Chapter 625: Chapter 177: Unfilial Son_1
“What the hell is going on?”
Upon discovering the change in the Sea of Consciousness, Link swore out loud.
After carefully confirming it, his feelings were extremely complex, not knowing how to express them.
As it turns out, the Sea of Consciousness hadn’t actually merged with the “Little World”; its interior had just become identical to the “Little World”.
The real relationship between the Sea of Consciousness and the “Little World” is one of illusion and reality, darkness and light, double-faced oneness.
In simple terms, the Sea of Consciousness is a reflection of the “Little World” in a mirror.
Once he figured this out, Link understood the intentions behind the “Sun”, predominantly formed from the favored elements of the Wizard World Will, seizing the Study Card of the “Mind Closure Technique” and the Status Card of the “Multi-Threading Thinking” from the System.
Its use was almost identical to when Link, based on the “Mind Closure Technique” and memory palace theory, developed the Hall of Mind.
But, this “Hall of Mind” is too high-end, too realistic.
After myriad influences, the “Solar System” collapsed and the “Sun” exploded.
Following the drastic changes in the Sea of Consciousness, it became a “Hall of Mind” that was indistinguishable from the “Little World”, both inside and out.
“Franda.”
Link shared his speculation with an excited Franda, asking her to probe into his Sea of Consciousness.
“All right, sir.”
Franda sweetly agreed, unbothered by Link using her as a probe.
Link concentrated all his attention, ready to summon her back to the real world immediately if anything went wrong inside his Sea of Consciousness.
After making his preparations, Franda was transformed from physical to ethereal, entering the drastically-changed Sea of Consciousness as Link gave the command.
“Huh! Sir, your Sea of Consciousness now feels almost identical to the ‘Little World’, doesn’t it?”
There were no mishaps with Franda, but her surprised remark quickly echoed in Link’s mind.
“Sense it carefully to see if you can communicate with the original source of the ‘Little World’. If yes, see what differences there are compared to before.”
Link didn’t let his guard down or relax his vigilance while issuing further instructions.
“Alright.”
Within the Sea of Consciousness Little World, Franda complied, immediately closing her eyes to carefully sense the environment.
“This is so strange, sir,” Franda muttered as she continued to sense, “I can actually feel two ‘Little World’ origins. One is closer but more blurry; the other is further away but clearer.”
As she remarked, Franda attempted to communicate with the two distinguishable “Little World” origins.
Whether Franda noticed something unusual at this moment, Link did not know.
However, Link himself did notice something different.
As Franda communicated with the closer source, Link received an intangible hint in his mind, asking whether he would allow Franda to become a World Spirit of the Sea of Consciousness Little World.
Link didn’t rush to make a decision, allowing or refusing, but calmly waited for Franda’s communication to end.
A moment later, Franda opened her eyes and expressed her confusion: “Sir, sir, the further origin is the ‘Little World’s’ origin; as soon as I communicate with it, it becomes as clear as it had before, and I can understand everything. The closer origin belongs to this current Sea of Consciousness Little World, but there seems to be a door blocking me; I can’t reach this origin.”
“Try it again and see if there is any change.”
Link understood and immediately gave the command.
“Oh.”
Although Franda did not understand Link’s intention, she immediately followed his instruction and again attempted to communicate with the Sea of Consciousness Little World’s origin.
The same intangible hint quickly emerged, and this time Link made his decision, allowing Franda to become the “World Spirit” of the Sea of Consciousness Little World.
In an instant, there was a significant change in Franda.
A beam of light fell from the hanging Sun, shining on Franda’s body.
Franda’s body quickly expanded, then shrank back to its original size.
Her figure hadn’t changed ultimately, but her presence felt even more real and lively to Link than before.
Following her instincts, Franda subconsciously closed her eyes and stretched out her arms.
Inside the Sea of Consciousness Little World, Franda floated in the air, slowly rising towards the sky.
She ascended continuously, all the way through the atmosphere and into outer space.
When Franda opened her eyes, she found herself standing on a blue planet, from where she could clearly see an entire Solar System moving in the far-off distance.
After looking at the Sun, Franda turned around and flew towards the dark side of the Moon, following an inexplicable connection.
Link’s “vision” closely followed Franda’s movements.
After a while, when Franda arrived at the other side of the Moon in the Sea of Consciousness Little World and landed there, Link immediately noticed a gate-like hole nearby.
Before Link had time to ponder the purpose of this gate-like hole, Franda jumped directly into it.
The familiar spacetime extraction sensation surging through the inter-dimensional teleportation portal immediately emerged.
As the spacetime extraction sensation disappeared, Link noticed that Franda had already arrived at the back of the Moon in the real “Little World” Solar System.
From there, a similar gate-like hole could be seen not too far away, identical in shape and size to the one in the Sea of Consciousness “Little World”.
“Sir, sir, this is so much fun!”
Realising that she had returned to the real “Little World”, Franda immediately shouted with excitement.
Even though Link allowed Franda to become the “World Spirit” of the Sea of Consciousness Little World, the connection between Franda and the Sea of Consciousness Little World remained as if separated by a layer of membrane.
