Volume 14: The Original End Chapter 85: Shapeshifter
Lu Bai completely sank into the illusory universe of his mind.
Having discarded all his own strength, he appeared in the universe of mind images in a posture of having nothing and being only in his mind.
Then, Lu Bai found that he seemed to have traveled through time.
The soul traveled to a land with nothing, filled with deformed and distorted things. These things, from the perspective of normal people, could not possibly exist.
Like a mountain range, the wriggling flesh; like the sun hanging in the sky, a giant mouth radiating light; the sound that turns into a gust of wind; the overlapping and dispersing blocks of color...
These strange-looking things make people feel that they have no value other than being indescribable.
"These are all things that are condensed from some of the knowledge and cognition of Hengbian's past. The reason why I find them incomprehensible and indescribable is because I am still unable to correctly understand these things."
"I need a step, a special step!"
Lu Bai had a corresponding plan.
He no longer tried to force himself to understand what these special phenomena represented, but simply gave them names.
It doesn’t matter whether the names can symbolize Them or represent Them.
Importantly, these things have specific names.
Then, Lu Bai began to create!
Since it is a mental universe, it naturally needs to have various kinds of life, as well as - "human beings"!
Lu Bai is not very proficient in mental creation, but the problem is not too big.
In this mental universe, all knowledge and cognition seem to have basic matter and energy.
At least that's the case for this mental universe.
As Lu Bai began to create things, some life began to multiply.
Lu Bai did not deliberately spread human memes, he just wanted intelligent life.
In this process, the first life born does not seem so "human".
They were a group of shapeshifters.
Perhaps influenced by Lu Bai's understanding of those indescribable things, the state of these new lives is not stable.
They came into this world ignorantly and started their lives.
At this time, the world was divided into two kinds of things.
One is an existing object that was manufactured by Lu Bai and given corresponding information and can be recognized relatively easily.
The other is the indescribable knowledge and cognition that Lu Bai has not yet disassembled and analyzed. These things are a kind of illusion.
Here, Lu Bai used some real-dimensional technology.
When Lu Bai was still a human, he could not see the underworld, the dirty land, or other real dimensions.
Only when he had a basic understanding of the specific symbols and some information of the real dimension did he successfully unlock those existences.
Cognition is the key, this sentence is never empty.
It’s like some things, if you can’t perceive them, then they don’t exist.
People cannot make money beyond their knowledge unless they are lucky.
However, if the money you earn by chance cannot help you improve your cognition, then one day this money will be returned to you in a way that is beyond your cognition.
The same is true for these indescribable things today. They are still in an unknown state, so they appear vague.
But they do exist, so...
"The real and the unreal will influence each other, thus forming an opportunity for cognition." This is Lu Bai's idea, or rather, this is the most correct idea.
The cognition of all things has always been to use the existing to understand the unknown.
The so-called science is to use a repeatable and verifiable method to turn unknown things into known things through verification.
Shapeshifters are a very interesting form of life, and Lu Bai can now be called the creator and god of creation.
He stood between the mental images, looking at everything here.
Shapeshifter, life now basically depends on everything we have.
However, Lu Bai only created basic substances and did not add too many extraordinary powers.
After all, you can't really take over the show.
The purpose of creating this world is to analyze the unknown, not to allow these people to follow Lu Bai's path and quickly master the extraordinary.
Moreover, life always has its own way out.
As expected, as time accelerated , the shapeshifters gradually formed tribes, scattered in every corner of the world, and also mastered some extraordinary powers.
The shapeshifter is a mass of gel-like thing with a layer of skin like broken glass on its surface. It shines brightly under the light and is a very beautiful creature.
Their social form at this time was tribal.
The system implemented is the chieftain and priest system.
Chiefs are the pinnacle of military power. They are physically strong and can compress and magnify themselves to the maximum extent.
Through this compression and amplification, they are able to transform part of their body into hard tools.
The priest is an individual who explores the mysteries.
The shapeshifter's body has the ability to transform, and this ability is divided into two aspects.
One aspect is the physical change, and the other aspect is the mysterious change.
The physical change is like the chief's. First, the shape changes, such as from a round ball to a long strip, or some other more complex shape.
Then it is further refined.
The inside of their bodies is a gel-like substance, and the skin on the surface is like glass. By condensing, they can turn their bodies into a solid substance like skin.
Just like the chief of the Bildehas tribe, he can transform into hardened weapons that are extremely sharp and tough.
A further step is the opposite dispersion.
It changes from a gel-like state to a completely liquid state, flowing like water, including the skin.
It is said that one of the most powerful shapeshifters has even developed a method to transform into a gaseous state.
In the process of changing into gas, a large amount of heat is released.
That method is also called high-temperature gas!
It is a top-notch secret method of physical training.
The mysterious changes are about seeking a certain kind of fit with the body.
During his practice, the priest would touch something, and at a certain moment, his body would change and become more conformed to some unknown great being, thus allowing his body to retain some mysterious properties.
Just like the priest of the Bildehas tribe, during his practice, he touched the great being named Erdehas and thus possessed a special power - the power of healing.
So they also called Aldehas the great god of health and healing.
Kad is a member of the Eldehas tribe and is currently a reserve priest.
Here, Ka means to obtain through prayer.
And De is an abbreviation of Aldehas. Their blessing is usually “De Hui Chang Zai”, which means that health will always be there.
Kad means to gain health through prayer, or to obtain the blessing of the god of health and healing through prayer.
There are many people in the Erdehas tribe with this name.
In this regard, Kade actually doesn't like his name very much. It is too ordinary and common.
Kad looked at the muddy yellow sun and calculated how long it would take for it to set.
According to past experience, the setting time will be different depending on the light and the mood of the sun.
"It is said that the sun is also a powerful god, but I don't know how to pray for his mercy."
As this thought came to his mind, Kad immediately collected it. Although the current Aldehas was not a monotheistic religion, the majesty of the god Aldehas was extremely strong.
If anyone were to notice this thought, it would be considered disrespectful.
Shapeshifters have no mouths or noses, so naturally they have no language. They communicate through thought waves.
The transmission of thought waves will transmit all of your own thoughts. If you cannot learn to conceal your thoughts, then your own thinking will be no different from opening your brain and showing others your thoughts.
After looking at the sunlight for a while, Kade felt that it was about time and began to prepare to pray.
Shapeshifters have no mouths or noses, and their eyes are actually their skin that looks like broken glass.
Their skin absorbs the light, which then enters their gel-like bodies, allowing them to see the colorful world.
And their prayer is to let the world "see" themselves.
Through specific movements, he changes his body, and then lets the light at a certain moment pass through his body, refracting different colors through his distorted and changing body.
This is the dance of prayer they invented.
In essence, this is a way to publicize one's own existence and allow God to see oneself.
And with the moment the god looks over, you can use the other party's observation to change yourself, thereby solidifying the other party's mysterious characteristics.
Kade has been practicing continuously during this period and has already grasped some key points. He can vaguely sense the existence of God.
This made Kad convinced that he had attracted God's attention to a certain extent.
After all, according to the high priest, you can only sense God if God notices you.
He could vaguely sense God at this moment, which meant that the light he emitted had probably illuminated the existence of God at some point in time.
And because of this situation, he could feel his body was enjoying a bit more.
It is a very dangerous thing for a shapeshifter to be injured.
If you fail to master the solid transformation method, once the skin is broken, the gelatinous body inside will easily leak out.
Even if he changes his body and covers the wound with other parts, it would still be equivalent to permanent disability.
In this dangerous world, disability means death.
Only by mastering the method of solid transformation and having a way to make the body solidify permanently can one heal one's wounds.
This is not an easy thing to do, and only a few warriors and chiefs in their tribe possess this power.
Therefore, the status of the Aldehas priests who have mastered the method of healing others is so high. After all, no one wants to be disabled forever once they are injured.
Kade wanted to become such a respected priest...
The next moment, he turned his body and saw the sun!
