The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 528 - 444: The Origin of the Source Stone × Vishdair
What is the origin of Source Stones?
In terms of grand narratives, the creation of Source Stones was accomplished by a great civilization that traversed the starry seas.
That civilization had advanced to a level unimaginable to ordinary civilizations still shackled to the land.
It conquered thousands of galaxies in its universe, leaving traces of itself across the cosmos for millions of years.
And the Source Stone was the final twilight and resistance left behind before its destruction by some indescribable existence.
But if we focus on a much smaller perspective, merely from the viewpoint of individuals.
Then the birth of this great creation, the Source Stone, was due to just two people.
One of them was Presis.
An exceptionally unique member of that civilization that spread across the galaxy.
A...
Linguist.
No matter how many accidents happened to the Source Stone later on, no matter how many usages it spawned, its original purpose for creation was solely for one goal.
Since the existence that destroyed that great civilization was as indescribable as a deity and thus difficult to resist or fathom.
Then...
Let’s create a language that can describe and analyze all things and that indescribable existence.
And the Source Stone is that language.
This is the origin engraved in the underlying logic of the Source Stone.
And as Lin Guang, who already possesses some control over the Source Stone and owns the Black Crown, he can naturally see all this.
At this moment, it seems it can be declared without a doubt.
The will within the Source Stone that has always tried to distort Lin Guang’s thoughts, attempting to make him eternally sleep in this universe and become its vessel...
Is actually the will of its creator.
......
In an instant.
After Lin Guang spoke this title, the rhombus-shaped eye in the sky suddenly flickered.
It seemed to be provoked by this title, or perhaps a certain instinctual reaction naturally appeared as it gazed at Lin Guang.
Then.
Inside the Heart of Terra, everything in this Inner Universe began to churn, oscillate, and once more become blurry.
Whirrrrrr————
The golden waves began to rumble.
The Tower of Babel started to tremble intensely.
The boundary between heaven and earth began to blur.
Since everything is information, the boundary between reality and illusion seemingly becomes ambiguous.
In an instant, countless broken, fleeting images began to surface before Lin Guang’s eyes.
Life in the welfare home.
Creatures of strange shapes trekking through the mountains.
A battlefield harsh and tragic, filled with sacrifices but devoid of victors.
The laughter of children.
A plain, unremarkable flower.
The corpse of a shattered, deceased star floating in the universe.
Gigantic structures sprawled across the galaxy.
The Black Crown.
The leaves of the Golden Birch Tree.
An amusement park.
In an instant, an endless tide of information, unknown where it originated, washed over Lin Guang.
No logic, no sequence, even no connection.
——No.
Lin Guang actually knows where they come from.
They are from the information within Vishdair, Lisa, and the Source Stones inside himself.
But the information within far exceeds just their and his own memories.
There are so many more bits of information that were never experienced yet still preserved within.
It is information carried over from the Terra World via the Source Stone, this foremost information carrier, with countless pieces of data stored within it.
It’s hard to imagine that just the minuscule amount of Source Stone carried by two people could contain such a vast amount of information.
And that is the Source Stone. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
An otherworldly catastrophe from the Terra World.
Simply put, a thing that can devour, erode, and seal all external information, awe-inspiring, yet terrifying.
Seemingly, it can seal anything.
Time, matter, energy, life... everything, everything will be submerged and consumed within this burgeoning and receding black mineral.
Ultimately sealed inside its Inner Universe, transformed into information that will never disappear but likewise stagnate, never to progress.
Everything, everything will be sealed by it and then stagnate.
Lin Guang is facing this kind of outcome.
At this moment, gazing at that white rhombus in the sky.
Lin Guang can even clearly feel that his memory has already been mostly cleared up during the talent restoration by "her."
And this understanding signifies that some extremely dangerous situation is about to occur.
Just like a moment ago.
The scenes in his memory could be drawn out at any time, condensed into realistic illusions, and Lin Guang’s mind, even his memory, could be obscured, thoroughly entrapped within, unable to extricate himself.
The most terrifying thing is...
Because this will has already merged into Lin Guang’s previously shattered soul with the restoration of talent, becoming inextricably entangled, this obscuration becomes even more indefensible.
It’s like Lin Guang is choosing to deceive himself, to immerse himself in a false world without being able to wake up.
If she were to keep exerting influence through this link, Lin Guang would find it hard to resist for long.
However, at this moment, Lin Guang suddenly spoke lightly.
He pointed to the diamond-shaped crown above his head.
"Though due to Civilization’s Continuation, you cannot perceive my thoughts in real-time, you already possess the majority of my memories and have partial authority to alter my memories."
"In a sense, you and I have become one."
"The construction of the illusion just now is the 374th time."
