Uplifting Journey

A one-meter-long black dragon with pitch-black scales tore the flexible afterbirth and struggled out of the egg of flesh and blood condensed from the body of the King of the Poison Swamp.

The vertical pupils protected by several layers of membranes with different functions blinked, and the black young dragon turned his head and looked around in confusion, and then was startled by a crimson unicorn dragon head on its head.

The red dragon moved its neck and retracted its head, staring at Angel, whose consciousness was still a little confused, and said thoughtfully: "...It's a success, the body of the dragon clan and the consciousness soul of the human being and the real name are not at all unstable and out of touch."

Although it is a black dragon larva, Angor's body contains the complete power of the King of the Poison Swamp. As long as his will is stable and gradually adapts, he can quickly dig it out, and it will not be difficult to change back to a human form when the time comes, after all. Ability has been implanted in his instinct.

After looking at the juvenile black dragon that came out of the egg, Cheng Bin recalled the relevant data of the elf larvae he met in the elf plane, who were born with dragon wings, and compared the observation data of Angel's transformation experiment with it. for a moment.

The existence of dragon wing elf larvae is evidence that the real name contains potential information and reversely interferes with the soul and bloodline, which means that the race of life does not depend entirely on its genetic bloodline.

Combined with the fact that Angel, a human being whose real name is perfectly connected to the body and soul of the Dragon Clan, Cheng Bin has explored some rules and interfaces at the level of real names, and has a vague guess about the increasingly scattered situation of the Dragon Clan.

"A long time ago, I regarded the incarnation of the Zerg brood to hatch the dragon army as a killer weapon, but judging from the dragon clan created by the dragon god Io, which is said to be united in the early days but is now scattered, this kind of large-scale violence may exist. high risk”

Let Lacey, who received the explanation document of the black dragon transformation experiment from Faith Connection, explain the current situation to the shocked Angel, while Cheng Bin himself fell into deep thought.

"True names existed earlier than life, and gods have the ability to create direct races, but they cannot fully control the mechanism of granting life's real names, so it is impossible to control large-scale direct races absolutely, which causes a series of problems.

"In this case, it would be very risky to directly create a large number of high-level direct races, or self-cloning to stack the faith base. I don't have the power of quantum incarnation to anchor the result.

"Without experiencing the chaotic choice of the mystery of the womb, the unnatural and spawned life will produce various changes under the induction of the real name. As far as the cornerstone of belief is concerned, it is too unreliable, but only control the seeds at the beginning Let it be baptized into a natural race by reincarnation, and the goal of the original design has become completely different.

"Unless most of the intelligent life in the world is killed, leaving only one mainstream race and maintaining its number and form for a long time, then the information hidden in the real name will gradually be washed and replaced with this race.

"If you want to become a god, you have to test and verify these conjectures first. It's time to talk to a god."

Cheng Bin, who made up his mind, glanced at Lacey, and after confirming that Angel had embarked on the right path under Lacey's guidance and had grown to a youth with the ability to protect himself, he helped her trigger the chemical transformation. Instinctively, after adapting to the human form, he threw Lacey's paw on his back, and flew towards the sky with a shake of his wings.

As an experimental product of the legendary species experiment, Angor, wearing a black robe transformed from dragon scales, stood barefoot on the sunken ground, looking up at the red dragon with complicated eyes.

He didn't look back until his figure gradually shrunk and pierced through the clouds.

Glancing at the city in the distance, and then looking down at his hands, Angel said with a dreamy look on his face, "Is this the end?"

There is no plundering of wealth, no wanton slaughter, and no desire to destroy the order of human cities.

As a chaotic and evil dragon that takes pleasure in burning and destroying, the performance of that red dragon simply subverted Angel's previous common sense.

"...In short, it's lucky that the result is good."

With the excellent eyesight of the giant dragon, Angel could clearly see the expressions of the relieved humans on the top of the city after seeing the disappearance of the red dragon. He put down his hands and recalled his past experience, sighed and chuckled stand up.

Although he was suffering for a while, the experiment gave him the power to protect and change something as the red dragon said.

"However, the dragon's minions and breath are far from real power."

Recalling the unusually clear records and related knowledge of black dragon transformation experiments that were engraved in the body and mind by the red dragon's words and pain, and with clear cause and effect, Angel walked towards the city and said to himself:

"Knowledge is power, and it's true power that can be pursued by everyone like me, and I'm going to be a mage.

"Wisdom and Truth, Contradictory Faith Lord Kasa"

In the cold wind at high altitude, Lacey, whose hair was pulled back and danced wildly, patted the red dragon's scales vigorously, and shouted to the subsonic flying red dragon: "Lord Kasa, where are we going?" ? Why not send it directly?"

The red dragon, which was scanning the land of the plane with its highly expanded perception, slowed down its flying speed. He turned his neck and looked at Lacey, who was holding his hair, then turned back to the dragon head and said casually: "I will first follow the information provided by Angel. Check the news to confirm which gods' temples are on this plane.

"If the ideal contact target in the plan is not in this plane, we can only talk to an old friend first."

Lacey, who was casually communicating with the demigod dragon she believed in, had completely lost her fear of the gods. She asked curiously, "Old friend? Since when did you know the gods in this world?"

The red dragon whose eyes swept across the ground said: "Old friend, you are also very familiar with it. It is the source of my initial divinity, that dwarf blacksmith. Judging from the results, he still has a little bit of goodwill."

Moreover, the other party seemed to have a special understanding of his identity as an outsider, so he must know a lot of useful information.

Although the other party refused to answer the phone when he tried to call the name of God.

"Blacksmith? The God of Forging and Furnace?" Lacey paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "Which god is the ideal contact target?"

"You should be able to guess this, right?" Red Dragon smiled, "Dior's travel records have vaguely mentioned that there are churches of the God of Knowledge in some planes of this world. Of course, that is a very important thing for me. Ideal priority contact target."

After he finished speaking, the red dragon paused, his flying body completely stopped in mid-air, he suspended and sighed: "But Angel and the others have never heard of the existence of this god, and I have not been in this position after flying around. It seems that the temple of the God of Knowledge is in another plane."

"So, my lord, you are going to find the God of Forging and Furnace now?" Lacey straightened her long hair that was blown by the wind, and asked a little cautiously, "There won't be conflicts, right? I'm worried about the battle at the level of the gods. It will drag you down, my lord."

"It's okay," the red dragon said indifferently, "After beating the demigod vampire, I have a good idea of ​​the power that the gods can exert on the material level, let's talk"

After being silent for a while, the red dragon didn't say the next thing.

——Besides, I, who do not have high-dimensional senses, naturally do not have the three views and positions of the master consciousness of the quantum incarnation group, which overlooks the changes in the world line from a high position.

Looking back at the elf on his back who was curious but didn't ask, the red dragon silently thought - as long as he abandons the concerns of being noticed by the Lord of Infinity, and directly uses high-dimensional interference force to smash the field, the information-level world is not something he can't keep people.

The pursuit of the traces of the Lord of Infinity is a long confrontation at the high-dimensional level, which cannot be completely determined by the red dragon within a point on a world line in his information virtual world, and there is no need to distort it because of concerns outside the scope of vision and ability own will.

It doesn’t matter how far you can see. Different visions have different choices. No matter how the information input and output change, as long as the core algorithm of the soul remains unchanged—just like in the arena of the Outland II world in the information virtual world, the past I feel the same way about my future self.

As for whether his current mentality and choice are correct or not, Red Dragon believes that the group of quantum avatars overlooking the world behind him must have deep control, and there is no possibility of tossing himself.

After sighing silently, the red dragon snorted and said to Lacey: "Anyway, I can keep you, the only believer."

The elf on the dragon's back tilted his head uncomfortably when he heard the words, and then he laughed twice.

In the high dimension outside the world, in the cluster of quantum avatars whose scale has been enlarged by an unknown number of times, Cheng Bin's main consciousness looks thoughtfully at the illusory world line where the red dragon is, which is constantly twisting and changing like a python.

The virtual world of information extracted from the Red Dragon Casa as the base point, after he puts in the special soul seed for the first time, in theory, the world line will change into another fixed appearance, and he can directly observe the red dragon in the time axis. The final look of the downstream.

After launching the red dragon anchor at the beginning, he did collect a lot of useful information on the timeline of the influence of the red dragon. Abnormal disturbances began to appear gradually.

The current world line presents a constantly distorted and changing appearance, which shows that the controller of the real world line behind the information virtual world, the high-dimensional life "world tree" whose low-dimensional section was stolen by the Lord of Infinity, has already Sensing the invasion of the red dragon, he began to deal with it.

This kind of contact through the low-dimensional world is originally a way for high-dimensional beings to maintain a distance and communicate safely. Cheng Bin was not too surprised by the changing world line. What he was interested in was the countermeasures of the other party. Through these he You can judge the information that the other party wants to express, just like the other party knows part of his information through the red dragon.

However, Cheng Bin was a little surprised at where World Tree started and how it changed the world line—the other party actually interfered with Red Dragon directly through his real name.

Although the movement of hands and feet is not big, it is very natural. For the red dragon itself, the interference does not seem to have any malicious intentions, but

"This is too blunt. Although the technique is too rough to be an attack, there is a certain probability that this kind of behavior will anger some high-dimensional life forms? Does he see that I am behind the red dragon and don't care about such things?"

Looking at the red dragon on a certain section of the world line who made more biased choices due to slightly enhanced independence at the level of self-awareness, Cheng Bin was quite surprised by the reaction of the world tree-this approach, in a deeper sense, is It is almost the same as what the Lord of Infinity did after digging people to create reincarnation.

From Dr. Cheng's mouth, Cheng Bin knew how the Lord of Infinity used various methods to guide the reincarnation and the God Eater to develop in the direction he expected. The reincarnated person's own likes and dislikes.

Therefore, people who perform tasks that conform to their own three views in continuous reincarnation often undergo a complete change in consciousness unconsciously and naturally. Although the interference of the world tree on the consciousness of the red dragon is more slight, the essence is the same.

If it weren't for World Tree not trying to isolate Red Dragon and Cheng Bin, but making all interference open and frank, he almost thought that the other party wanted to learn from the Lord of Infinity to do things.

Although the red dragon can be brought back on track in a moment of thought, after all, this is a natural change possibility of the red dragon's own consciousness. Cheng Bin has no special opinion on this, as long as the core algorithm does not deviate from the ultimate pursuit, He will not distort the low-dimensional individuals related to himself at will.

After shaking his head secretly, Cheng Bin smiled in his heart: "Even the low-dimensional parallel individuals, I try to maintain independence as much as possible and distribute the knowledge seeker system to encourage them to go on the journey of ascending dimensions. What's the point of having a red dragon with a little more self-awareness?" the difference?

"However, judging from the interference method, the other party seems to be an existence with high-dimensional interference power, but the perspective and sense are more inclined to low-dimensional existence. If the actual world line over there is highly convergent and unique, then the other party is also a pseudo-high-dimensional being. ?”

The definition of pseudo-high-dimensional life has been refreshed and upgraded several times in Cheng Bin's heart. Now he is more inclined to be like the system, which puts all authority above consciousness, and the purpose of converging the world line is to increase power rather than practice the road. Magic is called pseudo-high-dimensional life.

However, if this definition standard card is too strict, except for the supreme saint whose consciousness penetrates all dimensions of the quantum foam and exists in the root of the universe, all high-dimensional gods and demons can be regarded as pseudo-high-dimensional beings, Cheng Bin himself and the system are no exception , so it can't be too serious.

In the indirect contact through the red dragon, Cheng Bin, who gradually recognized the power operation form of the world tree, finely adjusted himself and the system's power to support the virtual world of information, so that the turbulent and changing world lines interfered and canceled each other out. Gradually gain a new balance in the situation.

But in the world line where the range of fluctuations is gradually shrinking, there are always some places that cannot be truly stabilized, and Cheng Bin's eyes did not go deep into those places——

It is the realization of the nails buried in the world line of the world tree inner domain by other high-dimensional beings in the virtual world of information. Digging these things deeply in high dimensions is more and more like digging deep in his own inner domain. Like the psionic energy of the Inner Six world of StarCraft, who might be touched or what unexpected changes might be caused.

It is enough to change the development of the world line, let the low-dimensional red dragon contact the information silhouettes of those nails by itself, and obtain some superficial information.

"However, apart from the familiar Dragon God, the information of Mukuro who simulated the Naruto world is also present in the world tree. I remembered the history and genes of Mukuro's plant civilization at the beginning. It seems that Mukui also had it before death. A considerable degree of power, but I don’t know why the World Tree touched Mukuro, is it because of the tree shape?”

Cheng Bin, who was doing a variety of complicated tasks at the same time, withdrew a little attention from the Red Dragon, and continued to ponder various problems in the dimension higher than the world——

Resist the Lord of Infinity's erosion of the system's inner domain, and the system's souls in the information virtual world, guide the growth of many low-dimensional parallel individuals, control the proliferation and optimization of quantum avatar clusters, deduce high-dimensional soul models and prepare for dimension-raising experiments.

Before locating the Lord of Infinity through the Red Dragon, he still has a lot of things to do at hand.

The city built on the flames and lava is full of dull metallic colors, and the huge gears that can be seen everywhere are slowly turning, showing the unique and unique architectural aesthetics of the dwarves.

In the slightly hot sunlight, two sharp-eared elves, who are extremely handsome in terms of human aesthetics, walked to the towering gate of this metal city under the curious eyes that turned around frequently.

Cheng Bin, the red dragon in the shape of a silver-haired elf, tilted his head to look at the short and sturdy figures stationed in front of the thick city gate, except for their faces and covered with thick magic armor, and then looked at the various races entering the city in front of him. people.

It is also a city-state, this dwarven city far surpasses the one on Angor's side in terms of technology, military strength and bustle, but because the aesthetics of dwarves, which account for the vast majority, are quite different from those of human elves, they restrain their breath. Lacey is not as difficult to walk as in a human city.

After releasing a bit of magic power at will, imitating the information he observed before, he squeezed out a handful of substances that should be coins and handed them to the dwarf by the door. Cheng Bin led Lacey slowly through the more than ten-meter-long door opening.

As soon as he stepped into the city, a faint roar came from the far right. Cheng Bin turned his head and looked at the faint white mist and flames over there. The dwarf who turned around couldn't help but shook his head and sighed softly:

"I should have thought about it a long time ago. The elves in this world have a problem with the painting style and have become genderless creatures. How can the dwarves be as expected? The dwarves here feel more like a combination of dwarves and goblins in Western Fantasy. .”

The perception developed on the basis of the demigod is enough for him to see the elemental reaction in the deepest part of the city at a glance. The dwarf city built on the crater uses the elemental nodes of the volcanic veins to create a steady stream of magic power, and then uses flames and steam as the The medium transforms it into various mechanical energy, driving the operation of this huge city.

This city, which is stacked with layers of exquisite mechanical devices, is almost like a breathing mechanical life.

Lacey, who has always lived in a plane surrounded by plants and has never seen this unique metal mechanical style, was very excited. She patted Cheng Bin on the shoulder and asked for a bunch of handmade change from him, and then took Ai Wei, who was also inquisitive with the materialization, jumped out to explore in a hurry.

Looking at the excited backs of his believers, Cheng Bin shook his head, and then turned his attention to the tallest building in the city——

On the square of the Temple of the God of Forge and Furnace, a huge dwarf statue with a hammer handle is majestically overlooking the city.

Well, I’ve made up 100,000 words for this month. Luckily, there are still a lot of messy things besides the rest and vacation after abandoning full attendance as I said.

Guys, remember to turn off the power when using heating tools in winter. The small electric heating carpet under my computer desk burned for a long time because I forgot to turn off the power. One night, the room was full of smoke.

Fortunately, there is a short-circuit tripping function, and the humidity is heavy, otherwise it would be more than just a little bit of the table and curtains. Lesson learned.

There are also a lot of other chores. By the way, I am not an artist, why do you always call me P pictures. PS skills have to be forgotten every time, and the difficult ones have to be learned and used. A picture, and it also avoids the most difficult places where the pixels are mixed, it's really painful
