"I an, if even just one or two among them were to awaken and harbor hostility towards humanity, wouldn’t that an a global catastrophe?"
Tian Bufan sighed and affird, "Yes..."
"So the principal went out to sea to visit this legendary ’Returning Ruins’—to see if these so-called saviors and true guardians of the human world, whom he has always firmly believed in since he established his cognition, have indeed fallen."
Seeing Tian Bufan sigh, Lin Yi felt a slight sense of unease in his heart, "Young Master Tian, have you already seen the answer?"
"This question is essentially ’open-book’ for us, and all we need is just a process of verification."
Lin Yi’s face turned sowhat grim. He knew that when Tian Bufan said this, it ant that Tian Bufan had already completed this ’verification process.’
Tian Bufan sighed quietly, "Look..."
"In this ’Returning Ruins,’ perhaps buried in the depths of every black mountain is an ’Original Apostle.’ As for whether the buried ones bear an honorary title or not, I can’t easily determine..."
"During the early construction period of the Black Moon Outpost, in the Black Mist Era, the ’Original Apostles’ organized nurous grand voyages, and each ti an ’Original’ got lost deep in the Gray Mist Sea, unable to return to the Black Moon Outpost, they could only drift endlessly in the Gray Mist Sea."
"Can all the lost ’Original Apostles’ gather together?" Looking at the seemingly endless black mountains in the ’Returning Ruins,’ Lin Yi asked in surprise, "Could it be that because this is the ’Returning Ruins,’ all the tides of the Gray Mist Sea converge here?"
In mythology, the Returning Ruins is the place of endings, the final point of oceanic flow, an ever-unfillable sea eye.
"Indeed, it can be roughly understood this way, but the ’Returning Ruins’ is not naturally existing; it was created later."
"Was there a powerful existence that created the ’Returning Ruins’ to bury the ’Original Apostles’?!" Lin Yi’s eyes widened, "Could it be the ’Angel’?"
"No." Tian Bufan shook his head, "... it was the ’Original Apostles’ themselves."
"Huh?" Lin Yi looked confused.
Tian Bufan observed the ’Returning Ruins’ before him and slowly said, "Its ’birth’ traces back to the early days of the grand voyages in the Black Mist Era."
"At the beginning of the voyages in the Black Mist Era, ’Astrologers’ established the guiding function of the Big Dipper on spatial positions through star maps and anchored these as the coordinates of the initial route."
"But as the grand voyages progressed, the ’Original Apostles’ delved deeper into the Gray Mist Sea, and the star maps in a physical sense gradually lost their effectiveness, so the ’Astrologer,’ along with the Law, ’Ti Master,’ and ’Oracle,’ among the ’Originals,’ defined a kind of ’Supernatural Power’ already existing between the layers to maintain each other, calling it ’Super Boundary Gravity.’
"The stronger the existence, the more likely they are to sensibly perceive other similar ’people’ or ’things,’ and this effect is called the ’Super Boundary Gravity Effect.’
"Simply put, as you continually ’adapt’ to recover your forr powers, your perception range is also gradually restored to its peak. During that process, you occasionally unconsciously trigger ’Super Boundary Gravity,’ allowing you to observe the Night Watchn or broken sculptures in advance with your Phantom Vision."
"Once you unleash the full force of ’Super Boundary Gravity’ at an inappropriate ti, this ’Returning Ruins’ in the depths of the Gray Mist Sea, along with the ’Angel’ continuously releasing its domain indiscriminately, might capture it and determine the coordinates here."
"That’s why you must have amnesia."
"In the Black Mist Era, when the ’Original Apostles’ embarked on grand voyages, so ’Originals’ remained at the Black Moon Outpost to provide induction sources for the ’Super Boundary Gravity Effect,’ while others continued to delve deeper into the Gray Mist Sea."
"As they delved deeper, the ’Ti Master’ would simultaneously inscribe the coordinates into the dinsions of ti and space, just like climbers laying pitons along the mountain range."
"But later, the ’Ti Master’ discovered that no matter how the coordinates were set, there was a collapsing gravity between the layers that attracted those coordinate points like a black hole, drawing them into this place."
"Hence, the ’Ti Master’ and ’Astrologer’ deduced that this place was likely the center of the Gray Mist Sea, naming it ’Returning Ruins,’ which is how the records of ’Returning Ruins’ in later mythology ca about."
"Therefore, there is no need for deliberate creation or for doing anything else; after the ’Original Apostles’ got lost in the Gray Mist Sea, they would unconsciously gravitate towards this place, forming this ’Returning Ruins’ over a long period."
"This is the origin of the ’Returning Ruins.’"
Tian Bufan paused, "In other words, as your ’Super Boundary Gravity’ continually awakens alongside your adaptation, it also turns you into a certain coordinate."
"When you beco formidable enough, you will sense the existence of the ’Original Apostles,’ and likewise, the ’Original Apostles’ will sense your existence. Through your existence, they might attempt to anchor the reality layers."
"According to this theory, the ’Void Target Search’ chanism of those Pseudo-Human sculptures might just be a weakened, emasculated version of this chanism..." Lin Yi pondered and gradually understood, "So, the reason the ’Original Apostles’ in the ’Returning Ruins’ couldn’t perceive reality was firstly because of the ’Star Prison,’ and secondly because the entire layer of the Black Moon Outpost was sunk by the last remaining ’Original Apostle’?"
