Eternal Night

Chapter 255 The Earth of This World!

(PS: Yesterday many friends were dissatisfied with the second update of the two-update system being at 9pm. Following their suggestions, the second update of the two-update system will be moved to 6pm in the future.

I will resume three updates tomorrow, and if there is an alliance leader, I will add one more update. I have had a good rest these two days.)
In the dream world structure that Wu Xianxiao knew, the 0.9 dream world to the 0.7 dream world were called the upper world, or the low-difficulty world.

Although the number of dream worlds he experienced was not too many, he talked and communicated with a large number of maintenance personnel in the redemption mission dream world, which allowed him to know a lot of information about the 0.9 to 0.7 dream worlds. He made judgments based on thousands of different dream worlds to confirm some rules.

The upper world is a dream world derived from human civilization as the core. Among them, the 0.9 dream world has only very few deviations, and the historical trend is almost completely consistent. Although the 0.8 and 0.7 dream worlds have larger deviations, the degree of deviation is not that exaggerated. It's just that variables of extraordinary powers are introduced into them. For example, the 0.7 dream world with the largest deviation will undergo some changes due to super life forms like the wild boar giant monster, but the overall structure remains unchanged.

However, the situation changed drastically from the Zero Point Seven Dream World to the Zero Point Six Dream World. This change came from the derivative impact of the bottom-level root-level pollutants. As a result, starting from the Zero Point Six Dream World, the historical direction, character relationships, and even extraordinary powers of the entire world are completely different from the real world. It can even be said to be a different worldview.

During the redemption mission, almost all maintenance personnel basically stayed in the 0.9 to 0.7 dream worlds, and only a very small number of elites would be involved in the 0.6 dream world, but they would only be involved in one or two at most, and they did not dare to go deeper, so the situation in the 0.6 dream world was all speculation.

"The biggest difference between the 0.6 dream world and the upper world is the gaze of root-level terror."

Youmeng was telling Wu Xianxiao all the information along the way. She walked beside Wu Xianxiao, and Jiujiu and Daphne walked on the other side. She didn't mind, and just continued: "It has been more than 600 days since you fell asleep. During the Redemption War, the maintenance personnel suffered heavy casualties. The maintenance personnel in many areas were almost cut off. But fortunately, there is the Land of Redemption. This Zero Point Nine Dream World is equivalent to the exclusive dream world of the main brain. This also allows Mr. Chu Minghao to use the Land of Redemption to help the maintenance personnel more conveniently. At the same time, he can occasionally return to Gaia to wake up those area maintenance personnel who have been cut off."

Wu Xianxiao asked curiously, "Why doesn't he just kill all the nightmares and monsters on Gaia? It shouldn't be difficult for him to kill all these monsters in one second, right?"

Youmeng smiled bitterly and shook her head, "No, it's very difficult. Mr. Chu Minghao was attacked. The remnants of the company and the People's Revolutionary League spent a huge price and used multiple singularity technologies to erase his existence from the real world. If he uses extraordinary powers in the real world, the more he uses them, the weaker the connection will be. Unless we humans awaken on a large scale and use this as his reality anchor, he will most likely be completely unable to step into the one-point zero real world."

Wu Xianxiao shook his head helplessly. This was indeed an explanation.

Youmu continued, "Because the Land of Redemption can be used as a transit station and public platform, many areas have been revived. Now there are 64,000 maintenance personnel in the world, including more than 1,000 unified government personnel, and a total of more than 2,200 citizens..."

When Wu Xianxiao heard the word "citizen", he couldn't help but sneer.

Youmu's voice paused, and she smiled bitterly. She paused before saying, "I know that Mr. Wu Xianxiao is from the 21st century. It is said that that era advocated equality for all. This is indeed a very noble ideal, but since the birth of the super brain, professional titles are necessary. Otherwise, the power of the super brain will be abused, and there are many reasons for this... But in terms of personality, we are indeed equal."

Wu Xianxiao continued to sneer, but he was too lazy to say anything more.

Youmu didn't want to dwell on this topic any more, so she skipped over it and continued, "Because personnel can be gathered and exchanged in the Land of Redemption, the reconstruction of the unified human government agency, and especially the awakening of citizen-level researchers, we have made great progress in our model of the world structure of the entire dream world. Please take a look, Mr. Wu."

Youmu raised her hand, and a virtual image appeared from the device on her arm.

There were a lot of extremely complex mathematical formulas and various arguments, which Wu Xianxiao could not understand, but he understood the images.

There is only one point at the top, marked with the word Gaia, and then an expanding cone is formed from this point downwards. At the same time, the three upper layers are bright, the three middle layers are dark, and the three largest layers at the bottom are pitch black.

Youmu said: "This is currently recognized as the most reasonable dream world model. Many researchers believe that all dream worlds are..."

"Speak the key."

Wu Xianxiao said impatiently.

Youmu choked, but still said: "From the 0.6 dream world to the 0.4 dream world, it is unlikely that the world view of the earth is round and the sky is square, and it is also unlikely that mythical world view products such as hell, heaven, or... the red lotus fire will appear."

Wu Xianxiao nodded silently.

He thought so too. It was understandable that some strange scenes appeared, but in just a 0.6 dream world, the round sky and the square earth, as well as the red lotus fire of hell and sea of ​​blood in Buddhism appeared. He really couldn't understand this kind of thing.

The most crucial thing is, according to the records in the ruins, there were people who entered the Red Lotus Karma Fire, and then returned from it. If it was really the Red Lotus Karma Fire in the Buddhist scriptures that Wu Xianxiao knew, it would be impossible for someone to just cover himself with a layer of skin. Even if it was a supernatural item made by Buddhism itself, someone could enter it with a layer of skin, and then return to write a message and then die. This is simply impossible!
Even though Wu Xianxiao felt that he was already very strong, he could not guarantee that he could survive after touching the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

The team was not moving very fast because of the untouchables' holdback, otherwise Youmu and her team members could have run at a speed of at least 80 kilometers per hour.

However, the untouchables are very familiar with this place. They lead the way along the way. Naturally, they dare not take the main road, nor dare to go to crowded farmlands and other places. According to them, the Buddhist principle will send patrols, two types of flying celestials and yakshas. The flying celestials patrol in the morning, and the yakshas patrol in the afternoon. They are all flying instruments made of the flesh and bones of sinners. The flying celestials are made of female sinners, and the yakshas are made of male sinners. "...What is the Buddhist principle?" Wu Xianxiao asked Ren Tudao.

Ren Tu frowned and thought for a moment, then he answered as he walked, "It is the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, a kind of great web brought to this world by the Arhats. However, when the Arhats preach, this web will emerge from the void, and those who can connect with this Buddhist principle can become monks. At the same time, it is said that all the instruments are supported by Buddhist principles, but we don't know the details."

Wu Xianxiao was just asking casually, but Ren Tu actually explained the reason, which surprised him greatly. He asked again: "How do you know so much?"

Ren Tu remained silent, but an untouchable beside him said, "We don't know how many years we have existed. Death repeats from generation to generation, leaving records. In a certain generation of reincarnation, an untouchable became a monk."

Wu Xianxiao and Youmeng were both surprised. They looked at the untouchable at the same time. The untouchable had a calm expression and continued, "That's an ancient relic from another city. It describes the experience of an untouchable after he became a monk. The information about the Buddhist web also comes from there. There is also a small amount of information about various instruments, Buddhist rituals, and the curse outside the city. Unfortunately, there is not much more..."

Youmu immediately said, "Why? This is such a good opportunity. We have penetrated the enemy and can obtain extraordinary power. Why don't we have more?"

Ren Tu took over the topic and said, "Because he was discovered, and then he was made into the Confession Banner by Luohan himself, a powerful magic weapon that is placed in the square of the Central Luohan Temple. Its painful howls have been heard for hundreds of years."

Youmu fell silent, along with the dozens of team members behind her.

Youmu and the others were shocked by the cruelty of this world. Even though they had experienced more than a dozen dream worlds, a dream world with such a cruel worldview was rare in their lives. Wu Xianxiao remained silent and just followed the Untouchables forward.

Time passed from noon to dusk. Everyone had a quick dinner. Both Wu Xianxiao's personal space and Meng Yao and others' personal spaces carried a lot of supplies. These were minor problems. After the sun went down, the Untouchables continued to lead the way.

Because sacrifices and magic weapon making were taking place in the city, there was no cold atmosphere outside the city. Under the moonlight, the group walked for more than six hours. During this time, these untouchables were extremely tired, but their perseverance was truly amazing. There were more than thirty people, including five women, but not one of them asked for a rest and they all gritted their teeth and persevered.

It was around two o'clock in the morning when they finally reached the edge of the continent closest to the city. When they got here, Wu Xianxiao, Youmeng and her team members had already sensed something was wrong. At the same time, the Untouchables also stopped.

Ren Tu said to Wu Xianxiao with a sad face: "Although we want to move forward, the place ahead is no longer a place we can set foot on. If we continue to move forward, the Red Lotus Karma Fire will burn us... If it were in the past, we would have died, but this time we have obtained very important information. We must return to the city to find a way to get the thangka, and then send personnel into the Red Lotus Karma Fire area for testing. We must also record this information in various ruins to prevent it from being lost after we die, so..."

Wu Xianxiao nodded in understanding, then he looked at Youmu and her teammates.

Youmu was naturally not afraid of the thing in front of her, and if it was really what she knew, then the situation in this world would be completely different immediately, so she said: "It doesn't matter, the equipment we have can defend against these!"

Wu Xianxiao looked at Jiujiu and Daphne again. He frowned and looked at them for a while before saying, "You are in danger. How about this? Youmu and I will go to the edge and you stay here."

Youmu also said to the rest of the team members, "You all stay as well."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Jiujiu and Daphne looked at each other and nodded obediently.

Wu Xianxiao then walked forward with Youmeng towards the edge of the continent ahead. Without any burden, their speed naturally increased. In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the true edge of the continent. Then, looking up, they saw a dark red color below the continent, like the flames from hell, and the entire continent was suspended or flying slowly above this dark red color.

"Nuclear radiation..." Wu Xianxiao murmured as he looked at the endless dark red.

The instruments on Youmeng kept beeping, constantly collecting data and conducting analysis. After a moment, she denied it, "No, it's not ordinary nuclear radiation. This is re-fusion-transformed super-slow nuclear radiation, which radiates almost all heavy elements including rocks, but does not undergo thermal reactions. Instead, it only uses radiation to cover an area or the entire world. Because of the chain reaction, this re-fusion-transformed super-slow nuclear radiation can cover an area or a planet for tens of thousands of years. This is the science and technology of the 26th century. When Azure was destroyed, they planned to use this technology to blockade and destroy the earth, but they were stopped by Xu Shihan, the commander of the Earth Defense Force. Otherwise, humans would have been extinct by then."

"so……"

Wu Xianxiao and Youmeng both thought of a possibility at the same time, but they couldn't figure out why.

"This is Earth. It's not a worldview where the sky is round and the earth is flat. The ancient human civilization in this world released super-slow nuclear radiation, covering the entire Earth with this radiation layer. What secrets did they hide in this land covered with radiation?"

"But what is it that the human civilization at the time when technology was the most advanced could not use, or could not defeat the supernatural beings, but the people hundreds or even thousands of years later could use and defeat the foreign supernatural beings?"

The two of them were lost in thought for a moment, and in front of them, endless dark red rose from the ground, as if it was really the red lotus fire from hell.
