Chapter 36 Accident
Shuer himself knew that the question was too straightforward and difficult to accept, but it was important, and someone would always do such bad people.
"Are you still alive?" Unexpectedly, Anika was not dissatisfied, but just asked lightly, "How are you sure you are still alive?"
"Uh..." Shul was stunned by the question, and didn't know how to answer for a moment. This is not a sophistry about how to prove that he is still alive, but a question of how to determine it. Of course I am still alive. Is he still alive? Can't I feel it yet?
However, he understood Anika's meaning. Obviously, Anika was sure that his other half still existed, because although he was separated, the two sides were essentially one, and they were not ordinary mortal creatures but gods. It was impossible for one side to have an existence disappeared but the other side still existed. Moreover, the power brought by divinity may also cause some special sensation between the two. Therefore, Anika was so sure that his other half was still wandering inside the crack.
"I can only explain it from the beginning." Anika sighed, manipulating Minni's body, and lying comfortably with four hooves on the ground. No wonder Lin Jing is so skillful. Is it really a habit passed down from his ancestors? "I won't explain the reason. It's no different from Luna in your family. It's just that she chose to try to relieve stress, and I chose to explore the root cause. You are a believer of Luna, so you should know more."
"Yes." Shur bowed seriously and bowed seriously. As a god, for the sake of the mortal world, he was not only willing to take risks personally, but also used extreme means such as tearing apart himself. Although there were reasons for self-protection, it was enough to win the respect of mortals. "Praise the Holy Spirit, God loves the world, holy."
"No one knows my true plans. Although I mentioned it to other gods before, they all said that I and the god of ‘some’ agreed to enter the inside of the rift. As for who the god was, even Wendy and Flora didn't know. It's not that I don't believe them, but I was too weak in that state, so I must keep it strictly confidential. If they really know, they have to bear this pressure with me. There is no need. So, without hiding all the gods, I chose a small large rift outside the planet and walked in."
"You walked in?"
"Yes, how should I explain it?" Anika frowned, as if worried about how to explain to Shuer and Moria in human language. "The other half is me, but there is a little difference from me. Ah, by the way, have you ever split the fragments of consciousness into the big crack? It's similar to that feeling. The fragments are you, and the body is also you. The only difference between us is that my will is stronger than you. I can control two myself at the same time and not interfere with each other. It's not right, it's still not comprehensive to say that..."
"Well, Lord Anika, I probably understand it." Shur also frowned, subconsciously tapped his thighs, and said thoughtfully, "But if this is the case, you should know the condition of your partner. And since it is your consciousness, there will definitely be spiritual sensation. The big rift has been opened in Pavatiga so many times before, and your partner can be found as you sense it."
"That's the key to the problem," Anika said with a wry smile. "I underestimated the danger inside the big crack, and the connection...is disconnected."
"Um?"
"If you use consciousness to enter too big cracks, you should know how difficult it is to form a connection with consciousness in the big cracks." Anika explained, "The rift is always consuming consciousness information leaving the body. The loss is proportional to the duration and distance. The deeper it is, the greater the consumption."
Yes, Sul understood that Anika was right. This is the biggest reason why the gods could not explore the world inside the rift with their will and had to enter with their original body. He brought the faith that tens of millions of people to continuously generate, and condensed into one and wrapped his own consciousness fragments. Even so, he still failed dozens or hundreds of times before he could barely succeed. Anika simply relied on his own existence to maintain consciousness connections, because existence was exhausted, and the connection was interrupted.
After the contact was interrupted, his own consciousness fragments lost their protection and instantly dissipated in the cracks. However, what Anika entered was the body, but it was not as fragile as Shur's consciousness fragments, so they naturally did not dissipate so easily. Therefore, both sides completely lost contact, and the other half could only continue to drift deep in the cracks.
"Okay, I can understand." Shuer sighed and asked, "Can you explain in detail the specific situation at that time?"
"It was all normal at first, and I'm not like you two, I know how to operate normally inside the big rift." Anika nodded and continued to explain, "I went about seven units in the big rift..."
"Hmm? What is that?"
"The interior of the large cleft is not a normal space. The concept of distance you understand is meaningless. I measure it with another standard. You cannot understand it now, so just treat it as a special unit of distance." Obviously, explaining such a profound problem to a mortal made Anika quite distressed. After all, the gods' understanding of the present world is very different from that of mortals in the roots. "In short, this special distance is not too far. It only took fifteen minutes for Pavatiga to pass."
"The progress was quite smooth at this time. Although I didn't know whether it was because of bad luck or the special nature of the crack, I did not encounter any material existence along the way, but at least it could move normally in the crack, and it could sense the energy inside the crack in all directions. Oh, I support your speech at the meeting that day. At least at that distance, I did not sense any unobservable energy existence, but the existence is in no reason for loss."
"Sure." Shur smiled a little ugly, and some of the speculation was confirmed, but it was not a pleasure at all. "What about... what about the evil spirit in the void?"
"There are many evil spirits in the void, which can be said to be endless, but they actually have no meaning to the gods, so I don't care about it in particular."
"Okay, imagine." Shure sighed, "Please continue."
"Maybe it was because it was too smooth that I was a little careless. I had to do a lot of things. Well, Luna, what you did before, not only did you maintain the large rift and prevent it from expanding or closing, but also prevent the evil spirits from gushing out from the inside of the rift, causing disaster to Pavatiga, but also hidden the existence of the rift and prevent too many gods from knowing it. In addition, the other half also had to continuously expand the field of vision and explore the inside of the rift. He had insufficient experience at the time, and he did not have the original planet to use like Luna, so he was busy and ignored the protection of consciousness connections. As a result, after I continued to move forward for a while, the connection began to become very unstable."
"Why didn't you withdraw?" Xiuer said in a tightening look and asked, "It's still time now."
"It's too late, no, it should be too late. I can't be so rash and too deep. Unfortunately, there was a little accident here." Anica smiled bitterly. "As the connection is unstable, the crack exit of Pavatiga has also become very unstable and began to expand outward violently. I must divide most of the will to suppress the crack opening. Otherwise, the crack opening will likely expand to a point that we cannot control in a very short time. If we really go to that point, everything will be finished."
“Hard choice.”
"Yes, maybe it's time to withdraw my other half first and then suppress the expanded large crack, so that it won't cause irreversible effects, but that's just maybe. I didn't dare to use Pavatiga's fate to gamble, but chose a safer method to suppress the crack opening first. Unfortunately, during the process of dealing with the crack opening, my contact with my partner was completely broken."
Shur sighed softly, not knowing how to evaluate Anika's choice. In fact, according to her previous introduction, as long as she let her partner withdraw slightly and pull the distance closer, the connection between the two sides will likely become stable again. Since it is not withdrawn from the Pavatiga's homeland, this process may not take long, and the remaining time is enough for her to suppress the opening of the crack. But this is not 100% safe, so she instinctively chose to stabilize the crack and lose contact with her partner for this. Haha, both are like this. Should it be said that this is the characteristic of the Pavatiga's gods?
“Didn’t you try to reconnect with your partner?”
"Do you think it's possible?"
Shuer smiled bitterly, of course it was impossible. He just asked with his last hope. The kite can be controlled by the kite flyer because there is a kite string connected. Once the kite string is broken in the middle of the flight, how can it be connected again?
"Okay, I understand the situation." Shuer pondered for a while without saying a word, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Just as agreed before, I will enter the big rift to find your other half of your body for you, but this process requires the cooperation between you and my Lord. Well, it is mainly your strength to ensure that Moria and I will not be erased by the big rift."
"It should be so." Anica glanced at Shure deeply, "I don't think Luna would object, either."
"So what should we do if we are lucky enough to find your partner?"
"You don't have to worry about these things." The goddess of forest explained, "There is actually another me there. It's just that the cognition of over a thousand years has not merged, and there will be no other changes. So as long as you find her, she will naturally come back with you when she sees Moria. What's more, although I will not come to Moria's body, I will always keep my eyes on her, sense my strength, and she knows what to do."
"Well, since that's the case, it's time to study a more in-depth question." Shure asked with his eyes narrowed, "Do you have any plans for this trip?"
“Not at all.”
