister who is entrusted with the care of the young prince.
This guy regards a dimensional core as an eye. Those densely packed and innumerable eyes represent countless dimensions that have been destroyed throughout the ages.
This guy's strength is probably comparable to that of the God of Thousand Dimensions.
"I can't compare!" Duoyan said honestly.
"Fuck!" I forgot that these big guys basically have the ability to read minds.
"But can you tell me about the God of Thousand Dimensions?" Lu Bai asked. Lu Bai was still very interested in his immediate superior on the other side.
"He is a strong man who walks the path of 'refining the truth'."
"In terms of combat power alone, it can fight against most real dimensions."
"Lianzhen?"
“This is a road issue that needs to be considered once you reach the surface.”
"Before coming to the surface, I only had a tendency at most. The purpose of my practice was to improve my understanding of the dimension and my means of interfering with the power of the dimension."
"When you break the rules, you need to consider one question: should you go the Refining True Way or the Transformation Star Way?"
Then Duoyan roughly explained to Lu Bai the meaning of some of these nouns.
The so-called breaking the rules is actually the top of the power system constructed by the God of Thousand Dimensions.
All of the Thousand Dimensions God's subordinates mainly build skills based on skill bars and modules.
They absorb various modules and then build skills, constantly improving the resonance rate of skills.
When the resonance rate reaches a certain level, you can prepare to break the rules, that is, break the skill bar.
Break the "black box" of the module, thoroughly absorb the factors and dimensional power within it, and complete your own transformation.
"With your current life form, it is estimated that you will be able to complete the resonance with your own module very quickly."
" How fast is fast?" Lu Bai asked
"About ten years or so." Duoyan also stated his definition of fast and slow.
Afterwards, Lu Bai stopped talking and thought carefully about the information given by Duoyan.
After breaking the exception, life will be sublimated and thus qualified to operate in the dimensional membrane.
The so-called dimensional membrane is the main environment of the entire multiverse.
In the multi-eye view of the universe, the world is roughly an endless plane, which is called a dimensional membrane.
Space and time are the main components of the dimensional membrane.
The mass of matter will bend space-time on the dimensional membrane, which causes gravity to appear and causes space-time to become the form we perceive.
Cognition will absorb the dimensional force flowing on the dimensional membrane, gather it together, generate mass, and form a new dimension.
If ordinary dimensions are small balls on the dimensional membrane, some of them are big and some are small, and they may even collide with each other.
However, there will never be a situation where one dimension covers another.
Once it appears, this dimension will be officially sublimated into a real dimension.
The largest real dimension at present is the Xingxiu Sea.
That is the real dimension where the earth is located.
The Dead Sea was originally similar to the Earth, but because it separated from the Impure Land, it is slightly different.
Other real dimensions are big and small, but none of them are simple. They break through the external influence of the dimension itself, making the influence of the dimension become wide and far-reaching.
According to Duoyan, in the very beginning of this multiverse, there was no concept of "death". It was the continuous expansion of the influence of the Netherworld Dead Sea at that time that spread the concept of death to the entire multiverse.
Of course, there are still many secrets in it, and Duoyan believes that Lu Bai should not know them now.
The reason for saying this is just to make Lu Bai better understand the difference between the two paths of Refining the Truth and Transforming the Stars.
The true dimension combines these two paths.
To refine the truth is to condense the truth.
There was no "death" in the multiverse in the past. It was only after the promotion of the Dead Sea that death came into being.
Death becomes the truth.
To gradually transform a factor into an element and finally spread it out to form the truth is to refine the truth.
The pursuit of quality and continuous improvement of one's own size will increase one's influence on the dimensional membrane, and eventually form a "world" similar to a dimension or even a real dimension. This is the star transformation.
When both are combined, it becomes a real dimension.
"So the God of Thousand Dimensions is not as good as the real dimension?" Lu Bai raised his question.
"Your way of comparing is like comparing a person to a house."
"In terms of space and volume, the God of Thousand Dimensions is definitely not as good as a real dimension."
"But in terms of influence, creativity, and various means, He may even exceed the ordinary dimension of reality."
"Moreover, to a certain extent, reaching the level of the God of Thousand Dimensions is not far from the general real dimension. Its size is still much larger than that of the general dimension."
"It's just that He has not completely released His influence on the dimensional membrane and transformed Himself into a dimensional form."
"And the corresponding one is Xingxiu Sea."
"Xingxiu Hai has not improved his refining skills much. In fact, he is probably not as good as the Thousand Dimension God in this aspect."
"However, on the path of star transformation, it has walked ahead of all other dimensions. The dimensional power it expands and absorbs every day is countless times the size of ordinary dimensions."
"The failure of the Refining Path does not prevent the Xingxiu Sea from becoming the largest and most powerful real dimension."
"Both paths lead to becoming the most influential beings in the multiverse."
"It's just that the path of transformation will stay in place most of the time, leaning towards the dimension."
With the explanation of many eyes, Lu Bai suddenly had a superficial understanding of the entire multiverse.
Duoyan said that he was not as good as the God of Thousand Dimensions. I don’t know if he was being modest, but he really was not as good as him. Anyway, according to Duoyan’s expression, the two were roughly on the same level.
The God of Thousand Dimensions is a self-employed CEO, while Duoyan is the general manager of another large company. If you really compare them, it is hard to tell who is better.
"So does the God of Thousand Dimensions know me?" Lu Bai asked again.
Duoyan currently wants to hide Lu Bai's identity, but this inevitably involves the existence of the God of Thousand Dimensions.
After all, Lu Bai is still working for the other party, and he is using the module system built by the other party.
"I know roughly, but He can be trusted."
That’s right, the God of Thousand Dimensions is a particular person.
The more you come into contact with it, the more you will discover this.
When the Earth was collected as a collection, the dimensional fluctuations caused killed Lu Bai, and as many people died as are alive now.
After they survived, each of them was given compensation.
This compensation, in terms of money alone, can only be considered relatively generous in terms of the earth's environment.
However, when actually used in the module system and converted into special extraction points, the richness of this thing would make any traveler jealous.
If it weren't for the fact that only the Awakened could use the special extraction points converted from the compensation, Lu Bai estimated that no Awakened would be able to survive the second night after awakening.
So we have to say that the God of Thousand Dimensions is quite particular.
"But He only knows some things, not the rest. Don't even think about using your identity as the Crown Prince of the Netherworld to get a loan from the Thousand Dimensions God to defraud investment."
"That will only make you die faster." Duoyan interrupted Lu Bai's fantasy, and then said: "In addition, according to the way you can understand, you can call me: The Eye of Ten Thousand Sleeps: Elodos!"
The last word "Erodos" was composed of syllables that Lu Bo found difficult to understand. It was obviously the name that Duoyan had simplified its true meaning.
"Now that you know everything, grow up quickly. Once you choose your path, I will announce your existence. At that time, you will face many tests until you are crowned king! "
