It is said that the Sleeping Tree grew from spores dropped from the "Floating Island" - the Hell City of Ambril, so this Sleeping Tree is actually one of Ambril's Thester Trees. This sleeping tree was previously planted with golden tree spores by the lord, transforming it into a muse golden tree, and became the patron saint tree of the forest elves in Brittleshank Barrier. The reincarnated golden tree transformed from the golden tree spores planted in the egg of memory, the token of the Argonians when the "Ebonheart Pact" was concluded, has now become the sacred tree of the immunity goddess Peit.
The Mother Tree of Ambril, which is connected to both the Sleeping Tree and the Egg of Memory, has also become one with the Shadow Eclipse Demon Sword. This also means that there is a channel for souls to walk between the Shadow Tree, the Muse Golden Tree and the Reincarnation Golden Tree.
Therefore, this soul passage connecting the Crisp Shan Barrier, the Annihilation Domain of the Immunity Goddess Peyt, and Hell City has obviously become a huge loophole in Lord Jinshu's belief circuit.
Everything is clear now.
Perhaps the Most Beautiful Dark Nayu Villian and the Spider Godmother Vera Sailan are guarding the entrance to the passage where souls walk, sniping away all fallen shadow scales and fallen souls that want to invade the Muse Golden Tree. That's why they haven't returned yet.
"In addition to soul walking, is there any other way to enter Hell City?" Without further ado, the Lord needs to rush to the rescue of Nayu Villian and Vera Seran as soon as possible.
"The only way to reach Hell City is through the tree hole cut open by the Shadow Sword, my Lord Baron." The Demon Dog Babas really knew.
"So, this is actually a 'dream within a dream'." The housekeeper understood.
"That's it, madam." The devil dog Babas nodded flatteringly: "The Holy Land of Evil Men is the first layer of dreams, and Hell City is the second layer of dreams. The 'dream within a dream' formed by the superposition of the inside and outside is also within reach. Real existence."
"This is the 'immortal' quality of the Annihilation Realm." The Lord suddenly thought of the idle threshold scanner in the Twilight Library that could use the lower range to survey all Annihilation Planes.
At that time, the Lord speculated that the correct pronunciation of the demonic language "Infralux Pseudocortex" might be "Infra - Lux" + "Pseudo - Cortex": the literal translation is "Pseudo God Brain" below the (active) brightness of the cortex" and is defined as the lower plane of annihilation.
That is to say. According to Lord Lord's guess that the plane of annihilation is the detached divine cerebral cortex, it is easy to conclude that "authenticity and falsehood" correspond to "right and wrong". "True" = "yes", "false" = "not". So "When the world was in chaos, and even time and space did not exist, there were only two existences at first. One existence was called Anu, which represented 'yes'; the other was called Padome, which represented 'no'."
So in words that mortals can understand: The plane where Annihilation is located is likely to be born from the divine brain of the dead Padome. And based on the activity of the dead Padome's brain (brain death), the demons divide the entire plane of annihilation into different levels.
This is the essential reason why the demons in Annihilation are so different from the races in Nirn in this world. The birth of two completely different divine brains.
To put it simply, if the present world is born from the "Dream of the Godhead" and the plane of annihilation is likely to be the "Dream of the False Godhead".
"My Lord Baron, you are absolutely right." The devil dog Babas cast his dog eyes at the sword box with the magic sword Eclipse sealed in his hand held by the clockwork goddess Anufanahi.
Of course, there is another possibility for the "dream within a dream" phenomenon: the "shadow magic plane".
As we all know, shadow magic is also called "shadow magic". It is an obscure but extremely powerful magic. It is believed that Nightdancer Azra was the first to discover that shadows were not simply the absence of light, but reflections of possible worlds created by two conflicting forces. Shadows can be created by earthly forces, such as the physical shadow created by light striking a rock, or by the spiritual shadow created by more powerful forces, such as a war between two nations.
Shadow magic involves manipulating shadows to influence the forces that make them up. Because the power of shadow magic can backfire on the caster, shadow mages are often questioned. With this, Shadow Magic can even rival the power of The Elder Scrolls itself. Through the manipulation of shadows, one has the potential to change the past, present and future.
Shadows can also be absorbed to enhance the abilities of the caster's mind, although this may have physical and mental side effects, such as the experience of being disconnected from the outside world, distortion of senses, and atrophy of skin. Likewise, shadows can be injected into the body to magically increase a person's strength, speed, or endurance. In both cases, the caster's consciousness fades away as the shadow and shadow mage's consciousnesses merge together. Despite these benefits, there is no doubt that shadow magic can warp and corrupt creatures, turning them into "echoes of right".
The understanding of shadow magic twisting and corrupting creatures, turning them into "right echoes". The lord is very profound.
The essence of "echo" is "reflection". It is a "reflection" of existing rules. Then referring to the essence of the earth bones of "the eight holy spirits are actually the reflections of the corpses of the eight powerful Idras", it may be possible to understand that "dreams within dreams" are actually equivalent to "shadows of shadows". And "echo" is also called "echo". Like all Mundus magic, it has to do with "sound". Just like the sword song of the Redguards, the dragon roar of the Nords.
The only difference is the "awakening" godhead: one is "the 'yes (truth)' represented by Anu", and the other is "the 'non (false)' represented by Padome".
Seeing the lord stopping to look up at the Shadow Tree with great interest, the devil dog Babas couldn't help but urge: "My Lord Baron, have you decided?"
"Of course." The lord's eye of true seeing has already stored the Shadow Tree as a "spiritual memory".
Instructing the clockwork goddess Anufanasi to open the sword box that sealed the magic sword Eclipse, the Lord gently held the hilt of the sword with his harmless left hand.
The devil dog Babas' heart suddenly rose to his throat.
He couldn't imagine what would happen next.
Will the awakened Shadow Erosion Sword set the Lord holding the sword on fire with a "hula" sound? Visibly burned into a human-shaped torch. Or in a short confrontation, the Lord tamed the Shadow Sword in one fell swoop, or even crushed it into pieces.
However, it seems that nothing happened.
The legendary unruly and extremely difficult magic sword was held in the hands of the lord just like that.
"..." The wide-open eyes of the demon dog Babas said it all.
"Many times, if you change the angle, the whole world may be very different." The Lord gently stroked the smooth blade of the sword, and the engraved lines of the secret method began to wander on his fingertips.
I feel the exclusive law that is engraved from the level of rules and given to the Shadow Tree. The Shadow Tree, which is one with it, also echoes each other. I saw the light and shadow covering the Evil Man's Holy Land gradually ripple. Along with the muffled sound of rumbling, two long root veins opened to the left and right, and a huge tree hole appeared in the Shadow Eclipse Tree.
Not surprisingly, within the tree hole is Hell City.
"It actually opened the tree hole by itself!" The devil dog Babas barked viciously.
