Chapter 3669 The Power Arrives

About ten minutes later, Starworm returned to the manor villa in silence.

At the gate of the villa, he met Gleipnir who had been waiting there.

"You..." Looking at Gleipnir's calm appearance, Starworm hesitated again and again, but couldn't help asking: "Why don't you tell me directly?"

"Tell you what?" Gleipnir raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"...There is nothing outside the fog."

Gleipnir: "Then what?"

Starworm hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "I circled the location of the fog, and the whole manor seemed to be covered by an invisible dome."

"Looking out through the dome, I can vaguely see the outlines of some city buildings, but I can't see them clearly, and I don't know if they really exist."

Gleipnir nodded: "Then why do you think this is?"

Starworm pondered: "I don't know, but there are only two possibilities. First, someone used some kind of great power to separate this manor from the city."

"Second, the so-called city outline outside is simply false. This manor is actually a built box garden, or... a cage."

Gleipnir did not comment on Starworm's guess, but continued to ask: "Which possibility do you tend to?"

Starworm thought about what happened during the period after he was awakened, and finally said silently: "Maybe... the second one."

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

Starworm brought himself into Laplace's perspective. If it were him, when he suddenly encountered an alien who didn't know good or evil, didn't know his intentions, and didn't know his strength, in order to avoid bringing disaster to this world, he would definitely choose a relatively hidden, or even relatively closed place to awaken the unknown existence of Starmark.

And this closed place is most likely in a cage isolated from the outside world.

So, the second possibility is the greatest.

Gleipnir didn't comment on Starworm's answer, but chuckled and said: "Now, do you understand? Why don't I tell you the answer directly? Because you may not believe what I said. Only when you personally see the barrier outside the fog, you will think and associate. Finally, find the truth."

Gleipnir's answer also indirectly confirmed that she deliberately let Starworm go outside.

Starworm: "I have seen the barrier you mentioned. Can you tell me why there is a barrier?"

Gleipnir: "Why is there a barrier? Didn't you guess it? We are worried that there will be accidents if we wake you up, so we specially found a place isolated from the world."

If Starworm had received this answer before, he would definitely be skeptical, but after he saw the barrier that isolated the fog, he believed it.

"Then...you let me discover this 'truth', are you going to tell me that I'm imprisoned?"

Gleipnir looked at the starworm whose face gradually calmed down, and shook his head gently: "No, I just want to tell you that the world you see is not the real world."

"Do you want to see the real world outside?"

The starworm repeated in a low voice: "The real world outside?"

"Yes, it's the outside world." Gleipnir: "I trapped you here at the beginning just because I didn't know you. Now, although I don't know much about you, but..."

Gleipnir's eyelids drooped, and he said in a way that was almost whispering: "You know, we don't want to offend the star master."

"So, if you want to see the outside world, I can take you out."

The moment Gleipnir mentioned "Star Master", the starworm knew that the other party would definitely not lie here.

The starworm said almost without hesitation: "Of course I want to go out!"

It's not just because of curiosity, wanting to see what the so-called "real" world is like, but more importantly, he can't collect more intelligence if he stays here.

However, after Starworm finished speaking, he still hesitated: "But does Ms. Laplace know about this?"

In his opinion, Laplace is the person in charge, and only if she agrees, he is qualified to leave here.

Gleipnir: "Of course I know, if she doesn't agree, do you think I will wait for you here?"

Starworm pondered: "Since Ms. Laplace agrees, then... I want to go out, I want to see the outside world."

"Very good." Gleipnir nodded: "I will take you out, but before going out, I need to make three rules with you."

Starworm: "Please go ahead."

"First, after you leave, I need you to cooperate with me to do some small trials. Don't worry, just like letting you sleep before, it's a very ordinary and not too difficult trial."

Starworm nodded. If it's just this kind of trial, he can cooperate.

But...

Before, Gleipnir said that he would see the other side of the world after sleeping, which made him misunderstand that there is a special dream realm. As a result, nothing changed after waking up, except that he went to the outside of the manor to see the "barrier".

The "barrier" in the mist was probably originally there, and it should have nothing to do with whether he slept or not.

In this case, why did Gleipnir let him sleep before?

Facing the doubts of the starworm, Gleipnir just said: "Is there a possibility that I didn't lie to you, but you haven't reached the qualification of "seeing the other side of the world" yet?"

Looking at Gleipnir's meaningful expression, the starworm hesitated.

He recalled the dream he had before.

It seems like a long, endless bridge of dreams with no end in sight...

Perhaps, it’s not that there is no special dreamland, but that if you want to reach the special dreamland, you must go to the other side of the Dream Bridge? And the reason why he has been stuck on the Dream Bridge with no end in sight, just like Gleipnir said, is because he has not met the qualifications?

But, is that really the case?

Starworm was a little suspicious. He asked Greipnir, but Greipnir did not tell him the truth. He just said: "You need to discover the truth yourself."

"What I said may not even be absolutely correct. Because my understanding of this world is not as good as what you imagine."

"I just have more 'knowledge' about this world than you do. But 'knowledge' is not the truth, you should understand."

Starworm nodded.

Wisdom and knowledge are just icebergs floating on the surface of the sea. The truth is the shadow hidden under the sea.

Gleipnir: "Also, what I said is that after you go out, cooperate with some of my attempts. In fact, it is also helping you see the other side of the world."

"As for whether you can finally see the other side of the world, I'm not sure."

"Let's continue to make three chapters."

"Second, when you go to the outside world, there will be very little help I can give you. You need to be self-reliant."

Starworm: "I understand."

"Third, I am not taking you away without any conditions. I hope you can tell me some knowledge, or in other words, intelligence."

Star Bug was stunned: "What information? If it is information about the Star Sea Train, I have already said everything I can say."

More information is hidden.

"It's not information about the Star Sea Train." Gleipnir said: "Most of what I want to know is your knowledge."

"As I said before, what you hear doesn't represent the truth. You don't have to say it, but I hope you won't deliberately distort and deceive me again."

Starworm thought for a while and guessed that what Gleipnir wanted to know was most likely people and things in various worlds.

Starworm knows a lot of this information. After all, as a conductor on the Star Sea Train, he has indeed witnessed many stories in the world.

If it's just this information, Starworm doesn't mind sharing it.

"Okay." Starworm: "Do you want to ask now?"

Gleipnir shook his head: "No, I will find time to ask you later."

Anyway, no matter where the Starworm goes in the Crystal Plain of Dreams, Angel can locate it. When the time comes, just teleport directly to find him.

Of course, the best way is to let Starworm own the text column, and then give him the temporary manor key card. Then whatever you want to ask can be done in the manor.

However, Gleipnir is not sure whether the Starworm can have a text column, and more attempts are needed.

"Okay, now that we have made an agreement, we can take you out of here now." Gleipnir: "Or do you plan to continue shopping here?"

Starworm looked back at the manor. He was actually a little curious about some of the written creations, but compared to these, he was more curious about the outside world.

Anyway, you can still see written creations outside, and maybe you can also see the "mountain and river" type of written creations that he cares about most. ——He is really curious, what is the written description of the mountains and rivers? In a nutshell, or a detailed description?

Thinking of this, Starworm did not hesitate any longer:

"I'm leaving now."

Gleipnir: "Okay, let's go."

As the words fell, Starworm was wondering how to leave, but found that Gleipnir's body had begun to slowly turn into words and dissipate.

And he himself is slowly turning into words...

It's just that compared to Gleipnir's disappearance speed, he seems to be slower.

Gleipnir has completely disappeared, and even the remaining light of the words has turned into little fireflies.

But for him, only the palms of his hands seemed to have disappeared.

Of course, this kind of disappearance is still spreading, but the speed is really slow. Compared with Gleipnir, it pales into insignificance.

Why is this?

Not only Starworm is asking this question, Angel and Laplace, who are witnessing all this from God's perspective in the manor hall and live broadcasting the hologram, are also asking the same question.

"Under normal circumstances, it takes almost less than a second to completely dissipate." Laplace: "But the situation of the star bug is very different."

"It's more like he's sinking in the mud now, very slow."

"Why is this?" Laplace looked at Angel.

The only one who can possibly answer this question is Angel. If even Angel doesn't know, then this is really an eternal mystery.

Angel did not answer immediately, but carefully observed the changes in the star bug. At the same time, he also looked at the Crystal Plain of Dreams from God's perspective.

Outside the copy of Uriel.

Gleipnir has already come out and is waiting here.

Opposite Gleipnir, a stream of light slowly emerged, and a pair of hands came out of the stream of light.

As for these hands, there was only the outline of the hands, no skin visible, and they were pitch black.

Through these dark hands, you can vaguely see the stars.

Graipnir looked at the "black hand" that was struggling to reach out in surprise. Although these hands had no skin, she guessed the origin of this hand.

It was Starworm's hand.

Before the star bug transformed into a skin, it was just like this. There was only the outline of a human figure, but the outline was all in the dark starry sky, and nothing could be seen.

"So, this is a star worm?!" Gleipnir was suspicious and subconsciously wanted to enter the manor to see the situation.

But before she entered the text space, Angel's voice came to her ears.

"This is a star worm... If nothing unexpected happens, he is being reshaped by the Dream Crystal."

"You don't need to come in, just wait outside. It shouldn't take long for his body to come out."

Hearing Angel's voice transmission, Gleipnir stopped thinking about entering the manor, but the suspicion in her eyes did not dissipate so quickly.

The star worm came out so slowly, it turned out to be reshaping its body? !

"But why did it suddenly reshape its body?" The speaker was Laplace.

Now, two holographic live broadcasts appeared in front of Laplace.

In the live broadcast room on the left, the protagonist is the star worm, and the location is at the entrance of the manor.

In the live broadcast room on the right, the protagonist is still the star worm, but there is an additional supporting role, Gleipnir, and the location is outside the Uriel copy.

In the live broadcast room on the left, the hands of the star worm slowly disappeared; while in the live broadcast room on the right, the hands slowly stretched out, but from white hands, they turned into hands with the outline of the dark starry sky.

According to Angel, the reason why the star worm went out so slowly and returned to its original form when it arrived in the outside world was because it was reshaping its body.

But why is this?

Laplace whispered to himself: "Is your guess just now true? The reason why the star worm can't see the fairyland prompt is because he has never really stepped into the Dream Crystal Origin."

"And now, he finally left the manor and stepped into the Dream Crystal Origin, so he reshaped his body?"

Angel nodded: "It is likely to be the case."

"I can feel that there is a great power in the dark, which has descended outside the Uriel copy and is reshaping the body of the star worm."

This great power is not the power of power, but a power that is higher than the power.

Angel couldn't be sure what it was.

But he knew that this power was spread throughout the Dream Crystal Origin, containing the power of nightmare, dream, and mirror domain. If you have to say it, it is similar to... the basic power that constitutes this world.

Or, the basic operating rules of this world.

In the past, this great power was hidden, and even Angel could only vaguely perceive its existence, but there was no way to further understand its veins.

It was not that Angel did not have the authority, but that he did not have enough knowledge of the world, energy, and laws.

Now, because of the special example of the star worm, the great power hidden in the veins has appeared. Reshape its body to make the star worm more in line with the essence of the Dream Crystal Origin.

In other words, it pushed the star worm to integrate into the world of the Dream Crystal Origin.

This is the truth that "great power" told Angel.

Of course, the great power cannot speak and has no independent consciousness, but when it descended to reshape the body of the star worm, Angel, as the creator of the Dream Crystal Origin, "read" the meaning of the great power.

It was also at this time that Angel knew that his previous guess was correct.

The reason why the star worm could not see the fairyland hint was because he lacked the final step of "integrating into the Dream Crystal Origin".

And when the star worm left the manor and went to the outside world, this final step finally came.
