Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1153, Chapter 1168: Deep Illusion

A single second of perception, the appearance of time, is the basis upon which lower organisms perceive the world.

More than a third of a second, half a step of time, the pinnacle of an individual being, to experience the so-called subtle realm.

One-eighteenth of a second, real time, also known as essential time, is the origin of balance in the endless world of reality, the limit at which all material life can naturally reproduce and live normally.

But if the perception exceeds one-eighteenth of a second...

Then the material world is connected to a virtual world with certain unique rules. Some virtual phenomena or creatures overlap with the real world and have a real impact, even to the point of being completely trapped in virtual spacetime, which is no different from being sealed by spacetime.

At this moment, Green holds the Scepter of Hope, wears the Robe of Appearance and the Shroud of Hope, and with the aid of a large amount of Sands of Time, the world is undergoing a completely different transformation in Green's eyes.

Tick!

Green had already sensed the superconducting time of one-nineteenth of a second, which spread through the eerie ripples of the antique clock in his hand.

Every eighteenth of a second, in Green's eyes, the entire world seemed to be shrouded in an invisible black curtain. All the black insects under his feet had died, and the spatial fragments were gone, leaving only darkness.

Only the antique wall clock in my hand ticked away, the world was completely silent, and I wondered what else might exist in the depths of the darkness.

Tick!

The sands of time propelled the scepter and shroud of hope, and Green saw an even greater level, one-twentieth of superconducting time.

A second later, the darkness deepened, revealing a layer of grime. The antique hanging clock in his hand became incredibly worn, the bronze rust twisted into a knot, the withered mahogany seemed to crumble at the slightest touch, and the pendulum appeared listless.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, drop-drop...

tick...

This was already thirty layers of illusory darkness; the world in Green's eyes had undergone a completely different and entirely new change.

The illusory black curtain is no longer a real black curtain, but rather streaks of colorful light, as if illuminated by a rainbow, beautiful and magnificent. In comparison, the illusory world of superconducting light seems more real, while the real world has become an illusion, gradually becoming undetectable.

This is a deceptive dream woven by an omnipotent and incomprehensible being.

This place already belongs to a deeply illusory world. Green knows that he has already fallen into it, and even with his level of life, it is no longer possible to easily escape.

"Waaaaah..."

"Giggle giggle giggle..."

In the depths of the once silent and beautiful illusory world, a strange baby's cry suddenly came, followed by a crocodile-like laugh. Although no one knew what was inside, just hearing the sounds was enough to send chills down one's spine.

However, Green wanted to continue delving into an even deeper, more illusory world!

Without trying to adapt to these different levels of illusory worlds, this is not Green's destination. Guided by the Scepter of Hope and the Shroud of Hope, Green still needs to go to a deeper level of superconducting time, immerse himself in it, and find the corpse of the Lord of Hope hidden in the illusory world of flowing light and retrospection.

tick...

suddenly!

In this hazy gray sky, a gigantic old woman appeared in Green's field of vision. She was tens of thousands of meters tall and was leaning on a dead tree, slowly walking into the distance step by step.

Green seemed to stand like a fly that loves the sky, gazing at this illusory life.

His hair was withered and curly, his temples were gray, and his dry lips resembled the bark of a dead tree, looking devoid of any moisture or life. Near Green's face, half of it was already rotten, and one could vaguely see the pale white skull and the black body tissue stuck together. In the sunken eye sockets, one eyeball was pale white, while the other eyeball was a cloudy yellowish-green, without a pupil.

Suddenly, the enormous old woman seemed to sense Grimm. Her slowly moving mechanical body abruptly stopped, and her head slowly turned, focusing her murky yellow-green eyeball in its sunken socket on Grimm, who looked like a fly.

In an instant, an inexplicable and terrifying pressure descended!

It was less of a pressure and more of a pulling force. As the terrifying old woman looked at him, the unknown, deep superconducting, illusory world seemed to be pulling him, trying to draw him in completely.

How can this be?!

Green's destination was the illusory world of flowing light and retrospection, not this illusory world with unknown rules of time.

The sands of time slipped through his fingers even faster. At this moment, these sands of time had become like fire elements in the real world, enveloping Grimm as if they were an energy power device or a special teleportation artifact. Guided by the Scepter of Hope and the Shroud of Hope, they searched for the accurate coordinates of time.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh, come here and keep me company..."

A chilling laugh rang out, and maggots gushed from Old Ou's mouth like a burst dam. Then, his withered, dark left hand, which wasn't holding a magic wand, resembled a charred, monstrous tree root and reached out to grab Grimm.

This is clearly a spacetime sealing technique!

Grimm did not want to have any contact with this illusory thing, not even in terms of elemental energy rules. Otherwise, if this illusory world reacted to certain energy rules, Grimm would be assimilated and pulled into this unknown illusory world of time and space rules.

With a flash of his hand, facing the overwhelming maggots from Old Ou, Green threw out all the Time Crystal Cores he had traded from the Mountain Barbarian Warrior in one go, which then burst out with ripples.

These time-reflecting crystals reacted mysteriously with the maggots, and both disappeared.

Faced with the enormous, ferocious hand that Old Ou had grabbed, Green took out the Time Leaf he had traded from the Super Magic Hand Sivirnis and launched a continuous barrage of attacks. Old Ou screamed as he withdrew his ugly, ferocious hand. After Green lost the world lock, his figure flashed and he arrived in the next, deeper illusory world.

At this point, Green could no longer sense anything about the real world, just like a normal creature living in the real world, unable to sense the illusory world.

"Oh no...!"

Upon entering this illusory world, Green accidentally fell into a time rift.

Time faults cannot be overcome by energy or physical properties to struggle and shift; any outward energy will be lost in time in an instant.

The wizarding knowledge system states that all creatures in the endless world live in a three-dimensional system composed of length, width, and height. If one can explore the three-dimensional endless world through the passage of time and the course of history within this system, one will gain a fundamental power of a higher dimension.

Each time rift is like the digestive system of the endless world. Any creature that falls into it will be baptized by time and digested until nothing is left. Its origin will be replenished back into the endless world. This is the power of the balance rules of the endless world!

No matter how powerful, even a level-five creature like Grimm is nothing more than a humble and insignificant existence in the face of the endless world, like a wisp of gauze in the desert, drifting in the wind.

The power of time erosion from all directions penetrated the protection of the Sands of Time, passed through Grimm's body, and aimed directly at Grimm's Stigmata Soul!

Hiss hiss hiss...

Suddenly, Green took out a ball of yarn, which was the price that the Poisonous Whisper Holy Mark Wizard had given to Green before he infiltrated the ruined world.

At this moment, guided by the mental power of the fifth-level holy mark wizard Grimm, these threads of time quickly weaved through the sands of time, and in a short while, a silkworm pupa was formed.

"Damn it, forget about leaving the Flowing Light Backwards World, even trying to break in is this difficult..."

Holding the Scepter of Hope, the Shroud of Hope within Green's Robe of Appearance gradually emitted a pale white halo, and the Sands of Time pupa, amidst its rumbling vibrations, suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Shake, shake, shake, shake...

When Green regained his senses, he looked out and saw an endless expanse of skeletons stretching to the horizon.
