Bai Cangshu looked at the enormous dragon head in the sky and the surrounding ocean, and he suddenly realized he was in a dream.
The Sage's foundation lay not only in his mysterious 'demonic' power, but also in his status as a 'demigod'.
The Sage watched as a scarlet glow reappeared on Bai Cangshu, knowing that the other party had realized this was the world of consciousness.
The so-called Collective Unconscious Sea should have been a space where all souls and consciousness could not act independently, except for himself, the Manipulator…
The Sage successfully passed through the Collective Unconscious Sea and entered Tao Bai Bai's Mind Island, intending to directly alter Tao Bai Bai's subconscious again and manipulate him.
But Tao Bai Bai's abnormality appeared once more; he was actually still maintaining his thoughts within his subconscious?!
He could even engage in Logical thinking.
This phenomenon caused a rare trace of confusion in the Sage's heart, but he quickly soothed his Mental body, calming himself down.
In the Infinite Dimensional Space, when he was still a newcomer, he had heard of a method for evaluating the aptitude of Reincarnators.
Based on their ability to adapt to spatial deployment, Reincarnators who could not adapt were considered 'defective products'. Most of these Reincarnators were too fragile psychologically, and their Mental state would quickly collapse during the cruel and frequent deployment missions. Even with good initial physical quality and initial world gains, they would soon be eliminated.
Reincarnators above the baseline were all qualified 'consumables', worker bees that could be deployed multiple times by the space to collect information.
However, the reason 'consumables' were 'consumables' was that Reincarnators of this level could at most only be considered qualified. They would naturally be depleted in mission after mission, either by being assimilated by other Reincarnators or by dying in missions, ultimately unable to grow.
Beyond this, as the space continuously recruited new Reincarnators, it would occasionally encounter some high-quality individuals—those with innate excellent aptitudes who appeared in the space due to various circumstances.
These individuals might have significant shortcomings in one area but were far superior to any other Reincarnator in another. Once they found their area of expertise in the space, they would rise rapidly.
Alternatively, they might be inherently intelligent to the point of being demonic, manipulating other Reincarnators with their own power.
Such Reincarnators, even in the real world, would be called geniuses and become pillars in various fields; they were individuals of 'astonishing talent and brilliance'.
But occasionally, even more special individuals would appear in the space. These individuals were more like humans who had undergone genetic mutations, possessing an abnormality that made them seem out of place within their own species.
Data, personality, Logic, ethics—there was always some aspect that allowed you to directly perceive the difference between yourself and the other party.
These 'anomalies' were the most unstable and could easily be targeted and perish due to their abnormality, but they also often grew rapidly into the most terrifying Reincarnators.
Just like the woman in the North District who now bore the title 'Blossoming Ephemeral', she once forced the Doom Sun and the Silent Death to retreat to the East District, thereby having to engage in infighting.
Abnormal growth speed, abnormal combat power, abnormal ability characteristics…
"Mr. Sage, I once encountered a low-level Reincarnator who had strengthened the 'Lord of Mysteries' sequence ability, but I rarely saw those extraordinary characteristics in the Slum. Are the resources produced by that world controlled by Destiny Eternal?"
Bai Cangshu's smile remained as usual. He surveyed his surroundings and also saw the islands faintly visible in the mists in the distance.
The Sage's abilities were constantly being exposed, which indicated that while his abilities were strange, he severely lacked the capacity to directly fight him head-on…
His demonic power, which allowed others to die in his stead or kill others, must have significant limitations.
And those limitations were something he had never experienced.
Bai Cangshu constantly pondered the differences between himself and Loka, trying to find the reason why the Sage could make those people die silently while he himself would not.
The giant dragon, into which the Sage had transformed, looked down from the sky at Tao Bai Bai's Mind Island—no, that narrow, one-meter-square place could not be called an 'island' at all.
It was merely a Mind Island that could barely accommodate one person.
He realized that perhaps this was part of Tao Bai Bai's abnormality: the other party could quickly realize that this was not the real world and regain Logic and self in his subconscious because… the other party had almost no subconscious world…
This was very abnormal.
The human brain has a huge amount of redundancy, and human consciousness also has a huge amount of residual information.
How could a human's Mind Island be so small…
The Sage's heart stirred, and he let out a long roar.
He directly stirred up a storm in the Collective Unconscious Sea. For ordinary people, he would need to enter their Mind Island, understand their subconscious, and then guide them within it.
This would allow him to secretly know all their secrets and guide them to act according to his own thoughts.
But for someone like Tao Bai Bai, perhaps he should directly engulf him with a Mental storm!
Let him be permanently immersed in various frenzied emotions.
Whoosh!
As a demigod who had completed the Sequence 4 Roleplay, a Manipulator, he was capable of causing chaos here.
Bai Cangshu turned his head and saw the towering waves approaching. This Collective Unconscious Sea began to undergo tremendous changes, and the sky also grew gloomy.
He looked down at himself; his body was indeed changing at this moment.
But at the same time, he saw that the giant dragon in the sky was not far from him, perhaps…
Bai Cangshu closed his eyes, and a pure white glow began to emanate from him. At the same time, he continued to speak, attempting to influence the Sage.
"So, that Destiny Eternal might have mastered a high-level sequence ability from the world of mysteries?"
"Let me guess, is it… the 'Idealist'?"
The giant dragon, into which the Sage had transformed, lowered its head and roared again, and the Mental storm crashed down.
Boom!
The entire Mental world instantly became a mess.
In the real world, Hong Chen slowly crawled up from the ground. He had not died, and the strong telekinetic restraint on his body had disappeared.
The long-lost freedom to breathe made him gasp for air uncontrollably.
But soon, he coughed twice, and with the circulation of his internal energy, the purple toxins were quickly expelled from his body.
Hong Chen waved his hand, and the strong gale dispersed the poisonous mist. This purple poisonous mist was probably a special ability of the Red Queen's silver plot-level shield.
But there was no trace of anyone else around.
As the poisonous mist cleared, he saw the crimson-burning phantom standing opposite the Sage.
That was… Tao Bai Bai?!
Hong Chen gestured with his right hand, and his precious saber immediately spun into his grasp.
He looked at the two of them, and an unprecedented good opportunity made it difficult for him to suppress the urge to strike a blow.
But…
Hong Chen approached and found that both the Sage and Tao Bai Bai had their eyes tightly shut, seemingly in a very unstable Mental state.
Tao Bai Bai's enlarged body twitched slightly, and blood began to flow from his nostrils—a sign of having suffered a Mental storm.
But what about the Sage? Could Tao Bai Bai still affect the Sage in a battle of mind and subconscious?!
Moo!
Boom!
A wave of air erupted, far exceeding any known hurricane on Earth.
At this instant, Hong Chen felt as if he were a leaf in a raging ocean, and a terrifying aura that made one tremble burst forth from ten kilometers away.
Space was being torn apart, and the screams of countless souls simultaneously resounded.
Hong Chen instinctively turned around, only to see at the end of the world a colossal dark figure extending a hand, from whose palm golden spiritual energy turned into dust, dissipating little by little with the wind.
That dark figure became extremely unstable, and the colorful spiritual realm space began to expand wildly.
The entire city was swallowed up again in an instant.
And in the sky, the tornado that had distorted half the space was also sent flying.
A red kasaya, almost covering the entire city, floated in the spiritual realm, and was now being torn apart by that dark figure.
"Reincarnators… I… will kill you…"
The voice, which should have been childish, was now filled with tyrannical ruthlessness. The resentful spiritual power surged forth, knocking Hong Chen, Tao Bai Bai, and the Sage flying together.
