And these only two colors are not naturally formed, but colors bestowed by light.
Red sun, blue moon.
In other words, if not for the influence of sun and moon, the Jie Lin at this moment would be completely colorless, like a photograph taken with a black and white camera in ancient times.
Of course, given he only has a text perspective, colors are not important.
What’s crucial at the moment is the change in status.
[As you step into the area of the fourth layer, a deeper pressure penetrates your body, suddenly making the divine power within you feel even weaker.]
[Warning: In the current environment, the effect and potency of your Divine Arts, Divine Power, and divinity-related tools are all weakened by more than 99%.]
[Warning: More parts of the Black Angel are failing due to environmental influences, combat power greatly reduced; please replace parts suitable for this environment promptly.]
[Warning: The Fool’s game is experiencing massive interference, causing significant delays in the transmission and assembly of items. Text transmission efficiency is affected, and all texts will be delayed by 8-15 seconds to appear.]
Three consecutive warnings popped up, making Mu You’s eyelids twitch a few times.
The first two were expected; the fourth layer’s suppression of the divine system was 100%, and Black Angel faced further suppression. He had anticipated these and wasn’t too surprised.
The key point is the third one: game text starts appearing with a delay!
This impacts him greatly because it means all the information he sees later has already happened, leaving him unable to respond in time.
Of course, the game AI will react temporarily if necessary; for instance, during combat, you can choose auto-battle, but the AI is ultimately rigid. Without someone controlling from behind, it can’t respond correctly to many situations.
More importantly, the text delay being 8-15 seconds means the rewind function can no longer be used, as it lasts only up to ten seconds; rewinding won’t change the outcome.
While he was continuously weakened, the surrounding creatures were becoming stronger. Mu You had vaguely felt that his current state probably couldn’t pass through the fourth layer.
As expected, on the way ahead, he started being bullied by various small-sized animals.
At this point, the Divine Slaying Authority and other Divine Powers were completely ineffective, and Mu You was thoroughly reduced to just a normal human, relying only on Black Angel.
But Black Angel too was heavily suppressed, with various weapons on it failing consecutively, leaving only its defensive power intact; its attack capabilities were devastatingly weak.
Under such circumstances, even some low-tier creatures in Jie Lin could freely bully him. He felt nauseous from being entangled by mischievous small creatures all the way, relying solely on Black Angel’s defensive power to withstand the damage and forcefully break out.
And this was only the fourth layer; there were still three more layers waiting for him.
"Too difficult..."
At this point, Mu You fully experienced how weak humans were in the environment of Jie Lin.
It makes sense; in the original primitive world, even the Divine Race with Titan size were just lower-tier species. How much more so humans from lower planes, predestined to be among the weakest in the Primordial World, lacking any ability to even fend off trivial threats.
Next, Mu You cautiously trudged through the fourth layer for half a day, only making it through one-tenth of this leg.
Fortunately, he didn’t encounter any large-sized creatures within this half-day; otherwise, given his current state, he’d be dead for sure.
["Warning, detected enhanced pulse signal, continuously transmitting from over ten thousand meters away in the right front!"]
"Huh?"
Mu You was delighted, unexpectedly finding a Mechanic’s signal at this moment.
Moreover, this time it was an ’enhanced’ signal, with a significantly increased transmission range, which allowed Ava to capture it; otherwise, it might have been missed.
Without thinking twice, Mu You quickly maneuvered the character towards it.
This time is a fixed signal, not moving, thus nearby it might hide relics left by a Mechanic. Finding these relics, Mu You can modify Black Angel, freeing himself from the current plight.
[You drive Black Angel, crossing through dense jungles, rushing towards the direction of the signal...]
[A black shadow suddenly rushes out from the forest, with a tricky angle, entangling one of Black Angel’s legs.]
[Black Angel loses balance and crashes to the ground.]
[Ava quickly maneuvers Black Angel to get up and flee, but more and more vines stretch out from behind, soon tightly wrapping around Black Angel’s whole body.]
[These vines seem to have life, continuously twisting, naturally avoiding Black Angel’s sword blade, winding circle after circle, in the blink to wrap Black Angel like a rice dumpling.]
[Warning: The joints of Black Angel are obstructed, losing control, unable to operate.]
"Damn..."
Mu You felt his heart sink, thinking it was over.
He was stuck inside Black Angel, and with it unable to move, he naturally couldn’t get out.
If he were in the third layer, he could use the Divine Slaying Authority to cut through these vines, but in the fourth layer, Divine Power was reduced to 0. Even wielding the God of Decapitation blade, he couldn’t create the Sword Qi, only watching helplessly while trapped here.
Importantly, these plants couldn’t have possibly spent a great effort tying up passing creatures just for fun...
Sure enough, a bright red alert popped up immediately after.
[A sharp thorn vine digs through Black Angel’s gap, piercing into your back, injecting a plant toxin from its tip into your body.]
[You suddenly feel dizzy, losing all your strength, and your consciousness becomes blurry. Under the influence of the toxin, your skin and flesh start slowly softening and decaying...]
"Is it over..."
Mu You sighed, realizing he was powerless to reverse this desperate situation, ready to head back to the Soul Lamp of layer two to start all over again.
"This time, I must find the Mechanic’s relic in the third layer..."
Mu You silently pondered in his heart.
However, just as he had given up hope, an unexpected prompt popped up.
[You suddenly hear footsteps coming closer from not far away; you barely manage to open your eyelids, glimpsing through the gaps in the mecha, vaguely seeing human feet appearing on the ground in front of you.]
[In the next second, you slip into unconsciousness due to the toxin, but before passing out, you faintly hear a child’s naive shout: "Brother, there’s someone here!"]
[Amid the slightly off-key Star Spirit Language echoing, your vision blackened, plunging into complete unconsciousness...]
"Human feet?"
Mu You was dumbfounded.
In such a creepy place, humans are actually alive?
Moreover, the mention of ’Star Spirit Language’ suggests this human speaks in Star Spirit Language...
Could it be that those pioneering Fool’s Ancestors hadn’t been entirely wiped out?
Previously, when Mu You entered the fourth layer, he saw no messages from the Fool’s Ancestors nearby, thus naturally assumed the few remaining ancestors had died back in the third layer, not making it to the fourth.
But now it seems some have survived and have been living in Jie Lin until now?
[While unconscious, you barely feel yourself falling to the ground, lifted by someone, transported somewhere amid a shaky journey, followed by pieces of your mecha being disassembled and clothes pulled aside...]
[You faintly hear the voices of a man and a woman speaking, with some cool medicinal liquids being applied all over your body...]
Following that, Mu You’s character remained unconscious for over ten hours, the status once nearly fatal, but seems to have been taken somewhere for treatment, eventually brought back to life by others.
Only by the second day did Mu You’s character’s sight finally recover.
[A cool breeze brushes over your eyelids, awakening you from sleep, opening your eyes to see two human faces.]
[A boy and a girl with light blue skin surround you, staring at you; both have gray-white face paint smeared on, and some beast teeth and bones worn as accessories on their heads.]
["Dad, mom, he’s awake, he’s awake!" The little girl cries out excitedly, quickly running out of the room. Only the little boy remained, arms crossed, expressionless while watching you, his eyes evidently flickering with curiosity.]
[You attempt to sit up, the grievous pain causing you to fall back. That’s when you realize you’re in a simple stone hut, with herbal scents drifting in the air, lying on the only wooden bed in the room, bandages wrapped all over.]
[A pair of adult males and females entered one after another from outside, and you note these two have normal human skin color – they are Fools!]
[The tall male Fool walks to your side, looking at you with a strange expression. You notice he holds a somewhat familiar mechanical head in his hands – the Black Angel’s head.]
["Unbelievable, you managed to come here alone relying on such an ineffective battle armor... Have the outside Fools become this powerful?" the male Fool murmurs to himself.]
