Chapter 474

Wu Pifu was noncommittal and just kept moving forward.

He wanted to discuss with Beelzebub before deciding on the next step. Whether it was a promise or a refusal, he didn't want to break his word afterward.

The benefits of agreeing were naturally many. He could learn from Zhang Xuer the other half of the Human Immortal martial arts technique that was missing, which seemed to be specifically for cultivating the spiritual consciousness, which is the so-called "Nature Cultivation."

Nature and Life—Nature is consciousness and thought, while Life is the physical body and physique. Human Immortal martial arts and National Arts are "Life Cultivation," but judging from their cultivation paths and combat techniques, they indeed carry the characteristics of Nature Cultivation. For example, when National Arts are at a profound level, martial intuition also evolves, producing supernatural abilities similar to "the cicada sensing the autumn wind before it moves."

Comparing this to Zhang Xuer's combat, it was clear that the other half missing from Human Immortal martial arts was the technique regarding Nature Cultivation.

Besides this greatest benefit, there was also the knowledge about the entire Dream World system, the former True World, the many fallen Sources, as well as the enemies, predicaments, and the foundations of the source of pollution that humanity might face—all of these could be called priceless treasures.

Therefore, Wu Pifu was inclined to take them with him to leave these Lost Lands.

But this involved an extremely important core question...

True Realm... what is it?

The "True Realm" Zhang Xuer spoke of did not simply refer to the True World, but to some kind of quantifiable product, material, or energy from the True World, similar to the crystals and gas in StarCraft.

And to transform a life form that is factually lost but exists because it is struggling to survive in the Lost Lands into a life form that can appear in the True World and act in the Dream World requires consuming the True Realm.

And from what Zhang Xuer and the woman of the demon race said, they were all non-Sublimated Bodies. In these Lost Lands, there were so-called Lost Forbidden Zones, where some old monsters had survived since the civilization they belonged to fell. These old monsters, as well as the Sublimated Bodies that came with them into the forbidden zones, and the Sublimated Bodies that appeared very occasionally over these countless years, were completely lost individuals who couldn't even leave the forbidden zones.

In one Lost Land, there were likely dozens of such forbidden zone forces, and other Lost Lands were no less impressive.

These old monsters, and the unknown number of Sublimated Bodies in each forbidden zone, all longed to return to the real world—extremely longed, incomparably longed.

"... The process of being lost is not without awareness."

Zhang Xuer said, "Little junior brother probably noticed it too, right? Does the feeling I give you occasionally seem a bit dull? This isn't because I haven't talked to people for too long, but because even in the forbidden zone, I am gradually being lost. After becoming a Sublimated Body, the speed of being lost will further decrease. The stronger you are, the slower the speed of being lost. But this being lost is irreversible and unstoppable. Even my master has already lost a lot, a lot."

"You can feel this process yourself, just like your soul, your consciousness, and your flesh and blood being stripped away bit by bit, everything about you is disappearing... If I could, I would never, ever want to experience this feeling again."

At this point, the woman of the demon race also nodded and said, "The situation of my demon race is the same. According to my guess, they would even be willing to return to the real world for even one second, experience a complete true self for even one second, and then die immediately. Most of them would likely be willing."

This statement made Wu Pifu feel a bit horrified.

Similarly, this also meant that he wasn't just a rare commodity—he was a life-saving divine medicine!

As long as his origin from the True World of this Era from the outside world was exposed, then all the forbidden zone forces would fight over him, control him, obtain the True Realm, then go to the outside world, or even invade the True World where Wu Pifu was...

"Then the question comes: what exactly is this quantifiable True Realm you speak of?" Wu Pifu asked impatiently.

Zhang Xuer and the woman of the demon race were both a bit confused. The woman of the demon race took the lead and said, "The True Realm of every True World is different, but it must be quantifiable—things that can be obtained through exploration and development of the Dream World. When the True World civilization you belong to still exists, killing powerful enemies in the Dream World, obtaining the truth of the loss of the past True World, increasing the survival probability of the True World you belong to, and information about survival time... all these can obtain feedback from the True World. For example, the True Realm of my demon race is like solidified blood, but it is between material and spiritual. You should recall carefully; after all, you have the aura of the True Realm on you."

Zhang Xuer also said, "The ancestors' sensing won't be wrong. They just can't sense the quantity of the True Realm, but since they can sense that you have the aura of the True Realm on you, you must carry the True Realm."

Wu Pifu pondered for a moment. What he had on him that could be quantified, the specialty from the Gaia material world, obtained by killing monsters in the Dream World, obtaining important information, or increasing the survival rate and strength of the Gaia human civilization...

Points!?

That's it!

Wu Pifu suddenly recalled that if he wanted to save his parents from the illusory parallel world, he needed to invest a huge amount of points. And illusory and lost—aren't these the same meaning!?

The points obtained from the tasks issued by the Main Brain are the "True Realm" of the True Civilization of this Era of his!!

Having figured this out, Wu Pifu didn't ask any more questions and began to head toward the destination at full speed.

Not long after, Wu Pifu dragged the three giant beasts, which were dying but wouldn't die because of their tenacious vitality, to the city-state where Samara was located.

As the three giant beasts approached, the guards on the city walls had already sounded the alarm. Soon, Vesperion Star-Fall, as the deputy god of the Divine Court, arrived on the city wall, and not long after, Samara also arrived. They looked into the distance at the three giant beasts rushing over like a bulldozer, and their faces were filled with worry.

But when the giant beasts got close, they saw Wu Pifu dragging them at the same time. While both the god and the human were speechless, they were also happy in their hearts.

Wu Pifu being able to return meant he must have solved the Tower of Lust, and since he could solve the Tower of Lust, the other towers were obviously not a problem.

When Wu Pifu arrived under the city, everyone greeted him. Both the god and the human originally wanted to ask how to eat these three giant beasts... no, how to process them, but Wu Pifu's first sentence left them completely dumbfounded.

"Can these three batteries be used?"

"What!?"

Both the god and the human were completely bewildered, and then they saw the two women flying in behind Wu Pifu, and for a moment, they were a bit guarded.

After all, it was the Tower of Lust, and Lust + Woman—this standard configuration didn't seem to have any problems.

Wu Pifu said directly, "Don't worry about them. Let's talk about the Floating City. Didn't you say you wanted to build a Floating City before? These three giant beasts can all use extraordinary power and carry their own extraordinary energy. How about using these three giant beasts as batteries for the Floating City?"

Vesperion Star-Fall was the first to react. He immediately circled around the giant beasts a few times, then said to Wu Pifu with an excited face, "Yes, yes, how did the Saint know that my Arcane lineage has this ability? Before the Arcane Core was invented, many Floating Cities or large magical cities used biological power. Extraordinary life forms are the best functional batteries. Even better are demons, devils, and Abyss Lords."

"?"

Wu Pifu was silent for a moment before saying, "Abyss Lords... are they the kind with four legs, hands on the upper body, and holding a heavy weapon?"

"?"

Vesperion Star-Fall showed a puzzled expression. He thought carefully for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "No, there is no such form of Abyss Lord. The form of an Abyss Lord is amorphous; it will change form according to the desires, evil thoughts, etc., of the life form it contacts. Usually, an isolated Abyss Lord should be a jelly-like liquid."

Wu Pifu just complained in his heart and waved his hand, "I have already broken all the bones and such of these three giant beasts. They are basically unable to move. Don't worry, their vitality is very tenacious, they won't die. Then I'll leave them to you."

Vesperion Star-Fall and Samara looked at the three giant beasts at the same time. Their images were miserable; their bodies were only half left, various intestines and internal organs were dragged all over the ground, and shredded meat and bones were behind them. But their vitality was indeed tenacious; they hadn't died yet, and their bodies were still healing very slowly.

When the god and the human looked at the three giant beasts, they inexplicably saw human-like pleading in the eyes of the three giant beasts...

Kill them!

That aside, Wu Pifu headed toward the room of the three little animals. In this room, it was a scene of chaos, with Chiu Chiu and Daphne chasing Beelzebub.

"... What does it have to do with me! Who told you all that you can't stably turn into human form? If you have the ability, each of you turn into a big, tired demoness. He likes that kind. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves."

Beelzebub was flying around the whole room to avoid them, while also shouting loudly.

When Wu Pifu came in, the three little animals were still chasing each other. He flicked his fingers three times, and immediately all three little animals stood still on the spot. Chiu Chiu and Beelzebub, who were flying in the sky, fell down and were caught by Wu Pifu, one in each palm.

The woman of the demon race and Zhang Xuer, who followed Wu Pifu, also saw this scene. The woman of the demon race's face was full of surprise. She looked at Chiu Chiu and Daphne and immediately laughed loudly, "The ancestors' thoughts were indeed correct. Even though my demon race is almost lost and has fallen from above so many times through the alternation of Eras, my demon race's bloodline is still unbroken and has become the underlying code of each True Era!"

Zhang Xuer's gaze, however, was fixed on Beelzebub. After a long while, she said in a trembling voice, "You... no, you are..."

"The Material Tyrant? The Fire Thief..."

"Lord Beelzebub who awakened the Primordial Buddha at the most critical moment!?"
