End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues - Chapter 270

Chapter 270: Entering the Mist of History
Jeremy had long since devised a plan for their upcoming actions.

Therefore, when Ritchie inquired about what they should do next, Jeremy immediately responded.

“What we need to do is continue forward! As soon as we traverse the Giant’s Graveyard, we will be able to reach the history that the Cyclops once experienced!”

Jeremy’s reply left Ritchie somewhat puzzled.

Ritchie did not quite understand the implications of Jeremy’s statement.

“Are you saying that after we pass through the Giant’s Graveyard, we will undergo some sort of time travel? Will we be transported back to the period when the Cyclops was still alive?”

In light of Ritchie’s question, Jeremy realized that he had not fully clarified the situation.

Thus, Jeremy began to patiently explain what kind of circumstances they would encounter thereafter.

“The area we are currently in is not the actual location of the Tower of Exile, to enter the Tower of Exile, we must first locate its true entrance.”

The area we currently occupy has been temporarily simulated by the High-Dimensional Data owned by the Tower of Exile. Thus, every region we traverse is exceedingly chaotic.

Each area corresponds to a specific temporal node where High-Dimensional Data is concentrated within the Tower of Exile.

The shadowy river we previously navigated corresponds to the time when the foundation of the Tower of Exile was being constructed.

Those Soulless Ones are presumably the very individuals who built the foundation of the Tower of Exile. After completing the foundation, their souls were completely stripped away by the Tower of Exile.

This is why they transformed into Soulless Ones, doomed to wander endlessly within their respective temporal nodes.

The Giant’s Graveyard corresponds to the historical period when the Cyclopes constructed the Tower of Exile.

Given the immense significance of that history, the Tower of Exile deliberately entombed the giants within the graveyard.

The Cyclops we just battled was, in fact, the very first to commence the construction of the Tower of Exile. It is precisely for this reason that the High-Dimensional Data possessed by the Tower of Exile has such profound control over him.

Upon hearing Jeremy’s explanation, Ritchie immediately remarked.

“So, after we pass through the Giant’s Graveyard, we will enter into another segment of history. That segment should correspond to the time after the completion of the Tower of Exile.”

“You are absolutely correct!”

Jeremy’s affirmation brought great joy to Ritchie.

However, Ritchie felt that recklessly entering into history was an exceedingly perilous endeavor.

“Although I do not possess the gift of The King of Time and Space, and my perception of temporal changes is not particularly acute, I cannot shake the feeling that stepping into history might expose us to even greater dangers.

Just as you mentioned, the High-Dimensional Data at significant temporal nodes must be more abundant. Doesn’t this suggest that the White Tower would be more likely to detect our presence?”

Ritchie’s hypothesis delighted Jeremy immensely.

“I never would have expected that you have become significantly more astute than before. What you have said is entirely accurate, as we progress, the probability that the White Tower will lock onto our location will indeed increase.

Yet, we must proceed in this manner, for it is only by reaching the present temporal node that we can truly enter the Tower of Exile.

Before we achieve that, the White Tower will undoubtedly exert every effort to impede us.

As we traverse one temporal point after another, we will certainly gather vital intelligence related to the Tower of Exile.

With a sufficient amount of information at our disposal, the High-Dimensional Data we can manipulate will also increase significantly.

In the final confrontation, the White Tower may not necessarily succeed in defeating us.”

As Jeremy spoke these words, he continuously searched the surrounding High-Dimensional Data.

Having defeated the Cyclops, Jeremy had acquired a portion of the High-Dimensional Data.

However, this High-Dimensional Data was insufficient to enable Jeremy to triumph over the White Tower in the ultimate confrontation.

Although Ritchie still did not fully comprehend the situation, he ultimately decided to cease overthinking it.

“Since you are confident enough, let us continue onward! After all, as long as I follow your decisions during each operation, we are bound to achieve success.”

Ritchie’s statement brought even greater joy to Jeremy.

“Very well, then! Let us press forward. However, as we traverse through various historical segments, you must ensure that you do not become lost in history.

If you were to lose yourself in the annals of time, I may very well be unable to rescue you. For we currently exist in this area as beings of consciousness.”

After Jeremy finished speaking, he gestured for Ritchie to use his shadow manipulation skill to control his own shadow.

Once Ritchie activated the shadow manipulation skill, he indeed discovered that both of them existed in the form of consciousness.

This indicated that their physical bodies were likely situated elsewhere.

“We must move quickly! I do not wish to exist in this state of consciousness for too long! If we remain outside our bodies for an extended period, there is a significant risk that our souls may dissipate.”

Upon realizing that he existed in the form of consciousness, Ritchie’s emotions became exceedingly agitated.

The shadow manipulation skill that Ritchie possessed could indeed influence beings of consciousness.

As a result, Ritchie had a certain degree of understanding regarding consciousness entities.

He was acutely aware that existing as a being of consciousness posed significant risks.

Given that Ritchie had expressed such concerns, Jeremy naturally would not waste any more time.

He walked directly towards the end of the Giant’s Cemetery.

At the end of the Giant’s Cemetery, the two of them beheld a narrow window.

Aside from this window, the end of the cemetery was merely a thick wall.

“Are we supposed to pass through this window? How can we be certain that there are no enemies lurking on the other side? Let us not forget that we encountered a monster as soon as we entered this area.”

Ritchie kindly reminded Jeremy.

However, Jeremy did not take this concern to heart.

In Jeremy’s view, Ritchie’s considerations were somewhat excessive.

“Thank you very much for your reminder, but I believe the area beyond this window is likely to be shrouded in mist. For at every junction of history, High-Dimensional Data tends to create regions that are disconnected.”

Jeremy possessed a certain level of understanding regarding High-Dimensional Data.

Although he could not fully master High-Dimensional Data, he was aware that the world composed of such data was, after all, not a genuine reality.

This understanding implied that there would inevitably be some anomalous regions between the two distinct temporal nodes fabricated by High-Dimensional Data.

The simplest manifestation of these anomalous regions was, of course, fog.

With Ritchie’s gaze upon him, Jeremy passed through the narrow window.

The moment he traversed the constricted opening, Jeremy found himself enveloped in a thick white mist.

Extending his Divine Consciousness, Jeremy swiftly scanned the surrounding area. He did not detect any monsters lurking nearby.

Consequently, Jeremy turned back to Ritchie, who remained in the Giant’s Cemetery, and exclaimed,

“Stop wasting time! There are no monsters here! Hurry and come over!”

Upon hearing these words, Ritchie quickly followed through the narrow window.

The two of them advanced through the fog for approximately fifteen minutes.

The surrounding fog appeared to be completely identical, and neither of the two had discovered anything within the mist.

Ritchie felt that something was slightly amiss.

“Is this the fog of history? Have we become lost in the mists of time?”

In response to Ritchie’s anxious inquiry, Jeremy merely smiled and said,

“If we were truly lost in the fog of history, we would not possess any capacity for thought at this moment. Any consciousness that becomes lost in the historical mists would be transformed into High-Dimensional Data.”

Jeremy’s statement only heightened Ritchie’s concern.

Yet, Ritchie at least understood that he was not in immediate danger.

After continuing forward for an additional fifteen minutes, both of them coincidentally heard the distant sound of a waterfall.

“It seems we are about to step into another segment of history. Before we enter this new chapter, you must be adequately prepared. For within that historical context, there will undoubtedly be enemies present.”

Before proceeding further, Jeremy specifically cautioned Ritchie.

Ritchie donned the Ravager’s Gloves and nodded emphatically.

“Rest assured, I am fully prepared for battle! No matter what kind of adversary we encounter, I can swiftly retaliate.”

Although Ritchie had numerous shortcomings.

Jeremy believed he was still the best partner.

Because when faced with crises, Ritchie would never abandon Jeremy. Moreover, Ritchie would absolutely avoid any severe conflicts with Jeremy.

In times of discord, Ritchie would always choose to accommodate Jeremy.

Furthermore, when confronted with difficult decisions, Ritchie would invariably heed Jeremy’s counsel.

Once Ritchie was ready for combat, Jeremy also made some preparations for the impending confrontation.

He grasped the Longsword of the Undying firmly in his hand and then proceeded toward the direction of the waterfall’s sound.

After advancing approximately ten meters, Jeremy suddenly noticed that the historical fog around him had completely dissipated. He found himself beside a lush waterfall.

Below the waterfall lay a vast lake, teeming with aquatic life.

Everything appeared exceptionally beautiful and tranquil.
