Eternal Night

Chapter 676 The Sky Is Broken?
Wu Pifu saw countless corpses of the root resonating simultaneously.

These ancestral corpses, whether strong or weak, still existing or lost, are not physically entangled, but rather generate a collective resonance according to some kind of law.

The power generated by this collective resonance far exceeds the power of any single Root Corpse resonating alone. Within Wu Pifu's field of vision, there were at least a thousand Root Corpses participating in this collective resonance, and the point of reception for their resonance was...

Mastermind!

Wu Pifu couldn't see the appearance or state of the main brain, but the moment he saw its existence, he knew it was the main brain, the main brain that was crucial to the life and death of the Gaia human civilization!

The main brain is also formed from the resonance of the corpses of the source, but unlike the super brain, the main brain is born from the resonance of a large number of multiple corpses of the source. At the same time, the main brain is not an individual intelligent life. Thus, this wonderful collective resonance forms a special collective creation that brings together a large number of rules, domains, and concepts... This perfectly matches the various characteristics of the main brain!
Therefore, the omnipotence of the mastermind even extends to many secrets, origins, and civilizations within the dream world. These rules, domains, concepts, information, and so on all originate from the resonance of the vast corpse of origin.

Moreover, Wu Pifu understood at this moment why the main brain had issued so many missions to explore the dream world, especially the missions to explore lost origins and lost civilizations, for which the rewards were enormous... Among the resonating corpses of origins were corpses of lost origins. These lost corpses of origins could not resonate with any human, but they resonated with the main brain.

Wu Pifu had a sudden realization.

The corpse of the Root that he saw was perhaps only a tiny fraction of the countless corpses of the Root accumulated over countless eons, while many more lost corpses of the Root were hidden within.

The reason why the mainframe needs to collect so much information may be related to this, and the mainframe's upgrade itself is also full of mystery. Compared to the materials required, it requires more information.

So where is this information used?

Could it be used to resonate with more sources of loss, so that the main brain can gain more power?
"...Our research has revealed that the unique individuals of the real-era civilizations that resonate with the Root Corpses at the Absolute Truth Layer manifest themselves in completely different ways in each era. This is determined by a certain characteristic of that civilization and the essence of life. Moreover, this uniqueness is not the same as the unique extraordinary path of that civilization, but it will have subtle differences depending on the strength of the Root Corpse that resonates with it and the different Root Domains."

"...We haven't yet found the source of the unique extraordinary pathways for each true era, but based on our speculation, it should be related to... the Absolute Truth layer."

"...Finally, just before we were about to undergo spiritual separation and completely leave our original essence, the latest True Era civilization actually gave birth to a civilization artifact. We witnessed the entire process of the civilization artifact's birth. At this moment, many past questions were finally answered. So this is what a civilization artifact is! No wonder the civilization artifacts we have studied are all incredibly powerful, and even their range of abilities and degree of influence violate many of the extraordinary laws we have proposed. So this is the reason..."

The information transmitted by the corpse of Nuwa's origin continues, and from it, Wu Pifu also learned that the main brain is the so-called artifact of civilization belonging to the Gaia human civilization era. Similarly, the Time-Space Wheel is also an artifact of civilization belonging to the Time-Space Spirit civilization.

According to the information transmitted by the corpse of Nuwa's origin, such a civilization artifact is extremely rare, usually only one in dozens or hundreds of civilizations. However, once it is born, the civilization that possesses the artifact is often extremely powerful and can eventually become one of the ancient civilizations. That is, after the origin is born within the race, the civilization still has mortal individuals. Even when it sinks to the world of 0.2 or 0.1 Dream, the civilization still exists. This is what is called an ancient civilization.

Moreover, judging from the various praises of Nuwa's Root Corpse, the Civilization Artifact not only possesses these mysteries, but also seems to have incredible abilities or effects. In short, this thing is a great opportunity that is hard to come by. Any civilization that possesses the Civilization Artifact will surely shine brightly in the entire dream world.

At the end of the message, the corpse of Nuwa's origin revealed several secrets. However, by the time the message reached this point, it had become garbled, nonsensical, and contained incomprehensible fragments, as if the Spirit Jade's carrying capacity had reached its limit.

"...Heavenly Civilization Artifacts...Beware of the First Immortal; He seems to know some great secret we don't, and therefore..."

"...The divine artifacts of the Buddhist civilization have already...but the First Buddha is still..."

"...The Buddhist realm's secrets may lie elsewhere...but Beelzebub seems to..."

"...No matter what, prevent the unification of all spirits and all things, otherwise..."

"...Oh no, Immortal Chu..."

"...The sky has broken..."

The message ended there, leaving Wu Pifu somewhat surprised and confused. The preceding messages had been smooth and carried a sense of calm, like a casual message, but towards the end, they suddenly became anxious and impatient, as if some major upheaval had occurred. Then, the Spirit Jade let out a mournful cry, transformed into a stream of light, and returned to his sea of ​​consciousness, still radiating light, helping him continue to observe this sea of ​​negativity—the floating corpse of the source—through the black-and-white vision of his super-brain world.

Wu Pifu was already almost unable to withstand the continuous consumption of the super brain world. Fortunately, the original past that was suspected to be Liang Min remained unchanged, and the negative influence and distortions guided by her physical body were also rapidly slowing down. Soon, this negative imaginary space where countless root corpses floated and sank would gradually fade away.

Just before the imaginary space completely closed, Wu Pifu was still carefully examining its many origins. His gaze returned to the corpse of Nuwa's origin, but this time he was observing this vast and boundless origin from another angle. Then, he was horrified to discover...

The image of Nuwa's Origin Corpse from another angle is completely different. The other half of this vast and boundless Origin Corpse is actually empty and void. Half of its body is in a state of nothingness, as if it has been gnawed or annihilated by something. There are extremely fine bluish-purple traces flickering on the edge of its void. Even after countless epochs, these bluish-purple traces that annihilated Nuwa's Origin Corpse have not dissipated!?
Finally, Wu Pifu abruptly exited the super-brain world state, and the endless negative influences around him completely disappeared. The imaginary space was also completely closed. At the same time, in this laboratory, apart from the three humans in the cryogenic hibernation pod and the previous generation who remained unchanged, all other living beings were reduced to ashes and turned into dust particles, disappearing in an instant.

At this moment, Wu Pifu couldn't care less about observing his surroundings. He half-squatted on the ground, trying his best to concentrate all his mind to suppress the negative turmoil in his sea of ​​consciousness. After a long while, relying on the last remaining three tigers' remnants, the spiritual light emanating from the Spirit Jade, the four innate metals of heaven and earth already in the Iron Refining Record, the sleepless spiritual light... almost all means were used to gradually suppress the surging negative energy.

However, Wu Pifu did not stand up immediately after suppressing the negative influence; he remained squatting in place, his face full of shock.

"...The sky has broken..."

This was the last piece of information he received from Nuwa, and then he saw Nuwa's original essence, which was now only half complete.

Is the sky broken?
What sky has been broken?
Various pieces of information were rapidly circulating in Wu Pifu's mind, from myths and legends to his own experiences and the structure of the dream world. Then he suddenly discovered a fact that sent chills down his spine...

He searched through the Time and Space Spirit Library and found a lot of information, but he didn't find anything about "weekends"!

The Spirit of Time and Space is a very ancient civilization. Its two fundamental principles, the absolute concept of time and space and the relative concept of time and space, are the foundations of the zero-point level. Its birth time is very ancient, possibly even before the Heavenly Court, but the exact time is no longer verifiable.

However, among the myriad pieces of information in the Time and Space Spirit Library, there was no mention of "weekends," and when the Time and Space Spirit explored the Dream World, there was no information about exploring "weekends," as if "weekends" did not exist.

At the time, Wu Pifu hadn't thought deeply about the reasons behind it, but now, combined with Nuwa's final words, "The sky is broken," the implications are truly chilling.

Is the sky broken?
What? The sky has broken?

Is it the sky in the literal sense? But every different dream world has a sky, and the so-called sky is not actually a real substance, so how can there be any talk of the sky being broken?
So what did Nuwa mean when she said the sky was broken?

Moreover, in the ancient myths of the Gaia civilization that Wu Pifu knew, Nuwa's two greatest achievements were creating humans from clay and saving the world by mending the sky...

If the various myths and legends of Gaia's human civilization are actually projections of information from major past events in the dream world, such as the creation of humans from clay, which is actually the origin of ancient civilizations going to the absolute reality layer, and then the information giving rise to a real era civilization that is increasingly able to resist pollution, then what does Nuwa's saving the world and mending the sky mean?

Could it be that... a major event really did happen, causing the "sky" to be broken open?

What was behind that day?

In that instant, the image of that enormous eyeball, which occupied one-third of the universe, appeared in Wu Pifu's mind.

It's been a long time since the Land of Redemption appeared that we've had a "weekend"!
Could it be that... that eyeball didn't exist long ago, and that it was only because the "sky" was broken that the eyeball could peer into the real world and the dream world through the crack?
The sky... is broken!?
