Chapter 480: You Are the Best One of Your Civilization!

~14 min read 2,696 words

The Three-Eyed People are within the most prosperous and largest city on the surface of their home planet.

A young Three-Eyed Person wakes up in a start from their sleep once again.

They gasp for air, feeling uncertain and afraid, recalling the memories from their dream.

Unlike previous dreams that would gradually blur until they vanished.

This time, the dream is becoming increasingly clear; even as time passes since waking, the details in the dream that they had not previously noticed are all vivid in their mind.

"Incredible. Isn't it said that only heroes are tempted by the Evil God and dream of the Evil God in their sleep?"

"And... is the one in the dream truly an Evil God?"

The young Three-Eyed Person is somewhat puzzled.

They recall the scene from the dream; in their mind, that humanoid True God who walked out from the Star is filled with an impulse that makes one want to prostrate and worship.

Furthermore, as they continue to recall the appearance of that True God.

The young Three-Eyed Person vaguely feels that a great deal of knowledge they had never learned has appeared in their mind.

Instinctively, they do not feel that this knowledge would be harmful to them or to the entire Three-Eyed People race.

It is just that the young Three-Eyed Person, who has always been timid and cowardly, also does not intend to try using the knowledge in their mind.

After all, in the current society of the Three-Eyed People, one only needs to open a communication device to see overwhelming propaganda about the Evil God endangering the world.

The youth understands very well that this propaganda must be exaggerated; otherwise, they could not explain to the outside world why they have to kill and imprison so many heroes.

After all, in the society of the Three-Eyed People, the status of every hero is quite lofty.

They are also the idols that the vast majority of Three-Eyed People hope to become from a young age.

Additionally, this propaganda is also aimed at those new heroes who might suddenly awaken their abilities every year.

Although they are rare in number, and no one knows when or under what conditions a Three-Eyed Person will suddenly awaken.

Or whether these newly awakened ones will also have dreams about the Evil God.

In the end, one must take precautions just in case.

Therefore, the propaganda does not lack reminders to new heroes who have not registered but have had such dreams: absolutely do not be bewitched, absolutely do not try...

A few days ago, the young Three-Eyed Person looked at this reminder without understanding.

Now they know, and they also understand that it means not to try using the knowledge from the dream.

"It seems I have indeed, without a doubt, dreamed of the Evil God."

"However, why haven't I discovered my own ability?"

After clarifying the situation, the young Three-Eyed Person is a bit excited, but soon becomes confused as well.

The upper echelons of the Three-Eyed People attach extreme importance to this matter of the Evil God, and even conducted a physical examination of the entire population two days ago.

Thanks to the technological foundation of the Three-Eyed People, who have already achieved unification and stepped off their home planet.

Such a massive operation was able to proceed smoothly under the active promotion of the upper echelons.

The school where the young Three-Eyed Person is located was one of the first batches of places to undergo physical testing two days ago.

To ensure accuracy, there were even Spirit Light Stones present at the scene, giving everyone a chance to personally touch this heavenly treasure.

The youth also underwent the test, but the result was unremarkable... no, it should be said that their body is slightly below the normal level.

There was also no special reaction to the contact with the Spirit Light Stone.

This also fits the youth's own perception of themselves.

Aren't they just the undisputed weakling in the school?

Day after day, they are acting as a free errand boy.

Fortunately, consumption in the society of the Three-Eyed People is based on credit points, and school management is known for being strict.

The kind of bullying from the old era aimed at extortion has almost disappeared.

After all, whether it is the transfer of credit points or the flow of goods after shopping... it is simply too easy to track.

Realizing this, the young Three-Eyed Person becomes uncertain again.

What if, in the end, this is just a beautiful dream that they subconsciously forged for themselves because they have been receiving relevant information during this period?

By then, they would probably have no face left at all, right?

Thinking of this, the young Three-Eyed Person conceals this dream and does not choose to report it as the propaganda suggests.

They wash up as usual and then go to school.

They hide alone on the rooftop to take a nap.

And then they wake up in a start from their sleep once again.

The young Three-Eyed Person's pupils dilate, feeling slightly panicked.

They have once again dreamed of that deity walking forward from within the Star.

And they vaguely feel that the other party's appearance seems to be becoming clearer.

In their mind, a whisper received in the dream also emerges.

It is a language the young Three-Eyed Person has never heard before.

But the moment the voice sounds in their heart, their mind automatically understands its meaning.

【I come from within memory, flowing through the Memory River】

【The Dao of memory is the only way to save the world in this age】

"What does this mean?"

"Memory shouldn't just be the simple memories of living beings."

"Is it more like the memory of the entire universe, or even involving a multi-dimensional universe?"

The young Three-Eyed Person is inexplicably startled, feeling strange and afraid of this concept.

They are just a weak student whose greatest dream is to become a hero and be worshipped by people.

Yet now he was being told that the things he had come into contact with involved the fate of the entire universe, or perhaps even countless universes?

"No wonder the higher-ups think this is an Evil God."

"If you're going to lie, at least make it realistic; don't you know that even small rural cults, if they really want to grow, start by giving out food and drink and providing services like asking after people's well-being?"

He muttered a few words under his breath.

The communication device the Three-Eyed People youth had placed by his ear suddenly rang.

Then, the Three-Eyed People youth learned that it was actually a communication request from the school.

The moment he connected, the Three-Eyed People youth thought that what he had dreamed about had actually happened.

As expected, was the rumor that heroes could monitor brainwaves actually true?

Not until the Three-Eyed People youth went to the principal's office as requested.

Good news: the Three-Eyed People youth's dream had not been discovered.

Bad news: something had happened to the Three-Eyed People youth's parents.

The youth's parents both worked for a subsidiary of a company that served a certain hero.

That hero had died from his injuries during this Evil God chaos.

The forces under his command were naturally subjected to a strict investigation.

And then... an armed conflict occurred during the investigation process.

The Three-Eyed People youth's parents were both caught in the crossfire of this conflict and had already died from their severe injuries.

The Three-Eyed People youth was stunned senseless by this sudden turn of events.

The principal sighed and processed a leave of absence for him.

He also found a teacher to send the Three-Eyed People youth home.

The Three-Eyed People youth stayed at home alone for a very, very long time.

Only then did he suddenly snap back to his senses, discovering that his memory seemed to have become exceptionally, exceptionally good.

Memories from childhood, details he had seen inadvertently—as long as he thought about them, they could all surface.

"Is this my superpower?"

"An ability related to memory?"

The Three-Eyed People youth's eyes were filled with tears, brimming with unwillingness.

Because this kind of superpower could not bring his family back.

And he recalled every story about heroes he had ever seen.

As long as it was a story officially certified to have a real prototype.

Not a single one of them could bring the dead back to life.

Unless...

"Coming from within the memory."

This whisper from the dream surfaced in the Three-Eyed People youth's mind.

He realized that if his understanding was not wrong.

The method to resurrect his family might... really only be possible by borrowing the power of that deity from the dream.

But, relying on him alone, could he really do something that even the heroes could not?

After a period of confusion deep in his heart, as the details of his family in his memory became clearer and clearer, the Three-Eyed People youth grew firm.

He became determined.

He began to constantly recall the details of the dream.

He began to search for a way to summon the god of the dream.

While the Three-Eyed People began to search.

The Three-Eyed People higher-ups.

In the middle of the night, they were still deciding on one major matter after another under bright lights.

One order after another was issued.

Internal strife would not end just by clearing out a few heroes.

Every hero had a massive force behind them that used them as a banner.

It was impossible for all these large and small forces to be accepted.

After all, if they were truly accepted, wouldn't that mean the purge by the victors' backers was for nothing?

Except for the very few lucky ones favored by the heroes themselves.

The rest had to be purged.

Especially the former confidants and core members who had once controlled resources.

It was best to erase them physically.

Otherwise, once everything got back on track later.

If these guys relied on their talents to climb back on top of them, wouldn't that be terrible?

"The Evil God's dream should only be dreamt by those with hero-level talent during that time period."

"We found two newcomers who awakened in the last two days, and neither of them dreamt that dream..."

"This is a good thing."

"As long as no one dreams that dream anymore."

"The Evil God cannot possibly influence our world."

In the conference room, an elderly hero gave a report, and after scanning his companions with full confidence, he said:

"Next, we only need to guard against any of our own people being seduced by the Evil God."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, many heroes trembled slightly and all looked toward the elderly hero.

The elderly hero ignored them and instead looked toward the Leader sitting at the head.

Every generation of Leader is the undisputed strongest.

This Leader nodded slightly; though he did not speak, the air vibrated and produced a sound.

In order to ensure that their achievements this time would not be destroyed.

In order to ensure that the Evil God would not be summoned and destroy the Three-Eyed People civilization.

The Leader decided that all heroes must wear an ornament from the Leader and have the Leader's mark branded upon them.

These heroes knew the effects of this mark.

This generation's Leader had mastered multiple supernatural abilities.

One of them was Kongzhiqiti.

Another was the Puppet Mark.

A person who has been branded with the mark is equivalent to having a surveillance device installed.

At the same time, at a critical moment, they could also be briefly controlled by the Leader.

In the past, no normal hero would have accepted the Leader's mark.

But today, there was not a single hero who opened their mouth to voice opposition.

Under the previous great battle, they had already joined forces to kill the heroes who could barely resist the Leader and his lackeys.

Now they... simply had no power to refuse.

Furthermore, at least the stated reason was not unacceptable.

Compared to keeping secrets individually, entrusting them to the Leader might be the right thing for the entire Three-Eyed People civilization.

"After the branding, I will not interfere with your industrial expansion."

"If any Spirit Light Stone veins are discovered during subsequent planet development."

"I only want half."

The unquestionable price offered by the Leader made the few heroes who were still hesitating lower their heads and choose to submit.

Thus, in the middle of this night.

Unbeknownst to them, the high and mighty heroes in the eyes of the Three-Eyed People were all branded with a mark.

The Three-Eyed People youth did not know any of this.

After spending the night in recollection, he fell into a deep sleep and ended up sleeping until noon.

He woke up in a hazy state.

Opening his eyes, the Three-Eyed People youth was shocked to find that what he saw was not the warm, blinding sunlight.

Instead, it was a vast, boundless sea of stars.

In the sea of stars, a massive Star occupied most of his field of vision.

The magnificence of it all caused the Three-Eyed People youth to become completely immersed in it.

It was not until his shoulder was patted that he woke up from this illusion and let out a scream.

"Do not be afraid."

"This is the world of your dreams."

Su Ping's Avatar, or rather a new thought-projection born from the Three-Eyed People's resonance, said faintly near the youth's shoulder:

"Kid, you are very special."

"In this low-level civilization, you are the best in terms of Divine Soul talent."

"I... am the best one?"

The Three-Eyed People youth understood Su Ping's Avatar's words and was somewhat bewildered.

"Hehehe, you will understand soon."

"But for now, you only need to receive some knowledge, and then go back."

"After all, maintaining such a Dream Realm world is not an easy task for you."

"Wait!"

Hearing this, the Three-Eyed People youth could not help but shout:

"I don't care what you are, whether you are a True God or an Evil God."

"I want to ask, if I can help you."

"May I ask... can you resurrect my family?"

"Resurrect family?"

"If there is no time limit, then naturally it is possible."

"All living beings can return from the Memory River."

"If you want to achieve it in a short time, I need to observe the site to make a judgment."

Su Ping's Avatar would not lie just because the other party was a mortal.

Resurrection of the dead in the true sense is not simple.

But if one changes it slightly, such as giving the soul a new physical body, it is still easy.

Anyway, there is no need to consider whether this will affect the other side's aptitude or if they will only have a few hundred years of lifespan.

This answer was already enough for the Three-Eyed People youth.

In fact, the youth's bottom line was just... as long as it wasn't absolutely impossible!

After truly waking up, the youth discovered that his nose had bled a lot, even staining the bedsheets and quilt red.

However, before the youth could get up to tidy up.

The youth felt the massive amount of knowledge that had appeared in his mind.

As well as that... Avatar of the person who spoke in his dream?

Regarding the concept of an Avatar, the youth also understood its meaning through the knowledge in his mind.

He also understood that at a critical moment.

This Avatar would take control of his body, thereby unleashing the true power within him to turn danger into safety.

However, the Three-Eyed People youth naturally hoped that such a situation would never occur.

"Kid, although I could easily look through your memories to know your name."

"But I have no interest in peeping."

"So, for the sake of easy communication, tell me."

"My name?"

The Three-Eyed People youth trembled slightly, wiped his nosebleed, and whispered:

"Fuchen."

"The name of a hero from a thousand years ago who saved many, many people."
