In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 374 The Book of Civilization
'Boring.'

Wang Jixuan floated out of the black air, and the rolling black air returned to his surroundings in an instant.

The style of the righteous monks soon returned.

Nilda frowned, but as a spiritual practitioner, he knew nothing about the practice of cultivation. At this moment, he did not forget the alliance between the two and strictly fulfilled their covenant.

Just as Wang Jixuan was about to enter, Amina and Nilda Tamon spoke almost at the same time.

"Don't worry yet!"

"There's something..."

Amina raised her hand to invite him: "You first."

"Well," Nildathamon looked towards the palace and was about to use the psychic circuit to transmit his voice, but when he thought that this was the origin of all the core circuits, he simply gave up this little trick that might fail.

He said directly:

“I saw some magazines in the detention room, and on the middle page of each magazine, there was your portrait and quote.

“They call you the Great Pioneer.

"That should be you."

Then, Nilda stared at Wang Jixuan's face, wanting to see how surprised and astonished he looked.

But the strong man was soon disappointed.

Wang Jixuan just nodded calmly and bowed to Nilda.

"Thanks for letting me know."

Nilda was a little confused.

Wasn't he shocked at all by the news?
Is it that the shock threshold of these spiritual practitioners is too low?
Amina came to Wang Jixuan's side and warned him carefully: "It is better to avoid conflict after entering. Our purpose is to find out the truth and solve the crisis on Earth."

"Okay," Taoist Wang nodded in agreement.

He laughed and said, "Do you think I'm a young man who can't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant? I was just weighing the weapons here."

"Well, you looked like you were going to fight to the death just now."

"What you can't get back on the battlefield, you can't get back at the negotiation table."

Wang Jixuan explained briefly:
"Without the determination and attitude to burn your boats, no matter how strong your strength is, it will only be a facade."

Amina nodded slightly and said nothing more.

She believed that Wang Jixuan knew what was going on.

"Come with me, I've been here twice and I know where she is."

Amina called out and took the two of them to the central hall at the same time.

Wang Jixuan turned around and shouted, "You guys can just wander around here! Don't get into conflict with the drones!"

Responses came from Wu Man and others in the distance.

Their spiritual consciousness was suppressed, and they were unable to make any sound. At this moment, they could only shout at the top of their lungs.

Communication is basically done by shouting.

In the palace, the remnant spirit of the 'bamboo pole' with long arms and a long neck knelt quietly, with three cushions placed in front of it.

There are reliefs on all four sides of this hall that look like the slate walls of the spiritualist's subspace. The little halos emanating from them are constantly dancing, making this place look like a fairyland on earth.

Wang Jixuan and the other two landed in front of the hall.

The ancient remnant stood up, crossed his hands in front of his chest, bowed his head and saluted slowly.

"Great pioneer, welcome back."

Wang Jixuan ignored the spiritual practitioners on both sides, snorted coldly, and walked into the hall with his hands behind his back.

He said calmly: "Do you have any truth in your mouth?"

"From now on, everything I say will only be the truth."

"You're just like old Sophie, your mouth is full of lies."

"This is not the same," the ancient remnant soul sighed, "If I hadn't lied to you and tricked you into coming here, I would have completely lost the chance to let you enter the Cloud City. You have already left this civilization, although this is something we don't want to see."

She paused and said softly:
"Besides, I have no motive to lie now. In the Cloud City, neither you, Amina, nor this reckless man can leave without my permission.

“Please let us have a frank conversation in peace.

"No matter what the outcome of our conversation is, as compensation for deceiving you to come here, I will open the planetary barrier to protect the human world on the surface and also protect this place from being invaded by the despicable blade beasts."

Wang Jixuan nodded.

They come, the security.

Isn't that why he came here?

Wang Jixuan walked into the hall with a smile.

The reckless man behind, whose name was not even worthy of being mentioned, had a face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Nilda felt despised, even ignored.

"Sit down."

……

The sound of a piano could be heard from the corner of the hall, and a gentle male voice humming could be heard from far and near.

Wang Jixuan sat cross-legged opposite the ancient remnant spirit;

Amina sat elegantly with her legs crossed, while Nilda Tammon imitated Wang Jixuan and sat cross-legged.

“Great pioneer, you can call me He Ruli, which is the transliteration of my name.

"Now, if you have any questions, you can ask me."

Wang Jixuan shook his head: "I don't want to be a question machine, saying what you know and can tell us."

The ancient remnant spirit He Ruli frowned slightly, as if she couldn't make sense of anything.

After a few minutes, she said slowly:
“You have found clues in two places in the city, so there is no point in me hiding it.

“As you can see, this civilization, which perished six hundred thousand planetary revolutions ago, once received your guidance, and with the nourishment of the technology you shared, a psychic civilization was born.

“Half of everything here comes from your selfless sharing.”

"Selfless?" Wang Jixuan laughed awkwardly, "I don't really believe it."

"You mean?"

“The Dharma is not passed on lightly,” Wang Jixuan said, “Even if I don’t have the memory of my contact with you now, my principles as a human being remain unchanged. I don’t believe I will easily pass on the sect’s Dharma to you.”

He Ruli was silent.

She whispered, "But the fact is, you did share."

“What did I share?”

“You have given us countless guidance.”

He Ruli sighed softly:

“You will find out the details when you enter our core library later.

"But I must admit that you have changed our civilization and have had a profound impact on it."

Wang Jixuan said calmly: "Then, my sculpture just lies there?"

He Ruli fell silent again.

Amina reminded: "You said that there is no need to deceive us now. You have already gained an absolute advantage in strength."

Nilda Thamon said:

“I know clearly that the quality of an individual cannot represent the achievements of a civilization.

“But, I’m sorry.

"You've made me lose a lot of respect for the mother of our spiritual civilization."

He Ruli's gaze became sharper and more majestic.

Nilda Tamon smiled indifferently.

"Because, a rebellion."

He Ruli briefly explained:
“This is the scar and the dark side of our civilization, and I don’t want to go into detail.

“Specifically, some opponents believe that we are obsessed with pursuing individual advancement, which goes against the original intention of our civilization construction.

"This is a very complicated issue. If you would allow me, could you please let me start from the beginning?"

"Then let's make a long story short."

Wang Jixuan said calmly:

"Please don't start from the beginning of the universe. I'm afraid the blade beasts will attack you by the time you finish."

"There's no need to start from the Big Bang. That's too far away."

He Ruli raised her hand and a golden book slowly spread out in front of her. Her face became more pious, and she whispered in a language that Wang Jixuan could understand:

“This is the book of our civilization, and please allow me to introduce it to you in the necessary historical context.

“Our civilization calls itself Ina.

“In the language of our home planet, this means beauty and harvest.

“We have lived in the universe for a long time, and have received the kindness of advanced civilizations, as well as the malice from higher planes.

"Our civilization has experienced rise and fall, and finally, after 120,000 orbits of our parent star, we have become a Level 2 civilization.

“We can carry out stellar-level colonization and exploration.

"At this time, we have a great opportunity, which is to obtain the seeds of hope left by an advanced civilization that has completed self-ascension.

"Our civilization began to develop rapidly. We mastered technologies that far exceeded those of our current civilization level, namely interstellar space jump technology. The interstellar gates you see now are an evolution of our technology back then."

He Ruli sighed softly.

Her words were more helpless;

The book of civilization in front of her also began to turn pages continuously.

Hundreds of thousands of years of development followed.

This period of time measured in tens of thousands of years is just like a speck of dust compared to the size of the universe.

With the technology left behind by a successful ascended advanced civilization, the Ina civilization developed rapidly and soon occupied a star field with a total of tens of thousands of star systems and hundreds of Earth-like planets suitable for the survival of carbon-based intelligent life.

The development of Ina civilization soon encountered barriers.

The barriers come from time, space, and the "disallowance" of advanced civilizations.

The range of the star field they control can no longer be expanded. After a long time, the exploration ships they send out can discover habitable planets and even low-level civilizations, but they cannot establish space jump channels.

This is a shackle that civilization needs to break through through self-development and innovation.

The Ina civilization entered a period of stagnation that lasted for hundreds of thousands of years.

After the entire civilization had tried several ideas for collective ascension but suffered tragic failures, some of their individuals had begun to degenerate.

At this time, Ina Wenming made an important decision.

“We didn’t give up.”

He Ruli opened the book of civilization in front of her and narrated calmly:

“In previous attempts, we have vaguely glimpsed the space and time where advanced civilizations exist.

“We need guidance from a higher civilization.

“So, we gathered our resources, prepared for thousands of years, gathered the energy of dozens of stars, and used space superposition technology to try to open a gap in the space-time barrier, asking advanced civilizations to show us the way.

"The pioneers of civilization at that time had gone crazy. They were willing to sacrifice everything if they could get a glimpse of the advanced civilization and that time and space.

"The experiment went smoothly, and we used pure energy to blast open the barrier of time and space.

"But at the other end of the gap, there is only a deep void, endless darkness, and energy fluctuations that we cannot understand or detect."

He Ruli pursed her lips:
“These energies began to invade the space we were in, and we soon discovered that these energies were not violent and did not seem to be aggressive at all.

“The universe cannot be more or less than one gram.

"Otherwise, it will inevitably lead to local collapse and thus overall collapse.

"The pioneers at the time were panicking, thinking they had made a huge mistake, but before they could shut down the experiment, a man fell through the cracks."

Wang Jixuan frowned tightly.

He Ruli looked over, with endless tenderness and respect in her eyes.

"That's you."

"I?"

"Yes, your body was crumbling, and you were still shouting these three syllables - thief God!"

He Ruli smiled:

“You later told us that this was cursing the gods of the higher planes.

"You suffered a fatal injury. We tried everything we could, but we couldn't stop your body from breaking down. At the time, you and our pioneers didn't speak the same language, and we couldn't understand each other.

“You only told us what you did later.

"You took the initiative to dissolve your body and your cultivation, and your soul entered the body of a recently deceased human being, and transformed this body into your own appearance.

"The book of civilization uses the term 'second contact with a high-level civilization' to describe this encounter with you."

Wang Jixuan: ...

He failed to survive the tribulation and should have died, but this civilization somehow opened the barrier of time and space and pulled him out?
Eh?
"Is the gap you opened still there?" Wang Jixuan asked, "Where did you open it? Is there still a spot now?"

"This is a secret of our civilization."

He Ruli shook her head slightly:
“I can’t tell you that, except to say that we have addressed the threat.

“If you can regain your memory, you will naturally understand this.

"At that time, you called yourself the Wanderer of the Three Realms. We still use this title today."

After saying that, He Ruli turned another page of the book of civilization in front of her.

She continued:

“The pioneers are delighted by your arrival.

"In just a few hundred years, our civilization has undergone tremendous changes. Psychic energy has begun to emerge. All the technologies you have shared with us are so magical, using another path to achieve individual ascension.

“Almost all the pioneers could not refuse individual ascension.

“But as you taught, not everyone has the qualifications and talent to become an immortal cultivator.

“And among our civilization, very few individuals can become immortal cultivators.

“That’s how the opposition was born.

“The opposition believes that our civilization is sick and on the wrong track.

"The pioneers believe that collective ascension has been judged to have failed. If a civilization wants to advance, it needs more than just energy and population. If all individuals in a civilization ascend, isn't that a form of collective ascension?
“The promotion of psychic energy is carried out against the backdrop of quarrels.

“After hundreds of years of quarrels, under your guidance, we have begun to attempt to develop universal psychic technology.

"This is the cloud city in front of you, as well as the core circuit and psionic circuit that came later."

Universal, spiritual development...

Wang Jixuan leaned back slightly.

These guys almost managed to get through this road?
Wang Jixuan asked, "What about what I saw in Xiao Hua Ting's memory, where comets fell from the sky and a large number of flaming giants appeared?"

"That was the rebellion."

He Ruli sighed:
"The rebellion was launched by the opposition and powerful enemies outside the star field. At that time, the opposition was almost opposing for the sake of opposition.

“Our civilization has suffered heavy casualties in this rebellion.

“I forgot to tell you that the population of our civilization in each period was not too large, probably only a few million. This cloud city is our paradise.

“In times of crisis, we released our research results and created the current spiritual civilization.

"Then, our civilization quickly collapsed. This was the site of a decisive battle between the opposition and us. After the war, the city repaired itself here."

Wang Jixuan suddenly understood and said with a smile: "So, you are one of the opposition?"

He Ruli frowned slightly.

Wang Jixuan's eyes were like swords:
“You are not Xiao Hua Ting’s previous life.

“Xiao Hua Ting is indeed from your civilization, but she should have been one of the rulers back then, and was also responsible for guiding the souls of the dead, so her status in the civilization is definitely not low.

“And you…

"There is a subtle mismatch between you and Xiao Hua Ting. No matter how you disguise yourself, this sense of disharmony always exists. When you left Xiao Hua Ting's body, the feeling I had at that time was extremely clear.

"You are a burden to Xiao Hua Ting. There is no sign of you two getting along at all."

He Ruli nodded slowly: "I really admire the insight of the great pioneer."

Amina had already frowned and pursed her lips, her face looking a little annoyed.

He Ruli said calmly: "There is no winner in the end of the war. The powerful enemy took the opportunity to completely defeat us, and I, the opponent who was exiled by them, became the last survivor of this civilization."

She sighed:
“The opposition is not a mob, we are just marginalized people who were driven away and squeezed out by them.

"Emine, you should feel the same way, right?"

Amina did not answer.

Wang Jixuan said, "Don't change the subject. What happened next? I want to hear the part about Posha."

He Ruli turned to the last page of the Book of Civilization, and her expression became somewhat uncertain.
