Chapter 90: Burning Fragments
Li Hyuk opened his conscious eyes and looked around.
The first thing he saw was the empty room he was in.
But it was different from what I saw with my physical eyes. My field of vision became gray, and the whole world was only gray and white.
The roof is gray, the walls are gray, the carpet under the body is light white, and the door on the far wall is bright white. In the air of the room, wisps of gray mist were floating, constantly changing shapes in mid-air.
Is this the world of meditation?
Li He felt doubtful in his heart. He remembered clearly that in the "Aum Notes", the world of meditation was not like this.
Could it be that he was meditating not in the outside world, but in Blackstone Castle? Because of the special nature of Blackstone Castle, the situation changed?
Just when I thought of this, I heard a crisp "click" sound, and everything in front of me was like a piece of glass breaking instantly.
The roof, walls, carpets, and doors all disappeared in an instant, the vision blurred instantly, and the surroundings turned into chaos.
It feels like being wrapped in thick fog, and like being in the boundless night sky.
In this blur and chaos, light emerges.
If you look carefully, you will see that they are light spots of different colors, some are bright red and yellow, and some are hidden dark blue and gray-black.
Spots of light continue to appear and are densely distributed around, but not evenly.
Li He observed carefully and could see that some places were densely packed and some were scattered.
The light spots are not fixed, sometimes gathering and sometimes scattering, just like they are alive.
Li He's heart gradually calmed down. According to the records in the "Aum Notes", what he is seeing now is the real world of meditation, and what he sees is the scattered energy factors of this world.
Only by absorbing and mastering these energy factors can we cast various spells.
However, due to differences in the human body, different people have different absorption efficiency of different factors. Some are more affinity to fire energy factors and can absorb a large amount of red fire energy factors in a short period of time, while some are more affinity to dark energy factors. and, can absorb more gray-black dark energy factors.
As soon as Li He thought, the energy factors around him quickly gathered towards his body. They were of various colors, but the red fire energy factor was the most numerous.
So he is most compatible with the fire energy factor? Or was it affected by the forbidden blood created from Mayfair's blood many times before?
Li He was thinking and thinking divergently: What is the nature of these energy factors? It seems that there is no such thing in the world he came from. Did he not discover it, or did it appear out of thin air in this world? If it is unique to this world, is it the source of all extraordinary powers?
But how to explain the devil's power? It seems to be another system.
Could it be that the energy factor is just a manifestation of the extraordinary original power of this world, a form? What is the most essential extraordinary source of power?
Li He kept thinking and saw that the energy factors around him continued to gather towards his body, entering the inside of his conscious body, and then drifting out again.
He was not surprised. Regarding this situation, there was a clear explanation in the "Aum's Codex": Successful meditation for the first time meant that the door to the wizarding world had been opened, but there was still a long way to go before mastering extraordinary power.
The first thing is to constantly meditate to improve your mental strength. Only when your mental strength reaches fifteen points or more can you be able to absorb and bind energy factors in your body for your own use, and then you can release spells.
So, this is just the beginning.
After meditating for a long time, Li He saw that the energy factors around him fluctuated violently and the space became unstable. He understood that the meditation time had reached a certain limit, and his body began to be unable to bear the burden and was forced to exit the meditative state.
Without hesitation, his thoughts quickly converged, and the surrounding scenes dissipated in distortion, gradually returning to reality.
But just before returning to reality, Li He heard a "boom", like something exploding.
The scene in front of him changed again in an instant.
He did not return to reality, but arrived in a dark place.
Looking around, I saw a bright spot very far away.
A little too far... Li He just had this idea in his mind, and the bright spots came quickly.
No, it wasn't a bright spot flying towards him, but a huge force pulling him towards the bright spot quickly.
Closer, closer.
As the distance gets closer, the size of the bright spot expands rapidly.
From a pinhead-sized bright spot, it became as big as an apple, then as big as a basketball, gradually became as big as a house, and finally filled his entire field of vision.
Look, there is a bright spot somewhere, it is clearly a burning planet.
Yes, a planet.
The planet is suspended in space, and his perspective is outside the planet.
At first glance, the entire planet appears gray-green, with continents occupying two-fifths of the entire planet's area, and the remaining three-fifths being occupied by oceans.
Based on the ratio of land and sea area, Li He was sure that this was not the Earth he had been on. After all, the area ratio of the earth's continents and oceans was approximately 2.9:7.1.
Moreover, the shapes of continents and oceans are also different.
This is a strange planet.
It is also a destroyed planet.
Terrifying cracks appeared on the ground, and dark red magma gushed out like the blood of the planet, pouring into all parts of the earth, burning with sky-high flames wherever it went. Part of the magma flows into the ocean. As the magma cools down, the water in the ocean heats up rapidly and boils. Then a large amount of water turns into steam, condenses into the air, and then turns into rain and falls, and the cycle continues.
From the looks of it, the entire planet is dead and devoid of any life.
Li He turned his head with difficulty to control his consciousness, looked to the side, and found that there were many planets not far from the burning planet in the dark space.
However, it has been dead for a long time, and there is not even a burning flame. The surface is charred and black, and it is all solidified magma, floating quietly as the corpse of the planet.
Li He's thoughts were racing and he was filled with doubts: What does all this in front of him mean? Why, in the process of exiting meditation, he encountered?
Is it an illusion?
According to the records in the "Aum Notes", some people who are not mentally strong enough will fall into various illusions if they meditate forcibly, ranging from mental damage to being unable to wake up for the rest of their lives.
But is this really an illusion?
Just when Li He thought of this, he suddenly saw the burning planet in front of him split open with a "bang" and split into two halves. A large number of burning fragments flew in all directions like meteorites.
One of the tiny fragments roared in front of him, and he raised his conscious hand to block it.
The moment the fragment hit the palm of the conscious body, the entire field of vision suddenly went black, and everything disappeared.
Li He was slightly startled. The next moment he opened his eyes, he found that he had returned to the empty room in reality and had quit meditation.
He looked at his right hand with awareness, and saw a small burn mark on the skin on the palm of his hand, as if it had been burned by a scorching flame.
