Seeing that, Viken grinned hideously. His body that was changing and twisting suddenly spread out and collapsed, turning into two worlds where light and darkness overlapped. One of them was corrupted and evil, full of pain and desperation, and the other was sacred, full of the praises of angels, beautiful and dreamy.
The remaining primeval hell and Mountain Paradise reappeared, constituting the previous balance. Viken briefly regained the feeling that he belonged to this world but did not belong to it.
Such a change suggested that Viken had completely abandoned himself. He would rather regress and perish in order to find an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to Lucien so that he would not "return" until millions of years later, like the mysterious existence of the World of Souls!
The feeling was close to the feeling that Lucien gave at this moment, as if he were in the same world as the disappearing Lucien!
Got you!
Viken grasped Lucien's scent immediately!
However, exactly at this moment, he discovered that the time and space around him became dark and profound. Brilliant stars were everywhere, and the edge of the space far away vaguely constricted. The power of wind that represented electromagnetism was divided into segments, as if it were exchanging something. Below him were elements in different colors that looked like planets. Electrons surrounded the atomic nuclei and spread out into clouds. Above his head was an enormous fireball.
Is this Lucien's "cognitive world"?
I've broken into his "cognitive world"?
No. The state that he and I are in right now is similar to the state of the "cognitive world". We seem to belong to this world but not to this world. We are connected to this world in a certain way.
Viken's thoughts churned as he roughly understood what was going on.
Of course, he was also very clear that the state that he and Lucien were in right now was rather different from the cognitive world. The reason why he could break in was obviously that Lucien intentionally adjusted the state of the cognitive world.
Why did he do that?
In any case, since he allowed me to break in, I will completely destroy his cognitive world, which will be even more difficult to recover and return!
Countless thoughts flashed in Viken's head, and he made up his mind in a moment. The primeval hell and Mountain Paradise began to expand.
Suddenly, "He" saw Lucien in the distant "cosmos" reveal a gentle and elegant smile once again. The gigantic fireball above "His" head suddenly turned behind "Him," turning behind "Him" into a cluster of thick darkness.
The darkness that even the light couldn't penetrate released an unimaginable attraction force. The invisible and terrifying attraction force immediately drew Viken, including the primeval hell and Mountain Paradise, to it!
Under normal circumstances, one of Lucien's Host Stars of Destiny could not effectively influence the material world. However, at this moment, Viken's status was synchronized with the cognitive world.
Under the attraction force that could swallow everything, the expansion of the primeval hell and Mountain Paradise was stopped. Viken was absorbed into the darkness before he had the chance to scream.
However, Lucien was not relaxed at all. Instead, his smile turned grave. His cognitive world quickly faded, and the perspective in the shadow of the universe behind him changed, from the enormous fireball and the blue planet to an unknown darkness that seemed to be swirling.
The darkness was even more terrifying than the darkness in Lucien's cognitive world. Even though there was a universe between them, Douglas, Maltimus, and the other demigods sensed the power that could tear them apart easily.
Then, the darkness in the cognitive world had a tiny communication with the darkness!
Crack, crack, crack. The stars in Lucien's cognitive world were absorbed into the darkness. Everything was shaking, but the things in the darkness entered the darkness through the channel of communication too.
Ah!
After a soundless scream, Lucien hurried to cut off the connection and turned the darkness to the back, allowing the fireball to reappear. However, even though he had done everything perfectly, his cognitive world was already a mess, which dimmed his body and indicated that he was heavily wounded.
Viken was completely doomed!
Seeing that, Maltimus felt rather sympathetic. Lucien was too strong right now!
He had thought of helping Viken escape in order to maintain the balance of the situation, but neither Douglas nor the Silver Moon had let down their wariness of him. Therefore, he could only choose to surrender in the future …
The shadow of the universe and the projection of the cognitive world slowly disappeared. Lucien's body was quickly condensed. He nodded at Douglas, Alterna, and Fernando, the Silver Moon, and the rest of them.
The shadows in the sky were gone, and the bright sunlight illuminated him, dyeing him gold.
In Allyn and Rentato, although nobody cared about the battle anymore, many people were still murmuring to themselves, "That's right, Lucien.
"It's a lie … It's a lie …"
… …
One day later, inside Babel in the Atomic Universe …
Hardly had Lucien walked out of the laboratory when he saw Natasha looking at the cosmos outside of the window with a glass of wine in her hand, which was different from the main material world.
"Have you found a way to recover Mr. Maskelyne's condition?" Natasha asked concernedly.
Lucien nodded, but then he shook his head. "I did, but it will take some time to figure it out. Even though I'm a demigod, I'm not omnipotent."
When Viken melted Mountain Paradise, Maskelyne and the other seraphs who were capable of escaping hid in the Realm of Gates. After all, they were not closely connected to the primeval hell like the primeval devils.
"Demigod …" Natasha bared her teeth, indicating that she was working hard. "What's the high-dimensional soul that you mentioned? Is it self-conscious? Can it control the projection of the corresponding soul? "
She was very interested in Lucien's model. Although she did not understand most of it, she knew the key to her advancement after all. However, she had concerns too, fearing that the essence of her high-dimensional soul could control her. The moment she thought that she might be controlled by an unknown, mysterious thing, she felt rather uncomfortable and wanted to slay the enemy, even if it was another "her".
"I don't know. If I could completely understand the essence and status of the high-dimensional soul, I would've already become a 'true god'. Right now, I can only make some speculations based on the current phenomenon and my contact with it after becoming a demigod. For example, it's possible that it was in the state of chaos in the first place, and it was combined with matter after it was projected to every parallel universe, resulting in a distinctive and unique consciousness. That's why its memories and ways of thinking would disappear after its death, because they don't belong to the essence of the high-dimensional soul." Lucien shared his thoughts, which he was not very confident about.
"Consciousness can only be generated when it's combined with matter? But there are a lot of souls that are independent of the body, like ghosts. "Natasha looked like an arcanist who was eager to learn.
Lucien thought for a moment and said, "The soul that I usually talk about is more of a shell, a shell made of the special isotopes of certain elements and electromagnetic fields. It's sort of a matter, too. At least, I believe that in our universe, the projection of the high-dimensional soul has to rely on matter."
Natasha scratched her chin. "What about the 'starry sky of destiny'? It doesn't have any matter. Also, why would a planet that exists in reality announce our fate? "
"You've answered your own question." Lucien chuckled and took over the champagne that Natasha poured for him. "By tracing the 'connection' between the high-dimensional soul and the projection of the material world, we can grasp all the traces of the soul in the material world. It works in the same way as' God's Arrival ', except that it is used for destruction. In the high-dimensional state, all the traces of all lives should be overlapping or entangled. That's the' real appearance 'of the starry sky of destiny. Therefore, when one side changes, the other side will sense it."
"And with all the traces, we can effectively infer some changes and directions in the future. It's just like how we can solve the answer to a question if we have enough formulas. However, because the 'future' involves too many parameters and too many unknowns, we can only make vague predictions. It's hard to be certain."
"Such overlaps and entanglements in the high-dimensional state can only be seen through the 'cognitive world' and the 'reflection of the Host Star of Destiny' when we meditate or perform spells such as' astrology '. The projection also depends on matter. So, it manifests through the planets and hides the information it contains in the operation patterns and status of different Host Stars of Destiny."
"Therefore, the starry sky of destiny that we see is the same as the starry sky of reality, but the operation patterns are vastly different and hardly comparable. Mr. President's success in advancing into a demigod was not based on the collision but on the grasp of the traces of his own soul."
Listening to Lucien's brief description, Natasha nodded her head, deep in thought. "So, the starry sky of destiny shows most of the patterns of the starry sky of reality, but the starry sky of reality has nothing to do with destiny?"
"Yes." Lucien did not think that Natasha would be able to understand him if he explained his speculation more deeply. Therefore, he nodded his head in agreement.
Natasha seemed to be in high spirits. "You have touched the essence of the high-dimensional soul through the connection of the two souls in your body and become a demigod. Then, how can you advance into a true god and become immortal?"
She had already heard from Lucien that he had melted his own soul from another universe. That was why he could advance into a demigod so quickly. However, Natasha did not feel much about it. After all, she did not know Lucien at that time, and the Lucien in her heart was obviously the one after the fusion.
Lucien thought for a moment and said, "It is impossible to calculate the essence of the original soul by knowing the answers and the few projected patterns because there are too few formulas and too many unknowns. Therefore, in order to become immortal, you have to find a way to go to other parallel universes and find your other 'selves' to get more answers and projected patterns. In the end, you can 'solve' the mathematical model of the essence of the soul through 'simultaneous equations'."
"Therefore, you have to find more 'selves' and obtain more information. Then, you can advance based on the rigorous mathematical model. That is the path of immortality for arcanists!"
Natasha said somewhat enviously, "What a clear direction … What about the Knight?"
"The further one walks on the path of immortality, the more similar it will be. After all, it is already close to the essence of the world. Therefore, the path of Knight should be similar to the path of immortality for arcanists, except for the differences in details." Lucien chuckled. "It is no longer a matter of instincts to advance. You have to figure out the corresponding things, find your 'self', and find more 'selves' to compare."
Natasha's lips twitched. She decided not to consider such a sad question for now. "Why do you think there is magic on our side but not on the other side?"
"The projection of the soul is not very powerful, and the influence on the underlying matter is different. Also, the flow of time is fast on our side and slow on the other side. So, we can borrow the ocean of energy on the other side, but they can't borrow ours." Lucien's voice became lower.
"But now that we've crossed paths, there should be some changes on the other side, right?" Natasha asked in confusion.
Lucien put down the cup and walked to the window. He said with a smile, "Maybe. For example, macro electrons, ball lightning …"
"What?"
"I was kidding."
