Eternal Night

Chapter 830 Liberation, Survival, and Harvest
"Emina Agricultural Region"

The 65 survivors instantly understood the name of the golden rice field and the surrounding area.

An important agricultural region of the Ana civilization, providing 80% of its food.

The Ana civilization, one of the six descendants of the Super-Shining Human civilization, once dominated the southeast. During the great war between the Super-Shining Human civilization and the Lamenting Lizardman civilization, it was defeated by the Tungusic Beast civilization in the north. As a result, the six descendants were scattered. Three of them came to the vicinity of Möbius, where they supported each other, formed alliances, and also competed with each other.

They plan to rebuild the Super-Shining Humans and reclaim their ancestral lands.

The sixty-five people instantly understood that the so-called "super-shining humans" referred to super Nen users, who were far more powerful than themselves, even beyond their imagination...

However, the exploration team recently sent out by the Ana civilization brought back news that silenced all three descendant civilizations.

It is lamentable that all descendants of the Lizardman civilization have been wiped out, with only a few individuals remaining, and their civilization can be declared extinct.

It was not the Tungusic Beast Civilization that ended them; in fact, the Tungusic Beast Civilization had already been completely wiped out long before that.

Moreover, the Tungusic Beast Civilization was not the super civilization they had envisioned; it was a remnant of a civilization that was wiped out by a terrifying race further north.

But what's truly shocking isn't that, but rather the terrifying race further north, also descendants of a certain civilization, a nomadic civilization that constantly migrated to escape catastrophe...

It is said that the catastrophe has already begun to stir in the far north. The catastrophe, which the six oldest super civilizations once tried to seal away even at the cost of their own destruction, has gradually broken through the seal due to the large amount of post-mortem thoughts that seeped into the earth's core because of the disasters left behind in various places.

But that's not the scariest part. The scariest part is...

As the cataclysm begins to stir, the most ancient and terrifying force of annihilation, located beneath the earth, may very well awaken!
Insects, the ancestors of insects in dozens of dream worlds...

Because of these laughs, the Ana civilization and its two sister civilizations fell into absolute silence, their original ambitions seemingly extinguished. At the same time, calls for the implementation of the final retreat plan for Lake Möbius grew louder...

This information was naturally known to all 65 people.

Their current state is strange. Their self-awareness of "I" is very weak, but as the void shatters, the sword cuts across, and information bombards them, their concept of "I" is slowly but steadily recovering. At the same time, under the onslaught of a large amount of information, this information is also presented in their weak self-awareness. Although they do not understand much of the information, they do recognize it.

The Ana civilization, an ancient human civilization, were the ancestors of humans living in Lake Möbius.

then……

Disaster came.

The cause of the disaster is unknown, as is its origin and extent. The only known information is that the Ana civilization collapsed in a very short time, with only a few high-ranking officials and lucky individuals escaping to Lake Möbius, accompanied by a small number of lamenting lizardmen serving as advisors.

The surviving civilians and high-ranking officials who had not managed to escape to the lake were pursued and eventually trapped in the Emina agricultural area.

The remaining tens of millions of humans are concentrated in this small, cramped area. People die every day, and people go missing every moment. There are also Nen users who go to investigate the surrounding area, but none of them ever return.

Ultimately, lacking materials, supplies, and defensive capabilities, the remaining government forces did two things.

First, all those who barely meet the qualification standards and those who are qualified should begin reciting.

Second, the regional dream-like super-concept collection plan will be implemented.

In the information cognition of the 65 people, the Ana civilization, which inherited from the Super-Shining Human Civilization, has many thought projects and thought plans left by the ancient civilization. Many of these thought projects and thought plans require the use of thought overload scenarios. The Regional Dreamification Super-Thought Collection Project is actually just a low-end version of a public thought project of the Super-Shining Human Civilization.

However, the Ana civilization is much weaker than the Super-Spark civilization. Many of its original Nen engineering and Nen technologies have been lost. What was originally a safe public Nen project is now on the list of projects and plans that fall under the category of Nen overload, and the Regional Dreamification Super Nen Aggregation Project is one of them.

However, left with no other choice, the people who remained in this agricultural area, despite being besieged, began to implement the plan.

Finally, after millions died from the forced activation of consciousness, a vast dream-like consciousness space was born. But the nightmare had only just begun...

"You can imagine that what we call a dream is actually an abstract concept detached from reality. In a dream, any wild idea can be realized. But precisely because of this, maintaining rational logic and established concepts is the biggest difficulty."

"It is said that before the Super Flash Civilization, during the most glorious moment of humankind, as one of the six oldest super civilizations, humans could even use the dream system achieved by the Mind Engineering to leave this world and go to the Ancient Insect Realm without worrying about being affected by the soul pull of this world. By the way, the so-called soul pull is because the size of this world is so huge that the phenomenon of soul vision has appeared."

"However, humanity is no longer the same as it was back then. Casually creating dream-spaces will result in a large number of distortions. Although this world is not fundamentally affected by the dream world as a whole, and ordinary life forms have a stable source of reality, in order to achieve dream-spaces as quickly as possible, we accelerated the development of most ordinary people into Nen users, causing them to be unable to generate reality. Dreams are a major consumer of reality, so we reaped what we sowed, and ultimately, we became like this..."

"Incalculable time, ceaseless decay, the dream-reality blurring without our awareness, everything has become a distorted chaos. Entropy has reached the limit that intellect can bear, yet death is impossible. This kind of suffering is unimaginable..."

"Thank you, descendants of humanity. You have seen through the illusion and found the way. This experience is enough to grant you enormous Nen potential. I look forward to you reaching the level of Super Shining Human, or even surpassing Super Shining Human. Now... let me add a layer of dreamlike haze to you."

"Finally... thank you, stranger. To express my gratitude, I have left you something suitable... I apologize for using my prophetic abilities, otherwise I wouldn't know what you wanted."

A gentle female voice rang in everyone's ears. Amidst the annihilation of countless indescribable, grotesque, and terrifying bodily organs, a pure white human body that still retained a slight human form seemed to bow slightly. This human body, composed purely of thought, eventually vanished.

When Peter Young, King, and the others awoke, sunlight was shining on their faces.

Both of them felt rather lazy, letting the sunlight shine on them for several seconds before finally mustering immense willpower to sit up from the ground. The sun was shining brightly, the grass was lush and green, and for a moment they were both somewhat dazed, until memories surfaced in their minds, prompting them to hurriedly look around.

They saw Wu Pifu floating on a piece of jade-colored longevity food, Nithrolimi, holding a jade piece in his hand and looking at it over and over.

"You're awake? You've been asleep for two days and two nights. Oh, by the way, I cooked some Nitrogen rice, it tastes really good, have some."

Wu Pifu continued looking at the jade piece, speaking without looking up.

Peter Young and King seemed to realize what had happened only then. They both tried to turn over, but their vision blurred and they almost fainted again.

Wu Pifu then looked up and said, "Your mental energy is being depleted. If 'absolute' means the physical body shuts down after all your mental energy is exhausted, then you are currently in a state of mental absoluteness. Don't get agitated, take it slow."

"us……"

Peter Young spoke in a hoarse voice, then broke out in a cold sweat.

Not only him, but Kim is the same.

Having regained their memories, the two recalled the terrifying experiences they had in the negative nightmares provided by Wu Pifu.

However, the terror was fading quickly, just like having an extremely exaggerated and terrifying nightmare. After waking up, the feeling of the nightmare would be forgotten very quickly, and the two of them were doing the same thing at this moment.

Although they knew that they had experienced extremely exaggerated and terrifying things in the nightmares they had triggered, even though they had all the memories, the sense of terror was quickly dissipating.

"...Were those events you personally experienced?" Jin remained silent for a long time before asking Wu Pifu.

Wu Pifu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood what Jin was talking about. He thought for a moment and said, "Yes, it's me, but... never mind, it's nothing."

Peter Young and King were immediately filled with awe, and it went beyond mere "awe"; they practically wanted to prostrate themselves in respect.

They knew that the terror they had experienced was less than one ten-thousandth of the original, but it had almost caused them to lose themselves and be completely annihilated in that nightmare. Wu Pifu, on the other hand, had experienced this complete terror and was still intact. As expected of a high-ranking being, it was entirely understandable that his strength was so great.

Peter Young and Kim arrived at a hastily built campfire. Seeing the Nitolo rice being cooked in an iron pot, the two did not hesitate and reached out to scoop some out to eat and drink.

The rice was incredibly fragrant and sweet, but it was also very filling. The two of them ate only about an ounce before they couldn't eat any more.

At this moment, Peter Young suddenly asked again, "Sir, are you from beyond this world? From that infinite dream world?"

Wu Pifu frankly admitted, "Yes, I come from outside this world."

Peter Young's eyes seemed to burn with an even more surging flame, but he just smiled and remained silent.

Jin looked around and realized that this was no longer a swamp, but just ordinary grassland. He asked curiously, "Sir, did you bring us here?"

Wu Pifu shook his head and said, "No, it wasn't me. It was that vast swamp that disappeared. This is the land after the swamp disappeared. By the way, the so-called disappearance doesn't mean that the swamp turned into grassland. It means that the space where the swamp was located shrank and disappeared. This is the grassland on the edge of the swamp."

The swamp disappeared? And it shrank and vanished?

Both of them were stunned and speechless. Then they looked at the sixty-three people who were still lying unconscious, and fell silent again.

Wu Pifu was also silent for a while, but he had a good attitude: "It can be said that what I said before is true. Those who set out are responsible for their own lives and deaths. They can't blame others for this... By the way, this is all Nitrogen, weighing about three tons. But this is probably the last Nitrogen. I guess I've completed the deal with you?"

Peter Young and Kim looked at each other with ecstatic joy in their eyes, and then they both nodded to Wu Pifu in agreement.

Wu Pifu was relieved and smiled at them. Then he ignored them and focused all his attention on the jade pendant in his hand.

"Judging in progress...judging complete."

"Among them are the six super civilizations of the ancient insect world, the travel god characters sealed by human civilization at that time."

"The character '神' (Shen) refers to the extraordinary energy carriers invented by each of the six super civilizations to accommodate Nen abilities and prevent Nen overload."

"The effect of this divine character is: to create a channel spanning two points in space. The more energy input, the longer the spatial distance that can be traversed. The maximum spatial distance that this divine character can create with the energy it can contain is one thousand light-years."

"Note: Only absorbs Nen energy and neutral electrical energy."

Wu Pifu flipped through the jade tablet, then looked at the Thunder Pool he always carried with him...

He fell into deep thought for a moment.

Is it truly a matter of fate?
Or perhaps... he was manipulated by some higher being?
