Chapter 796: Undefeated, Never Give Up
The four words "Absolute Ability" struck a chord with everyone present.
The reason why the "Four Great Disasters" stand out among countless visions is because they possess absolute power!
This road is still amazing even from today's perspective.
The fact that so many technological civilizations have yet to develop idealistic technology that surpasses "absolute ability" proves this point.
Lu Yuan expressed his so-called "invincible" philosophy: "To be victorious in every battle, to be able to conquer every attack, to dare to fight and win battles, to be able to defeat powerful enemies, is [invincible]!"
"The more victories you have, the stronger the blessing provided by [Undefeated] will be."
"Not only me, the Greedy Demon God, but all naturally born Demon Gods from now on will possess the power of Invincibility!"
"Can a [Demon] be born naturally in this world?" Miss Conch widened her eyes.
"Theoretically, it is possible. If the 'absolute power' is born, the [Demon] will be a structurally complete vision, but its strength will naturally not be comparable to mine. I am considered the [Myth of the Demon]." Lu Yuan said with some pride.
After thinking for a while, everyone felt that Lu Yuan's approach had a low success rate.
"This concept is too big for you to grasp."
"[Undefeated] is exclusive. While growing stronger with each battle is certainly impressive, there can only be one [Undefeated] in the world. How do you resolve this logical flaw?"
Lu Yuan endured for a moment. When two [Demons] met, if the winner was decided, wouldn’t the concept of [invincibility] be broken?
The old cat's whiskers trembled as he grumbled, "Besides, it's not like you haven't lost a battle yourself..."
"I clearly remember that after you were killed by [Monster Spirit Eye], the old wolf enjoyed your large intestine with great relish."
"That was a big defeat."
That was such a long time ago, Lu Yuan felt a little embarrassed.
The old cat continued, "And you often lose battles in the fields of Artisan University and scientific research."
"How can anyone be invincible? Can you always win at games, cards, or mahjong?"
"In daily life, if you show even the slightest sign of defeat, the concept of invincibility will weaken."
"Even now that you've told us this plan, it's even more difficult to materialize this ability..."
Lu Yuan said stubbornly, "Lu Yuan is Lu Yuan, and the [Greedy Demon] is the [Greedy Demon]. What does Lu Yuan's defeat have to do with the Greedy Demon?"
His cutting remarks made everyone laugh.
"You, the Greedy Demon God, were also beaten to a pulp by the Snake-Man Ghost. Everyone in the city saw it," said the old cat, speechless. "Even if you're stronger than the Snake-Man Ghost now, you're still under pressure from powerful figures like Pangu and Boziman's Brain. So this ability really has a big flaw."
The so-called conceptual ability is nine true and one false.
That lie is the most crucial one. You have to fool the world before the lie can become true.
If everyone in the world thinks it is a lie, no matter how eloquently you speak, it will be in vain.
"But I think this 'unbeatable' ability is a good match." Lu Yuan told himself that it was a good match. "To be fair, I won most of the tough battles, and I didn't mind losing the few that were insignificant."
"Now I want to discuss with you the remedy for the logical flaw..."
"Your life is indeed quite successful, but that so-called success is the reputation of Grand Master Craftsman Lu Yuan." Gui Guzi said, shaking his head. "If I had known this would happen, I would have spread the name of the [Greedy Demon God] to greatly contribute to the formation of 'Invincible'."
Lu Yuan also secretly regretted it. It was a pity that he didn't know about "conceptual ability" at the time.
On the other hand, at that time, we were weak, so how could we dare to spread our name around?
Everyone poured cold water on Lu Yuan, lowering his expectations. At the same time, they racked their brains to think about it.
Suddenly, Kameyako clapped his hands and came up with a good idea: "I think there are two interpretations of the so-called 'unbeatable'."
"The first one is just as you imagine it, invincible and unstoppable. The more victories you get, the stronger you become."
"But if you're too rigid, you'll easily break. This method has difficult-to-solve logical flaws. If you fail, it's all over."
"The enemy is no fool. Once it knows you can't accept failure, it will deliberately give you a little setback. What will you do then? There are too many things in this world that you can't solve."
"So the second interpretation could be 'fight again and again despite repeated defeats', continuing to fight until victory. As long as you never admit defeat, you are also considered 'undefeated'."
"Methodologically, this interpretation allows you to fail, but you just have to pick yourself up again."
Lu Yuan's pupils suddenly dilated.
Guiguzi shook his round head twice. "It's even possible not to win, because the pursuit of victory is a long-term process, lasting until the last moment of life. As long as you're not dead, you haven't lost."
Lu Yuan jumped up from his seat with a "whoosh", his hair stood on end with excitement, and his mind was thinking furiously!
These old turtles are really cunning. They can actually come up with such a theory that is similar to "sophistry".
But the second interpretation is indeed more in line with the logic of reality, the expectations of all people, and even more in line with Lu Yuan’s own ideas!
For a full nine eras, major civilizations have been replaced one after another.
The Great Wall was built with flesh and blood, and roars filled the wilderness.
The power of resistance is indeed great, for the sake of... a small yet great wish.
We just want to survive!!
But in the end, there were mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, and nothing was left.
Even the peak civilization has changed several times.
How cruel!
Saving the Pangaea requires many generations of civilizations to take over and endure failure again and again.
Many civilizations escaped.
However, many civilizations have made silent contributions.
The Kamé civilization still has people stationed in [Boundless], and the Houtu civilization still has members resisting on the moon. The footsteps of aliens are all over the continent.
Those heartbeats that transcend language may be hidden in the mystery of life.
Never give up, that’s the real invincibility!
"Undefeated, never give up...Okay, okay!"
"This is my absolute ability!"
As this concept suddenly became clear to him, Lu Yuan felt subtle changes in his body and mind.
It seems as if the momentum of the entire world is converging towards him.
Time is unforgiving, but people also create time.
This absolute ability does not need to deceive sentient beings through "conceptual ability" at all, because countless historical stories have proved this.
"Now, it's time to end it."
The development of history is like countless rushing rivers, and at this moment, all the rivers converge into one point - we have been lying dormant until now just for the final victory!
Lu Yuan felt the arrival of this force and issued instructions to the [Brain in the Mirror], asking it to deduce with all its strength along the line of thought that "failure is the best nourishment for victory"!
"If [Invincibility] is combined with the general trend of the times, the power of the [Demon of Greed] will increase in direct proportion to the resolve of all living beings to resist."
The turtles laughed and said, "Don't worry, in this era, there is no turning back, we can only move forward!"
After discussing this, the atmosphere in the Fairy Palace became more relaxed. Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the mood was pretty good.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan looked up the other "absolute abilities" given by the [Brain in the Mirror].
Except for "Undefeated", the others are slightly less impressive, but they also have their merits.
"I will share this information so that many civilizations can study it together."
"That's great. Your [Mirror Brain] is at the forefront of intelligence technology."
For example, a pretty good ability: "[Silence]: Information exchange is strictly prohibited within a certain area."
"It creates a restraining relationship on conceptual ability."
"It may take 50-70 units of Xuanhuang Qi as research and development expenses..."
This thing sounds pretty good. The use of "conceptual ability" requires information transmission, and [Silence] is not just about not letting people speak, but completely depriving them of perception. It is definitely powerful.
However, the price of 50-70 units of Xuanhuang Qi is not low.
Furthermore, in addition to its conceptual abilities, [God] itself was also quite powerful. Could [Bu Yu] really defeat the opponent? Lu Yuan wasn't sure.
"Can't you have more than one Absolute Ability?" Miss Conch asked. "One [Silence], plus the [Invincibility] you're currently deducing, plus your own strength, should be enough, right?"
"It's difficult. [Absolute Ability] means giving others the first impression." Lu Yuan sighed, "Like [Ghost], the first impression given to people is that it is immortal."
"The first impression [Demon] gives people is that they possess other people's bodies."
"It's difficult to have two first impressions. So even if there are two absolute abilities, the first impression takes precedence. The second impression will be much weaker."
"If I could really have multiple absolute abilities, I'd just copy [Immortality] and [Possession]..."
The next "absolute ability" is "indestructibility".
These two words don't sound domineering enough. Lu Yuan actually feels a little disgusted. Wouldn't it be a lower-level ability of "Immortality"?
But judging by the introduction, it seems to be just so-so.
[Indestructible: Temporarily increases the body's strength to the level of neutron star material, making it almost absolutely indestructible.]
[It is estimated that 20-30 units of Xuanhuang Qi, a small piece of neutron star material, and a long period of deduction time by the mirror brain will be required.]
In Lu Yuan's opinion, the cost-effectiveness of "Indestructible" is higher than that of "Silent", which is equivalent to a high-intensity warrior, while "Silent" is a silence warlock.
"Why don't we just research and develop them together?" Old Cat said. "...Speaking of which, your [Mirror Brain] is so powerful that you can develop new abilities just by investing Xuan Huang Qi. That's really exaggerated."
"Comrade, this is Xuanhuang Qi, what are you talking about?" Lu Yuan's face was a little distorted.
In comparison, he simply likes to be "undefeated" - I am already "undefeated", so why should I be "silent" or "undestroyed"?
The next ability is even weirder, called "Doomsday".
[Doomsday: Spread the image of the 'Messenger of Doom', symbolizing the existence of the destruction of the world. Under the Doomsday Judgment, everything turns to ashes and returns to nothingness.]
[Doomsday is a higher-level ability of [Gangfeng], and the research and development cost is 5-10 units of Xuanhuang Qi.]
This R&D expenditure is actually acceptable, but it also requires the use of conceptual capabilities, and it is the kind that tends to be intimidating.
When people see the [Greedy Demon], they instinctively think of "the end of the world", which is considered to be in competition with the concept of [God].
[Gangfeng] burns the soul and lifespan, but the ability [Doomsday] actually burns the Xuanhuang Qi!
When Lu Yuan read these introductions, his heart sank. My goodness, why does the [Mirror Brain] think about consuming the most precious idealistic energy all day long?
But you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want both high intensity and rapid R&D, you can only take shortcuts.
In the end, Lu Yuan was still reluctant to consume a large amount of Xuanhuang Qi. The research of [Invincibility] actually required a lot of effort and would take a long time.
He planned to hand over the information to Green City and learn new technology at the same time.
Things like [Pangu's Hand] and various powerful weapons can actually provide good reference.
No matter how powerful the [Mirror Brain] is, it is just a hundred tireless grandmasters with accelerated thinking. The common people are the main force of scientific and technological development.
"Come on, world!"
…
…
The Western Continent, as one of the poles of Pangaea, occupies nearly 20% of the land area.
The legendary [Boundless] is located right above the western continent, like an invisible transparent ribbon covering the entire sky. Normally, it is invisible and intangible, but recently it has been discovered that it is like a thin layer of plastic film with a few wrinkles - this is very unusual and may be a sign that the Boundless is broken!
As the first place to fall in the Eighth Era, the Western Continent may be home to the minions of God. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a den of dragons and tigers.
However, the major alliances still dare not give up this place easily, because giving up any corner may lead to the weakening of the world's will, which is not conducive to future wars.
"The compilation of the Encyclopedia of Civilization on the Western Continent is not going smoothly... The cooperation among the major civilizations is not high, and there is a sense of hypocrisy."
"They are generally unwilling to connect to the [Etheric Spirit Network]."
"The construction of the defense project is also not going smoothly. The protection of the world's will is relatively weak in this area... If some civilization secretly sabotages it, it will be difficult for us to defend ourselves."
"Unbounded gravitational fluctuations are chaotic...it may not last long."
The coalition forces dispatched a total of 32 million troops to station on the edge of the Western Continent, which was a huge expense.
The space tunnel has also been completely dug through.
But such a large army distributed over such a vast area is still a drop in the bucket.
Green City sent Lu Ying, a lieutenant general with practical experience, an army of nearly 42,000, and a medium-level battle fortress.
"The Western Continent is a fierce place with frequent wars. Some wars have lasted for five hundred years, making it difficult for us to mediate."
When Lu Ying saw these reports, he was quite worried. The situation was deteriorating faster than he had imagined, and there was never enough time.
