Chapter 226: Chapter 150: Indigenous People of the Intersecting Boundaries, Slaying Creatures with Divinity Attributes!
"Confluence of reflections?"
Void Blade asked, puzzled.
Doctor Shen said with an ugly expression, "That is a strange phenomenon caused by the contact between one of the top ten Divine Relics—[GOD-005·Mirror World]—and the Intersecting Boundaries, two unique products."
"[GOD-005·Mirror World] reflects reality, extending infinite possibilities. If the real world itself is likened to a mirror, then [Mirror World] is another mirror facing this world."
"When two mirrors face each other, they create infinite reflections... That is to say, during the process of mutual reflection, an infinite number of imaginary worlds are born, each symbolizing a possibility of the real world."
"Occasionally, [Mirror World] draws people from the real world into these imaginary worlds, and only by finding the 'unreality' flaw within can they escape and return to the real world."
He quickly explained the general abilities of [GOD-005] and then said:
"As you know, Intersecting Boundaries are the ultimate product of the overlap between the real world and the Otherworld, where parts of the two worlds merge into something new."
"And 'confluence of reflections' happens when [Mirror World] steps in, first reflecting an imaginary version of the Intersecting Boundaries through its abilities, then integrating this imaginary version back into the Intersecting Boundaries."
"Intersecting Boundaries are originally 'Subworlds' created out of thin air, their essence containing an illusory aspect, highly compatible with the imaginary worlds, making the fusion very simple..."
"After this phenomenon occurs, it causes entirely unpredictable changes in the Intersecting Boundaries... The most important thing is, after the confluence of reflections, the Intersecting Boundaries inherit the characteristics of the imaginary world, and without finding the flaw, one cannot escape."
"And the flaw in the Intersecting Boundaries is... the Core."
"A Coreless Intersecting Boundary equates to 'death'; no changes occur, thus only Intersecting Boundaries that still have a Core can undergo confluence of reflections with [Mirror World]."
"And the core of 'Roaring Waterfall'... is almost certainly that Pureblood Dragon Species."
Mountain Demon scratched his head beside him and said, "Can you just state the conclusion? I don't understand this."
Doctor Shen glanced at him and slowly said:
"In simple terms, this Intersecting Boundary is no longer as we previously observed, and what changes will occur is currently unknown."
"And for Xue Jing to escape from it... he must find the 'flaw,' which is the Core, and if the Core is the Pureblood Dragon Species... he must slay the dragon and destroy its Core Organ."
"The most severe problem is, he still doesn't know this information... and we can't contact him now."
...
In a fertile grassland, dressed in a black tactical suit, carrying a large backpack, Xue Jing stood.
He was holding a palm-sized tablet computer in his hand, displaying a map on the screen.
"Huh? Didn't you say the exit had GPS coordinates? Why can't I see it?"
Xue Jing was somewhat puzzled.
"It said the two monitors had already been placed, but they're not showing up... What's going on."
He was somewhat baffled.
"Forget it, maybe the signal here is not very good."
Xue Jing placed the tablet in his backpack, then looked around him briefly.
"This is the Intersecting Boundary... Unbelievable, outside it looks like the end of the world with terrible weather, but stepping in here is like entering another world with birds singing and flowers fragrant."
He looked at the vast fertile grasslands around him, the clean streams nearby, the clear sky without a cloud, slightly bewildered.
Taking off the protective face mask, breathing in the fresh air, Xue Jing couldn't help feeling pleased.
Thinking it over, he took a cylindrical 'monitor' from his backpack and pressed a hidden button on it.
Immediately, eight mechanical claws extended from the bottom of the cylinder.
Xue Jing pointed the mechanical claws downward, placing the monitor on the grass.
Immediately, the monitor began to click and clack, like a spider moving its limbs rapidly, digging up the soil and carving out a small hole just big enough to accommodate itself, before burrowing entirely into it, leaving only a tiny head cover exposed.
Xue Jing then took out the tablet computer again, opened the map, and looked.
Compared to the emptiness earlier, there was now a white dot on the map, with a long bar extending from the 'dot', rotating in circles like a sonar radar."
"Weird... The GPS system should be working, and the signal is normal; why can't it find the exit location and the other two monitors?"
Xue Jing was somewhat puzzled.
"Forget it, I'll worry about it later."
Xue Jing stretched lazily, not too concerned about the situation.
Strong capabilities could fill the void of internal fragility; with his current strength, even unexpected emergencies hardly caused any emotional fluctuation.
"Let's get down to business," he said.
He unfastened the backpack he was carrying, snapped his fingers, and immediately, a black stream of air was drawn out from the shadows at his feet, coalescing into a Dark Flame and animating into a fairly large crow.
Handing the backpack to the crow to grasp in its claws, Xue Jing casually chose a direction and started walking.
...
Half an hour later, Xue Jing walked into a forest.
"The color of this tree is a bit weird. Should I try making a pact with it?"
As he nibbled on a compressed biscuit he held, he stared at the large tree in front of him, its whole body pale blue while its leaves were a fiery red, feeling somewhat intrigued.
"Gaaaaah--!!"
"Aah!!"
Suddenly, a beastly roar that he hadn't heard before, along with a clear human scream, came from deep within the forest.
Xue Jing's eyes shifted, and after pondering momentarily, he walked towards the source of the noises.
After crossing several thickets, a clearing appeared ahead.
In the clearing, there was a strange monster with odd bumps all over its body, with a head much thicker than its body, which was half its size.
The monster, as large as an adult water buffalo, had a large head with a mouth that could stretch to its own waist, filled with uneven, sharp teeth, resembling a lamprey.
The ferocious beast was drooling, and in front of it stood a young girl clearly in panic, her skin somewhat dark, dressed quite scantily.
"A human native?" he wondered.
Seeing this, Xue Jing was about to lend a hand while intending to communicate with this native.
And just then.
"A Linder Darka, Tamogu!" the girl pointed at the monster.
Xue Jing's earpiece simultaneously translated, letting him know the meaning of the girl's words.
"My Daruka, go!"
No sooner had she spoken than a small, thin, yellow monkey emerged from behind the girl, screeching and lunging towards the monster.
It was immediately smashed to the ground with a slap, turned into a meat paste.
Xue Jing: "..."
Listening to the girl's incredulous scream, Xue Jing was somewhat speechless.
So you thought you could pull some tricks, only to bring out this small potato?
Xue Jing shook his head, stretched out his hand, and pointed at the monster.
From the deep shadows within the forest, a dense black stream of air was drawn out, condensing into numerous sharp black long spears, piercing the monster.
"Ssshhhssshh--"
The numerous sharp Shadow Flame spears instantly turned the beast into a porcupine, causing it to emit a painful 'gaaaah' scream.
Xue Jing clasped his hand towards it and whispered, "Bloom."
The Shadow Flame spears embedded in its body suddenly bloomed like lotuses, with numerous black spikes bursting forth, dark red blood splattered everywhere.
The monster's cries abruptly stopped.
The girl stared blankly at the scene before her, her beautiful eyes frozen in a daze.
Xue Jing walked towards her unhurriedly, and at the same time, he instinctively opened his panel to check.
"[Killing a special creature with Divinity, Divinity +12]"
Hmm?
Oh!?
...
