Chapter 1901: The Essence of the Red Star

The Essence of the Red Star

"...[Approval]?" Chen Ling's brows furrowed tightly.

The youth nodded and continued:

"The reason why the Nine Monarchs could become the Nine Monarchs is because they absorbed the energy of the Red Star... And this energy can turn things 'approved' in people's hearts into reality... whether it is matter, thought, or... cognition."

"Aren't you curious? Why are the powers of the Nine Monarchs all their respective fields of research?"

"In the final analysis, it's the Red Star's energy that concretized the 'science' they cognize..."

"Su Zhiwei, who spent her whole life researching String Theory, turned a theory that hadn't been proven at all into reality; Lu Xun, who endowed Astrophysics with a romanticist color, his ability is not cold and mechanical calculations, but communicating with the stars; Wu Tongyuan didn't directly create any Formula, but specifically created a non-existent 'coefficient weapon' for himself..."

"In the former Gray World, the beast that was skinned alive by the profit-driven humans of that world, after fusing with the Red Star's energy, became a monster stitched together with nothing but countless skins, wanting to become human;"

"The sunflower growing in the polluted forest, after fusing with the Red Star's energy, grew into the shape of a Buddha according to its own mutated cognition;"

"The pterosaur skeleton dug out by archaeology soaring in the firmament again, that was its obsession to live another life;"

"Even a cluster of thoughts without a physical entity could thus transcend the fetters of the flesh, truly completing the 'infinity' of thoughts..."

"As for you..."

The youth paused for a moment,

"Where your power comes from, you should know best."

Chen Ling's body shook, falling into silence.

The core ability of the Calamity of Mockery... is 'Negation'.

Those unfortunate humans who died under the impact of the Red Star, full of resentment and unwillingness, bred a pure evil that wanted to negate everything, which is the source of his power.

Whether it's the Nine Monarchs or the World-Ending Calamities, everything, in the final analysis, is because power 'approved' their existence.

This is actually very similar to Chen Ling's conjecture. He had long called the Red Star's energy "Aspiration Power." The meanings of the two are equally wonderful.

"Then what should be done to completely solve the Red Star?" Chen Ling asked the most crucial question.

The first generation left words on the Spirit Tablet, saying that the method to solve the Red Star might be on the Red Star... Now Chen Ling had already arrived on the Red Star, and the second generation had also stayed on it for a long time. Perhaps the method to solve the Red Star had already been found.

But who knew the youth shook his head: "...There's no way."

Chen Ling was stunned.

"What did you say?"

"The Red Star, is indestructible." The youth repeated again,

"The power of the Red Star can concretize biological approval. Similarly, other organisms' approval of the Red Star will also be concretized..."

"This is why the core of the Red Star can never be destroyed, because as long as someone knows of the Red Star's existence, it can infinitely resurrect relying on the outside world's 'approval' of it."

"In the words of quantum mechanics, as long as someone is observing the Red Star, it will exist. Even if destroyed, it will be restored."

Hearing this, Chen Ling stopped his steps... A touch of absurdity surfaced in his eyes.

"...What kind of joke is this?"

As long as someone knows of the Red Star, its core can infinitely restore?

Just like as long as one has seen the Thought Calamity, the Thought Calamity can directly extend the tentacles of thoughts into the other party's mind?

One must know, the successive generations of Red Kings paid such a huge price. He also deduced the future so many times in the Akashic Tower, going all out to reach today, to damage the Red Star to this extent... But now telling him, the edge of victory they barely touched after sacrificing everything, is just an illusory bubble that can never be obtained?

According to this, no matter what humanity does, no matter how hard they try, they can never truly defeat the Red Star...

Then what did their persistence and sacrifice for so long count as??

Chen Ling was just about to open his mouth to say something else,

Suddenly, a burst of dull drumbeats seemed to cross space, sounding from the void!

Thump——thump——thump...

Every drumbeat falling felt as if striking on Chen Ling's heart, shocking his consciousness that had already fallen into self-doubt to incomparable pain.

At this moment, Chen Ling only felt like he was about to split apart. The grief and indignation in his psychology and the intense pain superimposed on each other, almost making him fall headlong to the ground...

"What's wrong with you?" The youth was stunned. He supported Chen Ling and asked doubtfully.

"Drumbeats..." Chen Ling gritted his teeth and spoke, "Can't you hear it? Where are the drumbeats coming from?!"

"Drumbeats?"

The youth narrowed his eyes slightly.

A moment later, he softly comforted:

"It should be the Red Star playing tricks... Ignore it, take a deep breath, it should be fine soon."

Those dull drumbeats almost made Chen Ling go crazy. He was forced to continuously make himself calm down and not care about the existence of the drumbeats. Gradually, that sound really weakened bit by bit, ultimately completely disappearing without a trace.

He leaned against the scarlet wall beside him in a sorry state, finally letting out a long sigh of relief...

Damn it.

Those drumbeats, what exactly were they?

Why did it make him feel somewhat familiar?

Chen Ling's gaze stared fixedly at a certain direction in the void, unknown what he was thinking about.

"In short, no one can truly destroy the Red Star... at least not in our world." The youth walked in front of Chen Ling, blocking his gaze, and spoke calmly.

"Not in our world... what does that mean?" Chen Ling keenly caught the key point.

"Follow me, we're almost there."

The youth continued walking towards the end of the corridor.

Chen Ling adjusted his state and quickly followed.

About two minutes later, the youth arrived at the door of a room.

Compared to other rooms, the scale of this room seemed larger. The door was currently open. Behind the door wasn't a small room like those containing satellite or nuclear submarine models, but instead seemed like an independent otherworldly domain...

Gray mist wafted on the ground. The sky was dark and lightless. Looking inside from outside the door, Chen Ling even thought he had walked to the entrance of the Gray World.

"In the Red Star's consciousness... there's actually this kind of place?" Chen Ling frowned slightly.

The youth walked into the room, and Chen Ling also stepped to follow behind. Just the moment one of his feet stepped into the door, something seemed to have grabbed the ankle of his other foot, almost making him trip and fall.

"Hm?"

Chen Ling turned to look back,

Only to see a pale palm actually growing out from the door edge like a Mushroom. In its palm bizarrely grew an eye. At this moment, that eye was staring intently at Chen Ling, crazily shaking left and right.

Chen Ling was stunned. When he blinked his eyes again, that pale palm had already disappeared without a trace.
