When Lu Ban realized this, he felt that the world around him suddenly became unreal.

This ship, the sea, and the temple seem like fake objects made up of accumulated data. He himself is like a player in the game, dying again and again, passing levels, and completing the game in a world of constant repetition and infinite reincarnation.

Compared to Feng Yu's replacement body, the Kingdom of Night transformed knowledge into temporary items obtained through prayer. These great beings hidden behind the curtain were obviously much more advanced.

They got the information about these scenes from nowhere, constructed the system of the Land of Silence, threw God's Chosen Ones into the scenes one by one, watched them struggle, watched them suffer, watched them die, watched them gain, and finally pocketed the knowledge that was bought at the cost of their lives.

At the same time, they are also using the Chosen Ones to play games, releasing certain things, sealing certain things, destroying certain things, and creating certain things for their own benefit.

"It seems you have almost understood it."

Feng Yu's voice rang in Lu Ban's ears.

"This is the picture of the Silent Land. This is also the picture of these foreign lands, the foreign lands you know and don't know. Those gods outside the universe whose true faces are unknown to anyone control the chosen ones in this way, allowing them to understand the polluted knowledge."

Just like Feng Yu will replace his body when the pollution of one body reaches its limit.

Those extraterritorial gods will also treat the chosen ones as consumables, and once their sanity disappears, they will be discarded as garbage.

Even though the tasks given by Silence now are quite normal and he has no intention of harming the world where Lu Ban is, he cannot change these facts.

When you are playing games, do you feel sad when a soldier dies?

Instead of going through all the trouble and maneuvering to keep this soldier alive, it is better to create another one. All you need to do is press F2 to select them all, then press A to go over and you're done.

It cannot be said that you have any malicious or kind feelings towards this soldier. You are just operating mechanically for your own purpose.

To those gods from outside the domain, humans, the chosen ones, and other races within the foreign domain are all the same.

"But if you think about it this way, you can actually deduce another conclusion."

Lu Ban suddenly had an idea.

"If these gods are omniscient and omnipotent, then they don't need to go to so much trouble to do these things. So we can assume that these gods are not omniscient and omnipotent. We can even continue to deduce that they still need us to explore foreign knowledge and keep repeating our attempts. Does this mean that their own power is also constrained?"

"You mean, they were also sealed?"

Feng Yu quickly understood what Lu Ban meant.

If these gods are really powerful, then they can take action themselves. The reason why they need the Chosen Ones and the framework of the Land of Silence is because they are restricted here.

Therefore, it is more likely that these gods have their powers sealed to varying degrees, or have fallen into a deep sleep, or are unable to intervene directly for some reason, and can only act within the current framework. Whoever can obtain enough knowledge to escape first will be able to suppress other beings.

When he thought of this, Lu Ban heard a sound coming from the engine room.

First there was a slippery sound like tentacles dragging across the ground, followed by the sound of water, then a slight explosion, and then Lu Ban felt the earth shaking.

No, it was the vibration of the ship.

A rhythmic sound was heard, and as time passed, the vibration gradually subsided, replaced by the revival of the entire steel behemoth.

clatter--

With a crisp sound of switching, the entire cabin lit up.

Lu Ban saw that the lights were on in the engine room. The Bandage Man and the Fish Man were tinkering with those complicated instruments. The Fish Man was mainly researching. He didn't look like he was handling these machines for the first time at all. He pressed the button very skillfully, starting the engine of the Stars.

As for the Shadow Demons, Lu Ban found no trace of them.

It’s just that the bandaged man’s body seemed to have grown bigger, as if he had swallowed something.

"Can they deal with the Shadow Demon?"

Lu Ban increasingly felt that he couldn't show up rashly. These guys must have some killer moves. If he confronted them head-on, he might suffer a loss.

"Perhaps those shadow demons were originally placed by the people behind them..."

Feng Yu fell into deep thought. From her tone, Lu Ban could imagine Feng Yu holding her chin and thinking hard. Although he had never seen it, his intuition told Lu Ban that it must be very interesting.

“Perhaps there is a third party. In addition to Silence and the gods behind them, there are other gods who are also paying attention to this place.”

After the engine room was started normally, the Stars began to slowly set sail with the rotation of the turbine.

However, moving such a heavy ship requires tremendous power, and the Stars moved extremely slowly.

The two waited for a while before finally leaving the engine room.

Lu Ban looked at the equipment that was operating steadily and frowned slightly.

"How does this thing stop?"

He asked Feng Yu to unlock his hands and press the stop button. From Lu Ban's understanding, this should be the switch to shut down the engine.

No response.

"broken?"

Lu Ban pressed it several more times.

Da da da——

Still no response.

“That’s not right…”

Lu Ban pulled down the lever that controlled the speed again. According to the scale, the turbine should now rotate in the opposite direction and the entire ship should move backwards.

However, the Stars continued to accelerate forward, with no signs of slowing down or reversing.

"Could it be that these devices are not activated in the normal way?"

Lu Ban thought about what the fishman had done.

There might not be such mechanical ships in his world, but he used it like a seasoned driver, which certainly was not something he learned on the spot.

Well, even though Lu Ban doesn’t know how to drive a boat, he looks very professional at first glance.

Lu Ban guessed that the extraordinary ability that this fishman might possess was to master the operating principles of these machines, or to use some method to make the machines run on their own.

Then it is the supernatural power that is in control.

It is impossible to stop the machine by normal means.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban made a decision.

He materialized [Last Words] and selected one of the speeches.

Aiming at the machine, Lu Ban pulled the trigger.

Bang——

The next moment, the machine flew out at high speed and hit the wall. Parts flew around and even the lights flickered a few times.

There is no doubt that the equipment is broken.

"Oh no, will this make the ship explode?"

Lu Ban realized later that this location connected to the power room could cause an explosion if something unexpected happened.

However, the changes did not occur as he expected.

Lu Ban saw that after the control console that controlled the entire ship was completely destroyed and flew to the other end of the room, the ship was still moving slowly forward, as if the console still existed.

“…Is this the extraordinary power from another world?”

Lu Ban couldn't help but sigh.
