Chapter 606: Absurd

This is fucking too miserable.

Zhang Tie curled his lips, unable to help sighing that the wild humans in this world are really unlucky.

His eyes blinked, and he couldn't help but ask:

"That Lin Dui, what happened afterwards?"

"What happened to those people of the technological civilization?"

Lin An listened, fell silent for a moment, and while walking, he said:

"It's very simple."

"After they withdrew, they closed the passage between the main world and this place."

"And with the last bit of kindness and hope."

"They set it so that after all humans in the Secret Realm die, it automatically shuts down and restarts, retaining only the control hub."

"And they left behind a complete set of standard technology trees."

"The remaining technology level is roughly comparable to the real world, but much technology is missing, and no higher-level technology was left behind."

"I guess the withdrawing technological civilization might have thought the resources in this Secret Realm were too scarce, and even leaving some technology would be impossible to master."

"Simply, they only left the basic technology tree for the former 'monkeys'."

"They hoped that the 'monkeys' here, facing the apocalypse disaster in each restart, could find a path of hope using the most ordinary technology."

"In a sense, this place can also be considered the last spark of their civilization."

"This is also why the humans of this world have many non-ancient terms in their language habits."

"Moreover, the identity of the 'monkey' is judged as a visitor..."

He paused for a moment, and Lin An sighed.

"Because everyone in the main world is dead..."

"The 'monkey' is also considered human."

A wistful light laugh, mixed feelings.

"Because in my speculation, it was originally thought that the first ascetic practitioner was a person from our world, but that is wrong."

"The true reason for his despair is that he comes from that advanced technological civilization."

"After his mother civilization encountered an unstoppable apocalypse catastrophe, he fled to the Secret Realm."

"He fled to this 'zoo'."

Footsteps echoed.

Xiong Hanzi, following behind, listened to Lin An's narration while rubbing the smooth metal assembly line.

He was somewhat surprised.

"Another doomsday game?"

After that, Lin An continued his narration at a leisurely pace:

"The first ascetic practitioner should have lived a peaceful life here in the Secret Realm for a long time."

"He even formed a family with the 'monkeys' here and had children."

"But he never expected."

"Although it looks like a utopia-like Secret Realm world, it actually also experiences an apocalypse disaster."

"Perhaps it was due to family responsibility, or perhaps he had grown attached to this world. This time, he did not flee."

"In the disaster, as the first ascetic practitioner struggled, after exhausting everything he tried to change all tragic fates."

"But the laughable thing is, after entering the corpse tide, he discovered that this world's disaster was actually a contagion from his own civilization."

"And it was set to eternal reincarnation..."

"You say he is not desperate at all?"

After hearing this, Xiong Hanzi smacked his lips and unconsciously sighed.

"That's pretty damn desperate..."

"If it were me, I'd be so angry I'd go crazy..."

Lin An smiled and patted his shoulder:

"For the first ascetic practitioner...."

"Going out, there is no hope."

"Staying here, there is also no hope."

"In despair, relying on his human identity from the main world and the transcendent power of the ascetic practitioner, he forcibly replaced the constantly erupting zombie disaster."

"So he would use his own child as a vessel, turning into a blood corpse."

"His bloodline is higher than the status of the wild 'monkey'."

"This is the only way he could think of to delay the disaster."

"Of course, this is also why I can inherit control of this place."

"Blood corpse disguise... the system gave me and him the same identity."

"Humans are visitor level, while blood corpses are administrator level..."

"That's somewhat absurd."

After hearing this, Zhang Tie frowned and tentatively asked the final question:

"Ah, that's not right, Lin Dui."

"Since this guy inherited the administrator level, why not forcibly close the time loop?"

"I get what you mean, you and him both want me to shut it down?"

"In the system's judgment, I'm at most an error; you all can't shut it down, so what gives me the right to shut it down?"

Lin An glanced at Zhang Tie with some surprise.

Rarely, Xiong Hanzi asked a normal question.

"Mm."

"Actually, I haven't finished yet."

Nodding his head, Lin An replied lightly:

"In fact, with the administrator rank inherited from the first Ascetic Practitioner, it was originally possible to shut down the cycle."

"But, do you still remember me saying that something went wrong in this world?"

"It is precisely because of this error that the cycle system cannot be shut down."

"'And the culprit...'"

"It's the sandworm wave also many..."

"This brainless worm dug its way all the way from the first Ascetic Practitioner's Mother World to the Secret Realm World, and then bored a hole from the Secret Realm World."

"It escaped into our world...."

"I guess its power at its peak was probably around Third Stage peak, possibly even Fourth Stage."

"After this worm bored through the node between the main world and the small world."

"causing the main world's apocalyptic disaster to invade the Secret Realm again."

"And after this unlucky worm bored through three worlds, it experienced temporal turbulence, causing its strength to plummet."

"And this also explains two things."

"One, why the sandworm wave possesses Fourth Stage royal bloodline yet is ridiculously weak."

"Because it was also reset."

"Two, how the first Ascetic Practitioner entered our world..."

"Just as his words fell,"

"Zhang Tie gaped, never expecting the story's origin to be like this."

"This is fucking absurd, his mom opened the door to absurdity, absurdity reached home!"

"Holy shit."

"That damn worm was actually that fierce before!?"
