Chapter 1514: Chapter 453: [World-Origin Object: I Am Here.]_3

But, using hair as a medium is much safer.

The texture of hair is fragile enough that if the other party intends harm and attacks with consciousness upon contact, even if one’s own consciousness is weak and the gap between both sides is vast, at least one could make a struggle or a resistance.

Not much is needed, just a single point of resistance is enough. If there’s a reaction of resistance, a Celestial Human Realm’s Divine Sense, even with the slightest resistance, can instantly break the fragile hair, severing the connection between both sides!

·

As the tip of the hair touched the Stone Tree, Chen Yan’s body suddenly trembled!!

He sensed it! He sensed a clear consciousness!

That was...

A distant sigh!

Within the sigh, Chen Yan instantly read the other party’s "emotion".

In this emotion, there was helplessness, annoyance, and also a bit of confusion, a bit of joy due to Chen Yan’s active exchange.

Such a complex consciousness, yet all layered within this one sigh.

·

This kind of consciousness exchange is entirely at the level of Divine Thoughts and Divine Sense, even surpassing the boundaries of language.

Thus, Chen Yan started to tentatively ask questions.

Chen Yan asked, "What are you?"

Answer: "I am me."

Chen Yan: "...", he took a deep breath: "Are you trapped here? Or imprisoned here?"

The other party was silent for a long time, slowly answered: "I... am here."

Hmm? Its answer removed words like "trapped" or "imprisoned".

Chen Yan thought it over: "You mean to say, you were originally here, always have been here?"

This time, the reply came quickly: "I am here."

Chen Yan judged that this entity’s self-awareness is still very weak, not even clear, uncertain whether it was in a juvenile state or became insane due to too much blood nourishment.

In any case, the other party’s self-awareness seems somewhat muddled, very chaotic.

Chen Yan seriously contemplated for a while; it appeared questioning was ineffective, the other party’s ability to express was too weak, leading to more confusion.

So, he slowly said: "I want to know your past."

This time, the other party was silent for even longer.

Alright... deep in thought, perhaps?

Chen Yan inwardly smiled bitterly.

But just a few seconds later, the other party transmitted a thought.

"I can let you ’see’."

See? Chen Yan was momentarily stunned, but before he could react.

With a buzz, the world suddenly spun around him, followed by a dramatic transformation in vision!

This consciousness impact did not carry hostility, nor did it attempt to follow the strand of hair to reach Chen Yan’s physical being, therefore Chen Yan’s Divine Sense did not trigger resistance or defense.

However, the other party’s consciousness was strong enough to directly present a series of images within Chen Yan’s vision through the transmission of consciousness!

·

In the pitch-black chaos, all was silent, dark.

This is the dark and cold sea bottom.

Beneath the fine sand gravel of the seabed, there lay something as short as a human’s thumb joint, slightly emerging, growing in the seawater.

Its shape is like a freshly sprouted seedling. Although tiny in size, it emitted a faint glow against the dark and gloomy seabed.

Chen Yan understood this was not its birth and creation moment, but perhaps roughly when "it" initially developed self-awareness.

Soon, the playback speed of the images began to accelerate!!

This small Stone Tree at the seabed was growing slowly.

Its growth was exceedingly slow; over tens of thousands of years, it wouldn’t grow more than a centimeter.

But as it gradually grew, the environment began to change.

The sea turned into mulberry fields, ocean into land.

The original seabed time gradually dried up as the surrounding terrain altered.

Finally, one day, the place it resided became land.

So, light emerged, there was sunlight, there was night...

Initially, it seemed that the surrounding world was filled with flames, distant mountains spewed fire, the ground trembled.

In the sky, dense clouds obscured the view.

Then, there was rainfall.

Initially, the air was extremely turbid, as if most of the time wild winds howled, lightning flashed, thunder roared, even a rain lasted for ten thousand years.

When one day the rain finally ceased, the landscape was no longer the same.

The Stone Tree stood halfway up a mountain.

The surrounding ground began to see moist soft soil—though distant lands still had mountains spewing fire, still had grounds shaking.

But gradually, more and more soil amassed—much of the soil was dust falling from the sky.

After untold tens of thousands of years, rainfall began to exhibit regularity, no longer stopped for centuries nor fell for hundreds of years at a time.

Rainfall became balanced.

Then, in the surrounding soil, green began to appear.

Between heaven and earth, life evolved!

The earliest were moss plants, and as time passed, the green became more dense.

Ancient creatures began to appear.

Chen Yan saw several giant beasts, some as tall as ten-story buildings, some with bodies like cattle and horses.

These beasts migrated near the Stone Tree, bred, hunted, were hunted, or perished...

This process continued for tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands, millions...

During this, the Stone Tree grew.

Yet it was evident it cautiously observed the world, without releasing its consciousness outward to communicate.
