Chapter 446: Virtual Universe

At this moment, a ray of light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and then, a familiar figure appeared in front of Li Yang.

"Li Yang."

The figure called.

Li Yang turned his head and looked at him.

The moment he saw her, he was shocked: "Demeter?"

"No...you don't seem to be the Demeter of my timeline..."

The man smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, we have met before, have you forgotten?"

"In the gap of time...you and I also had a period of communication."

"I have observed everything that happened on your side... To be honest, this is the most special of all the timelines I know of so far."

"I see long-lost hope in you..."

"Maybe this time, I can use your world to create a truly happy ending."

Li Yang nodded, and then asked with some confusion:

"You haven't told me about the [epidemic] before. What's going on?"

Demeter was stunned for a moment, then shook her head:

"I'm sorry, in my timeline, the problems you are facing did not appear."

"I said, for some reason, the timeline you are in is not something I can observe. What I know is limited to the information I got from peeking into your past."

"However, I will continue to work hard and hope to find a breakthrough as soon as possible."

Li Yang pondered for a moment and sighed slowly:

"It seems we can only fumble forward on our own..."

Demeter nodded: "Anyway, hope is still there, and I will continue to help you in my own way."

"I'll try to observe your timeline again. Maybe I can find something from it."

After saying that, she disappeared into the void again, leaving Li Yang still thinking.

Just as Li Yang was about to leave this desolate planet, suddenly, a weak signal appeared within his range of perception.

Although this signal was so weak that it was almost difficult to detect, Li Yang still captured it keenly.

He narrowed his eyes and carefully discerned the source of the signal.

After a moment, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"It seems...T?"

After quickly adjusting the coordinates, Li Yang opened a crack without hesitation and teleported towards that direction.

Li Yang teleported in the direction of the source of the signal, and a vast expanse of void soon appeared in front of him.

There is nothing here except the gurgling energy currents and nebulae.

Just as he was about to move on, the signal was suddenly interrupted.

Li Yang frowned, was it just an illusion?

At this moment, a ray of light suddenly bloomed in front of him, causing him to narrow his eyes.

Then, the light dimmed, and what appeared in front of him was a huge irregular sphere.

The surface of this sphere is full of pits and cracks, like a planet about to be destroyed, but its size is completely beyond Li Yang's understanding.

The entire sphere was shrouded in a faint blue energy film, faintly revealing the unfathomable darkness inside.

"Is this...the thing that Datta said?"

Li Yang's heart moved, and he was about to get closer to observe. Suddenly, a huge crack appeared on the surface of the sphere, and ferocious black branches protruded from the inside, like a greedy giant stretching out its fangs.

At the same time, a distant and unfamiliar voice came from my ears:

"Careful! This is what we're up against...target."

Although the voice was distant, the words were solemn, as if he was trying his best to suppress the fear and uneasiness in his heart.

Li Yang was startled and immediately realized:

"T? Where are you?"

"I can't reveal the exact location, but it's within this sphere."

T's voice is a little choppy,

"Don't come here. This sphere is a spore of the 'Blight', and it was temporarily blocked by me with a sealing barrier. I am out of danger, and I only communicate like this after receiving your signal."

"That's it." Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief and asked again:

"What exactly is this 'epidemic'? Why is it so powerful? Datta told us some, but many details are still unknown."

There was a little hesitation in T's voice: "This world does not belong to you, but is a testing ground for the existence of higher life forms..."

"Proving ground?" Li Yang was stunned, but quickly reacted, "According to what Data said, you came from the wider universe outside and were sent to deal with this 'epidemic'?"

"Yes, I do not belong to this world." T's voice paused, as if he was organizing his words.

"The vast outer universe is called the real dimension. And the world you are in can be regarded as a testing ground for the real dimension, a fictional space that does not really exist."

"There are many worlds like this. In order to deeply study the rules and operation of the world, external advanced civilizations have invested various materials and energies here, and even evolved life."

"After that, what you call authority came into existence, and then gods...races and other existences were born."

"Your world is regarded as a stage of unlimited potential. Let us observe various possibilities."

"It's just that... no one expected that this experiment would produce such an uncontrollable monster - a disease."

"And it's not even an exception."

"In tens of thousands of fictional universes, after their internal civilizations developed to a certain stage, this disaster called epidemic broke out at the same time."

"Some of them have even directly affected the outside world."

Li Yang remained silent.

This seemingly distant thing in front of him turned out to be the root of the evil that lies across the entire world...

"T, can you tell me more about the epidemic?"

"That thing..." T was silent for a while, and then said, "This existence seems to be a rejection reaction to the entire fictional space."

"Just like this space is the body of life, and the epidemic is the antibody, which must eliminate all foreign matter in the body."

"It can infinitely devour the energy of all existence, and then continue to derive its own kind."

"As long as they are left alone, these things can easily devour the fictional space, and then reproduce everything in the fictional space on the outside... .”

“In order to prevent this from happening, the outside world had to do its best to block and isolate them and control them within a limited range.”

“However, the epidemic emerged too quickly and gradually reached an uncontrollable point.”

“The outside civilization spent an unimaginable price to finally maintain the status quo and had no time to take the next step.”

“So you are the one who was sent to solve the existence of the epidemic in this space?”

“Yes, my mission is to destroy or seal this force.”

“But it is too powerful, I can only take a roundabout way and block a tiny branch of it first to prevent the chain reaction from spreading.”
