Chapter 703: Chapter 323 The Crack on The City Wall

Just as the shadow of a Security Guard had once emerged behind Wei Shan, now the Boss and the Physical Education Teachers stood together, holding old kerosene lamps, conjuring the shadow of the Night Watchman.

But unlike Wei Shan’s half-formed shadow of the Security Guard, this shadow of the Night Watchman was incomparably real, as if summoning the upper body of a real Night Watchman!

The Graveyard of the Deceased watched intently, with black tides surging ceaselessly. Lin Yi felt his position was quite awkward. The changes in Layers surely included him, but because the Graveyard of the Deceased restricted his path back to the corporeal form, it was like experiencing frame drops while trying to navigate a map in a game, stuck in some death corner, unable to move forward or retreat—it was really hard to endure.

Then, the Graveyard of the Deceased frantically assaulted him with bizarre chants, sentence after sentence of "I AvgruNnen av tåKe og jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome" echoed in his ears like some old lady reciting scriptures, yet Lin Yi... almost fucking got used to it!

Actually, that wasn’t the case; his brain had devoted all its computing power to tracking and restructuring the Giant Dome, with no spare capacity to "heed the teachings".

This was truly the so-called Sage Mode.

When you exhaust all your Mental Power on one thing, even if a XP girl to your liking were to perform a swing dance for you, you could remain as unmoved as if the sky fell.

It was a path diverging drastically from Wei Liang’s XP-focused Crafty Tricks, another kind of unorthodox approach—Sage Mode.

"Tired... Truly tired..." Lin Yi sighed helplessly. He really wanted to just sleep right through this.

Of course, he knew it was just talk. Tired as he may be, it was possible to go AFK(hang), as his willpower at this moment was truly Unyielding.

But sleep was definitely out of the question. Once asleep, even the most Unyielding will would become soft and powerless.

He suddenly discovered that in different regions of The City Wall, there seemed to be shadows embedded within the bricks of the wall itself.

Without exception, these shadows were of the Experience Students and Sports Students currently in the Giant Dome; they seemed completely oblivious to the changes in Layers, still earnestly enjoying the "Banquet".

"Wait!"

Lin Yi abruptly came to his senses. Rather than them not yet realizing the changes in Layers, it was more accurate to say they had no knowledge of these changes at the level of Layers!

In the eyes of Lin Yi, the Giant Dome had now become "The City Wall", but in the eyes of those within the Giant Dome, the Giant Dome was still the Giant Dome!

He was only able to see "The City Wall" because his Spirit or consciousness had fully arrived on this Layer.

Had he dropped a Layer, or had the Layer affected him?

Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly?

Was he Zhuang Zhou or the butterfly?

Lin Yi felt a choking sensation and could no longer contemplate these questions.

His Mental Power wasn’t enough.

At that moment, however, the voices of the Boss and the Physical Education Teachers resonated mightily atop The City Wall:

"’De som jager lyset i tåke blir til slutt fantomer’!"

The Cautions of the Night Watchman, which seemed unimpressive beneath normal Layers, but here, specific texts and symbols seemed to truly stir Supernatural Power, acting as if what was said became reality, manifesting as waves of sound pushing outward, drawing visible golden Ripples in the dark and cold World.

A magnificent sense of might that suggested "all evildoers retreat as the Cautions spread, and all actions face no obstacles," left Lin Yi profoundly shaken.

"Is this the true foundation of the Gymnasium?"

At that moment, he truly understood that these Iron Law of the Night Watchman were not something ordinary Polluters could touch.

The rules contained within were like direct coding for Supernatural Power, guiding the transformation of power from the Root, far from the little troubles at the physical level.

The difference in Layers was too vast, beyond measurement by conventional means.

Under the spread of the golden Ripples of the sound waves, the patterns on The City Wall filled in like the indentations on a handwriting practice booklet, gradually filled by the golden Breath... Until at last, The City Wall within Lin Yi’s Vision took on such a golden appearance.

Lin Yi was startled. He only then realized that "My World" was still continuously "writing" information!

And although he was already mentally exhausted, it seemed like he was locked with his last drop of blood in an Unyielding manner—no, perhaps it wasn’t a matter of willpower at the level of consciousness, but a kind of relative balance between supply and consumption!

In other words, at this moment, the supply his conscious form received, aside from keeping him hanging on by that breath of life, all the rest of the supply was completely consumed in "writing" information into The City Wall!

He had not only "Perceived" the construction of the Giant Dome Layer, but also on this Layer, "Perceived" the construction of The City Wall?!

And all of this... was like that time his body bypassed his subjective will and relied on Instinct to directly exhibit Self-healing capability, was his consciousness now using Instinct to directly bypass his subjective will in perceiving the structure of The City Wall?

What... what the hell am I then?!

Have I been isolated by "me"?

What is this...

And yet, what was eerie and magical was that he somehow found his own corporeal form embedded at a certain point in The City Wall.

And the moment he saw his corporeal self, he was thunderstruck, frozen in place.

His corporeal form now... seemed like a vortex, frantically devouring all surrounding Breath.

Yes, all Breath, a large amount of blue-green Breath, a small amount of red Breath, and traces of gray and gold Breath... all being sucked in by him headfirst!
