Chapter 436: Remnant
the other side.
Yu Wenxuan's sudden action disrupted Bai Yanren's plan.
The fog that should have been released still exists in the gap between the fog world and the human world and cannot come out.
Bai Yanren frowned. He almost never showed such emotion, but the current situation was indeed beyond his expectations.
but……
There are other ways to stop the fog gathering, but that person should never kill those people.
Because the people of the Abyss... were originally dead, and it was the Bai Yan people who brought them back to life, and it was also the Bai Yan people who asked them to carry out orders, even though they themselves were not aware of the situation and thought that their superior was only Zhou Tian.
Yu Wenxuan is cruel and ruthless. For him, as long as something is beyond the reach of physical damage, he has a way to deal with it.
For people like these, they were shot in the heart first and then in the head to ensure they were dead beyond belief.
However, just as Yu Wenxuan was about to leave the key space of the abyss, a space crack suddenly appeared, and wisps of strange white mist emerged from the bodies of all the people he had killed and drilled into the space crack.
next moment……
A left leg stepped out.
Then, a person who made Yu Wenxuan's heart skip a beat appeared.
Bai Yanren.
He suddenly crossed the space, walked out of the crack, and looked at Yu Wenxuan quietly.
"I gave them their lives." Bai Yanren looked at Yu Wenxuan expressionlessly.
Yu Wenxuan suddenly realized.
I see……
The reason why this person was able to come here in an instant should be due to the white mist-like things that came out from the corpses.
They have to return to where this person is. Because of some of their characteristics, a space rift is opened, and the two places are therefore located, so this "Bai Yanren" naturally comes here.
"I'm curious, are you really Bai Yanren?"
Yu Wenxuan sensed danger.
Bai Yanren glanced at the key in Yu Wenxuan's hand, and a trace of barely perceptible disgust flashed in his eyes.
"So you have seen him. He was born in my body, but he betrayed me."
Yu Wenxuan nodded and understood.
The Bai Yanren in the space-time gap in the sea moon was indeed one with the Bai Yanren in front of him.
It’s just that the two people’s ideas seem to be completely opposite, so they parted ways.
"Did he ask you to stop me?" Bai Yanren asked.
Yu Wenxuan knew that the person in front of him would never let him go. He could only delay as much time as possible and then find a way to escape from this person's sight, or at least escape from this space.
"No, it's your brother."
Yu Wenxuan's brain was frantically thinking of a way to escape, but his mouth was constantly arousing Bai Yanren's curiosity.
"However, you were also involved in the other one. This key that can open the gap in time and space was given to me by him."
"Hey, I know you won't let me go. Before you do anything, can you tell me how you managed to resurrect the dead?" Yu Wenxuan didn't wait for Bai Yanren to speak and immediately started a new topic.
Bai Yanren didn't want to waste time talking to him, but who knew that the issue mentioned by Yu Wenxuan was what he was most proud of.
He was itching to talk but had no one to vent to. Now someone took the initiative to bring it up. How could Bai Yanren endure it?
He chuckled and pointed to the body on the ground.
"The human body will become unable to move due to injury and aging, and eventually die. The root cause is that the body itself is not strong enough, whether it is the level of energy absorption or the speed of self-repair." "As for the soul, I don't believe in its independent existence. In my opinion, the soul is a byproduct of the human brain and nervous system constantly releasing and receiving various electrical signals. It only appears in the nervous system. If you change the body, it is impossible to give birth to the same consciousness and soul."
"So, if you want to perfectly bring someone back to life, you can't let them give up their bodies and exist in other forms. That would just create a new consciousness that has nothing to do with the original person."
Bai Yanren became more and more excited as he spoke, and Yu Wenxuan originally just wanted to delay time, but as he listened, he became fascinated.
"So your method is to strengthen the human body, or... the entire nervous system?"
Yu Wenxuan asked.
Bai Yanren nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."
“Human consciousness cannot exist independently of the body.”
"Human consciousness cannot be inherited again after changing the body."
"Human consciousness does not disappear with death. As long as the nervous system remains intact, it can be resurrected."
“These are the three perspectives I discovered through my research.”
Bai Yanren suddenly felt reluctant to kill Yu Wenxuan. He rarely met someone with whom he could talk so well.
He could also see that Yu Wenxuan was really interested in his research.
"So, we only need to inject higher-level energy into people who are already dead but whose brain and nervous systems are intact, and we can bring them back to life."
“And this energy… is it.”
Bai Yanren waved his left hand, and a shaky, gray-white human silhouette appeared out of thin air.
"It has no name. It is just the fruit that the Mist World Mother Tree produced after absorbing the negative emotional energy that overflowed from the human world."
"I gave them a name - Degenerate Shedding."
Bai Yanren's voice paused.
"These remnants were originally born from humans. After being transformed by the mother tree, their energy levels are higher and purer, and they are almost perfectly compatible with humans."
"You can think of them as a new battery that, when placed in the human body, can produce extraordinary effects."
"A new species... was born." Bai Yanren said this and looked at Yu Wenxuan quietly.
"Can Tui..." Yu Wenxuan slowly read the name.
"That sounds a bit ominous. Does it mean anything?" he asked.
Bai Yanren shook his head: "The missing, spoiled, and thrown away ones are the remnants. Even their existence time is only about a day."
His eyes fell on the remnant he had summoned: "After one day, it will become nothing and disappear completely."
After saying that, no one knew what he did, but the remnant turned into a white mist again and entered Bai Yanren's body.
When Yu Wenxuan saw this scene, an extremely strange and bizarre idea suddenly came to his mind.
He almost never showed an emotion called surprise, but at this moment, Yu Wenxuan couldn't help asking:
"You can command and summon them like this, does that mean you are also..."
Bai Yanren turned his head slowly with an expressionless face, his eyes falling on Yu Wenxuan.
His voice was neither hurried nor slow, but it was filled with a sense of oppression that frightened both of them.
"Yes, I am also a remnant."
"I was born in that world... no, in this world. I am the first one to survive a whole day and to develop self-awareness."
