Civilisation

"You traitors to humanity! You were born of humans, yet you betrayed them, considering yourselves superior beings!"

A voice resonates within these consciousnesses, a voice containing power that touches the very core of people's consciousness. If one's will is flawed, this power will invade the cracks of one's heart, pry open the inner guilt, and ultimately infect one's entire soul.

For Zhong Sangtan, turning someone into his believer or an alter ego meant turning that person into one of his own personalities.

"Those bald monks' methods have all been eradicated, but I didn't expect anyone here would still be using them," one of the players said calmly.

Buddhism is a practice from the previous era that advocates that everyone has Buddha-nature within them and can become a Buddha. They discovered the power within people's hearts and guided them to a higher level, freeing them from the various evils of humanity.

They subdued all kinds of monsters, calling them the Eight Heavenly Dragons, and transformed their good intentions into the Buddha. People at that time even believed that under the Buddha's protection, there would be a pure land on earth.

Then the Buddha disappeared. Those who practiced Buddhism had too high a spiritual vision. Although they had the Dharma to maintain their inner peace, and could restrain or even subdue various Mythical Creature, they went completely mad when faced with beings that were beyond human or even Buddha's comprehension. Their thoughts turned into demons.

The so-called Buddha is nothing more than a path for humanity to transcend itself, but it is still the path of failure.

Of course, although the other party failed, there are still many things to learn from this path. In this era, humans excavated ancient ruins and obtained a large amount of research data. Zhong Sangtan's ability is personality assimilation.

Everyone's soul will be assimilated into one of their own personalities, and different personalities can gain different abilities. For example, he previously had a personality called Ghost, which was detached from his body and could sense the malice of others and tell it to him.

His other personality is named Akalin, who can conceal his own presence and make others forget him.

Zhong Sangtan, who possesses dozens of personalities, has a variety of abilities. He practices Buddhism only to better differentiate his own personalities or to exploit the weaknesses of others and influence them to become his own personalities.

However, since players traverse so many worlds, those with flaws in their minds would hardly be able to go that far and would have died in other worlds long ago. Zhong Sangtan did not intend to make the other party abandon their persistence and Integration into his own world just by relying on words.

"So you still consider yourself human?" another player said. "Whether it's your body, genes, bloodline, soul, or essence, you can't be considered human. We've long since transcended the realm that humans can reach."

"Humans band together to compensate for each other's weaknesses and flaws. But when a species becomes powerful, it becomes a nation or a world in itself, needing no one else, because one person is enough!" another voice said slowly.

When organisms band together to their peak, that is civilization. Powerful civilizations can even give birth to gods of civilization. Of course, such gods of civilization have great limitations and are a semi-failed path.

Powerful super-life forms are manifestations of the rules of the multiverse, but civilization gods are completely altered with the changes in civilization, and may even perish with the destruction of their civilizations, making them utterly inferior to the truly indescribable.

In the previous era, humanity was not without its own gods, such as Bastet, the guardian deity of cats, or simply the cat master, and various other gods, but they all perished with the Destruction of the previous era, and those beings cease to exist.

The gods of civilization rely too much on their own civilizations, which is not a normal path. Moreover, they are weaker than those beings who represent the Avatar of the rules of the multiverse, such as Gresta. Now, Gresta controls the dark side of many worlds. Even if his planetary kingdom is destroyed, he can be reborn in a short time because he has been promoted to the dark side of the rules of the multiverse.

"Why not? As long as I acknowledge the identity of humanity and accept human culture, then I am human!" Zhong Sangtan. "Under the Light of Civilization, even those indescribable things will transform into human beings!"

"Therefore, the so-called 'C Plan' should be correctly interpreted as the Civilization Plan, not the so-called Collapse Plan or Concert Plan." Yemo's consciousness, constantly guiding other consciousnesses towards destruction, confirmed upon hearing Zhong Sangtan's words. "You want to guide that being into becoming human? That's wishful thinking!"

"Humans are just humans. From their way of thinking to their cognition to the essence of their existence, there is a vast and unbridgeable gap between them. This is simply impossible."

"We initially thought it was impossible, but in reality, we already have an example," Zhong Sangtan said with a light laugh. "Isn't the Shadow Lord the best example?"

"Even after the other party ascends to the level of the indescribable, it still possesses some behaviors that can be understood by humans. Therefore, it is not that humans are incapable of influencing great beings; it's just that in the past, humanity's influence was far too insignificant!"

"And this time, by leveraging the power of the barrier, connecting with the endless planes surrounding Waterblue Star, and guiding the Light of Civilization within them, the one who reappears will be the first great being to exist as a human being!!!"

Outside, he entered the cave and peered through the cracks to observe the surging presence within. Then, his armor degenerated into black liquid, and the surrounding black crystals surged towards him, completely transforming his body into black liquid, which flowed down into the cracks.

"Do you really still believe that person is human?" In his inner world, Yemo looked at Zhong Sangtan: "Even if He behaves like a human, if you could look directly into His heart, you would find that the essence of His heart is indescribable, incomprehensible, absolutely unknowable, ineffable, incomprehensible, and inconceivable!"

"Your understanding of Him is nothing more than seeing the surface of the other side, yet you presumptuously draw conclusions. How ridiculous!" Xu Mingfei said softly, then disappeared with a ripple.

Meanwhile, on the Waterblue Star, the enormous crimson star, the Gheros that brings Destruction and death, is striking the Waterblue Star's barrier. As the fulcrum decreases, the barrier weakens, allowing the Death Omen Star to get even closer to the Waterblue Star.

The approach of the Death Omen Star caused the creatures on the Waterblue Star to begin to collapse and face death, but they could still hold on for a while thanks to the protection of the barrier.

The next moment, all the barriers shrank towards the Waterblue Star, passing through various gaps and entering the deepest space, where Gheros's main body appeared in the world of the Waterblue Star.

A colossal, rust-red planet, its Marine Species of liquid iron forming a giant eye, gazes upon the final obstacle to its eternal mission!
