Chapter 140: The Key to the Void and the Main World!
After the Dread Lord finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of Null and the Wither King beside him were both indescribable.
To sum it up, both of them felt that the Dread Lord was utterly shameless.
What "the only and final master." As if the matters of the Void had never existed.
However, at this moment, the expression on Null's face was even more complicated than that of the Wither King.
He could see through people's hearts. He could feel that at this moment, every word spoken by the Dread Lord came from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, he was genuinely submitting to HIM.
Null originally wanted to make a sarcastic remark but held back and did not speak.
Even though he did not like the Dread Lord, Null could sense that HIM wanted to obtain information about the Void from the Dread Lord.
Null was, of course, loyal to HIM. No matter how much he disliked the Dread Lord, he did not dare to go against HIM.
After hearing the Dread Lord's words, Xu Yuan finally revealed a satisfied smile on his face.
He looked at the Dread Lord and lifted his chin slightly.
The Dread Lord immediately understood Xu Yuan's meaning, then scratched the back of his head and said somewhat hesitantly:
"This… I don't even know where to start for the time being…"
"How about… you ask me instead?"
To tell this story, he would have to start from when he first stepped into the Void.
That was a very long story, and the Dread Lord was afraid that HIM would not have the patience to listen.
Xu Yuan pondered for a moment after hearing this, then asked:
"What do red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple represent in the Void?"
Xu Yuan had seen these color blocks in the images of fear from the Ender Dragon and the Dread Lord's hearts.
Naturally, he was curious about what these color blocks actually represented.
Upon hearing Xu Yuan's words, the Dread Lord was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected Xu Yuan to know so much. Thinking of this, the Dread Lord tugged at his purple robe and said, "Look at this."
Xu Yuan glanced at it, just about to speak, when Null beside him couldn't help but snark, "A piece of rotten purple seaweed."
"Pfft…"
As soon as Null finished speaking, the Wither King beside him couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan glanced at Null. Null immediately panicked and knelt down in terror.
"My king… please forgive me…"
Xu Yuan did not blame Null but instead signaled for the Dread Lord to continue speaking.
Seeing this, the Dread Lord nodded and continued, "This purple robe is a symbol of power. But it is merely the weakest power in the Void…"
"These color blocks represent the hierarchy and power classification within the Void."
"Red is the strongest, orange follows, and so on, with purple being the weakest…"
Xu Yuan was somewhat surprised upon hearing the Dread Lord's words. The Void actually had so many hierarchical levels? And even an existence like the Dread Lord was only at the lowest tier of Void power?!
'Then what kind of existence did the red represent?'
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan asked the Dread Lord, "Who are the ones representing red? What are their abilities?"
Upon hearing Xu Yuan's question, the Dread Lord could only shake his head with a bitter smile.
"I don't know. Someone at my level can only come into contact with those at the blue level…"
"As for those above, I have never seen them…"
The Dread Lord spoke truthfully.
Having been trapped in the Void for so long, he had only managed to figure out the hierarchy within the Void.
The Void had a strict ranking system.
Basically, those who lived in the Void could only interact with the level immediately above or below them.
There was no such thing as cross-level contact. This made those higher existences extraordinarily mysterious.
The Dread Lord also had no idea who they were or how many of them there were.
He only knew that this mission was given to him by someone at the blue level.
Upon hearing the Dread Lord's words, Xu Yuan furrowed his brows.
He was certain that the Dread Lord was not lying.
After all, Null had previously said that in the Dread Lord's inner world, there were only color blocks without any specific shapes.
This proved that the Dread Lord had indeed never seen those people.
The blue cloak that appeared in his inner world was probably the so-called blue-level existence.
However, even the ones he had encountered had only appeared in the form of a cloak.
This was what confused Xu Yuan.
What form did those beings in the Void take? What exactly was the Void? Was it a place like the End City, built from tangible blocks, or was it merely a conceptual space?
The Dread Lord became nervous when he saw Xu Yuan remain silent for a long time.
"M-My king…"
"Every word I just said is true! I really have never seen the ones above!" The Dread Lord thought that Xu Yuan was doubting the truthfulness of his words.
Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then asked the Dread Lord, "Then tell me, what kind of people are those at the blue level that you can come into contact with? How strong are they?"
Since the Dread Lord truly did not know the strength of those above, Xu Yuan could only start with the people he could interact with.
Upon hearing Xu Yuan's question, the Dread Lord looked troubled and said, "This… I don't know either…"
Xu Yuan frowned at this response, just about to say something when the Dread Lord hurriedly explained in a panic.
"You may not fully understand the Void. The Void is not like the Main World, with a solid foundation, buildings, flowers, trees, and grass. It is just as its name suggests—a void space…"
"And the beings inside it exist as consciousness."
After hearing the Dread Lord's explanation, Xu Yuan finally understood.
That made sense.
If those beings were purely consciousness, then the Dread Lord indeed wouldn't know their appearance or abilities.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan looked at the Dread Lord and asked, "Then how did you take on a physical form?"
If the Void was composed of consciousness, then the Dread Lord must have initially existed as consciousness in the Void.
Yet now, he had a physical body, which meant that there was a way to materialize consciousness.
Just like Null before. Null had also initially existed in consciousness form.
The Dread Lord must have used some medium to become physical.
If the Void had a method to materialize the Dread Lord, then the other beings in the Void should also be capable of materializing themselves.
The reason they had not appeared yet might be due to some restrictions.
If he could figure out what those restrictions were, Xu Yuan would have some leverage against the Void.
Upon hearing Xu Yuan's question, the Dread Lord answered truthfully. "I am not materialized; I am parasitic."
As he said this, the Dread Lord touched the white bones on his face and said, "This is not my original form. We can parasitize living organisms."
Xu Yuan glanced at the Dread Lord's seaweed-like skeletal form with some confusion.
If they could materialize by parasitizing, they could have just possessed Endermen.
Endermen were way cooler than skeletons.
Why had the Dread Lord chosen to possess a skeleton? Did he have a special fondness for them?
Seeing Xu Yuan's expression, the Dread Lord seemed to understand his thoughts.
He then explained, "Parasitizing has conditions. In the Void, the only place with living creatures is the End Island."
"We cannot parasitize Endermen."
"As for the Ender Dragon…"
The Dread Lord paused slightly before continuing.
"They are born with the ability to open passages between the End and the Main World."
"The reason I was able to leave the End was because you previously went there with the Ender Dragon."
"When the Ender Dragon opened a spatial passage, I was able to use that passage to enter the Main World and find a host."
After hearing the Dread Lord's words, Xu Yuan finally understood.
No wonder when he and Null went to the location where the Ender Dragon broke through the space to reach the End, Null had sensed the Dread Lord's presence.
'No wonder the Ender Dragon was so afraid of those Void beings. So, the Ender Dragon was essentially a key connecting the Void and the Main World.'
