Luo Nan quietly gazed at the world before him. He remained motionless for a long time. Even when Xue Lei flipped onto the viewing platform and called out to him, Luo Nan did not respond.
Xue Lei was a bit frightened. From his perspective, Luo Nan's face was stained with blood and tears. It was painted into a devilish face. Blood seeped from the corners of Luo Nan's eyes, and Luo Nan's eyes were completely red. Luo Nan should be sent to the hospital immediately.
"Hey, which one of you two is going to say something?" Zhang Yingying, who had been ignored for a long time, slapped the steering wheel.
"Sister Ying, I think Nanster's state isn't right." Xue Lei was flustered. He rushed to ask Zhang Yingying for advice. However, Luo Nan's calm state of mind was very similar to Gym Master Xiu's usual demeanor. Xue Lei subconsciously lowered his voice, afraid of disturbing Luo Nan.
Before he could receive a response from Zhang Yingying, Luo Nan's voice suddenly rang in his ear. "The breath of heaven and earth may not be impossible to find."
These words came out of nowhere. Xue Lei was stunned, but he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He carefully pondered a few times before remembering that this was related to the gym master's Fate Theory. He had spoken of this to Luo Nan some time ago.
However, the gym master's original intention was to say that the world was vast and the human strength was minuscule. Cultivators needed to constantly work hard and be attentive in all aspects. Only then could they borrow the power of heaven and earth for their own use. What stood out was that the mind was before the energy, and the energy was before the strength.
The core of Luo Nan's words seemed to have changed.
Xue Lei did not quite understand Luo Nan's thoughts, but he was worried about Luo Nan's state. He could only ask cautiously, "Nanster?"
"The flow and operation of the river, the existence and destruction of the forest, all have rules. They form their own systems. They can be said to have their own formats. It is these small formats that are like sets of gears naturally formed by the heavens. They are joined together to form the large format of heaven and earth. "
Luo Nan had already entered the state of mind. He continued speaking, "From the perspective of Formatting Theory, the Heaven and Earth Format is vast and boundless. It is rich in layers and changes. It is like a production line assembled from complex machines. Tens of thousands of gears operate in sequence, transmitting power layer by layer."
"Here we go again!" Zhang Yingying could not help but groan. The scene of her talking to herself was simply a replica of that night at Frost River Reality. Unfriendly thoughts and concepts assaulted her face.
She never expected that Luo Nan would purposely oppose Zhang Yingying. While Zhang Yingying was grumbling on the other side, Luo Nan suddenly came out from his extreme self-centered state. He sought interaction and posed a question to the two.
"The Heaven and Earth Format's production line won't stop working. Under such circumstances, to insert a self-made 'gear' into the production line and make it seamless, how do I do it?"
"…"
"The answer is coupling!"
Luo Nan was like a child striving to show off. He impatiently announced the answer. A smile blossomed on his bloody, tear-stained face. It was extraordinarily bright and splendid.
Xue Lei was stupefied once more. He didn't quite understand Luo Nan's words, but he had never seen Luo Nan have such a bright and clear appearance ever since they became acquainted.
Indeed, Luo Nan was extremely delighted. The deeper his observations of Gear went, the more he fell head over heels for the mysteries within.
This "Gear" building was embedded within the Heaven and Earth Format. Rumbling production lines were added to the mix. They were precise and orderly, seamless, and there wasn't the slightest hint of artificiality. It was as if this was the natural quality of the world.
If Luo Nan hadn't grasped the rhythm of Heaven and Earth Breathing, how could this have happened?
From this, Luo Nan was able to confirm an earlier guess: His mother's Coupling Design was closely related to Formatting Theory. It was like a kind of applied explanation. It demonstrated to the world how to apply Formatting Theory to the plane of reality.
And this tangible achievement belonged to his mother!
"Formatting Theory? Gear? "
Xue Lei finally found the key words in Luo Nan's words. He tried to follow the direction of Luo Nan's gaze. He gazed into the distance with his eyesight under the dusky sky. He was able to make out the rough outlines of the distant forest and the landmark building, but that was it.
"Nanster, you can see Gear from here?" Xue Lei was skeptical of the level of Luo Nan's eyesight, but he was more worried. The burden of exhausting his eyesight in Luo Nan's current state was far too heavy.
"I can see it. It's so beautiful …." Luo Nan's voice was fleeting, just like the marvelous scene before his eyes.
It was impossible to touch upon the hidden mysteries of Gear with the naked eye or mental sensing clairvoyance. Only the two modes of vision and mental sensing could realize information coupling and cross positioning. Only then could one touch upon the truth behind the surface. One could see the formless law and order, silently transforming and nurturing in the void of heaven and earth.
Luo Nan greedily watched all of this. He couldn't see enough no matter what.
Xue Lei stomped his feet anxiously to the side. He was unable to understand the world within Luo Nan's eyes, but he was still able to grasp a bit of the energy emanating from Luo Nan's body.
From what he understood, the energy of Luo Nan's eyes orifice was far too vigorous. It was like a wildly growing plant. It was a seedling before, but it had become a towering tree in the blink of an eye.
Where did this terrifying driving force come from? Was the aftereffect enough? Could the structural strength of the skeleton-shaped orifice hold up?
A single mishap and he would be crippled!
"Oh right! Find the gym master!" The first person Xue Lei thought of when his life was at stake was still the gym master.
But right when he planned to exit the three-way communications and make a call to find the gym master, Luo Nan suddenly took a deep breath. His arm was pressed against the glass of the protective fence. His head was facing down, and his eyelids drooped. He took the initiative to stop his incomprehensible gaze into the distance. He appeared extremely tired.
Xue Lei rushed over. "Nanster, are you okay? Why don't we take a break first …. "
Luo Nan didn't open his eyes. He just laughed. "I might be in a bit of a situation."
"Huh?"
"A kind of order is like a gear. Two kinds of orders are coupled, and the gears bite together. If there's no precise design to connect them, and the difference in volume between the two is too large, then it will be very troublesome. "
Xue Lei was stupefied. Zhang Yingying spoke hatefully from the other side. "Don't worry about him! He's incurable!"
Luo Nan understood the different forms of concern and worry from his friends, but it was hard for him to continue explaining the situation with his body. This was because it involved his deep secrets.
The coupling relationship formed between the heart lantern of the eyes orifice and mental senses was essentially the contact between Luo Nan's body cultivation and the sizable Formatting Theory system.
They could couple, but friction and collisions were unavoidable. Ten days of cultivation and sixty electric shocks to the heart lantern had clearly revealed the dangerous factors involved.
Moreover, the situation had changed once again, and the trend was not good. It was like the thunderclouds high in the sky. Charged particles interweaved. Something was bound to happen ….
A powerful light suddenly flashed, and the external neuron was like a demon dragon that roared through the wind and thunder. It appeared in the palace of Luo Nan's brain, shaking off a body of electricity to bombard the heart lantern.
The sixty-first time was stronger than any other time!
This was a direct collision between the external neuron and the structure of the eyes orifice.
Luo Nan had a premonition in his mind, but the intensity of this collision exceeded his expectations. His body suddenly tightened, and his mind became dizzy. He seemed to hear the sound of his eyeballs shattering in his daze.
The impact his brain nerves received was transmitted to every part of his body through his tightly interwoven nervous system. His muscles, bones, blood, and fascia all twitched reflexively.
Luo Nan curled up his body and crouched down. He reached out his hand to cover his eyes, and tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes. His eyeballs heated up, and his eyelids twitched wildly. It was extremely uncomfortable.
Xue Lei's cry of alarm and Zhang Yingying's panicked shouts entered his ears. The two were in chaos.
Luo Nan's thoughts became more and more clear amidst the pain. He could even feel a slight change in the touch of his hand covering his eyes. It wasn't blood mixed with tears. Instead, it was more viscous. The intense and powerful pressure caused greater damage to his body.
This is nothing. I know what's going on.
Luo Nan calmly comforted himself. The results were very good. There was probably nothing that could shake his heart more than the discovery of the mysteries of Gear in a short amount of time.
Even though his eyes couldn't see, he still accurately grabbed Xue Lei's outstretched arm and whispered, "I'm fine. Someone's coming from behind."
The sound of water surged from the direction of the Heavenly Ocean Lake just as Luo Nan finished speaking. It was mixed with a muffled explosion. An enormous devil ray soared into the sky and landed heavily, raising large waves in the pool.
At the same time, a figure leaped up gracefully, jumping onto the frame structure propped up above the side of the pool. The figure wore a black diving suit, revealing the strong and sturdy lines of a human body. His face wore enormous diving goggles, and he had no intention of taking them off.
This was one of the members of the investigation team sent by Headquarters, Puppeteer.
Xue Lei turned around, protecting Luo Nan behind him. His eyes were vigilant.
Puppeteer didn't express anything. He relied on his good position to look down from above. His eyes behind the diving goggles continued to size up the two people at the edge of the viewing platform. Especially Luo Nan. Puppeteer was very interested in Luo Nan's painful crouching state.
Only a few seconds passed, and two elevators arrived not far from the edge of the Heavenly Ocean Lake.
The first to come out was Black Beetle. His sunglasses were thrown away, but his face was still a bit green. His cold and sinister gaze pierced over. He ignored Xue Lei, only landing on Luo Nan's arched back.
Xue Lei wasn't the least bit polite to this person. He glared fiercely at Luo Nan, but he was still a bit nervous in his heart. Luo Nan's condition was terrible to the extreme. Not only did Black Beetle have to split his attention to protect Luo Nan, but he also had to defend against attacks from two sides at the same time …. Oh right, there was still an elevator! Could it be the enemy's backup?
The metal door of the other elevator opened just as Xue Lei was having a headache.
Xue Lei was stupefied for a moment, but he managed to correct the direction of his understanding with great difficulty.
"Senior …. Senior Sister Tian?"
The person who walked out of the elevator was none other than Tian Si. This dainty and beautiful senior sister had a deathly pale complexion. Her steps were stiff, and her upper body was in a strange posture.
She crossed her hands and clutched her neck. Her strength was quite heavy, and her fingers had already sunk deep into her delicate skin. The enormous pressure caused her mouth to open slightly, and her vermillion lips to tremble.
This scene was bizarre and absurd.
Due to the existence of self-protection mechanisms, it was impossible for normal people to use this sort of method to strangle themselves to death. However, this was not necessarily the case in a situation where one was under the control of extraordinary power.
Xue Lei gnashed his teeth as he watched. "You bunch of people …. You guys are members of the Society!"
No one paid attention to him. Puppeteer spoke from above the pool, but he was pointing at Tian Si. His tone was gentle and without any distinguishing features. It was as if he was chatting normally. "We've met again after a short separation, beautiful. Do you want to say something?"
Tian Si's lips trembled. Xue Lei's eyes and ears were sharp, but he could still hear her teeth chattering. She could be considered strong if she didn't have a mental breakdown after such a bizarre and savage method fell on her body.
With great difficulty, Tian Si managed to squeeze out a few trembling words from her throat.
"I-I've been taking the stairs all this time."
"......"
Everyone on the viewing platform was stupefied.
Only Luo Nan, who had fallen to one knee amidst the pain, laughed in spite of himself, though his laughter was a bit shaky. He didn't turn his head. He just raised an arm.
"It's my fault."
