Chapter 429 Symbiosis
"Aren't you afraid that he will hear you saying this here?"
The "he" that Ren Wudao was referring to was naturally the "first life form to develop self-awareness."
After all, the other person could be speaking in his heart all the time, and might even be right next to him.
Zhou Tian shook his head: "It doesn't matter. The sound you heard was just the remnant he left behind. Anyone who enters the fog world can hear this sound. His consciousness is not here."
At this point, Zhou Tian showed an ambiguous expression on his face: "The first life form in the Mist Realm to be born with self-awareness, is it still a life form in the Mist Realm when it wakes up? Judging from the results, he is no longer a life form. After all... now he is trying every means to return to the Mist Realm, to this mother tree..."
"Okay, your doubts should have been satisfied." Zhou Tian looked towards Ren Wudao, even though there was nothing there.
Ren Wudao also clearly felt that the other party was staring at him, staring at him who had no actual body at all.
"So, you really did lie to me." There was no surprise in Ren Wudao's voice.
Although the fish-eye balance theory of the human world and the fog world sounds very similar, it is too taken for granted no matter how you look at it.
Ren Wudao never believed it at all.
It's just... Although he doesn't believe it at all, he still has his own principles. His sister Yu Sheng's life was indeed saved by the man in front of him, so he would still jump into what he promised even if he knew it was a trap.
In some aspects, Ren Wudao is indeed very pedantic, but this is probably one of the reasons why Zhou Tian came to him.
"You know?" Zhou Tian realized that he might have underestimated Ren Wudao.
"I only have one question," Ren Wudao didn't respond to Zhou Tian's nonsense, "Why did you choose me?"
Zhou Tian paused, as if he was thinking about this question himself.
After a long pause, he replied, "Because we are very similar. There is someone in both of us who absolutely does not want her to die. So... I believe that only you can keep your consciousness from disintegrating, and this is very important to me."
"Any more questions?" Zhou Tian asked.
Ren Wudao stopped talking.
"Then let's get started."
After Zhou Tian finished speaking, the keys he had collected over the years gathered in his hands one by one.
The number of these keys is far greater than rumored!
"The purpose of the key is to open the door..." Zhou Tian murmured in a low voice, "What I want to open is the door between the fog world and the human world..."
"You are this door."
Zhou Tian looked into the void.
Ren Wudao finally understood everything.
So that’s it… Zhou Tian’s fisheye theory isn’t completely a lie.
He did find a way to bridge the two worlds.
That is... to regard people as the door, and use the connection between the human body and soul to connect the two worlds.
At this moment, Ren Wudao's body remained in the human world, but his consciousness came to the fog world. He was in this state.
"I don't know what that feeling is, but remember what I said just now. Before the two worlds are completely connected, maintain your consciousness and don't let it collapse. Just think of it as Yu Sheng's sake."
As soon as Zhou Tian finished speaking, keys flew straight towards Ren Wudao!
"Buzzing—"
As if hitting an invisible wall, a transparent human figure gradually emerged from the ripples caused by the key.
"let's start."

In an instant, the sky over Yecheng changed color.
A terrifying red light suddenly appeared, covering the entire sky, as if it were smeared with blood. Everyone who looked up could see it.
Everyone also saw a huge tree reflected in the blood-red sky.
Tree?
Everyone in Yecheng was extremely surprised and suspicious.
Why is there such a big reflected tree in the sky?
Soon everyone discovered that the tree was still getting bigger!
It turns out that the tree is constantly approaching the earth from the sky!
Gradually, the details on the tree became clearer. Although the color tone was a bit strange against the backdrop of the blood-filled sky, everyone could clearly see... the branches and leaves of the tree were covered with densely packed, twisted monsters that looked like insects.
No...it's not a bug, it's a person!
There are crowds of people everywhere!
Although twisted, weird, and naked, they are clearly human-shaped... There are too many of them, with countless dense hands and feet entangled and stacked together, twisted into one piece, like thousands of snakes wriggling in a snake den.
Weird and creepy.
The sky above Ye City was completely occupied by giant trees, and the trees were covered with densely packed human figures, causing everyone to temporarily lose the ability to think.
Is this... the end of the world?
The end of the world?
Time seemed to have been paused and the sound almost completely disappeared.
Even the sound of my heartbeat seemed to be stuck in my chest.
But then, a voice appeared.
It's a man's voice.
"I am a creature from the Mist World."
“Our life forms are closely related to humans.”
"We have no physical body and our life is extremely short. In your words, we are born in a day and die in a night."
"But once we combine with the human body, we will form a perfect symbiotic organism."
"We will endow humans with extraordinary powers, the power to change reality with thoughts."
"And humans can also provide us with a longer life."
"We will live and die together with mankind."
This sound temporarily cleared everyone's consciousness.
But soon, everyone felt something was wrong. How could such a good thing happen in the world?
A race that claims to be from another world wants to convince humans with just a few words and coexist with humans.
How can this be?
There aren't so many fools in Yecheng.
But at this moment, the voice sounded again.
And this time, he really impressed almost everyone...
"Everyone, please look around you."
"The person who stayed in your memory is back, right?"
This sentence, like a sharp needle, violently pierced the fact that everyone was almost unwilling to face.
Correct……
Yes.
What happened before seemed like a dream. All the dead people came back, and the people I missed, thought about, and loved... came back.
They were right beside us, but at this moment, they looked confused, as if they had no idea what was happening.
"This is us, but... we are running out of time. Before dawn, the people around you will turn into bubbles and disappear completely."
"Do not……"
"No!"
"No, she can't disappear!"
"any idea……"
"How to do?"
"..."
Suddenly, there were bursts of noises in the industry city.
On a certain street, Bai Yanren turned around and looked at Xun Weimo.
smiled.
"Look, I'm going to make it, and I'm not alone."
"I knew him before you did."
"Sunday."
Bai Yanren withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes.
That was the first time Zhou Tian and his wife entered the fog world, and it was also the moment when his self-awareness was born.
