Chapter 544: Points and Togetherness

Wu Pifu was somewhat puzzled.

He had killed the Light Chaser, but he hadn't received any points, and the Main Brain hadn't given any prompts.

This was completely different from the Golden Skeleton.

This made Wu Pifu feel a bit sullen. After all, his biggest goal in taking this exploration mission was points, and on top of that, there was now an extra point-devouring monster in Huang Rong. He had too many places where he needed points right now.

Regardless, since he had already accepted the exploration mission and the task of penetrating into this lost world, Wu Pifu could only complete it. Even if the Main Brain didn't give him a portable level-seven shelter, it should at least give him a powerful reward, right? Uh... Magical Girl excluded!!

As Wu Pifu flew along with Huang Rong, his conventional speed had stabilized at around four thousand meters per second. Even at such a speed, he had actually flown for a full thirty-plus minutes. Clearly, the space in this world was somewhat wrong; the entire land was much larger than it appeared.

Finally, after thirty-plus minutes, an abandoned building appeared on the land. Unlike other buildings seen along the way, this building looked relatively well-preserved. However, the moment Wu Pifu saw this building, he felt a sense of hair-raising horror, and goosebumps naturally broke out.

Huang Rong, on the other hand, had no abnormalities. Just like the spiritual scream before, she seemed immune to many of the strange influences here.

When they arrived outside this building, Wu Pifu put Huang Rong down and said, "Rong'er, you wait for me outside. I'll go in and explore. If you encounter danger, use the different-dimensional space. Also, if you see me coming back, don't open it immediately. I always have a bad premonition... How about this: unless you see me take out this broken blade, stand on my head here, bark like a dog, and spin three times, don't open it."

"?"

Huang Rong was completely bewildered and said, "No, Brother Pifu, why is it barking like a dog!?"

Wu Pifu said earnestly, "Heaven knows if there is some powerful weirdness here imitating me. But if I stand on my head, bark like a dog, and spin three times, I reckon they won't do it. These powerful weirdnesses probably don't have the face to do such shameful things."

Huang Rong really, really wanted to ask, what about you? Do you have the face to do it? No, none of the senior experts with amazing skills she knew were this shameless. Wu Pifu was a thousand, ten thousand times more powerful than them, and he could still be like this!?

At this time, Wu Pifu had already gone far away, and Huang Rong could only stay where she was, carefully observing the surroundings.

On the other side, Wu Pifu didn't care and just walked toward the building. When he reached the entrance, the hair-raising feeling became even more intense. However, being bold due to his high skills, he just continued to walk into the interior of the building.

This building looked damaged on the outside, but the interior was surprisingly intact, only looking a bit old, as if no one had lived there for a very long time.

But precisely because of this, Wu Pifu's vigilance was raised even higher.

This also meant that this building was special to this lost civilization. It possessed some kind of significance and held a special status in its lost transformation, or some important node happened here, which was why it remained so intact. But this also meant that there was huge danger inside this building.

As Wu Pifu went deeper, especially going to the dormitory area in the basement according to the content of the memory flash, he didn't encounter any weirdness or danger along the way. Apart from the silence and the hair-raising feeling, this place seemed to be just an ordinary uninhabited building.

Wu Pifu didn't stop or hesitate at all along the way and went directly to the Light Chaser's room in the dormitory area. Then, according to the information obtained in the memory flash, he flicked the wall twice. A moment later, the surface of the wall actually turned into a thin sheet of paper and fell off.

The Light Chaser was also a transcendent at the time of the memory flash. Although his combat strength wasn't strong, doing some basic changes was no problem. And the more subtle the transcendent change, the weaker its manifestation and the probability of being discovered, which was perhaps the reason why this diary was preserved...

Of course, it was also possible that the original diary had long been discovered by someone, and the existing thin sheet of paper was just a reenactment after the loss.

Wu Pifu picked up this thin sheet of paper. Before he had time to look at it, the Main Brain's voice rang out at this moment.

"Judging... Judgment complete. Killed Light Chaser, obtained important lost information important node, obtained 1.2 million points."

Wu Pifu was stunned and immediately looked carefully at this thin sheet of paper.

The Light Chaser was actually very weak, at least to him. Although his attack power was great, it was basically all long-range attacks, and he had no intelligence or combat skills. It could be said that he was completely countered by him. He didn't expect that after killing him and then finding the important node in his memory flash, it would directly give 1.2 million points!?

This made Wu Pifu feel invigorated, and the resentment for being "coerced" by the Main Brain to come to this world immediately lessened a lot.

This was an entire lost world! If it was feasible, then why wouldn't he just farm here to his heart's content? Get a few hundred million or billions of points, and then anything could be solved!

The thin paper looked only the size of a palm, but when Wu Pifu looked at it, he could see a large amount of text directly appearing on his retina. The number of words far exceeded what the thin paper could carry. This seemed to be a transcendent power based on light.

"...Today, I once again completed the 'salvage' work on transcendent characteristics. That's right, colleagues, mentors, or work regulations all call this behavior 'salvage'."

"...Any sentient life will accumulate impurities in their spiritual consciousness, which can also be called negativity. It is actually a collection of countless ineffective chaotic information. For ordinary people, it is meaningless stuff. If it accumulates too much, it will lead to dullness in their spiritual consciousness, or even damage. So I have always felt that the salvage of transcendent characteristics is a good thing for everyone. Ordinary people's negativity is cleaned up, transcendents obtain transcendent characteristics, and the civilization as a whole becomes stronger. This is a win-win, but..."

"...I was wrong. This negative impurity itself is void and disordered. To make it turn into a transcendent characteristic and materialize, there must be an essential framework. Negative impurity is the filler, while the essential framework is the entity of the transcendent characteristic. And this essential framework is actually the heart-image of every sentient life!"

"...The so-called heart-image is the essence that constitutes personality, consciousness, and spirit. When it is salvaged from the spiritual consciousness of ordinary life, the negativity will fill it, thereby giving birth to transcendent characteristics that can be seen, touched, and used on the material level. And the salvaged person seems to be fine, but in fact, their self has already been damaged, and this damaged part is extremely easy to be invaded and filled by external pollution. So... the disasters and horrors of beasts, weirdness, transformation, etc., that have occurred for hundreds of years, those monsters, those indescribable strange things, they were actually all humans originally!"

"...They were people just like me!!"

When Wu Pifu saw this, his eyes narrowed.

Another non-human civilization!

Just like that alchemy civilization, they were all such trash!

Wu Pifu continued to read and found that the text above began to become sloppy, as if the original owner was very excited when writing.

"...I originally thought that the salvage of ordinary people was the greatest evil I could imagine, but I was wrong. They, those powerful figures, those high-level officials, they are not human at all!!"

Wu Pifu murmured, "Right, they are not human, so don't use the idea of recognizing humans to recognize them. This kind of non-human doesn't know pain, doesn't know joy, doesn't know good... they are things..."

"...Symbol! I know what the so-called symbol is, and from my comrades, I also know about the Garden of God, the Last Supper, they... they are simply more terrifying than the most terrifying monsters, disgusting demons!!"

"...The salvage, matching, and ritual of transcendent characteristics, all their effects are for one's own evolution and strengthening. But very quickly, transcendents, powerful figures, they discovered that this strengthening has a limit. The limit is the realm they have just explored, known as the Ascender. Further up, they have no way to go. At the same time, even if they want to continue to become stronger at the Ascender stage, it is extremely difficult."

"...The essence of the self is only so much. Absorbing the essence (transcendent characteristics) obtained from other sentient lives is equivalent to adding external accessories to one's own essence. More and more accessories lead to their own essence being completely changed. They discovered that if they continue, then they will become 'neither life nor object'. They will be lost, they will be distorted, and they will be unable to carry the load, leading to destruction."

"...But how could they be willing? So they have continuously wanted to find a solution for these hundreds of years. Finally, they obtained a method of reference from the Holy Spiritual Grand Mentor... They want to create a collective consciousness of all humanity, and then use this collective consciousness to completely replace the entire heaven and earth universe!"

"...Ascender-level transcendents, their spiritual consciousness has already become incredibly powerful, thereby producing the so-called 'domain'. This domain is actually the overwriting and rewriting of the material world by their heart-image. This is also the most special and powerful point of our civilization. As long as you stand in the domain, you stand invincible, unless there is a clash of the same domain."

"...Their idea is very simple. Through the integration of the heart-images of all humanity, the so-called six major symbols—mountain, river, city, forest, wilderness, starry sky—are actually the collection of ordinary human cognitive concepts for this world. From a mystical perspective, the six major symbols can encompass all the spiritual consciousness of a human. When the six major symbols are gathered, the hearts of all humanity will be completely opened, and then turned into an unprecedented heart-image. And this heart-image is powerful enough to replace the world. The name of the replaced world is... the Garden of God!"

"...And then, they... powerful figures, high-level officials, transcendents, they will use their spiritual consciousness, which far exceeds that of ordinary people, to maintain the independence of their self-personality. When the Garden of God descends, they will divide and eat the 'God', this huge heart-image that has gathered the six major symbols and can encompass and replace the world. And then, they will become true, supreme gods, and all humanity..."

"Will be together with them!!"
