Chapter 661 The Spirit of Existence
In the endless darkness, the long night, light appeared.
It was as if waking up between that conflict of light and darkness, the confrontation of two huge forces on the earth awakened something buried deep underground. It appeared in the form of light. The endless white light seemed to drill out from the depths of the earth's core. It gained entity under the dark sky and transformed into a vague form.
The spherical shape is like a cocoon surrounding some huddled entity. So shining, so holy, a pure white light that makes people almost afraid to look directly at it.
It floated there quietly, motionless, as if hibernating.
The Spirit of Being.
The embodiment of the white lamp is something that Shen You has never been able to pinpoint its origins. According to Oa's records, it has been buried deep in the center of the earth since the origin of life, but based on Shen You's past explorations in various ways, he is convinced that the spirit of existence is not in physical form.
It is said to be at the center of the earth, but it is actually an abstract concept. Although it is there, it cannot be seen or touched. After Shen You obtained the power of the white light, he seemed to feel it several times with the help of this link, but every time he tried to look for it, he still found nothing.
It's like you can only ever catch a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg, but every time you try to get closer it disappears, like a mirage of life.
After reading a large amount of European and Arab literature and experimental tests, Shen You began to draw an inference.
In the original comics, since the birth of the universe, there have been so many crises and so many major events over the years. It stands to reason that the spirit of existence is always there, but it has never appeared.
The first time he appeared was in the Blackest Night, facing the Black Death Emperor and the undead army he led.
Thinking back to what Ganser had told him before, about the balance of life and death, and the theory that white lights and black lights should complement each other, he suddenly thought that maybe this was the key.
Perhaps the reason why he was unable to call upon the concrete form of birth was because there was no death corresponding to it. He has never been able to awaken the spirit of existence, and what is missing is precisely its enemy, the Black Death Emperor.
So he put this research on hold for the time being and began to focus on searching for the whereabouts of death. And now when he finally found the opportunity, he made this bold test.
He dragged the Black Death Emperor into reality and fought him with the power of the White Lantern. The conflict of life and death indeed caused a reaction in the emotional spectrum to maintain self-balance. When he discovered in the battle just now that the life spectrum he was linked to had never been so active, he knew he was right.
The spirit of existence that had always been invisible to the dragon appeared.
"What's this?"
Zero looked up at the huge white light object and murmured.
"I could feel the warmth, and the stirring of power. So powerful, yet so soft, almost like."
". It feels like light, yes." Shen You said, "This is the spirit of existence, the embodiment of the concept of life in the entire universe. In short, all life in this universe is connected to it, and it is the essence of all things. the origin."
The amount of information is a bit large, even Sai Rabbit was a little down after hearing it.
For a second.
He immediately accepted this setting with his amazing adaptability.
"Good guy, your universe really has some amazing settings."
He considers himself to be well-informed. He has seen all kinds of powerful cosmic beings and abstract creatures with concrete concepts. But even so, he never expected that one day he would be able to see a living creature with his own eyes.
He could feel it. Divine.
"But its current state is just a materialized energy. Just like other lamp beasts, it needs a host, a medium, or a controller."
Shen You stepped forward and slowly stretched out his hand.
He could feel the white light approaching him intentionally.
“The only way to fight against death is life.”
Light made contact with him. He could feel the surging power, containing the rhythm of life, transmitted along his arms into his body, like the confluence of two long rivers, forming a swirling vortex in his body.
All emotions were mobilized to the extreme, and all spectrums began to race rapidly. Seven rainbow lights bloomed all over his body. The seven colors of light and the surge of seven emotions enveloped his whole body like a transparent colored shirt, with crystal light spots flying all over the sky.
The spectrum of life gave him a different feeling than before.
Wider and grander.
In comparison, it was as if he had always used a water pipe to connect to the river of spectrum to borrow the power of life.
Now, he became the river itself.
He can truly feel with his body that "life connecting the entire universe" is not just a talk. Now he can really feel all life, the entire earth, the entire galaxy, the entire sector, and even the universe. In his perception, it was as if there were densely packed light spots flashing in the endless void, each one representing a breathing life, and each one seemed to be within reach of him.
Now he is life incarnate.
"You! Are you using me!?"
Seeing this scene, the Black Death Emperor was furious.
"You used my power to awaken this intruder? This is something that shouldn't exist in this universe? It's smart and good, but you also happened to do me a favor!"
The Black Death Emperor raised his sickle again. The heavy footsteps were like an earthquake when they fell, and the sharp blade of the scythe slashed with the rolling darkness, accompanied by the cry of the undead.
Each strike was more vigorous and full-strength than his previous blows.
But it's even more useless.
Shen You's awakening of the Black Death Emperor was naturally not random. He had estimated the power that the Black Death Emperor could exert and ensured that the situation would not get out of control. Not only that, before doing so, he also gave Black Hand life, brought him back to life, and took away the most critical chess piece from the Black Death Emperor's camp.
Without Black Hand, the black light messenger, the Black Death Emperor lost his most powerful medium in the world. Even if he is dragged over, the power he can exert will be reduced.
It was already difficult for him to compete with Shen You just now, but now that the Spirit of Existence has appeared, there is no suspense anymore.
Originally, under normal conditions, he, the Black Death Emperor, couldn't afford to offend either of the two opposite them. At this moment, the two become one, and one plus one is greater than the ideal fusion of the two forms. Even though he can still charge with his sickle, at least his courage is commendable.
Of course, at least he is a rare high-quality sandbag who can test Shen You's ability in this new form.
The sickle struck, but before it could reach in front of him, Shen You had already released his left palm.
Toward the direction of the sharp blade, his five fingers spread out in the air, shaking slightly.
White light exploded from the palm of his hand, and a transparent air ring enveloped the white ball of light. The overbearing and invisible power was released, and the Black Death Emperor's sword failed to hit him at all. He suddenly froze and flew backwards with his head raised.
