"Your Excellency Shuichi, I am willing to exchange reciprocal information. I do not need a specific way. I mainly want to know the concept as a reference for the consciousness of the abyssal insect swarm."
"Can."
"ah."
When the quasi-god Xiuyi easily agreed to Lu Pingan's request, he himself was a little surprised.
Originally, he thought he would have to pay a lot of price. After all, if you want to target and kill a being, you must at least understand his form of existence.
Lu Ping'an thought that Xiu Yi would still hesitate and at least needed information exchange, but he didn't expect that the other party would agree so casually.
"Oh, when you reach my level, you will know that the road is simple. Where you want to go cannot be concealed and there is no need to conceal it. How you go is the key."
As he said that, the owl took out a spar from its talon.
Lu Ping'an took a closer look, but was stunned for a moment.
That's not some "U disk". There is a small castle in the crystal.
There are lakes, city walls, castles, and even busy farmers and woodlands. In a corner of the castle, under the eaves of a small wooden house, an old woman is smiling and raising her tea cup to herself.
"Your Excellency Shuichi"
Lu Ping'an suddenly realized that what he saw again was the extremely ordinary crystal surface.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his condition, opened the Eye of Reality with all his strength, and unleashed all his mental power.
"Sure enough, if it were you, you could see it with these eyes."
Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded behind Lu Ping'an's head. He turned around suddenly, and what he saw was the cabin by the lake, and the old woman who was still smiling gently.
"this"
"This is the fiefdom of His Excellency Xiuichi. It should be somewhere in Europe."
And beside Lu Ping'an, a woman wearing a nun's uniform appeared again.
This time, she is not a manipulated puppet in a certain sense. She exists here, but she does not only exist here.
Lu Ping'an himself was a little surprised. He hadn't seen Chris in this "complete form" for a long time. It was obvious that it was not her power that made her appear in this posture.
"When you observe her, the two parties naturally form a connection, and she naturally drags you into her world. Do you feel like you can leave at any time?"
"Well, it feels like a dream. It's the kind of dream that you can leave just by thinking, 'I'm about to wake up.'"
While being surprised, Lu Ping'an also understood why when they first met, Chris said, "Your Excellency Xiuyi doesn't know how to ascend to the gods. That's a kind of humiliation for him."
"She is an existence above ordinary gods?"
Lu Ping'an vaguely realized that the other party was not some small world or courtyard, but was really vacationing in a manor in Eastern Europe.
At this moment, Lu Ping'an thought of the "Firebird". Under her wings were endless worlds, or to put it another way, her body itself was embedded in countless worlds. The two sides could not be distinguished from each other. They seemed to coexist, but they seemed not to be in the same place.
Dimensions.
Similarly, there are "all spirits", such existences are infinitely integrated and infinitely divided, one is ten thousand, and ten thousand is one.
"One is ten thousand, ten thousand is one? Is this your understanding? Very good."
"Uh, did I say it out loud? Or did I read minds?"
"No, at the level of consciousness we are too close. Your shallow thinking is transparent to me. Young people must learn to hide their little thoughts."
Lu Pingan was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, the old woman laughed again.
"Yes, it has been restrained. Is it a mental barrier? The basic skills are very solid."
Although it was a compliment, Lu Pingan's expression was quite subtle. He had a lot of little secrets. Fortunately, the other party reminded him.
Lu Pingan did not hesitate and responded to the elder's kindness. He also smiled and sat outside the cabin.
Even if he didn't say it explicitly, he knew that this "elder" didn't care about his little secret being known to outsiders.
"In fact, it's just the opposite. Beings like us hope to be understood by more people of the same race. That is also our anchor point."
The old woman brought Lu Pingan a cup of fragrant tea and talked about it with great interest.
"We exist here, but we don't just exist here. Our 'self' is not on the material level. To be precise, what you see now, whether it is me still on the earth or the separate body in Mercury 42, is
It is one of my cells, or in other words, information carrier."
"Daqun" Shuichi, quasi-gods, or beings above the eighth level who are not gods, are all ninth-level quasi-gods.
But unlike most quasi-gods who are unable to become gods without a suitable opportunity to become gods, she is disdainful and unable to become gods.
Gods, or the orderly divine kingdom with a certain will as its core, are closer to existence on the material level.
And she
"It's hard to explain my state of existence in words, but your eyes should be able to understand it."
"Well, I was lucky enough to see the firebird."
"Oh, it's really amazing."
Gods are a solipsistic realm forcibly constructed with "order (reason)" and an entity kingdom composed of rules.
The Shuichi in front of him is a "reason" in itself, a whole that transcends dimensions.
Since she is reason, a higher-dimensional pure existence, and a whole composed of countless individual cells, she can naturally spread her body everywhere.
She is like a "giant" of high-dimensional existence. You cannot understand everything about her, just because your cells and hers are of the same level.
Kill her? Lu Ping'an shook his head, helpless because of his previous "arrogance". He had the means to kill such a being.
"Gods are not the only direction of evolution. My 'total amount' is not as good as the gods. If they really want to have trouble with the old woman, I can only avoid it."
Although the old woman said it very modestly, Lu Pingan didn't think she would be afraid of any god.
Lu Pingan closed his eyes, and there was a trace of blood in his eyes. Although the "existence" in front of him was quite friendly, if he insisted on observing its full picture, he would probably be causing trouble for himself.
Lu Ping'an doesn't need to know "everything", he only needs to know how to deal with the will of the abyss cluster
"If it is the will of the abyss, I advise you to give up. It is an existence far beyond me and cannot be killed. But if it is just the collective consciousness of the abyssal insect swarm, it is just a collection of biological groups in the abyssal plane.
.”
While talking, Lu Pingan was inexplicably attracted to the old woman's "eyes".
It was a pair of black pupils. Unknowingly, Lu Pingan's gaze passed through it, and he seemed to see it again. He saw it.
"A green planet?"
"That's the biggest piece of my body."
But the old woman responded with a smile. In her opinion, Lu Ping'an had far more potential than expected. He actually found something he usually hid because he was "too close".
Perhaps, even the gods will not be his end
Lu Pingan wiped the blood from the corners of his eyes and stopped looking around. In fact, at that moment, he also saw a woman, a "girl" who was much younger than the "grandma" in front of him.
Which one is the true body? Is it like she said, every piece is the true body? Lu Ping'an doesn't think it would be a good idea to investigate further. Curiosity always kills the cat, and he still wants to live for a few more years.
But now, what he needs, the existence in front of him, can give him a response.
"The collective consciousness of the Abyss Zerg is not a god, but 'god' is a form of existence. He is no weaker than ordinary gods."
In the eyes of some people, this is information worth thousands of dollars, but in the eyes of "old women", it is the babble of an old man that no one can understand in most cases.
But the young man's eyes that looked "far away" from time to time showed that he not only understood, but had even "seen" it.
"It's amazing, but the future is formidable"
But in the old woman's eyes, Chris and Lu Ping'an were not there.
The same focal point, in her left eye, is the figure of a young man, and reflected in her right eye is the shy smile of a woman sipping tea and chatting.
Two consciousnesses were talking to Xiu Yi at the same time, but they seemed to be the same person in parallel time and space.
