Chapter 394: Strange Ceiling
Li Yang and Oeniri were also ready for battle.
At this moment, Artemis suddenly shouted: "Wait! Maybe there is a better solution!"
As soon as she turned to face the beast, she said gently:
"Respected beast, dear beast... You are the symbol of people's ideal life. Since you are here, you must have your own difficulties."
"Why don't you tell us what you are begging for? Maybe we can satisfy your wishes and achieve a win-win situation?"
The beast bared its fangs and roared a few words in a low voice. Although it was not easy to understand, the tone was extremely angry.
Artemis nodded, as if she had understood something, and then turned to everyone and said:
"It says that people's ideals are often too selfish and destined not to last forever."
"If you pursue comfort and ease blindly, but often ignore the meaning and value of life, and then degenerate and greed, you will eventually be swallowed by this darkness."
"So, it is here to punish and purify our greed and depravity."
Li Yang's face was dark: "No... Didn't it just call twice? How did you hear so much?"
Artemis smiled, then sighed silently: "I understand... It seems that if you want to pass through here, you need to make some sacrifices and give up."
As soon as the voice fell, she suddenly conjured an arrow with her hand, and slashed her cheek with the sharp arrowhead!
"Fuck!" Everyone was startled and subconsciously wanted to stop it.
But Artemis remained calm and let the blood flow down her face.
She raised the cut piece of skin and shouted to the beast:
"Then please accept this sincere sacrifice! This is the beauty of my body that I have given up, which means I have given up my obsession with appearance!"
The beast roared, as if accepting it.
It stretched out its giant palm, and Artemis threw the bloody skin into its palm.
Then, the beast seemed to melt, and its appearance began to slowly dissipate, and finally only a flawless humanoid remnant was left, lying quietly on the grass.
Artemis also raised her hand slightly, restoring herself to her original state.
Then she turned back and smiled slightly, licked the blood stains at the corner of her mouth, and said to everyone: "It's passed, let's move on."
Li Yang stared at her in a daze, and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
This guy... is too crazy?
I originally thought she was a sunny, positive and energetic cheerful girl...
But now I see...
This guy... is simply a lunatic with a strange brain circuit!
Along the way, almost every move she made was incredible, but she seemed to take it for granted.
Under the leadership of Artemis, everyone continued to move forward.
After a while, the scenery in front of them changed again.
The grassy field gradually turned into a desolate black volcanic rock area, with low hills scattered around, the surface covered with cracks, and magma gushing out from the cracks from time to time.
The sky was gray and shrouded in a layer of gloomy fog.
The whole environment gave people a feeling of depression and heaviness.
"Okay, this is the fifth level of dream."
Artemis stopped, looked around, and then slowly said,
"Destruction and rebirth coexist here. If we want to pass through here, we must face the dark side of our hearts."
After that, she looked at everyone with puzzled expressions, and smiled:
"In short, it is what you are afraid of, and it will show you what it is."
"You just need to remember that everything you see later is fake."
"Open your eyes and walk from one end to the other."
"Not difficult?"
After that, she sighed helplessly:
"It's a pity that in this environment, the cognitive filter I applied to you will not work."
"So, you have to be prepared for the possibility of seeing anything later."
After that, she raised her hand and snapped her fingers.
"Snap——"
After a crisp sound, everything around changed dramatically.
This is indeed a volcanic terrain covered with lava.
But the black on the surface is not only solidified magma.
There are also large areas of dried corpses covered with volcanic ash, and countless painful and twisted humanoid faces buried underground.
"This is a civilization in a barred galaxy located in the constellation of Hydra, near the border of Centaurus."
"It is about 15 million light years away from your current solar system."
"When the first generation of gods were born, this civilization was used as a test field for gods to test the effects of cutting off death."
"The creatures on the entire planet are endowed with the characteristics of [immortality]."
"As a result... their planet, due to the movement of the earth's crust, erupted a volcanic eruption that spread across the entire surface of the planet."
"The entire planet fell into silence, and as for the creatures on it..."
"It took the first generation of gods a thousand years before they re-observed what was happening on this planet."
Demeter subconsciously said the name of the civilization: "The Undead Catastrophe of Iru... I have seen it in the history of the God's Realm."
Artemis nodded and turned around slowly: "The previous several dreams actually all have similar contents."
"The first generation of gods tried to use the power of the power of creation to transform the entire universe into what they wanted."
"No pain, no death, no dispute, no fear..."
"But experiments again and again have led to failures."
"So they smashed the power of creation and hid the method of using it in the seven dreams."
"They don't object to someone using the power of creation to change the universe, but they hope that those who control the power can know more about what happened before, so as not to repeat the same mistakes and cause the tragedy they have caused again..."
"But, that was a long time ago."
"Three generations of gods can easily break through these dreams and go out to wreak havoc on the world with the power of creation."
"Why can't you?"
"Come with me, relax, just think of it as a trip."
Artemis suddenly changed her style, smiled easily, and took the lead to walk forward.
Li Yang and the others looked at each other, then nodded silently and followed into the area covered by magma.
Originally thought this time would be just like before.
Just step into it casually, and under the guidance of Artemis, make some choices casually, and you will have no problem passing it quickly.
But...
"Buzz——"
Li Yang opened his eyes, and what he saw was a familiar yet unfamiliar ceiling.
