Chapter 1517 New Illusion
The shimmering light from the crystal tip clusters began to flicker regularly, and the crystals scattered all over the seabed resonated like an orchestra. This was a silent resonance. There was no sound under the deep sea, only the sound on the crystals. The wandering lights complement each other in a strange rhythm, as if playing a silent movement. Soon, the rhombus crystal fragments floating between the crystal clusters also joined the flashing process. Arcs of light were excited from one crystal, and then jumped to the other two crystals through the jump of the rhombus crystal fragments - - Countless such jumps were divided into two, two into four, and spread to the entire seabed almost instantly. In the depths of the Red Moon Sea, light surged like a tide!
When the data terminal saw this scene, it immediately shouted loudly through its mental connection with Hao Ren: "Partner! Why did these crystals flash suddenly! Did you do something? Partner... partner?"
Hao Ren didn't respond to the shouts from the data terminal at all. He still stood there motionless with his palms pressed against the crystal. In fact, the moment the burning heat on his palms just came, he briefly lost his focus on the real world. all perceptions.
Because he was pulled into a vision—a new vision.
Thick clouds weighed low on the horizon. The sky was shrouded in chaotic thick clouds, with an iron-grey texture. Countless huge lightnings jumped between the clouds, illuminating the world shrouded in clouds as brightly as day. Occasionally, one or two bolts of lightning broke free from the clouds and struck the surface like golden pythons falling from the clouds, erupting with deafening explosions. And on that dark land, there are blue-white crystals hundreds of meters high standing everywhere. The crystals grow in clusters, like a huge forest with no end as far as the eye can see.
The lightning striking down from the sky is attracted by those huge crystals from time to time. Powerful current is instantly injected into the crystal, causing the latter to burst out with bright brilliance. The light emitted by one crystal will "activate" more surrounding crystals. Clusters, the light spreads as if jumping between crystals, often extending to dozens of crystals before gradually weakening.
Crystal clusters all over the earth, thunder and lightning charging the crystals, and light jumping between the crystals, what Hao Ren saw after opening his eyes was such a spectacular sight.
Even if he couldn't figure out the situation for a while, he could be sure that this was definitely not the scene on the red moon - nor could it be the scene of the Founding Star.
After trying to call his teammates and getting no reply, he vaguely realized what had happened: he seemed to be once again involved in an illusory world related to the goddess of creation.
It's just that what he saw in the vision this time was obviously very different from what he had seen before - this world filled with thunder and strange crystal clusters did not look like the battlefield of the God-killing War, nor did it look like the life of a guardian giant or the eldest son. It was quite a desolate place, and it seemed unsuitable for any kind of carbon-based life to survive. Why would the crystal jungle in the Red Moon Sea bring him to such a place?
Hao Ren checked the status of his shield, then took out the plasma spear and the censor's gun from the portable space, and began to explore the place cautiously.
Based on past experience, any time you fall into this kind of hallucination is inseparable from a major event of the Goddess of Creation. Whether it is the scene of the Goddess launching the seed of origin or the scene of the assassination of the God-killer, the scope of the illusion is limited, and the Creation The goddess of the world is often located at the center of everything, and in the process some kind of mysterious "guidance" will work, allowing Hao Ren to subconsciously go to the core of the scene - so after confirming that this place is an illusion, Hao Ren lets go His hands and feet wandered around the earth following his inner guidance.
He first checked the crystal clusters growing everywhere and confirmed that they were the same thing as the crystals on the seabed of the Red Moon Sea, except that their size was many times larger than the latter. This was probably because the Red Moon was only 1:8 in size. The "model" is the reason why the crystals on the sea floor have also shrunk accordingly.
There is another advantage in this illusion world - it is not a "static" "snapshot" like the Red Moon. Here, everything is in a state of activity: lightning is charging the crystal, the crystals are resonating, and the earth is There is always a rhythmic sound coming from the depths, and in the air you can clearly feel the slight tingling caused by the activation of a certain energy field.
This allowed Hao Ren to more accurately and clearly observe the operation of those crystals, as well as the secrets that the world might hide - it would be great if the data terminal was there, its scanning function would definitely provide more detailed data.
It's a pity that Hao Ren is the only one who can enter the illusion world.
"It seems to be some kind of signal amplification device...it also has a communication function." Hao Ren stood under a crystal with electric light traveling throughout the body. He carefully touched the surface of the crystal with the handle of the plasma spear and observed the interaction between several nearby crystals. Such stimuli produce responses "reminiscent of neural networks..."
"The discharge phenomenon in the sky continues, and there is no obvious trend of strengthening or weakening. The clouds are very thick, and it is completely impossible to observe the starry sky."
"The probe doesn't work and can't fly above the clouds. It's probably because the range in the illusion is limited. The top of the clouds is the boundary of this space..."
While Hao Ren was exploring the world, he recorded his findings. Although the absence of the data terminal caused him a lot of trouble, having these first-hand observation data will always come in handy in the future: this is something he has experienced more than once. The experience accumulated after entering the world of illusion.
He didn't wander around the crystal jungle for too long. After following his intuition and heading in a certain direction for about two hours, he came to a "barrier" filled with black mist. There was no way forward.
Thick black mist surged in front. The wall formed by the black mist reached up to the sky, connected to the earth below, and extended to both sides to the end of the infinite field of vision. It was as if the entire world had been cut out by this layer of black mist. After seeing this boundary, Hao Ren was stunned: this was the first time he had seen such a situation.
He came to the border of the illusion world, but he did not see the most important thing in this scene...the goddess of creation.
The goddess of creation is not here? Wasn't this illusion left by the goddess? What does this world mean? Those lightnings jumping in the sky, the crystals shining on the earth, and the mysterious connection between this world and the red moon...could the clues end here?
Hao Ren shook his head and instinctively felt that this inexplicable illusion was not that simple. There was a close relationship between this "crystal world" filled with lightning and strange energy and the red moon. It couldn't be just such a simple scene.
He took another step forward and thrust his hand into the chaotic black mist.
At the same moment, in the real world outside, the red moon suddenly glowed several times brighter than before.
The moonlight was strong, and the entire sky was filled with a faint red color, so that all the visible stars in the space were covered by the moonlight. Then the red color in the moonlight gradually faded and turned into a clear normal light, but its brightness But it is increasing instead of decreasing. The people who stayed on the surface of Airem looked up in shock at this strange scene. They saw that the sky seemed to have turned into a huge projection platform, and the red moon was the source of the projection. Around the bright moon, the original starry sky was replaced by a star map with various icons and pointing symbols. The star map was full of strange and unknown galaxies. Complex lines connected the galaxies, and a bright band of light jumped between the stars. It seems to indicate a hidden route, but this star map seems incomplete. It is filled with darkness, many data have been replaced by garbled codes, and even the light strip indicating the route is intermittent. , and presents a completely unrecognizable state of chaotic nothingness at the end.
Lily immediately raised her giant alloy X9 sword and looked at Vivian, but she saw the latter looking up at the sky with a confused expression. Vivian noticed Lily's gaze and quickly turned around. He turned over and waved his hand: "Don't take pictures yet, I'm awake here! And I've seen this star map before, it's harmless... but why did it appear suddenly?"
Nangong Sanba immediately shouted to the communication device floating next to the summoning circle: "What happened on the red moon?"
What answered him was the data terminal: "Hao Ren came into contact with the crystal on the seabed of the Red Moon Sea, and seemed to be sucked in by the illusion again. This machine is monitoring his status. He is in good health now, but I don't know if his sanity will be improved." question……"
Hearing that Hao Ren was not injured, Vivian was relieved at first: contact with the illusion is not scary. After all, this is not the first time Hao Ren has come into contact with that thing, but this time the movement... why is it so big?
The black mist shook violently in front of his eyes, as if he was on the verge of collapse due to great stimulation. Hao Ren wanted to pull his hand back, but the situation developed faster than he could: the next second, the mist had swallowed him up, and when he finally emerged from the mist When he broke free, he found that he had entered an indoor space.
This is an extremely grand domed hall, comparable in scale to the goddess palace he saw on the Founding Star, but the style is very different - strictly speaking, this is because the entire hall has not been carefully carved and decorated, so It looks primitive and rough.
The entire domed hall looks like it was carved out of the mountain. The walls and floors are made of poorly carved rocks. The high dome is inlaid with large chunks of crystal: the material of the crystal looks similar to that of Hao Ren on the plain. The crystal clusters you saw were exactly the same.
In the center of the Crystal Hall, there is an unprecedentedly huge crystal cluster: it is almost like a hill, not far behind the crystal peaks in the Crystal Core Research Station. The top of the blue-white crystal cluster and the dome are tens of meters apart. In the distance, thick electric arcs jumped silently between the crystal clusters and the dome, as if they contained huge energy.
Under the huge crystal cluster, Hao Ren saw the crystals twisting and growing abnormally. They were entangled together, forming a shape like a throne.
A vague figure stood in front of the throne, and it could be vaguely seen from the back that it was a woman.
The goddess of creation?
Hao Ren ran over quickly, but even when he arrived, he still found that it was impossible to see the woman's face clearly.
He could only see this figure suddenly taking steps and slowly walking towards the crystal throne.
The illusory world shook violently, and a feeling that he was about to wake up from a big dream spread from Hao Ren's heart.
He desperately wanted to grab something, but he was completely unable to prevent the collapse of this dream. In his increasingly skewed and distorted vision, he could only see the vague figure slowly sitting on the throne, and then the crystal fell from the earth. It grew out, sealed her and the throne, and froze her.
The illusion was over. Hao Ren opened his eyes and saw that the crystal prism in front of him was gradually dimming again.
