Chapter 528: The Collapse of the Consciousness World
I don’t know how much time has passed, maybe it was the next second, maybe it was the previous second.
In the long river of time, time itself has no specific definition.
Nan Dou's sea of consciousness was almost filled with external memories, and his self-consciousness floated in the chaotic fragments of memory.
But his body still followed his final obsession and went upstream towards the destined destination.
The world in front of Nan Dou's eyes began to become blurred. Different fragments of memory were like pieces of red-hot irons, splashing broken sparks when they collided with each other.
This caused Nan Dou's world of consciousness to be like water poured into an oil pan, boiling non-stop.
But in this process, the memory fragments merge with each other.
This resulted in unpredictable changes in the originally vast sea of consciousness.
Burning meteorites fell from the sky, hitting the sea surface without stopping.
A loud rumbling sound was heard in the sea, and a huge piece of land rose from the bottom of the sea.
When a meteorite collides with a continent, the spark of life is ignited.
The bare land was gradually covered with a green carpet, and trees began to grow from seeds.
However, this is not the birth of a new world.
The meteorite that was originally burning with flames was frozen in an instant, and when it hit the continent, it brought extreme cold that symbolized death.
Sharp stone pillars rise from the flat continent, symbolizing the frozen plant life.
The ocean surrounding the continent began to heat up rapidly, and the green venom turned the sea water into the most terrible life killer, corroding the continent with the beating of the waves.
The sky is half dark and half day, with falling stars, colorful clouds, and gorgeous auroras...
At this moment, Nan Dou's world of consciousness was like a washing machine with countless colors of dyes poured into it, with completely unexpected changes occurring every moment.
Miniature historical fragments of countless worlds collide with each other, and because the rules between the worlds repel each other, the result is naturally a terrible destruction.
Fortunately, this happened in Nandou's sea of consciousness, not between the real worlds born on the tree of imaginary numbers.
Nan Dou's own consciousness began to become fragmented due to the drastic changes in the sea of consciousness, like a crystal clear gem that broke into countless small pieces, but each piece was connected by a faint golden thread.
Compared with Nan Dou's consciousness, the situation of his sea of consciousness was even more dangerous, and it was gradually collapsing in the endless destruction.
"Hey... failed again?"
In a trance, Nan Dou heard a sigh full of pessimism.
The collapse of his soul made it almost impossible for him to maintain a complete mindset. Before he completely collapsed, Nan Dou suddenly smelled a faint scent of plum blossoms.
Pieces of soul fragments began to shine...
"Who am I? I am..."
A piercing yet familiar chill surged into his heart, and Nan Dou's sluggish thoughts became a little clearer.
"I am Nandou..."
A warm breeze brought the message of freedom, and the sweet and tangy smell of apple cider was enchanting.
"I am the witness and controller of time and destiny..."
A hearty laugh lingered in the ears, and the strong thunder and surging fighting spirit made people's blood boil.
"I am the guardian of Teyvat, the envoy of abundance in the world of Broken Iron..."
As Nan Dou's consciousness became clearer, the fragments of his soul were attracted to the main body and began to gradually merge and recover.
The shining golden light was like a shield that isolated everything, keeping the great destruction in the sea of consciousness out.
With the help of the consciousness anchor in his memory, Nan Dou saved his broken soul from being completely lost.
But this is only temporary. If Nan Dou's soul cannot find a way to resolve the countless fragments of world history that have long been mixed together, it will eventually be lost.
Nan Dou never lacks the determination to die. His belief is extremely firm. He persists, waiting for himself to reach the final destination in the long river of time - a puzzle that symbolizes his last piece of strength.
That fragment, which has sunk into the depths of the long river of time like a stubborn stone over the endless years, is constantly absorbing the power of the long river of time.
When the body dissipates, the soul splits, and the consciousness shatters, the only thing that remains is the bond forged in one's own destiny, which, like an anchor, proves the existence of Nan Dou in the long river of time.
After an unknown amount of time, Nan Dou once again felt the presence of light. To be more precise, his consciousness regained clarity.
“There is light, but why is it so dark around me?”
Nan Dou looked up at the tiny point of light as small as a needle tip. In the endless darkness, his newly awakened consciousness began to fade away again.
"No, I have to get out of here!"
Nan Dou forgot a lot of things, but he instinctively realized that this darkness would swallow him up.
But when he tried to leave, he found that he didn't know how to leave.
He vaguely felt that he had the ability to leave, but no matter what, he just couldn't remember it.
"I remember..."
Just then, a vague voice called softly in his mind.
"Remember what? Remind of whom!"
The change in consciousness made Nan Dou anxious, but he still couldn't remember.
"my name……"
"Who are you? What's your name?!"
Nan Dou forced himself to calm down, not caring about his own dissipation, and tried hard to hear the voice clearly.
This time, he finally heard the name called by the voice.
"I...am...Ouya!"
When the name appeared clearly in Nan Dou's mind, it was like a thunderclap in the clouds, like the first rays of dawn on the horizon. Nan Dou's somewhat scattered spirit instantly gathered and he shouted loudly: "Ou Ya, help me!!!"
"!!!"
In an instant, a soul with a pure white body appeared beside Nan Dou and held his hand tightly.
The gentle look made Nan Dou regain his composure, and the sonorous and powerful voice that made him feel extremely at ease rang softly: "I'm here!"
The pure white soul power turned into ribbon-like wings, carrying Nan Dou and flying quickly towards the location of the light spot.
The surrounding darkness followed in a boiling frenzy, like a hunter whose prey had been stolen.
Nan Dou couldn't see anything, but he could feel that something was staring at him.
A huge black hand appeared out of nowhere in the path the two were flying, and Ou Ya reacted in time to avoid it.
But this was just the beginning. Countless black hands quietly appeared in the darkness, gradually compressing the moving space of Ou Ya and his companions.
Before long, it became difficult for Ouya to dodge. When the white soul ribbon on his body was touched by the black hand, it would turn black as if it was infected by a virus. Ouya had no choice but to give up.
As time went on, Ou Ya's flying speed began to become difficult. Those soul ribbons were her original power, and every time she lost a point, she would become weaker.
However, the light spot was still just a dot in the sight of the two people, as if the distance between them had not changed.
"what should I do?"
There was a rare look of confusion in Nan Dou's eyes, and the helpless look made Ou Ya feel a little unfamiliar.
She knew that this was because Nan Dou's soul was severely damaged and most of his memories were forgotten.
But she didn't. Ou Ya, who had a mission to accomplish, dodged the black hand and looked directly into Nan Dou's eyes: "My strength has reached its limit. If I want to continue, I need the strength of others."
"So, remember it quickly!"
“Nandou!!!”
