Chapter 380 Lao Mo's Heart
Chapter 380 Lao Mo's Heart
"The Night's Watch...is very optimistic...about you..."
"Perhaps there is a place for you in the 'Holy Icon'..."
"If... you have the opportunity to inherit... to inherit the 'Holy Icon'... you must not... refuse..."
"There are not many opportunities left for this... world..."
"We must... grasp it..."
Lin Yi said anxiously: "Lao Mo, you just need to tell me how to help you rebuild your body. I haven't considered the holy image or inheritance! I don't want to think about it either!"
"Stupid... idiot..." Lao Mo gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "I...will not be completely annihilated..."
"After I die... my heart will remain..."
"Before you...leave the bell tower...put...my heart...into...that backpack..."
"My boss and I... have an agreement... This was made... from the beginning..."
"must……"
"You must...put my heart...into the bag...you must..."
"Hey! Lao Mo! Lao Mo!!" But this time, no matter how much he called, Lao Mo turned a deaf ear and focused all his attention on Mu Daxian in the mirror world.
Lin Yi clenched his teeth, not quite understanding what on earth the Daxian Mu carried about Lao Mo that made Lao Mo risk his life to save him.
At a certain point, he even developed some resentment towards Mu Daxian.
But as he focused his attention on Lao Mo, he gradually noticed that Lao Mo's "annihilation" seemed to be different from the annihilation he knew!
The "annihilation" that Lin Yi understood was undoubtedly the same annihilation he encountered when he climbed the stairs. The air wave passed through his body, and part of his body was washed away and annihilated.
As the "feast" in the stadium dome progressed, so did the annihilation of the angry angels.
But now, with Lin Yi's observation and perception, he discovered that Lao Mo's annihilation was not pure annihilation, but more like a... weird extension!
The powder particles that were annihilated from his body did not dissipate, but entered the mirror world that trapped Mu Daxian along a special trajectory!
From another perspective, the annihilation state of Lao Mo's body looked like the particles that made up his body were moving out from his outline, and then seeping into the mirror world bit by bit, as if in layers.
If you superimpose Old Mo, who was annihilated into countless particles, from a suitable perspective, you will find that only a limited part of his body has dissipated.
He is like an anchor. The part that has penetrated into the mirror world is the constantly sinking anchor, and his body is like the chain of the anchor. As the anchor sinks, fewer and fewer chains are left on the hull. If it cannot be retrieved, he will lose that part completely.
Lao Mo's body was not destroyed by the air waves of the "temple", but with the help of the power of the air waves of the "altar", his body penetrated through that layer in a form that seemed to be annihilated.
Perhaps it was impossible to jump to another level here or for some other reasons, Lao Mo finally chose to save Mu Daxian.
What really caused Lao Mo's body to begin to be annihilated and lost forever was the increasingly corrosive "sea water" as the anchor sank - the erosion and consumption of the layer.
With Lao Mo's rescue, Mu Daxian gradually left the mirror world, and as he "floated up", the originally fragmented body gradually shortened the distance between each other, as if it was beginning to rebuild its own body.
However, it seems that this process will take some time.
Gradually, Lao Mo's torso began to become riddled with holes as he was annihilated. He looked like a castle built of sand, being blown away bit by bit by the wind.
His chest gradually disappeared, revealing his sternum.
His sternum... seemed to be broken, with cracks that had not yet healed, and beneath that section of bone was a slowly beating, living yet strange heart.
A heart surrounded by a golden aura and faintly emitting a strange glow.
"Seven-hole exquisite heart"
When seeing this heart, this thought popped up in Lin Yi's mind.
"If the 'Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart' in Investiture of the Gods really existed, it would probably look like this, right?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be stunned. Bigan in "The Investiture of the Gods" was described as having extraordinary insight and perception. After wiping out the fox demons in Xuanyuan Tomb, he made them into clothes... Looking at these strange techniques, could it be that Bigan is also a chef in a black bib?
Thinking about it this way, the fact that Daji wanted Bi Gan's heart could be interpreted in a darker and more sinister way...
At the same time, the weakening of the "Holy Temple"'s energy waves caught his attention.
He quickly looked at the night watchman and called out softly, "02, are you back?"
Seeing that the night watchman did not react, Lin Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He knew it was time for him to "hold on for a while".
In his mind he reviewed what the night watchman had told him.
"Don't worry about anything, just transmit your golden aura to the Holy Hall..."
"If the aftershocks of the Holy Temple are exhausted, you will strike the Holy Temple for me. Just once at most..."
"It doesn't matter how loud it is, I just need to make its vibration continue..."
"'02' probably meant that I should do everything I can to keep the 'Sanctuary' running and ensure that it continues to release that kind of energy..."
After Lin Yi finished thinking, he took a deep breath, left the bottom of the "Temple", and slowly walked to the side of the night watchman.
He once doubted whether he had the ability to exercise the authority of the Night Watch, but he did not doubt the Night Watch's confidence in him.
The night watchman has described it in such detail, so there will be no problem if he does it. The pot is handed over to you, but you don't need to be the chef. You just need to turn it over at the critical moment. That's all. It shouldn't be difficult... right?
He looked towards the "Holy Temple". This quantum bell was so huge that when he stood in front of it, he felt a sense of awe, like an ant trying to shake a tree, at the thought of ringing the bell with his mortal body.
Even for him, touching the "Holy Temple" was already the limit, and wanting to shake it was simply a pipe dream.
"Try to replenish the golden aura first."
Lin Yi made up his mind and began to approach the "Holy Temple".
However, the "holy temple" that was so close seemed to exude an aura that kept strangers away, and it blocked Lin Yi only three meters away from him.
"How could this happen? I don't even have the qualifications to get close to it?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but feel frustrated. The strange patterns on the surface of the "Holy Temple" were flowing with mysterious ripples, as if they were the afterglow of ancient times that has been flickering to this day.
A feeling of rebellion rose in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and rushed towards the invisible field of the "Holy Temple".
What a joke! How can you refuel when the gas pump can't even reach the tank?
As soon as Lin Yi entered the invisible barrier, his body began to decompose at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if he had fallen into a pool of sulfuric acid.
The pain that could not be expressed in words corroded his soul in an instant and almost devoured his will. His body was soon broken, but he was still approaching the "Temple".
The sky-blue aura flowed endlessly in his body, constantly repairing his body.
The scene in front of Lin Yi's eyes continued to collapse and change. He knew that this was not annihilation, but a kind of infiltration!
The invisible barrier of the "Holy Temple" impacted his body into many layers, and his shattered perspective was a mixture of many layers.
He stared at the giant quantum clock in front of him and the patterns on it, so as to prevent his will from being affected by the "Holy Temple".
In that space filled with a sense of collapse, a corner of the "holy temple" was floating quietly. The outline of that corner seemed to come from ancient memories. The body of the bell actually showed a deep and dark blue color that was not observed at first glance, as if it condensed the mysteries of the endless universe.
The body of the bell was engraved with ancient and complex secret patterns. Beyond the secret patterns, there was also a layer of immaterial illusory light and shadow floating...
He had seen these secret patterns before, but as the distance got closer, he found that the illusory secret patterns floating on the surface of the "Holy Temple" were actually flowing with light, just like a circuit board of some mysterious technology that was far ahead of the current world...
The secret patterns one after another echoed each other, forming a very logical halo. They kept moving at a stable but slow speed, following the fluctuations of the air waves. Each halo seemed to represent an unknown time dimension or information frequency.
In the center of the "Holy Temple", there is a core emitting strange light. The space layer around the core seems to be in infinite collapse and repair. Along with this strange relationship of life and death, layers of power are accumulated in the secret patterns on the bell body. Some of the power that seeps out radiates outward from the core, interweaving and reflecting with the rotating halo, and occasionally bursting out pulses of light, merging into the world of the bell tower.
The "Church" itself is also extremely strange. It is sometimes solid and sometimes illusory, as if it is a dynamic structure interwoven by light and shadow. Sometimes it is like a crystal that has been deconstructed and reassembled. Countless facets constantly refract brilliant light in the process of rhythm. These lights are like laser beams, projecting complex and changeable geometric patterns on the ground below the "Church", sometimes piecing together into mysterious interstellar maps, and sometimes turning into quantum matrices that are difficult to decipher.
The position corresponding to the matrix was where Lin Yi had sat cross-legged before.
From this angle, the place where Lin Yi was originally sitting seemed to be wrapped in a layer of energy field that was almost invisible. Countless tiny auras flickered in the energy field. These auras kept jumping and flickering, as if they were some kind of signal that had penetrated from ancient times, writing its trajectory through the air waves of the "Holy Temple", transmitting some special information to the world.
"Is this what the 'Church' really looks like?"
"Or is it that even so, it's just the tip of the iceberg?"
Lin Yi was deeply shocked by this perfect and magnificent creation. He could not imagine that such a divine object of extraordinary craftsmanship could be an extraordinary creation created by the power of human civilization!
He couldn't help but wonder, what kind of people were those who were called the "first apostles"?
Do they really still belong to the category of human beings? !
Or maybe... "God"?
Lin Yi was deeply attracted by the secret patterns on the "Holy Temple", and when he forgot that he was being attacked by the invisible barrier of the "Holy Temple", his body no longer disappeared.
This is a magical process, as if “I understand, so I am no longer afraid, and I will not be hurt by you”.
He finally crossed the three-meter space and arrived in front of the "Holy Temple".
He just stood there, the air waves from the "temple" slowly pushed over his body, like a breeze blowing through the treetops, making his clothes float slightly.
"Holy Temple..." He murmured to himself, with a glimmer of piety in his eyes. He just looked at the secret pattern, like a mortal attracted by the light, looking at the miracle that suddenly descended from the sky.
He felt something, like a call, like a whisper, like an ancient greeting, which finally reached his ears across time.
His hands trembled slightly as he slowly placed them on the surface of the clock.
“Hum…”
When the bell body was touched lightly, it trembled slightly, accompanied by a touch as cold as polar ice. A mysterious wave was also released from the surface of the "temple".
Lin Yi felt as if a hole had been opened for the golden aura in his body, and it poured into the "Holy Hall".
Soon, a strong feeling of weakness enveloped him.
“No way… can this be called ‘just like being absorbed by Old Mo’?!”
Lin Yi wanted to curse, but he couldn't even open his mouth. The suction power of "The Holy Temple" was extremely terrifying. If Lao Mo was drawing blood from a vein, then "The Holy Temple" was sucking directly from his arteries. And it was not just an ordinary suction, but like a vampire, it bit the strongest and most powerful carotid artery at the neck, and then drank it all in one gulp!
Lao Mo is a "human" after all, and he knows his limits, but the "Holy Temple" is not a human being. It started to make a lot of attacks, and in less than half a minute, Lin Yi turned into a sickly appearance of skin and bones.
He pursed his lips tightly, the veins beneath his skin were exposed, and he could not utter a word except for the "humming" sound.
"If you keep going like this... you'll definitely die!"
"My body...what are you going to do?"
Lin Yi is very self-aware. He knows clearly that with his current level, he cannot control the golden aura at will, but his body instinct can do it!
