Mystery: When the Lost Homelanders Meet the Lost Homeland Call

A repulsive force emanated from the gray fog, but Lynn did not resist it and returned to the real world.

A ghostly green flame suddenly ignited, then solidified into a human figure, and Lynn returned to the real world.

"Phew—" Lynn let out a long breath, stood up, and walked out of the alley.

"At least we've taken the first step," Lynn muttered to himself as he walked into the nearby market.

"Whether the beginning is perfect or not, it is still a beginning, and so far, it has been done quite well."

"Well then, let's analyze the situation first."

In just half a day after his transmigration, Lynn had already faced several questions, such as how he was chosen by the Source Castle, that is, the gray fog.

According to the original text, the light spots in the gray fog are objects connected to the Source Castle. Klein's act of touching the light spots awakened the connection between the objects and the Source Castle, thereby pulling the people next to the objects into the Source Castle.

So, what does he, Lynn, possess that could connect him to Source Castle?

Everything he has now comes entirely from the Deep Sea Ember World!

Besides this, Lynn was also wondering where the small boat carrying him had disappeared to when he woke up, and he was still bothered by its disappearance.

He categorized these doubts as item-related doubts and set them aside for the time being. Lynn also thought of several questions that concerned his own essence.

First, after the Lost Home sank into the Warp and was reshaped with the help of the Old God "Dream King", Lynn, as a crew member, should have also become a Warp Shadow, or at least a strange creature like an Old God's tentacles.

He can now communicate normally with the people of the Kingdom of Rune, attend the Tarot Meeting at Source Castle, and even feel hungry. In other words, he has regained his body, and it is the same body as the people of the Mysterious World!

This problem is actually quite serious.

What is humanity? Are humans the same in different worlds?

Most time travelers hadn't thought about this question, but Lynn had to.

Because of the boundless sea, the ruins piled up from countless universes, this was the problem that the ancient gods faced.

  

The collision of universes with different laws leads to results similar to code conflicts; what is ordinary in one world is extreme pollution in another.

This isn't something that can be described by knowledge or high/low dimensions. It's like mixing the code of Minecraft and Plants vs. Zombies together. The hardness of diamond blocks is meaningless to pea shooters, and healing and damage potions make no difference to buckethead zombies because it simply won't work!

Whether it's blocks or potions, the forced insertion of code from another game is enough to destroy the entire game!

Therefore, Lynn paid special attention to every detail of his journey through the world, whether it was physical bodies or objects; every detail deserved his utmost vigilance in his study.

Specifically, in Lynn's homeland, humans are composed of molecules such as proteins, and intelligence comes from the emergence of cellular patterns.

In this mysterious world, people are divided into physical and non-physical parts. The non-physical part is further divided into four layers, the core of which is called the "spiritual body," which is the most fundamental spirituality of each person. Lynn understands the spiritual body as the core of the soul.

Beyond the "spiritual body" lies the "astral body," which is the former's means of communicating with the spirit world and the starry sky, and is an external manifestation of the former. It is directly related to a person's will and current emotions.

In other words, one is the essence, and the other is the application.

Further out is the 'mental body,' which involves the brain and is a comprehensive manifestation of reasoning ability, thinking ability, insight ability, and the ability to understand things.

The outermost layer is the 'etheric body,' which is the manifestation of life energy and physical state.

Humans on Earth probably don't have these four entities, and the "humans" of the Boundless Ocean definitely don't have these four entities either.

But now Lynn has these four bodies!

Although it exists in a very strange state, so much so that neither the Source Castle nor he, who had just transmigrated, could recognize it, it is indeed there.

This was also the key to how he was able to reduce the burden on himself and others at the Tarot meeting for Klein. During the meeting, Lynn gradually figured out some techniques to control the power called spirituality.

As Lynn continued to analyze the composition of the people around him, he became more and more certain that he indeed possessed the body and "soul" of a mysterious human.

Putting aside these reflections on the current situation, Lynn looked back at the bar where he had paid homage to Captain Duncan when he landed. He still remembered the sounds of the captain and first mate talking as he poured the wine. This meant that the two worlds were connected.

Lynn felt immense pressure.

Yes, the mystics say the underlying rule of this world is "chaos," with the mad ancients constantly sowing chaos among the stars, but in Lynn's eyes, this world can barely be considered "healthy."

Compared to the vast ocean next door, which is the scene of a massive multi-vehicle collision, this car in the Mysterious World is at best an old-fashioned car.

The problem now is that this old car seems to be getting involved in the accident.

Knowing all this, Lynn just wanted to say: Don't come any closer!

The decision made before the gray fog was correct; we must find a way to obtain the power of the past and improve the technology of our civilization in order to seize a glimmer of hope.

"This person looks really strange."

"It's strange, they don't seem like Ruen people."

The occasional murmurs reached Lynn's ears, startling him from his anxiety. He realized he had already left the dock and was on a bustling street.

Horse-drawn carriages traveled through the middle lanes of the road. Itinerant vendors shouted loudly on both sides of the road.

Occasionally, one can see "gentlemen" and "ladies" dressed in similar Victorian-era attire lingering at various stalls. These people are relatively free and can pursue needs beyond mere survival.

Meanwhile, the workers and homeless people hurrying by in vests or even shirtless were not so idle. Some of them had found work today and successfully filled their stomachs, while others had not yet found work and were likely to go hungry.

They struggled to survive, as fragile as reeds, easily blown to the ground by a gust of wind.

But they are also incredibly resilient, seeking opportunities to survive even in such a world.

Lynn walked along the road, silently observing everything, and then let out a heavy sigh.

As he exhaled, his eyes hardened, and his earlier anxiety vanished without a trace.

Yes, a great terror is approaching from beyond the stars, requiring long-term planning and extraordinary power, but there are still things worth saving, and he is not idle.

Lynn wouldn't impose responsibilities on others. Klein didn't have the informational advantage he had now, nor did he have the opportunity to leave the potion system. Klein had already done very well.

But he has it; he knows all the information and also possesses extraordinary power from another world, so he wants to create a better world.

At that moment, Lynn felt he had a clear direction again, and he seemed to be more deeply connected with the world.

Just as Lynn finished thinking and decided on his direction, an old man walked past him.

"Old Neil?"
