After turning into a rare female, she refused the bosses' exclusive favor

This underground maze has a total of nine floors, and the deepest part is deeper below the ninth floor, which is also the unknown area of ​​the entire maze.

"Doesn't that mean we are close to the magma zone?" Hikari questioned after listening to the story of the intelligent personality.

"Notice: After investigation, it was found that the bottom layer of the underground maze contains a huge amount of energy, and the positive and negative particles released by the energy constantly touch and annihilate each other. Therefore, the energy field in this area is extremely unstable and has been in a chaotic state for a long time. Its essence is similar to a mimic ocean constructed by positive and negative energy."

"Ocean... fetal sea..." Hikari unconsciously linked the two together.

The word "fetal sea" mentioned in the dream left Hikari puzzled, but after the wise personality explained it, the truth of some things seemed to become clear.

But for the specific situation, you still have to reach the destination first to know the answer.

When we arrived at the entrance of the ninth floor, unlike the previous areas, there was a bronze gate leading to the ninth floor.

After arriving at the destination, the Tyrannosaurus leaned over, crouched down, and rolled up Hikari with its tail, placing her on its back in front of the bronze gate.

It was the first time that Hikari had seen such a magnificent ancient bronze building. The patterns carved on the gate were lifelike, as if they were interpreting an unknown piece of history.

"Chi~" As soon as the little guy in his arms landed, he couldn't wait to fly towards the bronze gate, and finally landed on a bronze monument carved with many insect patterns.

When Hikari looked closely, she was surprised to find that the insects in the patterns were all winged, and as if they were performing some kind of ritual, each insect was worshiping something that looked like an egg.

"Is that... a cocoon?" Hikari looked down in the order of the patterns above. The "egg" eventually hatched into a butterfly, or to be more precise, a humanoid creature with butterfly wings.

Next, there was a spider web with various insects bound in it. A large spider was eating them or wrapping them up in spider silk. Under the spider web, there were dense piles of... human skeletons? !

Clearly, what they ate were bugs, but what they vomited out were human bones. This strange scene made Hikari shudder, and she felt that these murals were vaguely revealing some important message.

Because many of the murals on the bronze doors were damaged or disrupted, many stories could not be fully connected.

Hikari subconsciously placed her hand on the bronze door, only to see a ray of light rising from the bottom of the door. The entire bronze door became illusory, like a projection, and its original color faded, leaving only a green halo.

The Dilophosaurus gently nudged Hikari's back with its head, motioning her to go in.

Perhaps because she thought that the Dilophosaurus would not harm her, Hikari did not think too much about it. After calling back the little crystal moth, she walked towards the gate.

It was not until Hikari finally reached the ninth floor that she realized there was a whole other world going on here.

If the first eight levels are a wild purgatory where only the fittest survive, then the ninth level is undoubtedly a peaceful paradise.

Although they were underground, the night sky was as bright as the starry sky above them, and unknown white flowers were blooming on the ground. Each small white flower actually emitted a warm and soft fluorescence in the night. Standing among the flowers, Hikari felt as if she was standing on a pure white and clean ocean, which made her feel comfortable.

Smelling the refreshing floral scent in the air, Hikari felt the inner peace and tranquility that she had not felt for a long time.

"Isn't it beautiful here?" A gentle female voice interrupted the peaceful atmosphere.

Hikari turned around suddenly and saw a stunningly beautiful woman standing next to the dragon, one hand gently stroking the body of the Megalodon.

The woman had a slender figure, a pair of blue-gold eyes that were clear yet deep, and long silver-blue hair that fell vertically like a waterfall, with all three thousand strands of hair falling to the ground. The woman was wearing a white dress in the ancient Greek style. The simple dress outlined her graceful figure, making her as beautiful and elegant as a goddess.

When did she appear? Why didn't I notice it at all? Even my intelligent personality didn't remind me that someone was approaching behind me. This woman must be extraordinary!

Hikari was surprised by the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her, especially her blue-gold eyes, which made Hikari feel extremely familiar.

"Sorry, I haven't had the chance to introduce myself. My name is 'Ma', and I asked this child to take you back." The woman named Ma explained, and she called the Earth Dragon "child", obviously she was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Pick me up?" Hikari was confused by the woman's words, as if she was going home.

"Yes, this is the place where you were originally born. Stranger, or... should I call you a 'traveler'?" Ma immediately revealed Hikari's true identity.

Hikari didn't expect that not only would her heart be seen through by the woman, but she also knew everything about her time travel.

Facing those blue-gold eyes, Hikari couldn't help but recall the dream she had before, "It was you?! That voice that appeared in my dream, could it be you?"

"Yes. Originally, I wanted to pull your spirit directly into this space, but was interrupted by an unexpected force." Ma took a step forward and came in front of Hikari with a breeze mixed with a faint fragrance.

Hikari met those eyes that shone with golden light like the ocean, and was unconsciously immersed in them. Ma stroked Hikari's cheek, "That power does not belong to 'Him', so I want to know if you are being targeted by another power."

"Another power?" Shikali didn't understand, but she saw the woman put her index finger on her forehead, and a golden light burst out from her fingertips. The golden light penetrated into Shikali's brain and went straight into her sea of ​​consciousness.

"Notice: Illegal intrusion detected, mental interference detected, suspected divinity detected..."

After entering this area, the intelligent personality seemed to be offline, but became active again under Ma's temptation.

"Hmm?" Ma's originally murderous look softened a little, replaced by confusion and surprise.

After a long time, Ma withdrew her hand. After she knew what was hidden in Hikari's spiritual plane, the woman finally felt relieved and even showed a hint of surprise and approval. "I thought you had a 'system' hidden in your body, so I cut off your connection with it. Now it seems that I thought too much. On the contrary, your spiritual power is so strong and pure that you actually created a 'manager' for yourself."

"System? Administrator?" Why did he keep saying words she didn't know.

"I think you are very familiar with the word 'system'. It is a kind of weird and supernatural imitation technology device that you time travelers often mention, commonly known as 'plug-in'." Ma began to explain, but her words were full of contempt for the "system".

"As for the 'Manager', it is a self-generated data management device similar to you. It is equivalent to carrying a super quantum computer with you. No, to be more precise, it should be a 'spirit computer'."

Ma's explanation left Hikari confused. However, Hikari was able to grasp the key point, which was that her "intelligent personality" was very strong and very powerful.

Before she knew it, Hikari started to swell up a little.

"By the way, what do you mean when you say this is where I was originally born?"

Hikari has not forgotten that the reason she was willing to come here with the dragon was to find a way to evolve herself.

Right now, this woman named Ma seems to know some important information.

"Five hundred thousand years ago, your soul traveled through time and space, landed here, and attached itself to this body. From then on, you came into being..." Ma recounted the story.

"Five hundred thousand years ago?!" Wouldn't that mean I've become a living fossil now?

Ma continued, "This body has no soul, and it will take an unknown amount of time for you to adapt to this body, so I placed you, who was still in a dormant state, in the 'cultivation room' on the ninth floor, which is now this space."

No wonder I feel a little attached to this place. It seems that I have been staying in such a fairyland for the past 500,000 miles.

"But not long ago, a group of invaders somehow managed to avoid layers of guards, broke into the 'breeding room' and took you away. After that, I sent the Dilophosaurus to hunt down the invaders and bring you back, but they actually abandoned you. Then you woke up during that time and fought back against the Dilophosaurus that came to pick you up without knowing it. You were almost killed by the out-of-control Dilophosaurus..." As for what happened next, there is no need for Ma to describe it in detail.

Hikari finally understood that all the troubles she had suffered before were caused by that group of "invaders".

OK, OK, that's how we play, right? When we get out, don't let yourself be caught. Otherwise, I'll kill you bastards!

Originally, Hikari had almost forgotten about this matter, thinking that since she had stolen their storage space and a large amount of supplies, it was a good deal. It seemed that she couldn't just let this account go. When she got out, she would definitely take revenge when she had the chance.

"But perhaps you don't know yet that you have been targeted by 'He'?" Ma made another confusing statement.

"Him? Who?"

“‘Him’ may be one or multiple. ‘Him’ is not a person, nor is it a specific thing. It is the representative of a certain force, the symbol of a certain consciousness. An existence that cannot be described, defined, or called by its real name. We usually call ‘Him’ or ‘Them’ the ‘Supreme Divinity.’” As Ma explained, her body trembled unconsciously, as if she had touched upon some forbidden secret.

"Supreme? Divinity? What the hell?" Hikari didn't care. She felt like she had traveled into some weird novel. Could there be a similar shelter here?

"Although I don't know which forces are targeting you, according to the information I have learned, a 'Supreme God' has already started to attack you. The reason why you were taken away by the invaders is definitely not accidental. I'm afraid it was Him who was behind the scenes." Ma seemed to know something about the 'Supreme God'. Hikari tried to let the wise personality tell her this information, but the answer she got was -

"Tell: It cannot be described, it cannot be defined, it cannot be called by its real name. God among gods, metaphysical God, super-conceptual God. It cannot be analyzed! It cannot be answered! It cannot be detected! "

As if the computer had crashed, the wise personality had been avoiding discussing topics related to the "Supreme Godhead" with himself.

Is the Supreme Godhead really that terrifying? Hikari couldn't help but ask, "What on earth is that 'Supreme Godhead' that wants to kill me?"

When she asked this question, Hikari wanted to slap herself in the face. Didn't she tell herself that the so-called "Supreme God" had a three-no principle, which meant that even Ma didn't know what kind of existence was chasing Hikari.

Seeing this, Ma gave an answer: "Although the 'Supreme Godhead' is indescribable, it occasionally appears in our dimension in the form of an incarnation. The one who has set his sights on you is called the 'Weaver of Fate'. All spider creatures in the universe are 'His' followers."

"Spider? Could it be that the Scarlet Queen from before was also..."

"That's right, the spider queen is the spy that 'Him' planted in this underground maze." Ma confirmed Hikari's guess, but at the same time comforted her.

"Don't worry! 'He' won't do it himself. The 'Supreme Gods' are also restraining and checking each other. The 'Weaver of Fate' can only let His followers deal with you. It's much easier to deal with this group of blind believers."

Obviously, although the Supreme Deity is powerful, he is in another dimension and cannot kill himself personally; and His followers, although in the same space as himself, can be killed by himself in the same dimension.

In summary, as long as you are strong enough, no one can bully you.

"I want to become stronger!" Hikari stated her purpose, and she could feel that the other party had the same plan.

"Yes, I can help you become stronger. But becoming stronger requires enduring pain and experience, so..." Ma stared at Hikari firmly, and the look in her blue-gold eyes turned from gentle to serious.

"Do you have that awareness?"

"It's definitely a lie to say it's 100%. After all, I'm still a little confused now. Right from the start, it's all about gods, ghosts, rebirth, time travel, etc., but..." Hikari changed the subject and gave the woman a determined look.

"Even if I only have one percent of awareness, I will try my best. If I have to wait until I have done enough mental preparation before completing everything, then opportunities will not wait for anyone!"

Ma was stunned for a moment, then she smiled with relief, "You are very honest. Facing your inner timidity is also a manifestation of courage and fearlessness. Perhaps you are more unique than I thought."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire space began to undergo drastic changes, as if the scenes above and below were turned upside down.

Hikari was actually standing on the starry sky that was originally above her head, while the sea of ​​flowers that was originally under her feet had reached the top.

"This is the real core area of ​​the underground maze, the deepest part."

It turns out that the so-called "deepest place" is not the deepest place in the earth, but the night sky that is like the vast universe. Although it is like walking on flat ground, the scenery under your feet is constantly changing, interpreting the chaos and disorder of the universe.

Hikari can feel the power contained below, and as the wise personality said before, the "deepest place" is an extremely unstable quantum mimicry ocean that is changing all the time, between matter and energy, from birth to annihilation, and then reborn from annihilation, this is the endless cycle of the "deepest place".

"Now, the trial of evolution begins!" Ma opened her hands, and the entire starry sky formed a vortex gate under her feet like the sea.

As expected, Hikari was drawn into the sea of ​​stars. The scene above, especially Ma's figure, was getting farther and farther away from her, and her consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred...

"Must survive!"

Ma clasped her hands together in front of her chest, silently praying that Hikari could perform a miracle.
