What the hell does this happen?
High in the sky.
Survival is in an 'out-of-body' state, floating aimlessly in mid-air.
He flew over the forest, then over the grass, and finally hovered at the entrance to the underground cave in the human settlement.
More than three months have passed, and now the entrance to the underground cave is filled with millions of purple-black mushrooms.
They were tightly packed together, one layer on top of the other, like ocean waves, so densely packed that the entire cave entrance was completely blocked.
Although there are many mushrooms, they cannot prevent survival in the 'out-of-body' state.
In this state, Chengshuo easily passed through the mushroom at the entrance of the cave and entered the interior of the settlement.
But in the entire settlement, countless dead or semi-conscious survivors were buried in the ground at this moment.
Some of them had half of their bodies exposed, or some of their heads exposed.
There are countless purple-black mushrooms growing on the bodies of these survivors. The mushrooms have roots that are buried deep in the ground, connecting the survivors to the earth.
Seeing this scene, Chengshuo suddenly understood:
The ultimate goal of the unnameable biological 'bacteria' on the planet 021, which infects animals, plants and even humans, is to assimilate all life into a whole.
The source of pollution, 'dark spores', and the purple-black mushrooms derived from them, are the media used by 'bacteria' to assimilate other life forms.
This is not difficult to understand:
Flowers, trees and other plants need to take root in the earth and absorb nutrients from the soil.
The underground of Planet 021 is full of 'dark spores', a derivative of 'bacteria', and purple-black mushrooms derived from 'dark spores'. There is no element of 'soil' at all.
As a result, plant roots can only take root in the 'dark spores' and purple-black mushrooms, and draw nutrients from these derivatives.
Over time, the plants on the entire planet were naturally assimilated by the 'dark spores' and purple-black mushrooms.
After the plants are contaminated, the animals that feed on the plants are naturally contaminated by the 'bacteria'.
So the whole planet fell.
This is the entire process of planet 021 being contaminated.
As for humans
After all, humans are intelligent creatures and know how to distinguish which foods can be eaten and which foods cannot be eaten.
Since the disaster broke out and the pollution spread, the survivors have been eating fungi, crystal mushrooms, moss and other foods that are not contaminated by 'bacteria', and they have been surviving to this day.
Until the arrival of the surviving group, the local unnameable biological 'bacteria' became more active, causing the pollution on Planet 021 to intensify.
So mankind completely perished.
wrong.
To be precise, the humans on Planet 021 did not really perish, but were dragged into an eternal illusion after being parasitized by purple-black mushrooms.
These human beings will continue to experience various horrific scenes in the fantasy world, and like batteries, emit "fear emotions" for the unspeakable creatures "fungus" to eat.
Forever
Do you want to wait until your lifespan is exhausted and die of old age? And end the pain?
nonexistent.
Just like the 'Blissful Ones' on the Xuanwu Planet, the 'Evil Things' on the Warlock Planet, and the 'Spiritual Roots' on the White Qiu Star.
The source of power for polluted humans is indescribable creatures.
And the power of indescribable creatures is endless.
All polluted humans have nearly eternal life.
On Planet 021, as long as the indescribable biological bacteria do not die, these polluted humans will be immortal.
If indescribable creatures are compared to humans, then humans are like cattle and sheep in the pasture.
Individually, cattle and sheep will die.
But their group can reproduce and exist forever. The cattle and sheep will be kept in captivity by humans forever and ever, and will provide humans with meat forever.
Same reason.
Humans on Planet 021 will also be trapped by indescribable creatures for eternity, and will provide 'fear emotions' to indescribable creatures forever.
…
Inside the underground settlement.
Chengshuo, who was floating in his soul state, soon came to the secret room where he had been in seclusion before.
He saw Diao Zhiming, Buddha and the Mother of Pain, who were covered with countless mushrooms all over their bodies and had been dragged into the illusion by the mushrooms.
I don’t know what kind of illusion these three people are experiencing.
Thinking like this, with curiosity in his heart, Chengshuo carefully released a trace of his consciousness and penetrated into the sea of Diao Zhiming's consciousness.
The next second.
Chengsheng suddenly appeared in a simple house built of sand.
There is a man and a woman in this sand and earth house.
The woman among them was holding a baby in her arms. As expected, this baby was none other than Diao Zhiming who had been dragged into the illusion.
This scene made Chengsheng feel a little baffled.
There doesn’t seem to be anything scary about this illusion, right? ?
Although the technology in the fantasy world that Diao Zhiming entered was relatively backward, at least his parents were still alive and there was still a house to live in.
Isn't this quite happy?
Time flows extremely fast in the fantasy world.
With doubts in his heart, Chengshuo silently observed Diao Zhiming's life in the illusion from the perspective of a bystander.
The fantasy world where Diao Zhiming lives is a slave society, and the entire society is ruled by the 'Pharaoh'.
Since both Diao Zhiming's parents were slaves of the Pharaoh, and the descendants of slaves will always be slaves, when Diao Zhiming grew up in the illusion, he also became a slave of the Pharaoh.
There is a saying circulating in this fantasy world: Anyone who can own a pyramid of their own will be able to ascend to the divine realm after death.
So in order to ascend to the divine realm after death, the Pharaoh ordered his slaves to build a pyramid for him day and night.
At the same time, in order to motivate his slaves, the Pharaoh promised that as long as the slaves worked hard enough, he would build their own pyramids for them in the future.
So all the slaves, including Diao Zhiming, worked hard to lift bricks and lay tiles, just to become the most diligent among them all.
"As long as I work hard, one day I will have my own pyramid!"
"If 10 hours of work a day is not enough, then 12 hours. If 12 hours is not enough, then 20 hours!"
When Diao Zhiming worked for the Pharaoh, he always kept the word diligence in mind.
But the pyramid is just a lie.
Diao Zhiming worked hard for the Pharaoh all his life, but he could not own his own pyramid until his death.
This world is an illusion after all.
After death, Diao Zhiming's soul did not dissipate, but floated next to his body, with endless regret in his eyes.
This scene made Chengshuo feel even more puzzled.
After all, the nameless biological 'bacteria' on Planet 021 feed on human fear.
But Diao Zhiming spent his whole life in an illusion, without even a shred of fear. So what is the significance of the existence of this illusion?
Continue to observe.
Time in the illusion flowed extremely fast, and Diao Zhiming experienced another life in a flash.
After all, Diao Zhiming is a monk in the transformation stage.
In this life, he finally solved the mystery in the womb and awakened his past memories.
With the memory of his past life, Diao Zhiming became a scientist in the fantasy world.
He invented and innovated, brought many benefits to the human beings in the fantasy world, and even single-handedly pushed the world from a slave society to a feudal era.
However, due to his poor and humble background, even though Diao Zhiming made many contributions, his name could not be remembered by the world after his death.
His achievements were stolen by wealthy families and bureaucrats.
He eventually died in poverty.
But after all, Diao Zhiming is a monk in the transformation stage, and his determination is far beyond comparison with other people.
Diao Zhiming remained optimistic after his death.
"It doesn't matter. Although there is no extraordinary power in the fantasy world and I cannot practice cultivation, as long as I work hard to change the world and continue to develop science and technology, then one day all mankind will be liberated! Even mechanical ascension will be achieved in the future!"
"As long as we develop technology to the extreme, we may not be able to compete with immortal cultivators!"
time flies.
The third life.
Fourth life.
Although Diao Zhiming was born extremely poor and humble every time he was reincarnated, he has always been committed to transforming the entire world and constantly fighting for the liberation of all mankind.
From the feudal age, to the steam age, to the electrical age, to the information technology age, and finally to the artificial intelligence age.
Diao Zhiming experienced countless reincarnations and finally single-handedly advanced the world's technology to the point where humans can support themselves even without working.
But class distinctions in the human world still exist!
And no matter how far productivity has advanced, this phenomenon has always existed!
As a monk in the transformation stage, Diao Zhiming also wanted to go there and practice, but this world was just an illusion, and there was a huge gap between it and the real world.
There is no extraordinary power in the fantasy world, and humans cannot practice in this world.
As for escaping and doing nothing?
Then they will starve to death, and before they starve to death, they will suffer great torture because they refuse to work, leading to poverty.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Diao Zhiming, who had been tortured for countless years, once again failed in his attempt to change his life.
At this moment, Diao Zhiming was completely desperate.
"Yes, it is human nature to suppress fellow humans."
"After all, humans in ancient times could only gain reproductive advantages by suppressing their own kind. Only by taking away the resources of their own kind and making them unable to find a mate would their genes be able to continue more easily."
"This kind of gene has evolved over millions or even hundreds of millions of years. It is nature and cannot be changed."
"So no matter how advanced the technology is, the top among humans will always suppress the bottom."
After understanding this fact, Diao Zhiming instantly felt an indescribable feeling of fear in his heart.
This fear is also mixed with despair, pain and other emotions.
But the main thing is fear.
As long as Diao Zhiming thinks that there will be countless reincarnations waiting for him in the future, and that he will only be reincarnated as a low-level person in the illusion for eternity, no matter how advanced the technology is, he will never be able to stand up, he immediately feels endless fear. .
The "emotion of fear" exuded by Diao Zhiming at this moment was so intense that it was rarely seen in his lifetime.
What kind of despair is needed to breed so much fear?
I can't imagine it, and I don't want to think about it.
"I don't want reincarnation anymore!"
Don't know why.
At this moment, Diao Zhiming suddenly saw Cheng Sheng, who had been watching from the sidelines.
Maybe it's because I've been through too many reincarnations.
Diao Zhiming looked at Chengshuo and was stunned for a long time before reacting: "Chengshuo?? You are Chengshuo, a fellow Taoist, right? How did you come to my fantasy world? Can you take me out? You broke through to the integration stage. Right?"
Chengshuo showed unbearable expression: "I haven't been able to break through to the integration stage, and now I can't even protect myself."
"I just came to your fantasy world in my soul state by chance."
"As for me to take you out of the fantasy world, I must first completely cleanse your seriously contaminated body in the real world."
"But here's the thing."
Chengshuo said helplessly: "In the real world, I can't even control my own body. How can I help you remove the pollution in your body?"
"You can't protect yourself either?"
Diao Zhiming was stunned when he heard this.
He didn't go into details about why Chengsheng was able to enter his world, but just asked: "Then you can do it by killing me, right?"
"Fellow Taoist is, after all, a monk at the stage of becoming a god. Although he cannot control his body, he still can control his spiritual consciousness."
"In the fantasy world, the strength of my consciousness is only equivalent to that of an ordinary mortal."
"Fellow Taoist, take action!"
"With the strength of my consciousness now, my fellow Taoist should be able to kill me without any effort!"
In a fantasy world.
Diao Zhiming, in his soul state, rushed to Chenghuo and bowed his hands and said: "Fellow Taoist, please let me be liberated!"
"This fantasy world is so outrageous."
"How can such a world exist in reality? It doesn't matter if you can't practice cultivation. How can the people at the bottom live forever? The people at the bottom cannot stand up in every reincarnation. Isn't this too outrageous?"
There was a hint of pleading in Diao Zhiming's tone, and he rushed to Cheng Huo and said, "Fellow Taoist Cheng, please kill me and free me. I'm begging you!"
Chengshuo showed a trace of unbearability in his eyes.
He closed his eyes and said, "Maybe I can save you. Maybe I can find a way to save you from the illusion."
"I can not wait anymore."
Diao Zhiming was already determined to die: "If I'm not wrong, the speed of time in the fantasy world and the real world should be different, right? Maybe by the time fellow Taoist finds a way, I will have spent tens of thousands of years or even more in the fantasy world. Hundreds of thousands of years!”
"As a monk in the transformation stage, I have enjoyed countless glory and wealth in my life, and traveled with stars and moons in my sight, but I didn't expect to end up like this: as an ordinary person in the illusion, going through countless reincarnations."
"This is worse than killing me."
"I just want relief now!"
In the illusion, Diao Zhiming's consciousness was only as strong as a mortal's.
Killing Diao Zhiming's consciousness is just a piece of cake for survival.
In fantasy.
Seeing that Diao Zhiming only wanted to die, Chengsheng sighed helplessly: "Although there are no unspeakable creatures wreaking havoc in this fantasy world, and even wars rarely occur, in my opinion, it is far scarier than the real world." Ten thousand times!"
"Ordinary people can't practice and don't have extraordinary power, which means that the bottom will always be the bottom."
"Okay, then I will help fellow Taoist to be liberated as soon as possible!"
After saying this, Chengshuo raised his hand and pointed at Diao Zhiming.
The next second, under the stranglehold of the living consciousness, Diao Zhiming's entire soul was destroyed in form and spirit, and he no longer existed.
