Chapter 229 Inhumans

The eternal dream that was once closed was activated again. This huge spiritual network gradually stabilized after a wave of fluctuations. The magnificent palaces, temples, towers and floating islands rooted in the illusion of the mind were rebuilt. At the same time, countless Eternal Sleepers also linked their thinking into this network - they are both users and builders and maintainers of this network. They open their brain computing power to the entire network and allow this network to control and request according to their needs. The difference between them and those "computer power suppliers" who are called "brain servants" who lie in secret temples like living dead people in the process is that they do not need to pay for the damage of their lives and souls in this process.

After all, the sleeper is the master of the eternal dream. Before the servants die, these masters are reluctant to sacrifice themselves.

And in the deepest part of the Eternal Dream, in the "Dream Hall" located underground in the city, the Bishops and their Pope are ready.

Twenty-two seats are arranged in the center of the room in a circular shape. Eleven white-robed bishops and eleven black-robed bishops occupy half of the seats, as if they were separated by day and night. A hazy black phantom floats in the center of the circular seats. The phantom condenses into human form from time to time, but more often it appears as various indescribable clusters of lilac starlight. Whether in the real world or in this virtual world, the Eternal Sleeping Pope never shows himself in his true face. In fact, believers even firmly believe that their pope has already completed the sublimation of life form and has become an existence equal to the power of dreams. This illusory light and shadow is just a projection of the pope in the world, and is just an "interface" set up to communicate with believers who are still mortals.

Today, the pope is going to lead his bishops to crack the eighteenth attempt to crack the memory fragments of Gauvin Cecil.

"The eternal dream has been stable and the spiritual network is well connected."

"The lower-level computing node is ready, the 'brain servant' array is ready."

"The guardian team has arrived at the location and can handle emergencies in the real world at any time."

"We are ready, the Pope's crown."

The bishops reported on the procedures they were responsible for. After everyone was ready, the indescribable hazy light and shadow floated slightly, as if expressing approval, and Ta's voice echoed in the minds of each bishop: "Let's start - to see what exactly is in the memory of that ancient hero."

The information link to the memory fragment was connected, and driven by the huge computing power provided by the entire Eternal Dream, the terrible memory that had caused hundreds of casualties finally began to loosen - although the real situation was that Gao Wen deliberately left a weak point in the memory fragment, it was obvious that the Eternal Sleeper himself could not notice these.

They were just happy to see that the long-term efforts finally yielded results, and a ray of light appeared in the depths of the huge fog of information. As time went by, the fragments of memory were dismantled bit by bit, and the parts that could be understood and identified by humans entered the minds of every member of the bishops' organization.

At first, they saw a starlight.

The deep and lonely universe, the vast space, and countless stars dotted on the dark and deep curtain. This scene confused the bishops for a moment, but they quickly thought that this was the perspective of Gowan Cecil after his death: Will humans really return to heaven after their death?

Before the bishops could figure out the meaning of that starlight scene, the scene in front of them began to change wildly.

They saw the starlight retreating, and the distorted light and shadow appeared in their field of view. They saw the master of the perspective shuttle through the starry sky and quickly swept through one planet after another at an unimaginable speed...

They saw the master from their perspective appearing on a burning battlefield, with huge demons raging on the battlefield, burning meteorites falling from the sky, and soldiers wearing various strange equipment, who were unheard of even races, kept rushing on the battlefield...

They saw the master of the perspective, leading an army to attack a fortress with incomprehensible architectural style. The fortress seemed to be made up of the flesh and blood of some creature, and a huge crowd of terrifying insects swarmed out of the fortress, fighting fiercely with the legion led by the master of the perspective,...

They saw the owner of the perspective suddenly come to a world of ice and snow, and a steel building with thick smoke exploded in the wind and snow...

They saw the master of this perspective traveling through different worlds, sometimes leading an army to sweep the battlefield, sometimes destroying the entire country alone, sometimes turning the tide to guard something, but sometimes putting the entire planet under the flames of extinction, he fought, protected, destroyed, and created, and while doing all these things, he carried a calmness like an almost bystander, as if all of this was just for completing a task, or simply entertaining himself.

This "feeling" is integrated into the depths of memory, and is directly transmitted from the perspective of the master to the brain of every bishop of the Eternal Sleeper on the scene.

And every time this perspective switches to the world, it is accompanied by the same scene: a scene of the endless starry sky, followed by the illusion of passing through the starry sky...

The bishops of the Eternal Sleepers trembled, letting those memories wash away their minds, they no longer dared to think about it, but the memory was still playing - until at the end, they saw the starlight appear again in the sky, and as the starlight shifted, a planet flashing in the universe appeared on the background, and the master of the perspective pounced on the planet - its earth quickly magnified in the field of view, and some details on the earth were so familiar that they dared not associate it.

And this time, the master of the perspective seemed to turn his direction while rushing to the earth. The bishops of the Eternal Sleeper saw the starry sky again. In the familiar starry sky that you can see when you look up from the continent of Loren, they saw one spot of light after another passing through the stars, and some huge, metal-cast structure hanging high in the sky. An incredible invisible effect is gradually covering the structure and disappearing into the eyes of the world.

The memory fragments end here.

The illusion faded like a tide, and everyone's eyes were refocused. The bishop's consciousness returned to this hall. They looked at each other in panic and found that all their colleagues were soaked in sweat.

No one spoke out on his own initiative, because no one could think of what to say at this moment. It was not until half a minute later that the illusory light and shadow in the center of the hall broke the silence: "Let the nightmare mentors waiting outside take over the eternal dream temporarily, and the bishops convened an emergency meeting. Today's affairs must not be spread."

The Eternal Dream quickly completed the blocking and cutting of information. After the entire hall turned into a safe and closed space, a white-robed bishop couldn't help but say: "The authenticity of the memory fragment..."

"There is no doubt about the authenticity, I have checked it myself," the voice of the Pope Eternal Sleeping, "It is indeed a real memory, not a woven illusion - everything in the fragments is a real experience."

"Gaven Cecil's resurrection is indeed fake..." Another white-robed bishop's voice trembled, "The one who woke up was not an ancient hero at all! In that body, there was an alien, inhuman, and indescribable existence!"

"What is his purpose? What will he do?"

"We cannot summarize the rules... those messy and broken memories, those scenes... there is almost no logic to find! That 'inhuman thing' seems to be traveling through worlds, constantly changing the shells they use. Sometimes it seems to be saving the world, sometimes it seems to be destroying it, and sometimes it is just wandering around the world, and that behavior has no purpose at all - we can't understand how an existence like that thinks!"

"Do those worlds really exist? Those worlds that are so different from our world, do they really exist, or have they existed?"

"This has nothing to do with us. The biggest problem now is still to understand the 'inhuman thing' that occupies Gowan Cecil's body, to understand what he wants to do when he comes to our world - 'This time', is he trying to destroy, protect, or just pass by? Or... he will do something even more terrifying or weird that has never been in his memory?"

"Ta cannot be passing by!" A black-robed bishop who was more concerned about the situation in Ansu suddenly spoke, "Ta chose to use the body of a founding duke as the carrier of 'this time', and also established a territory near the dark mountains, and started pioneering construction like a mortal. This must have a purpose. And Ta also killed a bishop of the Eternal Sleeper..."

"That bishop was acted rashly and caused disaster," someone next to him interrupted the black-robed bishop. "Of course, without his rash action, we would not have received the information we are now."

"Anyway," the pope suddenly spoke, and the scene immediately became quiet. Everyone listened to the pope's voice echoing in their respective minds. "Maybe we should use 'Holy' to call that non-human thing..."

"What action should we take, the Crown?" asked a white-robed bishop cautiously. "No matter what the non-human thing is to do, He is a huge uncertainty. Should we consider it..."

"Don't take action!" The Pope stopped this idea in an unprecedentedly stern tone. "The situation is very likely to lose control!"

"But the shell He is using now is just a mortal. Perhaps if we destroy His 'carrier', we can exile Him to where He comes... and even completely destroy Him!"

A man in black robe standing opposite the bishop shook his head: "It's too risky. In those memories, we see Him traveling through countless dangerous worlds, and those battlefields and desperate situations are terrifying than any sinister situation we have experienced. In some pictures, we can even see His fall - but He has never died, but can return to the battlefield again and again. This shows that destroying its carrier cannot effectively damage it, and even if he is exiled, He can come back. As for seals... who dares to ensure that the known sealing method will be effective for such an inhuman thing outside the territory? If it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. And everyone must always remember one thing: the body He uses is just a ‘carrier’, and He may be able to replace it with new ones at any time, so any action on that carrier... is meaningless, and it will only make us lose the only clue."

"There is more important point," added the man next to the black-robed bishop, "Don't forget the last scene we saw in those memory clips - there was more than one shuttler moving in the starry sky, and there was also a hidden steel palace still hanging among the stars. This shows that the non-human thing is probably not alone. He has his own kind and a nest. Once we act rashly, it attracts more..."

The bishop did not continue to say it, but his meaning was quite clear. Everyone in the hall realized the hidden danger, so a needle was heard on the scene for a moment.

The bishops suddenly felt that the situation was really strange, even so strange that it made people laugh and cry.

A group of heretics who are opposed to civilized society... are actually struggling with such things, how to face a "non-human thing" - if this inhuman thing really comes to destroy the world, maybe they won't be struggling, but the key to the problem is that they don't understand what this inhuman thing is for!

This caused the cultists to fall into a huge state of helplessness.

The Pope sighed - this was probably the first time he sighed since he transformed his own life form.

I thought that the cracking work had made great progress and I could take this opportunity to understand the secrets of Gowen Cecil and some truths about the world, but who could have thought that the memory fragment actually revealed a clue that was completely beyond everyone's expectations...

Or...is this part of the truth of the world?

The phantom of the pope stirred up, shook his spiritual power, and sent his words into everyone's mind:
Chapter completed!
