Chapter 200: The truth behind the extinction of the Sky City

Speaking of carvings, we have to mention that among the tens of thousands of people in the Shali clan, Lu Yuan has selected a few carving readers who are relatively talented - as the first generation to come to Pangu Continent, the probability of them possessing divine skills is the highest.

The carvings were extraordinary, they were knowledge that could change one's destiny. He owed the Sandi clan a great favor, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to repay them with this knowledge.

It’s a pity that the entry requirement for this field is proficiency in advanced mathematics.

The difficulty of learning this thing is really hard for those rough guys. They don't even know elementary school math. They have to count on their fingers to do addition and subtraction of three-digit numbers.

So after tinkering with it for a while, Lu Yuan lost his patience and asked the old cat or the conch to teach him. If they couldn't teach them well, then forget it.

"What should I do next? I really don't know how to obtain the heritage of the Sky City..." Lu Yuan was thinking in his mind.

"How about studying carving for a few more years? The most important thing now is to help the Sandi tribe obtain a stable water source, which can be regarded as completely repaying the favor."

"I have to think of a way..."

"Should we dig deeper for groundwater, or steal from the Sky City?"

However, at this moment, suddenly, Lu Yuan heard a noisy sound.

When I stuck my head out, I saw the villagers howling and rushing towards the city in the sky like crazy.

This happens almost every day, and there is no other good way except to knock them down or tie them up.

But today the number is exceptionally large. At first glance, there are actually hundreds of people, men and women, young and old, women and children.

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Before he could make a move, the villagers fell headfirst to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and twitching on the ground as if they had epilepsy.

"what happened?!"

Lu Yuan moved them to a cool place and looked towards the direction of the Sky City.

An unknown purple mist rose in the center of the city.

The murmurous whispers exuded a language of terror and taboo.

At this moment, he almost lost his mind.

The next second, the eternal fire began to beat wildly, forcibly pulling his consciousness back.

Lu Yuan bit his tongue hard and identified himself.

I found that I was given a debuff.

[Field·Confusion: Intelligent life within the field will gradually lose consciousness and eventually be stripped of its soul.]

In just a moment, cold sweat crept up my back and my heart started beating wildly.

What is this?!

"Comrade, something terrible has happened! All the villagers have fainted!" Old Cat ran in from the threshold with a serious expression on his face.

"Something has happened in the center of Sky City. All these people are going to die."

Lu Yuan ran around the village and shouted, "Is there anyone awake? Come on!"

“I…I…”

A low wailing sound came from a room.

He is the militia captain Shakaner, a level two expert and the strongest in the village.

He was lying near the well, his chest heaving.

Lu Yuan quickly took out a bottle of Soul Infant Fruit juice and fed him a few drops with a syringe.

Shakaner drank the juice and took deep breaths, seeming to regain some consciousness: "I have severe hallucinations... The Ascension Ceremony is about to begin... This voice keeps calling me... My head hurts so badly... I can't stand it."

Lu Yuan threw the bottle of juice into a bucket to dilute it.

He took out several large buckets of pure water, threw the core of the Ice Qilin into them, and froze the liquid inside into ice.

After swallowing a glass of ice water down his throat, Shakaner finally woke up, widened his eyes, and shook his head heavily.

Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "Please wake up the warriors in the village and ask them to give some to the villagers to drink, so that their souls will not be taken away."

"If you have the energy to go to other villages, please go there and get rid of some of this water."

"Old cat, where are the camels? Are any still awake?"

"All the camels are unconscious!" cried the old cat.

"I'll leave the tricycle to you, and give you two Soul Infant Fruits... Move the people to the Black Iron Room as quickly as possible."

Lu Yuan took out a roll of steel made of "black iron" from the storage space. It weighed two hundred kilograms and was about one millimeter thick. He commissioned Lize civilization to make it.

This layer of black iron has the effect of isolating superpowers. Although it is not complete isolation, it is better than nothing.

Shakaner also knew that this was a life-and-death crisis, so he inserted a few silver needles into certain acupuncture points. The intense pain made his whole body tremble, and he squeezed out a few words from his throat: "Okay, I will resist even if I die and complete this mission."

He punched and kicked a few young men who were quite strong, and then fed them juice.

The young men woke up from their confusion, each with a splitting headache. Looking at the almost completely destroyed village, their faces changed drastically.

…

After explaining all these things, Lu Yuan took his friends, rode on the immortal giant turtle, and rushed towards the sky city.

The degree of [Field·Confusion] continues to increase, bringing an extremely terrifying pressure.

Lu Yuan had hallucinations constantly appearing in his mind, and he could only mobilize the Eternal Fire to suppress them.

The little friends on the turtle's back also have their own ideas.

"Lu Yuan, if there really is a very powerful monster there, after it leaves, we can still pick up the legacy of the Green Civilization."

"It can't stay here forever." The old cat was always cold and rational.

"But the consequence of doing so is that the Sarari clan will probably be wiped out... They won't be able to hold on for too long."

To be honest, Lu Yuan was a little confused.

If he chose to escape at this moment, he could indeed escape.

His storage space was filled with water, enough for him to cross the desert again. He could just find a corner and stay there for several years.

The space teleportation device can still be used...it's not a bad idea to teleport back.

This level of field is much wider than the previous [Magic Shadow].

With Lu Yuan's personality, he doesn't like to fight an unprepared battle.

He did have some friendship with the Sarari clan, but it was not to the point of risking his life for them...

But……

Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless?

The six months I spent with these native people were a rare period of peace and comfort.

Lu Yuan couldn't bear to watch them die.

Cold sweat quietly climbed up my back and my brain was working rapidly.

"Go get my tree of life back first, and then make the other decisions."

The running speed of the Immortal Giant Turtle was astonishing. It could cover a distance of thirty or forty kilometers in less than an hour.

The closer you get to the city in the sky, the more severe the mysterious illusion becomes.

Murmuring whispers flooded into his mind, as if an invisible hand had grabbed his soul and wanted to take him to another mysterious world.

Lu Yuan shook his head heavily, and a red light curtain emerged on the surface of his skin.

"If you think you can hold on, why not just see what the illusion is." The old cat suggested, "If you can really investigate the cause of the extinction of the Green Civilization, subsequent decisions will be easier."

After some thought, Lu Yuan agreed with this plan: "I think it's feasible."

Relax your mind for now and let the illusion invade your brain.

After all, he has Miss Conch with 34 points of divine attributes by his side, who can provide a little help in times of crisis; and the old cat is less affected, with the juice of the Soul Infant Fruit in his claws, which can also dispel illusions in times of crisis.

After the defensive measures were removed, the mysterious illusion became more severe.

A mysterious history, like a picture scroll, slowly unfolded in his mind...

…

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Hello, friends and fellow citizens."

"The Eighth Era is about to end, and those terrifying beings are about to appear in the world."

Lu Yuan heard a solemn and majestic voice.

"If we don't think of a solution, we will be destroyed in the great disaster of the era."

"Although our Green Civilization is full of talented people, it cannot compare with those most powerful civilizations."

"If we want to escape the epochal disaster, the best way is to create a god who can protect us. I name it the God of Greenery."

This is a very spacious room, like a huge room wrapped in bubbles, like a dream, surrounded by rainbows, birds singing and flowers blooming, it is extremely pleasant.

Around a large round table, hundreds of green people with different looks and gorgeous clothes were holding a meeting.

They have different appearances, some look lazy, some have no expression, and some look sleepy.

But they have one thing in common, whether they are men or women, they all look very beautiful.

When they heard the name "God of Green", these people couldn't help but be shocked, and they all looked at the high priest who had lived for who knows how long.

"But, High Priest, how do you create a god?"

The high priest said calmly, "We used the power of the poppy tree to create the virtual space, Green Paradise, which has been around for three thousand years. In the long-term practice, what do you think of Green Paradise?"

"After three thousand years of development, it is approaching perfection." A male Greenlander with wrinkles on his face said with a smile, "Except for the inability to truly reproduce souls, Greenland Paradise can do almost everything that can be done in reality. What cannot be done in reality, Greenland Paradise can also do."

Lu Yuan was shocked.

He finally understood that this huge room wrapped in bubbles was actually a virtual space! Many green people discussed it.

"Many young people are addicted to the green paradise and are unwilling to return to reality."

"Many scholars are trying to develop anti-addiction mechanisms."

"Many parents resist their children from using the green playground, but they themselves enjoy it very much in private."

Listening to everyone's description, we can come to a magical conclusion: Green Paradise, a super-large Internet created with the help of the powerful ability of the [Demon·Poppy Tree], is also a virtual world.

It is much more powerful than the traditional Internet. It can even realize various sci-fi functions such as soul uploading and consciousness uploading! Lu Yuan, who was in the illusion, looked at the surrounding scene. He couldn't tell whether it was virtual or an illusion.

The civilization where the old cat lives escaped the disaster through "silicon-based transformation", while the green civilization escaped through "consciousness uploading".

The two sides have chosen completely different paths, and it is impossible to judge which one is better.

In the virtual green paradise, almost all wishes can be realized. It is a real paradise. The so-called "heaven" is actually like this, which really shocked Lu Yuan.

[Don’t let your imagination run wild… This green paradise still exists. Don’t let it find you, or you’ll die!] The sound of a conch shell came to my ears.

"What?!" Lu Yuan looked at the conch.

Because the conch didn't know what it looked like, it was just a small dot of light beside Lu Yuan.

[Don't move! Green Park is recreating past history. ]

Lu Yuan quickly calmed his mind.

…

In the illusion.

The high priest stopped everyone's discussion and said softly: "Friends, upload our self-consciousness and live forever in the Green Paradise. This is the first step to avoid disaster."

"High Priest, what if a disaster from the outside world destroyed the poppy tree? Wouldn't we all die?" someone else questioned.

The high priest said: "So, there will be a second step. The spirit of our entire civilization, plus the spirit of the poppy tree, is enough to give birth to an extremely powerful being."

"At the same time, we will give all of our divine skills to the new god."

"She will be able to do anything and become a true omnipotent being."

"She is the new carrier of Green Paradise, far more than the existence of the poppy tree, a true god."

"Disasters from the outside world cannot destroy God."

At this point in the discussion, everyone was in an uproar and the conference room was noisy.

How could such a thing exist? How to create it? If this thing can be created, why can't other civilizations in Pangu Continent create it? "Friends, the eighth era is about to be destroyed, the destiny of Pangu Continent is in chaos, and the number of divine skills has increased significantly."

The high priest who possessed the ability of foresight had bright eyes and a resonant voice: "I predict that my civilization will soon give birth to the divine skill of 'following one's wishes'... This ability may not be too strong, but it is extremely rare."

"In the entire Eighth Era, there are no more than three people who possess 'Follow Your Heart'."

"By 'following one's heart', perhaps one can create a true God."

Follow your heart, a very strange and extremely idealistic divine skill!

Its strength lies in its so-called "omnipotence". As long as one firmly believes that he "can do it", he can use the corresponding divine skills.

Of course, they are often weakened versions and cannot compare to the true originals.

Also because this ability is too idealistic, it can only play its greatest role when the person involved is ignorant of the world.

The younger people are, the more they like to fantasize and feel that they can do anything.

The older you get, the more you realize the limits of your abilities, and you slowly lose your wild imagination.

Therefore, throughout history, people with the ability to "do what they want" were indeed magical when they were young.

Once we grow up, our heads are filled with more knowledge, but our abilities drop drastically, and we eventually become like everyone else.

This is also the main reason why Shun Xinyi is regarded as "very rare, but not too strong".

But the high priest of the Green People believes that those who follow their heart have the potential to grow into [God].
