My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 376 Confusion
In the vast wilderness, the four people continued to move forward.

Walking through the desolate land and passing through the lonely area, occasionally a few small monsters would come and they would be killed simply and easily.

When he has nothing to do, Jiang Chen will also try to use space distortion - provided that he stays away from Anna.

Space distortion is a very interesting ability. When it is activated, the surrounding space will be distorted and countless turbulent ripples will be generated. As the initiator, Jiang Chen can choose any turbulent path to move forward - you can understand it this way, that is, multiple special pipe-like portals will appear around you. Choose one at random and you can go somewhere else.

This also means that space distortion is not actually transmitted in a fixed direction. You cannot go wherever you want. Instead, it is extremely random. However, it is also possible to go to where you want to go, provided that you can find the correct channel.

Because every time space is distorted, there is a correct channel accompanied by a large number of chaotic channels.

The transmission distance is therefore different, but it does not affect the cost.

In other words, whether you choose a channel leading to ten meters away or a channel leading to one hundred thousand kilometers away, the consumption is the same.

Of course, most of the time it wouldn't be that far, usually just a few hundred meters or so. For this reason, Jiang Chen would appear in various directions of everyone from time to time, having a lot of fun.

Once I got really lucky and ended up several kilometers away. It took me a while to find my team again.

He was like a child, and was severely scolded by Otto.

In general, this ability is suitable for escaping, but not for traveling - the only way to solve this problem is to upgrade the level and reduce the number of chaotic channels.

In addition, although space distortion is a characteristic of the main element, Jiang Chen feels that it has little to do with the element, but is related to the root.

It’s just that the source determines that it belongs to the element, so it is the element!

In Chaos World, everything is customizable.

Jiang Chen found that he seemed to have inherited the problems of the people from the Chaos Realm. The only thing he couldn’t understand was the phrase “this is the Chaos Realm”.

At this moment they were standing in a stone forest, with rugged rocks everywhere.

Not far away there is a large circular stone slab, engraved with mysterious runes.

The young great sage Alexia pointed at the stone tablet and said, "That is a teleportation tablet, a product of the ancient arcane era, and it is now completely abandoned."

"Where does it teleport to?" Jiang Chen came to the stone slab and squatted, looking carefully at the runes on the stone slab.

It is somewhat similar to the roots, but also different.

Jiang Chen also mastered an arcane skill, the levitation skill, which allowed him to fly. Combined with wind control, he could fly very fast, but he couldn't use it most of the time - Otto couldn't fly.

This extremely awesome commander-level guy couldn't fly, so they had to walk.

Jiang Chen felt as helpless as the Monkey King who could travel a great distance with one somersault but could only follow Tang Monk slowly.

Why can't you just fly with it?

Forget it, I can’t carry this stubborn big guy!

The boy replied, "It leads to other slabs."

"It's a bit like Dark." Jiang Chen muttered.

"What?" the boy was surprised.

"A game from Blue Star. I mean, was it abandoned because it was broken, or because the rules changed?"

"The laws have changed." The boy replied: "The old rules have changed, and most of them can no longer be used."

"This is very interesting, because at least part of it is still preserved." Jiang Chen said.

"That's true. This shows that there is still something in common between them," the boy replied.

“It’s like a wrong history. Although it’s messy, it also has something in common.”

The young man replied seriously: "That's right!"

Neither of them spoke again.

Jiang Chen carefully looked at the runes on the stone slab, and the system Gaia in his mind automatically recorded all the patterns.

Maybe it's useful, maybe it's not, Jiang Chen doesn't know, it's just a habit.

But at this moment, Gaia's reminder sounded again.

"System Task: Collect ancient arcane runes."

"Mission reward: Undetermined." Huh?
This was the first time Jiang Chen received a mission with an uncertain reward.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a slight smile forming on his lips.

"Haven't you finished reading it yet?" the boy asked.

Jiang Chen stared at the stone slab intently and said, "Memory is a good thing, but sometimes it can deceive you."

The boy's heart trembled.

Jiang Chen murmured, "I don't believe that there can be two different histories in one world at the same time. There is only one truth. Perhaps only memory can perfectly respond to all this!"

The boy looked at him in confusion: "Why do you suddenly bring this up?"

Jiang Chen's tone became deeper and deeper: "The roots cannot be remembered, history is upside down and disordered...even the roots themselves are disordered. There is a huge commonality between the ancient runes and the current roots. Ha, this is very interesting."

He suddenly turned to look at the boy: "Why can't I say it, but can only understand it myself? Because if I say it, I will forget it? Or is it confusion?"

The boy smiled.

He looked at Jiang Chen without saying a word.

But Jiang Chen already knew the answer.

Yes, my judgment was correct.

All the great secrets of this world, once told, are either forgotten or confused.

It was as if there was some kind of horrible forbidden spell preventing the truth from spreading.

But that doesn’t stop you from exploring!

Then Jiang Chen looked at Anna.

The girl still stood there quietly, with a bright face and mottled cracks, carrying a strange, incomplete, yet breathtaking beauty.

He said, "What is the Twisted Shadow? Among the Chaos creatures I know of, there is no such monster."

The boy replied: "That also requires you to discover it yourself."

Jiang Chen smiled: "I like this answer."

He walked towards Anna and suddenly reached out to stroke her calm little face.

This action almost made Otto go crazy, but the boy waved his hand and Otto held himself back.

Jiang Chen stroked her face gently and said, "I'm beginning to understand your pain. The kind of suffering that cannot be expressed in words and can only be suffered alone. The kind of suffering where everything is no longer real and changes between reality and illusion... Schrödinger's cat, but not just one, but a group! Even the whole world!"

boom!
The girl's brow cracked again.

The distorted light and shadows exude an indescribable horror, with a feeling of tearing everything apart.

At that moment, Jiang Chen felt that he was falling into endless darkness, as if he was falling endlessly in a bottomless abyss.

He just remained silent and looked at Anna.

Then he held out his arms.

Anna then walked forward gently and hugged Jiang Chen.

The two of them snuggled together like this, and at that moment the sky was spinning, the world was turning upside down, shattered, and torn into countless pieces of dust.

The darkness and the ashes of destruction linger in a vastness that blocks out the sky. You can't tell where the sky is and where the ground is. Occasionally, you can see countless bright and dark streams of light interweaving, accompanied by a large number of mysterious runes, converging into a misty and vast world.

Then came the ring-like golden sun in the sky and the playful and eerie moonlight, which alternated with each other and made shrill cry.

Then, endless flames engulfed Jiang Chen, melting him into ashes.

Open your eyes!

Jiang Chen saw that he was still standing there, and Anna was also standing in front of him, but on the girl's face, a strange circular shape had appeared, like a mole between the eyebrows, printed on the center of her eyebrows.

After opening the system, Jiang Chen saw:
"Life: 3."
