From the end of the world

Chapter 439: Invasion of "Xanadu"

Although the Preacher looks pitiful now, I have not forgotten the arrogance he showed when he first appeared. Moreover, I don't think he really can't understand why Taoyuan Township was listed as an enemy by Luo Shan.

From my personal point of view, there is really no reason to stop others from dreaming. However, for Luoshan, an organization, it is not reasonable to let them sit back and watch the establishment of "Xanadu". First of all, from what I know, Gua Tianshi is very likely not to agree. He seems to have very high expectations for helping human civilization develop into the interstellar era, and the spiritual other side that appears only to satisfy the wishes of current humans is contrary to his expectations.

The other Great Impermanence characters I have come into contact with do not seem to be characters who would place their lives and souls in the "Xiaowaiyuan". Fa Zheng may have some positive views on the "Xiaowaiyuan", but the premise is that he has to lead it himself. Since he has not made any suspicious related actions until now, it means that he probably does not intend to go this route.

As for the ordinary demon hunters, unless they intend to merge into the "Xiao Wai Yuan", most of them will not sit idly by and watch its completion. Because both the doctrine of ruling the world and the doctrine of transcendence are essentially ruling ideas. Identifying with the "Xiao Wai Yuan" is equivalent to allowing a large number of social human resources to be lost. From this perspective, any organization that does not intend to merge into the "Xiao Wai Yuan", including the national officials, will not allow it to be successfully completed.

The establishment of the other side of the world will cause unprecedented damage to the meaning of the existence of society itself. All those who are strongly dissatisfied with real life, think that they cannot change their living conditions in the future, or are unwilling to continue to spend time and energy to change their lives may seek to join the "paradise".

Although the mainstream ideology of society advocates that people should unconditionally embrace reality, and believes that being addicted to virtual dreams and defending them is an absolutely wrong value, over time, when the desire to pursue dreams becomes popular, new values ​​will emerge. At that time, "unconditionally embracing reality" may become a wrong value in the minds of the masses.

In addition, it is currently unknown what kind of thoughts the ultimate entity called "Utopia" will develop in the final stage of the Utopia Plan.

As a person who plans to live inside the "paradise", the "Preacher" probably has never thought about how the ultimate individual will act in the outside world at that time. However, as a person living in the outside world, he has to think about how to face the existence with incredible power at that time.

It is a gathering of people who are pessimistic, negative, and even desperate about the real world and who are willing to escape into dreams. At least I find it hard to imagine that it has any friendly feelings towards our world.

The "Xanadu" I sensed now has at least a hundred times more power than me, and if nothing unexpected happens, this is probably just the tip of the iceberg. It is hard to imagine how terrifying power it will be after it is officially completed. Seriously speaking, if someone now predicts that the end of the world in the future will be caused by this ultimate individual called "Xanadu", I at least cannot question it from the perspective of "can it be done?"

It’s not that I can’t accept the existence of such a being, but what will others think?
The interrogation was almost coming to an end. After a few more questions, we had no more questions for the time being. The "Preacher" begged me to spare his soul again, Zhu Shi looked at me and asked me what to do next, and Xiao Qiao closed her mouth and waited for the next step. I started my next move.

"Since you have a connection with the 'Xanadu', I will use this connection to see what this 'Xanadu' is all about."

While speaking, I left "fireflies" next to Zhu Shi and Xiao Qiao, and took out the fake moon in the water from the flames.

Seeing this, Zhu Shi was shocked and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Of course, we have to actually invade "Xanadu" and see for ourselves.

The abnormal "wound" on the "paradise" connected to the "preacher" should be the trace left by Ying Lingyun when he tore the power resource from it in the past. Although it is unknown how he did it, it is likely that Ying Lingyun did not obtain the consent of the Taoyuan village owner when he requisitioned this power resource.

He may have used his cooperative relationship with the Taoyuan Township Lord to secretly hack into the "Xiaoyuan" through some unknown means. Although it sounds like nonsense, Ying Lingyun is such a ridiculous character that he can achieve miracles that even many great impermanence cannot achieve.

And since Ying Lingyun can do it, why can't I?

Facing the "Preacher" who could not resist, I pointed the fake Moon in the Water at his eyes. The spiritual power fluctuations spread, and my consciousness hacked into his soul. And under my conscious control, my consciousness followed the connection on his body and drove straight into the "paradise" in the dark. This approach is actually dangerous. After all, the "paradise" is a time and space created by illusion, and it also has a power scale far stronger than mine. Maybe I will be captured by this illusion in turn.

On the other hand, I can also make a clear judgment that "Xanadu" does not have any subjective will at the moment. At least at this stage, it is still a building under construction. Even if it has been torn apart from the outside, it has never shown any active and direct counterattack.

Originally, I shouldn't have found a chance to break in, but thanks to the wound left by Ying Lingyun, I found a loophole that was big enough to break in, just like finding the back door of an iron fortress.

My vision quickly fell into darkness, and the "Preacher", Zhu Shi, and Xiao Qiao disappeared from my side. Fortunately, as long as I sensed it a little, I could perceive the scene in reality through the "fireflies" that remained in place. And my consciousness was like entering a narrow tunnel, and after a very short time, I drove out from the other end.

What reappeared in the field of vision was no longer the upper floors of the unfinished building, but a gray and old passage. It was just like the corridors in office buildings that can be seen everywhere, but there were no windows and doors on both sides, giving people the impression of a maze.

——Is this the “paradise”?
No matter how I look at it, it feels wrong. I thought that since the name is Utopia, the internal environment of this illusionary space must be more full of birdsong and flowers, or at least have a warm atmosphere. This unsightly scene in front of me is completely different from my imagination. Moreover, this scene gives me a sense of déjà vu, as if I have visited this place before.

I quickly remembered that a long time ago, the immortal monster had used a secret tool to imprison Zhu Shi and me in a maze-like space. The maze-like space at that time was very similar to the scene in front of me.

The secret props of the immortal monsters were given by the monster maker, and the monster maker was Ying Lingyun's "possible clone"... Could it be that I had entered the "Xanadu" with Zhu Shi a long time ago? Or was the maze space at that time just a time and space created by Ying Lingyun based on the scenes of the "Xanadu"?
Maybe it's because I'm now a great impermanence, and my perception is much sharper than it was a long time ago, so I can perceive more information from this maze space than before. This maze space gives people a cold and resistant temperament, reminiscent of a town that is unfriendly to outsiders, and every wall seems to be vaguely expressing the meaning of "get out of here".

A judgment gradually formed in my mind. This place might not be a real "paradise". It's not that I invaded the wrong place, but my existence might be like a virus trying to invade a computer. After all, I don't have the clever technology like Ying Lingyun. The moment I hacked into this place as an intruder, I was probably recognized by its internal immune mechanism and transferred to the "quarantine area".

So, assuming that the enemy hiding behind the scenes has discovered me through the mechanism, what will he do next?
The moment I realized this, I felt extremely dangerous. I immediately retreated, at least a thousand meters away. The walls on the road were all smashed by my body, and a blue lightning bolt suddenly appeared where I was standing. Maybe only when you stand far away can you tell that it is a lightning bolt, because it is so big, using it to attack me is like using the load-bearing column of a bridge to hit an ant.

The power of the blue thunder that landed on the ground seemed to be the creation of the world, and it turned into countless lightning bolts that rushed around at a speed that was faster than thunder, and the huge roar that was enough to shatter a person's body was endless. The maze building collapsed in an instant, and even the place where I was was affected. As far as I could see, all the walls and floors were broken, and all around me were rubble fragments falling down like a waterfall.

And at the place where the lightning struck, I saw a giant hand made up entirely of green light.

A cut appeared on the palm of the giant hand. It was not a wound, but more like a mouth. Then an eyeball popped out from the mouth.

The eyeball stared at me coldly, and the mouth holding the eyeball moved up and down, making a muffled sound.

"——Zhuang Cheng."

This thing pronounces my name.
