Chapter 542

(PS: I updated late today. First, I was disciplining my child and was so angry I nearly had a cerebral hemorrhage. Second, this chapter is quite long and I revised it several times... Everyone, sorry for the wait. I will resume the alliance leader bonus updates in the next two days. Thank you all.)

Wu Pifu was initially indifferent, but when these five people started talking about a primitive civilization being born on a planet, he immediately knew they were talking about what happened on the 1.0 Absolute Reality Layer.

This was completely different!

The primordial state of a lost civilization has immense value. Not only would the Main Brain grant a large amount of points and other rewards, but researching the roots of its loss would also help prevent Gaia humans from repeating the same mistakes.

"... Human civilization was born, and under the inspiration of the Spiritual Church, humans migrated from all over the planet for tens of thousands of years, finally gathering in the place with the most abundant water and grass. With that place as the center, human civilization united as one, fighting against nature with a single purpose. That period was called the Golden Age..."

"... The end of the Golden Age stemmed from the confusion of the 97th generation Spiritual Grand Mentor. His misinterpretation of the divine oracle led to the division of humanity..."

Wu Pifu raised his hand and said, "Interrupting for a moment, this Spiritual Grand Mentor is a unique extraordinary system of your civilization, right?"

The five old, weak, sick, and disabled people all nodded... one of them didn't nod, but moved their arm.

The so-called Spiritual Grand Mentor was indeed the special extraordinary of the Potion Civilization and the origin of this civilization's extraordinary nature, just as the Quantum State Observer of the Alchemy Civilization was the origin of alchemy extraordinaries. The Spiritual Grand Mentor was the origin of potion extraordinaries.

According to them, the Spiritual Grand Mentor was a special human type that had appeared in their civilization since the primitive society. Their numbers were very small, often only one per generation, but they were continuous. When each generation of Spiritual Grand Mentor died, a new one would be born. They had always been the leaders of humanity.

On the Absolute Reality Layer, the Spiritual Grand Mentor only had two abilities: one was to receive divine oracles, and the other was to condense something similar to the human collective subconscious through spiritual inspiration from the void, thereby macroscopically adjusting human behavioral and thought patterns, enabling the Spiritual Civilization to achieve total unification of all human races since the primitive society.

But success also came from the Spiritual Grand Mentor, and failure also came from the Spiritual Grand Mentor. During the time of the 97th generation Spiritual Grand Mentor, something happened that the Spiritual Civilization had never encountered before... As the human mentor and leader, the Spiritual Grand Mentor was actually confused.

The divine oracle he received became self-contradictory. For the first time, he did not know how to interpret the divine oracle.

"... No one knows what contradictory divine oracle the 97th generation Spiritual Grand Mentor received at that time, nor do we know how many divine oracles he received, or even the roots that issued the divine oracles," the headless woman said.

The mechanical youth took over the topic and said, "That was a long, long time later. Only after we had fallen from the Absolute Reality World to the depths of the illusion did we know that the divine oracles issued to the Spiritual Grand Mentor were actually the work of the roots. There were benevolent roots and malicious roots, but regardless of whether they were benevolent or malicious, when we were still on the Absolute Reality Layer, they would only provide us with help, because at that time they could not suckle us. Only by helping us could they obtain the reality fed back by the Absolute Reality Layer, so..."

The elderly man also said, "So even until now, our Spiritual Civilization has been lost, and we, as well as the three roots of the past civilization, still do not know what divine oracle the 97th generation Spiritual Grand Mentor received. According to the speculation of the three roots, perhaps that was not a divine oracle or information issued to us by the roots, but... a vicious greeting from the terrifying, unspeakable source of pollution."

Three roots...

The Potion Civilization was even more powerful than expected. At its peak, there were actually three roots in existence!

Wu Pifu asked curiously, "I heard that as long as there is a root in a racial civilization, the consumption of reality by the racial civilization will be greatly reduced, so that even if the civilization falls to the root layer, it will not be lost. Your civilization had three roots, so why was it still lost?"

The five people were all silent. They did not answer Wu Pifu's question. The bald man with burns said, "... The 97th generation Spiritual Grand Mentor was confused for half a century, and then, when he was about to die of old age, he did a great thing. He built a pyramid..."

The Spiritual Grand Mentor mobilized the power of humanity, which had already entered the Bronze Age at that time. Under the labor of millions of humans, they built a magnificent pyramid, far exceeding the largest pyramid on Earth known to Wu Pifu. Its size could even be called a small megastructure, a building that could be seen even from space.

In ten years, millions of people participated directly in the construction. More than 50,000 people died from accidents alone, not to mention those who died from overwork. Finally, this magnificent building was built, and then the Spiritual Grand Mentor sealed himself inside the pyramid, while more than 500,000 humans were buried with him.

"... When I return from death, humanity will enter the age of mythology."

This was the last sentence left by the 97th generation Spiritual Grand Mentor. From then on, this pyramid became the holy land of humanity. From then on, countless humans came here from all over to make pilgrimages, but they could never get within 100 meters of this pyramid, except for every generation of Spiritual Grand Mentor that followed.

From then on, every generation of Spiritual Grand Mentor would enter the pyramid before death. No one knew why they had to go in, nor did they know what they experienced inside. Since then, the Spiritual Civilization began continuous progress, from bronze, to iron, to feudal, to modern, to contemporary, to the future...

Unlike other civilizations, the main intelligent life of the Spiritual Civilization was unified from beginning to end. There were no countries, and although there were various factions, its civilization had never experienced a break. It continued until the future. According to technology, it was almost the 22nd century of Gaia humans when the 97th generation Spiritual Grand Mentor was resurrected, accompanied by a giant eye so huge that it occupied one-third of the visible universe...

Speaking of this, the five gods closed their mouths at the same time. Wu Pifu looked at them suspiciously. The five old, weak, sick, and disabled people still kept their mouths shut.

Wu Pifu looked at a number that had just appeared in the corner of his eye: Spiritual Civilization Exploration Degree 9%...

Only 9%?

Wu Pifu frowned and said, "Why don't you continue? Keep talking?"

The five old, weak, sick, and disabled people all smiled bitterly. They all shook their heads. The rotting corpse said, "It's not that we don't want to talk, but once the following words are spoken, a drastic change will occur here. We finally managed to turn this place into a silent tomb with the help of the Containment Civilization. Once spoken, our final tombstone will be lost..."

Wu Pifu frowned and looked around.

After the giant tentacle extinguished the sun, the whole world began to become dim. The tentacle turned into another light source in the sky, but this light source was blood-red and full of filthy aura.

"This is a tomb?" Wu Pifu asked curiously.

The five old, weak, sick, and disabled people all smiled bitterly. The old man gasped and said, "Yes, this is both a tomb and the world where our civilization fell, and it is also the very moment our civilization was lost..."

Wu Pifu asked again, "Did you achieve all this with the help of the Containment Civilization?"

The five old, weak, sick, and disabled people still nodded. Wu Pifu wanted to ask something else, but the headless woman said, "You are the new civilization of this era? Right?"

Wu Pifu nodded. The five old, weak, sick, and disabled people looked at each other. The bald man with burns said, "Then this information must be very useful to you... Starting from your new era, the twelve real civilizations traced upwards are all special civilizations. Their special point is that when we were still on the Absolute Reality Layer, our civilization already had the budding of extraordinary origins. At the same time, we were watched by the source of pollution on the Absolute Reality Layer, and the next generation of civilization, the more bizarre and powerful its extraordinary essence."

The rotting corpse said, "Our Spiritual Civilization is six iterations away from the Containment Civilization and about seven iterations away from your era. It only took 60,000 years for our civilization to fall from being watched by the polluted root, while the Containment Civilization only took 9,000 years. By your civilization, it might only be two or three thousand years... According to the calculations of the Containment Civilization, the next civilization will have a shorter time to fall after being watched, which means that the source of pollution is likely to have completely eroded absolute reality."

Wu Pifu was shocked. This information was indeed very useful. He remembered it all firmly. At the same time, the Spiritual Civilization Exploration Degree in the corner of his eye actually jumped, reaching 10%, and then the Main Brain's voice sounded.

"Judging... Judgment complete, reached the critical point of lost civilization exploration."

"Second judgment... Judgment complete, confirmed to be in the starting world of the lost civilization."

"Third judgment... Judgment complete, Citizen Wu Pifu, do you want to start Lost Penetration?"

"Warning, Lost Penetration will have extremely high risks and is very likely to be lost in the lost. Once lost in the lost, all your information will be lost-ified and completely erased. All causality about you, all fate about you, all your past, present, and future will completely disappear."

"Do you want to start Lost Penetration?"

Wu Pifu hummed three times and said very firmly, "Don't start, goodbye."

After speaking, Wu Pifu was about to tell the five old, weak, sick, and disabled people about the intelligence of the Containment Civilization. Anyway, the main mission was this.

The Main Brain paused, and the voice sounded in Wu Pifu's mind again.

"Judging... Judgment complete, start Lost Penetration, and continue the lost-ification exploration of the Spiritual Civilization. A portion will be split from the human shared points as a reward for Citizen Wu Pifu."

"One item will be randomly drawn from the following ordinary reward pool..."

"Forget it!"

Wu Pifu directly cupped his hands in the void and said, "Can't afford to provoke, can't afford to draw. African chief, metaphysics can't save the non-African, krypton can't change fate, goodbye."

The Main Brain paused again, and the voice continued to sound.

"... One item will be randomly obtained from the following essence reward pool."

"Human Immortal Martial Arts Blood Exchange Realm to 108 Acupoints Condensation Technique full set, National Arts upgrade to God-Seeing Indestructible and above level method, Galaxy Martial Arts entry to Constant Determination method, Innate Heaven and Earth Five Metal Copper Spleen and Silver Kidney, Title: You are too tiger, 100 million points, simple repair of Nodos contract crystal (fragment) into shards, gourmet cells (no gourmet demon version), Zanpakuto (no release opened), Ultraman transformation device (30-second version), Magical Girl Heart Flower (broken)..."

"Fuck!"

Wu Pifu cursed loudly, "Main Brain, what's wrong with you!? There's really a magical girl? Me? Are you sure there's no problem?"

"... Super brain assistant (with Dragoon system), Level 7 portable super shelter (can be charged, can repeatedly use Level 7 shelter function)..."

Wu Pifu fell silent when he heard this. The words "Level 7 portable super shelter" began to float in front of his eyes. This was not an adjective, but the Main Brain really projected these words on his retina, and they kept floating by like barrage, and the Main Brain did not continue to talk about the subsequent reward items.

Wu Pifu remained silent. After a long time, he lowered his head and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I know. I know it's a random draw. It's unlikely that you will give me this thing now, but since you have taken this thing out, obviously... you have this thing, right?"

Main Brain: "..."

Wu Pifu paced back and forth for a moment. He took a deep breath and said, "Main Brain, I don't know if you have intelligence, if you have wisdom, but since you do, then I am willing to fight for you, whether it is for you or for humanity... Don't let me down. If you don't give it to me this time, I am still willing to fight, but don't go too far, don't let me down..."

Wu Pifu said in a voice of unprecedented seriousness, "I am willing to be a human because I want to be a human, to be a good person. My parents, my education, and my worldview all told me this. I am willing... but you definitely don't want to see me when I don't want to be a human. I swear... you, or any existence, don't want to see it. So, the contract is reached. This thing... is mine. Even if I have to fight 100 times for it, this thing is mine, okay?"

"... Judging... Judgment complete, Citizen Wu Pifu, do you want to start Lost Penetration?"

The Main Brain's voice sounded. Wu Pifu took a deep breath and said seriously, "Yes, start Lost Penetration."

While the five old, weak, sick, and disabled people were still confused, everything in front of Wu Pifu began to change. He... heard a sound.

The sound of the Heart Phase...

That day, everyone ate Him...

That day, the spirit shrouded the world...
