Chapter 396: When Civilization Became the Carrier

"Amplify the wavelength, yes, that's the spot, delve deeper."

In the endless abyss, the World's Child · Civilization was sealed within a unique machine, and a series of mechanical devices had been constructed with him as the core.

Qin Muye was attempting to find the World's Heart. Prior to this, he had failed fifty-three times, spending nearly three years in the process.

It had been Qin Muye's thirteenth year in this virtual world, and his territory had naturally developed rapidly over these thirteen years.

"Finally, I've found it, though it's a bit unexpected," Qin Muye said, looking at what was called the World's Heart. He now understood why he couldn't find it before and why he didn't know where it was.

Theoretically, the World's Heart didn't exist.

"Legacy continues, civilization thrives, and wherever humanity is, that is the World's Heart."

"From the moment they stole the power of the World's Child, they became a part of the World's Heart."

"In short, the World's Child didn't die completely but merged with the humans who stole their power, forming a unified whole. This is the truth of the Extraordinary."

"It appears to be cultivation, but in essence, it's just a way of uncovering the power of our ancestors."

"Unfortunately, this power has mutated after merging with civilization."

Qin Muye had uncovered the truth about the immortality of the World's Children. They were indeed indestructible, but only as long as humanity existed. Without humans, they couldn't even maintain their own existence.

"The truth of the Extraordinary is truly sigh-worthy," Qin Muye had never imagined that the origin of an Extraordinary world would be so convoluted, at least everything seemed so absurd.

Two special species had formed a unique symbiotic relationship, bound by civilization, leading to the current awkward situation.

The Federation had naturally thrived over the years, even though the population had been reduced to half of what it was a decade ago, the quality of life had improved significantly.

With the Door Demon cleared away, the only crisis was resolved, and everything was moving in a positive direction.

Others might not know, but Umbrella Corporation certainly did. Since the elimination of the Door Demon, the resources being transported back had increased nearly tenfold.

This was the result of the development in the Federation's southern region, and Umbrella Corporation's large-scale resource extraction was very effective. After all, it wasn't their own, so they had no qualms about it.

However, this behavior had genuinely infringed on the interests of the Senate, especially the current Grand Chancellor Huang Yue. As his power grew, he had followed the old path.

Now, the conflict between the Federation and Umbrella Corporation was as intense as ever, but with Umbrella Corporation's overwhelming strength, even the Grand Chancellor couldn't take action against them.

Just like the former Grand Chancellor Situ Ke, the current Huang Yue also wanted to control Umbrella Corporation, not just to make the vast enterprise his own capital, but also to gain access to its wealth.

Everything seemed to be a cycle, the dragon slayer had now become the dragon.

Qin Muye had only glanced at the report about Huang Yue. The Grand Chancellor had long lost his chance, and no amount of scheming would change that.

The reason was simple: he had no military power.

Over the thirteen years, martial artists and secret spirit masters had been almost entirely eradicated, and the Senate had deliberately cut off these lineages. Even if there were a few survivors, they were mostly ordinary secret martial artists who had started late and had low potential, while the secret spirit lineage had been completely severed.

Secret spirits needed to be implanted from a young age, but with the death of many secret spirit masters and the severing of the lineage, this knowledge was now almost unknown. Therefore, any adult who tried to implant a secret spirit would die immediately, with a 100% mortality rate.

Secret martial arts could still be practiced, but secret spirits were truly deadly.

The Senate had been both deceived by Umbrella Corporation and acted voluntarily.

After all, in the Senate, whether it was senators or chancellors, they were all ordinary people. As ordinary people, none of them wanted Extraordinary beings to lord over them again.

As for following the path of cultivation, that was even less reliable. They had long missed the optimal time for cultivation, and their potential would be limited. If a True Martial Stage martial artist or a True Spirit Realm secret spirit master were to appear, they might not be able to stand against Umbrella Corporation's biological weapons and military equipment, but killing the Senate members would be simple.

Assassination isn't a direct confrontation. Back when the initial purge of martial artists and secret spirit masters began, they faced numerous assassination attempts, and even today, the memory still sends shivers down their spines.

At the time, they had heavy protection, but now that things have stabilized, it's impossible to have a hundred Tyrants accompanying them everywhere. It wouldn't be good for their image.

Therefore, they decisively eradicated all the legacies of these two Extraordinary forces to prevent history from repeating itself.

However, things are different with Umbrella Corporation. In the eyes of the Senate, these researchers are all ordinary people, standing on the same starting line as themselves. Both sides can use biological weapons and military equipment. Moreover, they have been bound together from the beginning, so any conflicts are internal.

Their external interests are still aligned, with no real conflicts.

"I wonder if the Emperor's Law combined with the Will of Heaven Blade can package the World's Heart and the World's Child into a territory trait?"

Now that he knew what the World's Heart was and had the World's Child as a hostage, Qin Muye knew it was time to be greedy.

Moreover, in the later stages, he would need to devour the world, and the World's Heart would definitely become an obstacle. It was better to take it into his possession first.

He had the Emperor's Law, which was a form of the Will of Heaven, and it had a certain degree of compatibility with the World's Heart. The only challenge was the Will of Heaven Blade.

Although it's called a blade, it's actually a special technique.

He originally had one, but it wasn't suitable for this world. After all, the technique needed to be adjusted to handle different situations.

The original Will of Heaven Blade was Ji Shan's Nine Cauldrons of Destiny, specifically designed to deal with the Netherworld, and it couldn't be used in this situation. Therefore, it needed to be modified.

Qin Muye intended to extract all the value from the world before devouring it.

"It shouldn't be too much of a problem, but the only concern is what will happen to humans as the carriers if the World's Heart is gone."

This involved his main quest, which required him to gain fame. Without humans, where would he go to enhance his reputation?

Finding other animals and plants wouldn't work. Qin Muye had tried, and only humans were effective. The flowers, trees, and animals were not recognized by Lords of the Epoch. This made him mutter about discrimination, wondering where the claim of the heavens being indifferent to all life had gone, only to find that there were still requirements.

So, Qin Muye had to think about it.

"It's not without a solution, but I need to act quickly."

The method was simple: capture a batch of humans, cultivate the territory trait, and then devour the world in one go. This way, the mission would be completed, and the instance destroyed. The only concern would be if the disappearance of the World's Heart could affect the Endless Abyss.

However, this was unlikely, as the Endless Abyss was a different system from this world. Once inside, Qin Muye would be in charge, and the Secret Martial World would not affect the internal workings of the Endless Abyss.

This would indeed be a win-win situation.

"Should I bring my main body back? It's not good to keep it stored with others."

He had been remotely controlling everything for years and almost got used to it.

Fortunately, all the Extraordinary beings had been eradicated, and the level of his aura of strength hadn't upgraded in a long time. No matter how surprised ordinary people were, they weren't counted, which was a significant benefit.

This was also why Umbrella Corporation had pushed for the eradication of all Extraordinary beings, with Qin Muye's reasons playing a part.

While considering whether to walk back or have someone bring him back, Qin Muye suddenly realized that someone might be trying to tamper with his body?

'Who's so reckless? And my body is in the Senate's treasure vault, the deepest one. How could someone get in? They must be powerful and influential.'

Qin Muye knew that although the Extraordinary beings had been purged, some were still hiding and surviving, as the world was vast, and hiding a few hundred was entirely possible.

After all, they were 4th or 5th stage, and if they couldn't win, they could always run. Qin Muye and his minions hadn't taken action, and the Senate's efforts had naturally had some gaps.
