[Pioneer] The world after being destroyed by the Supernatural Calamity!
Wu Liang had never imagined that this term would come out of his own mouth.
But ever since arriving in this Fierce Ghost World, everything he faced felt too coincidental, and the places filled with a sense of discord were hard not to fuel endless imagination.
Especially since the territories of the Fierce Ghosts appear in the form of cities, and although the entertainment facilities within these cities do not satisfy their needs, they still exist.
This incredible circumstance eventually led Wu Liang to a bizarre speculation:
The existence of the cities and the modes of entertainment have been inherited in a fragmented manner.
As for what was fragmented, it was naturally another civilization before the Fierce Ghost World — human civilization.
"Not bad, it seems that over this past month, you have not only been sightseeing; you've finally noticed the clues." The Ghost Compendium said cheerfully.
Then it pointed toward the distant setting Dark Sun and whispered: "Everything in the world is like this sun, rising in the east and setting in the west. No matter how glorious this day's development, at night it will naturally set. Conversely, no matter how dark and hopeless the night, the next day's sun will still rise."
This sentence caused Wu Liang to fall silent.
He naturally understood the metaphorical meaning in the words of the Ghost Compendium.
For the Ghost Compendium, an entity aware of all worlds, capable of freely traversing every world space, and even time, human civilization is just the glory of a day's development.
No matter how glorious, there will always be a time of dissipation and loneliness.
Eventually, another civilization will rise from the ruins of human civilization.
That is the Fierce Ghost Civilization.
"So, what is the meaning of your existence alongside the stone tablet? Is it merely to shatter human civilization?" After contemplating for several minutes, Wu Liang asked, "If that were the case, you could do it yourself, so why does something like a Supernatural Calamity exist?"
This has been Wu Liang's most puzzling question all along — the origin of the Supernatural Calamity.
Human civilization had always been proud of science, believing that no matter the phenomenon, it could be understood and analyzed through scientific means.
Until the advent of the Supernatural Calamity, the existence of the Fierce Ghost completely shattered the rigor of science.
Even the birth of the Awakened was unknown to anyone; how this supernatural power was obtained remained an unknown mystery.
After the recent conversation with the First Emperor, Wu Liang became very clear that the stone tablet existed in multiple worlds.
But Wu Liang always felt that its existence held more significance than what the First Emperor surmised.
After all, he was unaware of the existence of the Ghost Compendium.
The Ghost Compendium is truly the key element!
"If I say the purpose of my existence is to allow human civilization to evolve, would you believe me?" The Ghost Compendium continued to gaze at the distant Dark Sun.
"How is that so? Does destruction count as evolution?" Wu Liang asked a bit skeptically.
He acknowledged that since the emergence of the Supernatural Calamity, a unique existence known as the Awakened began to appear within humanity.
Even under the feedback of the second Supernatural Calamity, it seemed likely that the entire human race might become Awakened.
At that point, when everyone possesses Awakened abilities, the social structure and development of the world will undoubtedly be vastly different, it would certainly be considered as the evolution of human civilization.
But all this can only be achieved as long as human civilization still exists!
Although Wu Liang had only encountered two worlds now, one being the reality world, the other the current Fierce Ghost World.
But if his assumption was correct — in fact, all human civilizations in all worlds would be destroyed by the Fierce Ghosts during the second Supernatural Calamity!
Would such a future truly be considered the evolution of civilization? Or what relationship does this evolution have with humans? The ultimate outcome is merely destruction.
"See, this is the biggest difference between us." The Ghost Compendium said blandly: "Although my self-awareness was born from you, the scenery I see is far broader than yours."
"For you, the reality world is the only one; once destroyed, it is gone completely."
"But to me, it isn't so. The world is an endless thing, just like this world we are in now was already destroyed by the Supernatural Calamity... Oh, back then they called it 'Supernatural Massacre,' as there were still slight differences between worlds. After the Fierce Ghost successfully took over this world, it made no difference to me; the only thing I needed to do was one simple act—"
"Change to another world, see what its ending will be."
The words of the Ghost Compendium rang in Wu Liang's ears, almost earth-shattering.
At first, when Wu Liang realized that the Ghost Compendium began to possess self-awareness, he had speculated that its personality and aspects would be very similar to his own, as it was, in some sense, an extension of his consciousness.
But the recent words dispelled this notion.
The thoughts and behaviors of the Ghost Compendium do not contain a shred of human nature.
It truly adopts a godly perspective to overlook the world's desolation.
Whether the world is destroyed or not, regardless of its end, it is unimportant.
If dissatisfied, just change to another world, like buying snacks at a street stall; if they aren't delicious, discard them and buy other snacks without needing to worry whether the original snack stall will collapse because of oneself.
