A journey into an infinite dimension

"Ge Jiuye, is there any solution in your memory that can solve my situation?"

Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, Jia Ye asked Ge Jiuye.

“There’s nothing you can do, and there’s something you can’t do.”

Under Jia Ye's expectant gaze, Ge Jiuye shook his head cruelly, and then said with some regret.

"You, why haven't you ever thought about trying to master the power of your eyes and open the door to the outside from inside the barrier?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, but the light only lasted for a moment before quickly dissipating.

"I've tried this before, but I don't even know how to start, let alone the results."

"If you don't understand, why don't you ask? Really, you're usually so smart, why do you sometimes become so stupid?"

Standing up from the bed, Ge Jiuye used the height of the bed under his feet to look down at Jia Ye who was sitting on the chair, with his hands on his hips, a hint of pride flashed across his face.

"You didn't have me before, but now it's different. As a reward for cooking for me, let me be merciful and teach you."

"oh----"

Jia Ye clapped his hands in amazement, and imagined several spotlights on the ceiling shining on Ge Jiuye, who also looked very pleased.

The tacit understanding between one complimenting the other and enjoying it, one can only say that these two guys are indeed the same person.

......

......

When his consciousness returned to reality, Jiaye controlled a giant flaming bird to carry him into the air, and continued to move towards the two full moons above his head.

There were no obstacles encountered during the process, and even the phenomenon of "the higher the altitude, the thinner the oxygen" did not occur. If the surrounding scenery was not constantly descending, Jiaye might have found it difficult to realize that he was actually rising into the air.

Unlike the moon in the outside world that is outside the earth and in the universe, in this inherent barrier, the moon is completely floating in the sky, not even as far away as the surrounding stars and the figure that gradually becomes clearer in his eyes as Jia Ye gets closer.

At the same time, as Jiaye's altitude continued to rise, the figure danced more happily, even giving Jiaye the feeling of a large dog wagging its tail and acting coquettishly to its owner.

"Only when I look closer can I really see how big you are."

Jia Ye said with some sigh.

Indeed, even though he was now nearly 20 kilometers above the ground, the figure was still the same as when he was on the ground, neither bigger nor smaller, and it was just a shadow. It was really hard to imagine how huge its real body was.

It may not be possible to cover the entire Milky Way, but half of the solar system should be no problem, right?

As if responding to Jiaye's praise, the figure suddenly changed its ferocious posture, looking even more chaotic and disordered than before.

If other people saw this scene, they might feel disgust and hatred from the bottom of their hearts, but Jiaye didn't feel anything, and didn't even have this awareness. Instead, he sensed the emotions conveyed by the figure.

"Ok?"

Jia Ye couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the emotions expressed by the figure seemed to be clearer, and it became a little easier for him to understand.

Is it because of the height and distance?

This was the possibility that Jia Ye could think of at the moment, and it also gave him an idea.

If he spends enough time rising into the air, will he be able to see the true form of the figure?

However, although he thought so, Jiaye did not want to implement it immediately.

Because he had to leave the inherent barrier quickly to find Hong and the others. He had been unconscious for who knew how long, and the news of his life or death would make Hong and Melusine extremely anxious, so he had to go out as soon as possible to let them know that he was safe.

If too much time passes, Jiudehong falls into a deep sleep again, or even the basically impossible situation of falling into the arms of another person happens——

Thinking of this, a complex thought flashed across Jia Ye's eyes.

It seems crazy, like chaos.

Perhaps sensing Jiaye's emotions, the figure's dancing posture became more and more crazy and blasphemous. An indescribable aura quietly permeated the sky, and the firebird's rising speed also increased.

After a few minutes, the moon in front of him was getting closer and closer, and the soft and cool moonlight shone on Jia Ye's body, bringing him back to his senses and erasing the random thoughts in his mind.

What the hell am I thinking about? I'm the one who knows best that Hong wouldn't do that, right?

With a self-deprecating laugh, Jiaye silently apologized to Hong in his heart for not trusting her, and then suddenly jumped down when the height of the firebird exceeded one of the moons.

The firebird behind him dissipated, and Jiaye's figure was rapidly falling without a foothold.

Twenty meters—fifteen meters—ten meters—six meters—

When it was about five meters away from falling onto the crystal clear surface of the moon, a faint ripple suddenly spread in the void, filling the entire moon in an instant, and the center of the ripple was exactly in the center of Jiaye's falling trajectory.

The descent continued, but for a moment, Jia Ye felt as if he had passed through a layer of air film, and then the scenery in front of him suddenly began to ripple and distort slightly.

When things in Jiaye's eyes returned to calm, he was surprised to find that a building with a unique style and exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere suddenly appeared on the surface of the moon, which was supposed to be empty.

The overall feeling given by the building is that of an altar. Door-shaped stone pillars surround the altar in a circle. Canals are scattered seemingly in disorder on the altar, with clear water with a glassy color flowing through them. It can only be seen clearly from top to bottom. The arrangement of the canals is not really disordered, but can barely be seen as the shape of an open eye.

In the center of this "eye", there are ten square stone platforms of various sizes standing quietly. You can see several smaller canals connected under these stone platforms, twenty-two in number, which vaguely connect these stone platforms into the model of a tree.

I don't know if it's because of the orientation, but Jiaye always feels that this "tree" seems to be upside down.

Although he was somewhat surprised by the scenery before him and the existence of such a seemingly man-made object in his inherent barrier, Jiaye did not lose his mind.

Just as he was about to fall to the ground, a layer of stacked telekinetic shields suddenly appeared in the air under Jiaye's feet. Then Jiaye stepped heavily, and suddenly these telekinetic shields that were stacked together like bowls and plates shattered layer by layer. Because Jiaye had a foothold, he was able to unload and borrow force, and thus land on the ground intact.

"Is this right here?"

Looking around, Jia Ye discovered that after leaving the altar under his feet, the rest of the place was just an empty and lonely crystal surface.

[This is the reversed Kabbalah. Although our goal is to get it upright, since we are here, let's take away what's inside.]

Ge Jiuye's voice sounded in his mind, responding to Jiaye's question.

"Is it really the Kabbalah Tree of Life?"

Jia Ye understood.

"Come to think of it, the things here weren't left here by you or me in a previous life, right? Including these eyes?"

[I don't know. I don't have any relevant memories, but I can't guarantee whether some of my memories were deliberately erased by our past selves, or whether they were lost due to being beaten to a state of mental disability.]

"...Then how do you know that the things here can help me escape the inherent barrier?"

Jia Ye said that he had a lot of complaints and didn't know whether he should complain or not.

Because that’s what my intuition says.

Ge Jiuye said confidently.

"If it weren't for my intuition telling me that you wouldn't hurt me, I would have doubted you by now."

After complaining helplessly, Jiaye slowly stepped into the "eye" formed by the canal and walked to the edge of the stone platform in the shape of the "Reverse Kabbalah Tree of Life".

"What to do next?"

【stare.】

"...?"

[I glared at the center, that's what I remembered saying.]

"Are you putting the blame on memory?"

[That's what I remember saying anyway, it's up to you whether you glare at me or not.]

"......stare."

Jia Ye silently stepped onto the stairs formed by the telekinetic shield and came to the top of the altar. After climbing to a height where he could just take in his entire "eye", he opened his eyes wide and glared at the altar below.

Perhaps it was just his illusion, he felt as if a dark light flashed on the retina of his left eye, but it disappeared before his consciousness could react.

He subconsciously reached out to cover his left eye, but suddenly discovered with his remaining right eye that the water flowing in the canals on the altar suddenly turned into a flame color similar to his pupils, while the small canals connecting the stone platforms turned into a dark green color that made people feel disgusted.

Immediately afterwards, the entire altar began to shake, from slow to intense, and in the end, it almost reached the level that could be called a "major earthquake."

However, despite such a violent vibration, other places outside the range of the altar were as cold and peaceful as if nothing had happened.

Of course, it is also possible that there are no obvious features in other places, so even if there is a vibration, it cannot be seen.

Jia Ye didn't have the mind to think about these things now, because at this moment his attention was completely attracted by the scenery in front of him.

Accompanied by violent vibrations, the stone platform began to gradually show signs of moving toward the center.

Whenever a stone platform moves from its original position, a red stripe hidden underneath is revealed. At first glance, it appears to be egg-shaped, but in fact it is a dark golden polyhedron with many irregular planes on its surface.

Amidst rumbling vibrations and friction sounds, ten stone platforms of various sizes actually overlapped at the lower middle position where no stone platform existed originally. At the same time, dozens of polyhedrons slowly floated up without any external force, and then gathered above the overlapping stone platforms, forming a thing that looked like a star-shaped polyhedron, whose shape, size, and material were all difficult to describe.

He lowered his hand that was covering his left eye, and did not notice the dark green glow of the "Reverse Kabbalah Tree of Life" pattern in his pupil. He looked hesitantly at the altar that had returned to peace, and at the star-shaped polyhedron in the center of the altar, which was the size of five people and was suspended above the stone platform where the palms were joined together.

"You're not going to ask me to eat this next, are you?"

[Has your brain circuit been distorted by shock? ]

Ge Jiuye was speechless. Normal people would not think of eating this kind of thing when seeing it, right?

【Just walk in. 】

“And then be eaten?”

[Hey, let me tell you, are you having a problem with the word 'eat'?]

"I'm a little hungry."

Jia Ye silently covered his stomach. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but the feeling of hunger was real.

[...I'll let the Shoggoth turn into food for you later.]

"It's physically and mentally unacceptable, and I don't know where the Shoggoths live."

[...Hurry in and take the stuff away, we need to go to the other moon later.]

"Yes Yes."

Chapter 39: Fandom

Click————

On the lifeless moon, under the brilliant starry sky and the indescribable earth, bathed in the eternal silence that seemed to make even death itself pass away, a loud shattering sound seemed so abrupt and strange.

Pong! !

Fragments flew everywhere. In the star-like polyhedron that was no longer able to form a shape, Jiaye, with two completely opposite "Kabbalah Tree of Life" patterns flashing in his eyes, walked out slowly on the remaining parts, looking down at his hands with a strange expression.

"So, after being mentally tortured in there for so long, all you gave me was ten puppets and ten weapons?"

"Anyway, you've already got the ability to leave the barrier you were looking for, and all these weapons and puppets are top-notch. So stop complaining."

"Ge Jiuye, tell me the truth, why do I always feel a strong sense of plagiarism in these things?"

Putting down his hands, Jia Ye asked seriously.

How can fan fiction be called plagiarism? It's just fan fiction—that's what I remember.

I somehow felt like these words had touched a wall.

A drop of cold sweat quietly fell on Jia Ye's forehead.

"Why worry so much? All this power is yours now. Even if it originally had an owner, do you have to hand it over just because they accuse you?"

Ge Jiuye said nonchalantly.

"How is that possible? My things are always mine. Other people's things are mine once they fall into my hands."

After saying a rather bad saying, Jiaye slowly closed his left eye, leaving only his right eye flashing with the pure white "Kabbalah Tree of Life" pattern, and then gently exhaled a breath of foul air.

“———<Master of Seal (Michael)>———”

As Jiaye called softly, the shadow of a huge "Kabbalah Tree of Life" appeared in the void behind him. Then, on the sixth sephirah "Beauty (Tiphareth)" in the center of the Tree of Life, a long-handled staff shaped like a key slowly extended out from it, then disintegrated into countless starlights and gathered into Jiaye's outstretched right hand, and condensed into a complete form again.

“Open (Rataibu).”

Pointing the end of the metal teeth at the void in front of him, Jia Ye gently turned the "Seal Master" in his hand as if opening a door.

Along with the sound of unlocking from nowhere, an intangible illusory door with the "Unsealing Master" as its center began to slowly emerge and open in front of Jiaye. The scene behind the door was the one that Jiaye was familiar with, the room he and Hong lived in Chaldea.

"The magic power consumption is really huge."

Feeling half of the magic power in his body being drained away in an instant, Jiaye closed his eyes and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Being able to use half of my magic power to travel through parallel worlds, any other magician would probably be thrilled to death, yet you actually despise it."

In the world of consciousness, Ge Jiuye was lying on the bed, looking at the water mirror in front of him that reflected the scene that Jia Ye saw, and said with contempt.

"Then they will really be so excited that their magic power will be exhausted and die. After all, half of my magic power is equivalent to twice theirs."
