Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning

Chapter 203: The Creation of the Mental World

Monkey followed Ye Chen’s guidance and walked to the memory.

As Ye Chen expected, that was indeed the vision caused by looking out through the red gel.

Although the gel was translucent, it was bright in color after all. In addition, he was using vision sharing, so the image he saw was a little blurry. It took him a while to determine through the outline that the space behind the gel was still the space in the fire array corresponding to the mental world.

Ye Chen felt a little regretful about this. The information he wanted more was actually the memory of the fragment of the Spirit Pool placed on the stone pillar.

He had basically guessed the situation when the array in the mental world was set up. After all, he had already witnessed the other party setting up the array center at the location he had calculated. Although the progress of that memory image wasn’t to the point of really setting up the array, it was probably only a few seconds later.

What he was more concerned about was how the secret chamber’s array appeared in the ice and fire arrays in reality.

However, since he had found some relevant information, he decided to read it seriously first. What if there was some important information?

Ye Chen thought about it and stared at the image seriously.

Outside the red gel, the blurry gray space was empty. The colors were basically the same. Only the door at the tunnel showed some strange dark colors.

This scene stopped for a long time.

“Master, did this scene not move? Should we go elsewhere to take a look?” Monkey was clearly very puzzled as it asked Ye Chen.

“Don’t be anxious. Let’s continue watching.” Ye Chen was also puzzled but he was slightly more patient than Monkey.

However, not long after he finished speaking, this scene ended and switched to a surging golden-red color. This was also most of the scenes in Zhurong’s memories. The 200 years of memories of its Spiritual Energy being deliberately used to block its vision after it was sealed in the wall were also the most useless parts. Almost all of them were thrown into a pile by Zhurong. This was just a fish that slipped through the net in the corner.

The memory of that strange still scene ended.

Ye Chen was dumbfounded.

“It’s been lying there for that long without anyone caring?” He was puzzled. “Where’s the person who built the array?”

In the memory of the still scene, it was obvious that the vision of the fragment of the Spirit Pool was not blocked by the array of the secret chamber. There was only a vast gray space outside.

The person who used this fragment of the Spirit Pool to set up the array center didn’t complete the array as quickly as Ye Chen thought. Instead, he left it here for a while before completing the array.

‘Why would he do that?’

At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly remembered something that he had overlooked. He reread the memory image and stopped his gaze on the tunnel in the mental world.

It looked dark red because of its dark color. There was a cross-section of the tunnel that was close to a square. It was wider than what Ye Chen had seen with his own eyes, but it was not far from the tunnel that he had cut.

“The secret treasure that was used as a balance point in the passageway at that time hadn’t been installed yet, so the array wasn’t built?” Ye Chen guessed.

The red gel was brought to the mental world and then became the cover of the array center at the corresponding location. After resonating with the cover of the array in reality, the secret chambers in the mental world also appeared in the real world. Later on, the balance of the mental world was taken away and the mental world collapsed, overlapping with the array in reality. This was Ye Chen’s previous guess.

From the looks of it, there was at least one mistake here.

The appearance of the secret chamber in the array in reality was not only caused by the flow of Spiritual Energy between the red gels. It was definitely related to the balance point in the tunnel.

At this moment, two memories suddenly flew up and were thrown into the distance.

“This! Monkey, catch up!” Ye Chen was anxious.

He saw clearly that these two memories had been thrown to the same place. There was a pile of memories like a golden-red mountain.

“The two memories are clearly from different periods. Even the perspective is different! How does Zhurong organize its memories? Just by looking at the color?” He started to complain.

From the looks of it, letting Monkey spy on Zhurong’s mind was the right choice. According to Zhurong’s strange memory sorting method, effective information would be thrown into the trash!

Monkey was very obedient. It quickly followed Ye Chen’s instructions and ran to the middle of the pile of memories.

Ye Chen’s heart ached so much that he wanted to cover his face.

Zhurong clearly used the color of the filter in its memory to distinguish the memories.

In the past 200 years, it had been pressed behind the wall and its Spiritual Energy had been extracted. The red gel that was wrapped around it was used to prepare for the trap. There was often a golden red color in front of it and it did not obtain any effective information.

All the effective information from the past 200 years had basically only appeared during the sacrifice. At this time, what it heard and saw would be surprisingly clear, so the image would not be affected by the golden red Spiritual Energy flow. Therefore, it simply laze around and threw all the memories that showed similar colors into the trash heap in its memory.

However, after the two fragments of the Spirit Pool entered the Spirit Pool of the Ice Fire Beetle Race, they had a short period of important memories. Their vision was covered in red gel and the color was similar to golden red.

Hence, it threw all these important fragments here.

Ye Chen looked at the pile of golden-red memories in front of him and was speechless for a while. In the end, he sighed heavily.

“Monkey, let’s start from the bottom and look for the red memories to observe. Do you understand?” He asked Monkey and received a series of reluctant responses and a few complaints.

“The color here is so bright. I often can’t see it clearly!” Monkey said. “Besides, Master only cares about his own analysis and doesn’t tell us anything!”

Ye Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He had yet to figure out the situation completely, so he couldn’t explain it to them now. However, excluding the mutated beasts completely seemed to make them complain.

He could only comfort Monkey. After looking at the remaining images, he opened his eyes and analyzed them.

There was very little information about what he had just seen.

He saw how the array in the secret chamber appeared in reality, but it appeared extremely suddenly. It was as if there was a flash in front of his eyes, followed by a short period of darkness, then the array in the secret chamber descended, and then golden-red Spiritual Energy surged out, completely covering his vision.

The situation in the mental world was clearly more complicated.

He witnessed some of the controlled mutated beasts. They looked like Ice Fire Beetles as they sent something that was also wrapped in dark gel into the secret tunnel. Then, gray mud surged out of their bodies and sealed the thing in the tunnel, forcing its entrance into a small long strip.

The Ice Fire Beetle that accidentally came into contact with the object quickly disappeared.

While the thing was installed, the human who had finished setting up the fragment of the Spirit Pool walked into the tunnel.

Immediately, the gray array of the secret chamber appeared and completely locked Zhurong’s fragment of the Spirit Pool in the secret chamber. Illusionary mist began to spread out and the secret chamber in the mental world that he had seen before was formed.
