"What did you say? Let me open up a sea of consciousness and let you fight in it?"
"Yes, this can block the pain, I think it will work well."
Li Yi smiled.
It's not that he is really afraid of pain, but for other reasons.
But for some reason, the other party actually agreed.
"There is no problem in establishing a sea of consciousness that can be used to fight with pure consciousness, but have you thought about the consequences?"
Xiao Jin didn't say anything, he just mentioned his opinion.
"What consequences?"
"Don't forget, you originally traveled to the game world with your consciousness. If you travel again in the game, the original owner of this body, that is, the player body of this game world, will die directly! "
"Why?"
Li Yi was puzzled.
He left. Shouldn't the original owner of this body come back to life?
"Have you forgotten? This is not like any other place. You have the ability given by the system to adapt to it, but once the consciousness leaves the body, the body cannot hold it. This is the core area of the test site!"
"You mean..."
Li Yi suddenly realized that he seemed to have heard what the guards along the way had been saying.
It's just that I was walking too fast and didn't pay attention.
So, this is actually a highly polluted area?
Damn it!
When Xiao Jin showed him his current pollution level, Li Yi jumped.
The pollution degree is 99%!
99% exploration rate!
Both are close to full!
No wonder Xiao Jin said that after defeating these three guardians, he can directly meet the guardian boss.
But the pollution level is 99%, where is it reflected?
With this question, Li Yi remembered it after asking for a while.
Afraid of pain!
He seems to have never been so afraid of pain!
Especially in the time and space that consciousness travels through, rather than the body travels through.
It seems clear that it is not his own body. Even if he is injured, his feelings are very slow. However, in this game world.
He actually felt the pain he had not seen for a long time!
What does this mean?
This shows that it’s not just the body that hurts.
But consciousness!
It's the soul!
"Is it because of the pollution debuff?"
Li Yi thought of this and asked.
He actually already had the answer, but he still wanted to confirm it.
Sure enough, Xiao Jin gave an answer that he was not willing to accept.
"Of course, this place is very strange. I have never seen an environment where the pollution level can increase so much in an instant. You know, there is almost no radiation concentration there just one door away. God knows which door What is the trick on the door that can isolate such a heavy concentration of pollution?"
Xiao Jin said very seriously.
"So you're saying it's better not to?"
Li Yi understood what Xiao Jin meant.
The concentration of pollution would damage even consciousness. If he were to be removed again, even if he could defeat these three people, he would still lose.
This body is dead, how can I see any clear boss?
He was immediately defeated!
No wonder!
No wonder this guy agreed so readily... No!
There seems to be something else?
Xiao Jin saw Li Yi's suspicious eyes and took the initiative.
"Yes, you have thought of it? If I guessed correctly, this great protector should be one of the existences like me hidden in this world. Do you still remember before we came?"
Without waiting for Li Yi to answer, Xiao Jin continued.
"Since the establishment of the framework of this open world, many ancient remnant souls have been coveting you. First of all, I want to make it clear that it is not that I am a lone eater, but what is different from pretending to be a system is that these people only think Devouring the host's mental power without giving the host any benefits."
"They are just a bunch of parasites who only want to suck blood and won't give anything!"
Xiaojin reminded in a hoarse voice.
"Okay, no need to say more, let's fight like this!"
Li Yi interrupted Xiao Jin who suddenly became excited for some reason, glanced at him, and smiled faintly.
"Actually, I'm not sure either, so isn't this asking you?"
"so?"
"so!"
"Just leave it like that!"
"I still don't believe it. If compared to my spiritual power, would I be inferior to such an ancient remnant soul that came out of nowhere?"
Li Yi suddenly turned to look at Xiao Jin. This move shocked not only Xiao Jin, but also the Great Protector who had been staring at him.
Don't know what he is thinking.
In fact, their guess was absolutely correct.
The true identity of this great protector is indeed, as Xiao Jin guessed, a creature left over from the early days of the universe.
Or maybe it shouldn't be called a creature.
It should be more appropriately called one of all things.
After Xiao Jin used the neural network system to build such an open world game (in fact, many plots that can invade reality through virtual reality are the hidden self that slowly grows in the game, and finally reveals itself after gathering enough power. The scenes of the real body are all created by these beings hidden in the game center).
These "all things" were like bed bugs that smelled the fishy smell, trying their best to get in one after another.
And because Xiaojintu’s convenient approach leaves it completely to the system itself, it also allows these creatures who are familiar with the virtual game world to find the way at once.
They got in almost without any hindrance, and it was as familiar as going home.
Due to the lack of entity for a long time, all creatures have become accustomed to changing their images and identities at will.
After all, in their minds, it's no big deal.
As long as they can get the opportunity to nourish themselves and become stronger, they don't care at all about what they look like.
Anyway, when the time comes, they can become whatever they want.
The frustration now is just for the sake of better life in the future.
And the Great Protector, an ancient remnant soul with no idea of his true identity, had indeed found an excellent opportunity to come into direct contact with that human being.
When he threw the pile of broken data aside and jumped in to act as the container itself, the "Great Protector" was ecstatic.
He understands that as long as he can be in the conscious world (these ancient remnant souls don’t know what a game is, they just think it is an open world of consciousness, and most ancient remnant souls think that they are invincible in the conscious world) , he would have the opportunity to defeat this human being, imprison his multiple consciousnesses, and then take those precious multiple brains and bodies as his own.
At that time, there will be a steady stream of spiritual power to continuously nourish one's soul.
After the Deng Guo spirit gradually becomes powerful enough to be able to create a suitable body on its own, he will discard the human body.
Doesn't it sound a lot like seizing a body?
Yes, in fact, this method of imprisoning the original owner of the dove and occupying the magpie's nest is one of the survival instincts of these ancient remnant souls.
You must know that there was no reproduction and development in the universe in ancient times.
All things survive by devouring other creatures to strengthen themselves.
It was an era that truly followed the laws of the dark forest.
It was a world where speaking out meant being attacked by a group of people.
It is precisely because I have seen too many lessons that have been swallowed clean by accident.
As a result, it is really difficult to find traces of these ancient remnant souls.
They are so good at hiding!
It can be said that if it were not for active exposure or a host like Li Yi, there would be no way of knowing whether what is happening is the design of the game itself or the work of the ancient remnant souls who occupied the magpie's nest.
As for this ancient remnant soul that occupies the position of the NPC's great protector, let's call it Zou for the time being.
As for why he called it this, Xiao Jin just said that it was his feeling without any reason, so Li Yi followed him.
"You said this guy agreed because his body is very strong? How strong can it be?"
After hearing Xiaojin's suggestion, Li Yi readily accepted it, but he still had to ask what should be asked.
You have to let me know the reason for giving up doing this, right?
You just say that the other party is very strong, how should I respond?
After a rare moment of thought, Xiao Jin said something.
"Have you ever heard of the Aether?"
"Are you saying that in addition to matter with mass, there is another...space in the cosmic clock that cannot be observed, detected, or known?"
"...Well, this explanation is a bit complicated and there are many ways to explain it, but in short, you just need to know what it means."
"What does this have to do with it?"
"……Um!"
Xiaojin nodded vigorously.
"To be precise, this falcon itself is a special creature living in the etheric space!"
