Chapter 305 Theory of the Apocalypse Evolution

After the helicopter arrived at the Rose Manor, Lin Zaishan and Sophia immediately went to see Mr. Xiangzhu and reported to her about the trip.

"The environment in Tiankeng is more dangerous than what you told us. Are you fooling us?"

"Don't talk nonsense. With your intelligent wisdom, can I fool you? The only explanation is: the sinkhole is evolving itself."

"What?" Lin Zaishan and Sophia were both surprised.

"Stones grow upward like plants, and buds bear gems. Don't you think all this is a manifestation of living things?"

"It's true." Lin Zaishan recalled what he saw and heard in Tiankeng and found that Tiankeng was indeed like a living body, and seemed to have the awareness of self-prevention.

Sofia said: "Master, if the sinkhole really has evolved itself, then what kind of life does it belong to?"

"I cannot answer this question. I can only say: many things that happen in the end of the world are beyond the limits that humans can interpret normally and even accept. If we want to get out of the end of the world, we must grit our teeth and accept and learn all the surprises, horrors and frights of all this, and let ourselves stand at the top of the evolution chain as soon as possible - only in this way can we control our own destiny. If we still keep our eyes closed and listened like before, we will be self-satisfied and stubborn, then we will be eliminated and extinct."

"Master, we have obtained a lot of gems this time, please check it out."

Mr. Xiangzhu excitedly explored the gem samples placed on the table by Lin Zaishan and Sophia, "That's great! It's such an unparalleled harvest! The blessings of you two are far beyond my comparative relationship with me and my fellow disciples. It seems that you are indeed the best candidates for implementing the Hell Light Plan. With these gems, I am fully confident that you can advance to the sixth-level star soul within a few days."

"Is it true?" Sophia was so excited. "You can also use these gems to evolve to level seven."

Mr. Xiangzhu shook his head, "The gap from level 6 to level 7 cannot be filled by gems. Any star soul to complete this evolution must mark the seven threshold-type star soul symbols, and each star soul symbol needs to consume millions of energy reserves."

Lin Zaishan asked: "Are the gems we collected not enough to supply the energy reserves needed to advance to level seven?"

"You should have realized that the energy reserve required to mark the Star Soul symbol and the energy supplied by gems is not as simple as pouring water from one cup into another. The energy required for evolution is not only pure, but also endogenous to the evolver, and its acquisition and use must comply with the rules of the Galaxy System. Let me give you an example, does it mean that your fuel car has infinite power?"

"Of course not. Regardless of the external energy reserves, the power of each car is limited; and the power cannot be increased at will. Its improvement requires innovation and improvement in software, hardware, process technology and other aspects."

"That's the reason. The acquisition of these energy gems only provides a large amount of external high-quality energy reserves for our evolution, but evolution essentially depends on our inner energy storage and the development of our ability to utilize."

"Master, no matter what, it's better to have these gems than not, right?"

"Yes. These gems not only contain powerful energy, but also contain many information about different worlds and superpowers. If we can extract and crack this information, it will greatly promote the evolution of the Star Soul and the mastery of the end-of-day black technology and superpowers."

"Master, then what are we waiting for? Let's crack it now!"

"Sofia's stupid child, cracking this information is not a job that ordinary trialists can do, only the Star Soul coder can do."

“Can’t you even be able to do it?”

“I’m not a coder.”

"Then can we go somewhere to hire a coder? If he doesn't come, I can tie him up."

"It's no need to worry. There is a coder with unlimited potential in front of us." Mr. Xiangzhu stared at Lin Zaishan with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Zhaolin? He is actually the so-called coder?" Sophia was stunned at first, then smiled knowingly, "Master, you have such a good vision."

Lin Zaishan smiled bitterly and said, "You are indeed scheming and cunning! You chose me as Sophia's partner, probably because you also like my coder's ability?"

"Of the 9 pairs of Hell Light Trialers I have chosen, there are only two coders. You Lin Zaishan is one of them. You are also the one with the most hope of completing the trial and advancing to the seventh-level star soul. In a sense, the success or failure of the Hell Light Project and even the future and destiny of the entire human race in the end of the world are actually entrusted to you both."

"Are you sure that as long as we advance to level seven, we can save the earth and defeat the end of the world?"

"The realization of the ultimate rescue goal certainly requires a long and difficult process, but only by upgrading to level 7 can we break through the bottleneck, which means that humans in the end of the world have the ability to get rid of the deadly constraints represented by the Star Soul Herder and freely create their own future."

"I know a seventh-level star soul man. His existence and appearance are of great significance to me. He has saved me from the deadly threats many times; but he has not significantly changed the appearance of the end of the world and the overall process of human declining. Have you exaggerated the role of the seventh-level star soul man?"

"I know you are talking about Trial No. 99. He is the only Trial No. 99 who has evolved to level seven and is still alive. Trial No. 99 has a larger seniority than my master. He is taking the "semi-ascetic monk-half-tester". On the one hand, he accepts tasks from the system to get points and rewards, and on the other hand, he adheres to the rules and regulations, refuses to intervene in secular struggles, and cannot kill animals."

Lin Zaishan couldn't help but laugh when he heard "adhering to the rules and regulations".

Mr. Xiangzhu sighed: "Don't underestimate the ascetic other half of the Trial No. 99 trial. This may be the key reason why he is still alive."

"What do you mean?"

"According to level 7 is certainly an invincible existence in the end of the world, but at the same time it will also be subject to more restrictions and punishments from the rules of the galaxy system. If you are not careful, you may touch the 'Heavenly Condemnation'. Many 7-level star souls are not threatened and killed by the end of the world, but died tragically in the 'Heavenly Condemnation'. Because the Trial No. 99 adheres to the rules and regulations, they invisibly avoid a lot of 'Heavenly Condemnation', so they can survive to this day."

"I'll go! So the seventh-level star soul is not the king of glory that is high and noble, but a high-risk profession that must be sandwiched in its tail?"

Mr. Xiangzhu nodded, "However, the seventh-level star soul is not only a human being to save himself in the end of the world, but also a necessary path for individual life to lead to eternity. You cannot bypass it. If you cannot be promoted to the seventh level, you will only be eliminated or bend down to the fate of other seventh-level strong people. I believe that the latter situation is not something you two can accept."

"I have a few questions to ask. First, it's only been a few years since humans entered the end of the world, and how did the so-called Trial No. 99 or Master Kongsei evolve to level seven? Is he riding a rocket?"

"Of course it is impossible to evolve to level seven in a few years, but it takes decades or hundreds of years."

"What do you mean? Don't tell me that Master Kongse has started practicing since his mother's womb, so how can his parents bear it?"

"I don't know how many years have Master Kong Se practiced to achieve his current achievements."

"Then how should you explain his seventh level existence?"

"It's very simple." Mr. Xiangzhu replied with great certainty: "Because he comes from a parallel world. Long before this earth entered the end of the world, he had already received trials on other earths."

"Parallel Earth?" Lin Zaishan was skeptical. "If this sentence came from the mouths of crazy scientists such as Sam, I would not be surprised at all; but I still feel incredible if you, the layman, said it."

“Is it difficult for Buddhist believers like me to accept the theory of parallel worlds?”

"What evidence do you have about the theory of parallel worlds or parallel earths?"

"certainly!"

"What evidence?" Lin Zaishan asked excitedly.

Mr. Xiangzhu smiled slightly and replied slowly, "Because I came from the parallel earth."

Lin Zaishan fell into petrochemicals; Sophia also held her chin and pondered.

//////////////

After a long time, Lin Zaishan woke up and approached Mr. Xiangzhu, sniffed his nose hard, as if he saw a ghost.

Mr. Xiangzhu knocked the bamboo stick on the floor and said angrily: "You are so rude."

Lin Zaishan said, "Sorry, I can't help but be curious. I just want to smell the breath of another earth from your old man; but I smelled nothing except the fragrance of flowers. Can you reveal which means of transportation you need to take from another earth to the earth where I am?"

"After you are promoted to Level 6, I will introduce you in detail. What you and Sophia need to do now is to focus on upgrading, and to Level 6 and Level 7 at all costs in the shortest time. I hope I can see this day in my lifetime. If you really can do it, maybe I won't be harvested."

Sofia said: "Master, you are already in Level 6 now. Why don't you advance to Level 7 by yourself, but you need us Level 5 to achieve it?"

Mr. Xiangzhu sighed and said to Lin Zaishan: "Explain it for me."

"Your master is now a harvest object anchored by the Star Soul Herder. Any evolutionary trends of her will alarm the Star Soul Herder at the first time. Her blind impact on level 7 will only lead to early harvest. Am I right to explain this?"

"That's right." Mr. Xiangzhu sighed again, "So all my hopes can only be placed on you nine young couples, especially you two."

"Please rest assured that Master, I will never let you down!"

Lin Zaishan said: "I can only guarantee that I will do my best, but before mastering the specific knowledge and methods, I am not sure that I can do it."

"Maybe the Star Soul Coders are all your characteristics. I hope to understand all the mysteries and make everything happen. This is great; but sometimes, we don't have time to think carefully. The only thing we can do is to do what we can do based on the limited knowledge and resources at hand, just like grasping the last life-saving straw."

"I have a more specific question to ask for." Lin Zaishan said: "I took a white gem in Tiankeng and cracked the code information inside and obtained the ability to cross the space."

Sophia said with envy and jealousy when she heard this, "You can show off."

Lin Zaishan continued: "The method of practicing the space spanning superpowers I discovered requires three conditions: marking the relevant 1 fifth-level star soul symbol and 3 fourth-level star soul symbols, chanting the spell code, and taking the white energy gem. Sophia cannot practice because her first condition is not met; I want to develop some pseudo-codes so that she can borrow space spanning superpowers, but it has not been successful. What are your opinions on this?"

"I am not a coder, and my space-crossing ability was obtained by accident. Every time I use space-crossing ability, I need to recite the mantras I realized from the white gems. I will pass these mantra information to you now, so you can study it yourself." Mr. Xiangzhu said as he sent a piece of consciousness into a white gem.

Lin Zaishan immediately took the gem to take it. He was surprised at first, but quickly shook his head disappointedly, "Your spell code is only effective for Level 6 Star Souls, and requires a bunch of additional conditions. Even if Sophia is promoted to Level 6, it may not be able to meet it."

"Don't mention the ability to cross space, but focus on how to effectively utilize these gems." Mr. Xiangzhu picked up a black gem the size of a peanut. "This gem contains about 10,000 units of pure negative energy. If the gem light explodes, these energy is enough to severely damage a sixth-level star soul. However, using a reasonable method, it can be absorbed harmlessly."

"You didn't happen to master the method of absorbing gem energy harmlessly, did you?"

"What do you think I'm all idle? After repeated research these days, I finally discovered a harmless way to absorb neutral energy and negative energy in gemstones. Especially the latter method is of great significance, which means that you can increase your negative energy reserves without creating sin or releasing the dark side of your psychology."

"Then can we start absorbing it now?" Sofia was a little impatient.

"Don't be anxious first, there is a point to be clear: my method is only effective for you, Sophia, but not for Lin Zaishan. Because he has always been in the positive energy mode, and has become accustomed to being friendly to positive energy. If he rashly absorbs negative energy, he will inevitably have serious conflicts or even become disabled."

"I'll go!" Lin Zaishan exclaimed, "Fortunately, I stayed away from black gems and colorful gems from beginning to end. But I have a question, isn't Sophia also a positive energy mode?"

"Sophia transitioned from negative energy mode to positive energy mode. She can be affinity with positive and negative energy at the same time, without both physical and mental health."

"Are you suggesting that as long as those who turn back to the right, prodigal sons turn back, and turn to the light can enjoy this offer?"

"Wrong. Sophie and your model are not replicable, you are all unique."

"This sounds comfortable, but I still can't absorb negative energy, right?"

"cannot."

"Well, at least I've been worried about a lot of things."

"Lin Zaishan, I'm going to help Sophia absorb the black gems below. Please go outside to protect the Dharma. No one is allowed to disturb you."

"Ok!"

Lin Zaishan immediately walked out of the house and stood quietly at the door.

A surprising energy field was emitted in the room in a short while. This energy field scared the mutant birds passing by the Rose Manor and flew in a mess. Many plants were shaking violently as if they were blown by the strong wind. People inside and outside the manor were all stunned, and some even couldn't withstand the impact and fainted suddenly. After a few minutes, the energy field returned to calm. After another few minutes, more powerful energy appeared and then calmed down again. This repeated many rounds.

//////////////

About 3 hours later, Sofia pushed the door open.

Although her appearance has not changed at all, her aura, vitality and mental outlook have been completely renewed, even making Lin Zaishan feel as if she is floating like an immortal.

"Is this the state after being promoted to level 6?" Lin Zaishan was staring at Sofia and was curious, but the latter suddenly jumped up and attacked him. The two of them attacked more than 500 moves in a row in 3 minutes, and finally separated suddenly.

Sofia smiled and said, "Silly Pig, how good is the level 6 master?"

"It's not bad, at least it's not worse than the Martial Saint."

"Actually you are better." Sofia patted Lin Zaishan's shoulder, "You are proud to be able to fight me, the newly promoted sixth-level star soul master, as a level 5, which is more than 500 moves."

Mr. Xiangzhu had already left the house and saw clearly the battle between the two. "You two don't need to brag about each other anymore. The following is a very critical challenge before you. In a sense, the ultimate challenge has begun to be previewed in advance."

Lin Zaishan and Sophia listened carefully. The rapid increase in strength made them have extraordinary confidence that they would not panic easily when they encountered dangerous situations.

"The energy field that Sophia escaped when she was promoted to the sixth-level star soul just now was extremely powerful, and it must have alarmed the Star Soul Herder. I judged that they would come here in a very short time. You also know that they must not have too many Sixth-level Star Souls mankind on Earth. The challenge you two need to accept is to do their best to avoid the pursuit of the Star Soul Herder. Sophia will be the main target. Lin Zaishan, please be sure to exert the spirit of salvation and protect Sophia; otherwise all our efforts will be wasted, and you don't want to live alone."

"Received! I was a professional resident who died, and now it is the time for me to perform my professional standards. Do you have any golden fingers?"

"I would like to remind you: Sophia should have the conditions to cross superpowers in the cultivation space, which will bring you a lot of conveniences to quickly flash people. Using this superpower well, it will be difficult for the Star Soul Herder to capture you. In addition, the Star Soul Herder has a lot of affairs and it is impossible to chase you one by one. As long as you hide for a few days or nights, you should be safe and sound for the time being."
