Chapter 546: Legend of the Soul Saint in Holy Soul Village (Supplement )
Are insects flying...?
Hearing the song hummed by Liko, Zhou Qing's mind came back to his senses from the depression, his eyes slightly condensed, and he had more speculations about the town of Abyss, which preserved more ancient materials than other places, and the human ancestors of the entire Douluo Continent.
For a while.
The bunny girl also recovered, let go of Riko, wiped away her tears, and said, "Thank you."
Then she continued to tell the story about Namiqi.
After going to the fourth floor, Namichi's tragedy really began. Between the brief joy of the birth of her child and the pain of the child being taken away, killed, and eaten, the despair gradually caused Namichi to collapse.
Gradually, Namichi's body began to grow in a non-human direction. The human form gradually disappeared and turned into a tall, round, vase-shaped sphere. A huge hole formed where the child was originally born, and the facial features gradually disappeared. The two eyes turned into black holes, one on each side of the huge hole.
Romantina suddenly remembered something and said, "This tree house looks like Namichi?"
"OK."
The bunny girl nodded, "This tree house was remodeled based on the image of Namichi."
"Then?"
Rico asked.
"After that, everyone ate Namichi's children and survived tenaciously. Every day, they collected the bones of floating animals in the Dead Sea to build a ship that could take everyone to the fourth-level steel base."
Namichi still had a faint smile on her face.
"However, this is not easy, because no one dares to go to the sea, and most of the skeletons that can float on the ocean are relatively fragile. Only the skeletons of a few monsters can be used as materials for making boats, so this is a long process."
"Finally, one day, someone broke down and, feeling guilty about Namichi, jumped into the ocean of corpses and committed suicide."
"The leader realized that he couldn't go on like this, otherwise everyone would become a monster and lose their human nature. But what should he do next?"
"Perhaps the ruins of the abyss still favor us, or perhaps they want to continue to torture us—"
"That Soul Saint who went to explore the lower levels actually came back up! He was covered in blood and had exhausted all his strength. He swam to the shore of the fourth level and was discovered by us... No one knew how many levels he had gone down. But when all of us thought he would not make it, a seed-like object he carried with him emitted a faint light, and it was actually healing his wounds."
"Explorers have pride and will not take things from other living explorers... Under our care, the Soul Saint came back to life. After learning that we helped him, and understanding Namichi's situation and everyone's guilt, he gave us a Heart of Dreams as a reward."
Heart of dreams?
Judging from the fact that the first Dream Heart turned Namichi into a monster, this thing might really be able to make wishes come true, but the way it does so is not exactly what people imagine.
Zhou Qing guessed: "Isn't this second Dream Heart also used on Namichi?" "Yes."
The bunny girl confirmed Zhou Qing's guess, "In order to make up for everyone's guilt, the leader decided to use this dream heart to restore Namichi to her original appearance."
"But according to legend, no one has ever used two Dream Hearts... and after that, Namichi's body expanded again, occupying nearly one-tenth of the Dead Sea. There is also a space inside her body that can be inhabited by people, but once you enter, you will lose your human form and become an alien."
"Perhaps this is a curse from Namichi, who has lost her self-consciousness, on all those who ate her children. After becoming mutants, everyone did not gain overly powerful powers. On the contrary, most people lost some memories, and their bodies were not very symmetrical. They were still affected by the ascending curse, but they retained the purest emotions."
"Moreover, the space has its own rules. If the mutants want to survive, they must pay a corresponding value, that is, equal exchange. No matter what they get, they must pay. If they want to live in Namichi's body and get protection, they must pay a price. In other words, the mutants try every means to obtain value from the outside world and provide it to Namichi."
"Otherwise, the rules within that space will tear apart the alienated entities that violate the rules of equivalent exchange."
rule?
Equivalent exchange?
Zhou Qing frowned, realizing that this abyss ruins was more dangerous than he had imagined. He even doubted whether the science and technology that originally created this place had reached the level to be able to utilize and create rules.
Two hearts of dreams can transform a human being into an alien body, and also create a space within the body that can transform others into alien bodies, and can also formulate abstract conceptual rules such as "equivalent exchange".
If true, it's incredible!
The bunny girl continued, "All the explorers took the initiative to enter the space inside Namichi's body, feeling guilty about it. Only Na, feeling guilty, didn't dare to look directly at Namichi, so she chose to live alone. Fortunately, she met an explorer named Odin, and begged her to take her to the lower level."
Liko was surprised and asked, "Is that the White Flute Odin?"
"Well, she is still stationed on the second floor, right?" the bunny girl asked nervously.
"Yeah." Liko nodded.
"That's good···"
The bunny girl was somewhat delighted, and then continued to tell her story, "After Namichi went to the fifth floor, she took the initiative to separate from Odin. After all, she was burdened with sins, and she just wanted to escape from the fourth floor. By the way, she wanted to rely on her own strength to find a way to truly restore Namichi and everyone else."
"But no matter how hard I tried, I could only reach the sixth floor in the end... During the ascent, Na fainted on the fourth floor..."
"When Na woke up again, she was lying on Namichi's flesh ball. Her body shape had changed, and she grew rabbit ears and fur... I also became a mutant. And Namichi seemed to still retain a part of consciousness, and conveyed a message to me: she had a real child, a child who was truly alive using her blood and my blood! She has an immortal body and power comparable to that of a Titled Douluo among the outside world's soul masters, but at the same time, she also inherited all the memories of Namichi's pain."
"So, she hates all the mutants living in her mother's body and wants to break through the transparent protective film outside the gate and kill all the explorers who caused her mother pain."
"It was only her mother who protected the explorers, but Namiqi could no longer speak, nor could she transmit spiritual messages... Perhaps, Namiqi's last consciousness was used to create a protective film to prevent me and her daughter from breaking in."
