Now his eyes didn't look like human eyes, because there was no emotion in them. The two star-shaped eyeballs with dilated pupils were more like two extremely sharp and smooth lenses.
The dilation of his pupils was only a small part of the changes in Anfortas' body. Unlike the outside, his body began to undergo earth-shaking changes as the fusion progressed.
The most striking thing was the expressionless face of Anfortas. His face was blurred, and countless different faces appeared from nowhere and then stuck to his face.
Countless expressionless faces overlapped and then gradually merged. Anfortas' exposed facial features also began to change as his face melted.
The eyebrows deepened, the lips became thinner, the fat on the face was shaved off, and the pupils in the eyes became clearer...
If there is a former Kanreya scholar here, he will be surprised to find a standard Kanreya person appearing before him.
He/she has regular facial features and shining pupils shaped like crosses. It is impossible to tell whether he/she is a man/woman, but one can recognize him/her as a Kanreya at a glance.
This guy seemed to have all the striking features of the Kanriya people mixed into his face, both male and female.
It doesn't look ugly, but it's a little creepy. The facial features are not really put together properly, and they still retain some unique characteristics of others, so it looks strange.
It is these "insignificant" characteristics that ruin his face shape and make his facial features look not perfectly coordinated.
"Consciousness body..., confirmed to invade consciousness." Raising his hand, Kanreya saw that his arms were like his face, with countless arms overlapping and finally forming a standard Kanreya arm.
Similarly, the arms have the same shortcomings as the face - there are some inharmonious features on the arms.
After looking for a while, Kan Ruiya put down his arms. He already understood his situation.
The more people merge, the fewer characteristics that do not belong to oneself. When he truly has no characteristics at all and is all commonality, it means that the souls of all people have reached perfect harmony.
Then, "transcendence" will be within reach. So, he is now on the road to seeking transcendence.
[Analysis...]
[Parsing failed...]
Commonality, perfect sameness.
As soon as he thought of his own way to transcendence, he saw perfect coordination.
The ruins are in disarray, the sky is strange and beautiful. From the outside, everything here seems so disordered, as if it was randomly kneaded and broken up by someone.
But the more disorder there is outside, the heavier the pressure on Kanriya's heart becomes - he has emotions, but they must be consistent with everyone's emotions.
The messy appearance here is just an illusion. After countless deductions and analyses, Kanriya always gets the same result, and it is the same every time.
This only shows one result - the bottom layer of this world is determined by only one law.
Or maybe... this world is just a projection from a higher individual.
His breathing became heavier, and countless beads of sweat oozed out of Kanriya's forehead. This was the only time that everyone's emotions were the same, and it was also the only time he felt something like "emotion".
But now Kanriya had no time to appreciate what "emotion" was, and he started walking again.
The scene before him was beyond everyone's expectations. The previous purpose had been completely forgotten, and now Kanriya had only one goal - to quietly leave this consciousness.
He looked at the gloomy sky, struggled internally for a few times, but finally lowered his head and continued walking.
Although he didn't know why Yu Jin hadn't found him yet, there was one thing Kan Ruiya understood, that was he would definitely be discovered if he tried to escape by force.
Even without mentioning the embers, the guys around him could see the stirring of consciousness. Gods and dragons might not be good at things at the consciousness level, but just a simple consciousness shock was enough to make him suffer.
In the thick ashes, a long trail was carved. Kanriya didn't know how long he had walked, but it was far from the point where he gave up.
Perhaps, not everything here is consistent. Perhaps in a farther place, the "unidirectionality" of this world will be destroyed, and he can try to sneak out.
After a while, Kan Ruiya paused, because a gully of unknown depth appeared in front of him.
But this did not attract his attention. He looked at the isolated island standing in the abyss opposite him and felt relieved.
The essence of the space there is no longer the original result, but a pile of gibberish without any rules.
The dull pupils regained color instantly, and the handsome but somewhat creepy face gradually faded away, replaced by the fleshy face of Anfortas.
"call!"
Anfortas' body trembled unconsciously. He looked at the isolated island shrouded in clouds and mist in front of him and remained silent.
"I am the marshal..."
【Come on, Marshal! 】
The voice in his head cheered for Anfortas. Although it was cheering, Anfortas felt inexplicably irritated.
He waved his hand, then walked towards the rock bridge next to him that spanned the isolated island and this place with a determined look on his face.
"Remember to send me Intivat when you visit my grave next year."
……
There was a narrow road under his feet and abysses on both sides. Amfortas walked carefully all the way and finally crossed the ravine and reached the other side.
When he looked up, he saw a scene that was very familiar to him.
Weapons stuck in the ground, torn flags, countless missing flames, and the pungent smell of blood and burnt smoke...
There was no doubt that this was a battlefield. As the marshal of Kanreya, Anfortas was very familiar with this scene.
"Hey, someone is coming."
There was a sound, and Anfortas looked around, but saw no one.
"Where are you looking? Here?"
Anfortas felt a dampness in his trouser legs, and when he looked down, he saw that the ground at his feet had sunk without him noticing.
In the sunken ground, a shiny black object had already climbed up to his ankles. The damp feeling just now was caused by this object.
"Wow. He actually changed his soul. I didn't expect to catch one with a string."
A chill ran from under his feet straight to Anfortas's head. Even though there were flames burning everywhere, he still shivered in an instant.
This kind of coldness is not a sense of touch, but a kind of coldness that comes from the bottom of the heart, just like facing the darkest part of one's heart.
"Your connection is a bit crude. You are just kneading everyone's souls together. This will cause great losses."
A deep voice came from under my feet again, the voice seemed a little comfortable, but also a little sarcastic.
When Anfortas heard this, he seemed to remember something. He widened his eyes and roared out.
"Disconnect!"
"Hahaha, it's too late, accept the defilement!!!"
Anfortas' eyes suddenly went dark, and then his body collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Hehehe, accept the defilement!!!"
This was the last sentence Anfortas heard, and also the first sentence that came from outside the consciousness space in his mind.
"The sound...came from outside..."
"The Marshal..."
"what is that!"
In the pure white space of consciousness, a streak of black suddenly clung to it. The black was constantly devouring the border. At first, it was only at the edge of the space of consciousness, but at some point, it instantly broke through the barrier and rushed into this space of consciousness.
The dark and sticky waves crashed over, swallowing up countless flashing points of light in the blink of an eye.
At first, these spots of light kept fleeing, but the area of the dark swamp was getting larger and larger. The people who were fleeing immediately realized one thing - if they continued to run away, they would definitely be swallowed up without leaving any trace.
【Consciousness merges, fight against this thing! 】
The remaining spots of light reached a consensus in an instant, they moved back and forth and merged into one, and a "person" was gradually born.
However, it was not only the light spots that were not swallowed that flew over. Those light spots that were already in the dark quagmire also broke away from the mud and merged into the Kanreya that was being formed.
"call……"
Kanriya's body was half illusory and half dark, and the darkness kept expanding, making him increasingly powerless.
"Is the road to national restoration over?" I don't know if it was Kanriya who was sighing or the people among them who were sighing.
His eyelids grew heavier and his limbs became so weak that he couldn't even stand. Kanriya could only watch as the spreading quagmire swallowed him up.
"Connecting everyone together? Only someone who has never seen the consciousness poison disease would do that."
A deep, mocking voice was heard; this was the last sound Kanriya heard.
……
"Heh, heh, heh! Defile! Defile!"
"Snapped!"
"Ouch!"
Yu Jin saw Youshen crawling on top of Anfortas and squirming, muttering words like "defilement", and he beat him till the mud flew everywhere.
"I noticed that you are learning from the snow-eating man in the sewers of the royal city quite quickly." Yu Jin said in a somewhat unfriendly tone.
Defilement, this is what a very ugly guy in the sewer of the royal city likes to mutter.
How ugly is he? Uglier than Ember, and more importantly, he doesn't have Ember's sunshine in his heart. He hides in the sewer all day long, either thinking about sticking the horns on his armor into other people's bodies or thinking about eating snow.
Anyway, when Ember knew his name was "Dung Eater", he was very surprised. Then, Ember gave Dung Eater a bunch of chocolates, and then he was chased and chopped by Dung Eater, and then Dung Eater also became part of the snack.
Why don't dung eaters eat snacks? This is a question that Yu Jin still hasn't figured out.
"You didn't get infected by Xiaojian, did you?" Yu Jin suddenly thought of a possibility. He looked at Youshen with doubt. The power of Soul Five was so strong? It could actually infect Youshen!
"Boss, we found their location and the reason for this."
When Yousui saw Yujin's look, he immediately changed the subject. Although he didn't have the sense of touch of a normal human, he couldn't accept snacks anyway!
"Talk about it!"
As expected, Yu Jin's attention was diverted.
"They are located underground here." Yousui recalled what he had seen, and the mud began to wriggle. After a while, a map appeared on the mud.
"awesome!"
When Yu Jin saw the map, he immediately clapped his hands. The reason was that it was on the upper right side of Mondstadt... the bottom of the sea.
