Due to the temporal and spatial characteristics of the Silent Land, it is entirely possible for future Chosen of the Gods to arrive in the past. If someone brought the Pure Flame of the Glorious Realm to the Harmony Island and then left it there in some way, it is not impossible that many years later, it would become the scene that Lu Ban saw.

This gave Lu Ban two insights. First, the Purifying Fire is controllable, and the methods used by the Head Miko of the Wa Island Grand Shrine to control the Purifying Fire are relatively primitive. To achieve control, one must use the pollution brought about by strong negative emotions.

In contrast, the Glazed Fire, which can be contained in a single bottle, is incredibly easy to contain.

If the Corrupted Ones on the Harmony Island can truly only be eliminated by the Purifying Fire, then the technologies and items used by the Glorious Realm to control the Purifying Fire may, to some extent, curb its destructive effects on the world itself.

Of course, according to this Little Fishmen, the Glorious Realm has been destroyed, perhaps because of the loss of control of the Pure Fire?

To understand these things, Lu Ban first needs to know the Anchor Point of the Glorious Realm. At the same time, he also needs to use the power of time travel to go to the past of the Glorious Realm, before it was destroyed.

The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.

"Woo la gua la ha la gala pala ao ah!"

On the other side, the Little Fishmen let out a very miserable cry. Most of his body had been eaten by Feng Yu, leaving only his head.

Snap—

Feng Yu quickly chewed up the Little Fishmen's head and swallowed it.

"Is it tasty?"

Lu Ban asked a question.

What do you think?

Feng Yu wiped his mouth.

"I have a feeling it might not taste good."

Lu Ban felt that his biggest flaw in life was probably being a picky eater, especially now that he often ate Feng Yu's food.

After eating Feng Yu's cooking, he no longer finds ordinary food appealing.

"Let me savor his memories."

Feng Yu seemed to have something in her mouth as she spoke while closing her eyes.

A moment later, Feng Yu opened his eyes.

"He did indeed hold back some things."

"You're really shameless; I've already read it all to you."

Upon hearing Feng Yu's words, Lu Ban immediately replied.

"Otherwise, how do you think we could perfectly replace someone without being noticed by those around us?"

Feng Yu chuckled softly.

"Wait a minute, does that mean Feng Yu's body is actually..."

Lu Ban did not continue speaking.

He saw Feng Yu smiling, but there was a chill in her eyes that was colder than the sea.

"Mom, have you found anything?"

Lu Ban immediately said.

"You're making me sound old."

Feng Yu's smile lost its chill, and she continued speaking.

"There are still many items from the Glorious Realm in the shop at that Gate of Claustrophobia, and this guy has seen Du Danping before, during a mission related to the Glorious Realm."

"!!!"

The grass on Lu Ban's wound turned into an exclamation mark.

"According to the description, the Glorious Realm was once a powerful alien realm, like the Silent Land, ruling over many alien realms and even once able to resist corruption. However, destruction still came irreversibly. The things of the Glorious Realm were scattered throughout the alien realms, leaving behind some ruins. Some of these ruins sealed the Old Ones they fought against, while others preserved the extraordinary power of the Glorious Realm. It seems that many of the merfolk's missions are related to the Glorious Realm."

Feng Yu spoke as if recalling a past event.

"It can fight pollution, that's amazing?"

Lu Ban was somewhat surprised.

But upon closer reflection, many of those great beings and Old Gods are indeed sealed away. Their interplay is part of the process. Is it possible that this alien realm called the Glorious Realm is the source of this secret?

For example, the beings behind that door in the Ruined City, the gods on Aldebaran, and the Old Ones sealed in that ruin in the Pacific Ocean. With so many Great Old Ones sealed away, there must be someone to take the blame.

Perhaps the Glorious Realm itself is the abode of an even more powerful deity?

If we want to solve the pollution problem in our own world, maybe studying the Glorious Realm will be helpful?

Lu Ban considered this a windfall.

Moreover, Du Danping was also searching for this thing, so he must know about these things. Perhaps that's why he was watched by the evil god in that grand theater and perished.

"You've been traveling to this foreign land for so long, how come you don't know about the Glorious Realm?"

Lu Ban asked again.

Logically speaking, given Feng Yu's extensive travels to various exotic regions, it's impossible that he hadn't heard of the Glorious Realm.

"I only know what I know."

Feng Yu did not answer; she seemed to be thinking as well.

Lu Ban pondered that Feng Yu might have heard of or seen things related to the Glorious Realm before, but he didn't have this concept. Now, he had connected everything together.

"And this too."

Feng Yu handed the dagger to Lu Ban.

Lu Ban saw that above the dagger, the system's cold and indifferent text appeared.

[Touch of Pain]

[Unidentified]

[Appraisal Price: 100 Silence Points]

Good grief, it's still unidentified.

Seeing this, Lu Ban suddenly felt a bit cheated.

"How?"

When Feng Yu saw Lu Ban staring blankly at the dagger, he assumed that Lu Ban had recognized something.

"No, I was just thinking, could we sell the Little Fishmen we just saw in the Silent Land?"

Lu Ban pondered.

"Live animals should not be sold."

Feng Yu's lips twitched.

"So, if it's made into fish meat, it should be able to produce something like delicious, contaminated fish meat, or exquisite fish maw?"

Lu Ban's imagination ran wild, and he couldn't wait to grab a Little Fishmen and dismantle him on the spot.

"Are you really not some reincarnation of an evil god?"

Feng Yu pursed his lips.

"Isn't this helping them open up new product channels and optimize their industrial structure?"

Lu Ban turned his gaze back to the dagger and clicked on [Appraisal].

[Touch of Pain]

[erosion]

In Chongqing, physical objects are quite rare.

Some of the pebbles, swept up by the storms of the foggy city, were polished in the whirlpools and eventually formed some unique shapes.

[Contaminated Stone acquire the ability to spread pollution.]

[Once you are harmed by it, it will cause severe pollution and eventually lead to madness.]

"Handle with care!"

Lu Ban checked the price in [Silence Department Store], and it wasn't too high, just over 600,000 Silence Points.

He himself is not lacking in weapons; the crowbar in his hand is still quite durable. However, the setting that if he cuts himself, he will hear the murmurs of an indescribable Great Being and gradually go mad is quite dangerous for ordinary people.

As for why Lu Ban didn't go crazy after being slashed?

Lu Ban felt that it might be because he had a very positive set of values, which was enough to resist the ravings of the evil god.

In short, this thing was of little use to Lu Ban, and the price wasn't very high, so he decided to sell it.

They put it up in the Silence Department Store and priced it at 550,000 according to the suggested retail price. Lu Ban and Feng Yu then decided to take back the Weird Amusement Park.

It's time to go home.
