But Gu Ya’s gaze was not on what was ahead.
At this moment, he had already seen every detail of every corner of this room within the [Star Structure Blueprint].
The brown-yellow earth, on which every tree and every boulder could be clearly seen.
The ground was getting closer and closer,
So close that it felt like he could crash into it with a single blink.
Now, only a small measure was needed to slow down the descent!
Suddenly, Gu Ya’s body felt as if it were suddenly held up by something.
He bounced sharply upwards, causing his speed to drop.
Then, Gu Ya’s body bounced again in mid-air, his speed continuing to decrease.
As Gu Ya’s distance from the ground grew shorter, his descent speed also slowed down.
Finally, Gu Ya landed steadily.
He took a breath, stomped his feet, and moved his body and limbs.
Lan Ya’s voice came through again: “Very good, you have displayed your unique technology. This is one of the results I wanted.”
At this moment, Lan Ya was in a laboratory.
She sat side-by-side with another person in a white coat, a large ring-shaped instrument fitted over their heads, used to connect to the consciousness world.
And she had truly seen what Gu Ya had done just now.
Just moments ago, Gu Ya, who was in the laboratory, suddenly had a mattress appear on his body!
The large bed had four metal hooks at its corners.
As soon as the bed appeared, the four metal hooks would latch onto the grooves of the experiment table beneath Gu Ya.
The position was extremely precise.
In a mere 2 seconds,
The bed appeared and disappeared eleven times, each appearance lasting a very short duration, only visible with a high-speed camera.
Gu Ya, using [Mind Activation], in the blink of an eye, frequently summoned the bed from [Void Encapsulation] to hook onto the experiment table.
Each time he summoned it, Gu Ya was caught by the bed, using the reaction force to reduce his descent speed.
This was how Gu Ya achieved a decelerated landing in the consciousness world.
Lan Ya’s voice came again, “Now, experience the wonders of this world.”
As soon as she finished speaking,
The giant mountain before Gu Ya suddenly began to shake.
Gu Ya stared intently at the distant giant mountain,
In an instant, the peak of the mountain vanished into thin air. Where the peak should have been, a perfectly semicircular arc appeared,
As if someone had used a sharp, circular blade to slice off the mountaintop.
Immediately after, the ground began to tremble, and countless grains of sand floated weightlessly to waist height.
But Gu Ya remained standing steadily,
“What do you want to do?” Gu Ya asked calmly.
As soon as Gu Ya finished speaking, a strangely shaped giant mecha appeared out of nowhere in the distance before him.
It looked like a powerfully built bear, but its head was an incredibly large and terrifying giant cannon barrel!
That cannon barrel was so massive that even if the recently vanished mountaintop were placed inside it, it wouldn’t fill the barrel.
Countless suspended sand grains rapidly surged towards the cannon barrel.
It was as if Gu Ya was surrounded by an oval-shaped protective film, and the incoming sand grains all smoothly avoided Gu Ya, flying towards the cannon’s muzzle.
The depths of the cannon barrel’s opening gradually lit up with a white light, which grew larger and more dazzling, even more brilliant than the sun in the sky.
It was about to fire a beam cannon at Gu Ya!
At this distance, with the width of that cannon barrel, Gu Ya wouldn't be able to escape no matter how he ran.
Gu Ya calmly opened [Code Tampering] once more,
Quickly browsing through the disordered code, searching for a means to block the attack.
He couldn't use mechas or any large equipment, otherwise, the laboratory would be destroyed, and Gu Ya would be trapped in the abyss of consciousness.
The light from the cannon barrel grew stronger and stronger, even extending to the muzzle.
The massive mountaintop instantly reappeared, hovering at the cannon’s muzzle.
The blinding white light behind it cast the mountain into a blurry triangle.
“Found it…”
Gu Ya quickly froze the code sequence, flicked his finger in front of him, and a line of illogical, jumbled numbers was added to the code sequence.
The giant cannon mecha in the distance suddenly vanished.
Almost instantaneously, the ground returned to its calm state.
Gu Ya also breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to continue using [Code Tampering] to alter the world,
Something more terrifying happened. Around Gu Ya, giant cannon mechas appeared once again.
This time, it wasn't one, but countless of them!
Gu Ya’s pupils froze, his tension instantly escalating.
There was no way to count how many beast-cannons were surrounding him.
They were densely packed together, like clipping in a game, forming a massive circle on the ground, encircling Gu Ya in the very center.
The white light emanating from the massive cannon barrels formed an incredibly dazzling white halo,
The white light submerged all surrounding scenery,
A vast expanse of white, making it impossible to see anything.
“You want to kill me…” Gu Ya said coldly.
“Since that’s the case…”
As Gu Ya spoke, he raised his hand and slowly reached towards the back of his head.
The [Star Structure Blueprint] showed a square instrument beneath his occiput, likely a device to assist his entry into the consciousness world.
A miniature drilling spider-like robot gradually appeared at the back of his head.
And Gu Ya’s body in the laboratory also had a spider robot appear at the back of his head.
The encircling white light beam cannon formation suddenly erupted with an even more intense and scorching airflow.
Countless white lights, with a roar, shot towards Gu Ya.
The originally dark brown earth was instantly engulfed by the white light.
Gu Ya, at the very center of the white halo, had eyes as sharp as a torch, and his mind erupted with the strongest survival instinct!
Only the strongest will can possess the most profound faith!
Faith is the fire that conquers darkness!
“For Ye Ying! For protecting those I love!!”
At the very instant the white light engulfed Gu Ya,
The spider robot’s eight legs emitted extremely fine penetrating lasers, piercing the instrument beneath Gu Ya’s occiput.
The white light instantly annihilated, and boundless darkness and coldness rushed in.
Gu Ya stood in the vast darkness, countless memories flashing through his mind, appearing and then dissipating.
But Gu Ya maintained his initial, strongest faith.
A powerful and resolute voice echoed constantly in Gu Ya’s mind!
For Ye Ying, he must go back.
Become the strongest person in the world, change this world!!
A mere abyss of consciousness cannot defeat me!
I will dominate the boundless darkness!!!
“Ah——!”
Gu Ya exerted all his strength and shouted!
A beam of white light suddenly tore through the darkness!
“Ah!!!”
Gu Ya roared, abruptly opening his eyes. He sat up from the bed with a start. Before he could even get a full view of the laboratory, he jumped off the bed and summoned his full exoskeleton armor.
A trace of crimson instantly appeared in his hand!
The crimson light saber was held horizontally, pointing towards Lan Ya in front of him.
The laboratory door was heavily slammed open, and three agile individuals in exoskeleton armor, holding guns, rushed in, all aiming at Gu Ya.
Lan Ya’s red lips were tightly pressed together, her gaze calm as she looked at Gu Ya, her voice flat, saying, “You win, I lose.”
Gu Ya slowly brought the light saber closer to Lan Ya’s neck.
The scorching radiation from the light saber baked Gu Ya’s fair neck into a circular wound, emitting a “sizzling” smell of cooked flesh.
“Don’t kill her! She’s doing this for your own good!” Fang Fei’s shout arrived first, followed by her rushing into the room and grabbing Gu Ya’s hand holding the light saber.
“Gu Ya, the superiors are doing this for you,” Fang Fei explained frantically.
Gu Ya narrowed his eyes, wishing he could kill Lan Ya,
But at this moment, Fang Fei’s appearance made the entire situation more complex.
There was a hidden story behind this.
Gu Ya pressed his thumb on the hilt, and the light saber instantly retracted into the hilt.
Fang Fei quickly pulled out a hemostatic patch and pressed it onto the wound on Lan Ya’s neck.
The three individuals holding guns slowly lowered their weapons and silently exited the room.
The man in the white coat beside Lan Ya also lowered his head and left.
“Speak, why,” Gu Ya said coldly.
Lan Ya looked at Gu Ya and got straight to the point: “One of your eleven consciousness domain scientists is one of my people.”
Gu Ya nodded. This was an important clue, explaining why Lan Ya had the consciousness materialization equipment.
Lan Ya continued: “I have studied your experimental data. The abyss of consciousness is a huge challenge you will face in the future, and it must be prevented in advance.”
“That’s not the key,” Gu Ya said coldly.
Lan Ya said, “I want to recruit you.”
“Insufficient motive!” Gu Ya narrowed his eyes, his tone becoming even more unyielding.
Lan Ya looked at Gu Ya calmly and said, “We want to use your abilities to completely destroy the Black Star Empire. This is a very long-term plan, and every step must be carefully considered and implemented.”
Gu Ya snorted coldly and slowly retreated to the side of the experiment table.
“I will not serve any of you,” Gu Ya said firmly and righteously. “I will only follow my heart and do what I should do.”
Fang Fei called out softly, “Gu Ya, our Special Ninth Department will fully assist you.”
Gu Ya coldly questioned, “Help? Or use? If it weren’t for serving the Xianxia together, I would have killed you long ago.”
Gu Ya then looked at Lan Ya and asked softly, “Did you replace Dou Mei?”
Lan Ya stood up, slowly removed her wig, tore off the synthetic disguise on her face, and then took off her high heels.
Her height decreased by a notch, and her face was no longer sharp and angular but rather Dou Mei’s slightly chubby baby face.
“I’ve been using you from the very beginning,” Dou Mei said, her eyes avoiding Gu Ya’s stern gaze.
Immediately, Dou Mei put on a cute, smiling expression and asked a shameless question: “In the morgue, did my body look good?”
Gu Ya had witnessed Dou Mei’s capabilities. She was fully capable of impersonating someone with a different personality.
He just hadn’t expected her to use death to deceive Gu Ya.
However, Dou Mei also hadn’t expected that the first time Gu Ya saw Lan Ya, he would immediately think of Dou Mei.
Gu Ya looked at Fang Fei and said, “Your Special Ninth Department is truly pervasive. After Dou Mei faked her death, you were sent to trick me.”
Fang Fei chuckled awkwardly and said, “Uh, actually, mainly, I quite enjoyed it…”
“Enough with that…” Gu Ya interrupted coldly.
“Now tell me, what conclusions have you reached regarding the consciousness experiments?”
