Chapter 749: Acquired Myth!
[Future Mirror] The aura flows like a living thing, and a magnificent shadow appears behind it!
This phantom is condensed from the joys and sorrows, life and death of Green City. It is as high as 100,000 meters, piercing the sky. The roar of water can be heard faintly. The [Future Mirror] has actually intercepted the endless flow of history and cut off this "historical tidal energy" that has been difficult to use since ancient times.
For a moment, countless pairs of eyes fell silent, their brains rusted, as if petrified.
"Is this the embodiment of idealism?" a craftsman muttered to himself. "Is the so-called long river of history really just a river?"
"No, it's just making the abstract concrete."
"And this mirror isn't actually resurrected from the dead..." Craftsman Guo offered an explanation. "It's probably because the wood itself contains a hint of life, and coupled with a sudden change in luck, it's why leaves suddenly sprouted."
When everyone heard this explanation, they nodded in agreement.
When the old cat heard their conversation, it couldn't help but "meow". It was obvious that Lu Yuan had upgraded the mirror with the help of 0.22 units of Xuanhuang Qi - well, intelligent life really can't imagine things it has not seen. The existence of "Xuanhuang Qi" is too obscure, even the advanced civilizations in the past were not very clear about it.
However, no one really saw through Lu Yuan's scam.
Even the craftsmen from Green City were delighted.
"Mythical level, done!"
"Yeah, we have mythical equipment too."
They were closest to the [Future Mirror] and could deeply feel the flow of its destiny.
This fortune not only comes from Green City, but also from every corner of Pangu Continent. It is an unstoppable trend.
What's more, they felt the "luck" of the entire world, which is a talent that only higher-level master craftsmen can possess!
This is a personal opportunity that comes once in a thousand years.
Follow the will of heaven and respond to the needs of people. Only by moving in accordance with the times can they achieve twice the result with half the effort. From now on, their craftsmanship will go one step further.
"Congratulations everyone, you are now a Grand Master Craftsman personally recognized by Pangu Continent. In my Buzhou Alliance, you will enjoy the treatment of an SSS-level talent."
Several leaders including Guiwu and Tianlu sent their congratulations in a timely manner.
Being recognized by Pangu Continent means that through identification ability, one can observe the title of "Grand Master Craftsman".
After everyone evaluated each other for a while, there were a total of 3 people with the label of "Grand Master Craftsman", 4 people including Lu Yuan.
The rest who did not have the title of "Grand Master" also had an introduction that said "Jointly created the mythical [Masterpiece of the Era]".
Everyone was in a happy mood and began to be humble to each other.
…
At this moment, Lu Yuan fell into a mysterious state.
The beliefs of countless people are intertwined, like tough spider silk, which cannot be cut or untangled.
The beliefs of intelligent life are vague and confusing, but under the "mythical" deception, a strange resonance actually appeared.
So he took the opportunity to write down the concept of "Future Mirror".
"…The sky is too high to be scaled hastily. With diligence, one can reach its summit. Though fate is fixed, one's will can be changed. Spread your wings and soar to the heavens, hanging with the sun."
A mysterious whisper sounded from the bottom of his heart. This was the specific function of the [Future Mirror]: the greater the contribution to civilization, the easier it would be for people to improve their destiny. If one was mediocre, even with the help of the luck of the entire civilization, it would still be difficult for him to become a myth.
In fact, Lu Yuan wanted to create a miracle where "everyone can become a legend"!
He wanted to upgrade all the 15 million people in Green City at once - telling a big lie is a lie, telling a small lie is also a lie, so it’s better to just tell a big one.
But I found that I couldn't do it.
It was as if there was some mysterious force preventing him from fabricating the corresponding concept.
More than 10 million acquired myths are really too exaggerated and violate certain basic laws of idealism!
The hidden obstacles are everywhere and difficult to break through - that is, deep down in their hearts, all living beings do not believe that everyone can ascend.
Moreover, the idealistic energy required for acquired mythology is so huge that even an idealistic perpetual motion machine of the level of historical tides cannot support it.
Therefore, we had to settle for the second best and created the current "concept".
It’s true that this is quite consistent with current moral concepts and will not cause too much of a problem: “the problem is not poverty but inequality.”
"Okay, now the function of the future mirror is basically complete."
Lu Yuan's mentality calmed down instead, and he himself no longer had the ability to improve.
The space in the mirror is still as foggy as before, and a magnificent "river" composed of white clouds flows past.
Above the river, there is a rainbow and rosy clouds. It is the embodiment of the river of history and the river of destiny of the eighteen human civilizations. There are also faint traces of the Blue Peng civilization, the Northern Alliance, and a small number of destiny branches of the Northern Alliance.
As long as you soak in this river, your destiny will be sublimated.
The more contributions you make to the entire civilization, the greater the rewards of good fortune will be.
After being sublimated to the extreme, it will be bounced back into the mirror world.
As soon as Lu Yuan touched the river, most of the clouds and mist rushed over with a rumble. The overwhelming scene directly wrapped him up like a ball of cotton candy.
"There's no need for me to upgrade to an acquired myth. These things are useless to me."
"But we still have to do this symbolic work... If I could achieve a day-after-life myth in just a few hours, it would probably scare everyone. Let's just wait here for a while."
Lu Yuan closed his eyes and simply lay down by the river and fell asleep.
He felt relaxed and slept on the cotton candy-like cloud bed. Soon he fell into a deep dream.
…
Lu Yuan had no worries at all, but the people outside were furious!
As the concept was being compiled, a sudden flash of light occurred.
【Mythology·Future Mirror】
[Forged collectively by craftsmen from eighteen human civilizations, it possesses the immense power to elevate destiny.]
[Luck and luck, like the life of a tree. Even if the wind destroys its branches, it will not change its chastity.]
My heart is like a sharp blade. It is tempered a hundred times until it becomes steel, and its edge is revealed.
The results of this appraisal are vague, and even the detailed introduction of "Destiny Upgrade" no longer exists.
But the two big words "myth" still caused a small sensation.
"The results of the myth's appraisal are finally out."
"Why is this mirror so motionless and unresponsive?"
"Why rush? Even if you can be promoted to a post-natal myth, it will take at least ten days or half a month, right?"
This tumultuous scene resembled the ultimate showdown between the Buzhou Alliance and Neutrino Industries. To maintain his dignity, Yanri, the craftsman of the Xingyao Civilization, said nothing and even congratulated humanity: "This is the first time we've seen the birth of a mythical being. Congratulations."
Instead, a group of younger brothers who had just joined the group began to question: "Does the mirror's overall score surpass that of the spirit particle robot?"
"Isn't it a little early for the celebration?"
Li Datie and others in the venue were also unable to answer.
Now that the work has been forged, the strong excitement has dissipated, and what follows is a deep fatigue, and... the feeling of being completely hollowed out.
These three months of hard work have really made people feel empty and drained of their brains. Without years or even decades of rest, it would be difficult to have any great inspiration.
"Everyone, don't worry about the results. Take a break first. Take a nap!" Li Datie waved his hand.
"Teacher Li, how can we sleep? Everyone wants to see the results!" A Lanpeng craftsman stared at him with those bird eyes.
"What do you think? Can the Great Commander become a legend?"
"Of course I can!" Li Datie said firmly.
After a while, the judges took out a bunch of measuring instruments and started judging and scoring.
"Master Li, the competition this time is fierce." Gui Wu paused and whispered, "Even a masterpiece like this doesn't guarantee first place... You must be mentally prepared."
Human craftsmen are immersed in creation and are unaware of changes in the outside world.
When I heard about the emergence of such a groundbreaking product as the "Spiritual Idealistic Robot", I was indeed shocked for a while.
Li Datie scratched his head. "Can we play like this? Online, productive?"
"After our evaluation, the robot's functionality was actually quite poor, and it was deducted a lot of points. However, in terms of historical influence, scalability, and cost control, it was almost fully scored."
"Everything must be done according to the rules. We will not show partiality." Guiwu said seriously.
"Of course." Craftsman Li nodded.
Another judge, Tianlu, said, "Your mirror is obviously inferior to the other party in terms of scalability and cost control."
Li Datie immediately became anxious: "This is just the initial stage of creation, and the cost is indeed high. But now, a brand new idealistic rule has been created in the form of mythology, and there is definitely room for cost reduction in the future!"
"You have a point, but no one can predict the future. That's why the assessment scores are calculated based on 'now'. It's impossible to estimate the cost based on generations of improvements."
Gui Wu said: "Of course, as long as your mirror is powerful enough and has a great influence, these are not a problem..."
His voice dropped. "As long as 'The Day After Tomorrow's Mythology' succeeds, everything will be fine. All the glory will belong to you."
"If it's just someone with high-level bloodline abilities, then... he's still a step behind..."
“Everyone’s just focused on number one.”
“Even in the long river of history, only the first place is recorded.”
Li Datie took a deep breath and said, "I understand!"
"But...we have confidence!"
…
This is really an anxious moment. All civilizations have been waiting for half a month. The various repeated public opinions are indeed an unprecedented sensation.
On the morning of this day, the future mirror finally underwent subtle changes.
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of a rushing river, the mirror first trembled slightly, and then the entire mirror surface burst into brilliant light!
"It's out!" The human craftsman who had been guarding near the mirror couldn't help but feel his heart beating wildly and held his breath.
Suddenly, ripples appeared on the mirror surface, like water surface shattered by a stone.
The ripples spread silently and even spread into the space, spreading outward like a spider web. The entire cave in the pot showed signs of instability!
The judges who had been waiting were in a hurry. At their age, they were rarely as excited as they were now.
"Quick, move the mirror to the outside world! Mr. Gu Chong, please help me!"
Only ancient insects can easily carry such a huge object.
The two forelimbs of the ancient insect were like mechanical claws. With a "hum", it grabbed the mirror frame and dragged it out of the cave in the pot. This scene made the human craftsmen grimace and said, "Emperor of the Zerg, be gentle!"
As a result, when they were halfway through the transportation, a yellow-skinned hand broke through the mirror and drilled out from inside!
Next came the head, with black hair like a waterfall and eyes as bright as stars.
His facial features were almost identical to Lu Yuan's, and the sun in the sky was reflected in his pupils.
When Lu Yuan, in giant form, emerged from the mirror, the ancient insect was flapping its wings to fly, but suddenly found a small giant on its back, causing its body to be tilted.
"Fuck you, youngster! How dare you ride the Zerg Emperor like a horse when you have no moral integrity?" The ancient insect grumbled, but he knew he couldn't beat Lu Yuan, so he couldn't get angry. "Hurry up and get out of here! There's a bunch of people waiting for you. They're almost swearing."
[No, what are you doing? Isn't Greedy Demon God good enough? What's the point of this acquired myth?]
"You know nothing."
Lu Yuan grabbed the [Future Mirror] and took a look. Seeing that there was no damage, he couldn't help but chuckle. The foul air exhaled from his chest condensed into white mist on the mirror surface.
The real air was trembling slightly due to the sun.
Success!
He suddenly stood up from the insect's back and loudly announced to all the creatures on Pangu Continent: "I, Lu Yuan, have become an acquired legend!"
The sound turned into an ultrasonic wave, spreading rapidly in all directions!
…
"Done?!"
“It really worked!”
"The first acquired myth of the Ninth Epoch! Has such a feat ever occurred before?"
"In the past...acquired myths could be created through blood sacrifices, but something like this...could be the first time in history!"
Few doubt this...
Green City had already been plunged into a frenzy. Fifteen million people in the city, some roared with excitement, others burst into tears, and some collapsed on the ground...
This is a real carnival!
It resonates with countless people!
Although the civilizations on the Buzhou Alliance side also have envy, jealousy and hatred, this time the human craftsmen are too outstanding. After this battle, they will become the only civilization in the alliance - an acquired myth. All civilizations have to beg them, because this "Future Mirror" is too idealistic, with too many unfathomable details, and it is difficult to copy!
But no matter what, the Buzhou Alliance is mostly grateful and proud. On the ideological level, they have overwhelmed the challenger, the Neutrino Industrial Alliance!
On the other hand, the Xingyao Civilization also looked at the giant in disbelief.
"It really worked..." The leading craftsman, Yanri, sighed softly.
In fact, he had made some psychological preparations and gradually let it go.
"That's fine... the Buzhou Alliance is still powerful. But we've already achieved our goal. The promotion of the Etheric Spirit Network is the trend of the times."
Except for a few insiders.
For example, the old cat, the conch, and the strange people in the fairy palace.
The old cat was speechless. "I finally understand why the fewer people who know about this, the better. I don't feel any empathy at all now. Instead, I find it a little funny. My God, an innate myth is imitating itself as an acquired myth, fooling everyone."
"Mr. Old Cat, you can't think like that."
"What if the concept manipulation fails?" Conch said with a smile, "There's a book called 'The Three-Body Problem' from Earth's time. At the end, an advanced civilization wants to restart the universe, but it fails because the heroine retains 5 kilograms of matter."
“It seems our current situation is similar.”
"What should we do? We already know..." The old cat rolled his eyes.
…
At this moment when everyone is paying attention, Lu Yuan is actually a little confused about what is true and what is false, with countless discussions lingering in his ears.
These discussions were all part of the process of forming the "concept". The interweaving of countless thoughts and ideas made his mind begin to blur.
The use of "conceptual ability" is complex and abstract, allowing him to faintly hear whispers.
At this moment, his vision suddenly went dark and he entered a more idealistic world.
First of all, time seemed to freeze all of a sudden, and even the ancient insect under his feet that was about to get angry stopped moving.
Then there was the sudden drop in temperature, a feeling he'd never forget... a torrent of ice! His entire body felt like it was being gripped by an icy claw! His heart nearly stopped, and he felt the cold from his neck to the soles of his feet!
"What is this place...a world of concepts?!"
Lu Yuan noticed that the color of the desert ahead had also changed. The originally golden sand dunes had turned into a turbid, dark black. It was difficult to see farther away, and the color became lighter the closer to the sun. Facing away from the sun, it was a turbid, endless darkness...
The surrounding space is dotted with endless stars, some far away and some near, like fireflies.
But at this time, Lu Yuan had no time to appreciate it. He knew that life could not exist here - his soul was sending a warning.
"Have I entered a world of purely idealistic concepts?"
As a result, when Lu Yuan turned around, he saw a scene that he would never forget...
The desert was originally spread flat on the ground, but it suddenly became vertical like a movie screen that went straight to the sky and the earth!
The tiny dots of firefly light extended densely downwards until they became infinitesimally small.
Straight to the endless abyss!
Lu Yuan's hair stood on end!
He saw two black eye sockets in the abyss. It was a head, and now he was standing on the head.
At that moment, his heart seemed to have really stopped, and the world seemed to be upside down. He didn't know which direction the real world should be in!
The endless darkness beneath one's feet made one both afraid to look and unable to look away. This astonishing scene was accompanied by the deathly silence underwater...
"Is that... the remains of Pangu?"
Lu Yuan had a flash of enlightenment in his mind.
"So...so that's how it is. The claim that Pangu created the world is true...his body is a world, and his mind is also a world."
"And this place should be the conceptual world hidden in a higher dimension, right?"
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and bowed slightly to the head.
"If I forcefully create concepts, will I definitely end up here? According to that theory, wouldn't I encounter a God? And what is a God? Did it steal Pangu's abilities? Or is it a naturally born monster?"
The answers to these questions remain unknown.
As soon as I opened my eyes, the air became scorching hot again.
He is back.
Hear loud cheers and applause.
This encounter was truly bizarre, and he was getting closer and closer to the truth of the epochal disaster.
However, there is no need to take too much responsibility at the moment. The disaster of the era is not something he can solve alone. Only when many civilizations work together can a true miracle be born.
