Chapter 695: The Real Enemy
Okay, the expected answer.
Li Yang sighed slightly, and Ella beside him suggested:
"Let's split up, so that the efficiency will be higher."
Li Yang frowned slightly, and seemed a little hesitant: "Split up? Are you sure?"
Ella interrupted him: "Don't worry, I will take care of myself."
"Besides, we don't have a better way for the time being, right?"
Li Yang shrugged slightly and had to agree with Ella's suggestion:
"Okay, if you need help, just come to me."
Ella smiled and nodded: "Well, of course, I will be careful."
The two immediately began to split up and explore around in this slightly strange space.
Every fragment floating in the space is the object of Li Yang's observation.
Through the remaining information in those broken worlds, perhaps the last impression of [heart] in them can be found.
Suddenly, a fragment attracted his attention.
The scene shown in that fragment made Li Yang feel extremely familiar.
That place looked like a very beautifully decorated library, with endless bookshelves and countless books neatly arranged.
From the window of the library, you can see many familiar buildings standing in a row.
Some huge devices specially developed to fight against [Gods] stand on the nearby hills, looking quite spectacular.
"This is..." Li Yang muttered to himself, "the library of [Tongxuansi]?"
"What universe's memory is left in this fragment?"
He tentatively reached out to touch the fragment.
In an instant, a lot of information poured into his mind.
This is his past.
However, it is only a part of it.
The picture flashed quickly, and Li Yang tried to grasp every detail.
He saw himself standing with several familiar gods, fighting against the old face he had seen not long ago, seeing the universe collapsing, and seeing the despair that spread throughout the universe at the last moment...
"What on earth is this..." Li Yang was a little surprised, and his brows furrowed.
Before he could fully understand, a scream suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"Tsk... something will happen as expected."
Li Yang immediately recognized that it was Ella's voice.
Then, without a moment's hesitation, he quickly rushed in the direction of the voice, his thoughts were extremely complicated.
When he arrived at the scene, he saw Ella surrounded by a mass of black matter.
The mass of matter kept changing its shape, as if trying to devour Ella.
"Ella!" Li Yang shouted, and then raised his hand to hold the black hole created by [World Devourer].
He originally wanted to use the gravity of the black hole to devour the unknown mass of matter.
But the subsequent development was completely beyond his expectations.
Not only did the black hole not actively burst out gravity, it even began to disperse and dissipate in all directions.
It seemed that the gravity of the surrounding space was more terrifying than the black hole!
Then, the mass of black matter suddenly expanded and enveloped Li Yang.
In the darkness, Li Yang heard a familiar voice:
"Little bug, actually hid here?"
Li Yang was shocked and recognized the voice.
He had also heard this voice in his fantasy not long ago and in his memory even earlier!
This was the voice of the unknown old man...
The guy who destroyed the entire material world, forced the system to risk chaos and collapse, and stored everything as data.
"What on earth are you?" Li Yang asked into the void without seeing the guy's location.
The old man's voice was full of sarcasm:
"Who am I? Does it matter?"
"Even if you understand everything, you can't change anything."
"The destruction of the world is a foregone conclusion... and you, even if you try your best, are just wasting my time."
"Instead of being silent in the false world, it is better to come out early and destroy it all..."
Li Yang was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Hehe... you distort reality and even distort your own memory?"
The old voice continued,
"I want to end it all, but you try to survive."
"But you can't do anything... little bug..."
"The only thing you can do is to make a hole in the universe, get in, and try your best to delay and waste my time."
Li Yang frowned, and his eyes were also covered with a layer of anger.
But before Li Yang could speak, the guy's voice sounded again:
"Keep hiding... It's best to sink into your false world and never come out..."
"Otherwise, I will definitely make you pay the price."
The guy on the opposite side seemed to be unable to do anything to him now.
Li Yang suddenly smiled with relief and said calmly: "Why, what qualifications do you have to define what is false?"
The voice on the other side paused for a moment, and then there was a burst of laughter:
"Why, haven't you discovered it yet?"
"The world you are in, as well as the people and things around you, are all created by you to escape reality!"
"You think you are saving the world? In fact, you are just deceiving yourself!"
"Everything around you is just a piece of rotten and smelly data!"
If it was before he came into contact with the [Database], Li Yang would probably be really fooled by this statement.
But now, he already knew everything.
He seemed calmer than ever at this moment.
Facing the arrogant voice, he just said lightly:
"What if it is this way, what if it is not?"
"No matter how this world is made, as long as my feelings are true, then they are true."
The old man's voice suddenly became cold: "Feelings? What's the use of such illusory things?"
"Power is eternal... and you will eventually understand this."
The darkness began to shrink, and Li Yang suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation.
And at this moment, a white light suddenly appeared and dispelled the darkness.
[System repair completed]
[Warning: Dangerous intrusion detected, defense mechanism activated]
The next moment, Li Yang and the others were instantly teleported to the original space.
The voice of [Database] sounded——
[Analysis results: The abnormal intrusion is a cross-space memetic contamination carried out in some way]
[Suggestion: Return to Solaris immediately for a comprehensive system inspection]
Before Li Yang had time to speak, the white light enveloped them again.
When the light faded, they found themselves back to the [Database].
The incarnation of the [Database] had already prepared all the necessary inspections.
Almost instantly, several different scanning measures swept their entire bodies.
[Inspection results: No harm]
[Suggestion: The other party may find our location through communication. For safety reasons, the host should not answer the next time you encounter a similar situation]
Li Yang nodded, then looked up at the screen:
"Then, tell us what to do next."
