I became the Great Old One

Under the crimson sky, dark and dirty rivers flow through petrified woodlands.

Huge steps lead into the sky and merge at the bottom, forming an endless circle.

Bone castles and pus-filled fortresses stand in the wilderness, and shining pillars burn on the horizon. Every dream and nightmare, every crazy and chaotic scene can be found here.

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

This is a dangerous area that is completely opposite to the real universe.

And in this area, in the wilderness where the black river flows, surrounded by endless chaotic buildings, a huge beast is waking up from his thousand-year sleep.

Su Heng opened his eyes and stretched.

He felt that his condition 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 stuck in the moment when he fell from the huge crack on the plain, his body was wrapped in warm magma, and sleepiness grew in his consciousness like vines.

But wait until I wake up.

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

The surrounding scenery has changed completely. This is a completely unfamiliar place, and Su Heng can feel that it is not very suitable for life.

Not only are the laws of space and time distorted, but there is no water and oxygen for life.

The smell of filth and decay is pervasive.

It is obviously quiet around, but you can hear maddening whispers. Those are two completely opposite perceptions.

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

But Su Heng is different.

After adapting to the distorted and strange patterns around, as well as the noise and smell that make people feel slightly uncomfortable.

Su Heng even has a feeling that he first stepped onto the land from the deep sea millions of years ago, as if some huge burden has fallen off his shoulders.

Su Heng has flames on his body, burning forever.

The golden flame spread outward, the fortress covered with pus and the building made of bones disappeared, and the crazy illusion turned into a fragile bubble in the flame.

Finally, a clean and tidy plain appeared in front of Su Heng.

The flame symbolizes Su Heng's authority and power.

The expansion of the flame means that Su Heng can leave his own mark in this strange space just like corroding the physical universe. And unlike the real universe, where it takes thousands of years to change the landform, the speed of corrosion in this space has been increased to only a moment.

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

This is a special energy interface called subspace.

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.

The 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 the real universe is short of energy due to some reasons, a crack will appear in the real universe, and the energy in the subspace will flow into the physical universe through this crack.

The same reason, when some powerful life in the real universe dies.

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

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

Only the purest and most ardent emotions.

can have an impact on the environment of the subspace.

At this time, the subspace was quiet and peaceful. Compared with the vast void, even the blood-red plains under Su Heng's feet and the magnificent buildings that exceeded people's ultimate imagination were just dust that was not worth mentioning.

The top priority.

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

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

He was full of curiosity and looked in the direction where the breath came from. On the dark and dark crimson sky, he saw a glittering, fragile flame like a golden firefly.

This flame represents the soul of a certain life.

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

But that's it.

The subspace seems calm, but the actual situation is not so.

The energy of the subspace is constantly flowing. Although in Su Heng's perception, the flowing energy is not much different from the breeze, but for the fragile souls of mortals, it is no less than the surging tide or the roaring mountain torrent that swallows everything.

It only takes less than a moment to completely engulf and assimilate the life of a mortal.

Fortunately...

He met Su Heng here.

Su Heng extended his flames to the distance, isolating the surging energy torrent in the subspace, and replacing it with warm radiation.

The small soul, like a golden firefly, seemed to have sensed a familiar power and took the initiative to fly towards Su Heng.

"God!"

The firefly transmitted a spiritual will.

Su Heng saw Adam's figure in the flames.

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

Such a fierce man is almost at the top of mortals.

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

"What happened during my sleep?"

Su Heng asked curiously.

Unfortunately, Adam's soul was too weak at the moment. The brief mental fluctuations just now seemed to have exhausted all his strength. Now Adam's consciousness has fallen into a coma and can no longer continue to revive Su Heng's consciousness.

But it doesn't matter.

Su Heng then discovered that his power and radiation had changed the life form of the Dragonborn from the soul aspect.

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

Su Heng used fire to maintain and strengthen Adam's fragile soul structure.

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 developed in an orderly manner.

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

"Star Color, you dare to come back!"

The subspace setting comes from Warhammer 40K
