Chapter 1516 is still a long way off.
"'The Forgotten Kingdom'..."
Lin Yu pondered the name, narrowing his eyes.
"Could it be... that we have already arrived in the divine realm of the 'God of Oblivion'?"
Upon hearing Lin Yu's question, the chosen one of the God of Oblivion shook his head slightly.
"Such a thing is still impossible to do for the time being—pulling people directly into the Kingdom of God is not a simple matter."
“Especially now that we are in the kingdom of another god.”
"However... it's not entirely wrong for you to think that way, since the place we are in now can also be called... a projection of the 'Forgotten Kingdom'."
"Of course—I will take you to the true divine kingdom in a moment, and then... you will become the vessel of the 'Forgotten' authority and will, just like me, and become the 'chosen one' of the God of Forgotten."
As the chosen one of the Gods of Oblivion spoke, Lin Yu sighed.
“This is completely different from the cooperation I had envisioned… I never agreed to become the God of Oblivion’s ‘chosen one’.”
The chosen one of the God of Oblivion spoke nonchalantly: "I know you didn't agree, and you didn't consent, which is why I brought you here."
“In this ‘Land of the Forgotten,’ you have neither the right nor the ability to refuse me.”
Hearing the other person's confident yet arrogant statement, Lin Yu looked at him and sincerely asked in return.
"is it?"
"I think...maybe not."
As Lin Yu spoke, the chosen one of the Forgotten God frowned: "Are you still planning to put up a last-ditch resistance? Very well, then let you witness the power of this 'Kingdom of the Forgotten'!"
The chosen one of the God of Oblivion raised his hand, and the thick fog around him began to flow and pour into Lin Yu's mouth and nose.
As a damp and rotten smell filled his nostrils, Lin Yu immediately prepared to use the [Ancient Notes] to input information into himself, to prevent him from forgetting anything important.
But Lin Yu soon discovered...
He didn't forget anything.
Instead, he "remembered" many things.
Images kept flashing through my mind.
A warm campfire slowly rises, the shadows of trees sway and dance in the woods, and the stars shine softly in the sky. I sit by the fire watching the rice and lean meat simmer in the iron pot, waiting for my friends to return from fishing by the river—this is a memory from a camping trip I took with my friends a few years ago.
Frosting, honey, shortbread, spices... all sorts of sweet aromas filled my nostrils. The bright counter displayed a variety of exquisite pastries. Handsome men and gentle women smiled at me and said something to me—this was a memory of my parents and mother taking me to the pastry shop to buy pastries when I was a child.
The sound of waves crashing against the rocks, mixed with melodious singing, echoed in my ears. In the distance, the sound of ship horns could be heard. A young girl happily showed off the beautiful seashells she had found—a memory of a trip to the beach with the girl she liked during her high school years.
and also……
wrong!
Lin Yu interrupted his train of thought, took out a kitchen knife, and cleanly and neatly made a long, thin cut on his forearm. The pain brought Lin Yu back to his senses temporarily.
"Phew...that was dangerous enough!"
All the "memories" I just experienced... were not my own memories!
That's someone else's past, someone else's experience!
after all……
Whether it was his camping friends, the girl he liked, or his parents, none of these people existed in Lin Yu's memory!
Even if you think about it carefully, the species of trees around the campsite, the types of pastries in the snack shops, the color of the sea... are all different from the world you live in—these are memories from different beings in the ten realms!
Just now, they, along with this mist, entered my memory directly and almost became part of it.
Lin Yu raised his head and looked at the chosen one of the God of Oblivion.
"That's certainly a clever tactic... Is this an attack using forgotten 'memories'?"
The chosen one of the God of Oblivion looked at Lin Yu, whose eyes had regained their clarity, and was somewhat surprised: "You got rid of the influence so quickly? Well, that's good... This is what makes you worthy of my attention."
"Calling it an attack is too harsh. This is just a way to make you give up resistance quickly... After all, if your consciousness is already in a 'lost' or 'chaotic' state, your memories are not clear enough. So it will be much easier to exert the effect of 'forgetting' on you, won't it?"
The chosen one of the Gods of Oblivion explained.
"Alright—although you can escape by your own will, it's useless."
"Your resistance will only increase your suffering."
The chosen one, who had forgotten himself, spoke, and then the mist surged toward Lin Yu once more.
New memories are flooding back—this time, harmonious family dinners, joyful recollections of drinking with friends at a bar, the delight of overlooking the view after climbing a mountain, the comfort of lying in an air-conditioned room drinking soda on a summer afternoon…
Even though he already knew that these memories were false and did not belong to him, Lin Yu was still disturbed again—a large number of memories and the genuine emotions in them directly affected his soul, just like the emotions he spontaneously generated. From a subjective point of view, there was no sense of incongruity from the "foreign memories".
Furthermore, the density and frequency of these memory inputs are increasing.
One memory after another entered Lin Yu's consciousness. Hundreds, even thousands, of different experiences and life memories gradually covered Lin Yu's mind, constantly diluting and fading his original short memories of more than ten years of life.
In this process, even the most self-aware person will inevitably lose their understanding of "self".
Therefore, the chosen one of the God of Oblivion looked at the calm and powerless Lin Yu and waited quietly—all he needed to do was wait.
When those memories completely overwhelm Lin Yu's self and he has no reaction to the newly flooding memories... when those memories completely shatter his "self" and his vibrant soul returns to near-death silence, he can use the power of "forgetting" to make Lin Yu forget all his memories, those chaotic memories mixed with a large number of foreign memories, and obtain a... soul with a completely blank self-awareness.
This was an extremely simple matter for him.
Therefore, God's choice awaits...
A minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Three minutes passed.
……
Ten minutes passed.
Memories from tens of thousands of people flooded into Lin Yu's soul, but his soul remained...
It did not fall into dead silence.
This puzzled the chosen one of the God of Oblivion.
"Is this...is this right?"
Lin Yu had already broken free once on his own initiative, which was quite unexpected and surprising—but that was still within the scope of the God of Oblivion's acceptance.
In his view, although this incident demonstrated Lin Yu's exceptional talent, there were many beings in the Ten Realms who could do the same thing—even the others around him when he approached Lin Yu could likely have also managed to "voluntarily break free" once.
but……
The chosen one of the God of Oblivion, I don't think there's anyone who could withstand this level of memory baptism for more than ten minutes without falling into a state of "consciousness confusion" and losing themselves!
But the truth is…
The soul of the person before me is still active—although it wouldn't be accurate to say he was completely unaffected, as his emotions fluctuate greatly, but... judging from the activity level of Lin Yu's soul and his mental state, he has not been fundamentally affected in the slightest.
Lin Yu still retains complete "self-awareness".
"how did you do that?"
The chosen one of the God of Oblivion couldn't help but mutter to himself.
However, his muttered words, which he hadn't expected to get a response from, were answered by Lin Yu.
“I don’t know either… Maybe I’m someone who isn’t affected by other people’s memories,” Lin Yu said calmly. “After all, I’m a natural actor… An actor has to be able to play all kinds of roles, immerse himself in all kinds of lives, and still have the ability to detach himself at any time.”
"Of course... it's not a skill that all actors possess. In fact, some excellent actors are precisely the ones who face the crisis of getting too immersed in their roles, becoming unable to extricate themselves, and ultimately leading to tragedy."
"However, it won't happen to me... I was born with this ability."
As Lin Yu spoke, the chosen one of the Gods of Oblivion stared at him, stunned.
"You...you can speak?"
He originally thought that Lin Yu had the ability to resist these memories.
But now... Lin Yu can still respond to him, which proves...
Lin Yu not only maintained the integrity of his "self-awareness", but was also almost... completely unaffected!
He can even react to external stimuli and answer his own questions after thinking logically.
What a... monster this is!
"how did you do it?"
Looking at the chosen one of the Gods of Oblivion, Lin Yu calmly said, "At first, I couldn't do it, but after a while, I got used to it."
The chosen one of the God of Oblivion looked at Lin Yu and remained silent for a long time before speaking: "Even gods, as long as their authority does not involve this aspect... cannot remain completely unaffected when the vast 'memories' of tens of thousands of beings flood their consciousness all at once in a short period of time..."
Lin Yu spread his hands: "But I really have no problem... To be honest, I've done even more outrageous things on my own initiative."
Lin Yu was not exaggerating this point.
After all, back in the Gray Zone... Lin Yu had divided his soul into hundreds of millions of parts and parasitized the souls of hundreds of millions of people.
In that process, he inevitably witnessed the memories of hundreds of millions of people and experienced a far greater number of lives than he does now.
So, for Lin Yu now...
It's still a long way off.
