Chapter 463 Subspace
The mind is a more ethereal existence than magic. It originates from the human soul and will, and is the inherent potential of life itself, without relying on external rules or energy.
It is extremely powerful yet highly unstable; its strength depends on the user's mental fortitude and spiritual state.
Even the purity of emotions (such as belief, love, obsession).
Like Lily Evans in the Harry Potter world, who, because of her pure love and sacrifice for her son, even withstood Voldemort's Killing Curse, which was many times more powerful than her, and protected her son Harry Potter.
Even setting aside wizards with magical powers, there are stories of ordinary people, such as frail mothers lifting tons of weight with their bare hands to save their crushed children, and husbands fighting giant bears to save their wives.
These people are all ordinary people, but in times of crisis, they unleash tremendous potential because of love, accomplishing things that are impossible under normal circumstances.
This is the manifestation of spiritual power, which Dumbledore called "the power of love."
Every intelligent being possesses this power, but human emotions inevitably fluctuate...
Even the strongest person has moments of weakness, so while the power of the mind is great, it is not stable.
Because psychic energy originates from the heart and is even more ethereal than magical energy, even the gods of Valinor are still in the most primitive stage of utilizing and developing psychic energy.
The only one that is discussed in greater depth is Ilmu, also known as Lorien, the god of dreams and illusions in Valar.
This Vera governs the sleep and spiritual rest of living beings, and can weave dreams that intertwine reality and illusion.
However, although Lorien is called the Lord of Dreams, he is more inclined to the authority of sleep, and together with his brother Mandos, who controls death, they form Feantouri, meaning the ruler of the soul.
Dui once visited Lorien Gardens and consulted the Lord of Dreams about dreams.
After all, dreams are part of the human subconscious and are related to the mind.
Dui had personally experienced the dreamlike scenes in Lorien and was invited by Ilmu to enter the dream realm, where he deeply felt the wonder of dreams.
Inspired by Ilmu's creation of a dream realm, Dui plans to build a space similar to a dream dimension to contain the spiritual energy of the beings of Arda.
Creating such a space would not be an easy task, even with Dui's current capabilities.
However, Dui had a ready-made option: the Netherworld.
The Netherworld is a mysterious realm that exists in contrast to the material world; it is the world inhabited by ghosts and other creatures of the dark realm.
Of all the creatures in Middle-earth, only the children of Ilúvatar—elves (firstborn children), humans (secondborn children), and dwarves (adopted children)—have their souls allowed to travel to the Hall of Mandos in Valinor after death.
As for other creatures, especially dark creatures, ghosts, and evil spirits, they will remain in the Central Continent and become creatures of the Netherworld.
You could say that the Netherworld is a space similar to the underworld.
Dui, however, set his sights on the Netherworld, intending to use it as a framework to reshape a new illusory space to contain the energy of the mind.
But to create such a space, the first problem to solve is the creatures currently living in the Netherworld.
Dui stepped from the Lorien Forest into the Dark Realm.
In the past, he needed to rely on spirit weapons and formations to enter the Netherworld, and he couldn't stay there for long, and he also had to be careful of attacks from Netherworld creatures.
But now Dui moves with ease, effortlessly crossing the dimensions of reality and the Netherworld, and can stay in the Netherworld as long as he wants.
The space of the Netherworld is the same as that of the real world; it can be said to be a mirror image of the real world.
In the real world, creatures such as orcs and ogres have almost all become extinct, but in the Netherworld, the souls of these dark creatures fill the space, numbering in the hundreds of millions.
These creatures of the Netherworld have little reason and devour each other within the Netherworld.
Upon discovering Dui's unfamiliar presence, they showed no fear and instead frantically lunged at him.
Du Yi snorted coldly, and a powerful, invisible force was released from his body, rapidly spreading in all directions.
Dui is now a Maya-level being, possessing top-tier strength in this world. The power he unleashed instantly affected the entire Netherworld.
If he hadn't deliberately restrained himself, he could have destroyed the Netherworld with a single blow.
Under Dui's attack, all the creatures of the Netherworld were annihilated by this power, turning into the most primordial soul energy.
The soul energy was absorbed by the Netherworld space, making this space more stable.
Looking at the empty Netherworld, Dui was very satisfied. He used his Time Domain to cover the Netherworld with time, and then began the long process of transformation.
In the real world, it may have been just a fleeting moment, but in the Netherworld, thousands upon thousands of years have passed.
The Netherworld has undergone earth-shattering changes; the once gray space has now become a vast, white void.
Moreover, because Dui incorporated the power of time into it, time in the Netherworld is completely different from that in the real world. In the real world, perhaps only a second has passed, but in the Netherworld, several days, months, or even longer have passed.
Furthermore, Dui bound his mind to this space, turning it into a source of his spiritual power.
After completing all this, Dui looked at the still empty Netherworld space and activated the formation.
With the blessing of the giant magic circle, the Netherworld trembled and gradually emerged in the real world, looking like a phantom of another world overlapping with the real world!
But such a magnificent spectacle is almost impossible for anyone in Central Continent to see or perceive, as if it has transcended the dimensions of reality and cannot be observed by anyone.
Then, an invisible force of attraction arose in the Netherworld, and all the intelligent races of Central Continent, including humans, elves, and wizards, emitted a spark of spiritual light that transformed into countless stars and flowed into the Netherworld.
These spiritual lights from all living beings converge in the Netherworld, transforming into a sea of spiritual light.
This is not Dui seizing the spiritual energy of all living beings, but rather he using some means to bind the spiritual consciousness of all intelligent life in the Central Continent to this space, turning the Netherworld into the spiritual space of everyone, carrying and gathering the collective spiritual consciousness.
Although it is the sea of the minds of all living beings, Dui set restrictions on the Netherworld to prevent others from entering this space through mental connections with it.
Thus, this space that carries the consciousness of all living beings is no longer suitable to be called the Netherworld.
Therefore, Dui named it "subspace," also known as mental space.
The intelligent life in the Middle Continent numberes in the hundreds of millions. Through the bonded mental connection, they can continuously input mental energy into the subspace, thereby expanding the Sea of Mind.
However, Dui was not satisfied with this, because he still had time and means to provide powerful assistance for the growth of the Sea of the Mind.
Dui was in the subspace, using his power of time to separate the entire subspace from the time of the real world, and then time traveled.
Dui took the subspace back to the past timeline.
The Fourth Age, the Third Age, the War of the Ring, the War of the Five Armies — The Second Age, the War of the Last Alliance
The Demise of Númenor — The First Age, the War of Wrath —
At countless points in time, the subspace silently descended upon that spacetime and bound itself to the consciousness of all intelligent life.
Since the emergence of intelligent life, the number of life forms that have appeared is as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, immeasurable.
These beings contributed their spiritual light, causing the ocean of the mind in the warp to grow rapidly and become boundless.
Their consciousness, wisdom, and emotions all converged here, even evolving into a complete spiritual world, like a paradise, more sacred and beautiful than Valinor!
