Volume 9: Star Cave Chapter 164: Real War Zone
Perhaps it was because Haijiao and Tianya were in opposition, and when there was a conflict between Tianya and Haijiao, Haijiao suffered losses most of the time. So even though the people on Tianya's side knew Haijiao very well, they often looked down on Haijiao.
But no matter how weak Haijiao is, this is also a real dimension.
And in fact, the win-loss ratio between Haijiao and Tianya is not as exaggerated as imagined.
Because if Haijiao wins, most of the people on Tianya side will be killed, and because of the solidification of Haijiao's power, even the news cannot be passed on.
Just like here now.
All changes have stopped. No matter how ruthless time is, it is ruthlessly stopped at this moment.
The only ones who could move were Lu Bai and A Shi. Even Xiao Ci, a natural immortal, had everything frozen at this time and could not sense the outside world.
Not to mention Lin Xi and Yu Hui, who had just been rescued and was still seriously injured.
"It seems that you didn't really lose miserably." Seeing that Ah Shi could move in this place where time and everything were stagnant, Lu Bai knew that although Ah Shi looked like a mortal, he was still extraordinary.
"After all, I have persisted for so many years." A Shi said with a smile, and persistence is the true meaning of Haijiao.
Even if this persistence may seem stubborn, inflexible, or weird to outsiders.
But in the eyes of the parties involved, it is enough that this persistence has meaning.
"It seems that His Excellency the Immortal King has no intention of killing us all." Lu Bai shook his head. Although he knew it in his heart, he still couldn't help but feel unhappy: "You are the winner after all."
Because everything he is fighting for now is actually just a piece of rotten meat left behind by the other party.
The immortals were like maggots on rotten meat, the lone star was a fly attracted by the smell, and Lu Bai was not much better, at most he was just a small animal that had strayed in.
What no one expected was that there was medicine put on the rotten meat by the previous owner. Everything from beginning to end was under the control of the previous owner.
There will be no other winners. The real winner is only the Immortal King who sets the tone from the very beginning.
The other party did not guess the appearance of Lu Bai and what Lu Bai represented, but even without Lu Bai, Lone Star might succeed, but the outlier A Shi would not just die like that.
He looks like an ordinary person, he seems to have lost everything, even his own identity, but he is indeed the winner.
The Immortal King is indeed a stage that one can neither go up nor down.
If the Challenger is a small workshop that is at risk of closing down at any time due to various reasons, then the level of True Challengers and Immortal Kings are the middle and senior management of ordinary companies and large multinational corporations.
They have basically no chance of going any further and seem to be in an awkward position.
But this embarrassment is compared with the real dimension.
Essentially speaking, Lu Bai still has three levels to go before he can reach the other party.
Star level, day level, challenger and then the other party's level.
The gap between the three classes is not so easy to bridge even if Lu Bai has the support of Netherworld.
So although , he failed to break the Immortal King's plan.
"No!" Ah Shi shook her head, her expression full of bitterness.
"I lost from the very beginning. What I won was the end of the world and the corner of the sea in the real dimension. I just won once when I chose a burial place for myself." Ah Shi looked at Lu Bai, her eyes full of envy.
"The end of the world emphasizes transformation, and the corner of the sea recognizes persistence."
"This kind of real dimension has an impact on the thinking of life." Regardless of whether this influence is good or bad, there is always a sense of being too helpless.
The same is true for most other real dimensions. Relatively speaking, the Netherworld is the real dimension that has the least impact on thinking and cognition, except for the Star Sea.
"The Netherworld that Fellow Daoist Lu relies on is rarely affected in this regard, and is the best camp to join." A Shi said.
The Messenger of the Underworld is also one of the most popular forces in the multiverse. There are countless individuals who hope to join it. Unfortunately, in hundreds or thousands of dimensions, there are often only one or two people who can successfully become the Messenger of the Underworld.
On the contrary, the Traveler is much better. Although the God of Thousand Dimensions is still not a real dimension, according to the company's previous analogy, the God of Thousand Dimensions is a master who has mastered the core technology.
Relying on his technology, he can pull up a real dimension at any time, and other real dimensions have to regard him as a strong man of the same level.
Therefore, traveler has become a popular profession. Comparatively speaking, it is much easier to find a job as a traveler, and it can be regarded as a successful career path.
As a traveler, Lu Bai has the Netherworld at his back and was born in the Sea of Stars. It can be said that his current situation is one of the best in this vast multiverse.
Of course, under this situation, there are too many original and acquired driving forces in Lu Bai's soul.
Even if Lu Bai's cognition had not reached a certain level this time, he would probably be affected by the two acquired driving forces of Tianya and Haijiao.
"That's true. Winning is just a small victory, but losing almost costs you your life." Lu Bai couldn't help but sigh when he heard Ah Shi's words.
The real dimension is a hurdle that people cannot overcome no matter what.
However, when faced with the real dimension, people basically lose everything they have. For those who are out of the group, being able to choose a relatively peaceful cemetery for themselves is already a small victory.
This kind of sigh comes quickly and goes away quickly.
Lu Bai adjusted his mood faster.
It is necessary to realize that you have no control over your own situation.
Although it looks weak, it is precisely because you know your own weakness that you have more motivation to move forward.
For example, now, Lu Bai's desire is growing again.
"I suddenly feel that if Fellow Daoist Lu goes to Tianya, he may achieve great success." Ah Shi could feel the change in Lu Bai's spirit and said jokingly.
Then his expression became solemn.
"If there's anything you want to know, just ask."
"The origin of mankind?" Lu Bai nodded, and then immediately asked the question that had been on his mind for a long time.
"Human, this is a cultural meme." Ashi had anticipated this and gave everything she knew.
"Perhaps the Immortal King knows where it came from, but I have been stripped of the relevant memories."
"In short, human beings themselves are not important, what is important is their origin." A Shi gave the answer.
"And this meme was most likely brought by me."
"I was originally just an ordinary human on Earth, but after seeing a pigeon, I traveled to an alien planet."
"In order to survive, I kept getting stronger and gradually embarked on the path of becoming a star."
"But I've always missed my home and wanted to go back to Earth." When Ah Shi said this, a trace of confusion appeared on her face: "But I can't find the real Earth."
"The Earth in the Xingxiu Sea is just a specious planet with life created by the human cultural memes I brought with me."
"In the Nandou area of the Xingxiu Sea, in the Octa-core Galaxy, there is also a Mercury, where there is also a human civilization similar to that of Earth."
"Similarly, there is also the Beihu Large Natural Starry Sky Dimension, where there is also an Earth planet with a human-like civilization on it."
"The Lianshan dimension, Qianmo dimension, and Demon Cave dimension are all places where the memes of human civilization bloom."
"But these human civilizations are not my homeland."
Lu Bai looked at Ah Shi. Although he was already prepared in his heart, he still couldn't help but sense something strange.
The humans on Star Sea Earth are just a civilization born in the process of the spread of true human memes.
As long as it is a starry sky environment and the third planet in a single star system, it is possible that a similar civilization will be born if human memes fall on it.
But it's just similar.
Even the current Lu Bai can spread similar memes and let them move with the torrent of the multiverse.
As time goes by, there will always be a chance that something will happen and land in the right place, giving birth to the civilization in Lu Bai's meme.
Humans are not special; what is special is the origin of the outliers that bring human memes.
"So there is a big secret about the outliers, but this big secret is currently monopolized by Tianya?" Lu Bai nodded, indicating that he understood.
Afterwards, Lu Bai talked about a lot of things with Ah Shi.
Although A Shi had many secret memories cleared away by the Immortal King, she still had a lot of useful information left.
After all, he had gone from being an ordinary human being to an individual at the level of Immortal King.
Even though Tianya is secretly pushing us from behind, the improved vision gained in the process cannot be faked.
The entire multiverse is built on dimensional membranes.
The dimensions above are endless, and each dimension does not have any spatial distance.
Instead, they use dimensional membranes as the criterion, overlapping and interacting with each other.
It can be seen as coatings of different sizes on a plane.
The largest of them, which almost occupies the entire dimensional membrane, is the Star Sea.
Other real dimensions vary in size, but their influence can reach every dimension of the dimensional membrane.
Because the real dimensions are so huge, many real dimensions overlap with each other, and this is true even for opposing real dimensions.
For example, in the Xingxiu Sea, as Lu Bai's cognition changed, he could also directly observe the underworld.
This is because the Netherworld and the Star Sea overlap in the sense of dimensional membrane.
On the same spatial scale, Lu Bai can still observe the dirty land and even more real dimensions, which means that there are many real dimensions overlapping at this point.
The environment of Xingxiu Sea is special. As one of the strongest real dimensions, Xingxiu Sea can suppress other real dimensions.
But this is not the case with other ordinary overlapping areas.
In places like that, clashes between real dimensions are very common and the danger level is very high, especially in places where opposing real dimensions overlap, where even dimensions can be easily destroyed.
Therefore those places are called real war zones.
