The dim and empty room suddenly lit up with a light.
Angor was sitting in the center of the room with his eyes closed, as if he was thinking about something.
After some time, Angor opened his eyes again.
He looked at Angor with a strange expression.
"So it's a … target."
…
Half an hour ago.
Angor bid farewell to Laplace and went to the illusion hut alone to "do some research".
He told Laplace that he was trying to find a way to pull the souls from the corpse crystal. But in fact, he didn't do it right away.
But before that, there was something else he needed to do.
Earlier, when he was in the hidden underground palace, he was attracted by a strange painting, which triggered the Alien Eye, which allowed him to travel to a higher dimension for a short time.
In the process of traveling through the higher dimensions, he stepped into a glowing door.
The boundless curtain of light behind the door, under his gaze, began to shrink slowly. Finally, it turned into a white dot of light and entered his mind space.
In the end, it went into the spell model of the Gate of Illusion and became one with it.
Since Gleipnir was right next to him, Angor couldn't study it right away. So he asked the "server" in his mind space to analyze the changes of the Gate of Illusion first.
Now, he finally had time to do some research.
"According to the server's calculations, the Gate of Illusion on the spell slot didn't show any structural changes," Angor thought. "If there's no structural change, then the Gate of Illusion's effect is still the same."
While speaking, Angor snapped his fingers and opened a door in front of him.
He took a step inside.
Angor's figure disappeared from the room. But in the next second, the door of the illusion hut was opened again, and Angor walked out.
Angor closed the door behind him and plopped down on the cold wooden floor.
He mumbled in his mind.
"A short-distance teleportation. Nothing happened." Angor rested his chin on his hand and pondered. "If it's not teleportation, then something must have happened to that strange tunnel."
Well, it made sense.
The reason why the white light from the higher dimension was attracted to the Illusory Gate was definitely because the Illusory Gate also had the "higher dimension" attribute.
The property of the Gate of Illusion was a strange tunnel that was opened after the special energy was accumulated.
Angor once went through a strange tunnel.
Back then, his body was still in the southern wizardry region. When the "Gate of Illusion: Special Energy Mode" was activated, a strange door was opened.
After he stepped through the door, his body was left where it was. His consciousness, emotions, memories … all of them recombined to form a human body made of illusions.
This body entered a strange tunnel.
Everything in this tunnel was similar to the higher dimension world Angor went through before. The only difference was that Angor in this tunnel did not remove his emotion module.
Inside the strange tunnel, his consciousness was pushed forward by an unknown force.
It was as if he had boarded a speeding train.
. but what was the destination? Angor didn't.
He jumped out of the train midway.
Because of this, Angor went to the small dimension inside the Box of Reincarnation, where he met Alex, the former researcher who lost his memory, Ivo Sprit.
Angor didn't know what the "Gate of Illusion: Special Energy Mode" was, but he knew that the tunnel that took him to an unknown destination must exist in a higher dimension.
Once he left the tunnel, he would enter the world of regular dimensions with his illusory body. With a thought, he would return to the main body of the Gate of Illusions.
Back to the topic. The white light spots he brought out from the painting also came from a higher dimension. The reason why it was fused with the Gate of Illusion was that the gate also had a higher dimension property.
The two of them attracted each other, which caused it to become one with the Gate of Illusion.
Angor figured out the reason, but there was still a problem.
To find out what happened to the "Gate of Illusion: Special Energy Mode" caused by the white dot, he had to activate the special energy mode and open a strange tunnel.
But once the "Gate of Illusion: Special Energy Mode" was activated, the special energy stored inside would be instantly depleted, and the gate would enter a new cycle of storage.
Angor didn't plan to go to the strange tunnel yet.
He wanted to go back to Brute Cavern and find a safer place to enter the tunnel.
But if he didn't open the tunnel, he wouldn't be able to study the white dot.
What should he do now?
Should he take a break and study the white dot? Or should he open the tunnel?
In the end, Angor's curiosity won over his rationality.
He decided to activate the special energy mode and check the strange tunnel.
He had to study it sooner or later anyway, and the sooner the energy was depleted, the sooner he could enter the storage phase.
Besides, the Silver Forest Dimension was Laplace's territory, so it was relatively safe. There shouldn't be any problem traveling through the strange tunnel here.
With that in mind, Angor made up his mind and activated the "Gate of Illusion: Special Energy Mode".
However, as soon as the Gate of Illusion was activated, Angor immediately noticed something strange.
The last time he activated the Gate of Illusion, all the special energy was used up in the blink of an eye, and a strange gate made of light appeared in front of him.
This time, however, the special energy didn't run out right away. Instead, a new branch of the Gate of Illusion appeared in his mind.
It was a strange feeling.
It was like opening a folder and finding two sub-folders.
One of them was "Regular Strange Tunnel".
Another newly created sub-folder was: Strange Passage, Fixed Waymark.
Angor immediately realized that the new option of "Strange Passage: Fixed Waymark" was definitely influenced by the white light.
He carefully checked the new option and gave up on activating the special energy mode.
The two options disappeared instantly.
Angor sighed in relief.
He thought he would have to use up all his energy to open the tunnel in order to find out what the white dot did to the Gate of Illusion.
But he didn't expect to find the key point.
Also, when he focused on the new option of "Strange Passage: Fixed Waymark", he gained some additional information about it.
Now, he had a general idea of what the white dot was for.
"The white dot is a target."
Or rather, it was a special space-time waymark.
In more concrete terms, it was a platform in a strange tunnel.
Before this, Angor felt like he was being dragged along by an unknown force. It was like sitting in a train. Where was the next stop? Where was the final stop? Was there even a final stop? Everything was unknown.
If he wanted to leave, he would have to jump off the train and enter an unknown world.
And now, after the white light merged into the Illusory Door, a platform appeared in the vast train path ahead.
Was the new platform created by the white dot a one-time thing or a permanent one? Angor didn't know.
But he was sure that the next time he used the special energy to enter the tunnel, he would be able to sense the location of the new platform.
When the "train" brought him to the new platform, he could choose to get off and enter the world behind it.
If he wasn't mistaken, the world behind the new platform had something to do with the creator of the mural.
In other words, the world where the previous owner of the underground palace came from.
"Maybe it's the Ordovician Realm?"
Angor guessed. The original owner of the mural was an Ordovician, which meant the new platform was most likely referring to the Ordovician Realm.
And if it was the Ordovician Realm …
He didn't even need to ask the Void Caravan for help. He could help Luno deliver the message to the Ordovician Realm.
After all, he could stay in the strange tunnel using his illusionary body.
Angor stayed in the pocket dimension of the Reincarnation Case for a long time and witnessed Alex's transformation.
If the "Strange Tunnel: Fixed Waymark" really referred to the Ordovician Realm, he could stay there for a while using his illusionary body.
He could even go to the Ocean County officials and tell them about the Doomsday Plan.
The only thing he couldn't do was bring the Lofa Water to the Ordovician Realm.
The Water of Lofa was a physical object, and Angor's "Phantom Gate: Special Energy Mode" wasn't a physical object.
But that wasn't important.
As long as he could get in touch with the Ocean County officials and tell them the information, they could find the Water of Lofa themselves.
Of course, that was if the "Dimensional Waymark" really referred to the Ordovician Realm.
If it wasn't, then he had to give up.
…
Now that he knew what the white dots were for, he could finally relax a little.
He didn't seem to care about it when the white light went into the Phantom Gate, but he was actually very nervous.
He was worried that the white light would harm the Phantom Gate. Now, he could finally relax.
Even if the "Strange Tunnel: Fixed Waymark" was dangerous, he wasn't going there with his real body, so he wasn't worried at all.
Besides, he wasn't sure if he would go there.
In any case, the option of the Illusory Door was right there, and he wasn't forced to go.
He could choose not to go. Or, he could ask Dodoro for a "prophecy" to make sure everything went well before deciding whether to go or not.
All in all, he didn't have to worry about the white light for now.
Angor didn't think about it too much. He didn't need to activate the special energy anyway. He could deal with it later.
After resting for a while, Angor placed some of Jota's corpse crystals on the table. It was a small table that Jota created using his illusion spell.
Angor sat on the ground and looked at the dozens of crystals on the table.
What he needed to think about now was how to pull the sleeping souls from the Holy Corpse Crystal into the Dream Crystal.
How was he going to pull in such a large number? He didn't have a clue yet.
However, he knew that if he wanted to pull them in batches, he had to lock onto the sleeping souls within the Sacred Corpse Crystal.
This was a very difficult task for Angor.
The sleeping souls in the crystals gave off very weak soul ripples, so weak that Angor couldn't locate them.
For example, if Angor's spirit control was at the level of a human eye, then the soul ripples from the crystals were at the level of cells.
In other words, Angor had to use his eyes to locate the soul ripples in the crystals.
"Difficult" was no longer the word to describe it. It was an insurmountable obstacle.
Unless he could ask "Microscope" for help.
And the "microscope" from before was Laplace.
But he couldn't ask for Laplace's help right away. If he asked Laplace to help him locate the souls in the first place, he wouldn't need to study them at all.
"I'll have to figure it out myself." His mind raced as he tried to think of a way.
How to locate the weak soul ripples?
So far, there were only two ways.
First, increase the level of his spiritual power control.
It was almost impossible for Angor to improve his spirit control to the level of cells in a short time.
However, he could try using external help, such as creating an alchemy item that could improve his spirit control.
Second, to find a way to magnify the soul ripples in the crystals.
Once the soul ripples were magnified, it would be easier to locate them.
Asking Laplace to help him locate the soul ripples was also one of these methods.
However, he had no idea how to amplify his soul ripples yet.
"Maybe I can find a magic array?" Angor couldn't find one in his memory. However, he remembered that Enchantment Cyclopaedia: For Starters and Advanced Enchantment Cyclopaedia had some magic arrays related to souls.
Perhaps he could modify runes to create a magic array that could enhance soul ripples.
It shouldn't be too difficult to do that.
"That's about it. If I want to improve my spirit control, I need to find a way to create an item related to it. If I want to find a way to enhance soul ripples, I need to study magic arrays.
"What we need to consider now is which path to take?"
