Eternal Night.

Chapter 909 Spiritual Union

Wu Pifu witnessed the true power of these sublimated beings wandering in the shattered realm.

To be honest, he had a terrible impression of the sublimated beings of the Shattered Domain, which is why he went on a killing spree as soon as he left the space. Otherwise, according to his personality, unless he was certain that the other party was not human, he would usually listen to their words and observe their actions before deciding how to deal with them.

The events that occurred in the Nightmare Space were too traumatic for him.

He wasn't a novice who had never seen bloodshed, slaughter, and death, nor was he a coward who couldn't lift a knife. Perhaps in other people's eyes, he was the taciturn Optimus Prime of humanity, the killing blade of the alien race, the messenger of death, and the incredibly powerful child of the era. But he knew who he was... He was just a human being, yet he was terrified as a human being in the Nightmare Space.

That's right!

This is the biggest reason why he was so enraged and started killing as soon as he came out... He was terrified.

To reiterate, he had witnessed bloodshed, slaughter, death, and even the most terrifying annihilation, whether in the Super Soldier Dream World, the Buddha Rebellion Dream World, or any other dream world; he had seen far too much of it.

He was equally capable of wielding a knife and killing people. Not to mention the primordial evil he had just destroyed, or the extraterrestrial demon whose mothership he had also destroyed, they could all attest to this.

He's still the same Wu Pifu, the kind of guy who lives for the moment and lets things be as they come when he's dead.

What frightened him was that the Nightmare Space prohibited the supernatural. Although there were strange creatures, those that could be killed by a normal human like him with his bare hands were not a big problem.

So initially, Wu Pifu subconsciously equated the environment of the Nightmare Space with the land of salvation for Gaia humans, or even Gaia itself, which is the world most suitable for human survival in a magic-free environment, rather than the chaotic environment of the Dream World where demons roamed freely. The humans in it were considered the same as ordinary Gaia humans.

In other words, Wu Pifu actually placed it in Earth, Gaia, or the Land of Redemption in that situation, rather than in the dream world.

Then, he witnessed firsthand just how inhuman the demons and monsters in the dream world really were.

You guys are just ordinary people anchored here, you don't even have a shred of supernatural power, and what's the result? In one night, you turned it into a biohazard, and a super biohazard at that, then started venturing into the realm of abstract consciousness. The most crucial thing is, you did all of this manually... fucking manually! An ascended being anchored to an ordinary person instantly becomes a walking biohazard and information meme, and a contagious one at that...

Wu Pifu witnessed the whole thing, and he felt a cold sweat running down his face.

It's important to understand that the current Gaia civilization's attitude towards the various civilizations in the Dream World is primarily one of contact, communication, and inclusiveness. Although the Land of Redemption and Gaia are not yet open to the public, this is largely due to the fear that humans feel upon first encountering the Dream World. In contrast, the Gaia civilization generally adopts an open-minded approach towards the many civilizations in the Dream World, including the original Wu Pifu.

Previously, three people, including Wu Pifu, Chu Minghao, and Liang Min, were allowed to access the Dream World. Although this could be considered as engaging in killing, it had nothing to do with rampages. It was more of a deterrent. However, behind this deterrent was actually an expectation, including allowing those extraordinary individuals who clearly had ulterior motives and malicious intent to infiltrate the derivative Dream World. All of this was due to this expectation.

Wu Pifu was among those who held this mainstream view.

To put it bluntly, none of the Gaia humans equate the Dream World civilization with the Dream World itself. After all, they are "civilized people" from the Absolute Reality layer, and they have only been in contact with the Dream World for a mere ten years or so (since the Land of Redemption opened). In the words of the Dream World civilization, the Gaia civilization is currently just a tender sprout in a greenhouse, not even a naive and innocent one. It is only because there are three super big shots that it seems so special and at ease.

What happened in the Nightmare Space truly woke Wu Pifu up, making him realize that the Dream World civilization and the Dream World itself were equal, both being members of this super cesspool. He absolutely could not allow these sublimated forms of the Dream World civilization to go to the Land of Redemption, to Gaia. Otherwise, the humans of Gaia would truly be ants to them, literal ants!

These three advancements are reflected not only in the knowledge and abilities he demonstrated, but also in the deepening of his awareness of the danger.

In their research on how to obtain extraordinary abilities from this broken, flaming sword, the three Ascended beings demonstrated an extraordinary depth of knowledge, proposing at least fifty different solutions in less than ten minutes.

Most importantly, these solutions are not far-fetched ideas, but are actually feasible. In fact, to make it easier for Wu Pifu to understand, they will explain the theories, logic, and knowledge involved in these solutions to him in a simple or detailed way.

This is truly incredible. Even with Wu Pifu's meager knowledge as a "college student," he knew that these three sublimated beings were at least three super professors, with incredibly rich knowledge reserves. Moreover, it wasn't just supernatural knowledge; it covered all fields of knowledge, including science and mathematics.

Using the explanation of the three sublimations, each sublimation is based on the sublimation of self-perfection. Although the perfect characteristics of each sublimation are necessarily different and have different focuses, they are all a complete sublimation of the essence of life. Therefore, what is very difficult for mortals to learn may only be a matter of glancing at a sublimation.

This is actually very similar to the superbrains. Apart from Wu Pifu, the other superbrains can learn any knowledge with ease. For example, Chu Minghao and Liang Min both have multiple doctoral degrees. As for Xu Wanfang back then, he was even more impressive. He had a background in almost all the scientific branches developed by human civilization, and even made many contributions to them. "...At the same time, after sublimation, we are no longer mortals, so time and lifespan no longer have any meaning for us. Among the three of us, I am the youngest. My book civilization is a real civilization from eighty eras ago. My current age, in adult terms, is about 1.3 billion years old. This is because I have spent most of my time sleeping in the Shattered Domain. The flow of time in many areas here is different from the outside world. Such a long lifespan, even unintentionally, is enough for my knowledge to accumulate to an extremely profound level."

The other two Ascended Beings are in a similar situation. The one who has lived the longest is an ancient being from a hundred epochs ago, with a lifespan of over three billion years. However, due to his poor aptitude, he remains a bottom-tier Ascended Being of the first rank.

This is why, in the Nightmare Space, any Ascended Being that survives the first wave can immediately transform into a catastrophe.

Their foundation is so profound that ordinary people are no better than ants in their eyes.

Fortunately, at this point, the three sublimated beings were truly tied to Wu Pifu on the same rope. In particular, this rope had to be in Wu Pifu's place. The three of them had no significance in the eyes of the fish, so they were truly doing their best to help Wu Pifu, hoping that in the next round of the fish rising to the surface, or when the fish finally swallowed the bait, Wu Pifu would treat them as a species between humans and non-humans, as he said, and at least save them.

There are over fifty feasible solutions, broadly categorized into the physical body, mental consciousness, and soul/true spirit... or rather, anything involving the extraordinary cannot be separated from these three areas.

The solution in the physical realm is quite simple: it's about physical memory and physical information.

Although there are multiple versions of this thing, their contents are largely the same, much like some of the martial arts novels that Wu Pifu remembered, such as seeing sword marks on the wall, touching them and triggering physical inspiration, and then naturally learning them.

To put it simply, it's about using your aptitude to comprehend the information contained within. The entire broken sword contains information about the extraordinary path of the Zanpakuto. As long as your aptitude is sufficient, you can understand it just by touching it.

However, this thing is too demanding in terms of aptitude, and it requires an extremely extraordinary aptitude. But the three sublimated beings confidently designed a similar plan for Wu Pifu, which was four-fifths complete.

From the perspective of the three sublimated beings, this is the most reliable solution. After all, based on the information they know about Wu Pifu, how could a super sprout who has only been in the dream world for two or three hundred years be able to reach such a level? Isn't this evidence that his talent is unimaginably heaven-defying?
Even if Wu Pifu is undoubtedly a seed of the ultimate path, there have been other seeds of the ultimate path in history. Even the most famous seed of the ultimate path in the Heavenly Court only became so powerful after experiencing seventy-two tribulations in the Dream World. That is still far inferior to Wu Pifu.

So the three sublimated beings were conveying the message through their eyes: "You can just touch it directly."

Wu Pifu silently tried to draw his knife several times, because he felt that the three nightmares were mocking him.

Seeing that Wu Pifu didn't want to use such a simple and crude method to obtain the Zanpakuto, the three ascended beings guessed that Wu Pifu was extremely arrogant and had many thoughts.

After all, relying on this kind of qualification coverage to obtain extraordinary paths does have some problems with the proportion and accuracy of the results, meaning it has significant flaws. It might not be possible to obtain the secrets and essence within. Therefore, the three sublimated bodies designed solutions at the spiritual consciousness level and the soul true spirit level.

The solutions at the spiritual and conscious level are quite complex, divided into several schools of thought. One is spiritual and conscious resonance and enlightenment, the drawback of which is that it takes a long time, because who knows what your resonating spiritual consciousness is actually saying? Another is time-level retrospective resonance, the drawback of which is that there is a "certain" possibility of getting lost in the time level. There are also things like consciousness materialization, incarnation into heaven and earth, etc. These require self-perfection to anchor, which Wu Pifu does not possess.

As for the Soul True Spirit option, there is very few, only one, and it is strongly discouraged by the three Ascended Bodies, even though it has the best effect.

That is the simplest form: spiritual communion.

"...The so-called spirituality is actually the information of the soul's true spirit. Anything or any object, as long as there is a sentient being involved, will inevitably leave behind more or less spirituality. The more crucial and core it is, the more spirituality it will have. Moreover, this kind of spirituality will almost never disappear with the passage of time. Like this ruin, this broken sword, it represents the remnants of the destruction of a dream world. Its spirituality is very strong. As long as you can merge with its spirituality, you will definitely obtain the extraordinary path of the Zanpakuto, and the most complete content. However, its side effects are terrifyingly large, so we strongly advise against you using this plan."

Wu Pifu thought the plan seemed alright, and he curiously asked what the side effects would be.

The three ascended beings looked at each other and said in unison, "Spiritual fusion will cause damage and contamination to your soul and true spirit, sir. This is a fundamental injury, almost impossible to heal. Once..."

"it is good!"

Wu Pifu immediately exclaimed excitedly, "This is it! Come on, now teach me how to achieve spiritual communion!"
