First Effect, Then Cause; Immune to All Poisons

[As time passed, the Meme Virus continued to iterate and evolve. Eventually, humanity across the entire planet would suffer a constant decline in intelligence and cognitive ability.]

[The first thing to vanish was the language system that the entire civilization had developed over thousands of years. All humans lost the ability to express themselves through speech.]

[What followed was the collapse of textual comprehension. All written records gradually became blurred—not because people had gone blind and could not see them, but because they could no longer understand them.]

[All humans lost the cognition of intelligent lifeforms. They retained human outlines, but their minds had devolved into ignorant beasts.]

[But this was not yet the end. Humans infected by the Meme Virus even began to undergo gradual physical distortions. Hair spread wildly across their bodies, while long tails silently mutated from their tailbones...]

[When the end arrived, all humanity across the galaxy would devolve and regress into ape-like forms. The once dazzling civilization would collapse with a crash, and all technology, culture, heritage, and knowledge would return to their starting point. Everything in civilization would begin anew.]

[What was more, the Meme Virus did not infect only organic life. Airplanes made of steel devolved into birds, while cars devolved into elephants...]

[Hundreds of millions of apes would begin a new round of evolution amid the ruins of what had once been called "home."]

[And the scope of this Meme Virus experiment was measured in galaxies.]

[How vast was a galaxy? Douluo Continent was merely one planet. Even the era of Soul Land Three: Legend of the Dragon King had failed to leave Soul Land Four. Only in the era of Soul Land Four: Ultimate Douluo had the concept of galactic civilization truly been entered.]

[No wonder the Xianzhou had always resisted "Abundance." So Meme Viruses were this terrifying...]

The diary ended there. The female leads, who had been watching the drama unfold, instantly fell into dead silence.

Everyone was utterly stunned by the horrifying premise of a Meme Virus experiment spanning an entire galaxy. The lively comment section immediately went cold, and only after a long while did someone finally leave a comment...

Soul Land Two, Xu Tianzhen: "Th-this Meme Virus is way too sinister. It's terrifying!"

Soul Land One, Dugu Yan: "Th-this counts as poison too? Yes, yes, it does... but somehow, it doesn't?"

Soul Land One, Huo Wu: "Viruses are impossible to guard against. From that perspective, a Meme Virus truly is poison..."

Soul Land One, Ye Lingling: "Yanzi, this Meme Virus is too scary. You already have a poison-attribute constitution, so why not ask Brother Mo Yu to lend you a cultivation technique? Beg the big shot to protect you~"

Soul Land One, Dugu Yan: "No, sister, how am I supposed to ask Lord Mo Yu for a cultivation technique? What if he gets unhappy and turns me into a Meme Virus instead?"

Soul Land One, Ye Lingling: "You don't need to ask with your head. Just offer yourself up! Brother Mo Yu is really nice, so I'm sure he'll lend it to you. Besides, he doesn't cultivate poison-based lifeforms anyway..."

Soul Land One, Dugu Yan: "???"

Was that even human language? Was this still her good best friend?

It was supposed to be a proper request for a cultivation technique. How had it become so wrong coming out of her mouth?

Soul Land Four, Yuanen Huihui: "So why would an airplane regress into a bird? Is it because, conceptually speaking, airplanes can fly?"

Soul Land Four, Lan Mengqin: "Holy crap, Huihui, you found the blind spot!"

Soul Land Four, Bai Xiuxiu: "No, isn't that even more terrifying when you think about it? Even metal machines with no option to regress to their ancestors can have their concepts forcibly altered and regress into living creatures?!"

Soul Land Four, Ye Lingtong: "Such methods, comparable to those of gods, were actually created by technology. How terrifying..."

Could god-level powerhouses of the Douluo Plane accomplish something like this?

Ye Lingtong did not say those words aloud.

But throughout the Diary Copy, not a single god-level powerhouse from the Soul Land Four era had left a comment. Perhaps she already had her answer in her heart...

Just as the female leads of the Myriad Heavens Diary were immersed in their shock, Qin Moyu abruptly changed the subject and suddenly revealed diary content that was even more startling...

[Speaking of Meme Viruses, I suddenly remembered that I was actually attacked by a Meme Virus back on Earth in my previous life.]

The moment those words appeared, the entire comment section exploded!

Soul Land Two, Xu Tianzhen: "???"

Soul Land Two, Xu Jiujiu: "That strong?!"

Soul Land One, Huo Wu: "Even an ordinary world has Meme Virus disasters? How terrifying..."

Soul Land One, Qian Renxue: "A technological civilization without martial souls or a cultivation system actually survived after encountering a Meme Virus?"

Soul Land One, Dugu Yan: "Lord Mo Yu, amazing!!!"

Just as the female leads imagined a scene of "Emperor Qin Moyu defying fate in his previous life and resisting a Meme Virus catastrophe," the diary content suddenly took a turn...

[Whenever I see netizens type 2.5, Kun Bro's figure automatically pops into my mind, and my body instinctively wants to dance to "Chicken You're So Beautiful." This Meme Virus has practically been carved into my DNA.]

The female leads of the Myriad Heavens Diary Copy: "???"

No, bro???

This was truly godlike...

[The Meme Virus looks unsolvable, but in truth, it is merely a crisis similar to Cthulhu-style mental pollution. There are quite a few ways to deal with it.]

[The Myriad Poisons Codex in my hands is one of them. Besides, this is only the second-stage mental poison.]

[As for the third stage, it already involves the concept of the sixth dimension—the dimension of causality. It is still very difficult for me to understand this "forbidden knowledge."]

[However, from my current observational perspective as a four-dimensional lifeform, I can barely describe the preliminary abilities of the third stage of the Myriad Poisons Codex.]

[Once cultivated to the third stage, one can transcend the timeline and become completely immune to all poison attacks originating from the timeline.]

[Whether it is a poison assassination by a future powerhouse crossing the timeline, or old hidden injuries left within the body and divine soul by poisons in a past timeline, all can be completely erased by the power of the "causality" dimension.]

[Because you are now immune to all poisons, poisons from the past, present, and future can no longer affect you. This is "First Effect, Then Cause."]

[As for the fourth stage of the Myriad Poisons Codex, I cannot see it... The descriptions of the fourth stage of the Myriad Poisons Codex are all engraved in seven-dimensional script. Having only just entered the realm of four-dimensional lifeforms, I simply cannot understand this passage of "forbidden knowledge."]

[Furthermore, whether the Myriad Poisons Codex possesses a fifth stage remains unknown. Still, there are aspects of this cultivation technique worth learning from, so I'll keep it for now...]

Inside the country inn, Qin Moyu closed his diary and stretched lazily.

The moment he turned around, he saw the neighboring room's door open. Xue Ke emerged, rubbing her sleepy eyes with a bewildered expression.

"Miss Xue Ke, you're awake?"

Qin Moyu smiled lightly in greeting and casually handed her a basket of meat buns.

"Ah... mmph, thank you, Brother Mo Yu..."

Xue Ke froze for a moment before she could react, and a meat bun lightly struck her little head.

The young girl rubbed her head, and her fair cheeks immediately turned bright red. She gave a soft, coquettish huff, pouted, and began taking small bites of the meat bun.

Seeing how absentminded she was, Qin Moyu grew curious. "What are you thinking about? You seem so absorbed."

"Nothing. I was just a little curious about what your martial soul is, Brother Mo Yu. Why couldn't those villagers see you yesterday?" Xue Ke took small bites of her meat bun and skillfully changed the subject.

"It's just a very ordinary martial soul. I'm only a tiny three-ring Soul Master. Maybe they simply didn't notice me?"

The moment Qin Moyu finished speaking, Xue Ke could not help rolling her eyes at him, though she did not continue pressing the matter.

A tiny three-ring Soul Master?

She had never seen a three-ring Soul Master whose cultivation was already at the Soul King level, nor had she ever seen a Soul Master with so much strange and unusual knowledge in his head.

After a simple breakfast, the group left the inn and headed toward Heaven Dou City...
