Chapter 503: Reflection of a World's Past
The first question that Ranran prepared was to reduce the flower eater's vigilance."Before I went to sleep last night, I thought carefully about what you said, sir."
“After all three stages are completed, the world eroded by the Horror Hole will become what the Flower Eater is now—an amusement park that allows aliens to visit.”
The Flower Eater's eyebrows twitched when he heard this. Ran Ran's words showed no reverence for him as a god.
Isn’t it that the world that belittles Him is also belittles Him!
But Ran Ran added, "My description may be inappropriate, I hope you don't mind, sir."
How could He not mind? But even if He minds, there is nothing He can do!
Before he fully understands what the Cave Consciousness wants for Ran Ran, he cannot touch Ran Ran casually.
This is also the reason why Ran Ran dares to confront Him alone.
As long as the Flower Eater is not so angry that she loses her mind and logic, the situation is still under her control.
"You have some understanding of the situation in our world, my lord. The three stages have not yet been completed. Terror hole erosion is still occurring, and there are terror holes of all sizes everywhere."
"According to you, sir, each Terror Hole is connected to a world that has been completely eroded by the Terror Hole consciousness, but I have experienced a world that is different from the world of [Flower Eater]..."
“There’s no sense of the real world, everything in it is stiff and distorted.”
The flower eater figured out what Ran Ran wanted to know and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Is this what you want to know?"
“Why are some worlds connected by horror caves so unreal?”
Ran Ran nodded, carefully observing the changes in the flower eater's expression.
After the surprise faded away, a hint of disdain and contempt gradually sank into His eyes.
"It's very simple, because those worlds have reached the end of extinction, and the Horror Cave Consciousness is just a reproduction of a corner of that world."
Ran Ran suddenly realized, "Can I understand that the world power of those worlds has been completely absorbed by the Horror Cave Consciousness?"
The Flower Eater's eyes suddenly lit up, "That's right, you are really smart!"
"How did you come to this conclusion from just one sentence of mine?"
Ran Ran said calmly: "I just use universal logic to understand the behavior of the horror cave. Just like everything in our world, there are always reasons for its development and changes."
"Whether it's subjective will or an instinct that has evolved over a long period of time."
"If we consider the Horror Hole consciousness to be of the same kind, then their continuous expansion and erosion in the universe, and their arrival on one world after another, are nothing more than these two possibilities."
"Whether it is the former or the latter, they always need to gain something from this expansion and erosion. The only answer that comes to my mind is also the only power that they covet in other worlds..."
"There is only world power."
"You are very smart, evil boy." The Flower Eater's face showed some appreciation. "If you were my people, you would definitely become a special person that I love very much."
It seemed like this was a great honor for Ranran.
Ran Ran did not respond, and the Flower Eater interpreted this silence as fear after fully understanding the logic of the erosion of the Terror Cave.
"You think it's scary, don't you? Such a powerful force is circulating between the worlds. Every time a world is completely eroded by the consciousness of the Terror Cave, its power will become stronger."
"One world after another dimmed, becoming a black star that would never shine again in the vast universe, while the fear hole consciousness became stronger and stronger, leaving no life unscathed wherever it went."
Ran Ran listened silently before speaking, "It is indeed scary." "But not as scary as you, sir."
The flower eater paused, "Me? What's so scary about me?"
Ran Ran said calmly, "My Lord, did you know this after you agreed to cooperate with the Cave of Horror, or before?"
The flower eater did not answer immediately, but Ran Ran already knew the answer. She said faintly, "That's why I said you are scary, sir."
"You clearly knew how terrifying the Terror Cave Consciousness was, yet you still chose to cooperate with it."
"If I'm right, this will speed up the end of the world, right?"
"So what?" The flower eater was stunned for a long time, and suddenly sneered, "Instead of living a mediocre life forever, it is better to try your best to grow into the most beautiful one."
"Just like flowers, I have no interest in raising these buds that wilt forever. I just want to see the flowers bloom under my hands."
"Even if the price of this blooming is a rapid death?" Ran Ran asked suddenly.
"Death is inevitable!" The flower eater suddenly raised his voice, which actually had an impact on Ranran's spiritual world.
He was talking to himself, not noticing Ran Ran's pale face. "The power of the Horror Cave Consciousness is so strong that no world can survive from them! I made such a wise plan because I realized this!"
"If it weren't for my wise decision, those people down there would still be foolishly cutting wood and washing clothes with river water! It's me who brought development to this world!"
He suddenly moved closer to Ran Ran, and his pair of eyes that belonged to a god were now as sinister as the cold pupils of a wild beast.
Ranran could not see any divinity or kindness in it.
The Flower Eater said in a low voice: "The current situation is the best. At least before facing death, this world can be at its most beautiful."
Ran Ran sneered in his heart. He insisted on having his own way and let the whole world be buried with him. Is this the best way forward?
She was thankful that the world power of their world did not choose a god to rule them.
Otherwise, how absurd would the Blue Planet become?
God? In her opinion, it was more like a clown performing a one-man show on the stage, but his acting skills were so good that he deceived the audience.
The terrifying cave called "Minglong Road" that we experienced before was a projection of a corner of a world that has disappeared. So who is Luo Minglin?
Is it a ghost from that disappeared world, or some unlucky guy from their world?
Ranran recalled the original incident record distributed by the Terror Cave after she successfully survived from [The Road to the Silkworm]. She had always thought that the prototype introduced in it was on Blue Star, but now it seems that she had taken it for granted.
This was probably why she hated gods like the Flower Eater.
She couldn't treat the world as an object to be played with at will.
She was destined to see the joys and sorrows of everyone among them, and she couldn't help but care about them, just like she couldn't help but think of Luo Minglin in "The Silkworm Road" and "Mako" in the real world at this moment.
Ran Ran hid the coldness in her eyes and looked up at the flower eater, "This is your world. It is not my place as an outsider to comment on what you do."
Her happy and seemingly nonchalant look made the flower eater feel less resentful.
He believes that what He chooses is absolutely correct and will not allow others to interfere.
Even if it is a bad child, it is not allowed.
