Chapter 1259: Weng Falos 3.3 (300)

Since this single chaotic image device before us cannot affect the lofty "Avatar Seal," Feng Jin decided on the spot to propose heading into the depths of the Eye of Dawn and Dusk to find other chaotic image devices for joint cooperation.

In the distance, the group discovered a Western Wind Compass that could construct a miniature rainbow bridge; after Feng Jin's manipulation, a somewhat narrow rainbow bridge materialized before them.

"Below, that whole pool of gold…"

Dan Heng lowered his head and only then saw that the bottom of the Eye of Dawn and Dusk was a scalding, flowing gold, radiating intense heat.

"The scalding golden pool is said to be the Eye's divinely chosen energy source. When you walk, you must constantly watch your footing."

"Hmm, well done, Feng Jin, now we can pass…" Suddenly, Bai E grabbed Feng Jin behind him, staring rigidly ahead, "Hey, watch out!"

On the shimmering rainbow bridge, a wholly blue Pegasus Memory Unit suddenly appeared, lightly stepping onto the bridge, raising its slender neck, and flying off toward the distance along the bridge's direction.

"What is that…?" Dan Heng stared at the fading blue afterimage, a flash of astonishment in his eyes.

"A winged Pegasus?"

"It looks like a strange beast. But this one… seems not hostile toward us." Bai E watched the winged beast's back, then suddenly realized, "Ah—Feng Jin, could it be the legendary …"

"I… can't be sure yet. We need to get closer to judge."

Bai E nodded: "We can't assume it's friendly. Stay alert and follow it."

Harry Potter.

"There are winged‑beast memories here… could Mimi have summoned them?"

Hermione curiously examined the Pegasus Memory Unit in the sky, "If it's not related to Mimi, could the appearance of these memories be linked to 'memory essence'? Similar to the earlier Pinokangni? Though Pinokangni was tied to dreams, but here …"

"The memory density here is clearly much higher than Pinokangni—it's even at the level of directly invoking past memories from the real world for use," Harry lowered his voice, taking the lead, "On this land, Miss Black Swan should be able to exert her strength best; as a memory practitioner of the Memory Court, she is the most suitable to replace Star as the Demigod of Time."

"Indeed, it's a pity she didn't come …"

"But one thing is also strange." Ron said, sitting up from the sofa, "Do you remember the Memory Court group's goal? They intended to turn Weng Falos into a secret domain of their own, but did they know a Extinction Sovereign was hidden here?"

"If they didn't know, that's fine, but if they did … the Memory Court's attitude becomes intriguing," Hermione's brows furrowed, a hint of worry in her brown eyes, "If the Memory Court knowingly coveted this planet despite knowing the Extinction Sovereign is there, they must have a high‑rank emissary supporting them; they aren't afraid of Laigushi, nor even of that Extinction Sovereign."

"The Memory Court really is deep‑hidden," Ron smacked his lips, "I thought Miss Black Swan was already among the strongest there."

"You underestimated the Memory Court, Ron." Hermione shook her head, "The longer these monsters live in the universe, the more sophisticated their methods, and the more seasoned they become; perhaps Miss Black Swan is actually young among them."

"According to legend, the hero Saneos had two winged‑beast companions, Suolabisi and Lunaibisi; they were her mounts and comrades. If they are still alive, perhaps they can help us fight Aigele."

The group followed the Pegasus along the rainbow bridge, but after it reached an open platform, it vanished.

"Is it an illusion? Or the memory dissipated?"

"How strange. That Pegasus differs from the other memories; a sorrow clings to it …" Mimi covered her chest with a paw, "…so heavy, it suffocates me."

Feng Jin, a bit surprised, asked, "Is this … Lunaibisi's illusion? Does its appearance mean there are unfinished matters here?"

Bai E, pondering, replied, "If so, the obsession sustaining its form must be intense—could it be the lingering will of that Saneos?"

Feng Jin shook his head, "We can't determine yet. In any case, let's take the lift up to the core of the Eye of Dawn and Dusk first."

When the few reached the upper area, they again saw the Pegasus Memory Unit from afar, standing before a corrupted, twisted monster, lingering without leaving.

"C‑careful! That one isn't a memory illusion … it seems to have a breath of life! But … it's twisted and dark … just like those Heichi monsters …!"

——

A Certain Scientific Railgun.

"Heichi creations … indeed, the Eye of Dawn and Dusk has been seized by these monsters as well."

Shirakawa Kuroko looked up at the monster in the sky, eroded by Heichi, which bore a striking resemblance to the winged beast that once fought alongside Saneos. It seems Heichi's influence reaches not only the ground but also the heavens.

"Actually, there's something I'm curious about." Saten raised a hand toward the Heichi monster's head, "These monsters seem to have no feeding mechanism, and the Eye of Dawn and Dusk hasn't seen humans for millennia … how do they survive?"

Saten and Chun often watched numerous zombie movies; the zombies there could run and move endlessly without rest, which seemed plausible, but 'energy consumption' is a problem many creators avoid.

Of course, she could understand. After all, those who seek realism in virtual works have their issues. Yet the sky is a 'window' to another world, and what occurs there is real; how do the Heichi monsters solve their energy consumption? They can't survive a thousand years without eating or drinking, can they?

The answer she could think of is 'Fate', since 'Abundance' follows such a mysterious destiny, but these Heichi monsters don't seem to be related to Abundance at all.

…It's just like a monster NPC in a video game; if you don't defeat it, it never dies, lingering forever at the stage until the game shuts down.

"I guess these Heichi monsters are extremely 'energy‑saving', " Shirakawa said, hands on hips, "Like hibernating snakes, they stay in a low‑power state until a living being appears, then become active. In other words, they slept for a full thousand years before Feng Jin arrived."
