Chapter 786 God's Weakness
The illusion of history continues.
When they heard that the lifespan of the last member of the Tower Top Civilization was about to end, not only the Turtle People, but almost all the leaders of the civilizations showed sad expressions. In just ten years, the Tower Top Civilization had become the pillar in their hearts.
Once they left, these civilizations became like headless flies.
"Our technology is still at the information age. We... don't understand anything..."
The light ball said calmly: "The path of materialism is different from that of idealism. You just need to develop yourself, follow the steps, take one step at a time, and put in the effort. You will eventually reap the rewards."
[I will find a way to complete the construction of the first phase of the blood sacrifice seal within the next month.]
[However, subsequent maintenance and reinforcement from generation to generation can only rely on you. ]
[My time in this world is indeed running out, and once I leave, it will be difficult to return. However, I will continue to follow you from the other side of the distant sea of chaos.]
[Looking across the Sea of Chaos, Pangu Continent is also a relatively special world. The world will still has a lot of room for growth, and it will help you a lot.]
The "World Will" only became active in the Fourth Age.
This phenomenon is very special. Lu Yuan secretly guessed that it was because the world was really about to perish, and "Pangu's Good Will" was gradually revived, causing the activity of the world's will to increase significantly.
The light ball spoke a lot in one breath: "To reduce your survival pressure, I can issue a rule: By the end of the era, any Level 5 civilization capable of leaving can do so directly, leaving behind only a sufficient legacy. There's no need to fight to the last man."
The leader of the Kame civilization was somewhat puzzled: "Letting a powerful civilization leave? Wouldn't that mean we'll repeat the mistakes of the Fourth Era?"
The light ball deduced the future trend: [Yes, but no. To resolve the epochal disaster, it will require the efforts of multiple epochs. The key is to seal the blood sacrifice rules.]
[As long as the blood sacrifice is sealed, wars between civilizations will be greatly reduced, and the increase in species diversity will be able to enhance the spiritual wisdom of the world's will.]
[As the world's will grows, the pull of idealism will increase. With each epoch, new civilizations from the subordinate planes will be attracted.]
【As long as the torch is passed down from generation to generation, there will always be a day of victory.】
In fact, Kame Bunmei had no idea of the subtext, nor did he know that there was such a terrifying enemy as "God".
What they don’t know is that the Tower Top Civilization actually focuses on the cultivation of “world will”.
[God] is too powerful. These current rotten fish and shrimp civilizations have no possibility of defeating him at all - what's more, when they are weak, they cannot recognize [God], otherwise they will be mentally imprinted.
These civilizations fled at the end of the era, which actually reduced the nourishment of the Gods.
As for the weak civilizations that were sacrificed in the disaster, it was not a big problem... because the rules of blood sacrifice were sealed, and the idealistic energy brought about by the death of these civilizations had been reduced to a minimum.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "If this world wants to continue, it must use extraordinary means..."
"The Towertop Civilization is doing the right thing."
…
Then, the picture flashed again.
The Fifth Age passed quietly, and although it still caused great suffering to the people at the end, it did leave a rich legacy for the Sixth Age.
…
The Sixth Age, above the moon.
Information about this era was very scarce. It was Lu Yuan's first time to come to the huge moon. He couldn't help but open his eyes wide and witness everything around him.
The huge silver-gray dome is like the armor left behind by a god, coldly embedded in the barren lunar soil.
This was the city called "Tranquility Sea Dew," the largest city on the near side of the moon. The artificial atmosphere exuded a faint, fresh scent, like the scent of earth after rain, a trace of the filtered air from the circulation system.
The streets are lined with not the common green plants of Pangaea, but crystalline plants that emit a soft blue-purple light. They absorb artificial daylight and provide additional lighting and oxygen for the city.
Outside the dome is an eternally peaceful sea of chaos with twinkling stars.
On the black sky, the huge Pangaea continent with blue and white stripes floats quietly near the moon, emitting an awe-inspiring and overwhelming light.
After two eras of accumulation, the peak civilization, the Thick Earth Civilization, already has the ability to challenge the [God]!
This time, Lu Yuan appeared in the illusion following a stone man.
This stone man is the [Jade] of the Sixth Age.
"The risks of going to war with them are enormous." The stone man's face looked a little serious. "If we lie dormant for another epoch, our chances of victory will be much greater."
"No, you're wrong."
Standing in front of the stone man is a giant fortress with a diameter of one thousand meters. Its body is made up of four colors: white, blue, red and yellow, and is surrounded by sensors and hundreds of robotic arms.
Level 7 civilization has completed the intermediate-level intellectual transformation and is no longer limited to carbon-based flesh.
This is actually a senior leader of Houtu civilization!
"According to our assessment, the rules and resources of Pangu Continent can only support the birth of a level seven civilization at best."
"So, we are already the most powerful civilization now and in the future!
"But we know nothing about the enemy," the stone man said worriedly, "We only know of his existence, but he has never revealed himself, nor has he ever taken action..."
"Precisely because we know nothing, we're fearless! He can't be much stronger than us," the giant robot said calmly. "Our Houtu civilization has chosen its own philosophy: to be virtuous and broad-minded, as lofty as a mountain and as vast as the ocean. We must shoulder sufficient responsibility to establish a philosophy that aligns with our own."
"Only in this way can our Houtu Civilization advance towards a Level 8 civilization!"
"This war is the first step in our practice."
His voice dropped slightly. "Most of the Level 8 civilizations in the Sea of Chaos have built their own unique philosophical trees. This is how they can maintain their low-entropy state for a long time."
"Only by relying on this philosophical tree, with its blossoming flowers and spreading leaves, can we better cultivate more intelligent individuals. But without a main trunk, no matter how many branches and leaves there are, they are useless."
This passage contains a lot of information. Houtu Civilization has already reached the peak of level seven civilization and can no longer move forward.
Level eight civilization is so difficult, involving the intellectual singularity, it is really hard to imagine.
"But if you lose, what should you do?"
"Even if we lose, we can still build a philosophy tree. We won't be exterminated so easily! Please rest assured!" the other party said firmly.
"Since you put it that way, I won't stop you." The Stone Man sighed. "I just hope you can make some backup plans. Even if you fail, you can still have a chance of survival in the future."
"You can rest assured!"
…
Before Lu Yuan had time to think, the scene changed again, and it was the end of the era again, with mountains and rivers shattered and the continent collapsing.
The Sixth Era was exceptionally brutal, with even the very void splattered with blood.
This time the scene was very blurry, and the specific details were unclear. It slowly calmed down at the end, and there were only contemporary [Jade] and Pangu Brain in the picture.
A heart-wrenching roar echoed in my ears: "Even the Houtu Civilization was defeated! How can we defeat it! Why?!"
This stone man [Yu] was obviously affected by conceptual abilities. After a major failure, a mental imprint was formed in his mind.
He will never have the thought of resisting again in his life.
"It's not that Houtu Civilization lacks combat power, but rather that more Gods and... traitors have appeared in this era," Pangu said coldly. "The Gods have manipulated the entire world, turning nearly half of civilizations into traitors."
"The Houtu Civilization's philosophy must shoulder sufficient responsibility to save the Pangu Continent. Given such a contradiction, how can it possibly remain undefeated?"
“Plus, our opponent was really strong, so we lost.”
The stone man slumped on the ground, looking at the sallow sky. The scarlet clouds looked like crying faces.
Even the moon was occupied, the world was in chaos, the underworld descended, and the peak civilization was extinct.
The future...where to go?
The stone man couldn't help but burst into tears. All his efforts seemed to have turned to dust and were no longer meaningful.
"What are your plans for the future?" After a long moment, he raised his head, revealing a face uglier than tears. "The Seventh Era will eventually appear. We must plan for the future."
"I will become a part of God." Pangu's mind remained as cold as ever. "Only by getting inside can we achieve our goals. Otherwise, there will be no hope."
"You're always so rational. Sometimes I envy you..." The stone man said with a wry smile, "I no longer have the desire to live. I should die in this era and be buried with this land..."
“But I must pass on hope to future generations.”
The stone man punched himself in the chest, and suddenly there was a loud "bang", his heart broke, and he spat out a mouthful of blue blood and growled.
The vision gradually dimmed.
The passage of time slowed down, as if everything around was frozen by a mysterious force.
This is a special divine skill called [Moment], and its specific ability is to "significantly extend one's own time."
This ability sounds very useless and requires a lot of vitality to activate, but it is a time-based ability.
At the moment of death, the stone man activated the ability of [Moment].
There is great terror between life and death, and he wants to preserve a piece of information through the gap between death.
"Listen up, newcomers!"
A muddy voice sounded.
"Although the Sixth Era was defeated, it was a glorious defeat. The Thick Earth Civilization successfully set a trap and trapped the God on the moon."
"The Thick Earth Civilization isn't going extinct that easily! Some of its inhabitants are still surviving on the moon! They can hold on for a very, very long time."
"We've also found information about him... He was once a legendary figure of the [You Clan]..."
"The [You Clan], skilled in soul perception and spatial abilities, was a great clan from the ancient era. After the first epochal disaster, their whereabouts are unknown, and it is suspected that all of them were sacrificed in blood."
This passage of words was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, so soft that even though Lu Yuan concentrated his full attention, he could only hear the general idea.
But the content inside made his hair stand on end.
The specific meaning is: Houtu civilization used the "moon" as bait to trap [God] in an instrument called "Concept Collapser".
The so-called "concept collapser" is an idealistic weapon developed based on philosophical ideas.
[God] constantly strengthens himself through blood sacrifices, which is essentially relying on the idealistic rule of Pangu's evil thoughts of "trying to resurrect".
In the repeated blood sacrifices, the [God] will inevitably be influenced by Pangu's evil way of thinking and will slowly be assimilated by Pangu - unless he truly succeeds in nirvana and surpasses Pangu at the personal level, this change in thinking will be difficult to reverse.
But in fact, [God] is an innate myth of the You clan.
They just discovered the method of infinite Qi and Nirvana in advance and wanted to steal the final fruit.
Therefore, the de facto identity of "You Clan" has formed a philosophical attack weapon that can attack [God] at critical moments.
This explanation sounds quite confusing, so to put it in more common terms: A poor country boy from the You tribe discovered a large, ownerless gold mine. The owner of the gold mine was rich enough to rival a country, but he had already died.
He discovered that as long as he performed blood sacrifices and kept undergoing "plastic surgery" to look exactly like the former billionaire, he would have the possibility of using someone else's body as a substitute.
But as long as someone points out his identity as a poor country boy, then the [God] must kill this person within a short period of time.
Otherwise, his theft would not have been successful.
"...In order for his plan to succeed, he killed all his compatriots!"
"Because his compatriots are also insiders and can reveal his identity at any time. How cruel! He has completely lost his humanity and become a puppet of evil. I don't know whether he is using evil thoughts, or evil thoughts are using him."
"Unfortunately, he didn't anticipate that we would still dig this information out of history... He is the innate myth of the [You Clan]."
This is the last message left by the Stone Man.
Lu Yuan was silent, his head rusty. After a long while, he muttered to himself, "No wonder... the information of the Sixth Epoch was completely lost. Is this the reason?!"
"[God] went crazy trying to erase his past identity... and this actually became a weapon?!"
This kind of idealistic attack was beyond his understanding.
"The identity of the [You Clan]..."
Although this was the first time he encountered this information, he still found it inexplicably funny.
The way this information was preserved was also very special. On the one hand, it relied on the stone man's [Moment] ability, and it was the [Moment] at the moment of death, so the ability was enhanced to the extreme; on the other hand, this piece of [Jade] was preserved near the black hole.
Black holes are unique celestial bodies, transcending traditional materialism and idealism. They are the starting point and end point of the universe. The known laws of the world are not applicable to black holes, and even God cannot see through them!
