[As time passed, the Meme Virus continued to iterate and evolve. In the end, humanity across the entire planet suffered a continuous 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 literacy. All written records gradually became incomprehensible—not because people had gone blind and could not see them, but because they could no longer understand them.]
[All humans lost the cognition that made them intelligent lifeforms. They retained human shapes, but their minds had devolved into those of ignorant beasts.]
[But this was not the end. Humans infected by the Meme Virus even began to undergo gradual physical distortions. Hair spread wildly over their bodies, and their tailbones quietly mutated, growing long, slender tails...]
[When the end arrived, humanity throughout the entire star system would devolve, reverting to ape-like forms. The once brilliant civilization would collapse with a crash. All technology, culture, heritage, and knowledge would return to their starting point, and civilization would begin anew.]
[Not only that, the Meme Virus's infection was not limited to organic beings. Airplanes made of steel devolved into birds, while cars devolved into elephants...]
[Hundreds of millions of apes would begin a new round of evolution atop the ruins of what had once been called "home."]
[The scope of this Meme Virus experiment was measured in star systems.]
[How vast was a star system? Douluo Continent was merely one planet. Even in the era of Soul Land III: Legend of the Dragon King, they had not managed to leave Douluo IV. Only during the era of Douluo IV: Ultimate Douluo did they truly step into the concept of a star-system civilization.]
[No wonder the Xianzhou had always resisted Abundance. So Meme Bodies were this terrifying...]
The diary entry ended there, and the female leads, who had been eagerly watching the drama, instantly fell into dead silence.
Everyone was utterly stunned by the terrifying premise of a Meme Virus experiment conducted on the scale of an entire star system. The once-lively comment section immediately went quiet, and only after a long while did someone finally leave a message...
Soul Land II, Xu Tianzhen: "Th-this Meme Virus is way too sinister. It's terrifying!"
Soul Land I, Dugu Yan: "Th-this counts as poison too? Yes, it does, but it somehow doesn't?"
Soul Land I, Huo Wu: "Viruses are impossible to guard against. From that perspective, the Meme Virus really is a toxin..."
Soul Land I, Ye Lingling: "Yan, this Meme Virus is too scary. You have a poison-attribute constitution yourself, so why don't you ask Mo Yu to lend you a cultivation method? Ask the big shot to protect you~"
Soul Land I, Dugu Yan: "No, sis, how am I supposed to ask Lord Mo Yu for a cultivation method? What if he gets unhappy and infects me with the Meme Virus instead?"
Soul Land I, Ye Lingling: "You don't need to use your head. Just offer yourself up! Mo Yu is really nice. I'm sure he'll lend it to you. Besides, he doesn't cultivate the Toxin-based Lifeform..."
Soul Land I, Dugu Yan: "???"
Was that even something a person would say? Was this still her good best friend?
She was just asking for a cultivation method. How had it become so weird coming out of Ye Lingling's mouth?
Soul Land IV, Yuanen Huihui: "So why would an airplane revert into a bird? Is it because, conceptually speaking, airplanes can fly?"
Soul Land IV, Lan Mengqin: "Damn, Huihui, you spotted the key point!"
Soul Land IV, Bai Xiuxiu: "No, isn't that even more terrifying when you think about it? Even metal machines with no option to revert to an ancestor could have their concepts forcibly altered and regress into living creatures?!"
Soul Land IV, Ye Lingtong: "A method comparable to that of a god was actually created by technology. That's truly terrifying..."
Could the god-level powerhouses of the Douluo Plane accomplish something like this?
Ye Lingtong did not say those words aloud.
But not a single god-level powerhouse from the era of Soul Land IV had left a message in the Diary Copy from beginning to end. Perhaps she already had her answer...
Just as the female leads of the Myriad Heavens Diary were immersed in shock, Qin Moyu abruptly changed the subject and suddenly revealed an even more astonishing diary entry...
[Speaking of Meme Viruses, I suddenly remembered that I was actually attacked by a Meme Virus on Earth in my previous life.]
The moment those words appeared, the entire comment section exploded!
Soul Land II, Xu Tianzhen: "???"
Soul Land II, Xu Jiujiu: "That strong!!!"
Soul Land I, Huo Wu: "Even an ordinary world suffered a Meme Virus disaster? How terrifying..."
Soul Land I, Qian Renxue: "A technological civilization without martial souls or a cultivation system survived after encountering a Meme Virus?"
Soul Land I, Dugu Yan: "Lord Mo Yu, amazing!!!"
Just as the female leads imagined a scene of "Emperor Qin Moyu defying fate in his past life and resisting a Meme Virus catastrophe," the diary entry took a sudden turn...
[Whenever I see netizens type 2.5, Kun Bro's figure automatically pops into my mind, and my body instinctively wants to do a little chicken, you're too beautiful dance. This Meme Virus has practically been carved into my DNA.]
The female leads in the Myriad Heavens Diary Copy: "???"
No, broᓖ뮤??
This was truly godlike...
[The Meme Virus looks unsolvable, but it is really just a crisis similar to Cthulhu-style mental contamination. There are quite a few ways to resolve it.]
[The Myriad Poisons Codex in my possession is one of them. Besides, this is only the second stage of mental toxins.]
[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 perspective as a four-dimensional lifeform, I can barely describe the preliminary ability of the third stage of the Myriad Poisons Codex.]
[Once cultivated to the third stage, one can step beyond the timeline and become completely immune to all toxin attacks originating from the timeline.]
[Whether it is a future powerhouse crossing the timeline to poison you, or old hidden injuries left within the body and soul by toxins in a past timeline, all of them can be completely erased by the power of the "causality" dimension.]
[Because you are now immune to all poisons, toxins 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 description of the fourth stage is entirely inscribed in seven-dimensional script. Having only just entered the level of a four-dimensional lifeform, I simply cannot comprehend this "forbidden knowledge."]
[Furthermore, it remains unknown whether the Myriad Poisons Codex has a fifth stage. Still, there are parts of this cultivation method worth learning from, so I'll keep it for now...]
Inside the country inn, Qin Moyu closed his diary and stretched lazily.
As soon as he turned around, he saw the door to the neighboring room open. Xue Ke emerged, rubbing her sleepy eyes with a bewildered expression.
"Miss Xue Ke, you're awake?"
Qin Moyu smiled slightly in greeting and casually handed her a steamer basket of meat buns.
"Ah... mmph, thank you, Brother Mo Yu..."
Xue Ke froze for a moment before she could react. The meat bun lightly bonked her little head.
The young woman rubbed her head, and her fair cheeks instantly flushed red. She let out a soft, coquettish complaint, pouted, and began taking small bites of the meat bun.
Seeing how distracted she was, Qin Moyu grew curious. "What are you thinking about? You're 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 humble three-ring Soul Master. Maybe they simply didn't notice me?"
As soon as Qin Moyu finished speaking, Xue Ke could not help rolling her eyes at him, though she did not continue questioning him.
A humble three-ring Soul Master?
She had never seen a three-ring Soul Master whose cultivation was already at the level of a Soul King, nor had she ever seen a Soul Master with so much bizarre knowledge stuffed into his head.
After a simple breakfast, the group left the inn and headed toward Heaven Dou City...
