It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 113 Exile

"A lot of knots?"

Xia Zhi controlled the Glorious Boat, continuously raising its altitude. At the same time, he caught this key word and couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart.

He was not surprised or shocked.

Instead, there is a feeling of "as expected".

Just by hearing Miss Shihua's description, Xia Zhi discovered that from her perspective, the scale and number of those knotted ropes seemed extremely large. When the fantasy tree reached the sky and the treetops could cover the sky, it could still be densely covered by the knotted ropes...

It is estimated to be far more than hundreds of millions...

This is actually the embodiment of the vortex of restraining force...

The so-called "God" may essentially be a corrective force in some direction?

A thought suddenly flashed through Xia Zhi's mind, and he felt that he had grasped something. But at this moment, his expression suddenly became stern, as if he had a premonition of something, and he shouted in a low voice: "Hold on tight... it's coming!"

The moment he finished speaking—

A bright light suddenly burst out from the historical image that had just been converted and from the reappearing small town.

It is as dazzling as the first ray of sunshine at dawn.

Faintly from that light, there could be heard the sounds of people praying.

In the center of the town, a grand ceremony of worshipping the gods is being held in the shrine. The shrine maidens hold the sacred knotted ropes in both hands and dance with meticulous posture. The elements of Kagura, Shinto dance, and blessing are interwoven together, as if to show the sacred process of weaving knotted ropes.
As the ceremony progressed, the brilliant light that shot up into the sky almost caught up with the glorious ship traveling at high speed in the sky in the blink of an eye.

Looking closely, it was countless threads of light, entangled and tangled together, forming an extremely flexible knot that directly caught the flying boat and densely covered it, instantly immersing the entire ship in light...

The moment he was caught up by the light and fell into it, Xia Zhi frowned and quickly glanced around. He found that he was the only one left on the ship he was on, and Miss Shihua and the others were nowhere to be found.

Only the connection belonging to the contract is still there, it has become blurred but not interrupted.

I can't clearly sense the Master's location, I can only confirm that the Master is still there and the contract has not been cancelled...

He did not panic, but calmly observed his surroundings and found that the light did not fade away at all, but filled the entire world outside his perception.

It was as if he was trapped in a space of pure light. Apart from him and Vimana, everything around him was filled with endless light. In this ocean of light, there was no forward or backward movement, no distance or direction.

——What is going on?
——Is this a direct "correction" that I have encountered?
Connecting the dots just now, he vaguely realized what this might be.

Because logically speaking, the inhibitory force is an invisible vortex of power. Because it is unconscious, even if it occurs, it will not attract attention and no one will be aware of it.

For example, by pushing someone to take action, making him a hero by chance, or preventing a disaster by chance...all of this seems to happen as a matter of course. This existence that restrains humans in order to protect them will appear without anyone noticing.

However, there are exceptions.

The restraining force will change its scale according to the object that should be eliminated, and will appear with a value that is absolutely capable of victory and exceeds the object. If the factor that needs to be corrected cannot be stopped by human power alone, the restraining force will increase its value.

He now doubts whether the so-called "God" is like this.

It is the embodiment of the corrective force in that direction, and is summoned by the world after the main cause of the world's destruction is produced in order to eliminate the main cause.

It's just unfortunate that he is the main reason for being eliminated.

however.

"This is really beyond my expectations..."

Xia Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly: "It turns out that only in this way can I get in touch with that."

After he fell into this ocean of light, he began to feel the flow of some strange information. It was information emerging from the other end of the soul connection, and something was conveying some information to him.

You know, the information he transmitted to this world has always been kept in the "landing capsule", which is the seed of the fantasy tree.

And when the seeds take root, sprout, and grow vigorously, the information is naturally retained in the growing tree, maintaining the most direct connection with the Fantasy Tree... So what could be the source of the information he feels at this moment?

There is no suspense about the answer.

Although the fantasy tree has no consciousness, it does have desires for survival such as "hate to be harvested", "want to live", and "immortality". Then when it realizes that once Xia Zhi disappears, everything about it will be denied and will be corrected directly...

——It will act self-disciplinedly based on its defensive instinct.

As if to prove this statement, at this moment, the ocean of light began to vibrate violently.

The light ahead was swallowed up, and a door appeared in the void, or a strange large hole. On the other side of that great and deep place, there was a brilliant galaxy spinning.

Actually——

That should be a huge branch of a fantasy tree that stretched out.

It's just that the "bark"-like hard shell burst, like a large dark hole, exposing the Milky Way inside the tree.

boom--! !

Without thinking twice, Xia Zhi activated his own magic furnace core and poured a huge amount of powerful magic power into Vimana's power furnace.

In an instant, the Vimana, which was stagnant in the ocean of light, suddenly burst out with incomparable surging power, at a terrifying speed that almost caused itself to be destroyed and the hull disintegrated in the air... It rushed forward a long distance!

then.

He plunged headfirst into the big hole in front.

At that moment, it was as if I was sucked into a chaotic vortex of time, as if I was flying rapidly through the boundless time, and I could feel the overlapping historical scenes whizzing past me.

——The towering buildings were reduced to ruins in an instant, a desolate scene that made people's heart tremble...

——The earth shook violently, gradually becoming dry and cracked, with cracks crisscrossing each other, as if it was about to tear the entire world apart...

——In the sky, there were burning meteorites falling like catastrophe fire, carrying the power of destruction, instantly lighting up the dark sky...

The overlapping historical scenes surged past like a tide, one after another appearing before our eyes.

At the same time, the glorious boat Vimana, a miracle of materialization with fantasy as its skeleton, also seemed fragile under the impact of this force. It seemed to be decaying and weathering rapidly, unable to escape the ruthless erosion of time.

Same thing, at this moment.

Xia Zhi's consciousness was like a swimming fish, leaping out of the long river of time in an instant. In that moment of soaring, he caught a glimpse of an astonishing and shocking scene -

It was a fantasy tree that had grown to an almost extreme level, like a gigantic tree species that would show the world. The trunk was so thick that no one knew how many kilometers it was, and its canopy structure seemed endless, covering the sky, the world, and the planets. Its branches could almost cover the entire surface of the earth.

however.

This huge tree species is always in bloom...

The surface is covered with countless densely packed knots of light...

To bind, to entangle, to suppress.

The young man knew that this was a projection of another reality.

If we say that the comet that occurs once in a thousand years arrived and the meteorites that broke apart landed with unknown forces, causing the tragedy of more than 500 people, and the tree of fantasy took root in the earth, that would be the first cycle of history.

Then, for some mysterious reason, the course of history took a turn. The same disaster occurred, but this time miraculously no one was killed or injured. This is the reality that can be called the second round.

With the replacement of these two episodes, the first episode was naturally regarded as wrong history and became an anomalous zone excluded by human reason. The second episode became the real history of today, filling the gap in time.

The imaginary tree in front of me, which has grown extremely luxuriantly, obviously comes from the possibility of the third reality -

In a sense, time has also come to a halt here.

Just like the second round replacing the first round, some force in the future is quietly changing history, and the results of this change are manifested in the past.

Although strictly speaking...

It is not yet a real and existing reality.

Because Xia Zhi has not yet replaced the fantasy tree in the past with the future, and because the overly powerful restraining force has been correcting this reality...so he has no way of seeing the fantasy tree in the past appear.

Until he also encountered a direct "correction" from the restraining force...

It was like a cage. Originally, he was outside the cage, and the fantasy tree was inside the cage. The two were isolated and could not touch each other. However, at this moment, he who was outside the cage was also thrown into the cage.

And at this moment, he is traveling through the "branches" of this fantasy tree.

Rapidly advancing in the boundless time, approaching the core of the "tree body".

——A smile that seemed like mad appeared on Xia Zhi’s face.
