Chapter 863 - 863 862 Geocentric Theory and Heliocentric

Chapter 863: Chapter 862: Geocentric Theory and Heliocentric Theory Chapter 863: Chapter 862: Geocentric Theory and Heliocentric Theory It was the moment he fell into the square.

An irresistible “Power of Blockade” immediately acted upon Han Dong’s brain.

It locked down all spatial abilities including the prison and laboratory, forbidding the fate creatures in prison from peering at the “Black Tower”.

This was the first time Han Dong felt his brain enveloped by a higher force, all related abilities were stripped away.

Since the abilities of his entire head were locked,

“Disguise” ceased to exist as well.

Half-seated in the middle of the square, Han Dong revealed his long-absent ‘True State’.

His right arm grew to twice its normal size, a Biochemical Giant Eye was embedded in his shoulder, its surface rough with blood vessels and lumps, and his palm’s sharp claws could easily cut through metal.

His left arm, akin to that of a mummified corpse, was interlaced with bandages, with black gravel flowing between the semi-transparent veins, wrapped by the Force of Death.

His facial features vanished, his head morphed into an oval.

However, four tentacles floated behind his head, each performing the functions of eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

This wasn’t the Holy City, so exposing his true state was inconsequential. Han Dong quickly accepted this setup.

He immediately checked himself and discovered that the powers from “Fate” were not restricted.

He also unexpectedly found that Count’s consciousness was not limited.

Perhaps it was because the Count’s flesh and soul had completely perished, not classified as an “individual” by the Black Tower… Logically, consciousness should not survive without a ‘vessel’.

It was only because Han Dong had just undergone Breaking the Breed, purposefully mingling the Count’s consciousness into the Talent Tree.

Letting the Talent Tree act as a ‘vessel,’ it preserved the Count’s complete consciousness in such a way.

Fearing discovery by the Toad Ancestor, the Count had hidden inside the Talent Tree the entire time, not daring to utter a word.

The Count, who had held back a belly full of words, could no longer restrain himself,

“Nicholas, you rascal, you truly possess the style of the Count in his prime… Once, to break free from the control of the Blood God, I too risked my life trying to contact various high beings privately.

The Toad Ancestor is quite…”

Hush…

Han Dong placed his index finger in the middle of his lips.

“Count, be silent, now is not the time to discuss demons or the Old King… Take a good look around, we seem to have arrived at a formidable place.”

“Isn’t this just the Fate Space of you humans? What’s so…”

The Count’s words halted mid-sentence.

Only because Han Dong actively connected the Count to a view of the outside.

Staring at the “Black Square” before him, the words that had reached the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down; even the well-informed Count was in a state of absolute shock at this moment… A new worldview was gradually unfolding.

The “Black Square” might be a particular level within the Black Tower, or rather, a public area.

Within this vast and nearly boundaryless black square, a myriad of diverse life forms were packed together.

They were not wearing Swirl Masks and were not employees of the “Black Tower”.

Rather, they were “participants” with the same status as Han Dong, granted authority to the Black Tower… More importantly, the vast majority of them could not be categorized as ‘humans’.

For example, the member of the Starlight Race nearest to Han Dong, with blue iridescent skin, the interior of his humanoid form used starlight nodes as ‘organs,’ connected by a kind of energy line.

Feeling Han Dong’s gaze.

A few specks of starlight floated up, forming a smiley face sign in the air, conveying goodwill toward Han Dong.

Han Dong also immediately gestured ‘a smile of goodwill’ through the speckled tentacles behind his ‘salted egg’ head… After all, the aura emanating from this member of the Starlight Race was almost at the Soldier Level, quite terrifying.

At the same time, an argument was coming from not far away.

Han Dong immediately turned his head to look, and the first thing that caught his eye was a one-eyed giant approximately three times the height of an average person.

The one-eyed giant was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with equipment and items obtained from the Fate Space laid out in front of him, loudly discussing the price of goods with an individual whose head was covered in spiky structures and whose body was similar to that of a shelled insect.

Looking around, Han Dong did not see any human beings in the Black Square.

Most of those here were “participants” from other worlds, using the Black Tower Authority to come to the square area early to sell the Fate Treasures they couldn’t use or to buy some essential Fate items.

Awe.

One of the tentacles at the back of Han Dong’s head, acting as a mouth, even opened wide in astonishment at this moment.

“All of these are Fate participants?

Could it be… that the initial ‘cognition’ was wrong?

The ‘Door of Fate’ does not just allow ‘humans’ to enter,

but simply prohibits ‘Demons’ from entering.

Since the World of Fate is diverse, the outer worlds are equally diverse!

The participants who go to the Fate Space are not just us, but also those from other external worlds… any life that meets a certain ‘Fate standard’ can come here to adventure, acquire Power, Treasures, and knowledge.”

At the sight of this scene.

Han Dong seemed to have pushed open a hidden door, and an unimaginably new world unfolded before his eyes, his worldview expanding exponentially at lightning speed.

It also made Han Dong fall into contemplation, the collision of the new worldview and brain thinking led to a rather exaggerated idea:

“If that’s the case, then is there this possibility?

It was not because the ‘First World War’ awakened the slumbering ‘Old King,’ who, foreseeing the potential disappearance of human civilization, caused the ‘Door of Fate’ to appear in major cities to help humans against Demons.”

But because the opening of the ‘Door of Fate’ disturbed and awakened the ‘Old King’?

All along, the essence of the world’s sudden changes was not ‘humanity’… but the core gear of the ‘Black Tower World’!

It’s like the historical shift from the Geocentric to the Heliocentric model.

From the beginning, everything that evolved had nothing to do with humanity.

The scale of the First World War was not grand at all, and it didn’t even involve nuclear weapons, just an ordinary war with swords, guns, and artillery. How could it have awakened an ancient existence capable of destroying the world?

It could very well be just a coincidence in time.

Just at the time of ‘World War I,’ the [Black Tower] perfected the Fate System, and opened portals to the ‘Fate Space’ for the ‘outer’ Parallel Worlds.

Our human world is just one of these portal nodes.

The turning of the Black Tower’s gears and the opening of the Door of Fate made the Old Kings in our world feel threatened and forcibly awaken from their eternal slumber.

Demons descended, immediately leading humanity to launch a massive extermination, and the number of humans sharply decreased in a short period.

In truth, it was just the Old Kings wanting to quickly occupy the ‘Door of Fate’ to ascertain the source of the ‘threat.'”

Han Dong took a deep breath and affirmed his own theory.

“Such an explanation is definitely more convincing than ‘war disturbing the Elders’… Surely, Mr. Black White, Clockmaker, Captain Hugo, Newton, and the high-ranking officials of the Holy City are all aware of this.

Is this the [true world]?”
