Chapter 179: The Frozen Battlefield
Chapter 179: The Frozen Battlefield
When Lin Lei and Lenna’s Split Wills entered the Land of Silence, it was indeed as the System had said; the Split Wills immediately encountered irresistible information restructuring.
However, the direction of this restructuring was exactly the reverse of everything Lin Lei had done before.
So, when the two reappeared in this sealed relic, as wished, they did not lose their original Will and retained clear memories.
As the System had described, everything here was indeed frozen. In essence, there was no information exchange, and this state had lasted for tens of millions of years!
However, Lin Lei and Lenna had no barriers to information exchange between them. After restructuring, the two had a natural, inseparable connection.
Their Will composition was in a self-circulating state, which allowed them to be minimally affected by the silence of this area.
Yet, even though they could still think and communicate, they faced a situation where they could not hear, could not see, and were surrounded by darkness.
Because there was no information exchange in the Land of Silence, Lin Lei and the others were like people living in nothingness, whose touch, smell, vision, hearing, and all other channels of external communication had been cut off.
This extreme situation left the two helpless, unable to find any direction for what they wanted to do.
“Lin Lei, what should we do now? We have been completely marginalized. Having come here, we can’t even do the most basic observation!”
Indeed, their current state was more like simply overlaying with this space; although they were in the same location, they were thousands of miles apart!
Since they could not observe, they could certainly not change the state of this Land of Silence.
Lin Lei was also deeply troubled by this state, but he did not give up hope: “There must be a way. Since we did experience Will restructuring when we entered, it means this place can affect us, so there must be a way to exert a counter-effect!”
On this trip, Lin Lei certainly could not bring all the Will information of his Split Will. If he had, the main body would have come. However, he had brought all the records the System had about the Allen Civilization.
Now that both were trapped in the fog, they could only bury their heads in studying these materials, hoping to find a way to break through.
The System had once proudly said that its database stored the information of the entire Universe!
But as Lin Lei became stronger step by step, eventually became a Pan-dimensional Creature, and fully cracked this database, he only smiled at his own ignorance back then.
The so-called omniscience simply did not exist!
For example, right now, Lin Lei had browsed through all the data on the Allen, and only saw the System repeatedly emphasizing two points: First, the Dimensional Law cannot be destroyed! Second, information exchange cannot be cut off!
These two classic laws, revered by the System as the ultimate standard, had been forcibly broken by the ultimate weapon of the Allen Civilization that created the System.
Because right now, no matter how Lin Lei sensed, he could not detect any information exchange in this place! As for the Dimensional Rules, which were all too familiar to Pan-dimensional Creatures, there wasn’t even a trace.
So rigorous Digital Lives would also brag, and when they did, they bragged so big. Lin Lei was furious. Outside the Land of Silence, Lin Lei had dared to risk entering only after reading these two laws, only to find he had been deceived!
“Lenna, can you sense anything?”
“No! Even inside an Event Horizon, it is not this silent.” Lenna’s voice was depressed. This place seemed to be its own world. Even if they wanted to return to the original Universe, they couldn’t even find the way.
Either they would break through the silence here, or they would stay with this silence forever!
But at this moment, something even worse happened. Lin Lei discovered that his Split Will was continuously losing control over the information in his Will!
He felt like he was immersed in incredibly cold liquid nitrogen. His Split Will began to freeze from the outside in.
Lenna was the same, but she suddenly transmitted information to Lin Lei very urgently: “Lin Lei, I think the two iron laws the System mentioned are always valid, even here! We can’t feel them only because the Dimension fluctuations are too weak and the flow of information is too small!”
Then what should be done? What use is it to just think it is valid! Although the speed of the Will being frozen was slow, it was irresistible, which made Lin Lei somewhat anxious.
His thoughts were instantly captured by Lenna, who was closely connected to him.
Lenna’s information came through again: “So I have a method, but there is only one chance. Since the information is too weak, causing you and me not to feel it, then I will perform a supernova to illuminate this world!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Lei understood her idea, but it was already too late to stop her.
Lenna’s Split Will immediately began to scatter in all directions at a violent speed. The information composing her Will, lacking the constraints of the Laws, freely exploded outward in all directions.
She chose to self-destruct to gain a large-scale flash, giving Lin Lei a chance to observe this Land of Silence!
It was like when the field of vision was too dark, needing a camera flash for assistance when taking photos.
The function of Will was instantaneous. After Lenna’s Will scattered into free information, although most of it was frozen by this world, after an instant, Lin Lei also obtained the images from the feedback of this information!
He saw the true face of this silent land, the Kingdom of Silence!
This was a dilapidated starfield. The glorious civilization once created by the Allen had been torn into ruins by the invading Pan-dimensional Creatures!
Lin Lei also saw the images of the Pan-dimensional Creatures that had attacked back then. He counted them, and there were fourteen!
Most of these Pan-dimensional Creatures transformed into Titan-like giants, and their hands were tearing at two huge artificial celestial bodies.
These two celestial bodies, needless to say, were definitely the War Fortresses created by the Allen, but now they had been dismantled into bits by the Pan-dimensional Creatures.
What surprised Lin Lei was that the bodies of three of the Pan-dimensional Creatures were on the verge of disintegration. Beside them, the ripples of space had been frozen into waves like transparent glass. Lin Lei knew this was an inevitable phenomenon after the Subspace passage opened.
Lin Lei guessed that some Allen had escaped from here, and these Pan-dimensional Creatures were dismantling their material bodies and preparing to pursue! He didn’t expect that the stay-behind Allen had activated the apocalyptic weapon at this critical moment.
Another four Pan-dimensional Creatures were crashing wildly in the Allen’s starfield, crazily destroying all Life Planets.
Lin Lei even saw a Life Planet blown to pieces, with fragments flying everywhere, while the giant who destroyed it had already rushed to the next target.
Looking at this image, he only had one feeling in his mind: Devils and Doomsday!
Pan-dimensional Creatures were devils, bringing Doomsday to civilizations!
No wonder the Watcher Civilization was now strictly guarding against Pan-dimensional Creatures. These creatures were simply too powerful. If they were allowed to move freely, civilizations would have no place to stand.
However, Lin Lei no longer had time to sigh. He had to become strong in this area as quickly as possible and then break through!
The original fourteen Pan-dimensional Creatures had died, a fact Lin Lei could see from the effect of the “Dimension Destroyer” weapon.
At the moment this weapon was activated, no creature in the world could withstand this shock, not even Lin Lei at present!
But the wonder was here. Although these Pan-dimensional Creatures had died and their Will information had scattered, in the next instant, they were frozen. This was because at that initial moment, the freezing power was incredibly strong.
Unlike now, even a Split Will needed to be frozen for a long time!
Having learned the specific situation of this area, Lin Lei prepared to collect this scattered information to enrich himself. This was undoubtedly a treasure house! It had treasures enough to make him invincible!
Ignoring his frozen information shell, Lin Lei immediately discarded it, fixed his direction, and teleported onto the nearest Pan-dimensional body, preparing to absorb its scattered information.
Lin Lei forgot one thing: that over tens of millions of years, Pan-dimensional Creatures who had entered this Land of Silence to seek treasure were not just him.
These pioneers were also Split Wills of Pan-dimensional Creatures. Basically, they had become independent lives during the restructuring process, and many had been completely frozen, but a few still had a last breath remaining.
They had also received the images brought by Lenna’s flash. The instinct for survival made them make the same choice as Lin Lei immediately.
In an instant, the information exchange in this area suddenly became dense. Including Lin Lei, four Will Bodies were absorbing the scattered information.
Tens of millions of years had passed, and the impact of the apocalyptic weapon back then was slowly dissipating. Until now, it seemed that with the increase in internal information exchange, the speed of collapse was also accelerating.
