Even though it was her suggestion, Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt a little nervous when the guide nodded his head.
There was no such thing as a 100% guarantee in this world. However, she had only left the Traveler in the Clouds for three days, so the chances of the old woman's master appearing in the Karma Museum should be low, right?
At least, it was low enough for her to take a risk.
Moreover, the guide's understanding of Higher Consciousness was far more profound than hers. Perhaps, he could find the solution to Magus' problem from the old woman?
Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth and opened the mushroom-skin pouch in her hand. She took it from the Edible World of Truth. It was just the right size to fit a human head. As the humanoid form in the seed's ability could only come out from "gaps" or "gaps", Lin Sanjiu specially hollowed out the bottom of the pouch to make a passage for the old woman.
Even Mrs. Manas, who hadn't disappeared yet, felt nervous. "What if the old woman rushes out the moment I open the seed?"
Lin Sanjiu gulped. "That won't happen. I can control the speed at which the humanoid form comes out. It's like squeezing toothpaste … "
While Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath, rubbed her palms, prepared herself, and stretched her neck and shoulders, the guide and the three humanoids were very puzzled, but they were very patient. The guide even asked, "Why are you so nervous? Did you steal your Higher Consciousness?"
What a sharp eye.
"Hold the pouch," Lin Sanjiu didn't answer. She gestured for the guide to open the pouch, "I'm going to start now!"
It was not the first time she had released a self-aware humanoid from the seed — the last was Hag — but releasing one only required her to make a mistake. However, if she made a mistake, the humanoid form that was waiting for an opportunity to counterattack was another kind of nervous.
Perhaps Lin Sanjiu felt too threatened by the owner of the old woman, causing her to be overly cautious. The moment the old woman revealed her head, Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She didn't even realize what she had done. Lin Sanjiu's hand shot into the bag like lightning. Her fingers dug deep into the top of the old woman's head and pulled out a bunch of hair with a loud ripping sound.
The old woman didn't even have the chance to scream before she was swallowed back into the seed's ability.
"Very good," Lin Sanjiu praised herself inwardly.
Since the old woman's entire body was made up of Willpower, her hair was naturally Willpower as well. In less than two seconds the old woman was bald; she had minimized the time that the old woman was exposed to the world.
Caster pressed her hand to her head, as if she was subconsciously trying to protect her little waves.
The guide looked at the white hair that was carefully placed in his hand and didn't know how to react.
"This is consciousness … Oh, this really is consciousness."
In the time it took to say a few words, the greyish-white hair seemed to have been diluted by water vapor. It gradually blended together and melted into a shape. In the blink of an eye, it completely seeped into the guide's palm.
Strangely enough, when Lin Sanjiu held them in her hands, she felt that they were just a bunch of ordinary, slightly disgusting hair. However, when the guide held them in her hands, the Higher Consciousness that had "solidified" them into hair seemed to have been relieved and melted into their most basic form.
The guide froze in silence again.
The time spent waiting for Lin Sanjiu to "come back to life" seemed to flow much slower than usual.
If Lin Sanjiu hadn't been a rose, a sand, a particle, and a universe for so many years, she would have felt that this period of waiting was especially frustrating. But now, it had become an opportunity for her to return to her body and gradually settle down.
If the source of higher consciousness was the energy that existed in the universe, then perhaps the so-called "vitality", "prana" in Hinduism, "qi" in Taoism, "mana" in Polynesia … all referred to the same thing. It was what made a tree different from a wood fiber and a human being different from a collection of cells.
The guide was right. Her understanding of that experience would surface one after another. It was as if she had already known about them, but she had forgotten about them and had finally climbed out of the ancient ocean and onto the dry land.
Only Lin Sanjiu's conjectures and associations seemed to be completely new. For example, the "Astral Plane", which was built from the energy of the universe, was actually an artificial layer of the universe dimension?
It was precisely because it didn't exist only in a person's mind that it could connect to every apocalyptic world. Every person in an apocalyptic world could enter the Astral Plane.
Based on this logic, since it was a cosmic dimension, and it wasn't affected by the laws of the apocalypse and the deluge, could humans — not higher consciousness, but humans themselves — enter it?
Just as she was absorbed in her thoughts, the more she thought about it. The guide suddenly shifted his gaze and said, "I found it. The owner of this higher consciousness had indeed been to the "100,000 Shifting Worlds Dream". "
Lin Sanjiu shuddered and temporarily snapped out of her wandering thoughts. For a moment, countless questions flooded her mind, but she didn't know what to ask.
"The reason why it took me so long," the guide said as if he felt that he needed to explain his efficiency, "is that the owner of this higher consciousness had visited the" 100,000 Shifting Worlds Dream "more than 50 years ago. Hmm, compared to the wisp of Willpower he left behind at that time, his current level of advancement is truly unbelievable … "
"Who is he?" Lin Sanjiu interrupted him and asked hurriedly, "What's his name? What does he look like? "
It was hard to imagine that the person who single-handedly destroyed an entire world, separated Magus's body and soul, and almost sent Lin Sanjiu to her death, who she hadn't even met until now, could be easily named by a 3D guide.
"Xiao Sius."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a few seconds. She felt a little surreal. She asked the guide to repeat the name twice and etched it into her mind.
"His name sounds imposing," the life mentor commented, "As expected of such a powerful person."
"Is he powerful?" The guide walked past Lin Sanjiu and started a conversation with the life mentor, "He seems very ordinary. However, the information I have here was left behind by him more than 50 years ago. "
"What does he look like?" Lin Sanjiu interrupted the conversation between the two inhumans.
"Which one?"
Which one? "Xiao Sius, what does he look like?"
"Which Xiao Sius are you talking about?"
Lin Sanjiu glared at the guide, wondering if the guide had made a mistake. "How many Xiao Sius are there?"
"I don't know how many there are," the guide said. "But fifty-six years ago, there were three Xiao Sius who visited this place, and each of them looked different."
"Is he a three-headed hellhound? Also, this is called ordinary? "
Lin Sanjiu suppressed the anxiety in her heart and asked, "Then how do you know they are all Xiao Sius?"
"Because they all gave me a trace of higher consciousness, and they all gave me the same name," the guide answered. "Even though they came from three different people, their higher consciousness belonged to the same person. I know that they gave me a strand of their own Willpower, unlike you, who stored a portion of an outsider's Willpower … Regarding this, my judgment is quite accurate. "
Higher consciousness was the most unique characteristic of a person. Close relatives might have a high degree of similarity in their DNA, but higher consciousness could not be faked, imitated, or duplicated.
"Then, why would such a situation happen?"
"This involves information about Xiao Sius's ability," the guide said professionally, "Without his permission … or rather, without the permission of any of the Xiao Sius, I can't reveal it to you."
Lin Sanjiu was already at the door, but it was blocked.
Lin Sanjiu asked for the appearance of the three Xiao Sius, but it wasn't very helpful. There were men and women among them, but none of them had any special characteristics. Besides, if Xiao Sius could be several people at the same time, who knew what he looked like now?
Compared to a split personality, Xiao Sius was the complete opposite. He had several bodies but only one personality.
"Wait a minute," Mrs. Manas suddenly called out.
At the same time, Lin Sanjiu suddenly came to a realization. She felt a chill run down her spine.
If there were more than one Xiao Sius at the same time … In other words, there was only one Xiao Sius walking in the clouds beside Rena.
"If there are other Xiao Sius in the Karma Museum … Can you sense the old woman who disappeared in a flash?"
