Chapter 529: Promise and Penetration
Under Po's explanation, Su Xing learned about the past of the True Martial lineage.
According to Po, when the True Martial lineage was born, it shocked many ancient civilizations and ancient sources. This was a civilization and race that was powerful in combat with martial arts and martial arts when it was at the absolute real layer. Its character was unyielding, and it had huge courage and collective honor, so after falling into the dream world later, relying on civilization characteristics and collective power, it developed a large area of the dream world, obtained huge reality share, and various resources and specialties in the dream world.
This made the True Martial lineage's power rise greatly, and strong people emerged one after another. When the entire civilization was still in the 0.7 dream world, there were already two-digit sublimation strong people in the civilization, and the strongest True Martial ancestor had already begun to move toward the source level in the sublimation stage.
It could be said that this was the reenactment of the rise of the Buddha Realm and the Heavenly Court. As long as the True Martial lineage could continue to become stronger, it might become a very strong civilization and very strong source similar to the Buddha Realm and the Heavenly Court in the future.
At that time, the Buddha Realm had already fallen silent, but the Heavenly Court still existed. And at that time, the Heavenly Court was the leader of many ancient civilizations and ancient sources. According to Po's statement, although there was no clear evidence, the Heavenly Court seemed to have done some secret means against the True Martial lineage, leading to a split within the True Martial lineage.
A genius emerged, and this genius was an Extreme Dao Seed. Then, because of inexplicable reasons, he formed a feud with the True Martial ancestor's lineage, and was then forced into the dream world to struggle for survival, but because of this, he rose, and later created the Star River lineage path, competing with the Human Immortal Yang God of True Martial, sharing the luck of the True Martial lineage.
Because the True Martial lineage and the Star River lineage came from the same source, but the paths were divided into two, and because of the encounter of the Star River lineage ancestor, the two sides were at odds, which led to the rise of the True Martial civilization being blocked, and internal fighting was frequent.
But even so, the True Martial lineage and the Star River lineage combined were still powerful and difficult to govern. The two were still from the same root. Even if they were at odds, they still had a certain tacit understanding on major issues. If it developed like this, it might be that a supreme source developed into two sub-supreme sources, which was still a threat to the Heavenly Court.
So gradually, I don't know when, a new extraordinary principle began to appear in the derivative dream worlds of the True Martial lineage and the Star River lineage.
This extraordinary path was also named after martial arts. Once this extraordinary path was practiced, one could practice the True Martial path or the Star River path without hindrance, and it had a complementary relationship with the True Martial Star River two paths, which could form a mutual multiplication stacking area, and even had some prospects of sublimation to the extreme. The True Martial Star River two major forces were pleasantly surprised. Although there were some doubts, after the testing and research of the two ancestors, it was confirmed that this path had no pollution and was completely compatible with True Martial Star River. Only then did the two forces begin to research and learn this newly appeared extraordinary path, and in the following hundreds of thousands of years, they carried it forward and pushed it to a very high realm step by step.
Just when True Martial Star River was about to ascend to the source because of this new extraordinary path, the terrible drawbacks of this extraordinary path appeared... Everyone who practiced this extraordinary path began to consume reality significantly!
"...Extraordinary is pollution, this should be a fact that your civilization already knows. But because your civilization is still at the absolute real layer, you don't know many specific contents of extraordinary is pollution. You just think that only some individuals in the civilization can practice extraordinary systems, and can only practice one or two extraordinary paths, otherwise it will lead to variation, etc. Apart from this, there seems to be no other influence, right? But it is not so."
Po sighed: "Except for the Extreme Dao Seed who can practice all extraordinary paths without hindrance, extraordinary is pollution also manifests as once you start falling into illusion, you will continuously consume reality. Unless you keep bringing strength and benefits to your civilization and your world, which can allow mortals in your civilization and world to continuously produce reality, otherwise the civilization will begin to weaken, and accelerate the fall, or attract the pollution source, bringing being lost. This is the truly terrible thing about extraordinary is pollution."
"Unless the extraordinary person achieves a sublimation body, the reality consumed will be significantly reduced. This is the true core of the sublimation body's 'perfection'. The so-called perfection not only refers to the perfection of self-sublimation, but also perfection against pollution. And if one can achieve the source, achieve infinite circulation and self-closure, then it is not just the reality consumed by oneself that will be almost non-existent, but it can also benefit the entire civilization and race, allowing the reality consumption of the civilization and race to be reduced to a very large extent. This is the greatest help of the sublimation body and the source to their civilization and race!"
Su Xing was shocked. Only then did he understand the perfection of the sublimation body, and the meaning of the source's self-circulation and self-closure. It turned out that this did not just refer to strength and field, but was used for the entire civilization and race. The so-called self-closure was resistance to pollution!
Po continued: "At that time, the True Martial lineage had no source. At the same time, almost all extraordinary people practiced this new extraordinary path. Although sublimation bodies could significantly reduce their own reality consumption, countless ordinary extraordinary people couldn't do so. Because the True Martial lineage was extremely prosperous and strong at that time, the ordinary mortal population was in the trillions, and the ordinary extraordinary people were in the millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions. As a result, this immediately caused a big problem!"
Su Xing felt creepy just thinking about that scene. Not to mention anything else, as long as the reality consumption of ordinary extraordinary people increased by 20% or 30% in a short period of time, it would be enough to cause fatal disaster for the True Martial civilization that had already formed a balance.
Sure enough, Po said: "Because of this sudden drastic change, the entire True Martial and Star River reality inventory bottomed out directly. Both sides had terrifying pollution sources descending, and both sides had drastic changes, which immediately intensified the friction between the two major camps, and finally evolved into war and plunder against each other. In the end, both sides were hurt, and the True Martial civilization had the possibility of being completely lost and fallen in a short time. Finally, the True Martial ancestor paid the price of joining the Heavenly Court to invite Heavenly Court reinforcements, while the Star River lineage colluded with the pollution source by some inexplicable method... I only know this much, I don't know the specifics. In short, in the end, the True Martial lineage was torn apart, either exterminated or hiding in the lost places, while the True Martial ancestor became the North Pole Suppressing Heaven True Martial Profound Heaven Emperor of the Heavenly Court's Four Emperors, and the Star River lineage was completely lost, and even the Star River lineage's path had the possibility of bringing lost pollution."
"And that extraordinary path that almost destroyed the True Martial lineage completely disappeared after that. Many ancient civilizations and ancient sources explored its foundation, but couldn't explore it, and didn't know where it was. It seemed to be forcibly lost by some force. And this extraordinary path was named Immortal Martial. The path it took was the type of refining essence into qi, forming internal energy in the body, constructing internal energy circulation, its name was the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, Ren and Du Meridians, Heaven and Earth Profound Pass, etc. This extraordinary path was extremely compatible with the True Martial lineage and the Star River lineage. Once practiced together with these two extraordinary paths, it could immediately produce chemical changes, form mutual multiplication stacking areas, and even break through the limits to reach a more incredible layer. This was also the reason why the True Martial civilization couldn't resist the temptation at that time and practiced it regardless of its abrupt appearance."
Su Xing was familiar with this. Wasn't this the internal strength in martial arts novels? There were so many mysterious inside stories, and he couldn't help but ask: "But you recommended me to practice this Immortal Martial, wouldn't that be repeating the mistakes of the True Martial civilization?"
Po smiled: "Otherwise, the True Martial civilization was practiced by everyone, and it was pushed to a very high level, so the consumption was naturally terrifying to the extreme. But you are different. Your civilization is still at the absolute real layer. In other words, even the race-specific extraordinary hasn't appeared yet, let alone everyone practicing it. The whole race is just you practicing it. Even if it falls below the source layer, how much reality can it consume for your civilization? What's more, after you achieve sublimation through the combination of True Martial and Immortal Martial, the consumption will be reduced by 99%. If you become a powerful source, then the whole race will be protected by you. Who cares about this little consumption?"
Su Xing suddenly realized, and then frowned again: "It is indeed good to say so, but you said that this Immortal Martial disappeared after the True Martial civilization fell, so I can't obtain it either."
Po said again: "My civilization's special extraordinary is 'containment', which is a very special race collective extraordinary. When facing pollution, it can change it into some specific disaster, or specific individual, or specific information, thing, life, and then find a way to contain it, or turn it into race power. At the same time, this race special extraordinary can also be used for exploration, so I can know so many secrets. What's more..."
When Po said this, he was a bit emotional, and he said: "This might also be your opportunity. Didn't I say I want to reserve 30% of existence to send you to where my civilization is? This is essentially opening a channel across time and space. And I happened to be infected by lost pollution and became a Zhai. In other words, I also possess a certain degree of lost pollution power... I can set this channel as a time-space channel leading to the lost worlds, time-space turbulence. In this process, you will penetrate this channel, and have a very high probability of obtaining people, things, and objects from the lost worlds that fit your extraordinary system. I can also increase this probability. If you choose the Immortal Martial path, then I will do this for you!"
Su Xing thought for a long time, thinking about the pros and cons, and asked again and again, and got Po's clearest answer. Human Immortal Martial Dao combined with Ghost Immortal practice, achieving the combination of Human Immortal and Yang God, or practicing the Star River lineage to achieve the final Star River Great Emperor, all could not compare to the combination of True Martial and Immortal Martial. And the Immortal Martial path indeed had no other special features except for consuming a lot of reality. This point was verified by the True Martial ancestor and the Star River ancestor at the beginning.
In the end, Su Xing agreed to Po's suggestion.
"Then... no time to lose! My existence has been consumed almost completely. If I delay, there will be changes. I will send you to where my civilization is now!" Po was also straightforward and said immediately.
Su Xing asked seriously: "What about this world?"
Po smiled: "Well, I'll leave you a coordinate, you can come back and see it yourself in the future."
"Judging... Judgment complete, obtained imprint, Android World Coordinate."
The Main Brain's voice sounded at the right time, and Su Xing was relieved.
Then Po smiled at him, and the whole person began to crack inch by inch.
Su Xing bowed silently, and then the pastoral scenery before his eyes began to dissipate.
When he came back to his senses, he saw a broken sci-fi style hall before his eyes, which was exactly in the domed building on the moon. Then, before he could come back to his senses, all the ghosts covering the moon began to shatter and dissipate. At the same time, countless ghosts fell into the void with the moon as the center, but there were countless living souls surging toward the mechanical lifeforms and androids on Earth and in space.
Immediately after, Su Xing's eyes blurred, and he entered the scene of the Main Brain penetrating the dream world again. It was just that the process was no longer a trance, but had a quantitative process of time. He was wearing the Guyver Unit, wrapped in three small animals and the golden tree bonsai, and flew across countless vague, trance-like, illusory plane worlds like a huge meteorite, various scenes from all over the world, various strange pictures...
Outside the Great Wall, Zhangjiakou, outside a restaurant, a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a crooked, pitch-black broken leather hat on his head, his face and hands were full of black coal, dressed as a beggar. The boy was being driven away by the waiter of the restaurant. He was not annoyed, just showing two rows of crystal-clear snow-white fine teeth. His eyeballs were pitch black, very agile.
Just when the boy was about to speak, and a simple and honest boy in leather clothes rushed out of the restaurant, suddenly at this moment, the sky shone brightly, and a huge comet appeared in the sky, sweeping low toward the ground. For a time, it attracted everyone's attention. They saw the comet sweeping across the sky at high speed, lasting for dozens of seconds. Everyone seemed to have lived a life again, but when they thought about it carefully, they couldn't think of anything. They only saw the comet fall to the ground and disappear beyond the horizon.
At this time, the waiter and the simple boy came back to their senses, and then they saw that the beggar boy just now had disappeared. They looked at each other, both strange, but it didn't matter. The simple boy went back to the restaurant to eat and drink, and the waiter also started to be busy again.
Only the beggar boy had disappeared.
