From the end of the world

Chapter 253 Rumination
With Ma Zao's help, we successfully logged out of the Doomsday Dream, and the Great Impermanence seemed to have disappeared in front of us. However, the battle should not end so easily, and Ma Zao must have known this, but she relaxed for some reason.

Then, she observed my body very carefully and asked worriedly: “Zhuang Cheng, your injury…”

My soul was severely damaged in front of her, more than two-thirds of it was destroyed. Although she knew that I had the power to repair my soul and saw that I was safe and sound, it was still impossible not to worry about it. I also had some doubts about my condition. The blow from the Great Impermanence might have special properties beyond imagination. So I followed and observed myself.

Fortunately, there seemed to be no sequelae, and my soul healed itself to a perfect state in the blink of an eye. Just like the monsters in some comics who have achieved immortality with super regeneration ability, it seems that as long as there is a little soul left, I can recover from even the most serious injuries.

In a sense, the blow that the Great Impermanence dealt to me was of no use at all.

However, such a blow would not even be considered an ordinary attack in the eyes of the opponent. If he wanted to, it would be easy for him to destroy my soul completely with one blow. So it can be said that I was lucky to have saved my life.

That is the great impermanence...

I told Ma Zao that I had fully recovered, and she gave me an expression that said, "I can understand every word you said, but I can't understand you when you put them together."

"Compared to this...what does 'safe' mean? The Great Uncertainty can no longer interfere with your soul?" I asked.

Ma Zao nodded at first, then explained to me.

Her behavior of using the power of return to take me out of her own spiritual world just now is like "a person trying to escape from his own body", which is illogical. But the soul originally has no inside or outside, size, or shape, and does not follow the common sense of the world. Even if it was her dream, it did not prevent her from escaping from her dream - but this time she was able to escape not because of this reason.

"I gave up on pursuing that dream at first, but the unpredictable chose to continue with it. From that moment on, it was no longer my dream, but his dream," she said.

There are many ways to continue a dream, and the Great Impermanence used the most brutal method, which was to forcibly snatch the dream. That kind of thing was originally impossible to do, but the Great Impermanence relied on his powerful power that was enough to distort the common sense of the world and unreasonably achieved it.

Perhaps this is similar to what I did before. In the past, I could distort the settings of an independent reality space with my own cognition, and Da Wuchang could also forcibly tamper with the settings of dreams with his own spiritual power. However, he could even tamper with such a core setting. Rather than being an uninvited guest who hacked into the dream, it is better to say that he is a god in the dream.

On this basis, he also locked Ma Zao with the idea of ​​"not allowing him to escape", making it impossible for him to log out of the dream with the power of return. As the master of the dream, Ma Zao was imprisoned in his own dream.

And all of this was slightly shaken the moment he discovered the specific scene of his dream.

Although I don't know why, he seemed to be quite shocked by the scene of the doomsday dream, and was hit by my attack unexpectedly. There was an imperceptible gap in his mind lock. Ma Zao seized this great opportunity and took me away in a split second.

I can only say that Ma Zao is indeed a super survivor who has successfully escaped from the hands of the devil and survived in the doomsday era at the difficulty of hell. She actually caught such a short gap. You have to know that it is the consciousness of the Great Impermanence. Even if there is a gap in it, not everyone can catch it.

At least I myself didn't realize the existence of that gap, and ordinary Great Perfection Ranks probably couldn't do that. In my opinion, even when he was shaken and shocked over there, his attention was always highly concentrated on us.

Because the Doomsday Dream was already his dream, it was no longer Ma Zao's spiritual world, so it didn't matter if Ma Zao escaped from there. It was a blessing in disguise. In addition, because she, the "material provider", was gone, the Doomsday Dream would either disappear or be repainted by the spirit of the Great Impermanence, turning it into a completely different scene.

"Ma Zao, you probably can't use your full strength right now, but you can already defeat enemies at the level of Master, and even escape from the hands of the Great Impermanence... So how strong were you in your prime? Was it at the Great Master level?" I was curious. "Great Master level..." Ma Zao thought for a while, "I don't know if it counts... But if it's an opponent at the level of Shen Qiang and Chen Long, it's not impossible for me in the past to give it a try."

As she spoke, she looked down at the sharpshooter's head on her knees and said regretfully, "It seems that we can't investigate this head anymore. Otherwise, the Great Impermanence will come to kill us again before we can find out the information."

She picked up the spearman's skull and threw it aside. The skull disappeared in the air. It was probably teleported somewhere by her using the power of return.

Even if we stop investigating the head of the Sharpshooter, there is no guarantee that the Great Impermanence will not come again. After the previous confrontation (perhaps calling it a 'confrontation' is a bit of an exaggeration), our coordinate information in the real world may have been exposed to the other party.

So, should we escape from Fufeng Base immediately?
This Fufeng base should have made many secret preparations to hide us, including a large number of anti-divination and anti-detection barriers. Although my "fireflies" can move freely inside, the signal will become very poor if they run outside. Conversely, if I stay outside, it should be difficult to contact the "fireflies" inside. If even here becomes unsafe, running outside will only be more unsafe. As long as the other party is determined, they can lock on to us in a blink of an eye. Escaping seems to be the worst option.

On the other hand, I don't think that the Great Impermanence will be hindered by the anti-divination and anti-detection methods of a mere branch base. What really prevents the enemy from attacking us is probably the off-site factors - the influence of Fa Zheng who is active outside. The only one who can stop the Great Impermanence is another Great Impermanence. In this case, it doesn't really matter whether we are inside the Fufeng base or not. Considering that this is Fa Zheng's territory, it is better to stay here and wait for Fa Zheng to arrive.

For Da Wuchang, the distance in space cannot be used as a criterion for judging whether they can take action. Since the hostile Da Wuchang did not chase us relentlessly at the first time, it means that he will not pose a threat to us again in a short time.

I also slightly relaxed the strings in my consciousness, while ruminating on the feelings of my previous confrontation with the Great Impermanence.

This fight was not meaningless, at least it helped me measure the gap between me and the enemy. It also taught me a lesson and refreshed my inherent impression of combat.

In the past, my enemies would at most rely on the special strength to make me suffer, but this time, I was actually overwhelmed by the enemy's pure strength. This was the first time for me.

Those enemies who escaped from my hands in the past with their special abilities might have the same feeling as I do now.

I don't know if I'll be able to compete with that Great Impermanence after all my powers are released.

Although the Great Impermanence remotely projected his power into the Doomsday Dream from an unknown place, which was equivalent to the so-called "incarnation coming", I had a head-on collision with his power, so even if I didn't directly touch his body, I more or less grasped his "size". And since I didn't immediately have a premonition of "unmatched" when I delved into this issue, it means that after being fully liberated, I can still form a comparative relationship with the enemy. In other words, we are on the same level.

If we continue to fight like we did just now, in ten seconds at most, the crisis pressure caused by the enemy will completely release me, but just now we only fought for less than half a second. Although I can't say that I don't have regrets, Ma Zao was still beside me just now. Moreover, according to the difference in our level, I estimate that he will kill me completely in the next second. No matter how great the potential is, if it is destroyed before it can be released, it is equivalent to zero.

Maybe I need to think of other ways to accelerate the release of my potential. Now I can become stronger automatically whether I sit or lie down, but I can't wait any longer. Should I try to ask Fufeng to help me practice with him? It doesn't seem to work. It's not enough to just have someone willing to practice with me. In other words, as long as I know in my heart that it's just practice with him, it's meaningless. It must be a real fight with my life at stake.

Since the head of the Sharpshooter could no longer be used, I had to find a new direction to investigate the true identity of the hostile Great Impermanence.

I remembered the Great Impermanence's shaky reaction to the Doomsday dream. It was obvious that he seemed to recognize the scene shown in the Doomsday dream. In other words, although I don't know why, he seemed to have a certain degree of knowledge about the Doomsday era.

The doomsday dream corresponds to the future after the doomsday. Since he knows about the doomsday era, it means he knows the future.

The Great Impermanence who can predict the future - could it be the Divination Master?
