Lu Ban felt his head boiling.

The octopus exploded into pieces, and each piece burned and suddenly turned into ashes.

The transmission of the contaminable substance did not stop, but was transmitted along the connection between Lu Ban and the octopus.

For a moment, he felt an unprecedented dizziness, as if he was tossed back and forth on a bumpy boat, which made him want to vomit.

However, since Lu Ban had not yet had time to vomit, he didn't have to worry about this problem.

Bang——

Lu Ban's entire head exploded, and pink, red, and white semi-solid substances were everywhere, splashing on the glass, like the work of a food processor that had malfunctioned and spread all over the kitchen.

His body melted immediately and turned into a pool of meat paste.

There was a magic barrier around Xiaya that resisted the explosion of Lu Ban. She was a little dazed, looking at Lu Ban gradually dripping down on the glass cover. She couldn't help but reach out, pick up a little Lu Ban with her white fingers, and licked it to her mouth.

“It tastes terrible.”

Xia came to the conclusion and immediately spat out Lu Ban in her mouth.

The next moment, the melted Lu Ban gradually gathered together and soon returned to human form.

Including the part that Xia had just eaten, also returned to his body.

"Are you a little smaller?"

Xia looked Lu Ban up and down and commented.

"Where is it smaller?"

Lu Ban looked around himself and found nothing wrong.

“It just feels smaller.”

Xia patted Lu Ban.

"Oh, it's indeed a little smaller."

When Lu Ban thought about it, he realized that the flesh as big as his fist had just evaporated, so it was indeed a little smaller.

It's not a big problem, it can be used as is.

"What did you see?"

Xia asked again.

Lu Ban would definitely not explode for no reason. He must have come into contact with something.

What's more, there is very little pollution that can cause Lu Ban to explode like this. It must be some powerful medicine.

“Not so good stuff.”

Although Lu Ban suffered a huge shock at that moment, his sanity collapsed and he couldn't even maintain his human form, and his spinal cord was almost pulled out to use as a sword, but he still gained something.

Knowledge is pollution, and likewise, pollution is knowledge.

As long as you can withstand the erosion and alienation brought by pollution, you can gain rich knowledge that is far beyond your imagination.

So, Lu Ban also gained knowledge.

He closed his eyes, and some silver bubbles appeared in the void.

The bubbles did not burst but continued to rise, gathering together like soap, forming a bizarre picture.

Although this picture looks harmonious, it exudes a weird atmosphere.

Among these flashing bubbles, Lu Ban saw some images.

There is molten lava flowing and solidifying on the planet that has not yet cooled down.

A city full of futuristic technology collapsed under the weight of a huge metal moon.

And in the vast purple sea, a twisted and ugly creature took its first steps onto the ground.

As the images floating on the surface of the bubble flowed, Lu Ban saw the silver nail floating in the sky again. As the nail fell, the surrounding alien land fell downwards as if being pulled.

The knowledge about Tavel's time anchor quickly came to his mind.

Although the materials needed to make this thing were not something Lu Ban could easily get, he still understood the basic principles.

The harvest was fruitful.

"It looks like this time anchor won't last long."

Lu Ban said quickly.

Even for someone in the Brilliant Realm, seven thousand years is definitely not just a blink of an eye.

The energy required for the Tavel Time Anchor to anchor time is enormous. Generally speaking, this energy does not come out of thin air, but is taken from the people and used for the people.

For example, the Tavel Time Anchor located on He Island, the energy used to anchor time comes from He Island itself.

And this energy is not just energy in the conventional sense, it also includes the future of foreign countries, the heritage of civilization, potential, etc.

It can be said that the Tavel time anchor is using the future Hedao to fill the gaps in the present.

As energy continues to burn and consume, the island's future will fall further and further behind, and it will be closer to destruction.

It feels like using future money to pay off current debts.

There are actually some paradoxes here.

The more brilliantly the civilization of Hedao develops, the more energy it can absorb, and the more time it can have to deal with the awakening of the Outer Gods this time, thus allowing Hedao to have a better environment for the development of civilization and become better.

This is a closed loop.

As the energy of Hedao is constantly used to anchor time, there is not much future left for them, resulting in less and less energy left, making it difficult to solve the problem in the end.

If Lu Ban is an outstanding mathematician and exoticist, then he should be able to calculate an extreme threshold. When the degree of pollution exceeds this threshold, there is no hope for the exotic world because its future energy cannot be supplied to guarantee that the problem can be solved now. Continuing will only lead to the destruction of the exotic world and be futile.

If the impact of pollution does not reach the threshold, then the endless future energy can be used to solve current problems, and this foreign land is worth saving.

From a moral point of view, this way of calculation is too cold-blooded and ruthless, but in a foreign land, only careful calculation can ensure survival.

The reason why the people of the Glorious Realm travel through foreign lands and save the worlds ravaged by the Old Ones is not because they are saints who cherish life, but because all foreign lands are being polluted, and the Glorious Realm is no exception. In order to avoid the doomsday that will come one day, the people of the Glorious Realm have to deal with the crises in these foreign lands and try to find answers.

This is also the reason why the Glorious Realm was eventually destroyed, because they could not get the answer, all their efforts were in vain, even their own world had exceeded that threshold, under precise calculations, destruction was the best answer.

Of course, as for Hedao, if there is no intervention from the Glorious Realm, the awakened Outer Gods will destroy this place in an instant, and there will be no future at all.

But Lu Ban simply observed the data of the Tavel time anchor here, and he quickly came to a conclusion.

That is, according to the current progress, Hedao belongs to the "abandoned" part of the foreign land.

After reaching the conclusion, the people in the Glorious Realm should leave immediately, minimize the losses, and use their props to completely plow this foreign land.

If we want to save this place, if we want to reverse all this, we must have some means that can balance both sides and bring the pollution here within the threshold.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban felt the surroundings getting darker.

The sky did not change, but a huge shadow covered the position where he and Xia were.

Old Song is back.
