I became the old one

Chapter 41 Getting to Know the Subspace

Under crimson skies, dark, foul rivers flow through petrified woodlands.

The huge group of steps leads into the sky, and then converges with the bottom, forming an endless circle.

Bone castles and ichor-stained fortresses stood in the wilderness, and burning pillars lit the sky.Every dream and nightmare, every vision of insanity can be found here.

This is the land of dreams, this is the land of despair.

This is a dangerous zone diametrically opposed to the real universe.

And in this area, on the wilderness where the pitch-black river flows, surrounded by endless chaotic buildings, a colossal beast is waking up from its thousand-year-long slumber.

Su Heng opened his eyes and stretched himself.

He felt that his state was better than ever, but his good mood only lasted for a few seconds.

"What the hell is this place?"

Su Heng was stunned.

His consciousness was still at the moment when he fell from the huge crack on the plain, his body was wrapped in warm magma, sleepiness grew vertically and horizontally in his consciousness like vines.

But wait until you wake up.

In Su Heng's consciousness, it was almost just a moment.

The surrounding scenery changed completely. This is a completely strange place, and Su Heng can feel that this place is not suitable for life.

Not only are the laws of space and time distorted, but there is also no water and oxygen on which life depends.

The smell of filth and decay permeated the air.

The surroundings are obviously quiet, but you can hear maddening whispers, which are two completely opposite perceptions.

Evil power is constantly washing over Su Heng's physical body like a river. If it is an ordinary life, even an extraordinary existence, entering here will be destroyed by the evil stored in this vast space in just a few seconds. The power is assimilated, and the consciousness completely disappears.

But Su Heng is different.

After adapting to the twisted and weird patterns around, as well as the slightly uncomfortable noises and smells.

Su Heng even had the feeling that he stepped onto land from the deep sea for the first time millions of years ago, as if some kind of huge burden fell off his shoulders.

There is a flame on Su Heng's body, burning forever.

The golden flames spread outwards, the pus-covered fortress and the buildings made of bones disappeared, and the crazy illusions also turned into fragile bubbles in the flames.

In the end, what appeared in front of Su Heng was a clean and tidy plain.

The flame symbolizes Su Heng's authority and strength.

The expansion of the flame means that Su Heng can imprint his own mark on this strange space just like corroding the physical universe.And unlike in the real universe, which takes thousands of years to change the landscape, the rate of corrosion in this space is increased to only a moment.

During this process, Su Heng also obtained more information about the nature of this world.

This is a special energy interface called the warp.

The subspace and the physical universe are like two sides of a mirror, they are parallel to each other, but they also have a special connection with each other.

Subspace is a special environment without the concept of time and space. Its function is somewhat like a reservoir in Su Heng’s impression. When energy is scarce in the real universe due to some reasons, a crack will appear in the real universe. The energy in the space will flow into the physical universe through this crack.

In the same way, when some powerful beings die in the real universe.

Its soul will not die just yet, but will return to the subspace and be stored in this special environment in the form of energy.

The rivers, blood-red plains, bony castles, burning flames, etc. that Su Heng saw in the subspace all come from the strong consciousness of life in the physical universe, representing life, war, death, fear, etc. Wait.

Only the purest and most fervent emotions.

Only then can it affect the subspace environment.

At this time, the subspace is quiet and safe. Compared with the vast void, even the blood-red plain under Su Heng's feet, and the magnificent buildings beyond people's ultimate imagination that he saw in his eyes are nothing but dust worth mentioning. That's all.

top priority.

Su Heng still wants to find a way to return to the physical universe from the subspace.

However, at this moment, Su Heng suddenly noticed a familiar aura appearing in the subspace.

Filled with curiosity in his heart, he looked in the direction of the breath, and saw a fragile flame that shone like a golden firefly on the dark crimson sky.

This flame represents the soul of a certain life.

He has a strong enough soul and a strong enough belief that after death, he can cross the chasm-like gap between the real universe and the subspace, allowing his soul to appear in the subspace in a relatively complete manner.

But that's all.

The subspace seems to be calm, but the actual situation is not like this.

The energy in the subspace is constantly flowing. Although in Su Heng's perception, the flowing energy is similar to a breeze, but to the fragile soul of a mortal, it is no less than a raging ocean tide or a roaring sea that engulfs everything. torrents.

It only takes less than a moment, and it is enough to completely swallow and assimilate the lives of mortals.

Good thing…

He met Su Heng here.

Su Heng spread his own flames towards the distance, isolating the turbulent energy torrent in the subspace, and replaced it with warm radiation.

That little soul like a golden firefly seemed to have sensed a familiar force, and flew towards Su Heng on its own initiative.

"god!"

The firefly conveyed a spiritual will.

Su Heng saw Adam's figure in the flames.

He had stayed in the dragonborn city for a while, and he had an impression of Adam.He is the tallest warrior in the Dragonborn tribe. Kanda once proudly told Su Heng that Adam dared to wield a blade against the evil god on the battlefield.

Such a fierce person is almost standing on the top of a mortal.

But now he died tragically, leaving only a few souls remaining in this strange subspace.

"During the time I was asleep, what happened?"

Su Heng asked curiously.

It is a pity that Adam's soul is too weak at this moment, and the short-term mental fluctuations just now seem to have exhausted all his strength, and now Adam's consciousness has fallen into a coma, and there is no way to continue to recover Su Heng's consciousness.

But that's okay.

Only then did Su Heng realize that his power and radiation had changed the life forms of the dragon descendants from the soul.

So much so that in the subspace, Su Heng has absolute control over the descendants of the dragons, including life and death, and can even directly read the thoughts and memories of the descendants of the dragons.

Su Heng used flames to maintain the fragile soul structure of the strong Adam.

At the same time, he used his own power to carefully explore what happened in Adam's spiritual will in the past thousand years.

Everything is developing in an orderly manner.

Until when the memory was about to come to an end, Su Heng found a familiar starlight.

"Xing Zhicai, you dare to come back!"
