Chapter 236 Stepping Into the River of Life
The sky is black nothingness, dotted with spots of light, as if there are countless stars circulating, and there seems to be countless mist filling the air.
On the surface of the earth is a river composed of silver light, with no source or end visible. It seems to be born from the light at the source of this world, flowing quietly like a mighty stream of light. This river seems to contain everything in the world, and the whole world is included and reflected in it.
"This is the river of life..."
Before Liuli led them there, Yang Yun and Zhang Jie had thought about the specific situation of the River of Life many times.
To be fair, as members of the Samsara Team, they have experienced many worlds. It can be said that they have seen a certain amount of the world, and they are not the kind of bumpkins from the countryside. But when the two of them really saw this beautiful endless river shining with silver light, they couldn't help but be amazed by it.
The Ganges River in Hindu legends, it is said that every human being is born from it, and every human being dies in it. That is just an exaggeration, but the river of life in front of us turns the exaggeration into reality. False facts.
The River of Life, the Well of Eternity, the Great Soul, the Akashic Records... This long river represents the destination of all things, the reincarnation of the world, and the flow of all things. If you feel the silver water flowing in the river carefully, you will be able to understand clearly in your heart. In fact, every drop of this flowing river water is made up of blank souls and obsessions. It only needs a little refinement to transform it. Make the most pure spiritual energy.
"...I really didn't expect that there is such a place, and it is right under our feet."
Zhang Jie couldn't help but look back at the exit of the elevator. After 10032-2 opened an elevator hidden inside the wall in the core control room, a few people got on and arrived at the bank of this extremely beautiful river of life within a few minutes - —And such an important place is actually so close to everyone.
"It doesn't seem like it's been a long time since we got here. In fact, just now, we have passed through the surface of the world and come to the inside of the world."
A cold female voice said: "I have told you a long time ago that Lungominiad is the anchor of the stars, and at the same time, during these one thousand five hundred and seventy-three years, it has also shouldered the responsibility of It is the responsibility of sealing the planet’s wounds and preventing the source of life from leaking out and losing blood… Look there.”
Zhang Jie looked in the direction pointed by the female voice, and sure enough he could see a huge pillar reaching the sky in the distance of the river of life. When he used his mental power to scan it, he found that it was actually a huge gun head, and he could even see countless runes shining on it. These runes together formed a powerful seal. , preventing the source of life from leaking out.
Zhang Jie nodded at first, but when he saw that it was not Liuli who was speaking, but 10032-2, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said: "Okay, I've learned a lot... But why did you come down with us? Disabled people are still obedient. It’s better to stay in that treatment cabin.”
Because of 10032-2's previous comments on innocent people and her attitude that was too cold and hurtful. So to this day, Zhang Jie still has a grudge against this cold woman who did not fight alongside them, and the words he spoke at this time were also thorny.
However, one cannot blame Zhang Jie for saying that at this time, 10032-2 was only wearing a researcher's white coat, and she was sitting on a bed that did not look big, but was a bit big for her body. Too much, suspended in a high-tech wheelchair in mid-air.
The skin of 10032-2's upper body was as unnaturally pale as snow, while the lower body was shockingly black, infected by sin. And many places behind her are connected to this wheelchair. It looks like the cold woman in front of her has merged with the wheelchair.
It wasn't until she walked out of the treatment cabin that Yang Yun and Zhang Jie suddenly realized the difference between this being who had been in the core control room and Liuli - staying in one place for a long time and the erosion of sin made 10032-2 The body's height has irreversibly shrunk to a certain extent, and this phenomenon is reflected in the soul. And it was with this kind of injury that she persisted for one thousand five hundred and seventy-three years.
"I have my own reasons. I gave up my original plan of self-destructing the holy spear as a last resort. Naturally, it's because I have a better plan."
Regarding Zhang Jie's words, 10032-2 didn't seem to understand the meaning, and seemed not to care. He just replied in a cold tone as always: "And you, just do what you should do."
Hitting a soft nail, Zhang Jie shrugged his shoulders and stopped asking for trouble. Yang Yun, who had been silent since arriving here, stared at the river and suddenly said, "Look there, Zhang Jie, those black things."
——Just like Yang Yun said, foreign matter was mixed into this silver river of life.
It is pitch black, like ink-like sin, like mud mixed into the clear river water, and like stubborn stains that cannot be removed no matter how powerful the detergent is used. Although they are few, they are definitely there. .
"That is the pollution that Ashiya Michimi caused to the river of life."
Liuli spoke, and although her words were equally emotionless, both Yang Yun and Zhang Jie could hear uncontrollable disgust in them: "After Ashiya Michizumi discovered the existence of the River of Life, he not only drained it of The source of life, transforming it into spiritual energy to devour and heal itself, while also cutting off part of its soul origin and integrating it into it."
"Soul-cutting technology... similar to Horcruxes?" Yang Yun glanced at the black figure hanging on the head of Gangnir's gun, still struggling persistently at this moment: "Let me guess, even if we take this thing If he is completely wiped out, as long as the original part of his soul in the river of life still exists, will he be resurrected endlessly?"
"That's right."
Liuli nodded and took Gangnir back from Zhang Jie's hand: "The good news is that since Ashiya Michuman has not mastered the technology of dividing three corpses, the origin of his soul that merged into the river of life does not exist. Those who are self-aware will only react passively and instinctively to the outside world, while constantly supplying their own energy... So what we have to do is lead the snake out of its hole."
"Ling the snake out of its hole?" Zhang Jie asked: "How to do it specifically?"
"First, we need to go directly into the river of life..."
"Go down, you."
Before Liuli finished speaking, 10032-2 behind her took the lance that appeared in her hand at some point and lightly poked Zhang Jie on the butt. No matter how hard she shot, Zhang Jie jumped up like a cat with its tail burned off in a cartoon, and then fell into the river of life, leaving only one unfinished sentence. …
"I'll never stop talking with you bastard..."
"Are you going to do it yourself, or should I help you?"
After stabbing Zhang Jie down with one shot, 10032-2 showed the lance in his hand to Yang Yun with an expressionless face. The meaning was self-explanatory.
"...I'd better do it myself."
Yang Yun wiped away the non-existent cold sweat and took a deep breath——
Then, he stepped into the river of life.
