I Attained Invincibility In The Real World - Chapter 585
Chapter 585: Chapter 335: The Road Named Metamorphosis_2
The king could end his life with just a casual word.
He could only head to the Place of Judgement with an uneasy heart.
And so.
He fell silent for a brief moment.
Wing took a step forward.
He walked very slowly.
The emotions in his heart made him need immense determination for every step he took.
Until he passed by the woman in the thick fog and was about to walk beyond her.
“Don’t be afraid.”
“Neither should you fear.”
The extremely gentle voice attracted Wing’s attention.
The other party was smiling.
For some reason,
Wing could inexplicably sense the smile on the other party’s face.
Even though until now, he hadn’t seen the other party’s face clearly.
“We have long known of your experiences.”
“You share the same pain as us.”
“Even if we carry tainted blood, the heart of our clan will not be extinguished.”
“Step forward.”
“What awaits you is not judgment.”
“But… transformation.”
The other party’s voice, like when they first met, smoothed the waves in his heart.
Transformation, huh…
Wing silently chewed on these two words in his heart.
In the end,
He looked straight at the woman in front of him, staring into her eyes hidden behind the dense fog.
“Thank you.”
No answer.
But Wing didn’t need an answer.
The confusion in his heart was temporarily swept away.
Next,
As the other party said.
He could stride forward.
Footsteps sounded again.
This time,
Wing walked quickly.
The surrounding light became increasingly bright.
So bright that even the thick, nearly substantial fog couldn’t block it.
Wing had to squint his eyes to resist the dazzling light.
But his footsteps were still firm.
Because he believed in that woman.
Believed in the connection from their bloodline.
And so,
Wing stepped forward.
This time,
He walked into the light.
At the same time,
He stepped past the barrier.
“….”
In a wave of silent ripples,
The scene within his vision receded like a tide.
The fog,
Disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Wing lowered his head.
The first thing he saw was the cracked blue stone floor.
He looked up around him.
The interior of the palace-like structure was also filled with cracks, the shaky columns supporting the vast building.
Light poured down from above.
The roof of this structure had long since vanished.
When Wing raised his head, he could even see the fog that enveloped the outside world.
The previously blinding light had penetrated through the fog from above.
“Come.”
At this moment,
A voice interrupted Wing’s observation of the environment.
His eyes followed the blue stone slabs in front of him all the way to the end of the building.
Finally, he saw a man sitting on the throne.
The man was draped in animal skin and stood tall and sturdy.
Even among the Heavenly People, a group full of beautiful men and women, his knife-cut, rugged face was exceptional.
Not to mention,
The nearly three-meter-tall body, adorned with granite-like bulging muscles.
This was like the god of war from the myths.The embodiment of violent aesthetics.
Just staring at him, Wing felt his heart tremble involuntarily.
It was not only because of the man’s appearance,
But also the instinctual reaction from the Heavenly Person’s bloodline within Wing’s body.
The instinctive reaction to the presence of the “king”.
Without any hesitation,
The moment he saw the man,
Wing obeyed his orders, rushed up to the throne, and knelt down in front of it.
“Heavenly Person, Wing.”
Wing announced his name.
He buried his head deep into the blue stone slab.
He dared not even look directly at this “king”.
Then,
The voice came from above.
“Ji has informed me of her memories.”
“I have also known everything about you.”
Ji?
Presumably, it was the woman who had guided him earlier.
Thinking this, Wing did not speak.
He just silently waited for the “king” to speak next.
“You all, come forward.”
“Wing, rise.”
Huh?
Wing looked up somewhat bewildered.
Noises of scattered footsteps drew his attention to the surroundings.
It wasn’t until then,
That Wing noticed that there were other people in the grand hall besides himself.
Heavenly People of various appearances and attire, all with their heads bowed, walked towards him from both sides of the grand hall.
Based on their aura,
These people seem to be Second-Generation Heavenly People.
But Ying could faintly sense the aura of Third-Generation Heavenly People within their bodies.
That somewhat disgusting, impure blood aura.
Were they like him, having awakened early and completed their mission as Third-Generation Heavenly People?
Ying scanned them with his eyes.
As expected,
Among them, only a woman in red gauze who walked at the very back had the same Third-Generation Heavenly Person body as him.
Aside from her,
They were all Third-Generation Heavenly People who had occupied Second-Generation Heavenly Person’s bodies.
Feeling the faint streams of gazes washing over him,
Although he was one of only two standing there who had not completed their mission as a Third-Generation Heavenly People,
Ying didn’t avoid King’s gaze like Hongxia.
Because he believed in Ji, and he believed in what she had said.
What awaited him today would not be judgement.
In the end,
Everyone stood in front of the throne.
Only Ying,
Attempted to raise his head and look at the Heavenly Person’s King.
The other was leaning against his throne, supporting his cheek with his hand.
Wearing an indifferent expression.
Feeling Ying’s gaze,
The King’s eyes also fell upon him.
A flash of appreciation passed by.
“All of you, raise your heads.”
With King’s soft voice,
All the Heavenly People in the hall raised their heads as if receiving an order.
Then,
The King slowly stood up.
He descended down the stairs.
As his huge body approached step by step,
A terrible aura began to fill the grand hall.
Ying could feel the pressure from his bloodline growing stronger.
So strong that it was even somewhat difficult for him to breathe.
But even though his body seemed to be drained of all strength, and he might be forced to kneel under the pressure of his bloodline at any moment,
Ying still stubbornly stood in place.
He understood,
This might be the King’s test.
Compared to him,
There came a series of thudding sounds from behind him as everyone else lost their balances, leading to silence eventually.
In the end,
King stood before Ying.
And Ying, already pale and soaked in sweat,
His body was shaky and about to collapse.
“You’re doing well.”
Praise echoed from above his head.
As the words fell,
The pressure vanished in an instant.
Frantic breaths filled the air.
Oddly,
In such a situation,
A strange question echoed in Ying’s mind.
Do these powerful Heavenly People still need to breathe, such a low-level vital function?
This thought merely flashed through his mind.
Before he could even give it much thought,
He was captivated by King’s words along with the other people’s relics.
“Do you know what this place is?”
With a smile on his face,
King seemed to act as if the terrible pressure from before never existed.
Without waiting for anyone to guess, he continued to speak.
“This is the World Core.”
“It’s the dwelling place of planetary consciousness.”
World Core?
Planetary consciousness?
What are these?
Clueless expressions filled everyone’s faces.
Because they had never come across, nor heard of such terms before.
“World consciousness originates from intelligent life.”
“When intelligent life is born on a planet, their mental power is tightly connected to that planet.”
“Their memories, emotions, all their thoughts converge, until they coalesce into a previously unseen and immensely vast force.”
“That is world consciousness.”
“As for now, you can call it the human consciousness aggregate.”
King slowly raised his head.
He gazed at the mists enveloping the grand hall.
The corners of his lips curled,
His eyes filled with excitement.
It seemed as if through the mists, he saw other beings.
Beings that were his prey.
At that very moment,
The unconsciously revealed battle intention made all the Heavenly People present feel the heaviness in their hearts.
Even their qi drained away at an alarming rate.
“The World Core is the habitat of world consciousness.”
“This place is not a reality, but a projection of it.”
“Only under a unique opportunity can one enter here.”
Realizing his emotions were exposed,
King retracted his gaze and lowered his head.
When facing his clansmen, he didn’t show any aggressiveness.
Instead,
There was only indulgence like that of a child.
He looked at the Heavenly People with a smile,
“Our existence as Heavenly People and our strength have been granted by the Supreme Demon.”
“If it weren’t for this powerful being, we would have been either completely engulfed by Homo sapiens or extinct tens of thousands of years ago.”
“The Supreme Demon granted us strength, allowing our bloodline to ascend and presented us with a brand new road.”
A road?
Ying held his breath, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Perhaps,
Next, King would reveal the purpose of the Heavenly People.
