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

Chapter 375 The case is solved

"It was a deception and a betrayal."

The ancient remnant spirit He Ruli sighed softly:
“No conscious body can resist the erosion of time. Where there is birth, there is an end.

"After the war, I was the only one left, looking at this withered city, corpses all over the ground, and two civilizations that had completely collapsed..."

Wang Jixuan suddenly asked: "Two?"

"Yes, the powerful civilization outside the star field also suffered a great loss of strength due to this invasion and came to their end."

Hearing this answer, Taoist Wang suddenly laughed.

Wang Jixuan looked at He Ruli and said slowly:
"You know, lying comes in different forms, but telling the truth can also send the wrong message, like telling half the story.

“The fall of this ancient civilization does not seem to be just due to foreign invasion and the opposition’s coup.

"Let me think... This was your home planet during your heyday. You were eventually forced to hide the Cloud City... Are there any rebels?
"At the height of your civilization, there were only a few million people. It was impossible to rule such a large territory with such a population. You did the same thing as the spiritual civilization, herding planets and ruling other weaker civilizations.

"Your final decline was caused by your heavy losses in the war between the opposition and foreign invasion, and then the various ethnic groups took the opportunity to revolt.

"I have read the history of spiritual civilizations. They have a history of hundreds of thousands of years. The first group of spiritual practitioners madly retaliated against civilizations in various places, probably to avenge your demise.

"Did I say something wrong?"

He Ruli nodded slowly: "Master Pioneer is not wrong, but there is nothing wrong with me attributing the destruction of civilization to that decisive battle."

"This kind of civilization is not considered advanced."

Wang Jixuan shook his head, his face showing some regret.

He Ruli's expression became noticeably gloomy.

"It will do you no good to irritate me," He Ruli whispered.

Wang Jixuan smiled but said nothing.

His eyes flickered slightly.

In that war initiated by foreign enemies and the opposition, the opposition should have won, so what was the fate of him as a pioneer?
It seems that the sculpture outside, which is leaning over and no one is supporting it, has already explained it all.

Wang Jixuan simply said, "You took the trouble to plan and patiently explain this to us. You must have some intention towards me. You tried to make me understand you... There is no benefit in angering me."

There was a hint of helplessness in He Ruli's eyes: "Every time I communicate with you, it's so frustrating."

"This is all thanks to you," Wang Jixuan pointed at his forehead, "Originally, I was just a naive little cultivator who believed in love and justice, but you forced me to become this great demon king."

The corners of He Ruli's mouth kept twitching: "But from the classics and civilization memories I know, this seems to be your true nature."

"Impossible, I am a righteous monk."

"You had a ridiculous experience after failing to impact the heavenly tribulation."

He Ruli couldn't help laughing:

“At that time, in order to please you, we prepared for you a dozen of the most beautiful and pure women of our race. You spent a wonderful ten years with them, and gradually gained strength.

"Your name at that time was the Wanderer of the Three Realms, and later you called yourself Wang Jixuan."

Amina turned her head and glared at Wang Jixuan.

Taoist Wang raised his hand and scratched his forehead.

No wonder;
Ling Tong, a girl from the Fortress Era, was amazed at how many tricks he knew.

"Let's get back to the point," Wang Jixuan said, "Let's start from the first time they came into contact with you. Did you give them the Bliss Sky Curtain technology?"

He Ruli shook her head.

She sighed softly, and became a little depressed. She whispered:

“Our civilization is not just a relic of the Cloud City.

“The rebels plundered this beautiful planet, and our bases on other planets were also looted.

“In the end, only tens of thousands of people retreated to the Cloud City, and they were all women. The rebels killed all of our men.

"We tried to reproduce asexually, but the genes were collapsing. We induced male reproductive cells, but civilization was shrinking.

"We hid in the Cloud City and lingered for thousands of years. At that time, the core circuits we released had not yet fully functioned, and the spiritual civilization was still in its embryonic stage, but we could no longer sustain it.

"I held on to the end. I used every method I could think of, including creating a man, but the final result was still destruction.

"I sacrificed my soul to this city that can last forever."

Amina asked: "You have the power of time, but you can't achieve parthenogenesis?"

"It's not us who have mastered the power of time," He Ruli looked at Wang Jixuan, "it's the Pioneer. The Pioneer didn't share the principles of this technology with us."

Wang Jixuan leaned back.

no;

Am I so powerful?
Shouldn't the Avenue of Time be something that only immortals can comprehend?

He Ruli finally got to the point.

She whispered:

"After I sacrificed myself, my consciousness remained in a state of confusion, on the verge of collapse at any moment, until one day... according to the calculation method of human civilization on the surface, it was probably more than 7,000 years ago. I heard a call, and it was the call of the core circuit.

“I thought the spiritual practitioner we created had finally discovered this place.

“Knowing that our civilization could not survive, we placed our hopes on converting the spiritual seekers to become us.

"I responded to the call of this spiritual practitioner, gave him guidance, and brought him here. He took away some technology and promised to take it upon himself to revive civilization.

"The Bliss Sky Curtain technology was taken away by this spiritual practitioner at that time."

Wang Jixuan asked: "What kind of Posha is this spiritual practitioner?"

"No," He Ruli shook her head. "The first person who came into contact with us was a man. His name was Obsidian."

"Obsidian?" Nelda Tamon frowned tightly.

"Your acquaintance?"

"An mortal enemy," Nilda Tamon whispered, "He is a wanted criminal in our civilization."

He Ruli continued, "About a thousand years later, Hei Yao brought six spiritual practitioners. The Posa you mentioned was also here. They took away the second batch of technology and really brought thousands of souls."

"Soul?" Wang Jixuan asked, "Did you ask for their souls?"

He Ruli lowered her head and sighed: "Yes, the Clouds can produce all kinds of energy, but there is only one kind of energy that cannot be created, and that is the power of the soul of intelligent life."

"What do you want a soul for?"

"Let myself hold on for a while longer, and by the way, awaken the sleeping pioneer soul."

Wang Jixuan was silent. He Ruli said, "I am an opponent. The demise of civilization is due to our opposition. This makes me feel extremely guilty. The only way to save our civilization is to ask the great pioneer to lead us again."

Amina asked, "Have you told Hei Yao and Po Su about this?"

"Yes," He Ruli said, "I trusted them immensely at the time, and I took them to see where you were."

"Excuse me," Wang Jixuan asked, "Can I know what I suffered back then? I remember you once said that the Wanderer of the Three Realms broke through the void and went to other worlds."

"That was a lie on my part because I couldn't explain it to you at the time."

He Ruli apologized:

“In fact, the reason why we, the opposition, dare to join forces with foreign enemies to start a war is ultimately because of your weakness.

“After leading us for a long time, you have returned to the peak of the Mahayana stage again.

"You tried to tear apart time and space at that time. You used the method we used to summon you here to open the barrier of time and space and return to your own world. We were extremely grateful to you and then started the experiment.

“But the world revealed by the opened space-time barrier is not your original world of cultivation.

“You were greatly disappointed, but you did not go to that strange world. Instead, you began to prepare for the immortal tribulation here... You failed.

“Second failure.

"You made sufficient preparations. Although you failed this time, you were not killed by the heavenly tribulation. However, your Dao body and cultivation were mostly destroyed. You fell into self-doubt and quickly collapsed. Only a wisp of soul remained of you, and you fell into an eternal sleep.

“And your failure has completely formed the thinking of our opposition.

"Whether it is collective or individual ascension, it is something that can only be hoped for but not achieved. Our civilization has reached a bottleneck. So we should increase the breadth of civilization instead of pursuing the height of civilization. We should focus on the interests and rights of each individual in civilization and strive to improve our own cultural heritage.

“That’s about it.

"And your followers, that is, most individuals in our civilization, have already been unable to extricate themselves from the path of pursuing individual ascension."

Wang Jixuan said pertinently: "In fact, the ideas of you oppositionists are not bad either."

He Ruli closed the book of civilization.

Wang Jixuan roughly sorted out the timeline.

[The Ina civilization tried to use energy to open the barrier of time and space. He failed to survive and fell from the void, becoming the pioneer of the Ina civilization;
He shared a bunch of tips on cultivating immortality, and the Ina civilization began to transform;
He recovered to his peak and returned to the Mahayana stage, but failed to break through the heavenly tribulation. His self-will weakened and his remaining soul fell into a deep sleep.

Internal divisions arose in the Ina civilization, and his failure led to the rise of opposition, which eventually turned into war;
The opposition invited the wolf into the house, the Ina civilization suffered a heavy blow, and the opposition ideology took the lead;

The tribes ruled by the Ina civilization revolted, the Ina civilization was destroyed, and the Cloud City hid. 】

For spiritual seekers:

[Seven thousand years ago, a scum spiritual practitioner named Obsidian arrived here and took away a batch of technology.

Six thousand years ago, Hei Yao and his companions arrived here for the second time, took away the second batch of technology, and learned about the existence of the so-called pioneer, Wang Jixuan. 】

"What's next?" Wang Jixuan asked, "Tell me about Hei Yao and his accomplices."

"Yes," He Ruli said naturally using a respectful tone.

She whispered, "I have absorbed the power of the soul brought by Obsidian. I have used this power for three purposes. One is to keep me stable, one is to try to wake up the pioneers and leaders of the Sleeping Palace, and the other is to replenish the sleeping great pioneers."

He Ruli lowered her head and sighed:
“Hei Yao and his team participated in the entire process.

"I did not tell them the history of civilization because I was afraid they would have evil intentions towards this city, and I deliberately exaggerated your glory.

“I told them that he was the pioneer who led the Ina civilization to glory. He was not a life form from this world, but came from a world of immortal cultivation. His technology was the origin of the psychic technology of our Ina civilization.

“If Ina civilization is the father of spiritual civilization, then he is your grandfather.

“Then I noticed that they showed a lot of interest in you.

"After that, they kept coming here once every thousand years, and sent over a hundred thousand souls of intelligent beings. I also regained some strength because of this."

Amina, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Is the way they got here to release their core circuits?"

"Yes," He Ruli said, "With my guidance and mark, they released the core circuit, and the core circuit can reach here."

Amina asked again, "The last time there was only one spiritual practitioner?"

"Well," He Ruli said, "the last person to arrive here was the Po Su you mentioned. This is her third time here, and she also brought soul energy that can sustain my thinking. So although I was puzzled as to why she came alone, I didn't suspect anything at first."

"How long ago was that?" Wang Jixuan asked.

"Twenty-six years and three months ago."

He Ruli said: "Afterwards, she stayed here for a few months, always wandering outside the palace where the Pioneer was sleeping. I asked her about it, and she excitedly said that she could hear the Pioneer's call, and then... she suddenly attacked me boldly, but I easily defeated her with the power of the Cloud City. But what I didn't expect was that she actually chose to commit suicide."

"Suicide?"

"Yes," He Ruli closed her eyes, "She shattered her own core circuit, using a technology that she once brought out from here... I still can't forget the smile she showed when she was on the verge of death. That smile was extremely strange and ironic."

He Ruli was silent for half a minute, seemingly trying to calm herself down.

"After that, her soul entered the Pioneer's deep sleep, and the entire Cloud City began to tremble continuously, and the operation of the formations in various places was hindered.

“She’s like a virus, a plague.

"She tried to seize control of the city, but I stopped her. I was almost exhausted, and just as I was weakened, three meteors left.

"The soul of the great pioneer, the leader I awakened, and the soul of the madman left the Cloud City at the same time."

Wang Jixuan asked, "Twenty-six years ago?"

"Probably."

The Taoist priest suddenly lost his composure.

If we include the ten months of human pregnancy, that’s about the same number;

Mu Liang is actually him, but when Mu Liang committed suicide, his memories of his past life began to awaken.

Wang Jixuan has always been confused;

He, Gao Huating and Ye Zi appeared in a fortress at the same time. Was it a coincidence or some kind of arrangement?
Now the case has finally been solved.

Now, Wang Jixuan had only one thing in his mind, which was why after he woke up this time, his memories did not include the part about Ina civilization and the Wanderer of the Three Realms.

However, the answer should be around the corner.

Wang Jixuan stood up and said directly: "Take me to the place where I used to sleep."

He Ruli's eyes flickered slightly.

"This is the order from the pioneer," Wang Jixuan looked down.

He Ruli's eyes dodged, she lowered her head and said, "Yes."
