Chen Ping's gaze shifted to the void, as if it could penetrate everything and reach the core of the survival game consciousness. "Survival game consciousness, I have some questions for you."
His voice carried a hint of seriousness and respect; after all, even though he now possessed power beyond the awareness of survival games, the other party was still an indispensable part of his growth path.
The Survival Game's consciousness responded swiftly and directly, as if it had been waiting for Chen Ping's questions. "Please speak, Chen Ping. As a saint, you are qualified to know more about the truth of the Survival Game."
Chen Ping first asked, "What exactly is the purpose of survival games? Why did you choose those worlds that are about to perish and bring life from them into the game?"
The Survival Game consciousness remained silent for a moment, then slowly replied: "The Survival Game exists to maintain the balance of the universe."
Every world has its life cycle. When a world comes to an end and the flame of life is about to be extinguished, the survival game will intervene.
Our goal is to give those lives a second chance, and also to collect the essence of those worlds to nourish the survival game world itself.
Chen Ping nodded and continued to press, "Then, what about the Abyss? What is it? Why would it pose a threat to the survival game?"
This question weighed heavily on the voice of the survival game consciousness. "The Abyss is an unknown force in the universe, existing at the edge of all worlds, attempting to erode and destroy."
Its essence may be the concentrated manifestation of negative energy in the universe, or the opposite of life and death. It constantly seeks opportunities to infiltrate the survival game through various means, attempting to disrupt its balance.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping frowned and asked, "Then why would the existence beneath the abyss be interesting? According to you, the abyss should just be a kind of instinctive power, right?"
Survival Game Consciousness: "The Abyss itself has existences similar to me, but the Abyss in the Survival Game is not a real Abyss, but a place similar to the Abyss created after the Survival Game has devoured too many worlds."
The worlds that the survival game devours are all worlds on the verge of destruction. Many of these worlds themselves harbor some kind of evil or malevolent intent. After I devour them, this evil or malevolent intent becomes completely useless, or even harmful.
So I imitated the Abyss, creating a place similar to its environment to house my evil and wicked thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping asked in confusion, "Then why are there still people living in the abyss? According to you, even though the abyss you created is fake, it's not suitable for human habitation, right?"
Survival Game Consciousness: "Yes, indeed, life exists in the abyss because some worlds have been affected by it. After I devour the life in those worlds, I will place them in the abyss."
That's why those people exist in the abyss.
......
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping stroked his chin, thinking that it made sense. Then he asked in confusion, "What about Cthulhu in the abyss?"
"How come there's an outer god merging with evil thoughts and malevolent intentions? With that power, pfft, even after the fusion, you probably couldn't beat him, right? He's almost at the peak of Quasi-Saint level!"
The voice of the survival game consciousness carried a hint of helplessness: "The existence of Cthulhu is indeed a variable that I did not anticipate."
It was originally a mythical creature from a world that had been devoured, possessing immense power and influence.
During the destruction of that world, a portion of its consciousness and power was carried into the survival game world, eventually finding refuge in the abyss.
"The evil and wicked thoughts in the abyss provided fertile ground for Cthulhu, allowing it to continue to survive and thrive in a distorted state."
As time passed, it began to attempt to merge with the evil within the abyss, striving to regain and even surpass its original power.
"As for the issue of strength you mentioned, it is true. Once Cthulhu fully merges with the evil in the abyss, its strength will reach a terrifying level, and it may even surpass me, becoming a major threat in the survival game world."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping frowned. Clearly, such a potential threat would have worried him in the past, but now he was fearless.
He pondered for a moment, then asked, "How can we prevent this from happening? Is there any way to eliminate the evil in the abyss, or at least prevent Cthulhu from merging with them?"
Should I go down and kill them directly?
The voice of the survival game consciousness rang out again, and it said somewhat nervously, "No, no, no, the key to preventing Cthulhu from merging with evil lies in purifying the abyss, not in killing it directly."
Purifying the abyss requires a powerful positive energy capable of resisting evil and even transforming it into beneficial forces. And you, Chen Ping, as a saint, possess such power.
Your saintly power is one of the purest and most positive energies in the universe; theoretically, it is capable of doing this.
"However, purifying the abyss is not an easy task. It requires immense patience and wisdom, because you not only have to fight against the evil within the abyss, but also ensure that you do not harm those innocent lives, who are also trapped within it, waiting to be rescued."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping shook his head slightly and said, "The power of a sage isn't pure and positive energy, is it? Once you reach the realm of a sage, whose abilities don't become the power of a sage?"
Survival Game Awareness: "Yes, that's for sure. But your Saintly Power is an advancement from magic power, and magic power itself can suppress evil and wicked thoughts. Therefore, your Saintly Power can completely purify or destroy the beings beneath the abyss."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded in agreement. Indeed, magical power was far more effective against evil spirits. Just look at Uncle Nine; magical power could inflict damage many times over on any demon or monster.
Chen Ping: "So, according to you, it really is me who's indispensable?"
Survival Game Consciousness: "That's right, now you're the only one with the ability to save the survival game world, and the fusion of Cthulhu and evil thoughts beneath the abyss is almost complete."
Cthulhu's power is now equal to mine. If this weren't my world, I wouldn't even be able to seal him away.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go down there now. After all, after understanding your work, it's as if you saved my life. Consider it repayment for saving my life."
Furthermore, if it weren't for the survival game that granted him power, and other reasons, Chen Ping wouldn't even have been able to reach the level of a saint.
