Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 4171

These shadows appeared to be real and not mere hallucinations.

Zen shook his head and stared at them. However, they all gathered back together instantly.

Surely, they must have all come, somehow, from the people they resembled, and they were now like overflowing water, about to spread out at any time.

The strange visions persisted for a few moments more before Zen finally broke out of his stupor.

Fuxi, the Snake Goddess, Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the others all gathered around him, concern written across their faces.

At Zen's level of cultivation, he couldn't possibly become this disoriented unless he was confronted with a powerful soul pressure.

But who in Zen's inner world was that powerful?

"Zen, are you all right?" the Snake Goddess asked worriedly.

As the visions faded away, Zen came to his senses. He looked around in a daze. "I saw numerous shadows just now."

"Shadows? You must be mistaken. They were probably hallucinations," Fuxi replied, furrowing his brows. Zen must be so fatigued facing so much pressure that he was starting to see things.

"Hallucinations?"

Zen frowned. "They didn't seem to be hallucinations, or afterimages. They seemed real."

"What?"

The Snake Goddess, Fuxi, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi stared at Zen, not comprehending.

However, Zen became more and more convinced he was right. He pointed at the distance. "I saw twelve Snake Goddesses, ten Fuxis, eleven Pear Hills, and six Eastern Emperor Taiyis. They were really there."

Fuxi gave Zen a blank look. Finally, he burst out, "Crazy! You've gone crazy!"

"I haven't," Zen said calmly. "There must be something wrong with this place, not me!"

"Alright. Let's say there's an anomaly in this space. But why would there be twelve of me?" the Snake Goddess asked seriously.

Compared to Fuxi, the Snake Goddess was more inclined to trust Zen.

If Zen said that what he saw was real, then she chose to believe him.

"I don't know." Zen shook his head.

The number of the visions of the people varied. The Snake Goddess had the largest number, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi had the least. Zen couldn't figure out what the determining factors possibly could be.

"The Variable Images. Zen, what you saw might have been the Variable Images..." Gerald's voice suddenly floated over from the jadeite platform.

Zen and the Snake Goddess turned to look at Gerald and approached him at the platform. The Snake Goddess was the first to ask. "What is the Variable Image?"

"Only people with a deep knowledge of space can see the Variable Images," Gerald continued. "In this round of chaos, the first person to see the Variable Images was Othniel. After comprehending the truth of space, he saw the Variable Images several times."

"I remember that he had tried to show it to us," Kendrick, who was beside Gerald, added.

It was only in the early stages of chaos that the six Chaos Ancient Gods had no conflict with each other, so what Kendrick said must have happened in the earlier stages of the world.

"Yes. He said I had twenty Variable Images," Gerald recalled. "Kendrick had seventeen, and Othniel himself had the least number, only eight."

"But what exactly are those Variable Images?" The Snake Goddess pressed, more curious than the others.

"I'm not sure," Gerald said. "Othniel had carefully observed the Variable Images, and he said that they were all just versions of the same people."

"So I really have twelve versions of myself?" the Snake Goddess said, bewildered.

"That's what Othniel said. His understanding of space had reached an unfathomable level, far beyond our knowledge," said Gerald. "But from the perspective of life, I don't agree with what he said."
