I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 515: All Beings and Self

The captain never thought that one day he would understand the heart of things he never thought to understand.

Big trees, soil, rivers...

It turns out that different big trees want different things. Some want to grow very tall and bask in the sun, some want to dig their roots deep to see what is under the ground, some want to grow the greenest leaves, and some even want to extend out of the sky island and grow onto other sky islands.

Some soil wants to stay underground forever, while others want to defeat other soils and become harder...

Rivers are more complex, different currents often have different ideas, most of which are very simple yet full of fantastic ideas.

Not only that, there are even more wonderful things, light, darkness, corruption... These conceptual things actually have their own ideas.

However, when the captain asked earnestly, "Can I keep myself?"

None of those consciousnesses refused and all agreed to his request.

They will admire the beauty of human experience and encourage the captain to persevere. They understand each other and empathize with each other. They understand the captain's obsession and the reasons why the captain insists on himself.

But the captain felt endless sorrow while integrating these consciousnesses.

While losing themselves and merging consciousness, these consciousnesses also gave up their own obsessions.

Consciousness is born from the body, so how can it be separated from the body?
The captain was wandering in memories that did not belong to him, feeling thoughts that did not belong to human. The turmoil of his thoughts became calmer and calmer. After connecting more and more consciousness, he found that he had really become dull.

Although those points of light have given up themselves and let the captain take the main position, those memories and thoughts still often make him feel dazed, and he occasionally suddenly forgets his own identity.

But every time at this moment, those bright spots of hope would come to my mind.

"After you rescue your teammates, remember to take a look outside the Sky Island."

"Can you help me see what's under the Sky Island?"

"The water keeps flowing. Where will it go in the end? Can you help me see?"

"..."

These expectations reminded him that he had more important things to do.

After integrating countless consciousnesses, the captain finally found his team members.

Most of them have fallen into confusion at this time, and have forgotten who they are after countless integrations.

They just instinctively felt that the captain was very close.

After finding these light spots belonging to his teammates, the captain decided to take the next step and return to his body.

He left the sea of ​​consciousness with the light spots of these teammates.

The Star Eye did not stop them, just as the stone said: "After the fusion is completed, any light point is free and can choose its own body..."

However, after returning from the sea of ​​consciousness, the captain did not choose to return to his original bodies, although those bodies remained intact.

The captain looked into the luggage containing the relics.

He had a better idea, one that could defeat the Star Eye once and for all...

He rushed into the relics with countless spots of light.

"You go inside the flip cover... you go inside the magic curtain..."

The captain directed the confused spots of light belonging to the team members and drilled into some of the relics.

Then he looked at a projector. It was the only relic he could think of that could resist the Eye of the Stars.

So, he rushed into the projector with countless spots of light belonging to him.

Because of the impact of the torrent of consciousness, the projector even changed.

As if trying to adapt to this terrifying consciousness, the projector became larger and larger, directly bursting the luggage bag.

But the changes did not stop. The projector broke through the starlight and flew into the sky. The relics occupied by the team members' consciousness, driven by a sense of closeness, also flew into the sky with him.

After getting a little familiar with the relic's abilities, the projector's deep lens was aimed at the starlight covering the forest.

"Eye of the Stars! It's time for revenge!"

The captain's anger reached its peak.

He wasn't just angry about what happened to the survey team, but because of the consciousnesses that merged with him - those consciousnesses that were created for no reason and then harvested into the stars.

Are living things happier than dead things?

The captain didn't think so. After integrating so many consciousnesses, he only felt endless sorrow.

There is no difference between having consciousness and not having consciousness. Blindly believing that one should feel empathy for everything is a kind of superior selfishness.

Things are inherently separate. Wolves should not understand sheep, and sheep should not understand wolves. This is the essence of how this world works.

The distance between the stars is not an obstacle that prevents them from communicating, but a protection.

The empty void separates "all beings" into "self".

Under the embellishment of the dark void, the shining of countless stars has meaning...

At the same time, the Eye of Stars also realized that something was wrong and wanted to release starlight again to deprive these escaping relics of their consciousness, but the captain immediately released brown film to block out the dazzling starlight.

"It's useless, Eye of the Stars, just surrender!"

This projector relic has a strong inhibitory effect on the power of the Eye of the Stars, which is why the captain chose to enter this projector relic.

As a human, controlling the relics requires a price, but once he becomes a relic, he can use his abilities freely, so he abandoned his human body and led his team directly into the relics.

He will try his best to fight against the Eye of the Stars.

Finding that it was unable to influence the relics in the sky, the disappointed and helpless voice of the Eye of Stars came from the starlight:

"Humans... are so stubborn. You have clearly felt the beauty of the fusion of consciousness, but you still want to destroy everything. Isn't it good to empathize with them? You understand their thoughts and their wishes. The reason why consciousness is beautiful is because of the aura that bursts out from the stars."

"You have completely connected the starlight together, turning it into a beautiful galaxy. Now you want to return to your hypocritical body and be bound by the heavy reality. How backward and selfish is this?"

The Eye of the Stars kept expressing its views and was very disappointed with the captain's "betrayal".

The captain did not answer. He knew that no matter how he explained, he could not change the Starry Eye's mind. The Starry Eye had gone completely insane.

He launched an immediate attack, letting the brown filter penetrate into the starlight, and began to search for the location of the Eye of the Stars.

As long as he finds the Eye of the Stars, he can fix it with film and completely cut off its control over the starry sky.

The Eye of Stars also realized that something was wrong. It found that all its abilities had failed. The power of the projector seemed to have complete control over it, and its starlight had no effect at all.

So it quickly hid itself and dived into the depths of the ocean of consciousness.
