Chapter 930: The Original Bell Tower

When he opened his eyes again, Yago returned to the place where light and darkness intertwine.

But at this time, he had a different feeling.

The information captured when he "cognized life" was distorted and chaotic, intertwined and superimposed, making it difficult for him to analyze.

However, now, at this very moment, what he perceives is another scene because the angle of his life form has changed.

Although it is still "interlaced light and dark", Yago at this time can clearly confirm it.

Those "lights" are "silver blood".

Those "darks" are things in the same form of existence as my current dream-like, shadow-like illusory body.

It is time, it is dreams, it is the power of shadows.

"Nest of Time"?

The title of "Bird's Nest" that popped up because of the outline of the image before may be very appropriate.

In his line of sight, the "vacancies" formed by things intertwined with light and dark, the areas that are somewhat similar to bubbles, are extremely obvious.

Just like the area with the pale monastery he had just left.

Here, there are dreams, fragments of broken time intertwined.

Yago vaguely had such a judgment.

Sweeping his gaze around, Yago chose an area with the densest light and shadow and walked over.

As he approached, one after another, strange scenes with overlapping shadows came into his eyes, carrying an indescribable sense of terror.

Although he is not used to it yet, Yago will not choose to back down.

This time, Yago saw another scene.

A different environment than before.

But familiar.

A huge building full of various machines.

Moreover, unlike the chaotic and overlapping environment before, this place looks very regular.

Industrial punk, not Victorian steampunk.

It is similar to the style of Cartesia Xilu, which is closer to the mechanical sense of Soviet-style steampunk.

Yago walked silently in this silent mechanical city.

In his field of vision, those buildings with huge gears and mechanical transmission rods everywhere are forbidden to move, with a strange sense of stagnation.

Time, stopped.

Looking at a huge gear, Yago stopped.

And as his eyes raised, he saw a familiar object.

It was a huge, dark bell tower.

On the top of the bell tower, a huge black bell is hanging in the square bell pavilion.

The bell tower, the bell tower he is all too familiar with.

But, he didn't hear the bell.

However, Yago cared more about another thing.

That is.

In this mechanical city-like area, he can also see the shadow representing "time".

However, all things in this mechanical city, their "shadows", those shadows representing a certain time in the past and future, are exactly the same as their current shadows.

It seems that it is the completed structure from the beginning to the end.

There is no "raw material" past, and no "destroyed" future.

The past, present, and future are all the same.

Logically, this is impossible.

So, how is it done?

Yago glanced at himself again.

His shadow, his "past", "future", or "present" and "future", are not the same as the current Yago, and even he cannot touch them.

There is a way to do it.

But what method?

As Yago changed direction and moved towards the direction of the clock tower, he gradually saw the whole picture of the clock tower——

Mottled and shabby, but with a strong sense of rust.

bronze.

Unlike other buildings, this building is full of patina, making the whole look like bronze.

No, the reason why bronze is called bronze is because of its color after being rusted for a long time.

The close relationship between metal and religion, and primitive religion, is beyond the imagination of many people.

Yago also has a certain understanding of metals. It goes without saying that the color of rusted bronze is not just turquoise. It goes without saying that there are also black rusted parts.

It is not a "wrong judgment" to judge the material of this dark mechanical clock tower as bronze.

In his world, in the previous life, the primitive human beings entered the gathering society with the group form of "the leader leading the group", and there was a slight surplus in productivity. When some individuals left the collection and production, "religion" was officially born.

In that simple and primitive society, the leaders were often the first to break away from work such as production, collection and planting.

Then there are those who are close to the leader, such as subordinates or family members.

However, the knowledge possessed by early humans was not enough to correctly respond to the crisis in nature, so when facing nature, they were confused and fearful.

The attitude towards nature is often based on fear and awe.

The often intimidating form of early religion also has something to do with it.

During this period, after the gradual development of productivity, leaders and related people who do not need to work also have surplus time to accumulate experience and sum up.

It is not a lie that class breeds technology and knowledge.

With surplus time and surplus resources, after the survival needs are met, it is possible to develop various non-survival needs.

If you don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes, will you waste your time on other things?

Yes, yes, there are always some weirdos who will do this.

As a result, those who could not even meet their basic survival needs but wasted resources basically died.

Only a few lucky guys, their wasted directions, are useful to change.

But in any case, the technological contribution of this kind of lower class is smaller than those individuals who are separated from or semi-removed from actual production and have surplus time and resources.

At least, that was the case in early societies.

As for why Yago thinks of these

Because the patterns on the bell tower in front of me are too similar to those totems depicting natural scenes in the primitive society.

Even if it was placed in a primitive tribe, Yago would at best be impressed with how he gathered so much metal and how to smelt it, but would not feel that it was inconsistent with the style of that primitive tribe.

And in the same way, even though the clock tower has a metal texture and a metal structure, in this huge city that reminds him of Soviet-style steampunk, this clock tower also makes him feel inconsistent.

but

Inexplicably, there is another sense of fit.

He scanned the other buildings.

From the layout point of view, the city is probably built with this clock tower as the core.

This conclusion surprised Yago.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a throbbing.

Immediately, above the pitch-black clock tower, the huge pitch-black bell swayed slightly.

Hum——

There was a long rumbling sound.

The bells, as if from a dream, as if from shadows, as if

Came from another time.
