Eternal Night

Chapter 617 One-Time Title: God's Dice

(P.S.: Sorry for the lateness, I need to reflect on myself!)
"...Absolute spacetime anchoring protocol, under any absolute spacetime system, only one copy can be obtained. Unless this copy is used up, the main brain can mix it with the essence after the root is destroyed through massive points, but there can only be one copy, in order to avoid the split of the absolute spacetime view and the continuous shielding and blocking of the relative spacetime view."

Chu Minghao looked at Wu Pifu as if his vision was unfocused, more like a message left by someone who was still alive a long, long time ago.

After saying this, Chu Minghao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Liang Min and I hoped to revive you through time reversal, but the Time-Space Island is a barrier we cannot overcome. After Liang Min and I personally tested time reversal and finally obtained the main brain's judgment, we learned that the Absolute Time-Space Anchoring Protocol no longer exists. This means that you obtained the item before the Lost World, and then because you were dragged into a lower-level dream world, you lost your connection with the main brain, which is why you cannot use the item. At the same time, the item cannot be regenerated, trapping you in a vicious cycle."

At this point, Chu Minghao sighed wearily, "But at least we got some good news: you're not dead. It's just that your condition... might not be so good, but at least that's hope, isn't it?"

At this point, Chu Minghao fell into a long daze, and he didn't know how much time had passed. Time here seemed to stand still relative to the outside world. Wu Pifu was not anxious at all, and just stood silently in front of Chu Minghao.

Chu Minghao snapped out of his daze and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I've been having a little problem lately, but it's okay, I'll take care of it soon. My only worry is you, Brother Wu. If I'm gone, and Liang Min is gone too, how will you come back..."

"But thankfully, you really came back. Thank God, humanity still has a glimmer of hope..."

"The Superbrain Assist Device, although created based on my superbrain, will be fine-tuned by Liang Min after my death. Brother Wu can try using it; it should also serve as your superbrain assist device. As for the two powers I left behind after taking the superbrain assist device... Shh, don't tell them that those two powers can be used without the superbrain assist device. Otherwise, I'm afraid they'll use it on every single person in humanity, trying to find any potential latent superbrains. This is a deadly method, but it can uncover the weakest superbrains that even the main brain might not be able to find..."

"Unfortunately, it's impossible now. The superbrain has been completely eradicated, and it's impossible for another superbrain to be born..."

Chu Minghao rambled on and on, but apart from his initial coherent logical thinking, his words became incoherent and rambling, as if he were suffering from dementia.

His condition... is really off.

Wu Pifu listened silently, memorizing every word Chu Minghao said. At this moment, the surrounding haze began to gradually dissipate, and Chu Minghao seemed to have a final burst of energy before death. He propped himself up with his hands and looked at Wu Pifu, saying, "Brother Wu, be careful. Human civilization... I'm entrusting it to you."

As these last words faded, Wu Pifu reappeared behind Chu Yuyan. He silently stared straight ahead at the statue of Chu Minghao. After a long while, he silently lowered his head and continued forward.

There were no major obstacles along the way. After arriving at the sculpture, Chu Yuyan looked at Wu Pifu and said, "The entrance is right here, but we can't see it. Only the Superbrain can enter. This is one of the powers left behind by Chu Minghao."

When Wu Pifu arrived, he already saw a downward staircase, but the others ignored it. Some kind of cognitive information prevented them from seeing the staircase, while Wu Pifu felt a chill in his heart—this power…

It's starting to resemble a self-contained loop!

Regardless, Wu Pifu saw the passage and naturally walked down it. When he reached the entrance of the passage, everyone around him looked at him, and everyone had a look of realization.

"I see it! It's right here!"

Everyone was excited as they followed Wu Pifu down the mountain. Soon, they arrived at a simple tomb chamber. Apart from a metal coffin, there was only a crystal emitting a soft light suspended above it.

"Super Brain Assist Device!"

Almost everyone shouted those words at the same time, and then all their eyes were fixed on Wu Pifu. Wu Pifu remained silent for a moment, and then walked straight towards the super brain aid.

Just then, Wang Yihui, Chu Yuyan, and Gao Changgong shouted at the same time, "Watch out!"

Wu Pifu turned back to look at the three of them in confusion. The three of them exchanged glances, and Gao Changgong spoke first: "Don't use it. Your body... has a problem, right? Don't use it. The super brain auxiliary device has a qualitative change on your super brain, but it will also increase the load. So, just store it away and don't use it."

Wu Pifu nodded silently and walked to the crystal. The crystal seemed to be drawn by something, and then turned into a stream of light and entered Wu Pifu's brow, where it was immediately embedded. Then his brow closed and disappeared.

"...Is this a super brain assist device?"

Wu Pifu suddenly realized that he remembered when Chu Minghao and Liang Min came to help him in the Lost Lands, Chu Minghao had revealed this crystal between his eyebrows when he was fighting against the True Martial lineage, although that crystal did not have such a dazzling light.

So that's the super brain assist device?

No, the super brain aid at that time was not yet fully manufactured; it was probably still in the early stages of development. As the crystal merged, Wu Pifu immediately felt a peculiar sensation, as if he had gained an extra brain, or rather, an extra sense beyond the five senses. With just a thought, his super brain world could change from an active to a passive sensation.

However, Wu Pifu still forcibly restrained himself from using the super brain assist device, after all, the limitations of his physical body were too great now.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Wu Pifu accept the super brain aid.

On the one hand, obtaining this super brain assistant is related to a major goal they plan to achieve next. On the other hand, Wu Pifu, who has integrated the super brain replicator, will no longer have any problems. He is indeed the real Wu Pifu!
"Our plan's target... Zero Point Three Dream World Layer!"

Back at the military base, Chu Yuyan and Wang Yihui began explaining their next plan to Wu Pifu.

“Brother Wu, you and Brother Wu in our timeline are actually the same person. It’s just that the timelines are different, resulting in individual deviations. But in terms of essential cause and effect, you have a causal connection that transcends everything. So we hope that after you go to the Zero Point Three Dream World, you can guide the lost Brother Wu through the causal connection,” Wang Yihui said.

Wu Pifu clearly didn't understand, so Chu Yuyan immediately explained from the side: "To put it simply, first, Mr. Wu will travel through time to the Zero Point Three Dream World; second, he will use the causal illusion we gave you; and third, he will confirm the whereabouts of Mr. Wu in our timeline. Once these three steps are completed, Mr. Wu in our timeline will very likely be able to follow this causal line back to the Land of Redemption. This is the plan we have designed."

Wu Pifu nodded, then pondered for a moment and said, "There are two questions. First, have you considered what state I am in your timeline? He... may no longer be human."

Silence fell over the crowd. An officer gave a smile that seemed to be a cry and said, "Do we have a choice? Even if there is only a sliver of hope, we are willing to take a gamble. Otherwise, the future scenario that Mr. Wu brought up will become our real future."

Wu Pifu could only sigh silently, and then said again, "Then the second question, do you know how big the entire dream world is? There is no specific point to the Zero Point Three Dream World. Even if I have the super brain auxiliary device and can go deep into it to fight, the probability of that is as small as finding a needle in a haystack."

Chu Yuyan, Wang Yihui, and Gao Changgong exchanged glances and nodded. Gao Changgong then took out a safe from his personal space. The three of them gathered around and entered the password on the three keypad markings on the outside of the safe. They then took out a medal from the safe.

"What is this?" Wu Pifu took the medal and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what it was. So he simply said, "Mainframe, identify this thing."

One-time title: God's Dice (3/7)

"By wearing the title that is a manifestation of a special fantasy object, it can be used."

"This title has a limited number of uses. Once used up, the title will disappear completely. Each use can determine a specific directional instruction. If the instruction has a probability, the probability will inevitably rise to the limit of the causal level. If multiple probabilities exist at the same time, the probability will be directed towards the most advantageous, most desired, and best result for the user."

"Pollution side effects: Every time this title is used, you will be hit by God's dice."

Wu Pifu examined the title closely, increasingly wanting to shout "Awesome!" Finally, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap, there are such amazing things? Isn't this a 100% wish-granting device? But I don't understand this 'contamination side effect.' What does 'God's dice hit directly' mean? Does it mean I'll be unlucky next? Or something else?"

Everyone looked at each other and then gave a wry smile.

Wang Yihui said, "This... Brother Wu can figure it out for himself. Anyway, for Brother Wu, the negative effects of this pollution are practically negligible."

Wu Pifu looked at the strange expressions on everyone's faces with suspicion. He thought for a moment and said, "That's fine then. After the plan begins, I will use this thing when I go to the Zero Point Three Dream World."

"Do not."

Chu Yuyan shook his head and said, "It's for now... There are still three slots left for this title. It's for you, Mr. Wu, because your physical body has problems right now, and participating in battles would be dangerous. But going to the Zero Point Three Dream World would likely involve battles, so using this title would minimize the possibility of your physical body collapsing. That's its effect. Of the three slots, besides Mr. Wu who is searching for our timeline, the other two slots are for you, Mr. Wu."

Wu Pifu looked at the crowd, and they all nodded seriously at him.

Wu Pifu didn't mince words. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright, then I do need this title..."

"I'm going to use this title to draw my own title. I want to see just how lucky I am as the Emperor of Europe after maximizing the probability that's in my favor!"
