Deep in the Living-Chapter 872 - 851: The Great Being

Capítulo 872: Chapter 851: The Great Being

Hoo…

Take a deep breath.

The scorching heat from the spine completely dispelled the last trace of deathly chill, and Luo Di had no idea how long the process took, but his mind was extraordinarily calm, no longer caring about so-called priorities. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Whether the contact is earlier or later,

One only needs to do their best.

Walking through this maze seemingly designed for giants, Luo Di couldn’t help using the Landlord’s physique as a reference, needing almost the largest stature to barely match the maze.

Encountered nothing along the way,

No ancient individuals,

No remnants of divinity,

No participants or any potential threats.

Luo Di could have started running, but his pace remained constant, merely walking normally.

Not knowing how long he walked,

Something inside him suddenly sensed.

Directly breaking free of Luo Di’s subjective control, it emerged from within.

It was precisely the hidden reward from the “videotape incident”: a credential from the Corners, a claim of divinity.

The finger once molded by Mr. Kraft into a “ring.”

Luo Di knew very well,

This finger was part of the Prison Director’s arm, and the current sensing indicated proximity to the destination.

Yet, the finger still maintained the shape of a “ring,” as if it had already adapted.

It slipped directly onto Luo Di’s finger,

Serving as both a guiding tool,

And urging Luo Di to make contact promptly.

“It seems the Prison Director’s arm is just ahead,

The last stretch of this great selection is surprisingly easy to traverse, with no risk of elimination… or perhaps the true test is solely to ‘make contact with the arm.’

Hua Yuan, next you’ll need to deeply hide within me, shutting down all your senses.

You haven’t obtained the qualification to make contact, any direct or indirect interaction with the Prison Director’s arm could put you at risk.”

Luo Di’s reminder seemed unnecessary.

Hua Yuan made no response; she had long sensed danger and had transformed into a static comic, hiding deep within thought.

Buzz! A ringing in the ears, accompanied by the vibration of the ring.

Luo Di had reached the deepest part of the maze, the final passageway.

This passageway had changed subtly; the originally wide corridor began to compress inward, getting smaller until the end was almost just a gap.

A gap structure much like “Corner.”

Thus, it was impossible to stand between the passages and directly peer at the Prison Director’s arm.

Luo Di needed to pass through, directly reaching the arm’s “fall point,” the origin site of Corner, to closely observe and feel that origin structure.

Hoo…

Breathing in and out with thin mist.

Remaining calm, Luo Di took steps forward, arriving at the gap.

When he intended to enter, it felt as if entering a corner of the human world, the gap pulled him directly in.

The instant his vision switched,

Tree…

Luo Di was certain that the first thing he saw should be a tree,

A monumental tree,

A tree glued to the ground, as vast as a mountain in size.

This tree reached the sky, pierced the clouds, seemingly with more branches and leaf structures above.

But Luo Di couldn’t see clearly, his eyes even began to hurt, with brain-like fluid seeping outward from his eye sockets.

Relying on his spine for support, he kept watching, slowly observing…

He realized this should be the brain’s self-protection, deliberately filtering the image before him, or perhaps the sense of the scene in an instant exceeded his limits of perception, resulting in only a “crude picture.”

Just like a giant photo attempting to be transferred to a hard drive, even the fastest modern solid-state drives would require a long time.

Uncertain how long it had been,

The “tree” ahead changed, the bark turned into an old wrinkled skin, or perhaps an ancient rock layer.

Various shaped fingers hung all over the tree’s surface, all hanging down lifeless.

Some fingers resembled human fingers, some grew evident fuzz structures, some split in the middle with teeth growing inside, and others were like coarse hard flagella.

No matter the structure, they were all “fingers,” scattered across the tree’s surface.

So this tree should be the Prison Director’s arm…

No…

Luo Di refuted the cognition his brain had formed.

He slowly raised his gaze upwards,

On the top end of this finger-laden tree, above the vast cloud bank, in the cosmic depths, it connected to a larger structure.

There were more fingers up there,

More branching structures.

Luo Di’s body began to tremble,

The overload of accepted images caused the entire body to spasm, the exposed spine continuously releasing steam, yet Luo Di still managed to stand.

Luo Di knew very well,

This was the true test in the second half of the great selection,

If even the Prison Director’s arm couldn’t be correctly perceived, the eventual acceptance would definitely fail.

He quickly overturned the perception of the “arm” concept, and re-evaluated the “tree” before him.

Drip-drip-drip~ brain fluid continuously dripped onto the ground,

Yet Luo Di became increasingly excited, he finally understood the so-called full picture.

He understood why the Prison Director was called a “great being,”

Because it was truly “great,”

So great that it was beyond imagination,

So great that even its fall required utmost care,

A slight error could obliterate the Earth, destroying an entire star system.

The arm hadn’t really “fallen” onto the planet’s other side,

But the smallest finger on the arm barely touched the world’s backside at an almost-zero pace to ensure no harm to this star.

What Luo Di saw ahead,

Located at the Corner Depths, in the maze’s center, this tree as colossal as a mountain could, to some extent, be called the Prison Director’s “pinky.”

Such “pinky,” or index and middle fingers, there were many more on the Prison Director’s arm, some even differing by dozens, hundreds of times.

And the varied sub-fingers on this “pinky” were just a subtler fragmentation structure.

The real Prison Director’s arm was too huge, far beyond the measure of a planet,

So huge that consent to store much of it in the cosmic deep, in the subspace depths, preventing its gravitational force from annihilating an entire star system.

So colossal, so ancient, so awe-inspiring.

This is the fear form when the universe originated, capable of incarcerating the mad god collective.

Yet Luo Di was still unable to fathom why such an existence would perish, or how it died. What kind of level must a tiny human like him achieve to assume the Prison Director’s role?

However, he didn’t dwell on it,

This time he came for one thing, to ascend to godhood.

Luo Di’s understanding of the old days had completed while in the dungeon, and his collection of divinity too, finished during the first half of the great selection.

Just as he prepared to step forward, for contact.

Luo Di instinctively turned his back, walking backward towards it.

Not out of disrespect to the Prison Director, but a natural response, this backward motion could effectively relieve mental stress, allowing him to focus on divine acceptance.

This time,

He didn’t reach out and touch a finger as before to borrow divinity.

Instead, he went backward, pinning his entire back against it.

He knew clearly, this time what he needed wasn’t just a weak gift of divinity, but to condense a Divine Status, so he placed what mattered most, the spine that had always supported him, against it.

In a moment,

Luo Di felt himself absorbed in,

As if a hand gently gripped his pituitary…

≮You have passed the prison guard’s promotion assessment, your Divine Status is forming…≯
