Eternal Night

Chapter 479: Detailed Description of the Lost Alchemical Civilization
“…Alchemical civilization was originally a purely technological civilization.”

Alchemist Victor sat in front of Wu Xianxiao. He had some metal structures on his body, but was generally in human form, and did not have any twisted or mutated organs. He was the best candidate chosen by the alchemical civilization and the one with the least loss.

Compared with other forces, the Alchemy Civilization really has nothing to show for itself.

The Zhenwu lineage can provide a technique that is perfectly suited to Wu Xianxiao's path, and most importantly, it is the sexual technique that completes his missing system. Of course, intelligence is also indispensable.

The demon clan has already obtained a specific quota, and it seems that the demon clan is also very generous. They have unlocked the seal on Su Huangyin's martial arts. As long as they go to the outside world, they can open it to Wu Xianxiao according to the truth they have obtained.

Then there is Samara, the god of natural purity, and Vesperion Starfall. I won’t mention these either, as they have already secured their places.

After them are the Red Priests and the Mist Walkers, both of which are completely remnants of a lost civilization. However, even though they are remnants of a lost civilization, the civilizations, extraordinary paths, and strengths they represent far exceed those of the alchemical civilization.

The magic potion civilization represented by the Red Priest focuses on spirituality in its extraordinary path. It achieves a complete transformation from body to mind to soul by mixing spiritual substances and completing spiritual rituals. It is an extremely rare comprehensive extraordinary path that adapts to body, mind, and soul. There are twenty-eight extraordinary paths from the first level to the ninth level. It was extremely powerful before it was lost. It is said that there are three lost roots of this civilization, but because it is lost, no one knows whether it is true or not.

However, in terms of strength, lost information, and the extraordinary means that can be given to Wu Xianxiao, the potion civilization represented by the Red Priest is many times superior to the alchemy civilization.

In addition to the Red Priests, the Mist Walkers come from the Mist Civilization.

The Misty Civilization is also a lost civilization, and a very, very ancient one at that. It is said that during the Real Era when its civilization existed, the Heavenly Court was not only still functioning normally, it was one of the few sources of intelligence that retained its roots, and it was also the boss who presided over everything as it fought against the source of pollution.

At the same time, the Mist Civilization involves multiple lost civilizations and their roots, such as the Ancient Gods, the completely lost Outer Gods, and even the dramatic changes in the demon race, the Old Testament angels and the New Testament angels, as well as two or three other lost roots, which may be related to the Mist Civilization.

In comparison, the fact that the Alchemical Civilization was able to obtain a place was really beyond the expectations of many forces in the forbidden zone, and the Alchemical Civilization was also very grateful. Therefore, unlike other civilizations that needed to leave this place and reveal the extraordinary ways and intelligence information only after obtaining the truth, the Alchemical Civilization decided to tell Wu Xianxiao everything now.

Wu Xianxiao was naturally interested in alchemical civilization, so he invited Victor to set up tea in the room and sit down for a good chat.

Victor said, "Because the alchemical civilization has been lost, any information recorded on the carrier will disappear, so it can only be remembered and passed on by word of mouth through sentient beings. Moreover, as the loss continues, a lot of things will be forgotten. Since I have a high resistance to loss, my memory is still comprehensive... But I still cannot recall the whole picture. Please forgive me, sir."

Wu Xianxiao shook his head and said, "Don't be so reserved. Let's continue talking."

Victor nodded and said, "Alchemical civilization was once a pure technological civilization. As far as I can remember, alchemical civilization was born on a planet with land, oceans, and stars in the sky. Too much of its initial history has been lost. The source of all alchemical civilizations appeared in the double-slit interference experiment."

"...Double-slit interference experiment? Quantum?" Wu Xianxiao's face was full of confusion, and he exclaimed.

Victor nodded and said, "Yes, at that time, the alchemical civilization was not yet called alchemical, so it is unclear what kind of civilization it was. In short, it was a standard, growing technological civilization. All this normality changed after the double-slit interference experiment... In the entire population, there are about one in a hundred thousand people who can achieve the secondary observer effect through their thoughts."

Wu Xianxiao naturally knew quantum theory. Although he was not familiar with it, he knew the general idea. Because of this, he understood the terrible meaning of Victor's words even more.

According to the scientific basis of quantum theory, at the microscopic level of matter, all quantum causes and effects and things are uncertain and in the so-called superposition state of wave function. Only when there is an observer will the wave function collapse and form an established fact. The presence or absence of an observer may lead to changes in the results.

If it is derived, the observer may determine the cause and effect, or even ignore the reversal of cause and effect in time, because at the quantum level, time is irrelevant, such as the double-slit interference delay experiment. If there is really a secondary observer effect that can be achieved by thought, then this means that this group of people can determine the cause and effect probability of things, and even have the ability to violate the laws of physics like various miracles, such as... resurrecting the dead, reversing time and space!

Victor seemed to understand what Wu Xianxiao was thinking. He shook his head and said, "It's not as magical as you think. The magnitude of this stimulated observer effect is very weak. It basically only involves changes at the level of a few electrons. For example, if you rely on thoughts, when there is an observer, interference patterns can still be caused in the double-slit interference experiment. It's only to this extent."

The so-called double-slit interference experiment is a very important experiment in quantum theory. In this experiment, when there is an observer, the projected particles show particle-like patterns, and when there is no observer, the projected particles show interference fringes, as if the basic particles have intelligence.

Victor continued, "This is just the beginning. Scientists were very surprised by this and conducted countless studies on it, but they still couldn't figure it out. Finally, with the advancement of science, scientists created many instruments for the secondary observer effect. Hundreds of years later, finally...some instrument that amplified the effect was created. The special race that obtained this instrument could use their thoughts to guide the quantum ordering of the basic particles between matter and the wave function collapse effect. As a result, the alchemical civilization ushered in a super development!"

Wu Xianxiao asked in confusion, "Uh, sorry, I only have a limited understanding of science. What kind of super development can this amplifying instrument bring about?"

Beelzebub couldn't help but say, "You idiot! We can artificially create all kinds of incredible basic materials, such as room-temperature superconductors. Let me ask you, with room-temperature superconductors, isn't it too early to achieve stable nuclear fusion? Moreover, we can control the collapse of wave functions. Quantum mechanics has made explosive progress. We don't even need super particle accelerators!"

Victor nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. During that period of time, it was called the mythical era of alchemical civilization. Various miraculous creations were derived from it. The alchemical civilization also colonized the entire star system in just a few decades. The status of these special races became higher and higher. However, their high status was also in line with their contributions. At that time, the ambitious alchemical civilization had already planned to enter the cross-star system colonization. The initial superluminal technology was also created because of the explosion of basic materials and basic scientific theories, but..."

"The source of pollution has appeared..."

Wu Xianxiao was silent for a moment and said, "Big eyeballs?"

Victor nodded and continued, "The emergence of the pollution source first caused a periodic illogical space-time effect, which would drag all the lives of the alchemical civilization into it every once in a while, and each time would randomly kill many people. Therefore, it also led to the suspension of the universe development plan. At the same time, due to this periodic death and the government's failure to resolve it, the government collapsed soon after, and the entire alchemical civilization fell into war."

"This is a war that has lasted for thousands of years, with pauses and battles. All colonized planets are involved. Special races are a super strategic resource and are monopolized by various forces. Over time, these special races began to gain power."

"During this process, the alchemical civilization began to fall, falling towards illusion. During the fall, the secondary observer effect of special human races began to gradually increase. For the first time, extraordinary power appeared in our civilization... That was the first alchemist, Asariel. He was the first to use the secondary observer effect to directly control the basic particles. Through the control of the basic particles, he achieved the ability to change the properties and forms of matter. This is the origin of my civilization. The word alchemy is also the extraordinary way, the original origin of alchemy."

Wu Xianxiao memorized all of this. He roughly understood the origin of alchemical civilization and the process of how to move from technological civilization to extraordinary civilization.

Among them, the appearance of the big eyeball at the source of pollution is the beginning, and the fall from reality to illusion is the process and core.

Victor continued, "As they fell deeper into the illusion, the alchemists' extraordinary powers grew stronger. In reality, various extraordinary organizations and forces led by alchemists began to appear, and their strength grew stronger and stronger. Later, the alchemists' strength broke through the critical point. Finally, the alchemists began to explore deeper into the dream world, and explored deeper and deeper until they broke through the critical point and reached the root layer... and the disaster happened."

The Root has the pollution characteristics of its own domain, and this pollution spreads in the real world. This is actually the way the Root plunders the real world. In order to fight against the Root, the alchemists at that time made a decision... to activate forbidden alchemy. "

"They plan to create the legendary Philosopher's Stone and use countless Philosopher's Stones to create artificial gods!!"

"So... the Lost Catastrophe appeared!"
