Abyss Sequence-Chapter 421 - 78: Secrets

The birth of the Evil God requires Magic Power, which is why Zhuang Xu chose to block communication with the heavens, sealing the Magic Power of Blue Star. Only in this way would their civilization not give birth to an Evil God.

This could explain the mystery of the ancient Blue Star Civilization's extinction!

Yulia had an epiphany, suddenly enlightened.

How powerful was the ancient Blue Star Civilization?

Yulia only knew that they were very powerful, but she could not predict just how powerful.

At least by the Tang Dynasty, the famous poet Li Bai recorded that there were ninety-six Saints across ancient and modern times, and based on this calculation, the ancient Blue Star Civilization had at least over forty Saints.

As for the Immortals, those were even harder to count.

The ancient Blue Star Civilization was too powerful, and perhaps it had colonial stars, which is why the elves said that Blue Star once connected many worlds and was a "world hub."

Modern Blue Star Civilization doesn't possess even one ten-thousandth of the power of the ancient Blue Star Civilization!

The more intense the thought trends, the more likely they are to nurture an Evil God, and if such a powerful ancient Blue Star Civilization could nurture an Evil God, what kind of Evil God would that be?

[Powerful]? [Tyrannical]? [Strong]?

Yulia couldn't guess, but now she was just thankful that the ancient Blue Star Civilization chose to self-destruct, rather than allowing an Evil God to be born.

If the ancient Blue Star Civilization had not chosen self-destruction, not only Blue Star, but possibly the entire Galaxy Interstellar Alliance would be eliminated by the Evil God they birthed.

Their ancestors voluntarily sacrificed themselves, successfully preserving the Blue Star Civilization.

However, this is somewhat different from the scenes Yan Luo saw in the Evil God's Mark...

Yulia asked Komore: [Can the Evil God reproduce on its own?]

[This is one of the reasons why they are called 'cosmic threats.'] Komore showed a defeated emotion, [Meme life-forms can not only be nurtured by civilizational thought trends but also reproduce on their own. As long as they destroy a civilization, they reproduce an offspring. Fortunately, these offspring are not considered powerful, and if they are eliminated before they manage to spread their memes, they can be completely destroyed.]

The Evil God is a meme life-form; to kill them, unless one is above the Sequence, one must eliminate all their memes.

The Evil God [Frenzy], born on the prototype planet of the Forbidden Demon Abyss, was at its weakest due to the extinction of all life on that planet. At this time, as long as its body is destroyed, it will die.

That's why Yan Luo, in the memory from the Evil God's Mark, saw that light descending from the sky.

Yulia gained a lot from this journey. She disconnected from the telekinesis link with Komore, waved goodbye, and flew away from the abandoned mall.

Although many questions were resolved, now many more questions floated in Yulia's mind.

It's known that those above the Sequence can eliminate Evil Gods, so why do the elves of Alfheim choose to remain stagnant, even though they possess strong figures of the Saint rank, and yet stay reclusive in Alfheim?

The high-ranking elves must know something, which is why they confine themselves to one world and don't interact with other worlds.

But what's puzzling is that the elf Saints know so much, yet did not prevent contact between Blue Star and Alfheim, why is that?

And in the case of likely knowing that the 'Secret Realm is the Evil God,' why would the elf Saints allow elves to become the Master of the Secret Realm?

These questions will likely need to be addressed by finding the elf Saints.

Yulia set aside her complicated thoughts and flew in the direction of No.2 Crimson.

......

Yan Luo had always been hunting demons in the isolated abyss until he felt the aliens might be arriving, and only then did he leave the abyss.

After exiting the abyss, he realized that the aliens had already arrived on Blue Star.

However, it was somewhat different from what he had imagined; the aliens did not visit Blue Star by driving their fleets, but instead, arrived silently through portals. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

And Yulia had already made contact with them.

The Galaxy Interstellar Alliance, cosmic threats, the reason for the ancient Blue Star Civilization's self-destruction... even Yan Luo couldn't help but be shocked and start pondering after hearing these things.

'The Evil God is born from thought trends'—no wonder the ancient Blue Star Civilization chose to tear apart the already united world, and Gonggong tried to topple the building suspected to be the 'Tower of Babel.'

As long as the world is divided, an Evil God is difficult to be born from thought trends. However, the ancient Blue Star Civilization later discovered that even after splitting the world and severing the connection with the abyss, an Evil God could still be born, so they chose to seal the Magic Power and kill the Evil God in the cradle.

As for why only Evil Gods are often born from thought trends, and not positive beings, Yan Luo thought it might be because positive emotions are usually fleeting, and only negative emotions can endure.

From a thought trend led by negative emotions, naturally, only an Evil God could be born.

Then, in a world led by positive emotions, what would be born from the thought trends?

Yan Luo immediately thought of Alfheim.

The elves have been living quiet and peaceful lives for thousands of years until now, remaining particularly happy and serene.

In such circumstances, what could Alfheim's thought trends potentially nurture?

Thinking of this, Yan Luo was already eager to head to Alfheim.

Only the elf Saints can know the answer to this matter, perhaps this was the result born under their guidance.

Yan Luo shared his speculations with Yulia, solidifying her determination to go to Alfheim to seek answers from the elf Saints.

There are currently two Saints in Alfheim, both of whom are ancient creatures that have lived for thousands of years, and they certainly know something; otherwise, they wouldn't have sealed off Alfheim.

Fortunately, the next inter-world trade will start soon, and Yan Luo and the others only need to wait patiently for a few days.

......

"It's better if fewer people know that Evil Gods are born from thought trends."

Wu Zechuan learned about what the Bota Star people told Yulia during a dinner with Yan Luo and the others, and after pondering for a moment, he said this sentence.

"Why?" Yan Luo couldn't understand for a moment.

Sasa nudged Yan Luo's arm with her elbow and explained, "Because knowing about this in itself might trigger the birth of an Evil God."

Wu Zechuan nodded approvingly and continued, "When people know that an Evil God is born from thought trends, when this becomes a common understanding, it itself becomes a thought trend, and naturally, an Evil God will be born from it. Thus, the fewer people who know about this, the better. As long as this doesn't become the mainstream of thought trends, the speed of an Evil God's birth will slow down."

Yan Luo understood, but his brow furrowed again, "But an Evil God is destined to be born..."

"Yes, an Evil God is destined to be born, only it's a matter of time." Wu Zechuan sighed, his interest waned as he picked up a piece of fish from the dish in front of him.

As long as Magic Power exists in this world, there will always be Evil Gods being born.

Magic Power never favors anything; it enables intelligent beings to achieve miraculous feats, and naturally, intelligent beings must pay some price for it.

The Evil God is the price of using Magic Power.

Like in the previous few thousand years, when Blue Star's Magic Power was sealed, so the Evil God that should have been born was stillborn; as long as one abandons this convenient power of Magic Power, the world can return to normal.

But can it really be abandoned?

Not to mention elves, who rely on Magic Power for survival, even the Blue Star People would never abandon Magic Power.

Currently, Blue Star's technological lock has not yet been lifted, and abandoning Magic Power would be equivalent to abandoning the future.

For this reason, Blue Star cannot once again block communication with the heavens and seal Magic Power.

They can only endure the price of using Magic Power, with no other alternative.

This dinner was quite sullen; no one spoke or chatted.

Because none of them had the interest.

After dinner, Wu Zechuan left; he wanted to go to Lingquan City to discuss wedding matters with his fiancée. Now that he has restored eight engravings, traveling between Lingquan City and No.2 Crimson takes just a few minutes, allowing him to commute between the two places, work on No.2 Crimson during the day, and spend the evenings with Lan Cuifu.

On the way home, Sasa asked Yan Luo, "How are your preparations going?"

Yan Luo looked down at his hands, slowly clenching them into fists.

"I already have the strength of fifty thousand horses."
