What Is a Meme?
Led by Dugu Yan, the group traveled smoothly without any obstacles.
The further you go into the center, the more towering and majestic the surrounding trees become. Ancient trees block out the sun, making the light in the forest dim and damp, and the air is filled with a faint earthy and grassy scent.
After walking several hundred meters further, an extremely bizarre scene suddenly appeared ahead.
Visible emerald-green poisonous miasma formed a natural wall, blocking their path.
The poisonous miasma churned, leaving withered vegetation and lifeless landscapes in its wake, exuding a chilling aura.
"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan shouted loudly.
Buzz--
Poisonous miasma surged, and the air currents vibrated.
A gaunt and emaciated figure slowly emerged from the depths of the green poisonous fog.
He seemed to be one with the poison, his body surrounded by a faint aura of phosphorescent venom, and every step he took carried a deathly, chilling sense of oppression.
Her long, dark green hair was casually draped over her shoulders; her face was withered and pale, with sharp, cold features.
A pair of eerie green eyes, like will-o'-the-wisps, carried a chilling aura.
It was none other than Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
He glanced at Xiao Wu, but there was no greed in his eyes.
[This is the old poisoner Tang San mentioned; indeed, his entire body is poisonous.]
[But this poison is much weaker than This Seat expected!]
[This guy dares to call himself the number one poison Soul Master in the world, let alone dominate the world with poison? It's This Seat!]
No wonder Tang San was so disdainful when Dugu Bo was mentioned!
A strange look appeared on Ning Wen's face.
The scenario of a powerful expert who is proficient in poison being harmed by their own poison backfires is something that only happens in the Douluo Continent!
Even in some martial arts worlds, this situation wouldn't occur.
Even if it were true, it would only be under conditions of severe damage.
From this perspective, Douluo truly deserves the title of "fantasy floor tile".
Dugu Bo's face was terrifyingly dark.
He devoted his life to the study of poisons and believed that on this continent, almost no one could rival him in the use of poisons.
But this kid in front of me completely denigrated it.
And that bastard Tang San, he stole his Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, made him take the blame, and secretly looked down on him.
This woman is treating him like a fool!
The art of poison is profound and complex, emphasizing using poison to counteract poison and nourish the body, rather than being trapped by poison and suffering its harm.
A true master of poison can transform an entire world into a poisonous domain with a mere wave of their hand, causing all living beings to wither and die.
These words struck Dugu Bo like a thunderclap.
His body trembled violently, and the surging poison gas involuntarily subsided by most of its original size. The gloomy look in his eerie green eyes was instantly replaced by immense shock.
With a wave of his hand, he can turn an entire world into a poisonous domain, causing all living beings to wither and die!
Is this possible?
What kind of poison could possibly achieve this?!
[The truly terrifying poison I've This Seat seen is Meme.]
[It uses words, images, sounds, legends, and dreams as its mediums of transmission; it requires no physical contact. One is infected simply by seeing, hearing, understanding, and repeating it.]
[Prioritizing alteration of memories and distortion of cognition, creating hallucinations, and assimilating infected individuals into new transmission vectors, rather than destroying the physical body.]
[If the Meme outbreak is not effectively contained and controlled in its early stages, the number of infected individuals will increase exponentially, potentially destroying a world.]
Ning Wen's mouth opened slightly, unsure of what to say.
Good grief, you've even come up with Meme, why don't you make a Cthulhu one?
If we attract them, we're doomed.
Meme vary in strength; the weak ones are harmless, while the strong ones, once fully developed, might be untouchable even by the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Xiao Wu were somewhat bewildered.
They hadn't quite grasped it yet.
Altering memories, distorting cognition, and creating hallucinations are indeed terrifying, but surely they wouldn't reach the point of destroying the world?
[ In This Seat past life, I encountered a Meme called "All Things Return to Void," which had no physical form and was itself a narrative concept that "the world should return to Void."]
[It doesn't need to be seen or heard; as long as someone contemplates the proposition that "all things ultimately return to Void," they will begin to be infected.]
[The creatures that come into contact with it will experience a profound sense of Void, feeling that all struggle, love, hate, and civilization in the world are utterly meaningless.]
[Reason remained, but the thought that "everything should be destroyed" kept growing within him.]
[These infected individuals will share Void ideas with others, write articles, tell stories, and spread Meme.]
[When a certain number of beings accept this narrative, the power of the Meme will begin to interfere with reality.]
[The earth begins to collapse silently, mountains and rivers slowly melt away, and living beings will voluntarily give up their lives and willingly face extinction.]
[The world itself begins to submit to the story of "all order returning to nothingness."]
Even if you smashed all the inscribed stone tablets and burned all the books, it would be of no use.
[Because Meme are already rooted in the memories and minds of countless people, as long as someone remembers this concept, it can continue to spread.]
[When more than half of intelligent life forms internalize the idea that "all things should return to Void," the Meme completes its narrative loop.]
The laws of the entire world will be rewritten.
[The stars extinguished, space crumbled, and all matter gradually dissolved and returned to Void.]
The world is not destroyed by external forces; it is the world itself that believes it "should be destroyed," and thus it perishes.
[Even if it means slaughtering all infected people and destroying all carriers.]
[But as long as this concept remains in the mind of even a single living being, the Meme will lie dormant, waiting for an opportunity to spread again.]
Even if the entire world is destroyed, as long as a remnant consciousness carries this memory, it can be revived in another world.
[If This Seat weren't for my innate Divine Artifact, the Kunlun Mirror, I probably would have been infected and become a source of infection myself.]
Ning Wen's expression changed slightly.
Brother, don't scare me!
This is not just empty talk.
If it's really as you say, and only the concept that "all things should eventually return to Void" exists, then it will begin to permeate society.
Then he's already been infected!
While it's possible this is just the Voice Pack bragging, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Dugu Bo: "..."
Dugu Yan: "..."
Xiao Wu: "..."
Chen Xin: "..."
Gu Rong: "..."
This Meme too weird and too scary!
Formless, intangible, unsolvable, and indestructible, it corrupts thoughts, alters laws, and destroys the world.
They were too naive before, thinking it was just like that.
Is this even considered poison?
It feels like it is, but it also seems like it isn't!
To be honest, they all regretted hearing these things!
The more you know, the more dangerous it feels.
