Chapter 972: Chapter 452: Reconstructing the Body with Ashes

Because the quantum state itself has no concept of time, even surpassing time, if every "Ashen Apostle" that ignites like he did earlier falls into consciousness, then it means that in the time dimension, there exist countless "Ashen Apostle" consciousnesses, which also explains the origin of those countless vortex-like patterns!

The "Ashen Apostle" can be "unique," but also "all-encompassing"!

Moreover, this "state" of the "Ashen Apostle" should be extremely unstable, because ashes themselves are unstable, and even the bearer, if exceeded, will burn extremely, just like the "Ashen Apostle·Fireman".

Once burned out, perhaps it will perish.

"Just like... ’Heavenly Tribulation’?"

"Yes! Perhaps it can be compared to ’Heavenly Tribulation’!"

Once you become an "Ashen Apostle", it means a heavenly tribulation is descending. Only by breaking through the shackles of the "Ashen Apostle" in a limited time can one possibly be reborn and become a higher-level lifeform!

Failure, however, means falling.

As for the units that can’t even bear the ashes, they are just unlucky ones who perish the moment they touch the breath of the heavenly tribulation.

This is the "Ashen Apostle"!

Lin Yi felt that he saw through the mysteries of the "Ashen Apostle" path!

Therefore, he set several stages in his mind for the "Ashen Apostle"—the "Burn Level", which initially touches ashes but cannot bear them, like the former Class Teacher-039; the "Carrying Level," like himself, who bears ashes but remains undying; then the "Burning Level," like the "Non-existent Person," who has already started burning...

As for the "Conceptual level sculpture," he believes it is essentially the projection of the "Ashen Apostle" path in the real world, the "Complete form state" of the "Ashen Apostle"—a quantum state life structure that cannot be killed.

But because the "Ashen Apostle" itself has a desire for "ashes," it will surely hunt other "Ashen Apostles" in the real world, because for its complete form, the incomplete ones are ultimately just a form of "Ash Aggregation."

Like a greedy snake, just burst the opponent to turn them into food to devour.

"Now both the conceptual sculpture and I are glassy, and shiny... If I encounter it, can I escape?"

After thinking about it, Lin Yi looked back at his almost fully reconstructed flesh and couldn’t help but ponder this question.

Lin Yi didn’t consider the question "can I defeat it" because instinctively he knew he couldn’t. To be cautious, survival was the priority, not rash confrontation.

After his body was fully reconstructed in the burning ashes, the pulling sensation from the door ashes lessened significantly.

He tried to tug, and the resistance was still there but noticeably weaker.

So he attempted to break free, but... the ashes still clung to him like lotus threads, no matter how hard he pulled.

"Why won’t it work?"

Lin Yi mumbled, then as if he thought of something, he tried issuing a certain command in his mind.

"Break!"

"Pop..."

To Lin Yi’s surprise, the ashes linking him and the portal actually snapped at the sound, retreating onto the portal, while the ones on him were reabsorbed, slowly penetrating into his body.

As the pulling sensation disappeared, Lin Yi felt an unprecedented sense of lightness and a relief akin to being reborn.

The ash flames on his body started to retreat into him little by little until they disappeared.

He looked at his body, his Perception penetrating his uniform into his body, and found that his body now seemed no different from before, but with slight guidance, the transcendent power that was supposed to surge turned into a sky-blue aura mixed with a crystal-like brilliance... _{fr.eew eb novel..com}

"Impure power? No, it’s not impure, it’s so pure it’s crystallized?"

Lin Yi clenched his fist, the sky-blue aura encasing it in an almost material form, like crystal particles enchanted upon it.

But this wasn’t enough, Lin Yi felt there was more.

So he tried to condense these crystal particles, and as they gathered, that part of the area began to refract a glass shard-like luster, an eerie yet sacred aura starting to emanate...

The next moment, as if igniting, a faint golden-red flame appeared on his body, identical to how ashes burn, but at this moment, it’s his own power controlled in his hands.

The appearance of the flame seemed to illuminate an area, dispelling some of the coldness around.

But just then, it was as if Lin Yi heard the sound of wind blowing out candles by his ears, in which a whispering call resided...

[...lyset...]

[lyset...]

[...]

A glint flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes, and he followed the sound to a certain place inside the convenience store...

The light in the convenience store was soft, but the temperature was colder than usual, with a thin layer of mist floating on the ground, like phantom tendrils emerging from below...

Not until now did Lin Yi have the mind to observe the situation inside the convenience store.

But what he saw startled him greatly.

The overall environment of the convenience store seemed unchanged from usual, but looking deeper, Lin Yi found that the situation here had already undergone earth-shaking changes from what he remembered!
