Honkai Exposed as the Universe's Immune Mechanism, Tang Wulin Falls into Despair
But only today did he realize that he might... just be a slightly stronger experimental subject, kept in a "filter".
The so-called Dragon Clan and the so-called domination of the Divine Realm appear so insignificant and laughable in the face of these grand narratives that are measured in "hundreds of millions of years" and "planetary civilizations".
The Dragon Prince's scales stood on end, and he saw a wavering in his Father God's eyes that he had never seen before.
That was a collapse of my entire worldview.
Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy.
A fine layer of cold sweat appeared on Huo Yuhao's forehead.
His Spiritual Eye were fixed on every word on the Light Screen, his Divine Power operating at an unprecedented speed, trying to analyze and understand this terrifying information.
"Positively correlated with the development of civilization..."
He thought of the Sun Moon Empire.
I thought of the Soul Tool Technology that was advancing by leaps and bounds.
He thought of those powerful level nine and Level 10 Soul Tool that could even threaten Limit Douluo.
He has always regarded Soul Tool Technology as the crystallization of human wisdom and the hope for ordinary Soul Master to fight against powerful Martial Soul.
But now...
If what the Light Screen says is true, then isn't the path the Sun Moon Empire is taking a deadly fast track to "Honkai"?
Every time they created a more powerful Soul Tool, every technological innovation they made added a heavy weight to the destruction of the entire Douluo Star.
"How so..."
He Caitou muttered to himself, feeling his hands and feet turn ice cold. This top genius of the Soul Tool Department was now feeling ice cold.
He dedicated his life to the research and creation of Soul Tool; this was his pride and the source of his life's value.
But now, what he is most proud of is being defined as the culprit behind natural disasters.
This blow was heavier than the defeat in any battle.
Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei exchanged a glance, both seeing deep shock and lingering fear in each other's eyes.
They think further ahead.
If the development of Soul Tool Technology leads to Honkai, then what about the cultivation of Soul Master?
Soul Master weak to powerful, constantly breaking through their limits, becoming Titled Douluo, Limit Douluo, and even gods... Could this be considered a form of "civilizational development"?
If that's the case, doesn't it mean that their pursuit of power is itself a mistake?
The moment this thought arose, all the Soul Master, regardless of their location or cultivation level, felt a chill emanating from the depths of their souls.
Another time and space.
Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena stood side by side, their expressions equally solemn.
"Civilization Filter..."
Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Bloodline stirred restlessly within him, as if sensing the oppressive force of some ancient enemy.
"Which is more terrifying, this so-called ' Honkai ' or the Abyss Plane?"
A complex light flickered in Gu Yuena's silver eyes.
She said softly, "The Abyss is devouring, it's invasion. But this ' Honkai ' is more like... a kind of Immune Mechanism of the universe itself."
"Immune Mechanism?" Tang Wulin asked, puzzled.
"Yes." Gu Yuena's voice carried a hint of bitterness. "It seems to regard 'civilization' itself as a kind of 'virus' that needs to be eliminated. When the virus develops to a certain extent, the immune system will activate and completely eradicate it."
This metaphor made Tang Wulin instantly understand the terrifying aspect of it.
Viruses can be resisted and eliminated.
But what if you yourself are the virus?
Your very existence is Original Sin.
Every breath you take, every step you take as you grow, is accelerating your own death.
What a hopeless fate this is!
The Star Luo Empire Palace.
Emperor Dai Hao suddenly stood up from his throne, his bright yellow robe sleeves trembling violently with his excitement.
"Absurd! Utterly absurd!"
As a great ruler, his lifelong pursuit was to expand the territory, enrich the country and strengthen the army, so that the Star Luo Empire could achieve unprecedented prosperity.
But now, this Light Screen is telling him that prosperity equals a path to death?
What's the point of all his efforts over the years?
In the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Ye slumped on his throne, his gaze vacant.
He recalled the oppression of the Spirit Hall, and the war between the two great empires...
Faced with the ultimate catastrophe of "Honkai," which affects the entire planet and even the entire universe, the struggles between human nations seem like a childish game of make-believe.
Ning Rongrong and her father Ning Tian looked at each other in bewilderment.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect (also known Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect) is incredibly wealthy, a symbol of wealth and prosperity on the continent.
But now, the word "prosperity" has been tainted with an ominous connotation.
A distant God Domain.
Longbow Wei, this Lord of the Mysteries, had a deep sense of compassion in his eyes.
"Over a billion years... how many brilliant civilizations have vanished silently..."
He could almost see beautiful planets turning into cosmic dust in the face of "Honkai," and countless beings wailing in despair.
But he, the God of Death, couldn't even guide their souls.
Lei Xiang, the Mad God standing beside him, unusually did not erupt in rage.
His face bore an expression that was a mixture of horror and trembling.
He could Heaven Dou and the gods, but he didn't know how to fight against a kind of "law" of the universe.
A'Dai, the former god Mandun the King of Underworld, now a planet incarnate, senses this more clearly than anyone else.
The moment the words appeared on the Light Screen, he felt the Law Chain that constituted his body tremble slightly.
It was a suppression brought about by a higher, more fundamental Laws.
For the first time, he clearly "saw" that there was indeed a cold, periodic pulsation in the cosmic background radiation.
It is formless and intangible, yet it is everywhere.
In the past, he thought it was just the lingering echo of the universe's breath.
Now he understands.
That was the pulse of "Honkai".
Tian Hen, Ye Yinzhu, Zi, Ji Dong, Lie Yan, Zhou Weiqing...
Each of the powerful figures who once stood at the pinnacle of their respective worlds felt the same shock and powerlessness.
They conquered enemies, triumphed over fate, and created miracles.
But faced with such a cold, cruel, and irrational cosmic law, all their wisdom and power seem to have lost their meaning.
Shock, curiosity, fear, confusion...
Various emotions intertwined and fermented in the hearts of every living being in Myriad Worlds.
They were eager to know more.
What exactly is the form of this "Honkai"?
How did it destroy civilization?
How did the so-called "Earth" become the "last" Survivor?
Just as everyone's minds were gripped by this terrifying truth, and they fell into a deathly silence of thought.
The text on the Light Screen changed once again.
The sentence describing "Honkai" slowly faded away.
Instead, a completely new, more specific, and even more chilling headline appeared.
