Chapter 431: Supercritical Diffraction Sword

"It doesn't look very optimistic," Lin Xian said.

Seeing Chu Yan said, "In terms of abilities, the more we discover, the more questions we have."

"For example?"

"For example, have you ever thought about whether it is a good thing or a bad thing that a crystallized energy carrier has inexplicably grown in the human body?" Ye Lan spoke slowly.

Lin Xian was stunned upon hearing this. It was true; when he heard about this from Vanessa, he indeed had this question.

"Of course, we have no way to objectively judge anything. After all, under the change of abilities, people can grow wings and tentacles, can go to heaven and enter the earth, growing a crystal is indeed nothing. However, in our many crystallization growth experiments, many ability users have experienced visual hallucinations."

"Visual hallucinations?"

Ye Lan clicked a few times on the computer on the table, and then many experimental logs appeared on the desktop. Lin Xian looked at them, and not long after, his brows tightened.

The list of these ability users basically consisted of those who had broken through the 10,000 peak after lattice-ization, indeed achieving the effect of doubling or higher ability peaks as Vanessa said. However, he also noticed the observation logs below each person's information. There, many people who had undergone lattice-ization had experienced strange visual hallucination phenomena in a short period of time. And those reported visual hallucination phenomena were very similar to the scenes Lin Xian saw through the Corpse-Driver after Dawn City. Some came from the dark night, some came from the deep sea, basically all abnormal scene pictures.

What's even stranger is that some of them had very high ability peaks, but... they were alienated.

"How could this be?"

"It's not clear yet," Ye Lan said. "First, lattice-ization has certain risks, and the execution of cultivation corruption toxin is high. Second, we don't know the changes based on ourselves and the subsequent dangers of this power. And before we master the dark energy co-potential conversion technology, self-lattice-ization of Level 3 blood essence is very dangerous. Moreover, once this power is used, it is like exploding a Dark Mark on oneself in the dark night. You should know that at that time, the discovery of Dark Marks had just come out not long ago."

Lin Xian immediately understood the reason for the Phoenix Society's caution.

He thought for a while and still said, "However, using this power is indeed a good way to deal with the darkness."

"Yes, so I asked Seeing Chu Yan to give you a few Level 4 blood essences, which were obtained in Dawn City. However, regarding cultivation, we are combining dark energy co-potential technology to re-transform the plan, and research is still ongoing. If there are good results, I will ask Seeing Chu Yan to synchronize the blueprints directly to you," Ye Lan said at this moment.

"There is one more point." Seeing Chu Yan looked at Lin Xian at this moment and said, "Lattice-ization technology was spread from the Shengcheng organization. We have been investigating the reason, but you told us before that there are traces of the SIID Foundation organization in the Star Abyss No. 13 area..."

Lin Xian realized upon hearing this. No wonder, it turned out that Professor Ye had guessed it long ago.

"Lin Xian." Ye Lan's gaze shifted slightly, and she said to him, "I told you, if the Dark Civilization really targeted you, taking the ocean orbital path won't be so smooth, even if you have the Sky Dome Train."

"I know."

Lin Xian said plainly, "It makes no sense for me to stay in place or follow the Dawn Center. Taking the ocean orbital path is the fastest way."

As he spoke, he smiled and looked at Seeing Chu Yan. "Having said that, we previously assumed that the Foundation organization is an Advent-faction organization that really has contact and communication with the Dark Civilization. Then if this lattice-ization, including the Shengcheng organization, is related to this, then my being targeted doesn't it mean that our deduction is correct? If the Dark Civilization wants to eliminate me, then our deterrence is useful."

Seeing Chu Yan's expression was cold, and she said to Lin Xian, "Didn't you just ask about the South Tianmen? If you combine this, do you think the South Tianmen is still a threat to the Dark Civilization?"

Lin Xian's smile slowly froze on his face.

"That's also true..."

"Is there such a possibility?" Lin Xian took a breath and threw out the idea in his heart. "If the information on the South Tianmen's photovoltaic wing surface didn't come from the Dark Civilization?"

Ye Lan heard Seeing Chu Yan's transmission, then looked in his direction and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Because I think this statement makes no sense. It doesn't look like words spoken by a civilization that has exterminated 99% of humans," Lin Xian said seriously. "Do not resist. Why not resist? And what will happen if you resist? We are already almost extinct. Is there any result worse than this?"

Ye Lan didn't respond, but listened quietly to Lin Xian's thoughts.

"First, the Star Abyss is expanding according to the original 'plan', and humans are running away. From our observation, it was after the Deep Red World carried out some kind of intervention that Star Abyss No. 5, 7, and 8 discovered large-scale mutations. It was after Julius carried out an S-level connection that Anomalies began to besiege Dawn City, and humans fought back."

"Under this premise, war is inevitable. For the Dark Civilization, there is no negotiation process with us humans. Their Dark Tide is night for us, and our sunrise is also night for them. Everyone is in the Dark Forest. As long as we don't have a Dark Mark, we can enter a silent state. This is a game. Humans have gone from the initial panicked escape to gradually finding the opportunity to survive, which is already in a changing process."

"Then what does this 'Do not resist' mean? If it comes from the Dark Civilization, then it has no meaning. Okay, let's assume this civilization is not that boring, or not the kind of communication logic we can't understand, it really has no meaning."

Lin Xian continued to say his thoughts. "But if this information didn't come from the Dark Civilization, this event becomes worth investigating. I believe this must be very important information. Why? First, this information is on the South Tianmen, blocked by the Sky Curtain Giant Screen. Does this mean the two are unrelated? Okay, assume it's not the Dark Civilization, then who is this information for? I've been thinking about this for the past two days, and there might be three situations..."

"First, another civilization, saying it to humans. The logic is very strange, and I think the probability is also very small. If it is, then for us, it means a more desperate disaster."

"Second, another civilization, saying it to the Dark Civilization. This idea is very bold. Why would I say this? Because the communication message is through dark matter particles. Perhaps the Dark Civilization is easier to receive this information than us, and we just happen to have the technology to decipher it. If so, then I think this information is likely the real deterrence to the Dark Civilization! Because I'm thinking, although our human civilization has been hit by the Dark Civilization's dimensional reduction, the universe is not lacking in civilizations. There must be civilizations higher than the Dark Civilization. If you think this way, then the Dark Civilization is likely also prey. This can also explain why humans still survive a part from the outbreak of the Apocalypse Day to now, because I think with the power of the Dark Civilization, if they had researched and investigated human civilization, since it is a dimensional reduction strike, we would not have the chance to resist or struggle, right?"

Seeing Chu Yan nodded upon hearing this. "That's right. We have already discussed this side. On this point, Professor Ye and all leaders have made such judgments."

Ye Lan said at this moment, "The three situations you just mentioned, we have all discussed. In fact, in our view, the first situation is the simplest, and it is also the one that can give us hope. No meaning is exactly the most meaningful. If it is the second or third, even if there is a higher-level civilization behind the Dark Civilization, it is just the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, but we are still at the bottom of the food chain, aren't we?"

"No." Lin Xian said at this moment. "The three situations I mentioned don't include the one initiated by the Dark Civilization."

"Oh?" Ye Lan's brows frowned slightly, looking at Lin Xian. "Then what is the third one you mentioned?"

Seeing Chu Yan also looked at him with a puzzled gaze.

Lin Xian smiled and said casually, "The third situation I mentioned is that there is indeed another civilization, and this information is indeed said to humans, but this information is not malicious, but kind. Do you think there is such a possibility?"

Seeing Chu Yan frowned upon hearing this. "You mean, telling us not to resist is saving us?"

Lin Xian looked at Ye Lan's expression on the opposite side, which was calm, and also felt that this thought was really a bit outrageous, so he spread his hands. "Okay, it's really too far-fetched..."

"It's also worth referring to," Ye Lan responded. "We are currently fully communicating with the South Tianmen, trying to obtain more information about these dark matter particles. Lin Xian, thanks to your plan, otherwise we wouldn't have a method to transmit information across the Sky Curtain Giant Screen." ===== CHAPTER 432 =====
