The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

However, Kazuo didn't care about any of this. In his eyes, humanity had "eliminated the gap between each other" because of this.

There is no more injustice, no more harm; everyone is equal.

Now all he needs to do is ensure that his "achievements" reach a sacred eternity.

But Gu Ran's appearance ruined everything.

God's desire for Gu Ran's body drove Him to desperately try to imprison Gu Ran's consciousness, and then usurp her body.

However, while Gu Ran's psychic power was no match for top-tier experts in battle, it was unmatched in terms of detection.

Now, Gu Ran has discovered another use for telekinesis.

That is, mental power can directly sense the consciousness and can act on the consciousness to some extent.

The "god" wanted to devour Gu Ran's consciousness in order to destroy Gu Ran's soul and take over Gu Ran's body, but it never expected that Gu Ran's consciousness possessed the magical power of telekinesis, which could turn the tables on it.

Feeling that his more than 40 million units of mental energy had finally almost reunited, Gu Ran began his counterattack.

Didn't you want to find my consciousness, destroy it, or devour it?

Then I won't hide anymore, I'll just appear right in front of you!

The only difference is that there is now a "great army" of mental energy surrounding my consciousness!

There are also more than 40 million consciousnesses around "God", some of which are used by it, but their numbers are very limited.

More often than not, they are outside the control of "God" and even resist "God"!

It is not that by offering to "God", the consciousness of these people in the Far East City will immediately disappear and be swallowed up, or that they will be powerless to resist.

Gu Ran had already figured out some things about this "god." It was a peculiar conscious life form with relatively low intelligence.

If growth is to occur, other forms of consciousness are needed to provide "nutrients".

The process of "supplementation" cannot be achieved immediately; it depends on the amount of "nutrients." For example, if the consciousness of more than 40 million people in the Far East City were to be completely "digested," according to Gu Ran's estimate, it would take at least five years.

Of course, this is based on the premise that the "god" continues to devour these consciousnesses at the current speed. If the "god" becomes stronger and the speed of devouring gradually increases, turning into an acceleration, then Gu Ran's calculation will be inaccurate.

Although it is certainly less than five years, it is still a very long time, because the outcome of a battle can be known in just a moment!

Gu Ran, leading his psychic "army," charged straight at the consciousness of "God."

"God" seemed to sense something was wrong and immediately used the consciousness He could control to stop Gu Ran, but it was easily defeated by Gu Ran's mental power.

All the controllable consciousness entities were used by "God" to block Gu Ran's attack, but they still couldn't hold out for long.

Gu Ran showed no mercy to this "god".

"God" ran and ran, and Gu Ran chased and chased, until they reached the true core of the tower.

How did Gu Ran know that it was the truly "core" place?

When Gu Ran used his mental power to sense the familiar device in the center of the tower, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The center of the Tower of Consciousness is not empty; rather, it contains a device that draws energy from the consciousness.

This energy device can not only absorb energy from the surrounding air to automatically maintain its operating power, but also provide environmental reconnaissance to protect itself.

Gu Ran was very familiar with this device, as he had seen it several times before, and it always proved to be very useful.

Ark Core!

A triangular crystal cone-shaped ark core floated silently in the center of the tower.

After the "god" escaped to the core of the ark, Gu Ran immediately felt a sense of relief.

He seemed to feel that he had finally reached a safe place.

201. Shockingly, the true identity of the "god" is actually this?! (4k)

The core of the Consciousness Tower was actually the "Ark Core," something Gu Ran hadn't anticipated.

So what about this "god"?

What exactly is it?

The "god" who had previously held a veil of mystery in Gu Ran's eyes suddenly lost its original luster.

If it were anything else, Gu Ran would have a hard time figuring out how to completely subdue it. But if it were the "Ark Core," things would seem much simpler and easier.

The "god" returned to the "core of the ark," seemingly feeling as if it had found a support, and began to "provoke" Gu Ran again, sending him flirtatious glances that longed for his body.

The towering Tower of Consciousness, containing the consciousness of over 4000 million people, is quite a formidable sight.

However, Gu Ran felt that the process was still very easy despite such intimidation, and it seemed to be no different from before.

Gu Ran seemed to be deep in thought, and a vague guess formed in his mind.

However, this was not the time to verify his guesses; he had more important things to do.

The Tower of Consciousness, since it's consciousness... let's use mental power to break it down.

Gu Ran's mental power instantly formed a huge and sharp knife, aimed at the base of the tower.

The telekinetic blade was raised high; if it were to fall heavily again, the operation would seem to be over.

However, Gu Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, and he simply held the sword up without immediately bringing it down, as if he was waiting for something.

Suddenly, Gu Ran felt as if his body had sunk into a swamp, and his movements became extremely sluggish.

Time management!

The other party's ability to slow down or delay time.

Although the other party hadn't used it before, Gu Ran had been on guard.

Now, the other side has indeed used it.

Because he hadn't been mentally prepared or on guard when facing Hara Yoriyoshi before, and Hara Yoriyoshi died too quickly, Gu Ran didn't have a very direct feeling about this time-related ability.

But now, Gu Ran has such an opportunity.

—An opportunity to observe this ability in detail after being fully prepared mentally and physically.

A sense of sluggishness?

Why do I feel sluggish?

This question was the first thing that came to Gu Ran's mind.

If you experience a sense of sluggishness, it indicates that there is some disharmony or incoordination somewhere.

Because if the whole system is coordinated, then he will not feel any sluggishness.

If the other party's time manipulation ability is truly applied to him as a whole, would he be able to feel any delay?

If the other party's time manipulation ability is fully applied to him and his surroundings, and his time flow is synchronized with that of his environment, he should not feel any lag.

But the fact is that he felt a sense of sluggishness, which means that the other party's ability is not perfect.

The effects on him and his surroundings did not align, so he experienced this disharmony—a sense of sluggishness.

Because if this ability were perfect, normally the person being attacked would not feel anything unusual and would feel that they were in sync with time.

Only from the perspective of the enemy, that is, the other party, will the movement become sluggish, that is, all the person's movements become slow motion.

After realizing the characteristics of the opponent's ability, Gu Ran immediately thought of a countermeasure.

boom!

After Gu Ran was trapped in the time manipulation and his movements slowed down, "God" emerged triumphantly from the "Ark Core".

"My...my...body..."

The "god" seemed like a toddler, uttering simple, childish words, rushing towards Gu Ran's body.

Gu Ran immediately knew that he didn't need to put much effort into thinking of a solution, because the other party had delivered themselves to his doorstep.

"God" indeed has an extraordinary desire and obsession with his body, and will think of possessing it as soon as he gets the slightest chance.

This yearning and persistence made Gu Ran momentarily dazed and reflect.

Could it be that the other person is actually the true owner of my body, and I am the one who has usurped it?

But Gu Ran didn't have time to think about that question right away.

"God" rushed into his body and began to struggle with him for control of the body.

To Gu Ran's surprise, his body showed a strong aversion to foreign consciousness.

As soon as the "god" rushed into his body, he found it difficult to move, and his strength was constantly being worn down by the rejection.

The "god" struggled to penetrate his sea of ​​consciousness, to gain control of it, and thus control of his body.

The sea of ​​consciousness is something that is difficult to describe using material concepts. It cannot be found in any part of the human body, but once one becomes a soul or a conscious being, one can see the passage leading to the sea of ​​consciousness.

If a consciousness occupies a person's sea of ​​consciousness, it may be able to "seize the body" and gain control of that person's body.

Of course, since everyone's body is repulsive to external consciousness, even if one gains control of the sea of ​​consciousness, the body will still reject it.

The severity of rejection is influenced by many factors and depends on a variety of circumstances.

These are all pieces of knowledge recorded in books and made public. Gu Ran had browsed through related content before and still remembered quite a bit of it.

Gu Ran discovered that he could clearly sense the path and speed at which "God" entered his sea of ​​consciousness.
