Build an ancient-level power in the nightmare world

Chris ignored the faint mist around him.

This yellow mist, just like the previous pale mist, was originally part of this mysterious space; it has simply returned to where it originally was.

Chris doesn't understand what other uses these things have.

His gaze fell once again on the second star he had pulled onto the surface of the lake.

This star is much smaller than the first one; Chris estimates that its core cluster may be less than 5 centimeters in size, and the starlight it emits is extremely faint.

Looking down from hundreds of meters above, Chris wouldn't even notice the existence of this star unless he used his peculiar sensory abilities.

The faint starlight emanating from the other party was even obscured by the background light emanating from the starry sky beneath the lake.

Having learned from his experience observing the first star, Chris noticed the anthropomorphic emotions emanating from the second tiny star almost immediately.

It was different from the unease, fear, and awe felt towards the first star.

The emotion emanating from this second star was predominantly excitement, mixed with a sense of awe.

Chris's gaze swept back and forth between the two stars.

He noticed that every time his gaze swept over the larger star, a darker hue would suddenly appear in the predominantly yellowish-white glow emanating from it.

And the unease, fear, and awe emanating from that star will increase accordingly.

Through continuous observation, Chris roughly summarized several correspondences between the colors of the light emanating from these stars and the emotions they evoked.

Fear corresponds to a predominantly black color with a hint of dark red, unease generally corresponds to black and gray, and awe seems to also correspond to black.

Excitement corresponds to orange-yellow.

Of course, there are more subtle differences in the correspondence between these colors and emotions, but Chris did not delve into that further.

What he wants to figure out now is whether the two stars in front of him have any self-awareness.

Are these emotional changes in the other person a primal instinct, or a manifestation of intelligent life?

If these two star-shaped objects truly possess intelligence, then they must be some extraordinary being.

After all, common creatures don't look like this. Based on Chris's two lifetimes of common sense, these two stars are very likely some kind of energy life form.

Ultimately, Chris set his sights on the first, larger star.

As his gaze fell upon it, Chris could see that the center of the star was visibly swaying, and the surrounding light was becoming blurred.

Immediately afterwards, the various colors of light around the star suddenly receded, revealing its luminous core.

Without that brilliance, Chris suddenly noticed that on the star's luminous core, there were three special gray-white symbols with a faint silver glow.

The symbol appears to be composed of a circle, a flat Z-shape, and some small dots distributed around the two patterns. The Z-shape overlaps the circle and is slightly larger than the circle.

"What is this? Some kind of mysterious symbol, or writing?"

No matter how you look at it, these three symbols seem to be traces left by intelligent life.

Chris was now fairly certain that these star-shaped objects were very likely indeed a form of intelligent life.

In that case, he can try to communicate.

Chris was very clear about the situation now. The unease, fear, and awe that the two stars were showing were all because he had forcibly pulled them into this mysterious space.

If the starry sky reflected beneath the lake's surface was originally the habitat of these stars...

So, if a star that was living peacefully in its own world is suddenly pulled into a mysterious space by an unknown entity, any intelligent life form would feel bewildered and fearful. At the same time, it would be perfectly reasonable for it to feel a sense of awe towards the unknown entity that pulled it into this space.

But what about the orange-yellow glow that symbolizes excitement emanating from that little star?

Thinking of this, Chris's gaze involuntarily shifted to the little star.

But at this moment, Chris noticed that the orange-yellow glow representing excitement on the little star had significantly decreased, and was being replaced by a gradually increasing gray-black glow symbolizing unease.

Because of my young age, I felt excited rather than fearful when I was first pulled into this mysterious space. It wasn't until I came to my senses that I realized I was scared.

should be.

Chris nodded slightly as he thought this through, quite satisfied with his analysis.

Stop paying attention to this little star that has no experience.

Chris turned his gaze back to the star whose brilliance had been tempered, revealing its luminous core.

This time, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a thin black line hidden inside the star's luminous core.

This thin black line twists and coils, quietly residing deep within the luminous core.

If it weren't for Chris's extraordinary sensory abilities in this mysterious space, coupled with the sudden disappearance of the star's surrounding radiance, he might not have been able to discover it.

Chris could sense that the three strange symbols and the glowing core seemed to be one entity, while the thin black line did not give him this feeling; instead, it seemed more like an alien object.

Chris shifted his gaze slightly away from the star whose luminous core was exposed, and he found that his stare seemed to put immense pressure on it.

At the same time, he was thinking about how to communicate with this star.

Should we just speak directly?

Not really suitable.

Putting aside the fact that he's standing on a tower hundreds of meters high, it's hard to say how much of his normal volume would be heard below.

Shouting? That's even less likely; it's neither classy nor tasteful.

He was perfectly aware that, in the eyes of the two stars below, he must be some kind of unknown, terrifying being.

But Chris knew that he wasn't.

In this mysterious space, he felt that everything was very familiar, as if he were at home.

But that doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants here.

In reality, the only thing Chris can control right now is the thin, yellow mist surrounding him, which is so fine that it's barely visible once it disperses.

Maintaining this sense of mystery and oppression will actually allow Chris to continue to take the initiative.

If these two stars are indeed some kind of extraordinary life form, then Chris could use this to gain more knowledge about extraordinary powers from them.

Another problem is that the two sides may not be able to understand each other's languages ​​at all.

As for communicating through thoughts.

Chris did have that thought.

But he didn't know exactly what to do.
