Eternal Night

Chapter 851 Divinely Created Restorative Body
Wu Pifu continued to live on Liushang Island.

He was seriously injured, the damage being fundamental, which is almost irreparable; once lost, it is gone forever.

Strangely enough, as Wu Pifu gradually rested, his injuries stopped worsening within just four or five days. Although they hadn't completely healed in a short time, there were some signs of recovery. For example, his headaches lessened, he no longer suffered from insomnia at night, and he no longer saw any faint phantoms or felt any inexplicable terror.

To reiterate, for someone of Wu Pifu's strength, even if his heart were gone and his head exploded, he wouldn't die. He's practically free of fatal injuries. Unless a higher-level extraordinary energy is used to erode him, destroy most of his physical body, or damage his mental consciousness or soul, he's extremely difficult to kill. His headaches, insomnia, seeing faint phantoms, and feeling immense terror out of nowhere are all signs of damage to his mental consciousness and soul, which are very difficult to heal and will only worsen over time.

His current behavior is actually a sign of self-healing.

"……really."

Meanwhile, in Wu Pifu's presidential suite, Jin and Kura were explaining the current tense international situation to Wu Pifu, but Beelzebub didn't care about any of that. In any case, no matter how badly injured Wu Pifu was, he couldn't be harmed by secular countries in this lake world. What she really cared about was Wu Pifu's special nature.

After Jin and Kurapika left, Wu Pifu asked Beelzebub, "What did you want to say to me?"

Beelzebub flew to Wu Pifu's ear and buzzed, "Check if anyone is eavesdropping."

Wu Pifu frowned, realizing that Beelzebub was likely about to reveal some secret. He nodded, then tapped the edge of the bed he was lying on twice with his finger. After a moment, he said, "No one is listening. Go ahead and speak."

Beelzebub immediately flew to Wu Pifu's shoulder and said, "Before the battle against the Primordial Evil, I regained some memories because I saw the Primordial Evil."

Wu Pifu immediately retorted, "You really are an information extractor! You babbled on and on like a recording machine..."

"Snapped!"

Beelzebub slammed into Wu Pifu's forehead, making himself dizzy, while Wu Pifu remained unharmed.

After a long pause, Beelzebub finally got up and said fiercely, "You bastard! I'm not saying anything anymore!!"

Wu Pifu then laughed and said, "You bumped into me yourself, and I didn't even say anything... Okay, I admit I misspoke, you can continue."

Beelzebub muttered for a long time before continuing, "Anyway, I've regained some memories. These memories are about the various plans, research, and experiments that my companions and I, along with some ancient civilizations, came together to save the world. However, most of them are very vague. I only remember the research on the primordial evil and some messages Nuwa and the others left me when they went to the Absolute Truth..."

Upon hearing the name Nuwa, Wu Pifu immediately sat up straight.

This is an absolute god! The key point is that Wu Pifu actually saw Nuwa's original corpse in the Absolute Truth Layer.

Beelzebub continued, “In my memory, back then, I and the Roots already sensed that the time of each era was shortening, and the true era of each generation was falling faster and faster. According to this trend, the balance between reality and illusion has begun to tilt, the source of pollution is becoming stronger and stronger, and the most critical situation is... the changes of the Primordial Immortals terrify us, and at the same time, we cannot stop the transformation of the Dao.”

Wu Pifu was taken aback and said, "What do you mean? Didn't you consider the possibility of Dao transformation when you achieved your Origin?"

“…The memories here are hazy, but I vaguely remember some key points, namely…the speed at which the origin transforms is related to the speed of the era’s change. Do you understand what I mean? The interval between each generation of true eras is getting shorter and shorter, so the speed at which the origin transforms will be faster and faster, and the speed at which it is dragged to the lower dream world will also be faster and faster!” Beelzebub said solemnly.

Wu Pifu hadn't expected this information, and he was slightly stunned.

Beelzebub immediately added, "But that's not the point. The point is, I've remembered one of the experiments we're trying to find a solution to, and it's called the Primordial Experiment!"

"What does that mean? Everyone has been transformed into primordial evil beings?" Wu Pifu was dumbfounded once again.

"...It's pretty much the same, but it's not turning into an 'evil thing,' but rather into a primordial state!"

Beelzebub corrected, "Because after we discovered the Primordial Evils, through our research, we found that they were beings perfectly adapted to the dream world. They were powerful, without weaknesses, immortal, unaffected by pollution or corruption, and not dragged to lower dream worlds. They could freely travel between any level of the dream world, and even remained unharmed after reaching the Absolute Reality. This was a perfected form of life!"

Wu Pifu fell into deep thought. Based on his general understanding of the characteristics of the Primordial Evil Creatures... it seemed to be true.

“We speculate that the Primordial Evil is likely a life form perfectly adapted to both the real and illusory universe models. This is a form of evolution, which actually occurs in many scenarios, such as the relationship between mortals and bacteria, and the use of antibiotics leading to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria. It’s just that the Primordial Evil represents a very extreme, ultra-low-concept evolution.” Beelzebub said, recalling, “Our research on the Primordial Evil has revealed that they are also susceptible to pollution, distortion, and erosion. However, they can resist and break through these influences through regeneration and restoration. Therefore, compared to the root cause, the Primordial Evil is actually a more perfect, advanced endpoint in combating pollution. But the only drawback is…”

"You have no self, right?"

Wu Pifu knew this all too well.

The reason he was able to defeat the Primordial Fungus was because the Fungus had no self, a pure, primal life form.

"Yes, there is no self."

Beelzebub said, “This is the biggest flaw of the Primordial Evil. In our experiments, we actually perfectly replicated the process of the birth of the Primordial Evil several times, and we actually created a rudimentary Primordial Evil-like being. However, it has no self. Our initial guess was that ordinary life could not bear the super vitality and perfect adaptability of the Primordial Evil. So we found a Seed of the Extreme to cooperate with our experiments.”

Wu Pifu sat up straight again and said, "It's not a monkey, is it?"

Beelzebub hurriedly rubbed his feet and said, "It wasn't a monkey! Don't interrupt. Anyway, we found a monkey... no, we found a Primal Seed to cooperate with our experiment. And he did indeed become a true Primal Evil, but the moment he became a Primal Evil, he lost his self. If he still exists now, his true name is Primal Refiner Vandalop. This experiment failed, or rather, all experiments attempting to become Primal Evils have failed. Our line of thinking and philosophy have all come to an end because we couldn't solve the problem of self-preservation. But it was precisely because of this experiment with the Primal Seed that we discovered a clue, or rather, a very important key point..."

At this point, Beelzebub seemed to hesitate and didn't continue.

Wu Pifu said, "Go ahead and say it, I'm listening."

"Stop it! Let me think about it carefully..."

Beelzebub's tone was somewhat harsh, but as if she had made some kind of decision, she said, "Do you know? Wu Pifu, we, the origins, have actually conducted countless experiments and studies on ourselves, on the dream world, on illusion, on reality, on the First Buddha, on the First Immortal... even on the source of pollution, on that higher existence that is theoretically likely to surpass everything, and have made various theoretical speculations and thought simulations."

After listening, Wu Pifu nodded and said, "Hmm, I can understand. Scientists should think more about things, even if they can't understand or prove them at the time. They can still describe the theory first. There are similar situations on Earth. When the theory of relativity was proposed, many things described in the theory of relativity could not be verified or disproven... But what does this have to do with me? What does this have to do with what you are about to tell me?"

“It’s related!” Beelzebub’s tone was heavy and somewhat agitated: “In our theory, there is a talent, a talent whose very existence is almost nonexistent, that allows one to learn all extraordinary paths without hindrance, to accumulate all power infinitely, including the transformation of pollution and the source of the Dao, to ignore all harm and corruption, and even to face the source of pollution without any hindrance. This is a talent that only exists in theory, and it is also the only talent in theory that can defeat the source of pollution, reach the ultimate bottom of the dream world without being transformed by the Dao, still maintain its self, and still be able to fight…”

"The seed of the ultimate path?"

Wu Pifu asked tentatively.

"Do not."

Beelzebub immediately denied it, saying, "The ultimate seed's later years are ominous. This ominousness is caused by the fact that it has learned and absorbed too many extraordinary paths. This was actually my biggest worry about you before. The ultimate seed only fulfills one insignificant requirement of this talent, which is called... Restoration!"

"Restore?" Wu Pifu repeated, still somewhat confused.

"Listen to me! Don't interrupt!"

Beelzebub's tone was very heavy. She took a few deep breaths before continuing, "But this is only theoretical, just like the theoretical absolute zero, the theoretical absolute black body, and the theoretical absolute rigid body in the science of absolute truth. It's only theoretical. However, in our research on primordial evil objects, especially in the experiment with the Extreme Seed, we made a major breakthrough, which allows this theory to be achieved indirectly from another direction..."

“We can’t create beings with regenerative abilities, because that’s like those theoretical things, something that even exceeds the dream world universe model. But we can achieve similar conditions indirectly…”

"That's right, we can't create a regenerative talent, but we can allow a life form to accumulate infinitely, resulting in its spirit, consciousness, and soul undergoing numerous iterations, having a large reserve of resources and a large number of replaceable parts... If its essence is damaged, although it cannot be directly ignored and self-restored as in theoretical restoration, the portion accumulated through countless iterations can slowly heal it..."

"This is the plan we devised after that major breakthrough!"

"It is also the reason why Nuwa, Lilith, and the other great gods of the Heavenly Court collectively went to the Absolute Truth Layer. This is our ultimate plan, a final redemption plan that can end the source of pollution and kill the primordial immortals who have undergone inexplicable changes!"

"Its name... God-Created Restorative Body!"
