Return to the Real World
At that moment, the heavens and earth paled in comparison.
Unspeakable, overwhelming power has warped this world.
The Laughing Moon's reflection on the sea surface has turned into a black, rotting moon, with countless tentacles Gnaw at its reflection.
Strange, low murmurs began to echo, incomprehensible to anyone, yet everyone knew they were ancient whispers praising the great sleeping Lord.
Fear and anxiety, death and destruction have become the dominant themes of this world.
The SAN value skyrocketed, and no one could lock it down; even Shen Hui was slightly affected at this moment.
However, the impact is all within a reasonable and rational range.
Cthulhu awoke, though only a small part of his consciousness.
But it did indeed awaken, within the Deep Consciousness World created by Laughing Moon.
Boom boom boom boom~
The seawater was pushed aside, and a creature as large as a mountain, with an octopus head, bat wings, and countless Tentacles on its back, emerged from the seabed.
After appearing, He looked at Shen Hui floating on the sea, His scarlet eyes filled with evil and madness.
Shen Hui suddenly felt a kind of telepathic connection with Him... It was very strange, seemingly related to His own Creator Form, or His own creator identity.
Then black ash began to fall from the sky, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Cthulhu turned his head and fixed his gaze on Laughing Moon.
The Laughing Moon can no longer be called the Laughing Moon.
The smiles above had become distorted beyond description, and the cold, radiant glow they once emanated had dimmed completely.
Trembling, Laughing Moon began to tremble in this Deep Consciousness World He created.
This world has been corrupted, becoming a forbidden place to be avoided.
Cthulhu stretched out his thick arm toward the sky, Laughing Moon looked like a light bulb hanging in the sky.
It was directly grasped by Cthulhu.
Unspeakable blackness began to erode Laughing Moon's body. Without any resistance, it was an absolute and utter crushing defeat in the face of Cthulhu.
The Laughing Moon transformed into a black sphere, blending into the background and the colors of the world.
With a gentle pinch from Cthulhu, Laughing Moon turned into powder and vanished completely.
A wisp of Divine Power appeared completely in Cthulhu's palm.
This is the divine essence summoned after the Laughing Moon Cult's ritual was initiated. Now, without Laughing Moon's support, it has become pure divinity.
Cthulhu squeezed his hand, and the divine essence entered his body and was absorbed into him.
However, He did not absorb it completely; a portion remained, and He looked at Shen Hui again, throwing it towards Shen Hui.
The divine aura floated in front of Shen Hui, Raven emerged from Shen Hui's body and flew past.
It began pecking at the food frantically, and this time Shen Hui did not stop it.
After the Raven had eaten nearly half of it, the remaining divinity drifted into Shen Hui's body and was absorbed.
The manifested Laughing Moon here is dead, the deep consciousness space is full of cracks, and the space in the distance has begun to collapse.
Without support, this world is heading towards destruction.
Cthulhu sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared at this time, and the black seawater began to pour into the broken space on the ground.
Until it vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed at all.
Just as Shen Hui was about to leave, three orbs of light suddenly floated out from a spot on the still-standing ground in the dark sky.
Shen Hui recognized them; they were the consciousnesses of Ye Long, Zhiyue, and Zhuge Hongjing.
They entered the Deep Consciousness World before Shen Hui, so they underwent the coming-of-age ceremony here ahead of time.
The coming-of-age ceremony represents the fragmentation of the consciousness that has fallen in, making it incomplete and unable to awaken again.
Just like the choice Shen Hui Shen Hui faced, if he chose the Deep Consciousness World, he would be lost here forever.
However, this Deep Consciousness World has now been destroyed, so their consciousnesses have reunited.
However, without guidance, it will perish along with this world and return to nothingness.
Shen Hui up, intercepted the three orbs of light, and began to guide them to follow him.
Arriving at the open door, Shen Hui stepped inside, accompanied by three orbs of light.
From darkness to light once more, Shen Hui returned to the tunnel beneath the Land of Ruins.
They remained in the same position as after they got lost; the place was eerily quiet, and the burning embers on the walls were still ablaze.
It looked as if nothing had happened.
"I wonder what's going on outside."
Shen Hui deactivated his Creator Mode, and now his head was incredibly foggy.
Summoning Cthulhu consumed far too much of my mental energy, far exceeding what my current Creation World could summon.
Moreover, there are many things Shen Hui still needs to understand about this matter.
For example, regarding Raven, Shen Hui didn't have any expectations for this unexpectedly born life.
But I never expected it would be of such great help to me this time.
Moreover, given what happened here, unless they've had the worst luck imaginable, the other Laughing Moon Cult strongholds are probably in no better shape.
But there are tall guys outside holding things up, so it shouldn't be too serious.
Otherwise, if the Laughing Moon starts to spread outside, Shen Hui won't be able to do anything about it. In that case, the world will be destroyed, it doesn't matter.
Shen Hui plopped down on the ground, not minding the dampness, and looked at Ye Long and the other two.
The three of them remained motionless, like stone statues, frozen in their final pose.
If Shen Hui hadn't guided their consciousness back, they probably would have remained in a vegetative state.
But their consciousness has returned; now they just need a little time to reconnect and restart.
Two minutes later, their dull eyes regained their sparkle.
He blinked and moved his fingers.
The three of them woke up at the same time, all looking bewildered and confused.
Their memories became chaotic, a mixture of Real World and Deep World experiences.
It will take a little more time to sort out the memories in my mind.
About five minutes later, Ye Long finally looked at Shen Hui, or rather, only then did he notice Shen Hui's presence.
He spoke with uncertainty:
"Brother Shen... is this... is this world an illusion?"
Are you real or fake?
Zhiyue and Zhuge Hongjing also cast similar glances their way.
Shen Hui had experienced what they felt, so he naturally knew their current state.
She retorted irritably, "If I'm lying and you're still asking me, then what I'm saying is also lying."
"Yeah..." Ye Long was even more confused.
However, Zhiyue had already realized that, as a member of the Tarot Club, she had long been exploring the illusion of the world.
"Stop thinking about it, who cares if it's true or false, let's live in the present."
