Chapter 589 The World Drops in Rank
Xu Si managed to escape immediately, and the Dragon Soul, through his voluntary abdication, directly became the world consciousness of this world.
Or rather, it became Xu Si's imposter.
As the very embodiment of world consciousness, Xu Si possesses such authority.
Dragon Soul was forcibly pulled out of the Black Building by Wanliuchun, transforming into a winding, dark blue stream of light that poured into Xu Si's small world along the already precarious connection channel in his consciousness.
That was a complete, undiminished true soul of a dragon.
It once slept within the seal of the Black Building.
At that moment, as it was thrown into that raging vortex of interwoven five-colored laws, the dragon soul suddenly opened its eyes.
Those were empty eye sockets without pupils, with two dark blue flames burning deep within them.
The dragon soul circled once in Xu Si's small world. Its huge, semi-transparent body meandered through the void. Where the dragon's tail swept, the fragments of the ground that had been folded and twisted by the laws of space were forcibly smoothed out to some extent.
"This is..." The dragon soul's voice was low and hoarse, carrying the chaos and confusion of someone just awakened from slumber, and he seemed to still have a certain degree of self-awareness.
It lowered its head and watched as its translucent dragon claw pierced through a ball of expanding life law light. The ball of light exploded between its claws, turning into countless tiny pale green light spots that scattered across the dim, yellowish-green planetary surface.
However, the terrifying shock that followed still made the Dragon Soul and Xu Si's consciousness teeter on the brink of collapse.
"It works!" Xu Si's consciousness finally got a moment's respite.
He dared not delay for a moment and quickly sorted out the power of laws that were frantically pouring into his small world.
The dragon soul's screams were torn apart by the roar of the laws.
He even seemed to have plenty of energy left, and surprisingly, he didn't collapse for a moment, which was beyond Xu Si's expectations.
The dragon soul's screams echoed intermittently amidst the roar of the laws. Its massive, translucent dragon body trembled violently under the impact of the five laws, and fine cracks began to appear on the edges of its scales. Cold, eerie blue flames seeped out from the cracks, like candle flames scattered by the wind.
But it didn't crash.
Xu Si's consciousness swept over the dragon soul, with a hint of surprised scrutiny.
This thing could withstand much more than he had expected—the law of time tore open an abnormally fast rift in its left wing, the law of space folded into twisted folds in its tail, and the laws of life and energy repeatedly tugged at its chest, yet it still had the strength to let out a scream.
The screams themselves are proof that there was still energy left.
Xu Si did not waste the brief respite that the Dragon Soul had bought him.
His consciousness, like a pair of invisible hands, reached into the raging torrent of five colors, beginning to sort out the out-of-control power of the laws.
His technique was neither gentle nor did it require any gentleness.
He forcibly pressed the laws of matter into the deepest core of the planet, like stuffing a raging flame under an anvil.
He introduced the laws of life into the still-forming mist at the edge of the star field, allowing them to settle, condense, and take root within the mist;
The laws of time were wrapped around the planet in layers, like silk being wrapped around a naked bead;
He folded the laws of space into intricate warp and weft, embedding them into every inch of the small world's boundaries;
He forcibly shaped the laws of energy into the foundation of this planet.
Under his guidance, the five laws gradually transformed from a raging torrent into an orderly stream, and from tearing each other apart into running parallel without conflict.
The cracks that had just been opened began to slowly heal after the power of the laws returned to its place. The healed law patterns were denser and smoother than before, like steel that had been reforged, with finer surface texture and stronger internal toughness.
"Damn it... damn it..." the dragon soul kept repeating, he never expected to suffer such torment after death.
Its voice carried a hint of gritted teeth.
However, its dragon body is still being constantly impacted by the power of the laws.
Even though he was unwilling, it still served as the last line of defense for Xu Si's consciousness.
-----------------
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Si finally guided the last out-of-control energy law into the crown of his small world.
The dragon soul's screams gradually subsided, and everything seemed to quiet down.
Xu Si's consciousness slowly withdrew from the small world, like surfacing from deep water. The roar in his ears gradually faded away, replaced by an almost empty silence.
The dragon soul still floated in his little world, its translucent body covered with fine cracks, and a cold, eerie blue flame flickered in and out of the cracks, like a lamp that could be extinguished at any moment.
Its dragon tail drooped limply at the edge of the planet, its tip immersed in the still-forming life mist, occasionally twitching unconsciously, bringing up a few wisps of pale green light.
"...Still alive." Xu Si checked the status of the Dragon Soul in his mind.
However, its harvest is also unimaginable.
Under the endless impact of the laws, he seemed to have been completely accepted by this small world and become a part of the world's consciousness, at least that's how Xu Si felt.
"You've worked hard." Xu Si said sincerely.
Without the support of the dragon soul of the E'long, he might have really been defeated.
Xu Si was willing to hand over a portion of control of his small world to the Dragon Soul.
It seems that it was severely impacted by the power of the laws, and the dragon soul's remaining self-awareness has completely dissipated, leaving only an empty shell.
This was a good thing for Xu Si, as it meant he had gained an additional avatar.
Before he could even see the changes in his own little world, the middle world he inhabited seemed to let out its final lament.
"I've really dropped a rank!" Xu Si felt this most acutely.
He could sense that the planet beneath his feet was undergoing some kind of fundamental transformation.
The rules are being rewritten, the boundaries are shrinking, and the elements are being rearranged.
The law patterns that originally covered the entire planet and crisscrossed like blood vessels, after merging into his small world, left behind countless empty passages, like dried-up riverbeds and barren fields.
Meanwhile, those empty passages are collapsing, shrinking, and merging on their own, forcibly compressing this planet from the size of a "medieval" world to the realm of a "small world."
Although some of the five fundamental laws remain, they are insufficient to support a middle world.
"The laws have gone out of control." Wanliuchun seemed to be able to feel the sorrow of this world. The earth was cracking, the sky was collapsing, and the laws of spacetime were becoming chaotic.
"No, it's about reconstruction," Xu Si finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse.
He could sense that the remaining power of the laws was seeking a new balance in an almost instinctive way.
Like a room with its load-bearing walls removed, the walls and roof, having lost their support, begin to adjust their positions on their own, seeking a smaller, more compact form to maintain their stability.
Inside Deer City
The deer-man lord, who was helping Ilya collect the body of the dead werewolf warrior, suddenly stopped what he was doing.
He looked up at the sky, and his amber-colored beast eyes reflected a layer of sky he had never seen before, shimmering with a dark golden light.
"Father!" Ilya held a roll of gauze and looked in the direction her father was looking, but there was nothing there.
But the sorrow that came from the depths of her heart brought tears to her eyes.
