"What are the specifics of C Plan?" Still in that underground chamber, three light screens lit up, and negotiations were taking place in this gradually collapsing world.

"The main body of the plan is 75% complete. Thanks to our cooperation, Nyogtha has awakened from its slumber!"

"But that's not enough. We need to carry out the final step of C Plan: unleash the Light of Civilization, infect Nyogtha, and make him accept human civilization. Even if he can't become human, let him become a great being who accepts humanity!"

The next moment, various lights emanated from Nyogtha's body. His previous journey to the deepest part of the cave, as if it were a ritual, involved discarding Mary, who ate humans, symbolizing the abandonment of his own inhuman nature.

Then, one by one, the others perished, symbolizing the three great human emotions: kinship, friendship, and love. Driven by this ritual, and with the hidden hand planted within Nyogtha, C Plan, the Civilization Plan, was launched.

During the time when Nyogtha was cast out of his state, a part of His consciousness fell into that state, becoming the Child of Ashes. He reincarnated for hundreds of years, experiencing various characters, loves, hates, and grudges. At the same time, a part of His body also went through different lives along with the pivot.

The lives of those people were absorbed into Nyogtha's body tissues as tonics. With the launch of C Plan, the existence of these humans connected with humans in other worlds, and they all turned into a ray of light, that is, the Light of Civilization.

They had no intention of eliminating the gamers who had invaded the target's body; on the contrary, they were happy to see it happen. Cheng Kui's information had been deliberately leaked in the first place, which led to the gamers' killing spree.

After all, for those implementing C Plan, the participation of players makes C Plan more likely to be completed.

No matter how human-like Cheng Kui's consciousness may be, his essence is still that of Child of Ashes, and he still possesses the inner nature of a monster. These gamers, on the other hand, claim to have transcended the realm of humanity and are life forms superior to humans, but their essence still leans towards human civilization, making them more susceptible to the Light of Civilization.

Nyogtha's black body slowly transformed into a huge black human figure. This human figure stood on the shattered earth, with his hands hanging naturally at his sides and his head bowed as if he were asleep.

"The target has taken on a human form, C Plan is showing initial results!" someone exclaimed excitedly.

Nyogtha's form was amorphous, but now it has coalesced into a human form, indicating that the influence of the Light of Civilization on Nyogtha is manifesting. Gradually, Nyogtha's drooping head is raised, and the features on his face slowly become prominent.

"The indescribable depth of the impact is confirmed, and it remains incomprehensible, but it will not cause any unknowable cognitive shock to people, because Nyogtha is now also human. C Plan has succeeded!"

"As expected, even the Great Old Days Ones are nothing more than something more profound. Humans can conquer them and transform them into human power!"

"Wait, Nyogtha is changing!"

The pitch-black giant standing on the earth radiated a dazzling Light of Civilization, as if telling the story of all humanity. The giant's face kept changing, sometimes it was Zhong Sangtan, sometimes Xu Mingfei, sometimes Yemo, and the faces of others kept changing.

"It doesn't matter. No matter who he transforms into, he is still human now, a human who has mastered great power. And as long as he is human, he will surely follow our plan!"

Looking at the devastated city and the cries of agony of humanity across the Waterblue Star, the giant was suddenly overcome with pity. Influenced by the Light of Civilization, the giant felt an overwhelming sense of identification with human civilization.

To understand the world today through the lens of human culture is to see it as a global catastrophe, a tragedy for civilization. As human beings, we would all feel hatred for Gheros, who has destroyed everything, and if we had the ability, we would immediately try to stop it.

The giant watched as Gheros descended from the sky, threatening to Destruction the Waterblue Star. He then charged toward the Crimson Death Omen Star, the surrounding barrier power gathering around him once more to block the descending Gheros.

Nyogtha wasn't originally that powerful; initially, it was at most comparable to Gatanothoa. However, thanks to the newly erected barrier, it was able to temporarily hold off Gheros.

However, this is normal. The barrier was something Ji Yue helped humanity build, and what it contains is not just the power of the world. It is precisely this complexity that caused the giants that resisted Gheros to begin to mutate.

By using the giant's other set of perceptions, Deepening and broader perspective, one can access the principles of how the barrier operates. It is a way of thinking that humans cannot understand at all, and cannot be comprehended from a human perspective.

With our limited understanding, humans cannot explain what the giants see. If we were to view everything in the world from the perspective of giants, even under the influence of the Light of Civilization, the giants would only find humans foolish.

Human consciousness, caught in this deviation, went mad. The very essence of human civilization Zhong Sangtan instantly. From a human perspective, it was impossible to adapt to the world viewed by such magnificent beings as giants. At this moment, the Light of Civilization seemed more like a deadly poison.

Zhong Sangtan's dozens of personalities collapsed directly. Driven by the instinct for survival, Zhong Sangtan developed new consciousness. However, due to the influence of the Light of Civilization, Zhong Sangtan's new consciousness was still a personality. Humans can never control the cognition of that existence. No matter how crazy the new personality is, as long as it is a personality, there is only one path: collapse.

"Humans cannot change what exists; they can only be changed by what exists! No matter how brilliant the Light of Civilization, it has its limits for those beings, who have transcended those limits. Therefore, to wield this power, one must surpass humanity. I will cease to be human!!!"

Internally, those gamers clearly understood this point, and thus constantly tried to change their own perceptions. As they said, humanity, being a lower form of existence, could never reach the level of a higher form of existence. Therefore, even if the power of humanity were to converge into the Light of Civilization, it would not change the essence of a higher form of existence. Using something inferior to try to transform something superior is such a foolish act.

The reason why Nyogtha could transform into human form and was unable to radiate unknowable impacts was because the Light of Civilization had simply cloaked it in a layer of clothing. But now that it had come into contact with the principles of the world, this human layer could no longer contain what was inside. The amorphous black liquid inside was spreading outwards.

Anyone who witnessed this was deeply shocked; they could not bear the existence of such a thing, their cognition was severely damaged, and they went insane.
