Volume 9: Star Cave Chapter 105: The Operation Principle of the Star Cave
Time passes day by day.
Lu Bai took the time to forge some weapons for the four horses and the scaly people, and at the same time symbolically asked a few people to assist him in forging weapons.
As for these assistants, whether they can learn how to forge weapons depends on their own luck.
However, most of the time, Lu Bai was actually thinking about ideas.
This special product of the zero level of the star cave.
Inspiration is the original form of various abilities and substances in the Star Cave.
This means that most of the things in the Star Cave are actually created by adding elements to the spiritual inspiration.
“At this point, the inspiration is more like a ‘primitive being’.”
The first mover pushed the original existence and thus formed the soul.
A little element is added to the inspiration, thus forming various abilities.
The underworld is the maker of the rules of death and the destination of all souls.
"And in this case, it seems that inspiration may be the 'soul' of another thing." Lu Bai absorbed this ray of inspiration and could feel this power being incorporated into his own strength.
Then this ray of inspiration was quickly assimilated and became part of the power, and then it was almost imperceptible that Lu Bai's part of the power gained a bit of "soul".
As a result, the disharmony between various forces was slightly reduced.
"I see. If I use my spiritual power extensively, I might be able to clear the Star Cave."
"The prerequisite is that you have an instinctive understanding of how to pass through the Star Cave. Otherwise, the more you use your spiritual power, the more you will run on the wrong path."
"Then it can be basically confirmed that inspiration is the product of the underworld." Lu Bai carefully felt the changes in his heart, and then understood the problem.
In the star cave, at every moment, there are individuals who have died but not completely dead, and they disappear in the repeated reset cycles of reincarnation.
After their disappearance, their immortal souls will be destroyed in the process, but their original existence will not disappear.
Those things will return to the underworld in a different form.
Judging from the results, even if the various real dimensions use every possible means to intercept the soul, the final destination of the soul will be in the underworld.
Even in the dirty world, no matter how unwilling the death is, it will eventually return to peace.
Inspiration is the product of this process, which symbolizes the basic power of the Star Cave, that is, the power of returning to death.
From this point, it can be seen that the connection between the Star Cave and the Netherworld is probably much closer than imagined.
Among the five major forces in the Star Cave's affiliated dimensions, the Traveler actually symbolizes the zero level of the Star Cave.
This kind of inspiration, if slightly transformed, can become the basis of a module.
It is also the foundation of death and the underworld.
It’s a pity that this basic conversion was disrupted by the “origin”, or various real dimensions, at the first level of the Star Cave. Otherwise, the entire Star Cave would probably be under the influence of the power of the Netherworld.
This is also the way that each major real dimension intervenes in the Star Cave.
"It seems that before the Star Cave became a mass grave for burying challengers in many real dimensions, it had already assumed some kind of responsibility inherited from the Netherworld."
"The Star Cave is probably also a stagnant object, right?"
Lu Bai gradually confirmed this.
The previous depressed thing seized the opportunity and became the real dimensional filth land classified as the underworld.
The remaining depressed things were all subject to various constraints, such as the dark eyes in Lu Bai's eyes.
The Star Cave is another.
"If I'm not mistaken, the element of the Star Cave is - the past."
After the soul sinks into the underworld, the memories, emotions and even past things in the soul will gradually dissipate under the water of the underworld.
Star caves are the result of the accumulation of some of the past.
"After the Impure Land Incident, the various real dimensions seized the opportunity and wanted to intercept their souls from the netherworld."
"The Netherworld then changed its method, separating the Star Cave, a stagnation formed by the accumulation of past elements, into a special cosmic phenomenon to deal with those souls and things that contain powerful origins from other real dimensions."
"The various dimensions of reality constrain each other here."
"As for the guardians of the second to fifth floors of the Star Cave, and the four major forces in the Star Cave's affiliated dimensions other than the travelers, they are probably just as I guessed."
Lu Bai had observed the souls in the underworld before. Those souls radiated light, and their past existence was not just in the underworld.
In this world, the causes and effects brought about by interpersonal relationships will affect the speed at which the soul dissipates.
Various relationships make the past not pass away so quickly and completely.
Everyone who remembers you is an anchor that maintains your past existence, so these four relationships form guardians.
"The four guardians and the four major forces symbolize the four major types of interpersonal relationships in the past."
"Alliance, Empire, Lone Star, Commerce."
“Equal individuals, class affiliation, solitary self, exchange and trade.”
“It is also because of this external connection, the external subsidiary dimension, that is affected .”
"Star Cave Adventurers, carrying various "abilities", defeat the guardians over and over again, and then pass through the innate and acquired influences, erasing their past over and over again."
"Use the flow of adventurers to constantly change the only remaining relationship points."
"This is the process by which Xingku deals with the past that is difficult to destroy."
" But there are still many questions?"
"First of all, the lone star symbolizes the lonely self in past interpersonal relationships. Why is this relationship related to humans? Humans are social creatures, so why are they so deeply connected with "loneliness"?"
"Secondly, Criticality is eroding the Star Cave from an equal individual. What exactly does "He" want to do?"
"Then, the Star Cave from level 0 to level 9 are already sufficient, so why do the tenth level and beyond exist?"
After Lu Bai sorted out these speculations and questions, he gradually cleared his mind.
Then stop thinking about those things.
It has to be said that Dongshan Shi's [heart] is very strong. He can easily see through the external appearance of things and recognize their inner essence.
With the help of Lingji, the foundation of the Star Cave, Lu Bai saw through its relationship with the Netherworld, saw through the interference of the real dimensions, and saw the operating principles of the Star Cave foundation.
Of course, if we want to go a step further, we need to explore the meaning of the tenth level of the Star Cave and even deeper.
However, if we continue to explore in this way, we will fall into a state of overactive thinking.
It is not of much benefit to either the critical situation that may be faced next or the original sanctuary that needs to be observed in the next adventure.
Yun He has left again. When she is free from tasks, it is enough for her to get together with Lu Bai and relax. She still has her own things to do.
At the same time, Lu Bai was also waiting for his guest, Bjorn, the human traveler he met in the previous adventure.
After completing Lu Bai's request, he passed through the return gate and returned to the zero floor of the Star Cave.
Then he began to look for the location of the "Immortal Knight" camp.
Fortunately, it was not too far away, and through certain positioning methods, he finally found this place.
He once again dressed in a suit and tie, and expressed his respect to Lu Bai in a very gentlemanly manner.
Although they are still in another dimension, Lu Bo is the master of the Earth after all, and Bjorn has no intention of giving up his identity as an Earthling.
"Lord Lu Bai, I have completed the task you gave me." Bjorn respected Lu Bai very much.
But when talking about the mission, Bjorn looked a little strange.
Lu Bai nodded and said thank you for your hard work.
Then ask him about some of the situations he encountered when completing the task.
"After parting with you, I followed your instructions in other matters on the fourth floor of the Star Cave and began to... spread human genes."
The so-called spread of human genes is just a relatively nice way of saying it, and in essence it is just sowing.
However, due to time constraints, this act of sowing utilized extraordinary means in order to allow more people to be born in most events.
The fourth layer corresponds to the Lone Star. Since the guardian of the fourth layer has a relationship with humans, the infiltration of the Lone Star larvae and its targeting of Yuhui is also related to this.
Then perhaps if more humans were to be added to the fourth level of the Star Cave, then perhaps it would be able to solve some of the problems with its operation to a certain extent.
"In a technological event, I created some human embryos using my own genes and selected a mother to carry them."
“And then they all failed.”
"Their embryos are still in a normal state, but once they are born, they quickly become alienated and turn into monsters."
"It does look a lot like the fourth-tier guardian."
"Is that so?" Lu Bai frowned.
The problem is very serious.
The earth itself is not special. The God of Thousand Dimensions collects the earth for the possibility of the original existence of his own soul.
Human beings are not special; they are just ordinary intelligent life forms.
So why, in the Star Cave, a guardian who symbolizes the lonely self in past connections would have a relationship with humans?
To the extent that the Lone Star larva had to target a human and then enter the Star Cave.
It even affected the Guardian, causing its strength to surge and affecting Lu Bai.
“I’m afraid we can only know this after we find Yuhui and capture the young Lone Star.”
"Lord Lu Bai, what's going on here? Will it affect humans?" Bjorn asked from the side.
"Do you think that humans could be born anywhere else besides Earth?" Lu Bai did not answer Bjorn's question, but suddenly asked.
"This... shouldn't be possible. The environment is different, and the experiences are different. Even if life with similar appearances is born, the existence inside will not be similar."
"Lonely self..." Lu Bai thought of the interpersonal relationships symbolized by the Lone Star Guardian.
"Maybe things are not as complicated as I thought."
