Chapter 1545: You are! What! Thing—ah!

Undead are relatively easier to understand information storms; one can simply think of them as large-scale soul shocks. However, ordinary living beings find it difficult to grasp how information can become a storm, or how powerful it truly is.

Before this, Anthony and the others had witnessed faith storms, but those were targeted at gods. Faith storms, however, evolve from starbursts; if it were a complete starburst, it wouldn't just target gods, but would be a soul shock that everyone could feel.

An information storm is a super-duper-duper... sized soul shock. It isn't just one or two times larger, nor is it the gap between a monarch and an ordinary undead; it is a god-star impacting everything with a magnitude exceeding tens of billions of times.

In the entire world, apart from the god-star itself, no living being's consciousness can withstand a shock of this level.

Moreover, when the intensity reaches this level, it doesn't just affect the soul and consciousness; even physical matter—such as bodies, trees, and even mountains and oceans—will be impacted. It will strip away all information.

"Strip away all information? What does that have to do with bodies, trees, mountains, and oceans? These aren't information, are they?" Nigris asked.

At this moment, they were no longer the only ones at their location; other Starborn had also gathered around, including the Elf Starborn. Under the cover of the Void Canopy, they listened to Ursman's explanation while trembling.

Under the violent, peerless information storm, only the areas shielded by the Void Canopy were safe. The closer to the center, the safer it was. At the edges, there would still be information lightning; once struck by that lightning, any Starborn would certainly explode on the spot.

The location where Nigris and the others were was the safest, like a sanctuary. Outside, there was a raging storm, yet here, they had the leisure to explain the formation of that storm.

"Is it not information? Is a body not information? Your dragon race's bloodline inheritance—what is it that you inherit? Is it the blood?" Ursman asked.

"Uh..." Nigris was instantly rendered speechless.

Bloodline inheritance naturally inherits the bloodline, but what is a bloodline? How is a dragon's bloodline different from a goblin's?

Naturally, it is the information within it that differs. If the information changed, the dragon would grow into something else. Therefore, Ursman's statement was correct.

"What do Starborn rely on to become Starborn? Is it the white crystal within their bodies? How do the white crystals of different god-stars differ? Could it be that the Starborn of different god-stars have distinct white crystals?" Ursman turned to the nearby Starborn who were listening in and asked: "Is there any difference in your white crystals?"

All the Starborn looked at each other. Indeed, there was no difference; everyone had white crystals. Without processing, the volume of each Starborn's white crystal was roughly the same, regardless of whether they were Void-level or Earth-level.

"So, what distinguishes their white crystals is information. When the information is crushed, a person's body cannot grow normally; they might develop tumors, become deformed, or age. As for Starborn, they simply explode directly," Ursman said.

"Then what about mountains and oceans? What influence will they suffer?" Nigris asked.

"Look at those lightning bolts at the edge. They are clearly triggered by the information storm. If they strike rock or seawater, will there be no impact?"

Having said this, Ursman added: "And it is best if there is an impact. If the information storm could penetrate the plane without obstruction, then wherever it passed, no consciousness or soul would remain."

Everyone's heart tightened as they understood the meaning behind Ursman's words. If rock and seawater could be affected by the information storm, it meant they could weaken or offset it. Then, on the side of the plane facing away from the information storm, many lives could survive.

If they were unaffected, it meant the information storm could penetrate the plane without hindrance. Even hiding behind the plane, it would be impossible to withstand a shock of this level; they would be dead for sure.

Nigris said: "There shouldn't be any other god-stars on this path, right? We can see Dilidis directly."

"Who knows? Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be, but these are not normal circumstances. Many god-stars have hidden themselves; no one knows how many god-stars are hiding on this path," the Elf Starborn couldn't help but interject:

"According to my star map, there are at least three more god-stars in this direction. I hope they have already moved their positions, otherwise, they have already been blasted."

Anthony sighed: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. At least with the Void Canopy, it blocks a portion of the information storm; the god-stars behind should be much better off."

After speaking, Anthony ignored those Starborn, summoned his own people, opened the Brass Book, pointed the pages outside the canopy, and asked Bonefis: "Can you see the information within those information storms?"

Bonefis shook his head: "I cannot see the information storm, but I can see those lightning bolts. There is information within the lightning."

Anthony expressed understanding; after all, Ang's Ring of Scales also requires seeing something in order to weigh it.

"What information is in those lightning bolts?" Nigris asked.

"A lot, and very chaotic. I will pick out what I can understand. For example, that lightning bolt carries the information of a god-star's 'breathing' over six hundred times," Bonefis said.

"Breathing?" Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Bonefis said: "It is some kind of intake and expulsion behavior. I feel it is very similar to breathing, or perhaps it should be called a tide?"

"So your kind of appraisal requires a translator?" Nigris was surprised.

"Of course. Unless we use consciousness to receive it directly, everything must be translated; otherwise, we cannot understand the god-star's information," Bonefis said.

"That makes sense. Just like when a skeleton tells us it is about to fall apart, we might think it is exhausted, but in reality, it is truly about to fall apart," Nigris said.

Everyone looked at each other. After a long while, Diluni said: "That joke of yours is really cold."

Skipping this unfunny cold joke, Anthony asked suspiciously: "If one uses consciousness to receive it, won't they be crushed by the information storm?"

After asking this question, Anthony's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He subconsciously looked at Ursman, who happened to be looking at him as well, with the same horrified expression on his face. Clearly, he had thought of the same question as Anthony.

"The master shouldn't be using his consciousness to receive it, right?" Anthony said.

Ursman immediately said: "No matter what, we must warn him."

Anthony nodded and immediately called out to Ang in his heart.

The rest of the others were confused. Nigris said with dissatisfaction: "What kind of riddles are you two speaking in?"

Ursman explained: "Bonefis said that unless one uses consciousness to receive it, everything needs translation. If the master uses his consciousness to receive it, he will be subjected to a massive amount of information shock, and his consciousness will very likely be injured."

Nigris's heart tightened instantly. With Ang's nature of needing others to translate even his speech, how could he not use his consciousness to receive information?

Just then, Anthony came back to his senses and said: "It's even more vicious than that. However, the master was prepared long ago. He originally thought the master was a god-star, and intended to give him a fright."

Just as he said this, the entire void suddenly shook. The entire Void Canopy trembled violently, and countless green lightning bolts were triggered at the edges.

Seeing those lightning bolts, Bonefis interpreted them in shock: "All... all of them are one sentence: You are! What! Thing—ah!! The emotion is so intense." ===== CHAPTER 1546 =====
