Chapter 642: The End-State Producer
Arriving in the Manghuang Realm, Bai Mo's mission could be considered complete.
Or perhaps it wasn't even a mission, not really; at most, it was just a return to an old place.
Back then, before he left, he had indeed left behind some of his legacy at the ruins of Hanluo City. If one were to fully absorb it, it was roughly a cultivation method that could lead to the sixth tier.
For the vast majority of people, the sixth tier was already an unreachable endpoint.
However, Bai Mo glanced around and found that in these past ten-plus years, it seemed no fated individual had managed to acquire the core part of Hanluo City's legacy.
The first wave of "meat-eating" families and transmigrators hadn't gotten it, nor had the second wave of "bone-gnawing" adventurers.
......
"The Ark has discovered a total of two new spatial layers with life; one of them has been completely conquered and turned into a colony, and the other is just beginning to be probed..."
After arriving in the Manghuang Realm, through some hidden means, Bai Mo generally learned of the Ark's current progress.
For the task of finding spatial layer coordinates, which relies purely on luck to advance, Bai Mo didn't have a much better method. He could only cast a wide net and let them participate as well.
Secondly, it was for a concept of a later cultivation path—the direction of higher-dimensional beings that exist simultaneously in many spatial layers, with their life essence jumping again.
......
When Bai Mo first crossed the spatial rift and arrived in the Manghuang Realm, he gained a high-dimensional visual ability that evolved from his divine sense.
Naturally, with high-dimensional vision that could simultaneously observe numerous spatial layers, he began to let his thoughts drift towards the legendary higher-dimensional beings.
Thus, the Ark, capable of extending its tentacles into multiple spatial layers simultaneously, naturally became his observation subject.
According to his conception, while continuously undergoing Reincarnation Tribulations, he might have the opportunity, through some method, to gradually transform his life essence, ultimately becoming a being that exists simultaneously in countless spatial layers, where the death of one or two world-bodies would not affect the existence of his true self in the slightest.
......
"My daughter, Yun Ru, asked me to pose a question to you," Yue Yu suddenly said.
"Why do you go to such lengths for a group of powerless mortals?"
In the eyes of most superhumans, Bai Mo was someone who had betrayed his class. He should have followed the rules of the game, stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid, and, representing the superhuman collective, established a strictly hierarchical society, ruling over everything.
Instead of becoming as he was now, forcibly tearing humanity apart and utterly ruining the game.
"Is there a difference?" Bai Mo turned his head and replied.
"You clearly know that dragons and snakes are not the same kind of creature."
"From ancient times until now, why has the concept of 'class' as a group existed?
That is only because an individual's energy and power cannot encompass everything; they must share the majority with others to jointly protect common interests.
Ancient emperors proclaimed themselves Sons of Heaven, nominally possessing all under heaven, but in reality, they had to share it with their officials. Without the bureaucracy below them, they alone could not govern the realm.
But I don't need to. My power and will are enough to grasp everything, to control everything."
"......"
"I understand.
You've directly stepped into the position of an End-State Producer."
Yue Yu said calmly.
"Everything earthlings now possess is merely a result of your charity."
"Wouldn't the world be better if it were a little more interesting?" Bai Mo did not directly answer her doubt.
......
"Thank you, and goodbye."
Seeing the conversation approach a stalemate, Yue Yu proactively suggested leaving.
Yun Jie seemed to have left some contingency, allowing her to sense his reincarnated self more clearly.
Unfortunately, the Reincarnation Tribulation only holds meaning if one actively awakens their memories on their own; being awakened by others renders all previous efforts futile. Otherwise, he would have directly asked Yue Yu to help him awaken.
......
"See you in fifty, or perhaps a hundred, years," Bai Mo said before they parted ways.
"?" Yue Yu was somewhat bewildered, looking at him with a puzzled gaze.
Her trip following Bai Mo here felt like it had taken less than two days, so why was he suddenly talking about fifty or a hundred years?
However, Yue Yu knew well that because of Bai Mo's excessive power, he possessed far more information than anyone else, which was why he often spoke cryptically, like a prophet.
"I have my own path to walk."
"Good luck." The girl's figure vanished, leaving only her voice lingering in the air, along with a faint scent of osmanthus.
Yue Yu could vaguely guess that Bai Mo was likely about to undergo his "who-knew-how-many-eth" Reincarnation Tribulation.
Although she was also curious that Bai Mo's previous tribulations had all passed so quickly, yet this time it would take half a century—it was certainly out of the ordinary. However, compared to Yun Jie's matter, her curiosity had to take a backseat.
She would secretly watch over the other's reincarnation until Yun Jie recovered his memories.
......
"An End-State Producer... indeed?" After seeing Yue Yu off, Bai Mo remained in place, muttering to himself.
After a moment, he turned and departed, returning to the empty White Month.
......
In the blink of an eye, another half-year passed.
"Sun, here we come!"
A group of incredibly excited Earth players entered their designated thought-transfer pods.
The first team, consisting of five thousand "Plasma Base Vehicles" constructed from Bai Mo's power, and fifty thousand Flame Spirit Guards also formed from his power, were transported to a location only five hundred kilometers from the Sun's surface.
Each player would initially possess one base vehicle and ten Flame Spirit Guards capable of fighting freely on the Sun. Subsequent progress would depend entirely on individual performance.
"The system has given us a hundred years of free play time..."
"A hundred years... does that mean we'll spend half our lives on this game?"
"Not necessarily. The system allows for the transfer of controller identities."
"With such an interesting game, who needs the real world? It's simply fulfilling my dream of traveling through other worlds with a base vehicle!"
Thousands of bases rose from a corner of the Sun, yet they didn't stir a single ripple on this immensely vast fireball.
......
"First, build a few 'dogs' to scout the way, then construct two energy collection towers..." Yu Le was one of the chosen players. The MK-12 zone where he landed seemed somewhat desolate, and within the reconnaissance units' field of vision, no traces of Solar Star Spirits were found.
Of course, in reality, the Sun was indeed quite "vast and sparsely populated."
The low-level Solar Star Spirit settlements living on the surface generally lived by following the fire, directly feeding on the Sun's energy. The density of energy determined the population of a settlement.
In terms of diet, they were not much different from the Holy Progenitors who had descended upon the Sun.
This cluster of "viruses" attempting to "infect" the Sun thus quietly took root in a corner of its periphery.
PS: Terribly sorry, I went to Yunnan for some matters a few days ago, and didn't have time to write. I skipped a few days of updates..
