Chapter 168: Seal
Whether for Lin Lei, for Veren, or for the higher-level Monster and Lenna, observing the surrounding things relied on evidence that far exceeded the range of electromagnetic waves visible to the naked eye.
What these power ful lives trusted more was actually the image of all things felt directly from the perspective of Will!
Any object, whether dead or alive, as long as it existed in this Universe, would more or less have an impact on the surrounding environment.
The Mages native to Andromeda called this influence “Aura,” while for Lin Lei and Lenna, it was more similar to a kind of “Fluctuation!”
Matter, as a dead object, had matter waves; life, as a living object, had Will Fluctuations that were distinct from dead objects and much more complex.
Because of the super-distance effect of Will, in the empty space, although the distance between the few people present was very, very far, they could very clearly feel each other’s appearance and every move. Information could also be transmitted very quickly between each other.
And this was also the reason why Lin Lei was discovered by the Watcher Civilization as soon as he revealed his true form five thousand years later.
Theoretically, this method of observation could perceive the changes of all life in the entire Universe at the same time. However, even Will Fluctuations would become weak and mixed due to excessive spatial distance, eventually becoming difficult to distinguish.
For example, the current Lin Lei could “see” a range of one hundred Light Years; for greater distances, he could only vaguely feel a confused white fog.
As a Pan-dimensional Lenna, this distance was much, much greater. Her perception range could radiate to the entire Star System in an instant. As long as she was willing, she could know the specific state of existence of every life in the Star System.
Now, at the edge of this Andromeda, Lin Lei, Veren, and the Monster formed an equilateral triangle with a side length of 0.1 Light Years.
Lin Lei felt very puzzled by Veren’s words. What did he mean by ‘it is time to return’? Could it be that there were still secrets in this Andromeda Galaxy that he didn’t understand?
Veren remained silent all along. A look similar to solemn tragedy appeared on his face. It was hard to imagine that a person who valued power so much would reveal such a noble emotion similar to sacrifice.
He took off the “Origin Law” he wore on his head, staring unblinkingly at the Law vortex inside the Crystal Diamond.
A strange fluctuation that Lin Lei had never felt before began to emit from Veren. It was very weak, but like ripples on a calm water surface, although tiny, it was incomparably clear.
For some reason, upon feeling this fluctuation, a look similar to panic actually appeared on the face of Lenna, who had been hiding in Lin Lei’s Sea of Will.
Panic?! Lenna had never shown this emotion even when facing the “Blood-colored Abyss” which was stronger than her. This made the suspicion in Lin Lei’s heart even heavier.
“Lin Lei, this Divine Artifact is definitely not a creation of an ordinary Pan-dimensional Creature. It is very powerful; I sense a higher-level power!”
“Higher level!? What is that?” Lin Lei had always thought that Pan-dimensional Creatures were the highest-level existences, but now Lenna gave a concept of a higher level.
“I don’t know either. Just watch carefully.”
At this moment, the Monster in the distance who was crazily destroying planets also felt this fluctuation. He suddenly stopped his body’s movement, turned around, and his deep-set eyes stared straight at Veren’s direction. On his ugly face, one could actually see expressions of confusion and fear.
Clearly, he also sensed the higher-level existence that Lenna mentioned!
On this side, Veren’s movements did not stop. From the outside, he just looked at the Rule vortex with his eyes, but from the perspective of Will, the mysterious fluctuation emitted from his body became more and more intense. From small waves at the beginning, it turned into stormy waves, and finally, it actually showed a momentum that could topple seas and overturn mountains!
At this moment, this Immortal among mortals was actually more like a Deity than a Pan-dimensional Life!
The “Origin Law” floated in space and maintained a very mysterious connection with Veren. Around this Crystal Diamond, space began to beat like boiling glazed flame.
This space flame was originally nothing special; Lenna could do it too. When the Dark Saint was reborn back then, the scene of tearing space was even more spectacular than this!
But when starlight from afar passed through this area of “Glazed Flame,” these cold lights that might have traveled for tens of thousands of Light Years suddenly slowed down in this area, crawling like a turtle.
Light was no longer a macroscopic continuous straight line, but became a collection of one light quantum after another, and was scattered in all directions by the “Glazed Flame.”
“In that area, the fundamental Rules are changing!” Lenna’s tone carried horror!
All along, changing fundamental Rules, in the view of Pan-dimensional Lives, the Watcher Civilization, and other mighty powers, the only path was to increase energy density!
Just like the Fortress Main Gun, which increased the density of energy to infinitely close to the primordial state of the Big Bang, causing space, time, and Energy Dimension to all condense into one. As a result, even Pan-dimensional Creatures could be easily killed.
But now, what unfolded before Lin Lei was the changing of Rules in a low-energy state. What it revealed was a powerful might and an easy and comfortable alteration of the Universe’s state! This exceeded his understanding, and even Lenna had a face full of shock.
“So it turns out, the Supreme Will actually exists. ‘He’ has always been there!” Lenna murmured.
“‘He’ who? Is it the Supreme Will?” Lin Lei asked urgently.
“I don’t know. What I see, added to what I speculate, is only the tip of the iceberg of a certain great one.”
At this time, Veren, this Immortal who single-handedly summoned this huge might, finally paid the price. The elementary particles making up his body began to slowly lose energy, and were stripped of their spin characteristics by the ‘Glazed Flame,’ being converted into chaotic particles with no attributes, existing between energy and matter.
“Archmage Lin Lei, the incarnation of Deity’s wrath is about to be sent back to the Void by me. But as a mortal, I have blasphemed the Deity! After I die, send the ‘Origin Law’ back to the Holy City, please!”
Veren didn’t know if Lin Lei would fulfill this request. He did this only to have a clear conscience!
This was the last Will Veren transmitted. Subsequently, his body completely vanished.
At the same time, that patch of ‘Glazed Flame’ moved as if it had life, instantly moving to the Monster’s side, and wrapped him up at a speed difficult for even Pan-dimensional Life to react.
Then, the Monster completely cut off contact with this Universe. No Will Fluctuations were transmitted out, nor was any energy dissipated.
After the flame surrounded the Monster, in less than a second, both of them disappeared as if they had never appeared in this cosmic space, leaving no information behind!
This time, even Lenna did not sense any information escaping. The theory of information conservation seemed to be broken. Even inside the Event Horizon of a black hole, it was impossible to wipe out information so thoroughly.
In space, only Lin Lei and Lenna remained, along with the ‘Origin Law’ Crystal Diamond which had become dim. Everything that happened just now was like a dream.
“Lenna, my head is very messy right now. Such a powerful Monster disappeared so inexplicably. Doesn’t that mean that a certain supreme existence could also silently destroy Pan-dimensional Lives? This is even more terrifying than the Watcher Civilization’s Fortress Main Gun.”
Lenna also had a face of confusion and daze. After a long while, she reminded: “Hurry and put away that Crystal Diamond. Great mysteries are hidden inside!”
Without Lenna needing to remind him, Lin Lei was already doing it.
When he got hold of this legendary Crystal Diamond, Lin Lei looked at it left and right but found no abnormality. Apart from the slowly rotating vortex inside, this was just an ordinary transparent stone.
But Lenna noticed something different. Her Will sensitivity was much stronger than Lin Lei’s. Looking at the Crystal Diamond at this moment, she found a tiny moving dot inside. She carefully captured the image of this small dot, and finally discovered that this dot was actually that Monster from earlier! At this moment, he was looking around with a confused face.
In other words, the ‘Origin Law’ had sealed this big guy’s Will into the stone.
Lenna realized something. Perhaps the rotating vortex inside this stone was not a simple energy illusion, but a space composed of Will, the same principle as the Sea of Will in the brains of intelligent lives.
It was just that this Sea of Will was too huge, so huge that even a Monster at the Pan-dimensional Life level could only be a small dot inside, and was trapped within it, unable to come out again.
The composition of this Crystal Diamond was also very mysterious. Anyway, with Lenna’s knowledge, she could not see through what material it was made of.
While Lenna was deep in thought, Lin Lei’s voice came over.
“Lenna, how should we deal with this thing? We can’t use it. This thing is too powerful, and as you said, it is also too mysterious. We cannot control it. I think it is best to send it back to the Holy City.”
Lin Lei instinctively felt that this thing had an indescribable relationship with the Andromeda Galaxy. Veren, as a native of the Star System, suffered backlash after using it, let alone him, a visitor from an alien Star System?
Sometimes, maintaining a little awe is necessary; it can prevent people from being swallowed by greed.
Lenna did not express opposition, but just gave a soft “Mm,” agreeing with Lin Lei’s opinion.
