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

Is it an ancient relic that has lived for an unknown amount of time, or a "newborn life" that has recently developed intelligence?

Consciousness life...

It seems that the emergence of telekinesis is related to fighting against conscious life forms...

This feeling suddenly arose in Gu Ran's heart.

Then, his mental energy extended into the deep sea, attempting to merge with the "deep water".

To his surprise, telekinesis could easily merge with the "deep water".

"...Discard those useless, low-level emotions of yours..."

"...Those useless emotions do nothing to achieve your goals...they're actually a hindrance..."

The sense of urgency of being targeted by "deep water" and "mass consciousness" returned to Gu Ran, as if he were prey being hunted.

Perhaps because he had just merged with "Deep Water" and "Mass Consciousness", Gu Ran felt that his mental power was merging into "Deep Water" very smoothly.

It seems they were originally one entity, and now they have simply reunited.

"...Whether you like it or not...you are delicious nourishment..."

"...You can't resist me..."

The sense of urgency is growing stronger.

Below him lay the endless black expanse of the sea eye, from which no bottom could be seen. Within that endless black expanse, a colossal deep-sea monster, enough to terrify anyone, seemed about to emerge.

It swallowed him whole, leaving not a trace.

After merging his mental power with "Deep Water," Gu Ran suddenly sensed "Deep Water" and "mass consciousness."

Unlike the faint connection they had made during their previous communications, this time he seemed to have a pair of eyes that could see a thousand miles and was standing directly in an open space without any obstructions.

See clearly the "deep waters" and the "mass consciousness"!

"...Why...are you like me?"

"...Aren't you human? Are you also a life form like me?"

The terms "deep water" and "mass consciousness" carry a strong sense of unease.

Even Gu Ran's original sense of urgency has lessened considerably.

The "deep water" and "mass consciousness" were right. Gu Ran also felt that he had become the same life form as the "deep water" and "mass consciousness".

"Have I become part of a large group consciousness?"

Gu Ran murmured to himself.

Immediately, he felt that he could compete with "deep water" and "mass consciousness" for the dominant position in the fusion!

227. Gu Ran is about to be overwhelmed? All for the sake of the "large group"! 4.1k

However, Gu Ran soon realized that he had only integrated his mental power into the "deep water".

Telekinesis can be seen as an extension of his consciousness, and the area covered by his telekinesis can be roughly considered his domain, his "kingdom".

So in a way, he can be considered a half-conscious, half-material being.

On the one hand, his mental power extends to a very wide range, and all these extended mental powers carry his "consciousness". From this perspective, he possesses the characteristics of a conscious life form.

On the one hand, his mental power must start from and center on his own body, and cannot be separated from his physical body. From this point of view, he also possesses the characteristics of a material life.

What changes can he undergo when he merges with telekinesis and "deep water"?

He can directly detach his consciousness from his body and completely merge it into the "deep water," using the "deep water" as his "body."

If that were the case, the very essence of his life would have truly changed.

They become like "deep water" and "mass consciousness," truly of the same kind.

If he were to merge with "deep water" and "mass consciousness" in this way, he could then compete with them for dominance over the merged consciousness.

In other words, after merging, it can become a new "deep water" or "mass consciousness," and an even more powerful "deep water" or "mass consciousness."

At that time, he might have taken on a different life form.

—It has achieved the eternity of life and completed the essence of evolution.

In short, Gu Ran is a cross-characteristic individual.

Oh, no, it should be called a "life fluid" that can freely choose its life characteristics, and can be freely transformed like a fluid.

He is free to choose whether to become a physical being or a conscious being, or to maintain his current state of being, which is a hybrid of physical and conscious being.

However, Gu Ran did not have the idea of ​​transforming into a conscious life form and merging with "Deep Water" and "Large Group Consciousness".

As he said before, he is the kind of person who is "unambitious".

They only want to enjoy the happiness and beauty that humans can enjoy, and do not want to pursue such ethereal goals as eternal life or the essence of evolution.

If it were a beautiful white-haired girl with red eyes, his otaku tendencies from his past life might kick in, and he might consider it.

Gu Ran doesn't even consider that now.

Although he wouldn't choose to become a conscious life form and merge with the "deep water" and "mass consciousness," Gu Ran had a sudden inspiration and came up with a way to safely escape the deep sea without any worries.

Although we don't know if it will actually succeed, we have no other choice but to give it a try.

"...What happened to you?"

"Deep Water" and "mass consciousness" sensed something was wrong.

At the very beginning, it only sensed the presence of a kindred spirit in Gu Ran.

However, it can still sense that Gu Ran's life form is a material life.

Now, the material life characteristics of Gu Ran are gradually weakening in its perception, while the characteristics of the consciousness life form are instantly strengthening.

This made it immediately feel that it was not facing a human being, but one of its own kind.

But there is no one like it in this world.

It is the only "mass consciousness" born from "deep water".

Other "deep-water consciousnesses" were born by chance because they were unable to return and merge with him for various reasons.

Just like the "consciousness" that previously resided in the strange triangular crystal cone, although it has become "independent," it still seeks to return to the "mass consciousness."

Because after returning, it doesn't die, but rather "becomes stronger".

But now, the "deep water" and "mass consciousness" actually felt a real sense of "kindness" in Gu Ran.

It was as if it was not facing a human being, not a physical life form, but a "mass consciousness" just like itself.

However, this did not alarm the "deep water" or "mass consciousness," as it does not possess any negative emotions or other such "garbage" characteristics in its life structure.

It simply felt puzzled and curious.

It was as if a cat had seen itself in a mirror.

“I want to play a game with you. Don’t you want to merge with me? Then let’s play a fair game. If you can beat me, then you can naturally achieve your goal—to completely merge with me.”

"Of course, this game isn't mandatory, because I don't have the ability to force you. However, if you disagree, you will lose the opportunity to completely merge with me. You should know that my current life form is capable of fighting against you, right?"

"If I'm determined to fight you, you have absolutely no way to do anything to me."

Gu Ran used his telekinesis to "speak" his meaning.

This time, things are different. Gu Ran, now a different kind of "deep water" and "mass consciousness," has the qualifications to have an equal "dialogue" with the other party.

Of course, this was mostly Gu Ran bluffing.

Although his mental power can merge with "deep water" to become another "mass consciousness," his mental power is limited.

Even though his mental power was many times greater than Xue Yingsong's, it was still far from enough compared to the amount of "deep water" underground.

It is estimated that even if he used up all his mental power, he would not be able to fuse even half of the "deep water".

In that case, the "deep water" and "mass consciousness" will still prevail, firmly controlling the dominant consciousness of integration.

However, Gu Ran bets that "deep waters" and "mass consciousness" will not realize this.

On the surface, they appear to be evenly matched, and if they were to fight, it would surely be a fierce battle.

From the information received during the previous integration, Gu Ran also gained a general understanding of some species characteristics of the "Deep Water Consciousness".

The "deep-water consciousness" doesn't care who is dominant, because it's all for the better development and evolution of the "large group".

However, that is only when the difference in "strength" between the two sides is too great. For example, the "evil god consciousness" is just a small shrimp in front of the "deep water" and "large group consciousness".

Therefore, it is only natural for the "evil god consciousness" to "return" to the "deep water" and the "mass consciousness" from both sides' perspectives.

But what if two "deep water" and "mass consciousness" emerge at the same time?

Who is returning to whom?

This is why people with "deep water" and "mass consciousness" have doubts and hesitated.

If it tries to force the integration, Gu Ran's new "mass consciousness" will definitely resist it.

The confrontation between the two "deep water" and "mass consciousness" may cause damage to the "mass".

Gu Ran wanted to use this to force "Deep Water" and "Mass Consciousness" to compromise, thus taking control of the situation.
