Chapter 211 Extraordinary Plant Breeding Center
Yin Danyi has a deep background and seems to know some rather secret things. The situation encountered in the secret realm involves many things. Su Xun asked Tao Yue to keep it a secret from the outside world, but he could reveal a few things to Yin Danyi for the purpose of communication.

If Pei Che hadn't already gone to Loulan, Su Xun would probably have called him over to discuss things.

The conversation between two fifth-tier superhumans was virtually impossible to eavesdrop on here, but even so, Su Xun still strictly adhered to the confidentiality requirements, dismissed everyone, and instructed Tao Yue to be on guard.

Seeing how much importance Su Xun attached to the matter, Yin Danyi also knew that it was important. He perked up and listened to Su Xun briefly recount their conversation with Fuxi.

"Is that His Majesty the Emperor Xi...?"

Yin Danyi did not show any surprise at this: "After all, it is Mount Tai, which has inextricable connections with that person. It is normal to run into him."

“I support your point of view. My previous understanding was that cause and effect were reversed. Actually, thinking about it, it makes sense. Since spiritual power has existed for a long time, in a timeline that is unknown to us, the probability of life establishing a powerful civilization is almost inevitable.”

Su Xun nodded slightly. As long as the probability of something happening is not zero, then if this thing is placed in a universe where both time and space scales are close to infinite, it will definitely happen.

Since spiritual power once existed, a powerful civilization that deeply mastered it and possessed numerous tenth-order beings must have existed at some point. Given the nature of spiritual power, the influence of this civilization would have spanned time and continued to affect Earth to this day, which is not incomprehensible.

"So you think they are actually our previous civilization?" Su Xun pondered for a moment. In his guess, perhaps the civilization represented by the tenth-order Fuxi declined due to the depletion of spiritual energy, and everything about it only resurfaced after the environment changed and spiritual energy recovered.

"It's hard to say." Yin Danyi shook her head: "They may be close, but things may not be that simple. However, according to the conversation you relayed, there is some deep connection between them and us, and that is certain."

Fuxi had said the same thing to Su Xun: things weren't as simple as he imagined, but of course, they weren't that complicated either.

He shook his head. This matter was clearly beyond their reach for the time being. He looked at Yin Danyi, who seemed to know some secrets, but she never said much. Perhaps the reason was the same as the problem that Fuxi had described before—in a world with spiritual power, information has its own power and should be controlled.

However, even if he simply affirmed Su Xun's idea, it was already valuable, so Su Xun simply stopped asking any more questions.

"It seems that even until the tenth order appears, we still have to solve the problems of this world ourselves. Perhaps it will not be too late to explore these problems when that time comes."

Neither Meng Po nor Fu Xi in their previous lives should have directly participated in the struggle against those natural disasters; otherwise, given their perspectives, the outcome would have been very different.

However, this does not mean that their existence is without value. There is a high probability that Su Xun's rebirth was driven by them behind the scenes. Leaving that aside for now, the tenth-order natural disaster is an ecological niche. In the previous life, there was no natural disaster in the Eastern native region. In addition to Meng Po erasing his memories, there seems to be another explanation for this.

—These 10th-tier beings have occupied this ecological niche, which has resulted in no real natural disasters ever being born on this land.

Otherwise, given the influence a level 10 cultivator should have, Su Xun's memories would probably have been completely erased.

If we look at it this way, Mahisha, the closest and most active region to the East, is actually in another geographical unit, separated by the high plateau. If Oswell were to appear in the world in the name of Gonggong, Su Xun in his previous life might have died much earlier.

Putting these questions aside for the moment, Su Xun took out the peach pit: "This is something they left behind in the secret realm. It seems to be quite important. Take a look?"

Su Xun was casual, but he didn't expect that Yin Danyi would be frozen in place when he saw the item. His expression visibly darkened, as if he had recalled something quite painful.

"What? You recognize this?"

Su Xun was somewhat surprised. He held the peach pit in his palm, blocking Yin Danyi's view. The other party seemed to realize her lapse in composure only then. He took a deep breath and sighed, "I know. A seed of a tree can perhaps replant that tree."

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to say anything more, Su pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and patted the other party's shoulder: "Okay, then that's settled. I'll look into it myself later."

"Aren't you going to ask me?" Yin Danyi asked, somewhat surprised.

"Would you tell me if I asked?"

"..."

"That's fine then, let bygones be bygones." Su Xun could tell that the other person's emotions just now were not fake, and that they were obviously from some painful experiences... If anyone were to ask him about certain things that happened at the beginning of the apocalypse in his previous life, Su Xun would not want to talk about them.

If it's something important and that can be said, the other person will naturally tell you on their own initiative. If they are unwilling or unable to say it, then there's no point in asking further.

Su Xun's choice surprised Yin Danyi. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything. However, in their silence, the subtle distance and wariness that had always existed between them seemed to have disappeared.

Ultimately, it was a battlefield, and soon new sixth-tier mutants appeared. Upon receiving the news, Yin Danyi stood up and said, "I'm going to the front lines."

Su Xun nodded, watching the other person turn and leave. After the other person disappeared, he picked up the peach pit in his hand and examined it carefully.

There was indeed a living being among them. It only needed to replenish its spiritual energy to slowly revive it. However, when Su Xun tried to input spiritual energy into it, it felt like a cup of water being thrown into a dried-up ocean, with no reaction at all.

Perhaps... we could go and see Xu Huan.

After a moment's thought, Su Xun left the command post, made some arrangements, and then set off for the Taimon base.

Taimon Base now serves as a logistics hub for the operation against the Daizong Secret Realm. Supplies from Xinfu Base City arrive here continuously via freight railway and are then distributed to the front lines from here.

The base was not far from the front-line command post located at the former Daizong observation post. The two were connected by a fixed line, and many of the artillery pieces set up here could directly support the front line.

The last time Su Xun came here was before the summit, when he worked with many extraordinary individuals to build those insulated buildings. Thanks to the efficiency of the extraordinary individuals, the buildings have been officially inaugurated and put into use, and have been officially named the Extraordinary Plant Breeding Center.

However, Su Xun was taken aback when he arrived at the door.
