Chapter 226: A big guy came in
Gowen walked openly on the avenue of this "imaginary city" with Charles I's face, without any concern about the risk of exposure.
Because he had seen more than twenty Charles I along the way...
Charles I was not a shocking handsome man, but it was obvious that walking on the street with the face of Ansu's founding king had a different feeling. These eternal cultists who were immersed in the virtual world were still mortals with seven emotions and six desires. They still had personal hobbies in some... strange places.
All of this brings Gao Wen a sense of indecipherable incongruity.
This is what the Eternal Sleeper strives to pursue and create? An illusory, beautiful, and even like a mythical world... dream?
Gao Wen could clearly feel that this virtual world is very different from the illusions he encountered before. It is not only more magnificent, but also more real, making it easier to indulge in it. Every leaf, every ray of sunshine, and even every grain of dust here are shaped and run in the real world. The "residents" walking in the streets and alleys enjoy all this with satisfaction and joy, as if they completely don't remember this is a virtual space.
Gao Wen was also a little surprised that he didn't expect that there would be so many people in the Eternal Sleeper.
If this huge city and the floating lands in the sky were filled with people, then the number of cultists in the Eternal Sleeping Cults would probably reach a sensational level, and a huge amount of millions would be possible.
A low-key cult group that develops sneakily... may have so many people?
Gao Wen walked in this dream city with a lot of doubts, and in the process of contacting the city's "residents", he gradually increased his understanding of this incredible place.
Crossing the avenue in the middle of the city, Gao Wen wandered here according to his intuition, looking for things that might reveal more of the city's mysteries, but he had to stop as he tried to pass through an unvisited dome building.
The supposedly perfect "dream" has a loophole here. He saw that the light and shadow inside the dome building were messy and broken. The white marble-paved ground only covered less than one-third of the area in the building. In the void of the marble floor, you can see large areas of gray-black and dull holes, and the messy and broken light in the air connected with the hole, forming a chaotic and disorderly appearance.
This is the fourth "unfinished area" he has discovered in the city.
He thought of the information he had heard from the "residents" before.
This dream city was started in advance. It seemed that in the initial plan of the Eternal Sleepers, they would have to prepare for a long time to activate this huge spiritual network. However, the changes in the situation forced them to start all this in advance, which led to many "loopholes" in the Dream City. Moreover, not only the Dream City was not completed, but even the land and palaces floating in the sky were not completed. Many lands only have complete outlines, no plants or colors on the surface, and the palace is simply an empty shell, with the "mind void" that can swallow the mind.
Gao Wen did not know what the "change of situations" that prompted the eternal sleepers to start this spiritual network in advance, but he instinctively believed that this was mostly related to "the return of stars". Tyr once said that the "Sons of the Storm" who were talking about war with sirens on the sea seemed to know the return of stars and the revival of gods. They often held grand astrological ceremonies, or painted paintings related to stars, ancient gods, etc. on reefs. Gao Wen had reason to believe that the eternal sleepers who were closely related to the Storm must also know this information.
The stars returned to their posts and the gods woke up. In order to welcome this grand event, the cultists had to offer "sacrifices" that had not been prepared yet?
This is the only reasonable explanation that Gao Wen could think of. Although there are still many unknowns in it, the general direction should be correct.
But I'm afraid no cultist would have thought that the stars in this world have been corrected sixteen times and their gods still can't wake up.
Gao Wen is not sure whether there are other corpses on this planet, but he knows that the only god with a clear whereabouts is lying at the bottom of the sea. It is not enough for those deep-sea gods to eat.
In this way, the spiritual network that these cultists activated in advance would be in vain. In this process, their manpower and material losses caused by forcibly advanced will be disrupted and re-arranged. The exposure of risks will severely hit their arrogance.
Thinking of this, Gao Wen couldn't help laughing happily, and shook his head and smiled and left the impassable dome building.
He knew that the three major dark sects had rich backgrounds. Even if they all started certain large rituals in advance and suffered losses, they would not have any impact on them. However, in any case, the loss would be a loss. At least in a short period of time, their frequency of trouble would be greatly reduced.
The "residents" in the city are still "living" happily, and everyone has a happy expression on their faces. They numb their nerves with illusions and dreams, and immerse themselves in the joy of a certain long-cherished wish. They just don't know how long their happy emotions can last until the stars have passed. As a result, there is still no god awakening.
In order to avoid trouble, Gao Wen did not return to the city road, but walked along the path between the buildings and gradually approached the central area of the Dream City. The moment he stepped into the central area, he felt the atmosphere around him change.
There was a solemn atmosphere lingering here. The relaxed and leisurely atmosphere in the outer area of the city disappeared as if it was blocked by an invisible barrier. Gao Wen looked around in shock, but he actually saw an extremely thin, nearly transparent "wall" standing behind him, and the wall also extended to both sides, as if surrounding the entire city center.
Gao Wen did not move around carefully, but carefully observed the situation around this transparent wall. He soon discovered that almost all the "residents" were just moving outside the wall, and only a few "residents" would pass through the wall. These "residents" who passed through the wall were divided into two types. Some walked in casually like themselves, while some had to stop in front of the wall for a long time, recite some formulas or press their hands on the wall and enter some instructions before they could come in.
Is this a "permission lock"? Only qualified people can pass it?
Gao Wen looked down at his body in shock. He was sure that he had walked in casually. Even after passing through the wall, he realized the existence of this barrier due to the changes in his surrounding aura.
Do you have some kind of "high authority" here?
Where did this high authority come from? Is it the "authority" of the eternal sleeper that I devoured?
Gao Wen frowned. If this is the case, then what these eternal sleepers did in the authority system is really a mess. The dead members of the sect have not even been cancelled and have changed into someone wearing a vest and are just in a mess...
However, after thinking about it carefully, he found that this was not a loophole. Normally, this person died and he would automatically cancel the number. Who would have thought that there would be a devourer like himself who would come in wearing a dead vest...
In any case, Gao Wen raised his vigilance and decided to avoid contact with others more cautiously: the higher the authority, the fewer people can pass, and the fewer people can pass, the higher the chance of attracting attention in it. If the Eternal Sleeper who was swallowed by himself is a presence like the four heavenly kings and five elders in this entire cult group, then he broke into the highest authority space and met the remaining heavenly kings and elders, and everything was exposed.
He was not afraid that his confrontation at the spiritual level would lose to these weaklings with memory experiences that were less than hundreds of years, but if he was dismissed and kicked out of the spiritual network, it would be a big problem.
While moving forward in such a low-key manner, he suddenly noticed that a small square appeared in front of him. An extremely beautiful light blue crystal was suspended on the ground in the center of the small square. The glimmer particles radiated from the surface of the crystal reflected the entire square mysteriously and beautifully. Around the crystal, there were scattered figures standing around them. They did not talk to each other. Obviously, they were not gathering here. Gao Wen saw that several of them placed their hands on the surface of the crystal, while the rest just stood in place with their eyes closed, as if thinking.
What does the crystal do?
Gao Wen frowned and began to search for the memories of the Eternal Sleeper he had swallowed. After a difficult search, he finally found a hint from the messy and broken information that it seemed to be something used to transmit information, and it was also a high-end product.
Is it the superior communication node of the spiritual network? The "existent projection" of the communication node in the virtual space?
Gao Wen hesitated for a moment and decided not to miss this opportunity.
He came to the square quietly, and put his hand on the crystal, and looked at him slightly, but no one spoke. The two people recently moved slightly and made some moves to make some moves for Gao Wen.
Gao Wen did not respond too much, but nodded slightly, and he had already established a connection with the crystal and must now concentrate.
After several unsuccessful attempts, he finally figured out how to apply the knowledge he had swallowed. Suddenly, he felt some information fragments flashing through his mind. The next second, the huge database opened the door to him!
Success!
Huge data and information were flowing through Gao Wen's mind. He was surprised to observe the "database" built by these Eternal Sleeper Cultists in this spiritual network, and once again sighed that the world could not tell whether it was an advanced or backward technology tree.
Who would have thought that a group of crazy cultists would create a huge spiritual network, a huge virtual world, and a huge information exchange processing structure in such a world that looks like a backward medieval world!
Of course, they built all this roughly with unreasonable magic, and their application of this advanced system was also very primitive and backward. In Gao Wen's view, they were immersed in creating a virtual world that was extremely enjoyable, and their attention was far more than using this spiritual network to solve various real problems. But it is undeniable that this is really a great creation.
Great enough to make Gao Wen unable to help but make up his mind...
While various thoughts of learning techniques emerged in his mind, Gao Wen did not stop searching most of the information flows for the information flow, because the virtual world had just started, and most of the content in his information network was reporting the operation of various illusory spaces, but suddenly, a piece of information attracted his attention:
Chapter completed!
